Death Of Henry Il. Appleton.

Henry H. Appleton, most of his life
identified with Odessa, but for the
past two years a resident of Middle
town, died on Friday, 65h inst, in the
68 year of his age. He had been in
failing health for several years, but the
fatal sickness of three or four days was
pneumonia.
The deceased was the oldest son of
the late John Appleton, both of whom
were all their lives by strong social
ties and familiar intercourse here as
well known almost as if residents of
the vicinity. Mr.. Appleton was the
last of a well known and influential
family Father and three sOns-there
being no male heirs to perpetuate the
name.
The deceased was given a good edu-
cation, three years at Pennington Semi
nary, n. j. and manifested such pro-
ficiency as to be given tutors place
several months before leaving for home,
and though manifesting all the capaci-
ties for professional life, chose farm
ing, his father being a large land
holder and prosperous peach grower
In his successful days he was a re-
cOgnized authority on fruit and ferti-
lizers, but there came time when
fruit culture ceased to be what it had
been, and with it reverses in health
and fortune
Mr.. Appleton possessed a construc-
tive, legal mind, and had jurisprudence
rather than agriculture been his
chosen profession, he would doubtless
have reached considerable distinction
as a counsellor. His party was mostly
in the minority thus precluding politi-
cal success, but elected to the Legis
lature just before the war, figuring
prominently throughout its session
he was warm personal friend of the
late n. B. Smithers the social relation
likewise existing between their fami-
lies, condition that also existed Will
Geo. V. Massey Esq, in the more ac
tive pursuits of life.
Besides a widow, the deceased leaves
three children, Miss Belle J. Appleton
Mrs. A. S. Whittock, Mrs. R. c. Whit
took.
The funeral services were held on
Monday afternoon, Reys. Wood, o
the Methodist Church, Moore, of tn,
Presbyterian and Wilkie, of the Epis
cOpal Church participating in the ser
vices, the interment being in tn,

THE chief event in the Senate Mon
day was the speech of Senator Hale,
of Maine, in vigorous opposition to
the Cuban resolutions and to the often
sive interference of the United States
in foreign questions. The Senator de-
clared that the spirit of militarism was
abroad in the land; that our course
involves the possibilities of war, with
all its dreadful consequences. A dra-
matte incident occurred when Mr.. Hale
offered to read the statement of Min
lister de LONE, of Spain, calling in
question the accuracy of some of the
statements made by Senators Sher-
man, Morgan and Lodge concerning
Spanish atrocities. Mr.. Davis, Of
Minnesota, quickly objected, and
Messrs. Mitchell, Morgan and Teller
added their protest in the same direc-
tion. The serenity of the debate was
restored by Mr. Davis's withdrawal of
his objection.

been placed on the list by Assessor
Allen on appeal day. The Clerk of the
Peace was instructed to place the
missing names upon the assessment
lists.
Assessor Allen, when called upon for
list of the missing names, denied
that he had any copy or record OF
them. Mr.. Green, elected as a Repub-
hcan member of the Levy Court from
SeafOrd hundred, had a list of the
missing names and offered it to the
Clerk of the Peace, who declined to
receive it on the ground that it was not
"official
The Levy Court met on Tuesday
last, but Clerk of the Peace Houston
i'll to attend. He was at his office the
day before, and apparently in excellent
health; but he was not present on
Wednesday nor on Thursday, and it
was presumed that his illness was
merely political, and that he did not
intend to appear before the Levy Court
at its present session, and not until the
disfranchisement of the So Republicans
from Seaford hundred was completed.
The law makes it the duty of the
L
court such men as shall appear before
that body to be assessed. Failing to
be assessed in the regular manner,
those from SeafOrd hundred could ap-
pear before the Levy Court and have
their names placed on the list at the
March session; but according to the
Democratic construction of the law no
one but the Clerk of the Peace can adj
minister the necessary oath to such
applicants for assessment. The Dep
uty Clerk is held by Democrats to be
incapable of administering such oath.
Under this desperate scheme for dis
franchising Republicans, the appeal
list being stolen, 63 citizens will be
deprived of their right to vote unless
the Clerk of the Peace graciously con-
descends to recover from his sudden
illness and appear before his servants,
the members of the Levy Court
There are other details of this we'll
planned political robbery of votes, but
the above outline gives most of the
essential facts. Those figuring in the
affair are nearly all identical with those
who cOnspired to steal two assessors
from the Republicans of Sussex county
a year ago, and who, but for the de
termined stand of Milford Republicans,
would have completed their attempted
theft of the assessor of Cedar Greek
hundred. The political outlaws that
figured III the one case are almost
identical with those who participated
in the other.

The session of the State Sunday
School Convention, held in Milford,
Thursday and Friday last, was one of
the most successful that has been held,
attended by over 200 delegates from all
parts of the State The best evidence
of success was not so much the enthu-
siasm of the delegates, but the interest
aroused in the community, us mani
tested in the overflow meetings. The
convention was held in the Presbyter-
ian chuch This was filled soon at the
morning session which meant that
many would be unable to get an en-
trance az the afternoon session. See
ing this, it was announced that the
Methodist church would be opened at
night, the same speakers addressing
both meetings, and this church was
likewise filled from the pulpit to the
doors. The same would have taken
place the second night if they had had
the speakers: as it was, an overflow
meeting filed the basement. A num-
Der Of subjects pertaining to the adj
vancement of Sunday School work
came under consideration, but not the
least Of benefits in such conventions is
the bringing widely scattered people
in social contact and welding together,
so TO speak, through the medium of
social intercourse, the hearts Of those
who are warm in the Masters service.

UNDER the head Of "More Political
Deviltry in Sussex" the Peuinsular
Ne,0s gives the following account of
how the Mandamus case before the
Kent County Court in '94 in the way
OF disfrsnchisement, has been varied
by the Levy Court methods in Sussex
county:
IN 1895 William Allen. assessor for
Seaford hundred, made returns of his
assessment to the Levy Court of
Sussex county. Such return was re-
ported lost in either the Office OF the
Clerk Of the Peace, or that Of the Levy
Court. From the political standpoint
of Democrats there appeared good rea-
sons for its Gloss, since a majority Of
the names upon il we're those of Re-
publieans.
On the first Tuesday in February
last the same assessor made his return
Tor the same hundred, and according
to custom it was filed in the office Of
the Clerk Of the Peace On thefollow-
ing Friday two leaves from this assess
ment were found to be missing. These
pages contained the names Of 5s Re
pnblicans and 3 Democrats which had

A New YORK paper has the follow
ing in reference to Cuba as affecting
our foreign relations and revenue
One thing is certain; if Congress is
going to pass any such resolutions re-
garding Cuba as it cOntemplates, the
same overwhelming majority of its
members must in decency and self re-
spect pass a revenue bill sufficient to
cover at least the ordinary expenses of
the Government. It would make mem
bers ridiculous to their constituents
and to all the world if they should fire
off strong resolutions regarding Span
ish treatment of Cubans, and then
should leave the Government without
revenue enough to meet its current ex-
penses in time of peace. What dis
grace would rest upon the men re-
spOnsible for that course if the Presi-
dent should cOntemptuOusly return
their resolution with the remark that
Congress either did not know what it
meant or did not mean what it said, or
It would have made provision for a
larger revenup and for borrowing on
less costly t. .l-e of necessity
If there ,..y a-, - uateyeT in pass
ing such resolutions as are proposed
it must be remembered that they
would be regarded by any foreign
Power as empty and meaningless, un-
less accompanied with legislation to
meet necessary expenses in peace and
something over for emergencies. If
Spanish statesmen are undisturbed,
they we'll may be so long as they see
Democrats and POpulists and Silver
men, who vote for strong foreign res
oiutions, at the same time voting
against any bill TO increase revenue.
Thereby they stamp their own resOlu-
tiOns, so far as they are concerned,
with the brand of insincerity and dem
agogism. The case is different with
the minority of Senators and the great
majority of Representative who sup,
ported a revenue bill, and they at least
have some right to be considered hon.
est if they favor foreign policy which
might involve increased expenditure.
But the resolutions can mean only
what the majority in both houses
mean, and the majority in the Senate
proves by its acts that thus far i
means nothing.
There ought to be an end OF the pre-
tence tkst the revenue suffices to cove
ordinary expenditures.
Smyrna times., 1896-03-11

The Baltimore .SUn thus refers to
Congress:
"The levity of the present Congress
III the treatment of grave public ques-
tiOns demands explanation. Its neg
lect of currency and banking reforms
and disregard of economy in the face
of monthly deficits are only less re-
markable than its readiness to rush
into war with any country, without
cause and without counting the cost.
The House is a trife more conservative
than the Senate, but both are, it seems,
capable of any kind of folly. Each
successive Congress for some years
past has been worse than its predeces-
sor, and makes a new record of fantas-
tic doings that alarm the business in
terests of the country"
