for the interest of the rich, the trusts
and monopolies and against every in
terest of the people. Each day this law
is in force will more clearly demon
strate this fact.-Seaford News.
Stop this patching of streets and
spending money each year on them;
pave them and no more patching Will
be required. The Dobbinsville road is
being patched up at present, but this
road is an exception; it is not main
street in the city, it connects a suburb
and the way Council is repairing it is
the best that could be done. Give us
good paved streets and we will have
more people come into our city and
they will take a good impression of us
away with them.-New Castle News.
Take Kent for instance. Who believes
/ that the four hundred and twenty ma
| jority of last year was any proper meas
ure of Republican strength? No more
was il than that of 1893 a test of Demo-
cratic strength when our ticket had 800
majority in the county. About two
| hundred gold Democrats in Kent last
year voted for Mckinley and most of
the purchasable vote went to the Re
publicans. These two facts alone more
than cover the Democratic loss. The
situation is altogether different this
year.-Kent News.
1t is the duty of the Democratic
party to see that the spirit of these new
laws is maintained and strictly car
ried out to the letter IL must be their
duty under no circumstances to offer a
reward of any kind whatsoever in the
way of bribery. It is the duty of Demo-
Gratis in defence of their doctrines,
which stand forth as the exponent of
freedom of speech, and of the press and
the right of every man to worship God
and vote his sentiments according to
the dictates of his own conscience

AS the Herald's rooster grows older
he begins to show marked evidence
that he is of the Silver Laced Wyan-
dctte strain of fowls. The Herald be-
lieves in the will of the majority,
rather than in having a will OF its own
and as the prospects are that the silver
element of the Democratic party is like
ly to outnumber the gold element dur
ing the next campaign, it is donning
the uniform of the silverites as rapidly
as possible Milford News and Adver-

An exchange says with f. e. Bach
on the harmony committee of one OF
the Republican factions, and J. Edward

faction, the prospects OF agreeing upon
plan of unity will be anything but as

O5 II anything ineligible can be ma,
,r out of Mr. Kenney's argument {
~, wheat and silver, it is about this: TIL
80 the price of wheat has gone up becau
II OF a short crop, and therefore the pri
O. of silver would go up because of a loI
or crop That If the silver in a dollar
3S now worth 43 cents, by opening d
o., mints Of the world and making twi
-, as many dollars, it would be worth
is cents. In o,her words, give us a shC
od crop of wheat and a long crop Of silv'
he and we should have high prices in bo
o. cases.-Milford Chronicle.
