EASTERN SHORE ERITORS ARE
THINKING OF.

EASTERN SHORE ERITORS ARE
THINKING OF.
We need not stigmatize before
Americans the attack upon a mans
nationality as impertinent and cow
ardly. Nor make any reference to the
language he uses. How far the man
thinks he is wronged, God only knows.
But it our duty to say that we cannot
get along in our work for the public
with mischief makers Milford.

The new Constitution has been
printed in pamphlet form for the peo-
pie to read and consider. We have read
1t, and while there are parts which do
not meet with our approval, yet we
know the impossibility OF framing
Constitution which would be endorsed
by all. AS a whole the new Constitu-
tion is a great improvement over the
present.-Milford Chronicle.
Peaceful and grand in death the
form of Henry l.. Hynson was laid at
rest In Odd Fellows Cemetery Monday
at noon. Oppressed by the mystery OF
death, saddened by the departure into
the grave, many fearful eyes followed
the casket covered by tributes OF love-

Representative Wilson, of Kent coun-
| ty, is altogether too sensitive, and this
is surprising when il is remembered
that when he took his seat under very
peculiar circumstances there was no
evidence of sensitiveness on his part.
| Mr.. Wilson, we understand, is ordi-
narily a pretty bright sort of a man,
but yesterday he made an exhibition Of
himself to be regretted by him to-day.
He took serious exceptions to an edi-
torial which appeared in an afternoon
paper in this city and wished it to be
kept out OF the House from this date
on.-'Morning News.
The bill to tax investments that was
passed by the General Assembly this
week was good one for them to con-
| sign to the tomb of the Capulets. 1t is
to be hoped that reconsideration OF
the vote may be had and the hasty
legislation corrected-Delaware Demo-
crat.
To accept Single Tax nomination
would mean to one of these young law
yers the almost complete loss of caste.
For the lawyers caste in this city is
like that of the Brahmans. The elders
who control the machine, called the
bar, have the professional life of the
young lawyer practically in their
hands.-Justice.
Hon. Thomas f. Bayard has return
ed to hissnative state after having made
a brilliant record as ambassador to the
Court of st. James. Mr.. Bayard has
been censured by the Republican press
because he sought to create the best OF
good feeling between the two countries
The distinguished gentleman now re-
tires from active participation in poll
tics, but his wise counsels will still be
sought for.-Delaware Ledger.
The last race meeting held at Elkton
capped the climax. No matter how dis.
reputable the others might have been
the one which closed on Wednesday
was even more lawless, the whole bust
ness from first to last simply disgusting

The county so long disgraced by th'

The Committee OF Public Safety hai
e passed some more race track resolutions

I The Senate, by narrow margin, ha
passed the House bill for the taxation
of investments in this state. There i
e possibility that the vote may be re
y d-reconsiderations are quit
= popular at Dover-but If not, there
, every reason to believe that the Legis
-. lature of 1897 has added another mis-
take to the mountain OF blunders tha
r already marks its record.-Every Even

The delegates to the Legislature froI
s Cecil will surely see to il that the pee

sentsd on this race track question 4

e The general sentiment of the peopl
n Of Sussex sustains the action of III
o convention. 1t is pleasing to note ths
n with this exception the work OF tn

lican, and it will agree TO the distri'
system as esented.-Delaware ilot.
The House, by a vote of II to 10, "a
L defeated the bill creating a railroa
a commission. The bill in its amendo
ir form left little but the commission an
- the salaries of the commissioners. W
4 believe that this was a wise action an
~ in the interest of economy. That Il
De railroads have in some instances bee
at guilty Of discrimination and excessiN
ne charges we have little doubt, but we b.
IN lieve that the proposed bill would hay
been abortive and would have fall6
far short Of its pretended purpose.-D

I'll 1t is a pity that provision cannot
er made to pension every aspirant for p
ng sition in cur state, without taxing q
re great mass of the people to death. Cor
~ missions may serve some good purpos
but it seems to us tnat the people ha'
~ to pay roundly for all that they get o
ey of them. Our lawmakers seem to
es, hand in hand with seekers after D
sh spoils.-Daily Republican.
