THINKING OF.

EASTERN SHORE EDITORS ARE
THINKING OF.
No extra session of the Legislature is
lieeusu' OF desired. The impression
has been sent out that the Union Re
puDilcdns want an extra session to dis
pose OF their case in Kent county. They
do not want it, for the very excellent
reason, that 1t is not necessary-as the
new Constitution gives ample authority
Tor the court to act in the case. The
paragraphs touching this point are
clear and give full power whenever the
Superior Court will take It up.-Milford

that the building is now in need of ex-
tensive repairs The several new
school houses erected by the Board of
Education are a credit to that body
and the city of Wilmington. They have

We congratulate the county upon the
fact that the last of the $4,000 worth
of bonds issued i'm 1887 for the purpose
