CRUSADE AGAINST THIS SALOON.
The Salem County Temperance Al
lance has commenced a campaign
against the saloon and its evils, and
special committee with Rev. W. V.
Louderbough, of Salem, as Chairman,
is devising plans for a thorough tour
of the county, with able and eloquent
speakers in the crusade against the
liquor curse. Meetings have already
been held in Canton and Alloway, and
the pastors of the churches are en-
tering the movement with a determin
alton to win. -.Salem Sun6edm.

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge SO
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfils every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it or bad eff
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urinate.
The mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp-Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price so
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail Mention the SMYRNA

The SUGAR THRUST. Intelligence
comes from Washington, that the sugar
trust. is to resort to its old tacticts of
''holding up" the entire tariff bill, in
order to get through the schedule
whose favoritism to the sugar trust
has aroused so much popular indigna-
tion.
This may well lead to another Sena-
torial investigation and give rise to
scandal worse than that of 1894, but
that it can result in the adoption of the
outrageous sugar schedule now before
the Senate is not to be believed.
Exposure of its character has made
that schedule coming storm centre in
which the stand of every Senator will
be closely watched by the country.

NEW REPRESENTATION.

Dealing with the Legislature, the
convention abolished the county rep
resentation of three Senators and seven
Representatives and established dis
trict (hundred)' representation Of five
Senators and ten Representatives Civ
ing to Wilmington two Senators and
five Representatives. This will con-
stitute a Senate of seventeen Senators
as against nine now, and House of
thirty-five to twenty-one members.
The joint Assembly will have fifty
two votes and a majority for the election
of the United States Senator will be
twenty-seven, and not sixteen, as at
present A Lieutenant Governor,
elected by the people, is to preside
over the Senate, but he has no vote
except in a case of a tie. The Senate
is to elect president pro tenn. and the
House a Speaker. In the event that
either of the latter should be elevated
to the Governors Office, as he may be
by succession, his seat becomes vacant
and an election must be held for his
successor. The uncertain part which
"acting" Governor Watson played in
the Senatorial election of 1895 cannot
be repeated. Hitherto whichever
party carried county secured the en-
tire Legislative delegation of it. Here
after each township elects its own Rep
resentatives, and the next General As
sembly will be partically a stand-off.
The Democrats may secure a majority
of one in each county-that is, three in
the whole State. Minority representa-
tion is assured.
The innovations affecting the Legis-
lature, none of which are to be found
in the old instrument, are in brief as
following: The General Assembly
must sit at Dover; no bill or resolution
shall be passed, excepting for adjourn
ment, without the yea and nay vote,
which is to be recorded in each case;
the ordinary session, held biennially
and beginning on the first Tuesday Of
the January succeeding the election,
shall continue only sixty days, and
special sessions half as long, with COM
pensation fixed at So per day, and 81
per day for the Lieutenant Governor,
and the speaker; no bills shall be
'Ioaded" with an appropriation item
lotteries, pool-selling and all forms of
gambling are forbidden; no divorces
shall be granted; no special laws as tc
road, fences, bitches and school dis
tricts boundaries shall be passed
members must disclose their interest

the office as the Governor; the success
sion to the Governor is to the Lien
tenant Governor, to the Secretary of
State, to the Attorney General, to the
President, pro tenn, of the Senate.

NEW ELECTION PROVISIONS.

The provisions governing elections
are absolutely new aud sprung out of
the notorious conditions into which
popular suffrage has fallen through
half century of bribery capped with a
quarter century of prejudice and race
hatred. The convention was practi-
cally a unit in voting this reform,
but it is largely the handiwork of del
egate, now Judge Bradford, of the
United States Court of this district.
The foremost proviso is the trial of
bribery without the Intervention of
Grand or Petit Juries, and this gave
rise to the most notable debate of the
entire session. The Hon. William G.
Spruanee in opposing the unique pro-
position made most eloquent defense
of the time-honOred jury system and
it was many days before he surrend-
cred to the determination of the ma
jority, led by Mr.. Bradford, to sub
scribe toanything, however revolution
ary, so that it promised relief from the
curse of the Commonwealth. There is
an appeal from this trial to the Supreme
Court. The man convicted for bribery
is subject to Imprisonment ranging
from six months to five years and to a
fine from 500 to $4,000, and he shall be
disfranchrsed for ten years.
To-day this is the hope of the re-
demption of Delaware. In a trial for
this crime no man is exempted from tes-
tifying on the familiar principle that it
may incriminate him, but such evidence
shall not, thereafter, be used against
the witness.
The Second great reform in elections
is the abolition of the poll tax as n pre-
requisite of voting and the consequent
demolition of the dreadful machinery
of the Delaware tax office, which was
inaugurated in 1873 for the mainten-
ance; of the Bayard dynastry. There
were but three bourbon voices raised
in the convention in behalf of this in
stitution. In its place, however, has
been put the requirement of a dollar
registration fee which perpetuates the
idea that vote is something that
must be paid for. This fee may be paid
the days of registration, of which there
must be five and no man who is reg
istered can be denied his vote on the
day of elections. There is at last to be
an appeal from the arbitrary harass-
ments of the partizan registrars to any
Judge of the Supreme Court and even
to the Chancellor.
This is a prodigious gain for full
and fair vote in Delaware. After the
year 1900 the young voters must be
able to read the Constitution and to
write his name. Stealing elections by
partisan Returning Boards made up of
the inspectors of county who are pre-
sided over by the Sheriff and domi-
mated by a mob will be impossible,
since the returns shall be made to the
Prothonotary of the county, who
turns over the boxes and certificates to
the Superior Court of the county, and
two Judges shall sit in each county on
Thursday after the election and by the
help of the officers of the court "they
shall ascertain the result" They may
send for election officers and open bal
lot-boxes for the correction of obvious
mistakes or palpable frauds. There is
further provisions for contesting elect
ions before the courts.
