WHAT THE DELAWAREAN AND BAST-
BRN SHORE EDITORS ARE
THINKING OF.


OF William NJ Singerly. Not only be-
cause of the serious effect IL will have
upon our local industries, but also on
| the personal account of Mr. Singerly.
He has been a public benefac.or to Ce-
ell county, has spent his money freely,
establishing industries, operating ex-

Whilst it is the province of the press
| to fight wrongs and crimes wheresOever
they may be found and by whomsOever
they may be upheld it is by no means
their duty TO make indiscriminate
charges, nor should they make attacks
| against individuals without being pre-
/ pared TO prove their truth.--Delawaro
| Democrat.
The Every Evening says I, refuses to
believe that the Democracy Of Del
aware will endorse the Chicago plat
| form. When that paper realizes that IL
is a pretty good Republican organ, it
may yet find out that the Delaware De-
mocracy is not to be dictated to by o
paper that did what it could to defeat
the party In the last campaign .-Sus-
| sex journal.
Statesmen at Washington are devot-

| currency system, and each one feels
that he must press his own views on
the ubject.-Sussex Republican.

I will be made to have a new charter,
and what success will attend this en-

measures be considered in re-
lation to the benefit that will be de-

| The State Teachers Association will
ask the General Assembly for legisla-
ton looking to the establishment OF
county Libraries. The proposition is tC
allow the counties to vote on the Ques.
ton, and to secure from the state a do
nation to serve as the nucleus of the
library fund. The scheme is an excel
lent one, and will have considerable
support at Annapolis.-KentN News.
We have not felt called upon to state
