ItSall he . glpylous copsummation when
every qusstion sllall be 'settlsd by arbitra-
ton. There should DO an International
Congress competent to settle all disputes
between the different nations ofthe earth.
Inthat case armies could be .disbanded,
fleets disman tied and forts kept ungarri-
soned. The money saved by such o course
could be more profitably expended in
making good roads, digging canals, i'm :
proving rivers and harbors and avenues
OF trade. The condition Of the great mass
of people would be greatly improved and
all would DO rendered wiser and better.
Nearly all the different nations of the
Garth arc ground down by taxation In con-
sequence of standing armies and the con-
tlnued preparation for wars that should
never occur. Their disarmament would
be like ushering in the millennium. The
arbitration plan should be adopted us
speedily as possible and the experiment OF
ruling through peaceful methods given a
fair trial. Education is calculated to
work wonders, and certainly men arc not
SO perverso but that the great majority
may be ruled through kindness more eff
foctually than through fear. Thepla for
peace is not SO utopian that we cannot
give it a fair trial and thus present bea'
con light for all other nations to follow.
If the scheme Of arbitration shall prove
abortive, we can at least pray FOR the COM
ing of the day when men shall beat their
swords into plowshares and their spears
into pruning hooks and learn war no
more.

GEORGETOWN, Del, Feb 4-Up to last
Monday night we had several days of ex
cellent sleighing, there being about eight
inches of snow. On Monday night o
heavy rain storm set in and for forty eight
hours we had rain, sleet, snow and fierce
winds ending with about two inches Of
snow and again the Jingle Of sleigh bells
are heard on our streets.
The Levy Court met on Tuesday and
organized by electing Charles H. Sackett,
Republican, of Cedar Creek hundred,
president and j. Francis Bacon, Esq,
attorney.
The present Levy Court is composed Of
eight Republicans and five Democrats, and
for the first time, with one single excep-
tion, the Republicans have control in this
county. They enter upon their duties
with o legacy handed down to them In
the shape of a county debt, amounting to
nearly $4,000 the result Of Democratic
mismanagement
The new President Mr.. Sacket Is a well
to do farmer residing on fine farm about
mile and half east Of Lincoln City.
He Is cultured, live business man, was
member of the Legislature in 1889, is a
hold over member Of the present Levy
Court and Is in every way qualified to fill
the responsible position to which he has
been chosen.
All good men are down on the Demo
cratic steal in Kent County and it is the
general opinion that the leaders Of that
party in their over-reaching rascality have
dug their own political graves and that
for years to come this will be Republic
can state.
The Republicans Of this county now
have the machinery pretty we'll in their
own hands and II not legislated out Of
existence by the present bogus Legisla-
ture. will continue in power for many
years to come. With fair and full vote
thousand Republican majority in this
county.

WE heartily endorse the Legislature
granting all they can towards the main
tenance Of the Delaware State Hospital at
Farnhurst. 1t Is a State institution and
Ia conducted as economically as possible.
II has duty to perform to those of our
citizens whom misfortune has overtaken
and life should be made as pleasant as
possible for them, with reasonable hope
Of once more enabling them to realize the
benefits Of this beautiful world that God
has seen ct to place us in to work out his
mysteries. By all means don't be mig
gardly with the Trustees, who are trying
10 conduct this Institution as it should be.
DR.. Black who is PIesiden. Of the Trus-
tees, having this humane work in hand, is
surely endorsement enough that he with
his fellow co-workers, would not for one
minute ask the Legislature for one penny
more than was really necessary to carry
on their work as it should be, with credit
10 themselves and the State We don't
shink ono penny would be thrown away
by entrusting 1t in the hands Of the men
who are managing this Institution. Every
Delawarean should certainly feel proud of
pur only State Institution.

THE BURGLAR

The Burglar which comes to the
Opera House next Wednesday night is by
Augusta Thomas, author of Alabama"
and eInbodies some Of the ideas contained
ia his sketch, "Editha's Burglar" which
was founded on Mrs. L. Hodgsun Burnrtts
C. arming story, and was played by f. H.
Sothcrn and Elsie Leslie. In the play,
the burglar is a man who has seen better
days instead Of having been brought up in
the business, MS was Mrs. Burnett. and
the IillIe girl who discovers him is his own
child. This changes the scene, which
suggests the sketch, from one of simple
comedy and pathus, to strong meiO-
dramatic situation. The story which in
Produces the burglar incident, is well
brought out in the first two acts, and is
skillfully worked up to II strong climax in
the fourth, so that while the original
sketch is only recalled by the reproduction
Of some of the lines, the auditor has before
HIM mplo-dramatic composition Of merit
whose only lault considered rs Il melo-
dramatic composition is certain re-
dundancy Of incident

Tho Board of Trade is not composed of
local optionists and last night at the
regular meeting of the body the president
was instructed to appoints committee Of
three to 60 before the Constitutional Con-
vention and take with them the disap-
proval of Wilmington's business men Of
any Constitutional proposition that would
prevent the manufacture of beer in this
city 1t is the opinion of the members
that such law would be detrimental to
the interests of the city and State and
every influence will be brought to bear
against the proposed measure.
The matter was brought abont by a
communication from representatives of
the Diamond State Brewing Company,
Hartman a. Fehrenbach Company and
John Lenglo which called attention to
the fact that three of the citys lar.
gest interest would be crippled. The
plants represent millions Of dollars. 1t
was further stated that the sale Of liquor
would not be stopped but Wilmington
firms would simply be stopped from man
ufacturing beer.
After tho paper was read j. G. Hartman,
offered resolutions setting forth that the
Wilmington Board of Trade believed that
II such clause were put In tho const1tu-
ton it would be detrimental to the bust
hess and moral interests Of the State. Up.
on the motion Of Daniel W. Taylor the
resolution was adopted. Before the vote
was taken Mr.. Taylor and Josiah Marvel
spoke in favor of the adoption Of the reso-
luton. There was not dissenting vote.
On the motion of Mr.. Marvel the presi-
dent was instructed to appoint commit
tee of three to present tho views Of the
board to the Constitutional Convention.
A report from the Committee appointed
to look into the advisbility of establishing
II Real Estate Title Insurance company
favored the proposition and motion that
the board Use its influence in establishing
such company was carried.
The board will try TO have clause put
in the new city charter providing that the
city can appropriate money to the board

ONE half of the world don't know how
The other half lives and apparently they
don't care; for II they did, some of the
present laws on our statutes would never
have been placed there. Every two years
there are laws and laws to pass, undoing
often what was done the two years pro-
yious. Even then, what does all this law
making really amount to? 1t sometimes
seems that our legislators had lost all
sense Of fairness and honesty. Nothing
Is accomplished unless it is done for par-
tisan purposes. All sense is lost that they
were elected to represent the people. They
become partisans of the worst kind and
vie with one another to see how little they
can do while the Legislature is in session
They have a good time go to bed when
they please and arise at late hour in the
morning, with a good sized head on them,
from sampling some finc, old and rare
whiskey to which some men, interested
in a particular bill before the Legislature
had set them up. Still there are men who
are willing and anxious to serve the peo'
pie at Dover as Legislators. Why shoult
they object?

THE dissolvine and retiring from bust
ness of Mcbride and Carter, who for years
carried on the coppersmith business on
East Second street near French, where it
was established over 40 years ago by the
Heislers, is bad sign for the industries of
our city. The business which at ono time
was very lucrative one. dwindled away,
until for the last two years it was not
worth calling business. The partners
still held on, hoping for better times, but
at last came to the conclusion that they
had better wind up their business anu
quit which they have done. Numerous
ether firms in our city have suffered the
same as Mcbride & Carter, who arc hold
