Maryland deplores the death of one
OF her most promising men; Cecil
county deeply laments the taking away
Of an ornament to the bar, a beloved
public man; and Elkton, where he was
best known, universally mourns the de-
parture Of Senator Charles Carroll
Crothers.-Elkton Appeal
The new criminal court to meet at
Dover on the 25th of this month, is
styled simply the Court Of General Ses-
sions, and 'of the Peace and Jail Deliv-
cry are omitted but the delivery will
probably be there just the same.-Dover

Are the Republicans Of Delaware
ready to admit that government of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie, has been tried and found wanting
and that they stand ready and willing
to allow an oligarchy to take its place?
II not, chen the rule of the majority
must be maintained, whether the foes
of this fundamental principle are
found within or without the state.-Mil-
ford Chronicle.
The editor of the Transcript is bad
enough when wen as an an Addicks-
phobist, (and we hope he will soon re,
cover his wonted health), but when his
condition requires a sub, we suggest
II be not an unconscionable quill driver,
who is an adept in chicanery. II might
also be said that busy people, editors
as well as others, haven't time to wade
through a three-column editorial from
such source.-Smyrna Times.
This terrible race track evil Yet the
Republicans had the opportunity in the
last Legislature to Danish IT, Did they
do it? Certainly not. Then in all fair
ness give the Democrats a chance. Turn
about is fair play, and the Democrats
cannot serve You worse than the Re-
publieans did.-Cecil Democrat.
The Union Republicans may hold
their state convention and pass resolu-
tons to their hearts content, but It will
not affect the present condition of al
fairs one jot or title. Their leaders
may do their best to bolster up an un-
worthy cause, but the organization
founded thereon will not prosper and
is sure to fall because of the rottenness
of its foundation.-Sus Republican.
II the Union Republican party is sin
cere in its declaration it is going to
work In the wrong way The sentiment
of the rank and file of both Republican
organizations is in favor of a reunited
party, but there are a few leaders who
do not recognize the wishes Of their
party associates. The Union Republi-
can party can never expect to bring
about a harmony of action under an
unfair and unjust system of represen-
tation in party conventions, nor by as
suming TO dictate the entire policy OF
party management under the new con-
ditions that have been created.-Morn-
ing News.
The Wilmington Star says II is evil
dent the Single Takers are animated by
religious feelings, while the News says
they are windlords. Settle it among
yourselves, gentlemen. In the mean
time, we confess regretfully that we feel
much as did the little boy whose mother
put on his pantalOOns wrong side fore
most. The perplexed youngster did not
know which way to face.-Justice.
The Board of Trade has taken firm
hold of the project to raise a fund fol
the purchase of a silver service for the
gunbOat Wilmington, and authorized {
committee TO secure subscriptions. The
efforts of the committee should be cor.
daily sutained by our people. II was {
J great compliment to Wilmington tC
have this vessel named in its honor
and our people can make no more fit
ting recognition than by contributing
to the fund for the purchase of the sill
yer service.-Every Evening.
We are pleased to see that the reve
nue. collectors lately appointed by tn
president have interpreted the civi
service as 1t should be under a Republi
can administration. Keep the goo,
work up and turn the Democrats ou
and put Republicans in who voted for
, change Now all the Delaware Repub
licans ask is that Mr. Wells be removes
and a Delawarean given his place. TIL
office surely belongs to our people
The new marshal could as consistentl
' be made from Maryland. Why not
! Turn the Democrats cut Of every Fed
D eral position. That is what the Demo
Gratis have always practiced.-Daily Re
o publican.
