No enc seems to know what has
caused the sudden slump of the Ad-
dicksites. unless they find that they are
to get no offices unless they get into
line with DUPONT. At any rate they are
weakening from every side. There are
no plums for Addicksites from this ad-
ministration. They must recant and
bow down to Dupont or their position
will forever be nit.-Sussex Journal
Single Takers are engaged in the edu-
cation OF the public conscience and are
fully aware that this is not rapid work
The growth is solid and enduring. To
change the Constitution at the appro-
pirate time will not be a mighty task
Gags may be placed, and gags may be
removed-Jusice.
City Council was enabled to elect
standing committees last night, Coun
Gilman O'Neil having been conciliated
by the other six Democratic members
yielding to him and giving him the
committee assignments that he edemand
ed. He is now chairman of the Public
Buildings and Law Committees, and
member of the Committees on Bonds,
Election and Engrossment. This ought
to be distinction enough to crafty his
ambition to the fullest extent-Every
Evening.
The fellow who is whipped is always
the one to cry enough. IL must so
pretty hard with the once boastful
Union Republican leaders to humble
themselves before the proud regulars
and beg for peace.-Dover Delawarean.
Another thing is likely to cause great
uneasiness, the silver element is talking
of forming a party of their own, in
spite of the fact that CeciPs Democrats
In county convention last year declared
for tho gold standard and honest
money. 1t really looks as though there
were breakers ahead for our Democratic
friends, especially in the First and Sec
ond districts-Elkton Appeal.
II The Sussex Republican is to hold
the post of grand arbiter of the Repub-
lican forces, there will not be many
bowlsful of harmony served up in the
camp of that party for some time to
come-Dover Index.
II was a funny proceeding for the
chairman OF the Republican State Cen
tral Committee to call the committee
together for the purpose Of submitting
his declinadon of the nomination for
register of wills. Then when the COM
mittee assembled at his call he declined
to decline.-Cecil Democrat.
We regret exceedingly that the editor
of the Chronicle should so far forget
the instincts of a gentleman and the
courtesy of newspaper etiquette, as to
make a personal attack upon the editor
of this paper. Personal abuse is not ar
gument. nor does the calling of a man
liar make him one. The resort to
such argument, is an acknowledgement
of the weakness of the cause advocated
and an exhibiion of the real calibre of
the writer.-Sussex Republican.
General James H. Wilson will prob
ably receive the appointment as minis
ter to Russia, which was the price OF
his treason to Republican principles
Milford Chronicle.
The citizens of Milford would gladly
hail a return of the industry of ship
building of wooden vessels. II was an
era of prosperity which meant much to
Milford, and its return would be gladly
Welcomed Milford Herald.
The law which requires a property
qualification from every member of
City Council never intended that a
memLer of that body should hold the
position for four years and never, in
that time have piece of realty record
ed in the office of deeds and records en-
! tered upon its hooks, or even assessed
to the individual who claimed to hold a
deed for piece of property which to all
intents and purposes he did not own or
did not expect to own.-Daily Republi-
can.
