parrlsaas DEFY tho Law.

Our Georgetown correspondence to-
day contains tho details OF the doings
OF the Addicks Republican majority in
the Sussex county Levy Court The
story is not pleasant one. 1t is re-
cital OF open defiance TO law, and 1t Is
likely that the superior court will he
called upon to compel these partisan
revolutionists to respect the laws OF the
State.
The situation in the Levy Court was
this: The member from Seaford hun.
drnh forfeited his ollice anu created
vacancy by removing to another hun.
dred. 1t was Just as though a Coun-
Gilman should move from ono ward 10
another in the city of Wilmington.
The very act OF changing residence
would forfeit his Office and nreate va
cuncy. The vacancy having thus been
created, it became the duty of the Gov
ernor TO fill it, which he did by ap.
pointing Willard II. Handy to the Office.
But when the court met, on Tuesday
weok, it refused 10 allow the name
Of iIundy to remain on the roll.hnok.
but instead continued on the roll the
name of the member from Seaford hun.
dred who had forfeited his office by re.
moving to North West Fork. This
gives the latter hundred two members
of the Levy Court, in plain contraven.
tion Of the law, and leaves Stafford
hundred without any representation
whatever.
The change in membership would not
haze changed the political complexion
Of the court, as the Ahdieks Republi.
cans would still have had seven mem,
bers tn six Democrats. Tho act, there
fore, was all the more bold and open,
and cannot I've excused on the ground oil
political expediency. To see law and
custom overru'ed in this arbitrary man.
ner is not pleasant in community like
this, and therefore the suggestion tc
appeal TO the courts for redress is right
and proper. The act should also anord

some soana Vows on silver.

Judge Nathaniel French, temporary
chairman of the Democratic State con-
yention which met at Des Moines on
August 18th and which declared for
"the honsst payment OF our debts" and
for "a sound and stable currency,
spoke in part as follows:
"Since Jaclsson's administration ana
through its act We have had the gold
standard, excepting only tho period OF
suspension of specie payments. Our
debts both public and private. have been
contracted on that basis, and common
honesty requires that they shall be re-
paid accordingly. The cry of the Chi
cage convention for the free and I'M
limited coinage Of silver at the false
ratio OF ~ TO attacks our existing
standard, threatens us with Wholesale
reputation, panic and ruin. This cry
is supported by the claim that the gov.
eminent is all powerful and by its mere
fat can double the value of silver and
make anu keep the silver dollar the
full squal of the gold. Some men hon
estly bolieve in tits miraculous power,
but what they really want is not free
coinage OF silver, but free coinage OF
paper.
Others favor this ratio as an easy
way OF paying debts. Others, made
desperate by present conditions, are
willing to risk any change, hoping for
better times. Ignorant of tho fact thBt
the present hard times are mainly due
to this agitation, they arc willing to
try bigger doso of the stuff which has
poisoned them. Others. whose main
object in life is to break into Office, re-
gard it as means of getting a public
job. Behind all these is tho greedy,
crafty coterie Of millionaire silver min,
owners, furnishing the funds and pull
ing the wires.

good and too scarce. They would maxi

According TO circular Just issued by
II. NJ. Neil, cotton statistirian, of
New Orleans, the cotton crop promise
of this year is equal TO any previous
years in every State but Texas, and on
the present acreage. even allowing that
Texas should fall short of her maximum
production by 1000, 600 bales, the out
look now is for crop of at least nine
ard three.quarter millions, with five
hundred thousand to one million moru
within tho range of gossibiliticH Tho
crop ia now so far advanced from recent
rains and heat that il will roach ma
turity and be- independent OF frost at
an unusually early date. Should we
soon have good rains in Texas her crop
also would be bsar perfection, and the
possibilities for the total crop would
thsn be something enormous" Thus

This is Not Wanamaker's
Store

In one sense-lt is the peoples
store, owned and managed by Mr..
Wanamaker, who only benefits him
self and partners through the bene-
fits secured by the store for the peo-
pie. Doing the best things in gath
ering merchandise at points of pro-
duction, economizing transporta-
ton and distribution, assuming re-
sponsibility in each transaction and
charging a uniformly low commits
sion for the service, insures mutual
benefits. The people are advantaged
and no one begrudges what the
agent gets for his risks and cares.
The principles laid down for the
business are sure to work out to the
good Of all concerned. Truly the
big stores get bigger because the
people flock to them for advantages
gained. And yet the smaller stores
increase in number by the trade of
their localities, as the lists of the
mercantile appraisers are said to
show. 1t must not be forgotten that
this business was like almost all
others-very small when il began.
Two thousand dollars would have
paid for all in that store. Little
stores as well as big ones can grow
and get better all the time. Why
not?
II may not be understood, but
nevertheless we put it on record as
our opinion that the people in city
or country shouldsupply their wants
at their neighborhood stores for
whatever they can buy Of them ad.
yantageously. Grateful to all who
show their preference for our store,
we shall be quite content to take
the leavlngs with such business as
would also come naturally TO US,
from being the first to show new
goods and new fashions and from
having classes Of goods never seen
elsewhere. There are also certain
special opportunities that come to
us to cheaper prices, as when we
assist manufacturers in perilous
conditions or supply them with
orders by which to give full employ
ment to working people in dull
| periods.
| The reason we send wagons ia
Atlantic City and elsewhere inrural
sections is because our customers
having bought goods Of US, we de.
| liver them by our own service al
