THINKING OF.

The one CLEAN of sunshine through
the gloom is that the Single Tax move
ment has progressed too far to be de-
pendent for it's future upon one man.
Though it was not fated that Henry
George SHOULD live to see the adoption
of the principle to which he devoted his
life yet it was his peculiar privilege to-
invest his followers with his own spirit
of self-sacrifice, and he leaves a host OF
devoted adherents, who will carry the
banner he raised on to victory.-Jus--
tice.
The sending of numerous tramps
over to New Castle Jail who are caught
on the p, W. & b. railroad, outside the
city limits, is an imposition on the tax
payers of New Castle county. The mag
istrates should see that these buns are
given to understand that they can have
their freedom If they leave the state and
pass on to where they come from or fol-
low the regular lunch route and free
transportation for the regular knights
OF the road.-Daily Republican.

of the state that there are any who are
L willing to advertise themselves as the
blind followers of the Claymont gas
man.-Seaford News.

When journalists OF reputation
