Shoe Factory.-It, when the wheels
begin to buzz, orders for goods come in
as last as applications for work do now,
the success of the enterprise is assured.
Manager Stocker has received applica-
tons for work from nearly 400 persons,
most OF them from this town. The fact
shows that there are a few people without
employment in this section. Only about
80 hands will be employed at first and
the number will be increased as business
increases and the help learn the trade.
The business viii be started in a conserv-
ative way. Ilthcre is such thing as
making a shoe factory pay in this section,
the managers OF this company are going
to do it, Work on the building pro-
crosses rapidly. The three stories are
now up, boarded and rooted. If you
want to see a lively crowd OF carpenters,
watch the force in the shoe factory drive
nails. The building may be ready for
the machinery the first or second week in
March.
BY the way, do we want another shoe
factory; There is a shoe and leather
company in Massachusetts which, on
account Of labor troubles. etc, will close
their business there the FIRST OF April.
Secretary Eldridge OF the Board OF Trade
recently received a letter from the com.
pany concerning moving the plant here.
They offer to furnish all the necessary
machinery and S. 600 in cash towards
the capital stock. a good salesman
woald also come with the company.
One.company may be enough but this
one would probably Manufacture differ
ent grade OF shoes and ihus the two
wouldn't BE- bunting against each other
The proposition may be worth little
discussion anyway. Secretary Edridge
has written the company Tor more inlor-
nation and the matter will be brought |
up later

The Burlington CoIlectorship. =

iuC SOIiCNtOi
States Attorney Taylor was in town
Monday doing little work in the inter-
est OF DIN Merrill, candidate for the col
lectorship at Burlington, the best federal
office in the state. Many of the citizens
had signed the petition OF Ex-Lieut. Gov
Man>ur of Island Pond candidate for
the same office, but this was before they
were July aware that Merrill was in the
field and a number have since xprtssed
preference for HIM ManSur's petition
went the rounds here some time ago and
he has been working for the office several
months, even before the election. Merrill
announced his candidacy but a short
time ago and IS now doing some lively
hustliug and intends to lead his COMPETE
tors, Mansur and Benedict, hot chase.
II the work he puts in tor himself now is
similar to that he put in for his party
during the last state campaign it will be
wise Tor his opponents to keep a very,
very sharp watch OF him. He is
worker from the word 90 and though he
is late in The race there is no telling W here
he may finish The strongest argument
brought to bear against Benedict and
Mansur is that they have fed at the pub
lie CRIB almost constantly for 80 years or
so, while Merrill has not been fatted that
way at all. All three are good men, have
done good work for the party and either
one would fill the office acceptabIy.
Merrill is emphatcaly the choice of
the younger element in the party,
who think that the old FOUNDERS
should retire short distance and give
them a crumb. The fight is an interest
ing one, with Mansur and Merrill doing
the work and Benedict taking things
quietly, watching the proceedings with
interest and chaps not over and above
particular whether the office comes his
way or not. But Mansur and Merrill
want il badly and intend to hustle for It.
The job is worth from $l5 goo to 500
600 year and is worth a litle hustling

DoDe1Ne BUT WEARY.

1--WE had thought the editor of the MID
DLErowN TRANSCRIPT suffering from a
''severe and long attacks Of Mollygrubs, "b9j
his wild and extravagant statements would
indicate that it is something good deal
worse. Andy Johnson way back yonder
could not understand proper diagno osis of
his case any more than the editor Of the
TRANSCRIPT"
Brother Hoffecker is the best dodger
for his age Of any man we know. He
lodges plain questions by factions re-
ference to a severe and alarming ill
ness. A serious case OF congestion
of the liver' confning to the bed for
two months starts his fancy as to the
"spleen" or the "mollygrub' whatever
they may mean. None of these things
rufie us only that it proves that
men who have gone wrong politi-
cally will resort to any thing as
means of escape.
This the "Smyrna Times" has re-
peadly and persistently done.
Fortunately physical diagnosis
of our casen has been properly made
by competent physician and the edi-
tor hears with thankful heart every
day; elbow much better you lookl
How you are improvingp
But political diagnosis has never
been attempted by competent men.
When it is made the TRANSCRIPT will
be found to be sound in true Republic
can principles. To answer a question,
serious to the party and practical in
politics, as the shines" answers above
-"wild and extravagant statements"
"a mere assertion, is the practice and
method of quack. The truth is, no
Addicks organ dare to repeat a state
ment or proposition or argument from
the Regulars" standpoint; by SO doing
he would give away his cause and en-
tighten his readers. We inYj'e the
"Times" 10 try it once.
We repeat our inquiry of last
week: "Should the Tote purchased las t
raIi Dy Mr. Aao .cks' money be included
IN tne Gnto'I Republican vote when the
relative strength of the vote by the
TWO f).ctions is considered?n
s'Are you not in favor of sending
Mr.. Addicks to represent Delaware in
the United States Seuate2"
Brother Hoffecker has not the cour-
age to repeat these two questions in
his paper, occupying only ten lines and
to answer them. He is dodger bs
cause be is politically wrong.

STATE Treasurer Ross is adyertisin g
for proposals for two hundred and
forty-five State Bonds of thousand
dollars each, or for loan of two hun
dred and forty-fve thousand dollars
to pay three per cent. inter
est. This is to pay the bonds of 1885,
S120, 900, and the bonds of 1891, $75,.
600. with an additional loan of $780,
900 to meet current expenses. An Of
these debts were created under DEM
ocratic administration and fearing to
increase taxation to pay them, resort
is had to a loan.
By The way, it is said the Democrat.
ic party of this State has never paid
any of the State debt created by it DUR
ing the war and gradually since; that
is, the amount OF debt his never been
materially decreased but has The rather
been increased. Is this statement cor
rect? We refer the question to our
Democratic contemporaries.
