POLITICAL NOTES.
The Empty State Treasury Has
Been Replentished - Getting
Economical-Dover to Have a
New Silver Weekly News Paper
Don't Known How to Run the
Crematory-Our Model Legis-
lature-Somebody Has a Snap
All Except the Lawyers Paid
in the Cheairs.Dickey Contest.
Now that the State Treasury has been
replenished by the addition of over $50 900
which has been turned In by Clerk of the
Peace Ford, the warrants are coming in
thousand dollars more will yet be needed
to pay all of the outstanding bills contract
ed by tho Legislature and the Constitu-
tional Convention.
GETTING ECONOMICAL
The Legislature Is beginning to get
economical, having in very decisive
salary of Deputy Attorney General for the
work that has to be performed. The
present deputy Mr.. Peter Cooper says the
present salary Is no pay at all But he
failed while down at Dover to convin CO
the members of the Legislature to his
way of thinking. The bill has been killed
beyond resurrection.
ANEW SILVER PAPER.
Representative Wilson gave notice on
Wednesday Of an act to incorporate the
corporators being Senator kenney, John
+. Salisbury, Representatives Robert II.
Wilson and James H. Hughes. The pur-
pose Is to publish free silver paper In
Dover. With two Democratic papers al
ready published at the Capital, being the
Delawarean and Index, there Is prospect
OF the the new silver organ making serious
inroads into their circulation. Senator
Kcnney and John +. Salisbury we under
stand will be given the editing OF tho
paper. John Salisbury was for sever.
al years editor of the Delawarean, VIII en-
he was succeeded by his nephew.
SIGNED THE WARRANTS.
Speaker Riggin of the House on Wednes.
day afternoon signed the warrants for the
allowances made in the Cheairs-DlCkey
contest. The lawyers refusing to accept
the amount the House thought they should
receive for their services will probably he
paid before the Legislature adJourns.
Said one of the attorneys who appeared
for Representative Cheairs, "The cast
cost me and my associate over SO out OF
our pockets before we had fairly got start
ed. Then a lawyers time is certainly
worth something" Why know Of attor-
neys charging the state over one thousand
dollars for not performing halfof the legal
work we did.
THE FAULT OF THE HELP.
Said we'll known ex-city official to the
writer of this column yesterday as he was
riding out home to dinner in an Eighth
street cur: "Who gives you your infurna-
tion about the crematory? 1t is incorrect.
The fault Is as much If not more, with
the men who are running the plant as
any radical fault Of the crelnatory. When
the Republican Board Of Health had
charge Of 1t less men were employed to
run It and more garbage disposed OF than
Mt any time since. Men to properly man
age the .crelnatory-sa and eco
nomicaily-should Inexperienced, not men
put there TO give them u job for the work
they, have done for the Democratic party.
There Is nothing the; matter, with the
present plant, If munagaa properly. But
you know 1t Is not every person who can

tory
Continuing he said L would take charge
of the city creinat0ry and run 1t at con-
siderable less expense than it is now oper-
ated and make money besides In dispos-
ing Of tho burned matter" We have no
personal knuwlcge of this capacity, or con-
dtiun of the crcmatory and give the tho
above Us told to us. The city Is about to
purchase new plant deeming the present
enc about TO collapse, besides requiring
several hundred dollars to put it in any
kind of repairs. A new cremat0ry Will
cost the city from $1,000 to $4,000 Bids
having been asked for the same, some
six bids have been received by the
Crematory Committee of City Council.
Tho city's finances arc not any larger than
they should be and the purchasing of II
new plant will make Il considerable hole
in them.
There have been charges made that the
Committee has been junkeJlng around
spending the tax payers money But such
Is not IL fact, The trip OF the Committee
to Trenton, N. j., and Camden, n. D., and
Washington, u. G., to view the crema-
tories in those elite. did not cost our city
one dollar The Committee visited tho
plants at the different places at the invi-
tatiOn Of the representatives OF the com.
panes' bidding, " no were desirlous that
the committee should see the kind of
plants they had submitted bids for.
NOW ITS KENT COUNTY.

taken out of the control of the Receiver of
Taxes and Democratic County Collectors

We don't believe in the old saying that to
