EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION.

Why not have this provision in the
Constitutional? In this enlightened
age, with all the advantages of educa-
tiOn which our public school system
affords, there is no reason why every
man who arrives at the age of twenty
one years should not be able to read
and write. When a person can read
he is in a position whereby he can ac-
quaint himself thoroughly with issues
presented to him for his decision, and
is certainly better able to form an
opinion and to Judge for himself what
is for his best interest and of the many
of which he is part. We are reaping
the result of an ignorant electorate,
and the condition of affairs political de-
mands a remedy, and this would in
connection with just and equitable
laws go a great ways toward affOrding
a remedy for existing evils.
There is nothing unjust about it. 1t
would of course, only apply to the
future voters, and would not therefore
disfranchise any one or deprive any
person now entitled to that right.
Delaware should be in the front rank
of States and must not neglect any
needed reforms. We hope it will re-
ceive the consideration of the Conven-
tion.-SUSSeC Republican.

The Tribune Almanac.

To attempt to present to the reader
an idea of the contents of The Tribune
Almanac for 1897 is as difficult as to
enumerate all the topics of general in
terest the American people talked
about in 1896 and are going to talk
about in 1897. What is it that yon may
wish to know in political or statisti-
cal way? In some shape or other you
will find it in this admirable and accu-
rate compendium of facts, politics and
figures. There are certain standard
tables of latest statistics and election
returns which everyone expects in an
almanac. The Tribune Almanac has
them all, and, in addition, a variety of
concise statements, summing up the
past years history in important mat
ters, such as the story of the Venezue-
Ian dispute, the Cuban Revolution,
President Clevelands bond issues, the
censure of Mr.. Bayard, and so on. For
accuracy, completeness and thorough
comprehension of what the American
people need in the way of data for
ready reference, The Tribune Almanac
has always been standard and has no
superior. Price, 25 cents copy.

An Opinion Held by John M. Clayton.

In a long article on the Senatorial
situation in this State, contributed by
Judge George P. Fisher, to his paper,
the Milford Heralt, of this week, are
found the following paragraphs in con-
clusiOn. Judge Fisher was a student
in law under John NJ. Clayton, and his
confidential friend.
'"The writer, when in 1888 he first
entered the Office of John NJ. Clayton
to study law, had placed in his hands
by Mr.. G. for his first reading the
Constitution of the State of Delaware;
this was carefullypursued by him andhe
well remembers the talk he had with
his preceptor in regard to Article III,
Sections and IA, which was closed by
Mr.. John M. Clayton saying that the
Constitution, in case of the Governors
death, resignation, etc., simply lifted
the speaker of the Senate out of his
Senatorial chair and seated him in that
of the Executive, there to remain till
Governor elected by the people shall be
sworn in.
'"Hhus we find the words, used in the
Constitution plain and unambiguous,
and that they were so regarded by its
trainers and that in the only two in
stances prior to Governor Watson's
term with the doctrine that no person
can hold any other Office in our State
or exercise any other, so long as he ex-
ercises the Office of Governor. Such
being the case we can come to no other
conclusion than that Governor Wat
son had no right to sit as Speaker or
Senator in the joint meeting at which
Mr.. du Pont was elected, and that his
vote ought not to have been counted
and that therefore there being but 80
lawful votes cast at that joint meeting
and du Pont having received Is of
them, was elected and rightfully is a
Senator from the State of Delaware. "

times suffers with muscular rheuma-
tism, and while having one of the most
painful attacks, he called in w. 7. j.

advised him to try Chamberlain Pain
Balm, he did so, and it gave him i'm
mediate relief. Pain Balm is also rec
ommended for rheumatism by Mr.. E.
w. Wheeler of Luther's Mills, Pa. who
has used it and found it to be an excel
lent remedy. If troubled with rheu-
matism give it trial. 1t is certain to
relieve the pain as soon as applied, and
its continued use will effect cure.

Collisions Bill.

The late John W. Hall retired from

and died in January, 1892, but Thurs
day the General Assembly was asked
to pay bill of expenses incurred by
Harry A. Collision who was quarter
master under Governor Hall. The
amount is given as $457.57. The fact
that the bill was not presented until
fourteen years after the quartermaster
ceased to hold his position should be
cause for the delay in making the de-
mand.

An advance guard of shirt waists in
washable goods, is the sure indication
of hosts that are to follow. ConYen-
ience has carried the day and indepen-
dent waists in both high and low de-
gree, will be prominent in summer
dress. 1t is true that gowns entirely
in one material are more strictly sty-
llsh, but few women: none perhaps,
can resist the temptation of modes
which are eminently practical and be-
coming as we'll. Shirt waists no ex-
hibition, do not differ markedly from
those of last season, except in the cut
of the sleeves. New ones while re-
tanning considerable fullness at the top,
are shaped in towards the cuff: many
show successive narrow tucks running
lengthwise to the elbow, by which Of
course they are rendered close fitting
and 1t will therefore be be easy to alter
the bishop sleeves of last season ac-
cordingly. The pretty style of drap-
ing chiffon over satin or silk, continues
popular and a cOrsage of pink silk
worn by the daughter of a leading
physician, is now made again by an
application of Ivory soap and a yelling
of white chiffon. The last is placed,
not for the purpose of concealing
blemishes, for they all disappeared.
but to the end of apparent change in
material. Among
NEW FABRICS,
thin ecru linen traversed by colored
satin brocaded stripes, is prominent:
less expensive limitations are in cotton
varied by lace stripes and both ideas
appear in plaids. Snowy grenadines
are rendered novel by fiat, oblong
beads woven in and thus they remain
firm as part of the material they orna-
ment. Stamped stamines displaying
lovely floral patterns in captivating in
distinctness, are likewise noteworthy
among new spring fabrics and all these
goods are intended to be worn over
Innings, the more expensive over taf-
feta silk and the cheaper over lawn.
Taffeta silk for dresses, still leads,
yet India silks are show in so many
varieties shown in SO many varieties
and at such attractive prices, that while
hardly stylish, they will find pur
chasers.
