The last issue of the Sentinel comes
to us with the salutatOry of the new
editor, John H. Bateman, and the val
edictory of the retiring editor, Geo.
W. Roberts. Mr.. Batemen is tren-
chant writer, and we could wish he had
ascended the tripod in the morning
rather than the evening of life.
He favOrs "a harmonious union Of
all the Republican element in the Stats
and n consolidation into one compact
body Of every man who is in favor of
the principles of the Republican party
and opposed to the principles of its Op-
ponents." While thus declaring for
cancellation further on he says, "we
have no use, no consideration for any
man who claims and owes allegiance to
the Republican party and at the
same time furnishes aid, comfort and
support to the Democrats or any OtheH
hostile political organization.
Mr.. Roberts, in his valedictory com
mending the new editor and prophesy
ing success, says:
There will be no more disfranchise
ment Of citizens by tax officers, and
registry boards; there will be no more
Suying Of votes; there will be no more
falsifying Of election returns; no more

THE position of the Republicans,
viz: the Regulars or Union Repub-
licans-which shall be in control or
get the offices-seems to be matter of
great interest to politicians at large.
The DeIdWaredn has ten editorial par
agraphs in reference to the two fac
tions in some phase, about their get
ting together, and the SUsser Journal
more definitely says:
A few days ago Mr.. Alice and Mr..
Smithers for the Addicksites sent a
communication to the chairman of the
Central Committee of the Regulars
favoring and asking that State primar.
les be held and a Convention be had
naming a new State Committee by
which both factions Of the party could
be united.
No one seems to know what has
caused the sudden slump of the Ad-
dicksites, unless they find that they
are to get no Office unless they get into
line with Dupont. At any rate they
are weakening from every side. There
are no plums for Addicksites from this
administration. They must recant
and bow down to DUPONT or their pO-
sitiOn will forever be nit. The Nc
Kinley administration through Mr.
Dupont is bent on smothering Ad
dicksism. The only hope is to pass
under the rod of DUPONT. And now
it looks as if Dupont would accomplish
his end.

In the absence of President John H.
Hofiecker, the meeting was called to
order on Friday night last with W. A.
FAIRIES as chairman pro tenn. All mem
bers were present with the exception
of A. Lee Cummins, James G. Robin
son and John H. Hoffecker.
Following bills were read and allowed
Vallee Bros, $434; Leonard Ellis,
$3.50; Washington Carbon Co., $35. 20;
Geo. W. Tilghman, $37.42. Total,
$S1. .4G.
DIR. Moore gave the first reading of
an amendmenttO the bicycle ordinance.
1t provides that all lamps be lighted at
sundOwn instead of cat dark" The
Doctor is endeavOring to have this
adopted to ward off those who take ad-
vantage of the meaning of the word
dark. By making it sundown the po-
liceman can understand it better and
make arrests accordingly.
On motion of DIR. Moore, another in
stalment of $500 was ordered drawn
in favor of the Hose Company.
Fl. S. Anthony announced that he
had been garnisheed in behalf of the
Town of Smyrna, for the balance of
of $1,000 and costs, owed by Supt, F.
l.. Wright to ex-Engineer Abel Taylor
as per judgement allowed him at a ref
cree trial before Esquire H. G.. Budd,
and which Wright refused to pay. The
matter was talked about at length.
Secretary Anthony stated that he
would appear before Esquire Budd and
make oath that the Town would owe
Supt. Wright $4,000 at the end of the
month, but how they were to get it, he
did not know. There is a way at it,
and it is likely special meeting will
be called and an order authorized to be
drawn in favor of Supt. Wright for the
month of July, minus the garnishees.
When the question of pavements was
brought up, Pavement-Inspector, r. l.
Cummins was charged with being in.
consistent. He has given in several
names for bad pavements and has dealt
out the 80 days limit to the first list
while at the same time hehas allowed his
own payment to go unfxed. The same
complaint was made to Councilman
Moore. Others who havenot complied
with the notice, which appeared on the
14th inst, are Il. J. Lambdin, agt.,
F. L. Wright, agt., Mrs. Sarah Baggi
and J. r. Wilson. The Council or
dered the work done by the Town i'm
mediately.
II. L. Cummins made complaint o.
the condition of the Bombay Hook
Railroad Crossing on north Main st.
and said it was in a miserable condi
ton not only for teams, but pedestrian
as well. He moved that Supt. f. p
Stacy, of the Baltimore & Delawar,
Bay r. r., be notified to have crossing
and side walk fixed within 30 days O.
the Town order rails and cross tie
taken up and street graded.
Council adjourned.

The editor Of the MiddletOwn Tran
script says he did not write a column
and a-half of space on the Senatorial
question, but did have that much
space filed on the subject, only using
half a column in editorial comment.
If that is the kind of construction he
puts on space devoted to a single sub
iect he is welcome TO it, but the fact OF
subject and space remains just the
same, and he wants us to take the
same method Of going through a cate
gorieal questioning and answering OH
a subject long since worn threadbare.
Among these is the statement that
Mr.. Addicks contributed money largely
to defeat Harry A. Richardson for
Governor in 1890. The TINES is mol
the sponsor for Mr.. Addicks in his
Senatorial aspirations any more thar
1t is for Mr.. Higgins, but this state
ment has been denied by Mr.. Addicks,
Mr.. Reynolds and Mr.. Wolcott, unit
denial seems a waste Of time and space
aud in bringing the charge forward
again for the hundredth time oui
friend has had time, if he so desired,
TO produce the proof. The other ques
tions about the Senatorship, the dele
terious course taken, &c, we're prop
srly treated at the time and it is en-.
tirely unnecessary for us to revamI
them again to the extent of a column
just to please Brother Downham.
The tender spot, however, with th,
editor in question, seems to be in ref
erence to the regular Republican can
didate for Governor, John H. Hof
fecker, and denies that it twas it
wont" to reflect on him. just hoy
the editor construes the word reflect
we do not know, but if the transcript
did not, issue after issue, do all j
could to minify and defeat him. thel

that he has had three cases of flux in

did what he could to defeat the State

FLocKING TO ADDIcKs. J. Edward
Addicks' who is at the head of the Yu-
kon- -Carbo-British Columbia Gold Min
ing aud developing Company, was in
the city Monday. He is so busy with
the details attendant upon the getting
ready for the next expedition, which
leaves in a short time, that he has little
leisure for his other business. Frank
w. Great, a young man who lives in
Claymont, Del, will tomorrow leave
for Alaska. He will join George b.
Kittinger in Seattle, and leave with q
party for Juneau. They will take with
them nine miners from California, a
pack train, and twenty Indian guides,
with provisions enough to last for two
years. Mr.. Addicks is in constant re-
ceipt of all kinds of propositions from
men who desire to go with any OF his
parties.

The question of returning prosperity
is an ever new one, however much it
may have been dwelt upon. A cOtem-
porary, in comparing it to the return
of business improvement on the resum-
tion of Specie Payment, says:
Prosperity is coming, as business
men believe who have been starting
more works for months past. So Oper-
ators in securities believe, who have
permitted no reaction worth the name
for two months. Large crops are sub
stantially assured, and these alone go
far to make large demand for manu-
factdred products from agricultural
States. Heavy exports are already so
far assured, in the judgement of exper-
fenced bankers, that exchange against
the future movement is freely drawn.
There is not a trace of reason to fear
monetary disturbancy for months to
come. In view of these prospects, III
which the most cautious business men
are constantly showing their confidence
it seems entirely lustifiable to expect
an expansion i'll business, in consump-
tion, and in such revenue as depends
upon the general prosperity. That in
crease may be greater than many i'm
agine, if the course of business only
answers fairly to the expectations
cherished.
''This period in every respect thus
far closely resembles the one of wait
ing, of slow recovery and then of won
derful progress which followed specie
resumption. The weary period of wait
ing for that event was most trying,
though slow improvement began in
1873 when success was guaranteed, but
some months before it actually came
as like improvement has appeared since
a change of tariff was assured. But
the increase in volume of payments
through clearing houses in 1879, com
pared with the previous year, rOst
month after month.
"Prices of all products rose ON thu
average nearly 30 per cent. from MAY
/, 1879, to January l, 1880, for the de
mand became so great that all thu
works in the country, though crowded
to their utmost, could not meet it.
''Nor was this expansion without
substantial reason. Enforced ecOnOm.
and business caution had denied tn
country for four full.years its natura
increase of business. The volume o
business was smaller in 1878 than
had been in 1874 or 1875. When recov
cry came it brought not merely tn
volume of business which had beel
done in previous times of prosperity
but the gain prOpOrtioned to growth i
population and productive power whic.
should have been realized in the year
of depression. Thus the volume of ex
changes through clearing houses out
side of New York in 1880 exceeded th
amount at the same cities in 1875 b!
$4,000, ZOO, ZOO, or about % per cent
while at New York the increase partl
due to speculation was 70 per cent.
"Some idea of what the normal in
crease may be in the volume of bus
ness can be gained from census return
which show from 1880 to 1890 an il
crease in manufacturing production {
69.37 per cent. Notwithstanding til
fact that prices of all commodities ha
declined 2443 per cent. in the te
years, so that at the values of Januar
1880, the increase in ten years wOul
have been 124. 12 per cent.

SEVEN Steamers sailed for Europe
Saturday with a large number of pas
sengers. Steamship agents, however,
admit that the volumne of ocean traffic
is less this year than last, but do not
attribute this to the higher rates Of
fare, but to the prolonged business
depression. The net returns to the
companies are probably better than or
as good as last year, for, though fewer
passengers have been carried, better
rates have been obtained from those
who have travelled.
