The stepping down and out Of tho Oil
vet Presbyterian Church, Of its former
pastor, the Rev, L. E. Montgomery, whose
congregation has been in a turmoil for
several months, happily ends all the diff
ferences between pastor and congregation.
There is no doubt it is for the best interest
Of any church aud its pastor, that when
differences arise, such AS have taken place
in Ollvet Church. the pastor should seek
another Held to labor in. His usefulness
for good is gone in that particular church
and instead of building 1t up, he may DO
the innocent means Of tearing it down.

our Legislature you can get n certificate

gets obstreperous or cranky. He may
have been stretching it little, but there
Is no denying the fact that divorces arc too
easily granted In Delaware. Senator
Handy has PECULIARLY remarked that he
was afraid to leave Dover, for when he
returned. he might have been divorced in
his absence without him knowing any
thing about it. There is no doubt but it
is better for many married, i'll mated cou.

Relating to Libelous Publication.


The bill offered In the Legislature by
Representative Short relating to libelous
publications is intended to place muzzls
on the press Of Delaware. The purport
Of the bill Is that no newspaper should
publish any article rejecting upon the
character of any person until it has posi-
tive proof that he is guilty of the allega.
tions made. No honest man would ever
have drafted such bill. The press is
careful not to go out Of the way and libel
persons when they know what the conse.
quences will be, Every item of news
published Is verified whenever it is posi-.
BILE to do SO. This bill will only work an
unnecessary hardship upon the editors
and would not result in any benefit to the
public, but rather u detriment. No hon
est man fears the press, because it has no
terrors for him. any more than the police
or the police station have for him. Such
bill is only intended to protect roguos
and work hardship upon the newspapers.
No honest man fears just criticism of
bis official acts, rather he courts scrutiny
of them. The bill should receive no mora
consideration from the General Assembly
than did the Pyle Police Commission bill
which was knocked out in the first round
in the House yesterday. For strike" leg.
islation this Legislature takes the cake.

go down there to 'sweep the Spaniards from

less the collectors percentage
A long debate arose over the pay
ment OF the CALLING annual appropria-
tion Of 5000 TO the road commissioners
as required by legislative enactment.
The granting of a hold-over order to
che road commissioners was opposed
by Messrs Pagan and Harrington ON
the ground that ii was eXtorti0n to pay
5000 annually from the city treasury to
the New Castle hundred road commits
sioners. When the Legislature passed
the act permitting New Castles city col
lect0r to gather all the road taxes
within it's limits. it was not proposed
TO hold the city liable for any pay
ment TO the road commissioners. AS
All AllN iUdN ldAta naNt not itNn tOl-
lected, but some are returned as errors,
it is thought especial extortion to
charge full appropriation damages"
The whole debate ended i'm a resolu-
tion to appoint a committee to confer
with City Solicitor Cooper and prepare
@ new act eXempting the city from the
payment Of the $500
The order for this years appropria-
tion was passed.
Talk on the citys organic law arose
over the subject of a new city charter
brought up by Mr. Schuhardt, and there
was a decided difference of opinion on
any procedure looking toward a new
/ city charter, as there is no money to
/ spend at this time. President Nor
rison stated that the only advantage a
new charter had was to allow the new
| street railway company to cross at
grade the steam railroad crossings in
town. Before he voted to put $500
more in the pockets of rich men he
would vote it away as a charity fund
/ for bread and shoes TO the suffering i'm
