Do the people of Delaware wish to be

Do the people Of Delaware wish to be
deprived of the privilege on election
day Of selecting their own election Of
ficersp The elections in Delaware have
been unusually fair compared with
those elsewhere-not speaking of as
sessment and tax receipt qualifications.
This has been due more to local selec-
tion Of election Offices than to anything
else. 1t is stated that Mr.. Whiteman's
bill provides for Commission to name
these officers, non-partisan or bi-parti-
san. This means the naming of weak
and perhaps corrupt election officers of
the minority, it matters not who the
Commissioners may be. The most un-
scrupulous politicians will attend to
that part of the business. That has
been the history of such commissioners.
No, Mr.. Whiteman, we do not want
local selection Of election officers to be
changed. It promotes honest elections;
1t is local government; it is demcratlc.
Remember If you force commission
upon the peopleit may survive to annoy
Its present promoters.

WAR RIMMINENr.


The war clouds are apparently gath
ering. The President sent to Congress
on Monday the report upon The Maine
explosion, the investigation, being un-
able to fix the responsibility. The con-
clusions of the court are as follows:
In the opinion of the court this effect
1.-THE condition of the wreckage) could have
been produced only by the explosion Of q
mine situated under the bottom of the ship
at about frame 1s, and somewhat on the
port side of the ship.
The court finds that the loss of the Maine,
on the occasion named, was not in any re-
spect due to fault or negligence on the part
of any Of the officers or members of the
crew of said vessel.
In the opinion of the court the Maine
was destroyed by the explosion of a sub
marine mine, which caused the partial ex-
plosion of two of her forward magazines.
The court has been unable to obtain evi-
dence fixing the responsibility for the de-
struction of the Maine upon any person or
persons.
The report together with the starv-
ing conditions of the Cubans has
aroused Congress and warlike resolu-
tions have been discussed this week in
both Houses of Congress. The Sena-
tors and Representatives have proven
more radical than the President evi
IDENTIFY expected, and the less excitable
have had all they could do to hold Con-
gress down. There is cause for feeling
but we believe President Mckinley is
right in his efforts to try to solve the
difficulties without war. War is
terrible; war is destruction; war is
death. The bravest men dread war,
while demagogues may howl for war
to tickle the ears OF their constituency.
Mckinley and his Cabinet are acting
wisely:
President Mckinley has demanded
the cessation of hostilities in Cuba and
virtually her independence. The
answer Of Spain is evasive. She seeks
more time. The temper of Congress is
for action. Diplomatic settlement
looks less possible to-day than ever be-
fore. 1t may, be that '..war is inevi-
table" If it be so, every American
will exclaim in the language OF the
patriotic Patrick Henry, "Let it
come"

Wilmington Conference OF the M. q
Church adjourned on Monday. A very
pleasant session was held at Lewes. The
Conference goes to Cambridge next year,
The appointments which are given below
were made by Bishop Newman, the re-
quests Of the several churches being mostly
granted. Pocomoke City rebelled against
Mr.. Valiant and the bishop yielded grant
ing their requests But the new eldersl
They are known as "Wilsonites," and three
of the elders of the bishops cabinet had no
intimation of the intentions to name
Messrs. Watt and Baker. The latter was
the cause of much content ton year ago
when he was proposed as elder of Salisbury
District. The two brothers of Elder Cork
ran were sent to the appointments vacated
by the new elders.
The latest protest is from Laurel where
the brother of Presiding Elder Cockrsn is
refused. The officials say no more Wilson
and Corkran rule.

is done, as 1t is understood has been prac-
tically decided, it is probable that the
Council will reserve to itself the right TO
pass Judgment upon the official acts of
the tax assessors and reverse or amend
their decisions if it sees fit. There mas been
considerable complaining because Coun-
ell has been unable to give any redress
when citizens have believed themselves
WrOnged by acts of the board OF assessors.
The necessity of having a board OF as
SCISSORS is said to have been insisted upon
by members of the present administration
who were present at the conference and
to have been recognized by others, who are
acquainted with the duties of such Of
ticials.

It seems 10 be accepted as a foregone

fed that the trend of opinion among those
at the head of the Liberal Club is largely
this way and it would not be surprising
if something definite was done on this
line. 1t would not only be popular but
1t would be a movement in the right di-
rection that no one could reasonably pro-
test against"
Many of those who have been promi-
nent in the work of the Liberal Club
are understood to entertain these opinions.
On the other side of the political divide
there is said to be a strong sentiment run
ming similarly, although in the absence
of organization it might be late in find
ing expression. Among the great mass
of citizens, who do not join clubs and
who are not in politics for office or Offices
for their friends, a white primary would
unquestionably command large support.
Municipal politics are not apt to open
up for the next four weeks, but after
that ii is to be expected That the matter
of white primary viii be given serious
consideration, with a fair prospect of some
proposition on this line resulting there
from.

city elected by Council, and that their
successors will be elected by the present
board 1t Is worrying the incumbents,
and some of their friends as to what the
result will be in either event
While all of the officials now under the
commissions have made staunch friends
among the Liberalites in the past two
years, and have even gained supporters In
he adermanic body, 1t is not believed
that they have made enough Roadway to
absolutely insure their reelection by the
present administration. The friends OF
Chief McDermott would make a stiff fight
to keep him at the head of the police de-
partment, and il is thought by many
that he is the only one who would stand
a good show of being retained if the pres
ent Council elects the chief for the next
two years.

office viii be abolished, but it is the I'M
Outstanding that Council will create an
officer subject entirely to 1t known as the
superintendent of streets and lanes. While
Commissioner Willink stands very well
with the board, or the majority of the
members, it may be considered extremely
douht fuI if he could secure an election at
its hands.
Supt Lotion of the water works is an
other official, who by his affablity and
capacity mas made many friends among
his former opponents, and there are many
who intimate that he would be formula
bic candidate for his present office. Chief
Mcguire of the fire department would
doubtless stand little show, owing to the
difficulties which have marked the past
two years. AS for the smaller fry, the
foremen, clerks, etc, there would no doubt
be many applicants for each of their
places with good political claims for con-
| sheraton.

Notwithstanding THIS fact there are many

means of carrying between four and five
hundred intelligent, progressive Americans

city Treasurer Issuing Them On
Drnyton street Property Owners.
The city is issuing executions against
the Drayton street property owners, who
have not paid the paving bills sent out
Sept. l for the work recently done on that
street. The executions will be turned over
to Marshal Power by City Treasurer Har-
dee tomorrow or next day.
1t is stated about third OF the property
owners have failed to pay the bills, and,
according to the rule, the executions issue
after thirty days. There is a fee of 81 at
tached 70 this, but 1t goes to the city and
not to the marshal, as has been supposed.
Marshal Power gets nothing additional for
this service, though il is quite tedious and
requires considerable trouble before the
amounts due the city are collected.
AS soon as the executions reach him,
Marshal Power will send notices to the
debtors. asking them to settle by given
time, or their property will be levied upon
and sold. Before the law is carried out 10

every effort to collect the claims. He says

property owners have already settled, as
stated, and have, therefore, saved the fee

what effect the notices have.
