THE IEYIHSULA PEE}S

The citizens Cf Delaware have at last
been liberated from the tentacles of the
legislative octopus. which for the past
five months has held them so anxiously
ard firmly within its grasp. Through
out the entire three counties there was
feeling Of ennui at the seemingly
prolonged session, and it is with an
intense feeling of relief that the glad
some announcement has been made Of
It's adjournment sine die.-Milford
Chronicle.
A reasonable mind could hardly
have expected these legislators to draft
the bills necessitated by the new Con-
stitution; it was necessary. therefore
that attornays should be employed to
perform this task. For doing this, NO
Just blame can be visited. The first mis-
take was made, however, when the se-
lection of the attorneys was postponed
to this special session instead of hav-
ing been made last year.-Dover In

There had been a great scare "

Nothing was more needed thoroq

The use Of the balloon in warfare will

utilized to drop these explosives over

course there would be considerable risk
in such an enterprise, unless the bal

Maine, las divers sent by private per-
sons might be bribed to report at vari-

wen do something to the hull which

Ne Is Not Worrying and Says Bears should
Have q Chance.

nave n Chanco.
Chicago, Feb. l9.-colonel Joseph
Letter, with the magnanimity to be ex-
pected Of one who has achieved great
ness and who has had his early life
and youthful sayings published by en-
terprising journals. put himself on rec
ord as being possessed OF a large reser-
voir full OF the milk OF human kind
ncS:. re insists he is convinced II was
best that the wheat market decline.
FOR" said the governors aid-de-camp.
IF there were never declines there
would be nothing TO encourage the bears
and in short time we should have no
bears at all"
How about the report that you yes
terday sold 100000 bushels of wheatr
THAT Is a lie," came the emphatic
reply, "and. on the contrary, I bought
a little. To be sure. have wheat to
sell to exporters and millers, but yes
terday bought and didnt SELL"
Some of Colonel Letters rivals In the
brokers' offices seem to incline to the
belief that rumors of a corner in May
wheat are rather premature. Said one
veteran:
IT have never heard of a May corner
In the middle Of February. We can't
tell what will happen In three months"
This was repeated to Mr.. Letter, who
disclaimed all knowledge Of connection
Eith corner.
II am not trying to run corner and
] never have" he insisted, although
some folks seem to think / am"
After reiterating his often-expressed
opinion that man who tried to predict
the future prices of wheat was several
kinds of fool and attributed the lower
prices of the day to the fact that the
shorts had pretty well covered. the
colonel changed the subject to the Gu
ban war scare. but said nothing con-
cerning its probable influence on Board
OF Trade markets.
