PROTEST From L,soors STREET
Attorneys for Property Owners Ask Street
and sewer nepMrIIn for pamnrca.

attorneys Tor frnptrty OWnors ASK street
and sewer peparrmsnt for Damagcs.
At the regular meeting Of the board
of directors of the Street and Sewer
Department on Tuesday the following
letter from liotfecker & Hoffecker,
attorneys, wassread:
1--WE represent certain property own
ers on the east side of Lincoln street
between Eleventh and Twelfth, whose
properties have been left in d very un-
satisfactory condition owing to the
change of grade in that street and
block. The houses Of our clients we're
originally built upon lines and grades
officially given. The change in grade
resulting from the present alteration
in the street leaves all of these proper
ties in a condition more or less mac
cessible. Several Of them can only be
approached by a stairway at sharp
incline cut through the bank uron
which they are left standing. The
waste water and gaspipe connections
will all have to be changed. Our
clients maintain that their properties
respectively have been damaged by the
changes in grade, and demand damages
of an amount sufficient to enable them
to put their properties, respectively, in
as good and acceptable condition as
they were before the alterations in this
street were attempted.
"We will be pleased to hear your
reply. The near approach of tho win
ter suggests the advisability and in
fact, necessity, of prompt action on the
part of some one to put these proper
ties in tenantable condition. /"
President Pratt of the board direc-
ted Secretary Wiley to inform the at
torneys that the streets are being put
into good shape, but II tho property own
ers are not satisfied and will call the
attention of the board to any detail, it
will try to adjust it.

.plnsrse Gardens" in Denver.

In the September issue of Municipal
Affairs Martha A. b. Conino in the
roarse of paper on ''Women's Work
in Denver" writes entertainingly of
the "Pingree Garden" experiment in,
that city. Denver, she says, being a
young city with widely extended area
has, in consequence, large tracts of I'M
occupied ground. The conversion of
many Of these vacant lots from fields Of
hourishing noxious woods into we'll
kept vegetable gardens, is an improve
ment even from the artistic point of
view. And the material and moral
benefit which the city has received by
converting dependent and indolent
class, into self-respecting industrious
citizens, is incalculable. This work
has been under the immediate super
vision of Mrs. Fred Butler. Nearly
every morning during the past three
seasons, she has mounted her wheel
and covered ten or fifteen miles in over
seeing the labors of the "Pingrees"
before returning to lunch.
Seventy gardens have been cultivated
during the present season. The use of
the lots is donated by their owners.
The county authorities pay for the
blowing and provide the tools and a
superintendent. The Charity Organi
cation furnishes the seeds, and the city
the water, which is quito an important
factor owing to the fact that in Colo
RADIO agriculture is carried on only by
irrigation. For the last six months
these seventy gardens have provided a
livelihood for no less than sixty five
families, or the very considerable mum.
Der of three hundred and ninety per.
sons; and before the season closes q
supply will have been stored ava,
sufficient for winter use, and a surplu.
exchanged for other necessities.

The sussex County Democratic Ticket.

The ticket nominated by the Demo-
Gratis of Sussex county, particularly
with respect to the legislative branch,
is acknowledged to be the bost offered
to the voters of that county by any
party in score of years. 1t is, with
two exceptions, the Sussex journal of
Georgetown says, ga farmers aud bust
ness mans ticket and ''the two doc
tors on the ticket are sons of farmers. !"
And it can with force be added, that
1t is most emphatically not an Addicks
ticket. In the same line of argument,
the journal further says:
We do not propose to sling mud in
this campaign, but the contrast in SO
striking, in comparing the personnel
of the two tickets of this county, Demo-
cratic and Republican, that ono cannot
help noting the difference in passing,
The Democratic ticket has no name in
its list that does not challenge tho
respect Of every voter of this county,
the more so since every man seems
especially fitted for the office to which
he is nominated. In more than one
instance the same cannot be said of the
Republican ticket, especially of the
Legislative part, where it is known that
the men do not own themselves but are
pledged in advance to Addicks and Ad-
dicksism. The AddiclSs party this
week tried to pledge the Legislative
candidates in New Castle county, but
it does not seem that they have sue
ceeded. But here in Sussex the Ad-
dicksites made sure of their men and
the Regulars shamefully surrendered.
Ii voters will vote for men as well as
principle, then there is only one ticket
to vote and that is the straight Demo
cratic ticket.
There can be no doubt of it. And
what the Journal says with respect to
Sussex county is equally true with
respect to Kent and New Castle. In
Kent county, the Democrats have
named the best legislative ticket the
voters ever had offered for their con.
sideration. In New Castle county, the
Democratic legislative ticket, with ont
exception, is practically beyond crit
cism, from personal and politica
point Of view.
The issue of Addicksism confronts
the people of Delaware at the coming
election more forcibly than itever die
before The election of Republican
Legislature will be equivalent tx
electing Mr. j. Edward Addicks to the
United States Senate, TO succeed Georg'
Gray. The way to defeat Mr.. Addiclli
is to defeat the Republican nominees
for the General Assembly.

The ralIacy of tho single rnr.

The. Milford News and Advertiser
hits the nail on the head in the follow
ing editorial;
Single Tax means that all the taxes
shall be levied on land only. All cor
porations, merchants, bankers, rail
roads, hotels, liquor dealers and every
thing of the kind shall pay no tax.
The greatest source would be cut off !;
and the land would be burdened with
all taxations to such an extent as to
destroy its commercial value. With
the commercial value of land destroyed,
no one could buy farm, build house,
or purchase any property unless he has
the money to pay down the full
amount, for the reason that his prop
erty would be worthless as collateral
security. The poor man who should
want to purchase a farm and want to
make improvements thereon, would find
himself without credit or means. The
poor man who wanted to build himself
home for his family, could not go
TO the building loan for the money to
make the purchase-th doors would be
closed against him. Where could he
go? His farm or his house would have
no commercial value and he could go
no farther in buying and making i'm
prevents than his means would allow
him.
The small property the work
ingman who has earned fec simple in
his home, can readily see how he would
be robbed of the fruits of all his years
of honest toll and frugal saving by the
operations Of the Single Tax. The
landlord would not be the only loser by
the Single Tax policy of land confisca.
ton. The workingmar who permits
himself to be deluded with this Wild
and baseless vagary is simply sharpen
ing the blade that will cut his owr
throat.

It is not the intention OF this Govern

Party.

Within the next two weeks it is ex-
0ected that President Mckinley will an
.nnnce who will be The next postmaster
il the city OF Wilmington to succeed the
present incumbent, Enoch Moore, Demo-
crat.
The term of Postmaster Moore expires
with the beginning of next month, and
speculation is rife in Republican ranks
as to who will be the successful aspiranC.
One year ago there was at least ten
gentlemen in the tie d for the position,
but now it has narrowed down to Wash
ington Hastings. William II. Pearson,
Peter B. Ayres, and Or. Evan &. Short
lidge.
.he fight at present appears to be be-
tween Mr.. Hastings and Dr. Shortlidge,
but who will succeed in falling heir TO
the plum which PAYS about 81, 500 year
is Il matter OF conjecture.
The friends Of these two gentlemen are
working hard for the appointment of
their respective candidates and from in
dicatons at this time Mr.. Hastings
appears to have Il shade the better in
the contest.
All this, however. will be settled in
the time specified and then only will
the supporters of the two persons named
give up the fight
For successor to tie office of United
States District Attorney to snccced Lewis
C. Nandegritt, Esd, there are only two
anxious ior the position.
These gentlemen are Hugh G. Browne,
Esq charm an Of tie State Republican
committee, and Michael I. Byrne, Esq.
Both have q host III friends backing
them. but Mr.. Browne, it is contended,
litts the inside track as fur as can be as
crltalned.
This appointment, however. which is
also a Presidential one, may not be made
for some time, as when the term OF Mr..
Nandegrift expired on March 2S. he was
reappointed in order to allow him to
conduct the cases against William N.
Boggs, Cal. Ezekiel T. Cooper and the
other Iooters pi tie First National Bank
Of Bower
When these are completed it is eX-
ppcted that Mr.. Nandegrift will resign
and the President will make his appoint
mpnt, and this will, it is said, fall on the
shoulders OF Mr.. Browne.
There is very little interest as yet dis
played in the coming fall election and
but a very few persons have announced
themselves in Republican ranks for the
respective offices.
In the Democratic circles there ap-
pcals to prevail a general feeling OF
apathy. as the split between the gold and
silver factions caused by the recent sena-
toriaI election has not yet been healed
nor is it likely to be for vt least the next
few years. -.
No one has as yet announced himself
to be a sacrifice for the good OF the
Democratic party, but it is fully ex-
pected that " hen the time arrives two
tickets will be placed i'll The field and
again the supporters Of the ticket will
lead another forlorn hope.
