Governor Bradley. of Kentucky. in his
| message to the Legislature, adds to the
| evidence that the states of the Scuihara
steadily awakening to the detrimental
effect of the lynching industry upon a
commonwealth material progress. He
not only arraigns county officials for
failure to convict lynchers, but recon-
mends the death penalty in the jury's
discretiOn-fOr the attempt as well as
| for the deed which commonly leads to
| lynching. IL is not unlikely that the
Legislature will consent more readily
to this proposition than to any leglsla-
| tion holding counties financially re-
ponsible fer lynchings. Wilmington

The Golden Sun Of Prosperity has
arisen upon the farmers Of Sussex
The depression of the past has disap-
peared I'm farm values. During the
Cleveland administration and prior
farm lands that sold for S. to $40 per
arce are now selling at $3.50 to SO pen.
acrel Farmers are joyful and full Of
hope, and burning gages!-Dela-
ware Pilot.
IL Is certainly amusing to read theee
charges and cOunter-charges which
are hurled with all the venom known
to a journalist. Fraternity seems far
ther apart than ever, and when the
lion and the lamb lie down together"
will in all probability be during the
same epoch in which editors become
friends enough to praise one another
and find no fault-New Castle News.
II has been suggested that william
n. BOggs must have missed his boat"
II might be suggested that some OF the
newspapers that are trying to connect
several prominent men with this scan
dal, for the sake of sensational news,
have missed their high calling.-Sus-
sex Journal.

The town Of Smyrna some time ago
elected a partisan Council and recent
exposures are showing the effect OF H.
We trust no such effort will be made
here; but the people should be at the
election on Monday and If the effort ~
made should sit down Cn it heavily

Peter j. Ford, the well-known mo-
rocco manufactures, Of Wilmington, on
New Years day presented one hundred
policies for $1,000 each with the pre-
MUM paid up for one year. Peter J.
Ford is a Democrat, a gentleman and
a philanthrOpist. When a man has
these three qualities he Is the noblest
work of Cod in truth.-Milford Herald.
This brilliant victory made General
hs I,1 - Ia "a. a
the prestige of New Orleans with his
many other great qualities made him
twice president of the United States;
and some veteran Democrats are ac-
cused of voting for him yet-Seaford
News.
II the newspaper business is worth
anything II is worthy Of being done in
an equitable, business-like way and
with some sort OF system. A merchant
who charges one customer five dol
lars for an article and another six dol
lars for an exact duplicate cheats his
second customer cut Of a dollar, or
himself Of a dollar in the first sale and
he who pursues this method will lose
the confidence of his customers and his
business as well-State Sentinel.
The business men Of Wilmington
complain bitterly Of the want of PENN
sula patronage and call upon mer-
chants to stop over there instead of
making their purchases in the larger
cities. They seem. however, to at
tempt TO right the wrong in a peculiar
way. They are clamoring for custom
without letting the people know what
they have to sell, or where what the
people want may be bought
Money spent judiciously IN advertising
their goods in the Peninsula papers
would enlighten their wOuld-be patrons
upon these points and would make the
names of these firms as familiar as
household words to all.-Delaware
Democrat
The generosity shown by Peter J.
Ford, In giving insurance policies with
The premiums paid for one year to
one hundred of his employees. IS but
another illustration of that gentle
mans belief in doing good in the right

Let the General Assembly turn It's
back this week and al through the ses-
sion upon the lobby; let the people
hcnccfcrth elect members who cannot
be influenced by lobbyist. Get thou

s.a-e House habitucs for the next few
months Middletown Transcript.
The new railroad through Sussex
county is going to develop that part OF
the State as never before. II will give
to Sussex county two outlets for the
farmers produce and over competing
lines. 10 will give to the merchants two
markets in which to buy. The compe-
titiOn win reduce freight. and thereby
increase both the farmers and the mer-
chants profit. New energy will be
put into the populace and old Sussex
may soon be expected to thrive as new
er before.-Milford News and Adver-
tiser.
