THE PENINSULA PRESS
WHAT THE DELAWARE AND EAST

THINKING OF.


If Kent county desires to adhere to
the present Levy Court system of gov
ernment, we'll and good. But no at
tempt to make the system even more
cumbersome than at present should be
ed-Milford Chronicle.
The judiciary should certainly re-
ceive an adequate compensation for
their work, and we think the salaries
as fixed at $500 for the chief justice
and chancellor and SO 500 for the asso-
ciates is fair and just compensation.
The House, after considerable discus
sion, fixed these amounts and certain
ly 1t should stand by that action

1t would be in every respect as logi-
cal and as simple to establish a Levy
Court of five members as one of ten
members. There are five senatorial dis
trlcts established by the Constitution
in Kent county. IL would be iustas easy
to elect a Levy Court commissioner
from each senatorial district IS to elect
one from each representative district.

an OPPOSITION CANDIDATE
SILVER MEN PUT UP HAUGHEY
AGAINST THOMAS 7 WEDDIN.

AGAINST THOMAS 7 WEDDIN.
At a meeting of the free silver Demo-
Gratis last night, Peter j. Haughey, of
Christiana hundred, was nominated for
stake senator in opposition to Thomas
T. Weldin, who was chosen by the
county committee. Among the leaders
OF the meeting was b. Lundy Kent, the
personal friend of William j. Bryan
In a platform issued the free silver
men declare that the candidate chosen
by the county committee was sup
porter of Palmer and Buclner and an
advocate Of the gold standard. John p.
Donahoe refused to run against Mr..
Weldin
This morning the Democratic League
met and sent out circulars denOuncing
Mr.. Weldin as a Palmer and Buckner
man and calling upon all Democrats 10
support Mr.. Haughey.
The Prohibition County Committee
has decided to place Richard W. Barr
in nomination for state senator at the
election next Monday to sfll the va
cancy caused by the death Of Senator
Handy.

trict Committee will meet at the NC

ouR MISREPRESENTATION.

Thomas r. Weldin, Of Brandywine
hundred, Is the regular Democratic
nominee for state senator. He has
been placedln nomination by theDemo-
cratic County Executive Committee,
and Is entitled to every Democratic
vote cast on Monday. His Democracy
is unquestioned by those who know
him; no one can truthfully impugn his
standing as a citizen of this state, and
there should be no question Of his cleo
tion.
New Castle county is the richest and
most populous section Of the state. Its
Interests are much greater than those
of Kent and Sussex counties combined.
H. furnishes to the state about three
fourths OF the revenue required to
maintain the state government, and
the two lower counties furnish the
one-fourth jointly With these facts
known and freely acknowledged, our
county has in the General Assembly at
the present time less than one-third Of
the full representation, and our inter
ests are in the hands Of men who live
in the other counties.
The present session is engaged in a
work in which New Castle county is
more vitally interested than either or
both Of the other counties. The gem
eral revision Of the laws will affect
Wilmington and New Castle county
mere closely and completely than it
will either Kent or Sussex county. For
this reason our county should have its
full representation in both houses, and
there is ample justification for the spe-
clal election on Monday.
Those persons who object to such
election on the ground of its expense
must not forget that there is a costly
sort Of economy at times. We have
grossly inadequate representation with
our full delegations in attendance, and
in such a small body, so composed, one
vote more or less means a great deal
to the public interest. New Castle
county should never be left with a
broken delegation in the State Senate,
which consists Of but nine members
three from each county. Therefore il
is highly desirable that the regular
Democratic nominee be elected OF
Monday.

MUNKACSY'S COLOSSAL PICTURES.
CHRIST BEFORE PLATE AND
CHRIST ON CALVARY ON EXHI-
BITION IN PHILADELPHIA.


The citizens of Philadelphia are at
last to have the long-desired oppor-
tunity of viewing the two world-re-
nowned paintings by the great Hun
garian artist, Munkacsy-"C Christ Be
fore PLATE" and Christ on Calvary. -
These wonderful pictures until seven
years ago were on exhibition in near
ly all the principal cities of Europe,
and in twenty-one cities and towns in
the United States.
The Christ Before PLATE" was fin
ished in 1881, and the Christ on Cal
vary" in 1884, the former being consid-
cred Munkacsy's masterpiece.
1t is believed that the Baron de Mum
kacsy is at this time hopelessly i'll and
that his brush has most likely given
to the world its last picture.
Munkacsy has not only painted the
bodies of men, but their souls. the
best proof of this being that the pic
lures need no explanation. they tell
their own story for the thoughts of the
varied characters are visibly read in
their marvelOusly expressive faces.
The fascination Of these pictures is
such that one may see them q hun.
dred times and find fresh interest in
every visit.
1t is a matter Of public interest that
after the private views being given
this week to the press and the clergy
men Of Philadelphia and vicinity. the
Cuban sufferers, through the Red
Cross Society, are to be recipients OF
the proceeds of the exhibition for the
fortnight beginning Tuesday, 22d in.
