The people will have more to saw at
the coming nomination and election
than for years in the State of Della
ware. The new registration law is 90
ing to do away with the old time cheat
ing: Less names will appear ON the
registration books than ever. Out Of
1900 names only few over 5000
voted at the Mayors election in Will
mington, falling off of some 1000.
The present seasons output of but
ter is reported to have the smallest for
many years. The decreased make is
generally attributed to larger sales Of
cattle for beef, which has curtailed the
milk supply; but the hot weather has
been factor also in lessening the pro-
ductivity of dairies and increasing the
consumption of milk outside of the
creameries. Agricultural prosperity
IN the West has also caused larger
domestic consumption of butter.

Intermarried Citizens.

The prospectus sent out by
the Dawes Commission only
makes arrangements for enroll
ing the citizens by blood and
the freedmen. The clause of
the Curtis bill which especially
states that said commission is
authorized to make correct rolls
of the citizens by blood x x Z x x
with such intermarried white
persons as may be entitled to
Choctaw and Chickasaw cit
izenship under the treaties and
the laws of said tribes" is quo
ted in said prospectus only as
it applies to blood citizens and
freedmen.
This latter clause is left out
of printed notices of enrolment.
Whether this means that some
other method is to be taken Of
enrolling the intermarried cit
izens, or that they are to be ig-
norated in making up the roll
is a mooted question.
As the heads of the families
are expected to do the enrolling,
it follows that the family Of the
intermarried citizens must &C
unrepresented on the roll, un
less some other means are pro
vided for their enrolment. As
the wives and children of these
parties are blood citizens they
are entitled to enrolment, bu'
the responsible head of thu
family is notlncluded in the call
Will he be allowed to enroll th'
blood members of his family
though not asked to come ant
enroll himself!

at in all of this enrolment bus
