The mud swopping" season has
again opened. The jetty upon the New
Jersey shore is getting in its work
slowly but surely. A bar Of mud has
been forming in mid-channel opposite
the city for some time, and has shall
lowed the water to such an extent that
vessels run hard aground, where they
never grounded before. 1t is under
stood the mud dug from this bar will
be hauled up the river this time, as
turn about is fair play.-New Castle

John Edward Addicks is a carpet
bagger and represents nothing but ne

If men who were personal friends Of
Boggs and were misled by his crooked
ways are guilty, surely President II. A.
Richardson and the board OF directors
are criminally guilty. They were neg

Anyone who has kept up with the
evidence in the Kenney case, can but
believe that the prosecution had utterly
failed to make out a case. The wonder
is that the district attorney who must
have known the weakness OF his case,
would have allowed any information to
90 to the grand jury. taking into con-
sideration that his star witness was a
confessed thief and a perjurer.-Sus-
sex Journal.
If the Regulars do not intend to sur
render, why don't they seek the benefit
of an early start by holding their con-
ventiOn before that of the Unions? In
this way the Regulars could make
theirs the first Republican ticket in
the field Just as the Unions did two
years ago.-Dover Delawarean.
We are in favor OF harmony and
unity il ii can be had by the dropping
OF one man from power, and we will
labor in earnest with all our strength
for the ticket made by a convention
where there is harmony instead of dis
cord. We recognize the fact that the
Republican strength is mainly in the
county Of New Castle, and with enough
in both other counties to make success
certain.-Milford News and Advertiser
