Paying Taxes Before Voting.
CITIZENS.

The Town election in Dover seems
TO settle the matter of voting in the fu-
ture IN this State that every voter
must pay his tax in person, father
not being able to pay for his son. The
Sentinel, after comparing the tactics to
that used on the late returning day
says: "A large number of Republi-
cans were challenged on the ground
that their taxes were not paid bv them
selves Ill person, or to the tax collector
IN person; at least one such vote as the
latter was rejected who had paid his
tax to an assistant employed by the
collector, in the collectors presence.
the collector in person giving the
receipt"
The hdcr in discussing this election
SAID: While no money was used, or Of
fered, for the purchase of votes, it was
claimed that taxes had been paid bv
Others than the party holding the tax
receipt, and thus interpreting two pro-
visions of the Constitution, father
who is real estate owner, who paid
the tax of his son, was disqualified
from voting, as we'll as the son, who
had not paid his tax in person.
While this is the law for all mu-
nicipal elections in the State, it is also
the law for all State elections.
1t is reported to us upon good au-
thority that the judges of election at
Dover made what to us seems rather
rank decisions and rulings, inasmuch
as a man who had worked on the road,
and had paid his tax and secured his
receipt, was also disqualified from vot-
ing. We say seriously, is it not almost
time for affiliations, to stop and ex-
claim: "Where are we?"
The following is from the Dover
correspondent of the Wilmington SIM:
James L. WOlcott, the eminent attor-
ney for the Delaware Democracy.
stated to John P. Hudson the opinion
that the cOlOred men undoubtedly had
the right to vote and that in refusing
to accept their ballots the election Of
ticers erred. Mr.. WolcOtt took the
stand that the colOred men were duly
and apparently legally qualified to vote
and that the question as to who paid
their taxes, whel or where they were
paid, was a matter for subsequent in
vestigatiOns and litigation. That they
had the right to vote cannot he com
batted successfully.

A Complaint From Citiz

For the Smyrna Times
A Complaint From Citizens near CheswOld
The neighborhOod comprising the
section of country from Bethel NJ. Z.
church to Smyrna has been noted for
thirty years, or more, as a peace-lOv-
ing, self-respecting, law-abiding com
munity, properly regarding the good
of each other and the general character
of all, until, few years ago, an en-
terprising, respectable (?) young man
settled down i'll our midst on fruit
farm, and, not content with the re-
turns from this fruit, began to turn his
surplus berries and grapes into fer
mented wine, to which has been ap-
piled the epithets 'Mocker, " "Sum of
all V1llanies," Child of the Devil" and
many others of an uncomplimentary
character. If any one Lying in this
community has heretofore questioned
the adaptability of the above names to
wine, we think, after the experience of
the last two years, he will conclude
they lack fOrceful expression, and
stronger terms are wanted.
The following are some of the fruits
of this avaricious or devilish traffic IN
augurated by this young man: Brawls
and fights in the streets of Cheswold,
disturbances on the road and passing
Bethel church on Sundays; yelling by
a crowd of half-drunken youths, of 1G
to IL years old, around No. School as
they were making their way back to
Smyrna after filling up on his wine, to
say nothing of family troubles and the
anxiety of parents concerning their
sons.
Only yesterday Sunday on our way
to church we overlook five men, some
OF them very youthful in appearance,
all drunk, one of the crowd with an
open razor in his hand, cursing and
swearing at the others and so obstruct
ing the roadside that we were hustled
into the wheelrut to get past him.
Some Of the others were equally bois-
ferrous and profane, but made no dis
play Of weapons.
If this man has no self respect or re-
gard for the good of others, or com
Functions of conscience sufficient to
compel him to stop his traffic, we can
assure him he has the Indignation of
an outraged community, increasing as
such scenes as that at school No. 4 and
on the road near Bethel church null
tiply.

mentwhich has Of late been proclaimed
IN Cnba. Thereal motive was the fear
that the new commercial treaty for
the island, which delegates of the Au-
tonlmlst Cuban Cabinet were to assist
III negotiating at Washington, would
make such concessions to the United
States as would put an end to the Span
lsh monopoly of the Cuban import
trade. The dread of losing the inor-
dlnate profits accruing from this sourse
explains the attitudes of the Spanish
merchants, and it was easy for them to
intlame the blind and furious hatred
OF the Havana mob for all Americans
and fOr all political measures that have
seemed to cOnciliate American public
opinion. The prevention of such out
RACES were impossible, for the reason
that the Conservatives and volunteers
are Spanish almost to n man, and, con-
sequently, the Spanish soldiers can
not be trusted to support Governor
General Blanco in an effort to coerce
them.
While it was only scare, our gov
ernment has been admonished to be in
readiness to have a gunboat close at
hand and fleet that could be concen-
trated in two or three days Besides,
Don Carlos, the pretender to the
Spanish throne, may make a move
toward Madrid any day, and greatly
complicate the condition of Spain.
What took place in the Cuban capital
Is but the counterpart of what occur
red i'll the ten years war, when the
volunteers were masters of the city
and the orders of the Spanish author
tiles were set at naught. 1t is anarchy
in word, which virtually reigns in
Havana, and our Government would |
be recreant to its duty if it left unde-
Tended the lives and property of Amer
lean citizens, which are there exposed |
to deadly peril. With the ultimate
of placing American war
ships III the harbor of Havana we have
to do. 1t will be the fault of |
the Spaniards if our determination to
rescue our citizens leads to war.

Prof. Chester of the Delaware Experi-
ment Station, showed by illustrated
chart the advantages of spraying fruit
to prevent apple scab.
One of the brightest members of the
Association, and who has impaired
much valuable information during the
various discussions, is Prof. G.. Harold
Powell, ,horticulturalist OF the Delaware
College Experiment Station. Thurs
day afternoon he addressed the Asso-
citation on "a Mistake in Apple Cul-
ture." Prof Powell said:
'There is a general feeling among
fruit growers that apple culture is
not adapted to the Peninsula. The
climate and soil however are not
unlike that in other sections where an
pie culture is proftably developed. The
fundamental trouble lies in the former
attempt to grow northern varieties
The variety is largely an expression of
the physical condition in which II
exists. Hence varieties should not he
brought into a climate entirely diff.
ferent from that in which thew ara
naturally adapted. The mistake was
made however, because, when the
early Peninsula orchards were set
there were no other prominent yarie-
ties IN existence. The same mistake
was made by the western states. The
production of local varieties is one of
the horticultural demands of times.
Ihey can be produced on the PENN

mercial kinds already here in cultiva-

only lately, secured, by introducing
