length the disaster to the party in hav-
ing two tickets, and promising that
the two factions may unite on an cleo
toral ticket, says:
''But while the Republican factions
may thus be brought together in sup
port of a common electoral ticket by
the action of the national convention,
there seems not the slightest prospect
of an agreement upon State and local
nominations. This would mean two
distinct Republican tickets in the
field, as was the case at the recent
Wilmington city election, which would
open the way to complete Democratic
triumph, no matter if the Democratic
party should be weakened by dissen-
sions over Byran and free silver coinage
to the extent that it was in 1896.

DELAWARE College is going through
another revolution. On Thursday,
after being in session for several hours
the trustees adopted a resolution to
reorganize the staff of the Agricultural
Experiment Station, and to make the
station a department of the college.
The trustees will meet on July II to
reorganize the staff, which Will have
two additional members, caused by the
creation of the positions of entomolO-
gist and meteorologist. The action of
the trustees is equivalent to abolish
ing the present staff, but several of the
professors comprising it will be reap
pointed
Under the resolution the positions
to be filled are an agriculturalists,
chemist, a mycologist and horticul
turist, at a salary of 81, $50 annually
each; entomologist, at a salary of
81, 900 annually, and meteorologist, at
a salary of $500 annually. Of these Of
ficials one is to be elected director of
the station by the trustees on July II,
at an additional salary of $500. This
will make the total compensation an
nually to the directors 49, $50.
For the past ten years an experiment
tai station has been conducted as a
seperate and Independent institution
from the college, while under the pro-
visions of the Hatch bill, through
which Delaware College receives an
annual appropriation of $15, 900 from
the government, it is cited that the ex-
pertinent stations shall be departments
of colleges receiving appropriations.
Thus the agricultural committee de-
cided that the station should be made
a department of the college, under the
control of the board of trustees, and
recommended this in its report.

The EUeTy EUening in an editorial
on politics in this State, thus looks at
the situations:
''From present indications, the po-
litical campaign.in Delaware next year
is going to be one of the most pictures
que and interesting of the many pic
turesque and interesting political cam
paigns that this little State has shown
to the world.
Announcement is made that the
Democratic campaign is to be started
before the close of the present year,
by visit from William J. Bryan, who
is to stay here three days and make
speeches in each of the three counties.
This, however, will be simply one of
the picturesque features of the cam
Paign, not one of the important ones.
No matter what Mr.. Bryan may say or
do during this visit, the Democratic
campaign will not be shaped until after
the meeting of the National Demo
cratic Convention, and its direction
viii depend upon the outcome of that
-oavention. Mr.. Bryan may not be
nominated and the silver question may
be relegated to the rear; or Mr.. Bryan
may be nominated and the disastrous
Chicago platform of 1896 reaffirmed in
its entirely. Here are the probable
situations that will largely affect the
course of the Democratic campaign in
Delaware, and no political prophet
may assume to predict what the out
come will be.
But the prominent features of tn,
Republican campaign are already fore
shadowed. The Union Republicans ant
the Regular Republicans will open b,
holding seperate State conventions anC
sending seperate delegations to th,
Republican National Convention
Which faction will obtain recognition
at the hands of the national body i
the problem. Surface indication
favor the Regulars, who received tn,
endorsement of the st. Louis Conven
ton in 1896, although they were boil

THE Hon. John r. Mclean of Ohio,
assigned it is said, an important part
IN the German combination to defeat
Bryan. Mr.. German, as everybody is
aware, says the New York San, is down
among the angleworms, tunnelling to
undermine Bryan and the Chicago
platform. His unseen and mysterious
activity is inspiring various and gran
diose rumors. According to those who
know it all, he has succeeded in per-
feeting a powerful anti-Bryanite or
ganizatiOn, which consists of Mclean
in Ohio, Garter H. Harrison of Illi-
nois, Harrity in Pennsylvania, Croker

so on in various parts of the Union.

IT was not expected that Kent
county machine men who could give
Tammany pointers, would go through
the little matter of an imprisonment at
Trenton (never dreamed of by Della
ware jury without producing some
kind of a sensation. 1t came in the
papers on Monday, Clark, true to his
nature in a long list of unpunished
deals, leading off. Too much rope in
Trenton, as was the case with too
much rope in Delaware, finally led to

THE Adams Tax Law is giving our
legal authorities. good deal of trouble.
The question now is its constitution
ality.
The case is thus stated in the last
issue of the IndeC:
"The case of the Equitable Guaran-
tee and Trust Company, of Whining,
ton, VS.. John P. Donaho, collector,
now pending in the court of Chancery,
brought for the purpose of testing the
constitutionality of the so-called
Adams Tax Law, is of considerable in
terest to the citizens of this State.
The grounds set forth by the Com
pany for its petition to have the law
declared unconstitutional and void, are
manifold, but the principal one are as
follows:
By section 16 of article of the con-
stitution, it is provided that no bill
or joint resolution, except appropri-
ations for public purposes, shall en-
brace more than one subject, which
shall be expressed clearly in its title.
The original investment tax law was
passed at the session of 1897, prior to
promulgation of the new constitution
It's title was, "An Act to Equalize Tax
alton for State and County Purposes. -
The question might then be raised
whether such title did clearly ex-
press the real subject of the law,
namely: the taxing of investments 1t
was enacted, however, before the go
ing into effect of the constitutional
provision.
Subsequently, at the session of 1898,
after the PRONUNCIATION of the new con-
stitution, the tax law was amended in
several vital and material particulars.
These amendments were embodied in
one act entitled, San Act to Amend
Chapter 381, Volume 90, of the Laws
of Delaware, An Act to Equalize Tax.
alton for State and County Purposes. >
The question is now raised whether
this last amendatory act is in accord
with the provision of the constitution
referred to.
Another point raised is, as to the
uniformity of the taxing provisions
Section l, of article 8, provided thaf
all taxes shall be uniform as to the
subjects embraced and taxed except il
special cases. 1t is claimed that tht
law in question does not comply will
this requirement.
1t is also insisted that another in
equality in the law is to be found il
its provisions as to the distribution o
the taxes collected. In Kent and Sus
sex counties, and in rural New Castle
one fourth goes to the. State and three
fourths to the county. 1t is special,
provided, however, that the taxes col
lected in Wilmington, one-fourth shal
go to the State, one-fourth to tn
county, and two-fourths to the city it
self. 1t is contended that this is dis
elimination, since no other municipal
ity in the whole State except Whining
ton has only part or lot in the dis tri
button of the funds collected.
