The hope Of using the present Cassi- |
cal Academy building for a high
cshool in Milford. appears to have hadl
tombstone erected over it's grave
etmcture, and who now want double

IL is the duty Of these representa-
tives Of the people to elect senator
ON Tuesday That senator should be
a Republican. There are scores oil
worthy and competent Republicans inI
the state among whom to choose. The
idea of re-electing Mr. Gray as able
and worthy as he Is, is but a plea OIL
certain men to create prejudice. Some
papers outside the state have candidlyI
| recommended his election in prefer
ence to Mr. Addicks, but Delaware Re
! publicans demand one Of their own
party. With the members Of the Gen

BY this time the people of Delaware
doubtless see the mistake they made
when they elected a Republican Leg
islature. Before the end of the ses-

their choice, for when the eenatorship

The disposition to make changes in
the laws before they are fairly test
ed by experience Is manifest at every
session of the Legislature. Already
some mutterings are heard in various
quarters i'm regard TO the new Consti.
tuition and the ballot law. This un-
rest IS rsincrally from those politi-
clans who have been thwarted in their
plans and policies, and are anxious to
make amendments to remove scme Of
the difficulties that stand guarding the
