Such lands can be bought at low
price, and if desired on long credits
while improvements are being made.
The additional value conferred upon
the land by its Improvement will be
materially enhanced by the natural
accretion of value always going on in
a new and growing country.
Nor will such a place remain long
isolated and without the accommOda-
tons of older settlements. The school
law of the state is wisely framed to
provide for new settlements. New
school districts are easily formed. and
the smallest of these has public money
enough to insure a good school for the
greater part of the year.

POLITICS OF
ALL KINDS,

The new mayor goes into office on
July 1st, and then he will announce
the new Water Commissioner The
name OF Edward IL. Brennan has
been mentioned.
George b. Hall has good case
for damages against the city for
false arrest and being locked up in
the city hall cells.
Clerk of the Market Connell is an
applicant for re-appcintment under
the new City Council. The question
may well be asked is Cornell the
right and proper man for this re-
sponsible position?
Jonathan S. Willis is an appli-
cant tor the position of census
enumeration tor Delaware. 1t is
said he is hustling tor the position
and expects to get it. This was
his errand to this city some two
weeks ago, when he gave out his
opinion how the Republican factions
could and should get together. The
supervisors will be announced by

With ten city positions to fill and
over 200 applicants to pick from,
that is where the rub comes in and
is the cause of great deal OF pull
ing and hauling.
The appointments of Isaac c. Pyle
as City Auditor. will fix up a slate
that was to have gone through, but
which is now said to be broken and
which will show up later on in the
appointing of the police. Other ap-
pointments will show which way
the wind blows.
One of the fights royal in the
formation of the new City Council
will be the naming of the chairmen
OF the different standing committees.
Colonel Henry DUPONT will have
the recommending of the census
supervisor for Delaware. The time
is now growing short and then the
lucky ones will rejoice and those
left be correspondingly unhappy.
But then disappointment is what is
to be expected in this life.
