The Union Republican has placed a
sign over the door, that welcomes a
compromise on the only fair and equi-
table principle possible for Republicans
to get together On-that of common
primaries and majority rule and equal
representation from the thirty-five rep
resentative districts of the state" The
Sussex Republican, in its last weeks
issue, voices the cry of its co-bolters
in Kent and Sussex and demands that
there be no peace.-Milford Chronicle.
One thing is very evident and that is,
the people want a trolley and want it
bad. Any feeling of opposition that
may have existed once is now fairly
dead. There appears to be an absolute
unanimity in desiring a trolley road
through the county. The feeling is
that such a road will de-
velop our country and materi-
ally enhance the value of farm land.
With this common feeling, it is pretty
sure that such matters will soon come
to a climax; that the company which
shows itself best able financially to
give the people what they want will
win the day. and the rivalry will cease
once and for all-Dover Index.

for two United States senators; for one
lieutenant governor; for a Legislature;
for state and county officers; for every
thing, and IL is openly asking the Reg
ular Republicans to assist in their pro-
curement Those are the favors and re-
wards asked for debauching the voters
and disrupting the party. The Union
Republican party is one perpetual
want which will never be satisfied.
For the organ of such a party to de-
clare that it is willing only to stand
for the best interests Of the people and
for fair and honest government" is SO
manifestly untrue as to require but
passing comment
The good people of Delaware know
what the Union Republican party
stands for in this state. They hav,
seen it sprout and grow and flourish
beneath the benehcent showers OF coir
OF the realm. They know it all, ant
the hypocritical mask which has beer
lput on for the time being cannot i'm
lpair OF destroy the public memor,
upon which the evils Of Union Republi
canism or Addicksism are but to-
deeply and vividly impressed.

TACK ON AUTHORITIES.

TACK ON AUTHORITIES.
Trenton, N. j., Sept. 16.-Interest in
affairs at the state prison was given a
fresh start yesterday when Keeper
Moore summarily dismissed Major A.
A. Yard from his position as gate
keeper Yard was one of the deputies
suspended a week ago by the Board of
Prison Inspectors, who are investigat-
ing the charges that through the con-
nivance of prison employees delicacies
were smuggled into the prison for
Thomas S. Clark, who is serving a term
of five years for being implicated in
the robbery Of a bank in Dover, Del.
The suspension of the two deputies
who are Democrats, prompted a news
paper published in this city to vigOr-
ously attack Prison Keeper Moore and
Supervisor Anderson, and charge that
two convicts had fought in the centre OF
the prison, surrounded by ring oi
deputies; that the prison officials con-
sumed large quantities of whiskey al
the expense of the state, and that a
convict had died because the stimu-
lants sent him were drunk by his at
tendants.
Yesterday Keeper Moore called Gate
Keeper Yard to his office and asked
him If he was giving the newspaper the
information upon which were based
the attacks upon the prison authorities
Yard refused to answer the question
and the keeper told him that he would
give him until yesterday to make VI
his mind whether or not he would an
swer the question. Yard still refused
to answer the query, and his dismissa
| followed.
The action of Keeper Moore IS sub
ject to the approval of the Board o
Inspectors. Yard has been connected
with the prison about fourteen years
and up to the time of the investigation
was considered one of the most reliable
| employees Of the institution.

For Another Trial.

Judge Jackson has announced that
he will hear the motion, made to set
aside the verdict found against George
Wanko, tomorrow morning in crimi-
nal court.
1t is seldom possible to anticipate
the action of a court in matter of
this character, but nevertheless the be-
lief is general that the verdict will be
set aside and accused granted a new
trial. This belief has its basis in the
opinion phat the verdict of voluntary
manslaughter was not found according
to the law and the evidence. 1t is al
so freely expressed that the instruc-
tlons of the court were not adhered to
in the rendering of the verdict. How
ever that may be, the arguments on
TIE motion to set aside the verdict are
to De made tomorrow morning and
tney will decide whether George Wan
ko is to be sentenced to the poniten-
tiary in accordance with the verdict,
or to have another trial to prove that
there was neither malice nor intent to
kill Felix Carr.-Journal.

River News.

The Pittsburg Post says: River
business is at a stanostill here, and
about the only topic discussed is the
stand that has been taken by the pilots
on the wage question. River men are
guessing on the outcome, and owners
of craft are anxiously awaiting next
Monday, when the coal combine will
elect officers and directors. How the
boatmen will fare depends largely on
the board chosen by the combine.
Some of the coal operators claim that
the pilots are taking the wrong course
to secure the good will of their en-
ployers, and that the trip men will be
the greatest sufferers in any event.
When short trips are to be made the
year men will be called upon, which
has not been the custom heretofore
THIS will give the men who agree to
work by the year plenty to do and
leave the trip men idle most of the
year. The pilots claim that they will
aSick tcgeaher and not yield, but the
operators say that the pilots never
have stuck together and never will.
Everybody interested is waiting for a
barge stage, when the whole matter
will be settled one way or the other"
