have given his name a deserved ma
tlonal prominence.

State Sunday School Resolution.
The Executive Committee of the Delaware
State Sunday School Association. having
heard with profund sorrow of the sudden
late associate, Hon. John H. Hoffecker, of
Smyrna, do hereby desire to express our
sincere sorrow at his departure from us in
the midst of his years and usefulness. We
desire to place on record our appreciation
of his high tone christian character and ex-
ample and of his devotion to the Sunday
School cause, not only in Smyrna, but
throughout the entire State of Delaware and
the nation at large, which he evinced by
taking lively interest in whatever pertained
to the advancement of Sunday School work
and interests in Delaware or elsewhere.
We shall miss his genial presence and wise
counsel in our State Sunday gatherings, sor-
rowing that we shall hear his voice and
see his face no more. Our prayer is that we
who remain may be more faithful and earn
est in the discharge of our duties, knowing
that the time is short. We commend to our
Heavenly Fathers loving and sympathetic
care the family of the deceased, praying
| that the comforts and consultations of His
grace may abound toward them in this hour
of sad bereavement and that this affection
may be santicfied unto them and to us as a
committee and to all who are exercised
thereby.
| Res0LUed, That this minute be spread
| upon our records and that copy be sent to
the family of the deceased.

Some ParadOxical Features.

Alluding to some of the paradoxical
features of the New York Democratic
State Convention, the New York
World says:
"But when the convention de-
nounced trusts and then proceeded to
elect Augustus Van Wyck delegate
at-large, and when it rebuked San Of
fensive bossism in and around the
White House" and then elected Rich
ard Croker also delegate-at-large, it
perpetrated a qualification that is
both stupendous and ridiculous.

John Henry Hoffecker; and
WHEREAS, The long and intimate rela-
tions held with HMM the faithful discharge
of his duties makes it eminently befitting
that we record our appreciation of him;
therefore,
ResOlUed, That the wisdom and ability
which he exercised in the aid of our organi-
zation will be held in grateful remem-
brance.
Res0l0ed, That the sudden removal of
such life from among us leaves vacancy
that will be deeply felt by all the members
and friends of our organization and will
prove a serious loss to the community and
public.
Res0lCed, That, in deep sympathy with
the beGeaved relatives of the deceased, we
express our hope that even so great loss to
us all may be over-ruled for good by Him
who doeth all things well.
ReSOlUed, That a copy of these resolutions
be spread upon the records of this associ-
alton, copy printed in the papers, and
copy forwarded to the bereaved family.

SERIOUS TROUBLES IN CHINA
An Incident of the Chino. British Troops at
Wei.Hai-Wei.


Wei.Hai-Wei.
The serious troubles in China recall
attention tc an incident of about a
month ago which, though little noticed
at the time, must be regarded as one
of the most significant in recent
Chinese history. We refer to the con-
duct of the Chino British troops at
Wei-Hai-Wei. Upon securing pos
session of that place, less than two
years ago, the British set about the ex-
pertinent of organizing Chinese regi-
ment for local police work. The ex-
pertinent had been successful with the
Fellahs of Egypt, with the Houssas of
West Africa, with negroes in the West
Indies, and of course on a most i'm
pressive scale with the GhOorkas and
Sikhs in India. There was much
curiosity to see whether it would work
equally we'll with the Chinese in China
The regiment was officered by English
men and equipped and drilled accord
ing to the most approved European
style, 1t was not until month ago,
however, that there was an opportun-
ity of testing its efficiency in action.
That opportunity came IN the attack of
a vast armed Chinese mob upon the
British officers who where delimiting
the boundaries of the British conces-
sion at Wei-Hai-Wei. The Chinese
regiment was ordered out. 1t obeyed.
1t answered every command as per-
fectly as the Queens Life Guards
could have done. In the last dread
emergency it fred upon the Chinese
mob with the steadiness and precision
of European veterans. In brief, the
experiment was a complete success.
Chinese soldiers under proper COM
mand were shown to be good enough
for any army in the world.
In that, we say, there is a signifi
canoe that is absolutely startling. For
if one Chinese regiment can thus be
created, why not a thousand, or ten
thousand such regiments? Nothing is
required but drillmasters and offic ers
and Europe has more of them than
she knows what to do with-and
money to pay for modern equipment,
which it would not be difficult to pro-
cure.

EDUCATION IN DELAWARE.
Action of the State Formation of WOman's
CIubs-COmiDg School Election.

On Saturday, June Both, school cleo
tions will be held thrc ughout Kent
and Sussex counties.
Section 13 of the new school law, all
female residents of any school district,
over 81 years of age, who have paid
school tax for the year preceding 1899
are qualified to vote.
These school elections are of vital
Importance to the children, and through
them to the mothers in this State.
With this new power and privilege, it
may lay with the women to decide
whether competent persons shall sit
on our school boards and committees;
and whether sufficient funds shall be
raised by taxation for the proper run
ming of our schools.
1t is the duty of every woman who
can vote, to vote.
After the school election, the assess
ment for the next year will be made.
All real estate and many classes of per-
sonal propert p are assessed, such as
COWS, silver and the like. In the past,
it has has been the custom to assess
such property in the name of the hus-
band even when the wife was the real
owner and actually paid the tax. Under
the new law it is important to women
to see that their own assessable prop
erty is assessed in their own names.
If this is done, the right to vote is
given. Let every woman see to the
school assessment which will be made
up in July.

The EUeyy Evening says: "By a

Delaware this year." The Daily Re

out ex-Sheriff Finn honest, or are the
Democrats who refused to count the
election returns in Kent county hon
est? 1t is true the court fined ten or
twelve of the first named conspirators
500 each, and also decided after the
lapse of many months that the inspec-
tors in Kent county had failed in their
duty. But through that failure, the
Legislature and the Constitutional
Convention were made Democratic
bodies. We have never heard of Dem
ocratic Conventions censuring such
recreancy, or an effort made to relieve
the party of such rascality.

there were but 24O foreign-born inhab-

INCREASING FREIGHT RATES.
Business Men May be Forced to Raise
Prices to Correspond.

So closely interviewer are all forms
of human industry in this age that a
disturbance of values in any one nee
essarily effects a change in all others.
The price of coal goes up, and the rail-
ways, which are the largest consumers
of coal, to make up for the reater ex-
pense, are now considering an in
crease in freight rates.
Every business man who sends or
receives anything by rail will have to
raise his prices to make up for the in
creased cost. The retail merchant will
not be long in following his lead, and
so on down the line, until it comes to
the ordinary consumer, who will find
the struggle for life harder in the con-
sequence.

Ex-Congressman Sidney Clark, for

with his duties as sarepresentative, yet he
had time to talk about the church and

spoke of his christian character and
his honest, straightforward course in

BREACH AMONG DEMOCRATS.

The free silver and sound money Dem

loyal to their party, free silver or no free
silver, although the rivalry is great at
the present time because certain men
W int to be recognized as leaders in the

such men as Il. Irving Handy and John

Delaware Democracy, may help to widen
the breach at the coming election. The

the ex-Ambassador being dead and the
sons out of the state. The Saulsburys
are politically ambitious, and the Biggs
