opened at other resorts, and why not
hereg Finer days one could not desire.
The bench was never in better conui-
.ion-broad, fiat, clean and hard as a
floor, lust the condition to delight
lovers Of the ocean. IL Rehoboth had
better railroad facilities, it might DO
come winter resort. The pine forests
skirting lite borders furnish n wind
break, aud their odor is refreshing and
beautiful.
! Many signs point to the approach OF
summer. and with 1t Rehoboth g erent-
est season. Tho first ccnler is here, has
been here for three weeks. and work.
men are constantly arriving. More
+ cottages are occupied now than ever
before at this period Of the year. Be-
fore the season opens, it will probably
be found thai the number OF cottages
Ia insufficient.
At present, 81 cottages are being
erected, or are under contract for cree
tion.

Mr.. II. L. Nelson in letter to
the New York World furnishes some
interesting figures of the cost of our
war operations, which show that the
prospects OF making money out of our
Philippine contract, which some cx-
pansionists hold out SO alluiingly, are
very remote.
The war with Spain, Mr.. Nelson
says, began in April, 1898, and the ex-
penses of our army to the end Of that
fiscal year, inclusive of river and
harbor improvement, were about
81, 200, 600, while those OF the navy
were nearly s59,0O0,00o. During q
little more than two months our mill
tary activity cost over 800, 600, 600 more
than was expended during the previous
twelve months. In 1899 the cost OF the
military establishment, emitting river
and harbor expenditure, was nearly
S2l4, 900, COO, and the cost of the navy
was about S64, 900, 600, making a total
of s277, 100000 Striking off $40, 000, 0OC
as the cost OF these departments in q
normal year, we have over SPOT, COO. 0OC
increase, and making all lossible de-
auctions, the cost Of the Philippine
war in 1899 must be figured at nearly
$l64, 100000 We do not know how
much this war is costing at present
but we do know that for the year l9Gt
Congress appropriated for the pay o
the military forces 500, LOG, 600, ant
that an additional sum Of Sl5, ISL, 00
is now asked for, whilo the item o
transportation, for which SIT, 500, 00
was allowed, now calls for $50, 600, 90
more. .u-.
Judging from the disbursements thi
year and the estimates for 1901, til
Philippine war will cost US at the rat
of 800. 900. 900 for the army alone, Will
! the increased charge for the navy an
t civil list will be at least $40, GOO, 00t
> What the pension bill will eventual
, be, cannot be foretold, Aitogethe
Q Mr.. Nelson's estimate of $3.50, 600, OK
= as the cost of the war with Spain, wit
$ indefinitely enlarged annual expens,
i in the future, seems not excessive.

In urging the Porto Rico Tariff bill
upon reluctant Republican Congress
men, President Mckinley is reported
to have said; "a man who can come
within 10 per cent of getting what he
wants is doing pretty WE'LL" This is
no argument, however, but mere
subtorfuge. 1t matters not whether
the Porto Rico tariff shall be 10 per
cent Or 100 per cent of Dingley bill
rates, it is the principle at stake that
forms the issue. President McKinley's
contemptible pretext is on a par with
the famous remark of Congressman
Tim Campbell of New York City
whats little matter like the Con.
stitution between friends?"

Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal.
Smyrna, March IA. The resolution
providing that all tax collectors who
desire reelection must settle their
duplicates in full Is causing copsterna.
tion among some OF the collectors. At
first, they laughed at the resolution,
thinking they could persuade the Levy
Court to rescind 1t. When pressure
was brought upon the Levy Court, a
few days ago, ii was ascertained that
the court, in adopting the resolution,
had complied with law PASSED by the
Legislature at the adjourned session in
1893, and had not adopted it as Joke,
as some collectors imagined. Then, the
collectors began to hustle; and new,
all are striving to make themselves
eligible for reelection.
IL is understood that the Kenton bun
dred collector is less than 5000 behind,
and the Duck Greek hundred collector
about s1G0.
The election has been postponed until
March 3lst, so that the collectors will
have ample time to SETTLE.
When the law was drafted, IL was in
tended that the collectors should settle
within Is per cent of the duplica tes,
but Senator Fennimore struck this
out, and made 1t the entire amount.

Kent county tax collectors, acoordiny

Kent county tax collectors, according
to a letter from Kent county corre-
spondent printed elsewhere in this
issue, are considerably worried over
the discovery that recent law operates
TO prohibit their reelection unless they
settle their duplicates in full. Natur-
ally desiring to continue in office, they
are now hustling to collect all the un-
paid taxes on their books in order to
make themselves eligible. The law is
coed one, and should be amended SC
as to apply to the entire State.

Accordipp TO The Trensury Bureau Of

According to the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics, two-thirds of the worlds
supply of sugar is new obtained from
beets and one third from cane, while
sixty years ago all but 3 per cent was
the product of the cane. The sugar
cane will grow in tropical countries
only, while the sugar beet grows
readily in temperate countries. This
makes great difference in that the
world is no longer dependent upon the
product Of one section for the bulk OF
its sugar.

The extent to which the Dingley
tariff weighs upon American industry
is illustrated by the fact that in the
seven months ended with January the
importations of crude articles that
enter into various processes of domestic
industry amounted to s169, O63, 9G2 or
about $500, 100000 a year, says the
Baltimore Sun. To the extent that
these articles pay the tariff tax to that
extent American industry is hampered
and our export trade is obstructed. II
lie evident that we cannot sell abroad
at low prices articles made of materials
that have paid heavy duty.

Great Britain declines mediation as
means of ending the war in South
Africa, and, like General Grant, will
accept no terms but unconditional
surrender. There is only one conclusion,
therefore, and that Is, the sooner the
Beers surrender the better. To con-
tinue the contest will cause useless

A WESTERN MINING TOWN.
The People That Go to Make Up . Community In the Gold
 Country,

With all the juggler growths and magical buildings and burgeonings in this latest forcing house of fortune, one looks confidently for some typical effect in humanity. It is Inevitable, says Scribner's, that an environment so strikingly original should stamp it's impress upon the indweller, andrthe re- suit is type peculiar to the gold field; type in which the brain courage of the schools and of the battle ground of the market place is fairly crossed with the body fitness of the pioneer. In-the gnome-masters, and in their masters, the men of affairs, the type is we'll de- fined. You recognize it in passing and instinctively lift your hat. For it is the apotheosis of all that is strongest and most undaunted, and perhaps all that is least malleable and most self assertive. in our composite nationality. If it be not a survival of the Attest, it is at least an ingathering of the best equipped.
 At dinner given by the alumna of one of the older universities 8 short time since, there were 60 covers laid and no empty chairs. If the alumna of all the colleges represented in the six mile by ten district could have been guests at this dinner, it is conceivable that not all the turntables of the town eOrld have seated them.

THROUGH LOVE TO LAUGHTER.

Lead your child through love to laughter Borrow soon enough comes after: Soon enough will real ills find it, Let not false gloom blur or blind it: Life has much of glee and gladness. Smothering smiles in babes is madness, Rather let them laugh and love it With Gods smiling skies above 1t; Joyous juniors love to caper, Ills for them are thin as paper, While the gladness and the glory Fill life to its upper story: Smiles for them are finely filling, Though some tears each may be spiiling Let them laugh. the years are flying To where each shall know more crying, Burdened with the cares and trials, Sufferings and self-denials Which grow greater, stronger, bolder, AS their human slaves grow older. Let the child laugh long and longer, Let its love of glee grow stronger, Better it should turn from troubles, Laugh at irridescCnt bubbles, Than eclipse its sunny gladness In the atmosphere of sadness. All too ready to bereI-ve us, And with ghosts Ot gloom to leave us. Let your juvenile be jolly, Lead him far from melancholy, Harmless joys jar roof and rafter, Lead your child through love to laughter.
