WHAT is EXPECTED.

The Republican party is also expected
to give an economical administration of
State government. The Democratic
party has for years claimed that Della
ware already had an economical State
government and the Republicans have
claimed that it had not. 1t therefore
remains for the Republican party to
prove that the State was not carried on
economically so far as its government
was concerned, and to make the neces-
sary changes. 1t has also been declared
that when the Republican party obtained
control of the State government it would
give local self-government to Whining
ton in place Of the commission govern
ment which has been placed upon it by
previous Democratic Legislatures. This
promise is also to be kept. Then there
have been claims that the laws of Della
ware were out of date and in many
eases unfair. They must be changed. AL
these things must be done to make the
people understand that the Republican
lparty means exactly what it has promis
led. There is no reason to doubt that al
these promises will be kept unless tn,
Legislature splits itself into sections owe
the election of United States Senator
and then the chances are that but littl
legislation will be Wilmington

Stevens.
The grand duke was also smitten
with the charms of the fair young
American girl, and during a boating
party given in his honor he was con-

Minnie Stevens went to England q
year or two after the grand dukes visit
to New York, and her beauty created q
genuine sensation, much to the delight
of her mother.
Many American girls had previously
made successes in English society, but
none had ever been received into the

MADAME, your charms my heart command.
Rejoice your servant with your hand"
But praises alter more than folks.

Our grandsires hearts. True love to be
True love they knew, and so do we,
And by its pangs when we're pervaded
We seek the same old cure that they did
