The death of Jas. V. Moore, at the
residence of his daughter, Mrs. Geo.
w. Sparks, in Wilmington, last week,
age SO, removes from the list of the
living, name that was very familiar
to this part of the State 40 and so years
ago, when he was a resident of the
vicinity of Odessa, or as it was origi-
nally known, Cantwell's Bridge. He
was man of fine presence, great cor
diality, a lineal descendant of our
colonial days. his grandfather,
Capt James Moore, a fighter in the
Revolutionary War; he had served in
the Legislature and Levy Court and
his name was frequently mentioned as
possible gubernatorial candidate by
the Wings before the Civil War. He
was a cotemporary of such men as
Daniel Corbit, Cyrus Polk, John
Appleton, John Whitby, Charles
Polk and others that gave Odessa
great prominence both politically and
religiously nearly half century ago,
and like them was a large land
holder.

THE rapid growth of Mexico, the
former country of revolutions until the
days of Diaz, Is one of the astonishing
advances of modern civilization. The
Brooklyn Standard Union in noting
this is prompted to say:
Prosperity in the United State is so
great that it is fairly running over,
and Mexico IS profting by the over
flow. The National Bank of Mexico
in the City of Mexico, is putting up
new building, larger than the old, in
the American style-steel frame and
strong facings-and one of the newer
banks is about to increase its capital
to meet the increased business. The
old style street cars are being replaced
by up to date carsrun by electric power
both in the capital and in other cities
of the republic, and the plants are to
be supplied in the United States.
So. instead of the United States
being Mexicanized, as Bryan an his
ilk would have had it with their glori-
fcation of silver, it is Mexico that is
being Americanized, which is quite a
different thing. That "change" is
coming where it is most needed-not
here, but there.

Gov. ROOSEVELT in his message to
the New York Legislature, directs at
tention to the greed of the Trusts, and
expresses the opinion that where a
tlust becomes a monopoly, the State
has an immediate right to interfere.
He summed up the chief abuses in this
way:
Misrepresentation or concealment
regarding material facts connected
with the organization of an enterprlze;
the evils connected with unscrupu-
lous promotion; over capitalization
unfair competition, resulting in the
crushing out of competitors who them
selves do not act improperly; raising
of prices above fair competitive rates;
the welding of increase power over
the wage earners."

The Union Republican, of George
town. compliments the Levy Court OF
Sussex county at the improvement in
the finances of the county, saying:
County Orders are getting scarcer
and scarcer at discount, and another
twelve months will see, if the present
course is steadily maintained, a Won
derful improvement in the fnanial con-
dition of this county, so long debauch-
ed for political purposes. Let the
Levy Court go ahead firmly without
regard to any consideration except an
eye single to the interest of the people.
Cut every dollar off that is in excess OF
what is right"

WITH the turn of the J ear the lead
ing newspapers of the South have pub
lished summaries of the records made
locally in trade, finance and industry.
Taken as a whole, the exhibits, notably
those of the bank clearings, are indi-
cations OF decided advance IN the past
and of healthy conditions at present.
While the activity in cotton mill build
ings and enlargement, attracts greatest
attention, the record of iron furnaces,
lumber mills, phosphate plants, ma
chine shops and industries concerned
with the diversified handling of ma
terial for manufacturing, is satisfac-
tory.

regarding the new possessions which
have come to us by right of conquest.
every State in the Union will have
deep interest in this matter, and
Delaware will have part to perform
that will mean much to her as a State
and an integral part of this graf Ma
ton. Delawareans, especially the
Democratic voters of this State, will
contend for supremacy in State affairs
as well as to give this States endorse
ment to the principles which shall be
formulated by the National Demo-
cratic Convention.

THE Sentinel expresses a gratlfca-
tion at the signs cf returning sanity,
as expressed in the utterance of ex-
Senator Higgins and F. E. Bach in a
desire for united party at the coming
election. 1t however questions the
statement of Mr.. Higgins that Della
ware is naturally Democratic State:
it admits it was under his leadership
because the Republican party was di-
vided. The Sentinel agrees with the
Morning NeWS that success is certain
with united party, and after quoting
Mr.. Bach that the Senatorship must
be an after consideration says:
''No Senator can possibly be elected
until or unless the legislative ticket is
elected. If the legislative ticket is
elected it will undoubtedly carry with
it the election of the major part of the
State aud county tickets, which the
News prefers and for which Mr.. Bach
pleads. Under this policy, if it is ac-
cepted, each of the present branches of
the party will secure undoubtedly, the
full share of hOnors and emoluments
to which its strength entities it. Each
district in the State will send to its
nominating conventions representa-
tives of the factiOnal views that domi-
nate that district, whether it be Union
Republican or Regular. OF necessity,
therefore, each faction will be enabled
to place candidates on the ticket of it's
own choice.
SIN Kent and Sussex counties the
Union Republicans will have the call
in New Castle it will be otherwise
The great bulk of the county offices OF
that county will doubtless be won by
the regulars. So be it; we in Kent
and Sussex have no right to interfere
at the same time we claim the right tc
select our own candidates. The legis-
lative tickets will be shared in the same
way, and in each of the counties. UP
to this point there surely exists no
cause, real or imaginary, for division

TIE Democratic Messenger, pub
lished at Snow Hill, Nd, by Purnell
e. Vincent, came to us on Saturday,
changed from nine-column folio to a
5-column quarto, to make it more of
an up-to-date newspaper. The Mes
soager as a local newspaper, has for
some years headed the list, but it
changes to the quarto form to he more
handy to the readers, as the paper the
editor says, 'can be read without the
reader turning it and himself inside

John Walter Smith, who is fellow
citizen of the town in whom the edi-
