In the continued spat between the
Lader and DeLaUarean, the first
named hasn't therespect for the Sauls-
burys as should attach to party leaders
as the following extract will show:
The DelaWGreGn is better at singing
the praises of the family than at con-
troversy and as it seems desirous of
dropping the discussion it has started
we shall not press it. We are anxious
for the success of the Democratic
party, but not at the price of rewarding
the Addicks of the Democratic party,
hence we have said and now insist that
the chairman of the Democratic State
Committee is not possessed of char
acter and reputation such as attact'
honest men and gives confidence ant
assurance of clean methods in a cam

THE REGISTRATION FEE.
Discussion as to Whether 1t Will be Con.
tnued in Our State.

There is talk in some quarters that
the Legislature at the coming session
will take steps toward the repeal of
the law requiring the payment of one
dollar as a registration fee. We con-
slider the law as it now stands a wise
and polite one and any attempt to
alter its provisions should meet with
the immediate disapproval of the peo-
pie. The people of each Represen-
tative and Senatorial District in this
State should instruct their members
of the Legislature, in no uncertain
terms concerning this matter. The
cost of the recent election, in this
county alone, is about $4,000 The
total vote in the county was 1905.
Thus, it will be seen, allowing for
person registered who fail ed to vote,
that the expenses of a presidential
election in this county are but little
more than betrayed by registration
fees. As the principle applies here,
so it will apply in New Castle and Sus-
sex counties, with little or no varia-
ton.
The registration fee is a lair and
equitable method of meeting the ex-
penses of an election, and without il
ther ewould be an excess in the tax rate
of the counties, which is now met by the
application of the law requiring pay
ment of a dollar in order to exercise
the right of franchise.

REDUCING THE WAR TAX.
1t Does Not Take Off The Stamp of Checks
the Thing Most nee ded.

The Republican members of the
ways and Means Committee have
reached an agreement to Recommend
reduction annually in the war revenue
taxes of $50, 900 by repeating the
stamp levy on several documents and
articles of commerce. This report will
be made in conformity with the sug-
gestion of Secretary Gage that curtail-
ment of the national income to such an
extent is possible without embarrassing
the treasury. 1t is altogether gratify
ing to note that the sum total of the
proposed reduction is twice that which
was suggested before the committee
actually began its work, and it may be
that the way for further reductions
may be opened as the labor proceeds.
While the committee has not yet pre-
pared schedule of articles upon which
it favors repeal of tax, it has been
intimated that it will include the stamp
tax on proprietary articles, on notes
and mortgages, deeds and cOnveyances
where the consideration is less than
1000, kilograms, express receipts and
some other commercial and lega
papers, but not on checks and drafts,
Why these are not included in the fore
cast of possibilities is not explained,
but the fact that the stamping o
checks and drafts is one of the most an
noying of the entire list would seen
to Recommend them for attention, bu
doubtless, these are among the great
therefore continue to be bothersome.

DEMOCRATIC SCHEME TO
DISFRANCHISE NEGROES
BLAME THE UNPRECEDENTED VOTE IN
MARYLAND ON ILLITERATE NEGROES.
How the Disfranchisement Would Work
When 1t was Found the Scheme Would
Cut Off Both Ways.

Stung by defeat and anxious to strike
a responsive chord in the Democratic
heart, the Baltimore San is telling its
readers how the negro vote of the State
is responsible for the unprecedented
political trouncing administered to the
Democratic party of Maryland on Nov.
9th.
1t is hoped to inaugurate a move
ment looking to the elimination of the
next negro vote by the next General
Assembly at Annapolis. The disfran-
chisement of illiterate voters was advo-
Gated with vigor at the last session,
until it was found by a systematic ex-
animation of the poll books that to dis
franchise the $4,000 colored illiterates
would also sacrifice Is, 900 white votes.
The San and the Democratic party
have no objection to the white illit-
crate voter, as he usually votes the
Democratic ticket, but the cOlored il
literate is a thorn in the side that
causes constant irritation, because as
a rule the cOlored voters are consistent
thick and thin Republicans. Hence
the desire to take away their suffrage
if it can be done without injury to the
Democratic party. In counties like
Prince Georges, Charles and St
Marys, where the number of colOred
illiterates is more than double that o.
the whites, the scheme is strongly en-
dorsed by the Democrats, but wher
