Congressional Timber.

Editor DelaWarean:
| noticed last week Frankford adj
mirer of Mr.. Joseph e. Holland of Mil
ford, speaks favorably of that gentle
mans claim upon the Democratic
party and suggests that he would make
a very available Congressional candi-
date. l admit everything the cores
pondent says regarding Mr.. Holland.
He is a fine man and a representative
Democrat. But, Mr. Editor, "a Kent
countian l claim that this county
should be accorded the honor Of this
nomination, and we have already a
strong representative Democrat in the
field for the nomination in the person
of Hon. Robert H. Wilson. This we'll
known Democrat has been a faithful
worker in the partys ranks, and wher-
ever he has been placed he has re-
fiected credit on his party. He has al
extensive personal acquaintance among
the party workers of the State, ant
should he be nominated he will un-
doubtedly poll the full strength of his
party's vote. KENT.

Very Small Infleed.

Editor Delawarean, Dear Sir:-Will
you please allow me space to protest
against what l consider contemplate
political methods. A certain element
are busily engaged circulating reports
in this neighborhood that Hon Willard
Salisbury and Hon. Peter ]. Ford are
responsible for the failure of the Del
aware General Electric Railway Com
pany. The object of this is very plain.
They know that the farmers of this
section desire the trolley, and they
hope to place the gentlemen named
above in a false position before our
citizens. That their statements are
false, goes without saying, but I wish
to bring the subject out thus publicly
in order that no Democrat may be
fooled by them.
They certainly must fear these gen
tlemen and the standing they have
among our voters when they stoop to
such contemplate methods to malign
them. These are the same men with
whom Patrick Neary, of Wilmington,
has lately been hob-nobbing in Dover.
When the men who really represent
the Democrats of Kent county gather
in Dover next Tuesday Mr.. Neary and

National Chairman James K Jones
yesterday issued the following: I be-
lieve that Colonel William J. Bryan
will carry every State ne carried in
1896, and moreover will carry Ken
tucky and Maryland He has a splen-
did chance in Indiana, Ohio an1 New
York. The great fight will be in New
York and Ohio, and we gained in both
States since 1896. The Pacific coas. is
stronger to-day for Bryan than in 1896
Kansas and Colorado we will carry and
the situation in the two Dako.as is
most encouraging. Mr.. Jones has
kept an close touch with political senti-
ment all over the country and speak,
from a thorough knowledge of existing
political conditions.

Civil service rules and regulations
count for but little with the Republican
party leaders when party exigency de-
mands that they shall be ignored
Despite the claim that Mr.. Mckinley
frowns upon pernicious political ac-
tivity among his office holders, it is
stated that nearly all the Southern
delegates to the National Convention
are Federal office holders. All the
same there is likely to be strong
civil service plank in the platform
these office holders will help to build.

ORDER FOR NEW JAIL.
Judge W. B. Martin Issued a
Rule Yesterday.
Deputy Clerk Coleman Will Issue Notices
to Every Member of tho Councils, Re-
quiring Them to Show Cause Why n
Mandamus Shall Not be Issued.

Judge Martin, of the Law and Chan
Gerry Court, has issued an order in re-
gard to the jail.
Last night, on q report transmitted
to him by the Corporation Court,
Judge Martin awarded a rule against
all the members of the Select and
Common Councils. mentioning each
member personally, to show cause on
the ed of the present month why a
peremptory mandamus shall not issue
against them requiring them to put the
city Jail in proper condition.
The report of the condition of the
TO as a public scandal, and judge Al
Court. has practically endorsed that
mittee of Councils was authorized on
OF the condition of the jail. Judges
Martin and Hanckel have acted with
the idea of compelling the Councils to
stop investigating and act on the con-
dition of the iail.
The order was entered last night and
Deputy Clerk Coleman will issue the
notices TO the thirty members of the
two Councils separately at once in or
der that each one may have an OPP
portunity 10 answer personally why he
has neglected to attempt some relief
tor the condition of the Jail. These
papers will be served doubtless on each
member of the Councils on Monday.

cUDAHY PACKING co.
LARGE PROVISION DEPOT TO BE
ESTABLISHED HERE BY THE
OMAHA COMPANY.


The Cudahy Packing Company. OF
Omaha. Neb.. has made arrangements
to occupy the old building on the
southeast corner of Water and Fayette
streets.
The building was formerly occupied
by the Consolidated Cotton Compress
In connection with the Atlantic and
Danville Railroad Company. This
building has not been in use since the
cotton business was moved to Atlantic
City Ward. consequently it is in need
of repairs.
The Cudahy Company will begin to
remodel and reconstruct the building
at once. 1t will be equipped with a
refrigerator plant. and will be used for
the storage of fresh meats and pro-
visions and as depot of supply and
distribution for this vicinity.
1t is likely, also, that there will be
large amount OF meats and pro-
visions sent here for foreign shipment.
This is more favorably situated port
Tor winter traffic than the Northern
ports are. The railways centering here
from the West have less trouble with
ice and snow than the Northern roads
have.
The Cudahys have establishments at
Louisville. Chicago Kansas City and
Omaha. hence the depot here should
prove q large accession to the busi-
ness interests of Norfolk.

biast. The lowest temperature record
ed IN Norfolk yesterday was at $3.50

curry descended to SO degrees. or just 4
degrees above the freezing point. At S
o'clock Thursday night the tempera-

local prognosticator, Mr.. Gray. said
last night he expected the cold weather
would remain with us several days.
