To be Republican is for a man
to think for himself. TO own him
self and vote as he thinks and not
as some body else thinks. To be a
Republican at one time in Della
ware was to have trouble when you
went 10 the polls on election day 10
vote. But fortunately those times
have passed in Delaware, and the
Republican party has been on trial
down in Sussex courty with not
f1attering results it ne.h alf is true
OF what has been said about the fl
nauces ol that county and its cred
it, to float the loan. 10 be Re-
publican is not to follow any man
or set OF men bl:ndly, or to vote the
Republican ticket because your
father voted it. TO be Republi.
can is because you think the ideas
Of the men constituting it are better
it put in lorce than those OF the
Democratic party. 70 be a Re
publican is not TO vote for every
Tom, Dick or Harry because he
has been put up aud nominated by
the Republican party. That day
has gone by among voters of intel
ligence aud who OVID themselves
and are not vassals. The Republl.
can party has done good work IN

The sessions Of the convention were
devoted entirely to business. After the
announcement of the standing commit
tee discussion of the proposed amend
mcnts to the constitution was begun
and continued with much earnestness
until evening. The result of the days
work was the adoption Of the first sew

changes made pertains to matters Of
church government. Largely attended

FRIDAY. OCTOBER 4. 1901. :

The gentlemen owning the fran.
chlse of the Universal Conduit,
Light. Heat and Power Company
deny that they have sold out to the
Dobsons. the new owners OF the
Wilmington Coal Gas Company.
The Dobsous have very valuable
gas plant, one which has never for
years failed to earn and pay a
good dividend, especially on the
par value OF the stock. Several
handsome bonuses have been given
to the stockholders on several occa.
slons, in the way Of being allowed
to subscribe for new stock al par
value. when the old stock was
bringing 500 share. Notwith.
standing the advent of the Electric
Light Company several years ago,
the old gas company has been in
creasing its business steadily each
year since.
The gas, under the old manage.
ment, Was considered as good if not
better, than that furnished 10 other
cities and at a reason a Bile rate
There is no reason why the new
owners should not be able to con.
tinue to furnish as good a quality
of gas and as reasonable to our
citizens. At the same time we
think the new owners will find the
gas plant paving one. With the
purchase of the Wilmington Coal
Gas Company, every public fran.
chise in our city is owned by lor-
eign corporations. A few Whining :
tonians may be represented on the

pany for Il time at least.

THE report a. the census depart.
ment al Washington. D. C.. on the
statistics Of Delaware. make a
good showing. The soil 10 Della
ware especially 10 the northern
part Of the State. is a rich clay
boom, suited to a growth of nearly
all kinds Of crops. especially poll.
!iclaus which the sun matches out
fresh crop every year. New
Castle county is the richest by far
Of either oil the two lower counties
Kent and Sussex. This is one rea-
son why 30 many sons of Della.
warcans flock to Wilmington to
make living. Every year the
crop grows larger, but the cry is
still they come. They can be found
In every branch Of business except
the brokerage business. The re-
port says that New Castle county
has :he largest area of good land
and its farms are more highly i'm
proved than are those OF the other
two counties. The average value
per acre Of the lauds IN farms in
New Castle county exclusive of
bulldogs lt SIS. 20; 10 Kent county.
$1,000, and 10 Sussex county,
Sl252. Yet in New Castle county
it takes four men according to the
Kent and Sussex people, 10 equal
one OF them. In the ownerships of
farms the Single Takers cannot
have word 10 say in condemn alton
as the ownership OF All farms are
vested in $50 owners, an average
OF l.5 farms to each. The raising
OF grain apparently pays better at
the present time than anything
else. The value OF corn was greater
than that oil any other crop or
product. The acreage was lD2.025
and the value over Que million dol
lars, while dairy products are down
for only 1902. S07.
The peach culture which at one
time made numerous men rich has
declined steadily Tor several years
past. The number OF peach trees
in 1900 was 40 per cent. less than
in 1870, and the reported product
in 1899 was only IL per cent. of
that OF ten years before. While
the peach trees have declined the
apple trees have increased Go. 6
per cent, pear trees, 1850, and
plums and prune trees. 1884
There is no reason with the sandy
soil in the two lower counties and
miles OF uncutivated land, whv
Delaware should not raise three
times as much small fruits and veg
etables. There Is something radi.
callv wrong why Delaware. es-
peclally in the two lower counties.
has stood still or retrorra ded in
population. The foreign popula.
ton is intinlteslmally Y small IN Kent
and Sussex counties. THIS should
not be when SO much good land is
