DELAWARE APRIL IL 1901


Announcement is made Of steps taken
by Attorney General Ward towards in
vestigating the affairs OF the Levy
Court Of New Castle county for the
past three years. He has summoned
certain county officials to appear before
him with their books and accounts, and
also dlreote that nothing be done with
the books and accounts until after they
have been submitted to him.
This move on the part of the attorney
general is ono that has long been de.
manded by the people, The subject
was referred to at meeting of the
county organization of the Patrons OF
Hushandry. who recommended that it
he taken up by the grand jury. The
latter body appointed committee to
look into the. subject, and finally re !
ferred the matter to the Legislature.
The Legislature did nothing.
Recently. however, the Republican
City Executive Committee, angered by
coalition of two Republican and two
Democratic members OF the Levy Court
for the disposition of some offices,
denounced these two Republican mem
bers and called upon the attorney
general to make an investigation of the
courts transactions during recent
years. Thus, the attorney general
seems to be in the position of acting at
the request of a partisan organization.
This may, or may not be the case, as it
is contended that he has full tight 10
take the step upon his own responsi
bility, and il he was actuated by the
request Of tho political committee, it is
an instance of 'goud coming from evil. 2
The Investigation is what is needed, In
order to either establish or disprovo the
charges of extravaganza and corruption
that have hung about the Levy Court
of recent years.
The investigation should be complete
and impartial. There should be nothing
ABOUT it that has the suspicion of
partisanship or of persecution from
political motives. What the people
want is full report of the detail of
Levy Court transactions and expendi-
lures, no matter what such report
may reveal. Nothing else will be CON
elusive or satisfactory.

special from st. Paul, MINI, to
the New York Times. says that the
phenomenal movement of homeseelzers
TO the Northwestern States which has
been steadily increasing since February
18th, when the first low rates of the
season were put in effect, astonishes
railroad officials and emigration
agents. Between February 18th and
April lst, $4,000 homeseekers have gone
to new homes through st. Paul gate
way, They have gone in colonies re-
quiring a dozen trains to carry them
and their effects; they have gone as
small communities comprising few
families, and hundreds have struck out
alone in search of fortune in new land.
Washington has thus far en joyed the
greatest preference by the immigrants,
a conservative estimate allowing that
State so per cent of tie total move
! ment. Next comes North Dakota, then
Oregon and Idaho. These new settlers
arc not foreigners. They come from the
Eastern, Middle and Southern States,
where they hays lived for generation
or more and until their land has be-
come too valuable to keep and their
families too large to be maintained by
it, 1t il movement forced by circum-
stances that impels the sale of the
small Eastern farm, from the proceeds
OF which five or six times as much land
may be obtained in the West, and
which will also yield many times more
in products. 1t is this change of loca-
ton that gives both the parents and
the children an opportunity to swan
the old homestead for a farm for each
member of the family and increases
the opportunities.
Minnesota and Wisconsin are also
getting their share of new settlers, but
these come from the Old Country,
largely. and have already increased the
population of these two States by GER
haps 10000 Scandinavians The mill
tary laws OF Sweden, it is said, will
cause the immigration Of 10000 fami.
lies during the summer.
II is almost uselt So, the special
states. to try to estimate the immigra.
tien of this year at the present time.
Last year it was thought that fully
$1,000 People went into South Dakota,
10000 into North Dakota, and 1000
into Northern Minnesota. From the
land sales from the reports of The
railroad mtn, from the indications at
points of vantage all over the three
States, it may not be unreasonable to
place this years immigration at 200, 900
or n ore than twice that of last year.

Severe winter in Russia.

The snowfall this winter through
out Southern Russia was altogether
phenomenal, and up to the middle of
March there had been no break in the
cold weather. For considerable period
that part of the country was cut oil
entirely from all communication with
the rest of the world, except by tele-
graph. Odessa was completely isolated.
Railway traffic was at complete stand
still, the lines being blocked by drifts
averaging twelve feet deep for miles,
ard the shipping trade of the port was
temporarily paralyzed in consequence.
Only the efforts of whole army corrs
of soldiers, placed at the disposal OF
the railway management by this mill.
tary authorities, succeeded in clearing
the main lines and siding4 and in re.
establishing communication after work.
ing necessarily night and day for three
weeks.
Even in the environs of Odessa itself
the extraordinary snowstorms claimed
scores of victims, many peasants and
even whole families of the working class
being found frozen to death. The
owners of property in the towns were
especially unfortunate. 1t has been
estimated that the carriage of the
masses of snow from the streets and
public places Of Odessa cost nearly half
million rubles, every copeck of which
came out of the pockets of the property
owners. 1t is expected that great loss
of life and property will be caused by
the spring thaw when it comes.
