In the death of Col. GEORGE 7

In the death of Col. George H.
Raymond Smyrna has lost a
valued citizen. Col. Raymond
was progressive and when he I'M
dertook any task, no matter if of
little Importance, he saw that the
work was accomplished. He was
a true friend to the poor and
needy and was ever willing to ex-
tend assistance to young men
starting out in life. Col. Ray
mond was in the Legislature of
1867 defeating his opponent, the
late Enoch Spruance, by over
600 votes. The deceased was a
sterling Democrat and business
man, when engaged in active
business pursuits, of recognized
ability. He was the founder of
the Fruit Growers Bank OF
Smyrna and for number of years
its president. His had been a
useful and busy life and he will
be missed by more than one man.
Col. Raymond was the only aged
citizen of Smyrna who had been
born and always lived in this
town.

Parents who have sons holding
a membership in a certain juve-
nile club here will save them
selves future trouble if they will
compel their boy to resign at
once from that organization with
wild west title. The young
men do not seem to recognize
the enormity of their offense, but
if such practices as they have
been INDUCING in are continued,
the perpetrators may not get off
SO easily next time.

Columbia is the pride of the
American people. Friday she
defeated Shamrock II for the
third time and the cup which we
have had in our possession for SO
many years will remain on this
side for at>1east another season.
The Columbia proved to be faster
than the Shamrock in any kind
of a breeze. Sir Thomas Upton
took his defeat gracefully. Rumor
says Scotland syndicate will
build a boat to contest for the
cup next year.

rolls around Kent's financial con-
dition will be similar to that of
Sussex County.
In parting with this subject
we would add that to compare
Addicksism with Saulsburyism
is SO ridiculous that we will not
parley with the Addicks hireling
who is paid to sling mud through
the columns of the Sentinel.
Might as well compare Cain with
Moses. The difference in the
two is about as great. Addicks-
ism stands for all that is low and
debasing. 1t has left a stencil
in the State that will not blow
over for years to come. Such
men as the Sentinel's editor are
followers of the gas man because
they were brought to the front
by the Claymont gentleman.
Were Mr. Addicks to suddenly
lose his wealth he would not
have a friend left in the Union
Republican ranks, in fact there
would be no Union Republican
party and the editor of the SEN
tinel would be the first Ito get
in out of the wet" Idiotic lies
promulgated and fostered by such
men as the emergency writer of
the Sentinel injure rather than
benefit Mr.. Addicks' cause.
The yelping cur OF the Sentinel
bowls against the CALL every
week, but his bark is worse than
his bite. Such whelps are no
good to themselves or any body
else. "My Cattle" Mr.. Addicks
terms them in Sussex, the home
of Gale.

AS OTHERS SEE us.

The Sussex Journal, dicussing
the serious state of affairs in Kent
County, brought ON by the ex-
travagance and prohigacy of Adj
dicks hencemen who are in con-
troll of county affairs, says:
"Sussex is not the only county
in the State that is being filched
by the politics-6nancial powers
that be. When the Democratic
Levy Court of Kent county was
superseded by the Addicks body
the county had a good cash bal
ance to its credit. 1t had paid
off considerable on the county
debt and the county financial af-
fairs were in good shape gener-
ally, but a different condition
confronts the Kent county tax
payers to-day. The cash balance
is gone, the county credit is gone,
the Levy Court is trying to Dor
row money to pay the running
expenses of the county, extrava-
gance in Office is rampant on
on every turn, and extravaganza
| jobs with pull are fast running
the county worse in debt and
more of it. 1t is this state Of
affairs all through the State. II
is bad plight. A gang that is
in politics for what there is in it,
is not to be trusted with govern,
ment affairs. But the people car
blame themselves. They made
the condition of affairs that con,
fronts them"
Yes, the people can blame
themselves, but the Kent County
voters now see the mistake they
made and in 1902 will kick th'
hooters out of Office. No one
realizes this fact better than tn,
Union Republicans, hence thei;
frantic efforts to cover up thei,
wrong doing.

1t is said Congress will take up
the trust question at its next ses-
sion. That is about all it will do
and the laboring people may look
for no reform. The Republican
party is hand in hand with the
trusts and the combines will con.
tinue to thrive by grinding the
poor man.

THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION
The triennial Convention OF
Episcopal bishops clergy and
laity is now in session at San
Francisco. One of the most i'm
portant subjects to be considered
at the convention is the re-mar-
riage of divorced persons, and a
stringent canon against such
marriages is being formulated by
a special committee. That the
report of the committee will be
accepted is the general belief OF
the delegates already assembled.
There is only one dissenting
member on the committee, with
eleven on the affirmative side.
The question of .Evising the
cannons relating to marriage and
divorce was taken up at the gen.
eral convention of 1893, held in
Washington, and was then re-
terred to a special committee OF
which the Rev. DR.. Morgan Dix,
rector of the Trinity Church Of
New York is chairman. 1t is the
report of that committee that re-
comments that no divorced per-
son be permitted to remarry in
the Episcopal Church. Hereto
fore the privilege of remarriage
has been granted to the innocent
party in divorce suit based on
certain grounds. The opinion Of
the committee is given that the
making of a uniform divorce law
in the United States is impracti-
cable.

An avalanche of anti-anarchist
bills is expected early in the COM
ing session of Congress, and the
Judiciary committees of the two
houses will have their hands full.
Coincident with the anti-anarch-
list legislation it is expected there
will be renewal of the agitation
for further restriction of immigra-
ton. This will lead to fight,
as a strong sentiment exists
against handling this question.
The friends of restriction, how
ever, are expected to come for
ward now with increased activity.
