 In conclusion will state that the Tax Article, as reported by the Committee, was intended as a pro-school propost- ton, and that it's merits will be dis cussed upon the floor of the Conven- ton, where alone the delegates can properly discuss its merits or demer- visions are such that 1t will, by provid- ing more funds for schools. lessen the opportunities for tax-evasion. on the one hand, and on the other, reduce the fund for improvident appropriations.

THE PRESIDENTS ASSASSIN

Some time during tie week be-
ginning on Monday, October28th,
Czolgosz the assassin of Presi-
dent Mckinley will be conducted
to the death chamber and in the
presence of only two or three
witnesses, will pay the penalty
of his crime by electricity.
Since his immurment in the
State prison he has been kept in
almost solitary confinement and
only once or twice has any word
come from him to the public.
This has been a severe punish
ment to a man of his class who
seeks in notoriety, kind of re-
compense for the suffering he
has endured and must yet meet.
The little news from his prison
points inevitably to the fact that
the man has lost a great part of
his nerve and the indications are
that the words of his jailer will
be verified. He will have to be
dragged forcibly to the electrical
chair.

SEVENTH STREET BRIDGE

EUerg EUening takes issue with
THE TRANSCRIPT when it says
that nothing remains for the
Levy Court to do, but to pay the
balance" due on the contract for
the Seventh Street Bridge.
E0eTy EUe1aieg claims that they
should more fully investigate
the contract and then decide the
case upon the results of the in
vestigation. Such would, we
agree, be the proper plan of pro-
cedure. But the combine"
which controls the present Levy
Court has announced by The
adoption of the report of the
committee that the bridge is
built according to the plans and
specifications. This being the
case, we repeat nothing re-
mains for the Levy Court to do,
but to pay the balance of the
contract price" And nothing
else will be done except to have
Mr.. Fahey, the contractor, to
build the approaches and pay
him for the work. Mr.. Fahey
has already received his orders
from the bridge committee and
is at work on the approaches,
and says that he expects the
Levy Court to pay his bill.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY

The prospects now are tina,
within a few days the two lower
counties viii have established a
system of rural free delivery.
that will enable practically every
resident of the rural parts OF the
counties to have his mail matter
brought daily to his door. The
plans provide that every carrier
shall be a complete post Office on
a small scale, selling stamps, re-
gistering letters and packages,
issuing and paying money or
ders, and collecting mail. This
will be a long step in advance
and will place Kent and Sussex
Counties far ahead of New Cas-
tie County. With the exception
of a few routes in the northern
part OF the county anu Inose
from Townsend, no effort has
been made to establish the sys-
tenn in this county. The reason
for this is that the farmers have
not asked it. We have no doubt
that should the proper request
be made, all the rural part OF
New Castle County would be fur
nished with the same facilities
accorded the lower counties. But
the initiative must be taken at
this end, as the Post Office De-
partment has plenty of demand
for this service.
