from those who expect in future tc
hold the offices.
Members OF the Board OF Trade and
the people generally win approve his
interest IN the manufacturing and
commercial interests Of the State. The
best plan for the Legislature TO pur-
sue in dealing with that part Of the
message is 70 make a liberal appro-
priation to our Board of Trade to be
used for purposes Of advertising, and
promotion.
Here is a paragraph from the ad-
address which should govern the con-
duct Of every person exercising the
appointing power
Public officers are incident to Gov
ernment Under the Constitution and
Laws Of this State it is the duty Of the
executive TO fill certain offices by ap-
pointment In the performance OF any
duty in this behalf / shall insist upon
honesty, competency and fitness in the
applicant remembering always that in
this particular. l am responsible for
the character of the public service, the
character Of which means
much for the convenience and welfare
of the whole people"
If Governor Hum will pursue that
policy he will pass into history as one
Of the best executives that Delaware
ever has hau.
In conclusion we desire to say a
word or two concerning Former Gov
ernor Tunnel. He has been dlgnified
in all respects and his conduct has
done much TO elevate the office which
he held. While not aggressive or pos
tive in character he has demeaned
himself in such manner that he retirss
with the respect Of everyone; and the
same may be said OF his secretary of
state, James #. Hughes, who has been
his most excellent friend and ad-
wiser.

New Hampshire has decided to send to
the United States Senate statesmen in
stead of the unworthy little politicians
who now oppress and misrepresent so
many states. Bonanza Clark seems to
have captured the Montana Legislature,
Quay is apparently master of the stu

the meantime, New Hampshire is the rift

this article which will interest the
hundreds OF wheelmen in Delaware.
Among others the year 1900 was re-

cycle trade from the tyranny OF price.
Price will, OF course, continue to be
a factor, but it will not be the domi-

lesson and he will talk quality more

ballot will be required. No candidate has
n sure thing. however, in Illinois, Dela-
ware. Nebraska or Pennsylvania, and
