George W. Duncan, keeper of one Of
the Port Penn lights, was in town Tues
day and reported that he never saw SO
much ice in this season of the year as
now, yet u large number of vessels
were able to 60 out Monday. South

roads are badly blocked with snow. He
thinks the Levy Court should provide
for clearing the roads.
Strangely enough, the storm did not
damage peach trees much in the neigh
borhood of Port Penn. 1t did, how
ever, damage apple and maple trees.
Port Penn fishermen are preparing to
resume their work in the bay. They

The "smoking OUT of rraltora,

We are glad to note that at last there
appears to be an understanding between
the Smyrna Call and the Dover Index
with respect to the formers smoking
OUT policy towards Democratic
traitors. The Call has stated that il
means only traitors, and not indepen-
dent voters, and to this the Index gives
hearty concurrence, as follows:
II there be persons who have been
active in the councils Of the Demo
cratic party; linen who are in the nay
of II political opponent; men who trade
for cash upon the plans of the party
workers; men who endeavor to SOW
dissension in Democratic districts that
the enemy may profit thereby. and
finally men who cast direct vote for
Mr.. Addicks by supporting legislative
candidates pledged to him, " let them
be debarred from the councils of the
party, if the charges be proven against
them. The Index viii sustain the
Call in any proper effort it may make
in ascertaining the traitors and prov
ing the charges against the culprits.
The Index maintains that the Smyrna
Call should name the Democratic
traitors, but we think this is hardly
necessary, unless they attempt to con
tinue their traitorous work, when it
will be well to expose them by name
AMI station But the Index's sugges-
tion that they be not admitted to the
session Of the Kent County Democratic
Committee, which will be held next
Thursday, is sound and pertinent. The
line should be drawn faulty at the door
of the committee room.

One OF the most persistent and ex-
citing campaigns for an official position
is that now being conducted before the
Republican Trustees of the Poor for
the position of superintendent of the
| almshouse. There are numerous appli-
cants, and there is more wire pulling
and devious manipulation in progress
than would be employed in campaign
for the Office of United States Senator
And yet the position is not one of the
most attractive in the world, by reason
of the unpleasant character of the
duties devolving upon it, although the
compensation is very fair. But, how
ever this may be, the fight is fierce,
and no canvass for this office during
the long period that tho board OF
trustees was Democratic body begins
to equal it. Is it an instance Of what
may be expected in the way of scram-
bles after Office wherever the Republi
cans happen to succeed Democrats in
| control?
