Jlps would be employed, and that if th. propertv was this season put upon a paving basis even these few Jips woulI be conspicuous in their absence next year,
 Mr. Kirkland strongly deprecated the introduction of the "thin edge" as |. had ever been the case, when once the gates were opened to Oriental labor they could never te closed. He therefore moved a resolution of which the following Is the glsr

BOLD HIGHWAY ROBBERY
Elsie RushtOn and Myrtle Ryan Were
Robbed by Negro Girls Monday
Night Near The Court House.
THEY WERE HELD UP AT DUSK
Fortunately They Had Only a
Small Sum of Money in
Their Possession.
BUT THE EXPERIENCE WAS THRILLING

A bold highway robbery was COM
mitted Monday night about dusk within
a square of Tenth and Market streets,
when two small girls were held up by
two larger colored girls and robbed of
u poeketbook and ~ cents in money.
The girls who wore robbed are Elsie
Rushton, the 1o-years old daughter of
Harry +. Rushton of 1905 POPLAR street,
and Myrtle Ryan, aged ii years,
daughter of William Ryan of 1904
Poplar street.
Monday afternoon between and
) o'clock. Mrs. Ryan sent her daughter
to the gas company's Office to pay u
bill.
Elsie Rushton, VINO lives across the
street from the Ryan's went with her.
They went to the gas Office and paid
the bill, after which they went 10 the
Institute Free Library.
After being there few minutes they
left for their homes. When they reached
Tenth street between Marketand King,
on tho Court House side, two colored
girls, agst about IL and IL years, but
large for their ages approached the two
white girls ana asked them how much
money they had about them. The girls
did not reply, but started to walk on,
when one of the colored girls grabbed
the purse which Myrtle Ryan held in
her hand. Myrtle recovered the purse,
but the Icolored girl grabbed it back
again. Tho colored girls then began to
ask the two white girls questions about
where they lived and how much money
they had saved for Christmas. The
white girls did not answer them, being
too much frightened to say anything.
Finally the white girls stcceeded in
gctting away from the robbers and ran
home.
They told their parents that they
could identify the negro girls il they
saw them again. They said they have
seen the girls go by thoir houses often.
Although the colored girls did not gat
much money for their trouble, the.
succeeded in frightening the white
girls very badly.

The secret Ballot.

In an editorial alluding to the many
contests that now attend elections. on
account of disputes as to whether bal
lots have been wrongly accepted and
counted or wrongly rejected, the Cecil
Democrat says:
The secrecy of the ballot is pretty
effectually guarded by the Australian
system, but we do not believe in a
secret ballot. Voting should be done
by open declaration in the polling
Place. The secret ballot protects the
coward who 10 afraid to have anyone
know how he votes, and favors the liar
who promises one man and intends to
vote for another. and so We are opposed
to protection for either.
While we are not prepared to sub
scribe to this radical doctrine. we must
admit that every move in the direction
of secret ballot in Delaware has de
feated its 1wn object. Elections are
more corrupt in this State now than
they ever were under the old system of
promiscuous tickets printed by the
candidates and party managers, instead
OF by the State. The secret ballot was
instituted as safeguard against intimi-
dation and fraud. Under its operations
fraud has flcurished as never hefore.
The first move in the direction OF a
secret ballot in Delaware was made by
the Legislature of 1881. and it was in
stlgated by an act of coercion. At the
previous election the department suner-
intendent of large manufacturing con-
Germ in this city furnished men in his
employ with marked ballots, and di-
rected the election officers to report
whether or not these marked ballots
appeared during the count of votes. 1t
was understood that If they failed to
appear, the men to whom they had been
given would be discharged.
And SO the Legislature of 1881 en-.
acted law providing that ballots
should be Of q certain size, printed on
certain kind of paper, and should
contain no distinguishing mark what.
ever. Next came cur system of regis.
tration and the Australian ballot, 10th
designed to secure free, fair and honest
elections. And yet under these reform
provisions, enacted for the protection oi
the ballot, the tide of corruntion al
elections in Delaware kept rising, unit
II reached its enormous food Of last
Tuesday.
The subject is serious one. If thi,
amazing corruption is to continue, cleo
items in Delaware will become farce
The secret ballot has failed to effect
reform, and now the question is Wha
snail be done2
Inc citizen who successfully answer
TINS question will confer great anc
lasting benefit upon the State and th,
people.
