THE campaign in Delaware may
be said to have opened with the
mass meeting held at Dover last
Monday, at which United States
Senator Charles Warren Fairbanks,
the Republican nominee for the
Vice-Presidency, made an address
that set forth the issues clearly and
set men to thinking. Senator Fair
banks Is one of the most charming
-of speakers and he spoke directly
to the point and kept the record Of
the Republican party for his text,
and as the Morning News ex-
pressed it
Mr.. Fairbanks is no stump mountebank
like too many OF the Democratic apostles ei
calamity and prejudice. He Is a man ofsterl.
ing intelligence, and fully alert TO the neces-
sity OF the people Of the United States decid-
ing to continue the Republican party in
y
by reason OF the existence of what may be
called unfinished business" on hand, begun
by the Republicans and only to be completed
satisfactorily by them. When Mr.. Fairban ks
speaks for the Republican party, and met
dentally for himself he is In no sense 10 be
taken as personal pleader. His voice and
his time would have been given just as freely
were some other man occupying the position
OF candidate for Vice-President.
He is speaking to his fellOw-citizens and
to the American people generally through
printed reports Of his speeches. with the view
solely Of securing a continuance Of the days
Of prosperity that came when Mckinley was
first elected, and which have continued ever
since, in spite Of some slight interruption
here and there. AS an exponent Of Republi-
can principles there is no man better quail
ded to speak than Charles Warren Fairbanks.

THE early outlook for the tomato
crop in this section was such, that
the Gamers prepared less than the
usual number of cans for the sea
sons pack, and as a result there
has been a great demand on the can
manufacturers to supply the short
age. AT the time the reports of a
short crop were made, the ripening
season was scarcely at hand; and,
the yield from the vines last week,
has shown that while the general
crop may be some short, the pro-
duct per acre will not fall belo y
that of an average crop. In some
fields the crop is poor but in others
it is good, hence the average will
be the prevailing conditions in this
part of Delaware.

THE result of last Saturday S reg
istration showed that the Demo
Gratis were making the effort of
their life to get out their voters,
and the results also showed that
the money to register the vote was
in circulation. The constitution
of the State makes it a misdemea-
nor to influence any man to regis
ter by giving him anything of
value, and as the men came up in
droves for practically the first day
for Democrats to register, the
thought was suggested, how many
of the leaders and workers of the
Democratic party could hold up
their hands and proclaim truth
fully, that they were not guilty of
breaking the fundamental law of
the State of Delaware ? Not one.

TIE conference held last Friday
at Dover between the anti-Addicks
Republicans and the Union Repub-
icans, resulted in nothing. The
Regulars made the astonishing pro-
pOsal of taking down their entire
ticket and then submitting FIVE
names for the Union Republicans
to select a candidate for governor
from, and then to chose alternately
the balance of the ticket, giving to
the Union Republicans the first
choice. This petty politics is rap
idly becoming disgusting, and it
is now very plain that the whole
matter should have been fought
out two years ago, when so much
was not at stake. If a coalition is
to be made,it is high time that the
voters knew something about it.
The time for trifing has passed.

THE peach orchards of Kent
county have been very profitable
to their owners. We say Kent
county, because it was in that
county only that full crop of fruit
was harvested from the trees.
About Milford there was less than
a fourth of a crop, a result ac-
counted for by atmospheric condi-
tions prevailing during the fertili-
cation period of the blooming sea-
son, which caused the blasting of
the buds. The average price for
fruit has approximated ffty-fve
cents per basket, and peaches can
be said to have brought at least a
quarter of million of dollars into
the State. Now appears to be an
auspicious time for setting the
choice varieties of peaches; but no
man who does not give careful at
tention to the growth of the trees
should start in The business.

The Morrison administration has
once more shown its contempt for
the American laboring men and
women by discharging the white
cooks at the Idaho Soldiers Home,
and installing Chinsmen in their
places. The account of the change
is thus told by the Capital News;
Mr.. and Mrs. S. P. Holloway, who
were employed as cooks at the home
for the past two months, were dis
charged one week ago today because
they ate their meals In the kitchen.
This interesting bit OF informA-
ton was brought to the city yester-
day when some of the old soldiers
came to town to get something to eat
which WAS cooked by white people.
A Capital News reporter investigated
the matter thoroughly this morning
and found that the story told by the
soldiers was correct and that two
Cinnamon are lords of the kitchen
where the food is cooked for sick
and MANNED men who risked theil
lives on the altar of Freedom fol
their country's sake.
No reason is given why the gentle
man and his wife were discharged
further than that it pleased the com
mandant, who was appointed b,
Governor Morrison, to do so. Their
was no complaint from the old sol
diers as to the cooking, and 80 ia
as could be ascertained there was nj
complaint from either the command
ant, or the matron with the manne
IN which they were doing their work
