A ElNE srArE oE AFFAlRs.

We print today a story OF the manner
in which a number Of rural mail routes
IN Sussex County which had been au-
thorlzed by the Postohice department
have been abandoned. apparently for
political reasons.
These routes were authorized after
petitions numerously signed had been
fled and az the urgent request Of Sen
ator Alice. Ci service examinations
at various points were held after the
proper advertisement and the success
ful candidates in due time received
their commissions. They even filed
bonds and some Of them purchased,
horses and wagons preparatory to the
work.
Then their commissions We're sud
denly revoked. and the whole project
was abandoned. The reason appears
to be because all OF the Union Repubh
can applicants, save one. failed to pass
the examination. Those who succeeded
were Regular Republicans and Demo-
Gratis.
when this fact transplred there f.
said to ha G been agitation among the
Union Republicans. and word came
from Dover TO secure remonstrances
against the establishment Of the routes
We are informed that these petitions
contain mostly gus names, az almost
everybody had previously asked for the
routes
Anyway, the matter was held IN
without explanation from either Sem
ator Alice or the Postoffice Department
and very properly there are many per-
sons in Sussex who are enraged. IN

unless these routes can be made to
contribute to the success of the ma

and the threat Of an investigation have

Judging from the number OF complaints
which reached this office the collection

4iOj Complaints of the non-colIection of
garbage were received at this office dur
ing the year. Many of these people made
the second third and often fourth COM
plant before their garbage was removed.
Another SERIOUS feature of the
garbage question is the collection of gar
oage by parties other than the contractors
employed by the city. During last sum-
mer and autumn at least 30 per cent. of
the garbage collected in Wilmington was
collected by farmers and parties having
