Yau suffer ne longer from pain nor from grief,
We hoped you would grow stronger,
Dear nother, we miss you, but know you're blest
We would not recall you from Jesus and rest
But while you are praising we weep for your leve,
And soon will be praying
To meet you up there.
Far Jesus will save Us If Him we will own,
And givo Him the praises that to Him belong.
Jesus so loves you We cannot refrain,
Goodbye, mother dearest,
We wilkneet you again.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

There is no doubt that a Sal
DOMINICAN treaty will be confirmed
by the Senate, but it will be so littl
like the original treaty first sub
mitted as to be unrecognizable by
its authors. The history of thi!
treaty is somewhat curious. The
! Secretary of State who has during
his eight years management of the
department achieved such a big
reputation as a diplomatist was i'll
and away from the department dur
ing the San DOMINICAN negotiations.
An Assistant Secretary,or shall we
say a journeyman in diplomacy,
bungled the job. The President
who thinks more of results than of
verbiage and whose time was much
occupied with other. matters per
mitted the paper to go to the SEN
ate as presented, and it is probable
that he is as grateful as he should
be for the careful scrutiny and
amendment that it has received
from that body of lawyers and strict
constructionists.
The death after three days ill
ness of the venerable Senator Bate,
of Tennessee, is so far the most
conspicuous fatality of Inaugural
tion day exposure. There are
many other less notable victims. 1t
is impossible under usual Fourth
of March weather conditions that
there shall not be many deaths
from grippe, pneumonia and other
diseases from exposure. When
one remembers that a simple vote
of Congress might change the day
of Inauguration from chilly and
boisterous March the Fourth to
April the thirtieth, the day
on which the first President was
S worn in, it is impossible to regard
Congress as other than guilty of
manslaughter through laches. On
every fourth of March at the Inau-
guration ceremonies hundreds of
thousands of people uuaccustomed
to exposure are in the weather
from FIVE to ten hours, often with
out food and it cannot be otherwise
than that many of them must sue
cumb.
The largest Congressional jun
kets of the summer will be one to
the Philippines, which is already
under discussion. Secretary and
Mrs. Taft will take party includ-
ing Alice Roosevelt, the eldest
daughter of the President, and it
IS proposed to use one of the U. S.
and make up a party |
of the persons mentioned,
Speaker Cannon and his daughter, |
and a number of Senators and Rep |
The object of the
party is to investigate all kinds of
in the Philippines in an
.icipation of tariff legislation affect
ng the Islands.

THE House passed a repeater Of
the law which permits the selling
of liquor in less quantities than one
quart to be drunk off the premises,
and places the grain distillers on
the same basis as the fruit distillers.
It will affect the distillery at Dover
in particular, and prevents the ho-
tells from selling in buckets or cans,
and makes other regulations.

THE bill to prevent corporal pun
ishment in the public schools that
passed the Senate has a proviso,
which permits corporal punishment
upon permission of the parents, and

THE very first legislation to cause
ripple of general interest was that
of last Wednesday afternoon, when
the House passed the local option
bill for Kent county by a vote oi
niAeteen to thirteen, and sent the
bill over to the Senate where it was
read twice and referred to the COM
mittee on education within ten
minutes after its arrival. This was
a body blow for the liquor people,
who thought they had the bill prac-
tically killed in the House. There
are two other bills on this point,
one for Sussex and the other for
rural New Castle, and there is no
reason to believe but that they will
pass the House by the same vote

THERE has been no change in

IT is almost impossible to con-
vince an obtuse man on any sub
ject, and especially on public mat
ter when his, or his friends inter-
ests may be affected, and this sp-
plies to the editorial writer in the
Lewes Pilot in regard to rural con-
solidation of the public schools.
He attempts to place the CHRoNI-
Gle in a position it has never as
sumed in this matter; but the Pilot
shows either willful misrepsesenta-
tion Of facts, or total failure to
follow the points on rural consoli-
dation we have made for months
past It's statements Of objection
to the scheme have been met by
practical experience of former Del
awareans living where the plan has
been in operation for years now,
with entire satisfaction to even
those who opposed it at FIRST. 1t
