THE local option question for the
next two years has been laid, by the
judges declaring the bill providing
for an election in Kent county, un-
constitutional, and any election
held under it would be null and
void. This disposition of the trou-
blesome question is satisfactory to
all concerned; with possibly few
exceptions; but it does not lay the
question of local option; or, rather
the submission of the question to
the arbitrament of the ballot box at
the hands of the people. We be-
lieve that the Union Republicans
should have lived up to their plat
form, and have passed a Just and
fair law for the people to act upon
for the district where the represen-
tatives petitioned for the privilege. |
We also believe that the liquor peo-
pie are making a mistake from their
standpoint, by not permitting the
people to vote upon the question,
and having it settled once for all.
Governor Lea has acted wisely in
calling upon the judges; it saves
the county thousands of dollars in
preventing the holding of an cleo
ton that would be of no force or
effect in the matter, and thereby
holding the State up to ridicule.

Letters to the Editor.

Mr.. EDITOR:-One OF your writer's wrote OF
Chinese emigrants as eur laborers. Ques-
toned the wisdom OF emigration stoppsge.
Is the American nation a a lame dog % be
carried over stiles, by the Chinese or other
nations?
1 In no unfriendly spirit toward any. here or
there,I ask why we should send away for aid.
/ Are other countries absorbing our own work
men. or are we the dependent nation Of all
the earth.
we have vast Industries; but we have also
multitudes of Inhabitants, foreign and native.
Shall we go over the waves for labor, and let
our oltiznes remain and turn tramps2
Why aren't we able to climb the labor stile {?
We have great numbers who are not work
ers: but work makers-the infirm In mind or
I body. Perhaps both. The very young; the
Professionals; thousands OF students and
people who are above ~ work. / would ask
if-accOrding to mum bers-we have a greater
per centage OF the above mentioned classes,
than other nations? A few weeks ago, 1.-The
Sentry" called attention TO the surfeit supply
OF lawyers DOCTORS artists aud teachers;
10 the ornamental an Impractical" trend Of
the majority, in our educational system.
And the neglect Of the "plain and useful"
Stnbb0r-facted. too generally ignored, but
1.-The Sentry's" pen treats the subject elO-
quently.
In spite OF the "lame and the lazy must
our "S0,000,000" Inhabitants call for Chinese
labOrf Isn't the installation OF cheap labor,
sure to rob our poor and give to the rich
(fhe common custom OF skinning labor to
bedeck capital).
From among the neighbors Of the employ
ers OF Chinese ofthe far west, comes this tes-
timOny:
Those who are calling for willing Work
ers, are those who ire not willing to pay de-
cent or living wages for work done.
Bat are those who want to get two DAYS
work out OF the hireing, for less than the
price for one days work,
And whoever said that for 81 sent home /
they expend five here for living expenses, 4
must either be very ignorant or wilfully mis- I
representing the matter:
As their manner OF living forbids such a |
thought There are many willing Workers |
who are anxious to get work, and seek ia vain |
for 10.
Why? Because there are more workers
han work done, and so very many who hire
want only such persons as can do two days
work in one day.
The bulk OF employers want none but hus-
lers TO work for them. IL Is not how nice
Tor WE'LL nor honestly they work:
But how much they can slap through and
lold together for awhile"
Which do we need mos, more people to en-
10y; or better methods with those already
ere? SCoUT.

What of the Fruit :?

Up to last Tuesday night, this
part of Delaware had one of the
best prospects for a full crop Of
peaches, in the history of peach
growing; but that promise is
blasted, and from all sources re-
ports of great damage and almost
total loss are coming in. The mer-
curry reached 28 degrees above zero,
while a white frost and frozen
ground accompanied the fall in tenn
perature, which has made the bright
prospect a sad disappointment to
the growers who depend upon fruit.
From a personal examination OF
our orchards made yesterday morn
ing, we found varying conditions.
In the lower ground, the kill is al
most complete, while the same va
rieties on higher land gave fair
percentage of live buds, The lat
ter were generally those that had
not opened fully, and appeared to
be about evenly divided over the
trees. The buds on old Elbertas
were in the best condition of any,
while Old Nixon and Thurber may
have a quarter of crop on the
high ground. Some buds were ]
found on all varieties that were
living; but it now looks as if the $
crop would be only sufficient to i
supply the local demand. Pears of F
he Keiffer variety show but little n
injury, while the Bartlett is almost D
Ill killed. Plums are badly hurt, p
1ut the strawberries are not ad- 4
,anced sufficient to do them much /
injury. 1t is safe to say, that Del 3,
ware will have a very small crop Of
# peaches to send to the city mar IA
Zets this year. q

BAsE BALL.

Last Friday afternoon two teams Of
local boys crossed bats at the Athletic
Park. The Yanigans a team composed
of boys from the Grammar School, were
beaten by the Regulars, who was made
up Of three boys from the High School
and three from town total of six.
The game was very interesting from
start to finish, as w. Pettyjohn the
cratic spit ball twiler, who was knocked
out Of the box last Saturday week by
the Yanigans, was serving them up for
the Regulars and what he did to those
Yanigans was to get very sweet revenge,
he letting them down with one hit.
The game was we'll contested, not a
man on the Yanigans side reached first
base until the fifth inning, and only one
getting as far as third base during the
entire games During the mean time the
Hanigans were holding the Regulars by
their work in the in-field, but in the last
half of the eighth inning the Regulars
landed on II. Pettyjohn, who had re-
placed Dickerson in the box, for one run
which proved enough to win the game.
