Mr.. TOWNSEND.
want you to make some changes in
your last paper about the road leading n
the cemetery. In regards to that water
hole being stagnant, it never was until
last year, when Mr.. Jones emptied abopt

it and raised a smell. And the road 7
bought J of an acre, with the understand
ing that ! was to give II #. of it.

was in 1879. As for the road being
opened three quarter of century. is false
as l moved the fence from the old road
which stood in my field, and put it where
1t now stands. As for Mrs. Mollie John
son, she has never paid one dollar for the
ground, it belongs to me, just as yours
does to you.
As for Mrs Marshall being willing. is
also false, for she has worried herself
sick over it; because should it 20 through

No party or faction will welcom,

bribery from our elections, with
more sincerity than the Union Re-
publicans of Kent and Sussex count

five years, and by the use of the

THERE is a voluntary movement
to consolidate several public schools
in eastern Sussex county, so that
four districts may have the advan-
tage of graded school; and as each
will have to build new school build
ings this coming year, it is very
proper to make the experience now.
The plan will probably reduce tax
alton for maintenance of schools to
these districts, as three teachers will |
be able to accomplish much better
work, than the four could do under
seperate schools.

THE Lewes Pilot is evidently
"agin" any attempt to bring about
a better public school system in
Delaware; if its last weeks issue is
to be its standard to judge by. 1t
belittles the efforts of the County
School Commissioners and the Sup
erintendent of Publics Schools to
improve the conditions of some of
the old and inadequate school
buildings yet scattered over the
country, and incidentally rings the
changes on "mixed schools" as a
method to mislead and prejudice
the people against rural consolida-
ton. 1t is towards attact on the
proposition to advance the rural
schools; aud for this the editor ofI
the Pilot should hang his head in
shame, for taking refuge behind
this delusion. If you have no ar
gument to make against rural con-
solidation of the schools; be a man,
admit your impOtency, and tell the
public exactly what motives are at q
the bottom of your opposition.
They can only be sordid, penurious ,
and purile. Any publisher who y
has looked the matter fairly in the fl
face admits the advantage of rural B
consolidation of the public schools "
Some of the rural schools are from h
iair to good, but there are manv lo
which would get better results from -

OF HENRY sussMAN AT
MINNEAPOLIS.

Minneapolis, Dec. 19.-The jury in
the case of Henry Sussman, on trial
for the murder of his wife in the Glen

a verdict of murder in the second de-
gree. This, under the statute, carries
with it a life Imprisonment penalty.
Sussman, in court prior to the an

wal under a great v strain. He
had partially recovered himself when
taken out of the courtroom and was
heard to remark:
This is a h Of a Christmas
present to give a fellow"
Notwithstanding this expression the
opinion is that Sussman was relieved
O hearing the verdict.
The jury at the outset were divided
into three sections-one favoring muir
der in the first degree, another 'mur-
der in the second degree and q third
manslaughter in the first degree.

Opening Of Short Session.
With the customary formalities and
in the presence of galleries crowded
with spectators the senate and house
of representatives, comprising the Fiji
ty-ninth congress, assembled Dec. 8.

was not sent in, however, until the
next day, and the house adjourned ear
~ out Of respect to the memory Of
members who had died during the re-
cess. The temperance Of New York's

en- by fifty years OF public praise.
In the senate the negro troops issue
was forced into prominence, contrary
to the usual courtesy of doing moth
ing before the reading of the presi-
dents message. Two Republican sen
ators, Penrose Of Pennsylvania and
Foraker of Ohio, introduced resolutions
demanding from the president full in
formation regarding his discharge of
the battalion of negro troops.
Later the senate passed these reso-
buttons without the formality Of a roll
call, although there was some sharp
discussion over the customary provi-
sion "if in his judgment it is COM
patible with the public interest,""
which occurred in the Penrose reso-
luton, but not in Foraker's. Senator
Foraker was particularly severe In
his remarks on the presidents action,
remarking that III the president can
dismiss a battalion he can dismiss a
regiment or the entire army" and
asked what was the use Of congress
raising an army If the president could
with the stroke of his pen disband it.
He also said that Major Blocksom's
report was the most fimsy testimony
on which a conviction was ever based.
Defeat Of PiIotase Bill.
Just as the house machinery was
fairly started, under the trained hands
of Speaker Cannon and his Republican
associates. and everything Yves moving
along smoothly, there came . sudden
and unexpected jolt In the effort to
turn out a bill which had been intro
duced by Littlef1eld to remove discrim-
nations against sailing vessels In the
coasting trade. The seamen's union
was opposed to 1t, and. although It
passed on the informal vote, the roll
call disclosed 1914 against it and 10
for. it. much to the surprise and dis
pleasure Of the house leaders. It
was generally regarded as q victory
for organized labor.
esvsridss's Child Labor Bill.
One Of the most interesting features
Of new legislation proposed was the
bin introduced by Senator Beverage
to prohibit carriers Of interstate com.
merce from transporting products OF
factories and mines which employ chill
dren under fourteen years OF, age. 1t
requires that no products thus condi-
TONED shall be transported until the
owner or agent of the factory OF, mine
producing them shall file with the car
rier proof that the provisions OF the
act have been compiled with. and the
AFFIDAVIT is, to be renewed every SIX
months. The provision for violation is
a. fine Of from $1,000 to $4,000 upon
the agent of the carrier or imprison-
ment from one to six months. Prior to
the opening of the session Senator
Beyeridge in a public address had de-
clared that child labor breeds blind
hatred and that If the evil continued
the country would be cursed with a
million Hooligans and that after thor
ough study of the matter and consulta-
tion with the ablest constitutional law
yers he was satisfied that his bill would
stand as law.
Tho Cabinet Nominations.
another break with precedent was
the sending In Of cabinet nominations
on the first day Of the session and be
fore the transmission Of the presidents
message. It was also remarkable that
