A NEW DEMOCRATIC MOSES.

HE new knight to lead the Democratic forces
4 against Bryan at the next convention IS
Northumberland Chanler, of New York
State. His only qualification for the hieh place
for which he is mentioned is that he was elected
lieutenant governor of that State. Along with
the Chanler boom comes the report that Colonel
Bryan is not anxious to get the nomination and
forbids organized effort in his behalf. Therefore
1t is argued that Bryan will not be offended should
some other Democrat be chosen. Chanler. il i,
stated, will have the New York delegates behind
him, and Tammany will approve him as its
presidential candidate. This will be interesting
news to w. R. Hearst who, with his friends is
said to control the State Democratic ORGANIZATION

THE BOOZE BATTLE.

IT HE general campaign over booze in this
Il State appears to be on in earnest. Both
sides, the "wets7 and the "drys," are firing their
paper bullets at each other the statistical machine
is busy, and from now until the electon-uness
the law is declared unconsttutional-there will
be a great deal of talk about the liquor question.
SO far both sides appear to be conducting the
campaign fairly. The temperance folks are hurl-
ing texts from Habakiah at their opponents, and
the license folks are printing tales about drunken
men climbing up boaconstrctors in Kansas,
showing that the alleged Blind Tiger or
"speakeasy" booze obtained in that State or near
by turns men into animal falirs The campaign
will be Illuminating if nothing else
The fight on one side is Of course sentiment,
and on the other it is an effort of men desiring to
preserve their business. But who decade ago
would have believed that there would be at this
day such battle in Delaware? Twenty years
ago there were two controlling factors in Della
ware political life The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company and the forces Of General Booze said
the word and things were done. Now General
Booze is fighting for existence and the railroad
company, with its weather eye on the State Sen
ate and the little coere necessary to control can

The campaign may develop some live person
alities. The Hon. A. r. Spaid seems to be dig
ging pretty hard, and with his fight over the
school Of methods at Dover his attendance on his
duties as superintendent OF the schools, his
threatened joint debate with William John
Hogan his temperance agitation, he is really a
busy man.
The Hon Frank Wheen, Of Smyrna, is leading
the writing battery of the assailants of Fort
Booze And he is keeping it up unmindful of the
fact, as he states that clerical committeeman
passes him by with job printing which goes to
man who is not so pronounced.
The Hon. Robert II. Wilson is always interest
ing, and we hope he will recover his health so
that he could be more interesting But Colonel
Wilson has discovered that poker game is being
played in the State capital, aud he threatens to
turn upside down the prominent men" who are
nightly working their chips right under the noses
OF the prohibition leaders. This is an evil. he
thinks, as well as liquor is.
Colonel Wilson, however should not switch
over from booze to poker chips

First. a single track. IL there had been

Second the murderous death trap known
as a "day coach" in which the common

we read "The heavy Pullman sleeper

again we read "the passengers in the
Pullman sleeper aroused from slumber

HIGHER PRICED CALICOES
Manufacturers Are Now Charging Civil
War Prices for This Fabric.

calicoes. the most widely used Of dress
materials and the cheapest, have gone up
to Civil War prices, the manufacturers
having advanced the retail quotation for
prints as they are called in the trade
to ten cents. II IS the highest
figure since 1866. Not much more than
a year ago these same calicoes cost as low
as four and five cents a yard.
Owing TO the high cost Of all cotton and
other dress fabrics there is ap enormous
demand FOR the relatively cheap cal'coes

EQUITABLE TAXATION.

II THROUGHOUT the country there is consd-
\ cradle discussion of various schemes OF
taxation. Down in Louisville the leading Repub
lioan paper of Kentucky urges the people to think
of the proposed income and inheritance taxes.
There is everywhere demand for equitable taxa
ton, and the Louisville Herald points out the
well-known fact that wealth does not bear its
share of the taxation Of the country. The foun-
dation OF just taxation is that the citizens should
pay according to their ability for the support OF
the government. That isthe theory, but how far
do we deviate from the theory in practice? The
common practice seems to be that the poorer
man is, provided he owns some property, the
greater share Of taxation should he bear.
The taxation problem is always live one, and
it should especially interest the people Of Dela-
ware, where a commission has been appointed by
the governor to consider the whole subject OF
taxation. The commission has not been busy OF
late, but, doubtless with the coming of cooler
weather, sessions Of the body will be held 1t has
large and important labors to perform Delaware
should have equitable taxation and the taxpayers
in general should let the commission know that
they are interested in their dongs.
