To Adiast the A.ssssmenls.

Seventy offices viii soon be given on
under new law, which goes into effect
in this state next month Fortunately
for the Democrats of this State, the law
requires that half OF the appointees shall
be Democrats aud half Republicans.
A board OF assessment revision and
equalization Is to be appointed in each
district OF the State for the purpose of
going over all the property and personal
assessments and readiusting them with
view to making the man with the $1,000
house pay accordingly while the holder
OF the $4,000 house will not have to pay
assessments on a $1,000 basis. There is
general belief that the operations of this
board will increase the assessed value of
properties in all counties, making the in
come from taxation greater.
This new law can be found on pages
ll6, III and l1s of the new pamphlet
laws, just issued.
The Levy Court Commissioners of the
several counties makes these appoint
ments, and they are to be made annually |
IN the month of December The appoint
ees must be competent judges OF real and
personal property and Especially of
buildings" as the law says.
Two each are to be appointed for each
hundred or assessment district and these
are to sit with the assessor, the latter
being the third member of the board.
The time of sitting shall begin with the
asst Tuesday in January in Wilmington.
New Castle and Sussex counties, and the
irst Tuesday in March in Kent county,
md each day thereafter that it is neces-
ary.
The place is to be the most convenient
'lace that can be found for the accommo-
ation of the taxpayers who may appeal {
'Otice of the sitting must be posted the !
revious month in at least i've public /
laces of the respective districts. Any
ssessOr failing to take his seat in the e
oard or furnish such data as is necessary
an be taken before justice and fined. r
As fat office the new board of revi- a
on is not exceedingly tempting. The b
tizens so serving are allowed So perdiem ]
r three days in each year, but if the Z
rvices require thirty days "The citi- h
ms so appointed shall serve without b
for all days after the first E
rec days" h

Brooks Resents HynsOn's Statement.

In the Sunday Star of November 10th,
George B. Hynson of Milford, made the
statement that S5 per cent Of the negro
votes Of Delaware we're cast for license,
and that they, with the lower element of
both parties, made up the vote which was
cast for license in Delaware on November
| 5th This has been resented by the Sea-
ford News especially, and by correspond
ents to several local papers, as untrue.
Last Sunday Prot John D. Brooks, Super
intendent of Public Schools for Sussex
county, published reply to Mr.. Hynson

gave the results of an investigation among
the colored schools and churches of Sus-

Activities In Eastern States Contro
Verts Stories of General Depression.
New York, Nov. 26. - Recent re-
sumption of industrial activity in the
eastern states controverts to some ex-
tent the stories Of general depression
that have gained circulation on az
count of the closing down, partially or
completely, Of many concerns. The
financial stringency throughout the
country had its natural reflection IN
partial suspension Of operations in the
chief Atlantic centers. but the fear of
a complete industrial depression has
not been realized. News was received
in New York of the resumption on full
time Of some industries in the New
England states and New York, and the
hope is that, with the general relaxa-
tion in the money market, this resump-
tion will be largely increased, and
that the eastern manufacturing sec
tion soon will experience a return 10
normal conditions.
Troy reports the outlook good for a
busy year in the knit goods industry
in Cohoes, one of the largest centers
of that work in the country. It is ex-
peced that the knitting factories in !
that city will be running full by Jan

Women as Equals Of Men.

Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker, of Denver
President of the General Federation O
Women's Clubs, made a new departure
in her address the other day before the
New Jersey State Federation, in Newark.
She took up the hitherto forbidden sub.
ject of woman suffrage, and declared that
the next step will be to put the mother
element into the national life.
"You may say there is a distinctive
place for men and place for women. So
there is, but there is far greater place
where they must stand hand in hand. In
Colorado there is now a toast, "Woman
once our superior, now our equal In
stead of thinking shat ridiculous, l con-
slider it the dearest toast there is. We
never asked to be the superiors of men;
we are partners and co-workers."
Mrs. Decker addressed her remarks to
the men in the audience, saying; "Some
of you gentlemen may feel little doubt
ful. There is a gentleman who told your
State Federation that we should not leave
our own sacred precinct Our precinct
has moved away. While the precinct of
Mr.. Ceveland's mother NAV have been
to make all her own butter and cheese
and do all her own spinning and weaving,
these sacred precincts have now gone to
the dairy, the packing house and the
factory. They have not gone in a stage
coach, either, but in an automobile, ard |
instead of woman sitting at home at her
own fireside, as Mr.. Schwab has said she |
should do, it behooves her to 90 out and |
zee what the sacred precincts are doing !"
"All women have not fresides, we
would tell Mr. Schwab. They do not
;row on trees. There are $4,000 women
low in New York who are supporting
heir hust 1ds." ."
Regarding women's duty as mothers,
,lrs. Decker said she had read in a re-
liable newspaper that "the Government
ever spent a dollar upon the child-labor
uestions, but it had spent thousands on
aCklDeIIlesi no" ~ leeu rice 10 pigs, 4
nd questions of agriculture" Mrs.
'ecker declared there was a bureau for
le protection and care of children with
OF woman in it, so that even that care
as being taken out of women's hands. 4
Mrs. Decker expressed a wish that
lere might be some some men as men, L
srs of women's clubs, since the work E
as getting more and more eco-educational, e
I'd she asked that the States walk y
Ioulder to shoulder in the great march g
ith the General Federation, in the up
Hiding of the nation. The Newark
sws says; 'Mrs. Decker carried her Z
dience with her"

Washington. Nov. 25.-The events
OF the past week in the financial sit

by the government to receive bids for
S5OOO00O0 In per cent bonds for
Panama canal construction and offers
at par for 100000, 900 in treasury GER

There was secrecy at the treasury
department as to the progress of the
fiotatiOn of the debt certificates and
the manner in which they were to be
allotted to national banks to the prac-
tical exclusion of individual investors.
The only information was to the effect
that the new certificates Of debt have
already made their appearance in the
treasury as security for circulation.
Additional national bank notes to the
amount of 100000 based on the new
certificates, were shipped to New
York, and other large sums are in
sight for shipment during the week
Among other engagements is one of

banks.
No one connected with the treasury
could let in any light on the situation. |
as Secretary Cortelyou keeps in his |
own hands all details respecting the |
hotatiOn of the debt certificates. He is
personally making the allotments and
exercising all his ingenuity to prevent
the certificates from falling into the
hands of private investors who cannot
give him assurances that they will not
call on the banks to furnish the cash
with which they propose to pay for
the certificates they seek to acquire.
There is reason to believe that the
plan of shutting out the individual in

The Parcels Post Propaganda.

The merits of the parcels post
have been presented and pressed
upon the attention of Congress by
successive Postmasters General with
insufiiclentefect. Postmaster Gen
eral Meyer evidently believes that
a public sentiment in favor of a
parcels post outside of Congress
would help the proposition in Con-
gress, and he makes his first appeal
to the public
We already have a parcels post,
but an imperfect one, and Mr..
Meyer merely proposes to improve
upon it, and that in a not very
radical fashion. Parcels go through
our domestic mails now at 70 cents
a pound up 70 the limit of four
pounds. By postal treaty with |
twenty-five foreign countries a
package weighing as high as eleven
pounds can be sent by mail from
this country by the payment Of I2
cents a pound Mr.. Meyer wants
this rule of our foreign postal ser
vice to be made domestic. He
wants Congress to enact a law by
which a parcel can go by mail from
Philadelphia to New York or to
San Francisco on the same terms
and under the same limitations as
now control its transmission to
Germany.
This is such a reasonable propOs-
al that it is not easy for a good ar
gument to be made against it, ex-
cept from the stand point of self
The express companies
oppose it because it is likely to S
lake some business from them. The
country storekeepers have hithe1- !
10 opposed it because it would fac q
litate mail order business from city
tores to the prejudice of their To- P
al trade. These country merchants P
ire host, but Mr.. Meyer has a a
lew proposition by which he ex- b
,ects to break down their opposi- ca
ion and secure instead their CO.
peration for his postal reform. 81
The Postmaster General sees that ci
be rural free delivery system can 10

TOTTENVlLLE.
FOR THE VOLUNTEERS.

There are quite a number OF bills
now before the legislature at Albany
relating to the volunteer firemen of
the borough of Richmond. Some of
these are to give the volunteer fire
men pay from the year 1898 until
their respective volunteer fire COM
panies were absorbed by the paid de-
partment of New York city, and
others are to provide for the future
of any volunteer fireman whose Or
ganizations are superseded hereafter
by the paid service. The other bill
by Mr.. DeGroot provides that the
board of estimate and apportionment
shall examine and allow the claims of
volunteer firemen who did duty In
the districts where they resided In
Richmond and Queens since 1898
until their companies were mustered
out to make way for the paid depart
ment. The bill says that. the board
shall allow affair and adequate COM
pensation for the services rendered
by the volunteer firemen. None but
bon a fide fire fighters are eligible
for benefit under this law, so that the
hundred of civil employees, who be-
came volunteer firemen just prior to
the extinction of the volunteer sys-
TEN and who never responded to an
alarm of fire, will not come in for any
benefits.
