LARGE REGISTRATION.

a LTHOUGH there has been talk of general
1 apathy in the political campaign, the fig
ures of the registration in this State show that
Delaware voters are qualifying in large numbers
to take part in the election. The registration in
this city is unprecedented, said to be owing
chiefly to the fact that the fee of dollar is not
required for registration purposes On the re-
manning day of registration no final rush of last
call voters is probable, as at former election
times.
Not only in this city is there already a great
registration, but reports from the lower counties
show a large percentage of the vote qualified In
Duck Creek hundred, for example, S44 names
have been placed upon the registration books,
and il is expected that the total registration in
that district will reach more than Iooo unusually
large figures.
Many voters unregistered at former elections,
because OF the fee and possibly for other reasons,
are qualifying this year. The vote in Delaware
promises TO be record-breaker. This large reg
istration in some of the close districts of the
lower counties adds more uncertainty to the re-
suit of the election in those districts. 1t is fair
to presume that each party will have its percent
age OF The additions to the registration.
Reports from other districts tell story similar
to that of Duck Creek. All of which means that
there will be a hustling time to win the voters.
The battle will by no means be quiet The large
registration points out to the political managers
the need of much activity and stirring. This will
be the first election under an absolutely free bal
lot. How different it is from the old Democratic
days when the object was not to get as large
vote as possible, but to prevent many citizens en-
titled to cast their ballots from exercising that
right.

GODS ACRE
By John N. pornsx.

Gods Acre" It's thus the sermons
say,
When they speak Of the place OF rest.
OF the narrow bed where we're still
for aye,
Be we bad, or good, or best
But then, as you know, our human
pride.
We carry along cen to the tomb,
And so oftimes when men have died
We ponder to pride amid the gloom.
The Fashionable. Cemetery
There's Gods Acre" mid the city's
din,
And the marble shafts are high.
'Tis strange, indeed in this world Of
sin
How the pride of the heart doth cry.
There's sculptured bust and towering
stone,
And praise in rhyme and prose,
All! me; Ali me. as / stand alone,
/ sorrow for human pride and woes.
Here's a shaft inscribed with bust and
name,
There's words OF praise and glory
said.
Tis thus they tried to lengthen fame,
Yet 'twere well for the world when
he was dead.
And yonder mausoleum it is grand;
Hark! how the wind through the
cedars sigh;
He was known for injustice through
out the land
And men felt relieved when he had
died
In the Blue Ridge
Down in the mountains Of Maryland
stand in Gods Acre" alone;
There's the peace of God" on every
hand.
And low and humble the sculptured
stone.
A hundred mounds, humble and low
The breeze sighs through the cedar
and pine;
/ think of them all, wherever l CO.
They were the best Of the Masters
vine"
Here the sisters of Charity" rest at
Ali me. Ali me. what life they
led.
Serving the poor, sick and outcast.
And now meath the cedars they sleer
with the dead.
No Scriptural stone, no mausoleum
grand
Tells how in this world they took
their post;
No sculptor is needed all over the land
Their memory is craven in many a
heart.
Alphonsal Mercedes. Angelal and
more,
Your work is engraved on heavens
bright stone
And hearts that are warning all the
world oer
Find peace in your memory when
they are alone.

some instances been already incurred
when the delinquent appears to pay
his taxes, and yet the government Is
unable to recoup itself for such eN-
penditure because the delinquent list
has not at the time been actually pub
rshed 1t is but fair that in all such
cases the delinquent should be requir-
ed to pay the outlay incurred See
Exhibit "A" section -, page 90.
Attention is called to the fact that
there are within the Territory certain
chtritable societies and hospitals rem
dering aid to orphans and to the sick
and existing for no other purpose, and
performing valuable public functions
in assuming a burden which otherwise
would be borne by the government,
which are deserving of exemption from
taxation,-as much so, perhaps, as the
two hospitals and the societies exempt
ed under Section 1921 of the Revised
Laws. The Commission makes no
specific recommendation on this sub
ject but leaves it with this brief men
! tion.

suggested in other jurisdictions that
the revenue from all such boards not
dealing with the sale of merchandise
or the property on which such boards
stand be considered by assessors in de-
termining the valuation, for taxation
purposes, of the land wherein such
boards stand All that need be here
said on the point is that under our
present laws it is the duty of assessors
in fixing the valuations of real estate
to consider all revenue from the
source mentioned.

ritory, showing the cost to the Terri

MINOR AMENDMENTS.
Section 1888 should be further
amended as to the paragraph next be
fore the last so that the same shall
read as appears in Exhibit &C., page 80,
section . The paragraph in question
relates to the publication of delin-
quent tax lists, and the amendment is
designed to facilitate the duties OF as

Sections 1854, 1856 and 1888 should

that eight hours of actual service on
any working day except Saturday, on
which day only five hours of actual

is done by contract or otherwise. The
Commission recommends that Section
1902 of the Revised Laws which pres
cribes that taxes due from poll taxes,
School taxes and road tax may be
worked out on the public roads at the
rate of fifty cents a day, of at least
ten hours work, be amended to dc

FEES AND CHARGES FOR DISlN.

AND FOR FILING ANNUAL
EXHIBITS Or SAME.
EXHIBITS OF SAME.

The statutes now in force exact a
fee of ten dollars to be paid upon the
fling of each annual exhibit of domes-
tic and foreign corporations This is
scarcely i'm keeping with the modern
DO icy of requiring the greatest possi-
BILE publicity concerning the internal
affairs of corporations, The filing of
exhibits, annual or otherwise, should
be encouraged and not made burden
some in any way 1t is therefore rec
commended that Section 2566A of the
| Revised Laws be amended by emitting
| from the schedule of fees the item re-
| lating to the filing Of annual exhibits.
Under existing statutory provisions
disinCorpoTatiOn is made somewhat
costly. Experience has shown that in
the great majority of instances corpor-
atiOns disincOrpOrate for the reason
that the business which they have
been conducting has been a failure
financially and that at the time when
they are DESTROYS of disincOrporating
the corporation has no funds or Other
property with which to pay the eX.
penses of disinCOrporation. Expert
ence under the present statutes has
further shown that in rare instances
| only has any stakeholder been founC
Wiling to pay the necessary expense
of the procedure prescribed. That eX
pense consists of a twenty-five dollar
/ fee payable into the Treasury as pres
cribed by Section 25GGA of the Revised
Laws of the Territory, and the cost o.
the publication of notice required by
Section 24GS Of the Revised Laws. The
! result of these provisions is that {

We have had moro or less trouble
in the matter of collecting for an
nouncements of candidates who
failed of election; it is apparent to
all that some candidate, where
there are more than one for the
same Office, must fail; the rule of
the printer is that announcements
must be paid cash with first inser.
ton; we have been indulgent and
allowed some of them inserted with
charge feature attached; and as
stated above have suffered some on
account Of it. Without intending
any reflection on any one, we are
going to stick to the rule, as it is
manifestly unfair to demand cash
of one and charge to another; SO,
from now on. we must insist that
the money accompany allannounce-
ments.
