PoLITIcs appears to have become
dormant in Delaware, and each
faction is awaiting for the other to
move first. When the nominations
are made at Chicago, it will be
time to start the ball rolling, and
we hope that each Republican
shoulder will not be too sore to lift
its full share of the load this will
of course depend upon whether a
square deal is given to all interests,
and as every vote will be needed to
carry the ticket in November, no
sane set of men will attempt to
throw down any individual or set
of individuals, but meet the condi-
tons fairly and honestly.

Since the control of this paper
has been in the hands of the pres
ent editor and proprietor, we have
necessarily urged every Republi-
can to unite in harmony and peace.
Particularly since the primaries on
April 4th has this been the case.
We have pointed almost weekly
why such harmony was necessary
and desirable, and had begun to
believe that our efforts along this
line were about to bear fruit. But
now comes along one or two party
men with the advice to the present
Committeeman that no Republican
who was dry at the November cleo
ton should be recognized in any
Of the appointments to be made in
this district this year, and they al
so desire to prevent the recognition
of former leaders who have consid- |
cradle influence The Committee
man himself, vouches for the truth |
of this statement. Now if this ism |
about the limit. Here are one or
two sorehead "wets" who are try
ing to get revenge over a matter
that was settled last year. The
business has nothing to do
with this years election, and it Ger
tainly looks upon the face that these
vets don't care a hang about
party unity so long as they get re-
venge npon the "drys." Does any
man with common sense think that
such methods as that are calculated
50 prevent trouble. Could any
hing be done that is any more cal
to bring about strife and
dissatisfaction IF there is we
would like to know what it can be.
There was enough hard feelings
asst year over this whiskey matter,
nd now is certainly no time to en-
.eavor to bring it up in any way,
hape or form. We cannot and will
lot countenance any such politics
5 this, and shall do all in our
over to knock the bottom out Of
ny such schemes. And in this
re shall have the support of every
who is interested in the
arty's success. The present Com
will mot he led b,,s o-,v,I
1ch persons as these. He realizes
lat harmony is essential and alb
2lutely necessary, and has work
/ along these lines. And now
II some soreheads to put up that
ind Of a bluff is certainly most ex-
operating and annoying, and is
Itremely detrimental to the party's
lterests. -Delmar News.

THE crying evil in taxarion il
Delaware is the present method o
levying school taxes. The town.
are paying double the taxes thai
the rural districts do, and they are
compelled to receive the children
from the rural districts into their
schools for a sum far below what
they are paying to educate the
children coming to them. But the
people who have heretofore been
most bitter in their OPPOSITION to any
change in the methods of raising
the school taxes, will be surprised
to learn Of the cute tricks practiced
in some districts, to make the non
resident land holder pay for build
ing, or making Improvements to
the school houses. In one instance
we have learned of a district COM
posed Of almost every voter a renter,
horses have been valued at S., a
COW at So, and the rental value
slightly increased, with the result
that the renter pays but a small
part of the tax on his stock, while
the nonresident land holder pays
the bulk Of the taxes. This is
right from the renters standpoint of
view, for the reason. that he should |
not be expected to assist in build
ing a school building in a district |
from which he may remove the fol-
lowing year; hence the land owner
who has no vote in that district is
compelled to bear the cost of build |
ing and repairs, although he may I
be- unconcious of the true condition
of affairs. The school tax should
be levied by the Levy Court at
fixed sum for all parts Of the county
on each hundred dollars of arsess-
ment, and be paid out to each
school according to the number of
weeks the school is kept open. This
will insure the collection of all
chool taxes promptly and their
in equitable amounts.
'he next legislature will have this
uestion to meet, and it will be
,ell for the people to think over
lie propositions before hand, and
least realize the true situation as
now exists.
