DOVER, Del, March 25-After much
confusion caused by rummaging about

noon passed the Soper Kent county

TWO OF THE LIGHTS.

MJE seriously object to the solemn intimations
that the Hon. Louis A. Drexler and the
Hon. William M. Connolly compose the
Legislature and that they are preparing TO ad-
journ. Such insinuations reflection upon
the other members of our General Assembly, and
would make one believe that not only do the
others fly away from Dover at nights but that
while there they dance to the iddling of Drexler
and Connolly. If we were our friend, Ad-
mral Alfred l.. Ainscow, we should force a man
who makes such assertions TO eat heavy mince
pies three times day for month"; in the hope
of improving his digestive and mental appara-
tus. How did this Drexler-Connelly combna-
ton of "limelightism" come about at any rate !?
What fault is it. If Colonel Drexer is voluble
and pretty and if Mr. Connolly as active as
young kitten. Why should they hide their tall
ents in a Sussex county corn bin? They have
had some experiences to be sure. Mr.. Drexler's
local option bill has been defeated and Mr.. Con-
neyy's Sunday ball playing bill received his own
vote Still, in enjoying minority of one, there
is some compensation. When Mr.. Connolly
wants to caucus with the Legislative friends Of
the Sunday bail bill, he will have trouble in
getting quorum. He can preside himself. make
the speeches and avoid all wrangling.
We are sure that other members Of the Leg
isature have been quite active. In fact, there
has been no Legislature in which larger per
ksptaee OF the members have taken part in the

II is not clear why there should be objection to
creating new polling places in legislative dis
tricts where they are needed. Yet there has
been, in several instances, division on party
lines when these matters have been considered
by the General Assembly. Polling places should
be established when they are a convenience to the
voters. In North West Fork Hundred there is
need for another voting place as it is said the
