to seize or condemn the undivided half

Editor NEWARK POST:
Some time last Fall | made an offer
through the Delaware Ledger, to be
one of several taxpayers to contribute
70 a fund for the purpose of ascertain
ing by means of preliminary survey,
the probable cost of sewering our
town. since which time have had a
competent sewer engineer here and
have ascertained that such work as
would be required would cost about
$4,000.
As our Council cannot appropriate
anything for such purpose, if we desire
to know about the cost of this sewer
system it will have to be in the shape
of contributions. | am sorry to say |
have only had two gentlemen who have
expressed willingness to help along
the cause.
As the weather will soon admit of the
survey, let us get together and see
Just what a sewer system will cost.
There are certainly twenty citizens
who have enough interest i'll our town
10 donate the $500 each for such a
commendable cause.
| would be glad to talk the matter
over with any citizen and give him
such information as have secured.
Yours respectfully,

Dear Sir:-Since HIS HONOR
THE M..iOR has invited criticism l
beg to submit the following questions:
Ist. WHY are town election laws
so imperfect that it is possible for the
President or member of Council to
purchase his election by the payment
of a years tax for non-property own
ers?
end. WHY is it that several thous~
ands of dollars have been expended
for street improvements on South
Chapel street by the Town Council for
the Continental Fibre Company and
that no money has been expended on
North College avenue to make that
street in good hauling condition for
the Jacob Thomas Company, thu
American Machine Company, n. War
ner McNeal and William R Kennedy?
ard. WHY was it that two large
contracts were given indirectly to a
Councilman, whose bid in excess Of
some Quiet DluS, WHCI d
is not supposed to take contracts from
the town? Is this what is known as
ORAFT?
Ath. WHY is it that the law was
passed prohibiting women to vote BY
proxie? While l grant that this may
have been abused to some extent, yet
would it not be far better for the
women property owners to have some
saw, than for the election to be con-
trolled bv the floating population, and
the affairs OF the town run to promote
enc particular enterprise instead of the
town in general?
sth. WHY was it that at the last
town election both white and colorec
voters, who had not paid town tax
for years, were escorted to the polls ir
an automobile, and by their votes con-
trolled the election for President
and members of Council who had the
expending OF ten thousand dollars fol
which property holders are liable!
have few more of these interest
ing Sparklets for HIS HONOR, as
soon as these are answered.

The Relation or. Delaware College
To The Stale Of Delaware

FOT tne past tnTee OF iOuT years
there has been considerable discussion
about The relation of Delaware College
to the State, and inasmuch as there is
to be public hearing before conf
mission appointed by the last Legisla-
ture to inquire into the title OF the
College and report to the next session
OF the Legislature when the charter of
the institution is to be renewed, or
made perpetual, it hai been thought
that it might interest the readers of
THE POST to have statement Of the
various factors which have been the
cause OF this long drawn out discus
sion which has finally eliminated in
the appointment Of the commission by
the recent Legislature to look into the
College affairs.
In 1862 Senator Morrill, of Vermont,
introduced bill into the National
Congress, setting aside 10000 acres
OF public land to each member of Con-
gress, the sale or income derived from
this land to be used for the mainten-
ance of an institution of higher edu-
cation in each State, for the ''endow
ment, support and maintenance OF at
least one college where the leading OBJ
Ject should be, without neglecting
other scientific and classical studies,
and including military tactics, to teach
such branches OF learning as are relat-
ed to agriculture and the mechanic arts,
in such manner as the Legislatures
OF the States may respectively pres
cribe in order to promote the liberal
and practical education of the indus
trial classes in the several pursuits and
professions in life" This Act carried
with it the obligation OF the States ac-
cepting the provisions Of the Act tc
purchase lands and erect suitable build
| ings for the above described instltu.
ton.
AT the time Delaware did not fee
herself able to accept the provisions o
| the Act, and in consequence, did no
avail herself OF the opportunity at tina
time In 1867 the offer was renewed
The Trustees of the Newark College
which at that time was closed, went t
the Legislature and said that if it woul'
accept the Land Grant and designat
the Newark College as the recipient O
rs benefits. the Trustees OF the Col
lege would deed an individual half O
the College property to the State. Th
State was also to appoint half OF tn
Trustees, the other half coming fror
the original Board of Newark College
which was self perpetuating body.
This arrangement was made with tn
State and the Land Grant accepted, tn
State naming five Trustees from eac
County, and the original Board OF tn
Newark College appointing an equs
number. and together they admins
tered the affairs OF the Delaware CO.
lege, as it was then called. The Stat
further obligated itself to pay 6 pc
cent. interest on the money obtaine
from the sale OF the public lands. Thl
amounted to something like $4,000, S

Brooks pictured tile scene as though

he went hot and cold, and sweat Of
agony broke out all over him.
"No, no, MOI"
He uttered aloud the protest wrung
from his writing soul by his half re-
suscitated manhood. He clutched his

be under arrest. He saw himself be-
ing led out, handcuffed, under the
hooking eyes of his fellow clerks and
the customers.
He closed the door again and turned
from it, cowardice at his heels, whis-
pering sophistic prudence, counseling
the poltroon's discretion, throwing spe-
cious sops to his conscience. Some
thing had to be done. No other course
than that he had taken had been pos

recognized by men caused them to
draw away with rising gorge and

know of the 'sacrifice-nO one save the
victim, Williams and himself. Other

emergencies to save their husbands
from public dishonor. Some had bar
gained their favors to insure Office or

some for dress and jewels their hus-
