THERE is rumor which is oc-
casionally voiced in Milford, that a
newspaper is to be started in Mil
ford in the future. Should it prove
to be correct, the new member in
the newspaper fraternity of Della
ware will find an open field in
which to put forth its efforts. Sue
cess in publishing paper, like any
other business, is the result of the
efforts of trained newspaper makers,
as well as the use of machinery and
workmen to accomplish the actual
printing. With a we'll trained
newspaper maker at the head of
any new enterprise, and with pa
tronage sufficient, it can be made
successful, so long as the combina-
tion exists. Time, brains, business
ability and money are the essentials
necessary to make any paper a sue
cess-whether it be religious, politi-
cal or local in its purposes.

HOUSE prons Into Mine.

As the members Of the family ol
George McKelchnie, of Courtdale
near Wilkes-Barre, Pa, were eating
dinner there came a loud report and
the tossing about of furniture.
The family rushed out, to find that
a mine cave had occurred under the
house and that the cellar walls had
been almost completely lost in an
opening which extended into the mine
and which was large enough to swal-
low several buildings.
The damp condition of the earth
permitted the house to sink, and the
gradual settings finally turned the
building on its end.
This is the second cave to occur at
the same place within the last year.
One year ago the building was up
turned. 1t was set back in place, and
after weeks Of labor the cave hole was
filled up. TIE property is undermined
by the Kingston Coal company.

A word TO OUR FRIENDS.


From scores of good friends in
all parties, we have received ex-
pressions Of regret for our defeat at
the general election last week for
the State Authorship, and espec-
tally from those interested in public
school education have these ex-
pressions been most prevalent.
We appreciate these kind express
sions from those who have taken
the trouble to convey their feeling
by written and spoken word. We
want to assure them it was a dis
appointment, and one brought
about by the mistaken action of
400 Republicans who saw fit to
bolt the Republican ticket.
The State Auditor elect, Mr.. w.
Poole Prettyman, is very capable
young man, and one who is famil-
lar with the public school system
of Delaware. He will no doubt
fill the Office as well, or better,
than it has been conducted in the
past.
For thirty-four years we have
devoted our time and efforts to
building up the publishing business
and bringing the CHRONICLE to its
present high standard, with cir
culation of 4soo copies each week,
and after retiring from two years
service as State Auditor, this work
will be resumed; and, with the add
ed experience of the past Two years,
we hope to make more improve
nents in the, CHRONICLE.
Since April, 1882, we have been
assisting to push the town of Mil
ford forward in municipal affairs.
The construction and public owner
ship Of a water system and the
electric light, as we'll as the build
ng Of sewers and the building of
improved streets, was the result of
lgitatiOn and the advocacy of these
improvements through the columns :

THE only real object accomplish
ed by the Progressive, or boiling
faction Of the Republican party in
Delaware, through their acts in
boiling the Republican ticket in

whereby Willard Salisbury may get

Republicans have the Governor and
the State Senate, but on joint bal
lot the Democrats have a majority
Of eight, and will, therefore, elect a

WOMAN suffrage is forging to the
front in America, and at the cleo
ton just held four States voted to
give the franchise to women. This
makes ten out Of the forty-eight
States which have given women
the right to the ballot, and civic
equality, including the services as
jurors. In the State Of New York
mote than one hundred Of the men
elected to membership in the Legis-
lature of that State, have expressed
themselves as favorable to granting
to women the ballot, and before
long the States will be brought to
consider and act upon the question
Of woman suffrage. Delaware must
meet the problem before many years
pass, and it will be well to consider
the question. We have a firm be- |
lief that the women Of Delaware
should be eufranchised, and be Civ
en- the full power ofa citizen to cast
a ballot on all questions in State
government. Women already have
the right to vote at school elections
and in municipal elections, in most
Of our towns OF, to be more ex-
rlicit, such women as hold property
from their husbands, or all
women who hold property in their
own right, may exercise the privi-
lege Of voting at school and muni-
cipal elections in many ofthe towns
in Delaware. If the women can be
trusted to vote in school and town
government, surely they must be
capable ofdischarging the duties Of
a ballot for State and county
2f6cials Now is the auspicious 5
ime for the women to get action,

stature pass an act amending our '
constitution so that woman suf- 4
