ed by offering to guarantee the in
tegrity of Hanover if the latter would
declare her neutrality and accept the
Prussian reform program for the
government of the confederation.
Hanover rejected the terms, and the
next day the Prussian troops crossed
her frontier. In a few days the
kingdom of Hanover ceased to exist.
While the sword yet hung suspended
over his head blind King George, de-
serted by those of his generals who
had eyes to see real facts, a second
time rejected overtures of peace. The
battle of Langensalza then was fought
bravely, but in vain, and the dynasty
went into exile. George V died in
Paris in 1873. having to the last pro-
tested against the loss Of his kingdom.
/ Meanwhile Bismarck had agreed
with the deposed Kings representa-
/ tive, Windthorst, to pay him 10000
/ 600 thalers. as compensation for his
throne No sooner was the agree
ment signed, however, than Bismarck
thought better of the bargain. The
money represented the Kings per-
sonal property in Hanover and fairly
| belonged to him; but il certainly
would have been used to foment the
"Welfist" agitation against Prussia
Hence. as the King absolutely declin-
ed to give up his claims, and on his
deathbed had made his son, the pres
ent Duke of Cumberland, take oath
never to give them up either, Bis
marck would not pay the money, and
it was not until his successor (Ca-
privi) was in office, in 1892, that the
millions were handed over to the
"Cumberlanders.
The position In regard to the Cum
berland claims was complicated, in
4 1884, by the death of the childless
reigning Duke of Brunswick The
heir to the throne of the duchy, be-
yond all doubt or question, was the
exiled Duke of Cumberland. son of
the blind King George of Hanover and
father of the Kaiser's son-in-iaw. The
Federal Council could not without
cause deprive a German sovereign of
his throne. On the other hand, no
"Cumberlander" could be allowed to
rule in Germany as long as the
"Welfs' maintained their claim to be
Kings of Hanover. A compromise
was found. The Duke of Cumber-
land was recognized and proclaimed
Duke of Brunswick. his subjects were
hidden to pray for him in the church
es of the land, and a regent was ap-
pointed 10 rule in his stead. This
state of affairs has lasted until the
present time.

HE HAS MADE GOOD.
thn Dover Republican.

From the Dover Republican.
Ever since the appointment Of
Philip O. Churchman as Judge of the
Municipal Court of Wilmington. we
have closely watched his conduct of
that important position.
He was appointed Judge of the Mu-
nicipal Court of Wilmington, one of
the most trying positions in the state.
A position which brings him in touch
with all grades of human life ana hu-
man character. Daily is he confront
ed with problems on the proper ad-
iustment of which rest conditions OF
happiness or woe for the victims
brought before him.
His work II is to sift the multi
tudinous cases Of law violation and
transgression, which the police nets
of the large city daily and nightly
gather in their meshes. and to do
this properly requires both a heart
and a brain attuned to humanity
while at the same time due regard for
the majesty of the law Is had.
Philip Q. Churchman has measured
up to this in the splendid record he
has made as Municipal Judge He
has completely remodeled the condi.
tlons which prevailed when he as
sumed' the office. It is no longer a
place where men and women, victims
or drink or other vices, are herded
into a pen each morning, given a sort
of perfunctory hearing, and ther
mulcted in a stereotyped fine or seni

From the Milford Chronicle.
In another part Of this paper we print
q statement from Orlando Harrison, of
Berlin. Md, as to the receipts from fruit
during the season of 1918 from a farm
of one hundred acres. In this same pa
per we also print as a news item as to
the receipts from the potato crop grown
under normal conditions on Delaware
soil. and these..two statements. coming
from sources of unquestioned reliability,
prove concusively that the future for
fruit growing, and the production OF
truck on the peninsula, offers to active
and intelligent farmers opportunities
greater than any of the fabled lands Of
the far western states. These facts and
figures are worth studying and thinking
over. as to the possibilities for young
men to make fortunes quickly. All sue
cess is preceded by hard work and wise
thought coupled with business fore
sight, and the Delaware peninsula has

needs training and education along the
lines of fruit growing and practical
farming, and Delaware College offers
this education free to her sons.

r1n11c nrrIcIALs ANp RAILMOAD wRECKAeE

N future public officials who desire to inspect the
4 wreckage of trains on the Pennsylvania rail-
road within reasonable time after an accident oc-
,urs will have opportunity TO do An order to tnat
effect ha been issued by General Manager Long oil
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. 1t already mas
evoked much favorable comment
II has been the policy Of that company and many
others in the past to destroy the dsmantled engines
and cars of wrecked trains quickly as possible
after accidents. That has not been because the
companies desired to conceal anything but because
they wished to get the right of way clear Of the
,xreckage as quickly possible
Mr. Long says that practice has given rise to public
criticism notably in the case OF the ecent wreck on
the New Haven railroad. Therefore, he adds, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has decided % depart
from its policy and TO hold the wreckage long enough
for inspection provided the public officials exercise
reasonable diligence in getting to the scene Of th
wreck. II is not the purpose to permit the new ru
TO stand in the way OF the promptest possible resump
ton Of traffic or the wrecked rolling stock shal
remain any great length of time along the right o
way. The public officials must act promptly says

DELAWARE COLLEGE ATHLETICS.

Form the Newark Ledger.
IL is evident that there is some
dissatisfaction over athletics at Della
ware College. Unfortunately of late
years Delaware College has not had
a winning team either in basketball
Of football There may be some
reason to give to this. The coach does
the very best possible with the mate
rial in hand We do not seem to at
tract the right sort of athletic timber.
Remember, other colleges have
grown stronger and are taking means
that may not be purely athletic While
Delaware College has grown it has
hardly kept place with some others.
It is coming, however. It's corps of
professors are competent. and can d.
much toward the building up the in
stitution. They have a duty outside
of teaching and they will do it. The
college must be boosted; advertised.
and to do this athletics must be en-
couraged.
The Board of Trustees have more
to do than to attend meetings twice
or oftener a year They should in
terest themselves in means to secure
larger attendance. The alumni
want to make a name for their alma
mater. They come in touch with
many young men; poor young men
who may add another student to the
institution.
In plain language. those who are
interested in the welfare OF the insti-
tuition want to work for her advance
ment. The courses of instruction are
all right; the cost of securing a good
education is all right, and what is
wrong?
