THE anti-saloon people are awake to
the importance of having all friends of
temperance register early 80 as to vote at
the primaries of all the various parties
which will have candidates for member
ship in the legislature. The liquor peo-
pie have been careful to instruct all their
friends to get registered, so as to vote for
men who are favorable for resubmission
of the liquor question to a vote of the
people When it is considered that only
those who register before the primaries
are held, can vote for any of the names
submitted for nominees on the various
tickets, it is plain that man can easily
be placed on any ticket whose ideas are
directly opposite to the will Of major
ity of the people of the district for which
he may be nominated, simply because
the people generally neglected to regis
ter on the first three days Of registration,
and thereby do not qualify themselves

depend upon the people themselves, and |
to have any say as to who and what the

in Delaware under the new election laws,
the voters must be registered either in
July or August, at his regular voting

but we have always found, that it is really
up to the candidates to get the voters
registered, and only those favorable to
the candidates ideas will be requested
by that person TO qualify.

THAT the Delaware, Maryland and
Virginia neck-of-land lying between the
two bays and the Atlantic Ocean is the
best piece of land on God green earth,
there can be no controversy as a fact.
But it is also a fact, that our people in
many instances do not realize the rich
ness of their inheritance, and are prone
TO accept facts without comparisons with
other places. We do not visit other sec
;ions, and we do not investigate our pos
sibilities. We are content with the good
things we enjoy as a matter-of course,
and all of this will soon bring a security
of the senses, a contentedness with our
lot, which must be aroused through the
efforts of the aggressive newspapers pub
hshed all over this favored peninsula,
and especially in the City Of Wilmington.
This work has been more largely carried
on during the past two years, than at any
previous period in the history of the
Delmarvia peninsula, and the repeated
statement of the results of horticulture,
Of fruit aud truck farming, as well as the
great developments of the canning and
other industries, has awakened the peo-
pie to their own importance. What Del
aware has done in strawberry production
alone, is a worldwide advertisement |
which has brought thousands to think of
our wonderfully favored peninsula. But
even the great success Of the apple grow
ers and the men who are making the
Delmarvia land a factor in the business
world, would fade and the greatest bene-
fits would be lost, were it not for the
newspapers, 1t has been the good for
tune of Delaware especially to have as
directors of the newspaper business in
and throughout the state.

ITALYS PARTICIPATION

No single incident, past or potential,
would have a more favorable and instant
~ noticeable effect on the colored people
OF this country than the participation Of
Italy in the European reversion to sava-
gerry and the recall tn Europe Of the many
thousands Of cheap laborers and under
hand competitors now intrenched in this
country at the expense of the decent live
Iihood OF both white and colored lsborers.
The invasion OF the cheap Italian la
borer, supplemented by the Black Hand
Societies for the promulgation OF Italian
ideas, has been almost complete. A few
years ago colored men were employed on
. salary basis on the boats a. shoeblacks.
with the opportunity Of making what
ever tips they could. The Italian came
and paid for the privilege 20 work in this
capacity. He dispensed with the salary
and virtually paid the "boss' for the
privilege Of the shoe black stand. The
colored man was also intrenched a. porter
in the saloons, receiving Q SALARY and
having the privilege of the bootblack
stand, but here again the cheap Italian
came and ousted him with his offer 20 do
the porter work for the privilege of the
stand.
There was no competing with such q
rival. His expens-s were very much
smaller than the colored mans. He
could afford to work for almost nothing
and yet save enough TO 90 hack home
and establish terms OF familiarity with
King Alpbonso and his court. Taking
him back to the bsttlefelds OF Europe
may perhaps establish better conditions
in this country for the true sons Of the
lsnd-the men who are not botheied
with any European affiliation and are
ever ready TO spend their lives in the de-
fence Of this country. y.-Amsterdam News.
