IT MUST not be forgotten that the
result of the elections in Delaware
last fall. when Senator Henry dupont
was defeated, was brought about as
the results of the%wide-spread opinion
that the interests of Republicanism in
Delaware would be best served even
though it was through the defeat of
his candidacy It was not because of
any opposition to T. Coleman dupont,
for he has a warm sympathy and
many friends in the two lower coun-
ties of Delaware, and had he been
running, the result in both Kent and
Sussex Counties would have been
very different. For that reason, if
the progressive element of the RePub-
lican party in Wilmington desires to
build up friends in lower Delaware, it
will have to disprove the charges Of
the Organization. that they are now
working for the disruption of the Re-
publican party in Delaware. and this
can be proven very conelusively by
their actions during the city cam
paign in Wilmington.

IN SERIOUS times. like that OF the
present day, it behooves all of us to
give heed to the interests which will
affect the future as well as the pres
ent. In considering the duration Of
the war in which this country and all
the world is engaged. every guess is
an individuals estimate of the condi-
tions which may prolong or shorten
the conflict, and has only that much
value; but, the results which will fol-
low after the war, even if it should
stop in three years from now, will
not be worked out until twenty or
more years will have passed. In an
address delivered recently. Sir Baden
Powell said: "The war will be decided
in 1885 The true victory will lie not
so much in the actual gains on the
battlefield today as in the quality of
the men who will have to carry on the
work of the country after the war.
War kills off the best of a nations
manhood; therefore. extra care must
be exercised to save every child-not
for its own sake or for its parents
sake. but for the sake of the nation.
It has got to be saved saved from in
fant mortality, then from i'll health,
and finally from drifting into being

individual must be made () healthy
and strong, (2) endowed with char

lack of foresight for those who con-

great aids to military success; but it
is equally important to keep consid-

ONE THING has escaped the atten-
ton of the people of Delaware-at
least there has not been any public
observance or comment upon the sub
iect-and that is the loyalty of the
colored men and women of Delaware.
Representative men of the colored
race have met several times at vari-
GUS places in Delaware and pledged
their support for the army, for the
farm. or for whatever place the Ma
tional or State government will need
them. and this is all that could be
expected of any race or set of men.
We have been free in our condemna-
ton of the faults and crimes of mi
nority of the colored race in Della
ware. but let it be said that the col
ored people of this state have shown
as much or more patriotism than
their brethren in any other state in
the United States. When the govern
ment is ready to call upon the negro,
we believe that he will be prompt to
respond, and that the percentage OF
slackers will not be any larger in the
negro ranks, than in that of the white
citizenship Of Delaware.

THE EXPERIMENTAL farm at
Newark has been a valuable adjunct
to agriculture in this state, and its
management has been entirely salts
factory to most agriculturists. But
this farm at Newark does not fulfill
all the requirements because of nat
ural conditions which make it impos-
sible to meet the situation, in fruit
growing, in vegetable and truck farm
ing. In grain and stock study, the
Experimental Farm has measured up
to all was expected of it, and possibly
more. 1t has produced famous cattle,
and among which was a bull which
was heralded as actually giving real
milk. In fruit tree experiments the
results have been of little value to
the real farming districts of Delaware,
Kent and Sussex counties, where
practically seven-tenths of all of
the farming of all kinds is accom-
plished. It has been a well-grOund-
ed belief in the opinions of the people
of the two lower counties, that an Ex-
perimental Farm located in the
southern part of Delaware, or some
where in the lower part of Kent cOun-
ty would repay the money expended
in this department of agricultural
work and education, many more times
over than is received from the pres
ent maintenance of the experimental
farm at Newark. The move to start
a branch of the experimental college
work in Sussex county. is in the right
direction, and must be encouraged in
the future, even if the property now
owned at Newark has TO be sold, and
the entire plant established anew
where the real agricultural interests
of Delaware exist, and where the
farmers can get to and from. and
inspect the work as it progresses.
There is ample time to think out a
plan: think it over.

THE PRICE of wheat and corn in
the United States has broken all rec
ords, and the speculation in the form
er comodity has reached the point
where the produce exchanges Of Chi
cago have been compelled to stop
transactions in futures, and it now
permits only buying or selling thru
the usual trade channels of such
wheat as is necessary to cover obliga-
tions already contracted. Wheat at
SO. so per bushel means flour at SIS
per barrel, and that spells suffering
and deprivation for the poorer class
es. The Federal government will be
compelled to intervene to control
prices and supply OF all bread stuffs,
and grain used in the manufacture of
-four, and guarantee a minimum price
to the growers which will assure them
Of handsome profits for growing the
wheat or corn. The whole world APP
pears to have gotten into a panic ov-
er the wheat question, very much as
the people have created a false situa-
tion over the fuel situation. Just a
little sane thought and common-sense
will clear us away from the danger
which results from panic. OF wheat
or coal, there is just as much in the
country as there ever ~ras, and there
will be no danger of starvation or
suffering from cold, II the people will
keep cool and trust the government.
Speculation which steals from all the
people to enrich the individual in a
period when the nation is at war,
must not only cease, but punishment,
even death. be meted out to those who
persist in the policies of a highway
robber through forcing fictitious pric-
es for the necessities Of life.

Washington, Jan. -. Farrcachiug
questions regarding right of patentees

The principal question raised was
whether, in disposing Of its machines

purchasers, the Victor company might
thus lawfully regulate and restrict
distribution of its products. A sec
ondary question was whether the re
