NAKED GOOD TICKET.

The absence OF exciting contests re-
suited In q comparatively small vote
at the Democratic primaries for New
Castle county. Saturday afternoon, but
a total OF about $500 was very credit
able considering the conditions. And
the general result was the nomination
OF an acceptable ticket. composed of
capable and well-meaning men whose
election would be an assurance to the
troubled taxpayers of the reforms so
badly needed in the administration OF
together, man for man, it not only
compares most favorably with tho
Republican county ticket, but in many
respects is far superior. And in the
assurance it extends OF a decided trend
in the direction. of good government.
especially in careful expenditure, It
stands far ahead Of its Republican
competitor.
Especially do the Levy Court nomi-
nations appeal to our harassed and
Disguised taxpayers. Charles A. Sa-
Vile OF the First district, John Nevin
of the Fourth. Thomas W. Truitt Of
the Sixth. and James A. Hart Of the
Seventh are business men of ability
and high character, with an interest
in efficient and less costly admins
tration that should appeal potentfy
to all citizens who feel a concern IN
county reform. The election of these
four men would mean a material diff
ference in county administration and
prove of real service to the public.
The legislative nominations also are
assuring throughout the county, while
the general ticket is as good a one as
ever was offered to the voters Of New
Castle county. Altogether, the Demo
cratic voters made admirable selec-
tons. and their work has at least
given an opportunity to our citizens
to secure what they know they need
"a good administration OF county at
fairs. with an entire elimination OF
the extravaganza and costly favorit-
ism that have been so conspicuous
and damaging for many years.

THE LIQUOR WAR AT SEA.

1t is said the government circles in
London are becoming concerned over
the virtual abrogation OF the three
mile limit Of territorial Jurisdiction
at sea by vessels Of our dry" navy
in seeking to prevent the Illegal
landing Of intoxicating liquors
on our shores. Our Congress
has been asked to extend the
limit to eighteen miles. but there
are grave doubts about its authority
to take such an advanced step in
claiming jurisdiction over the high
seas.
The three-mile limit. while never
formally adopted or even aprvved
by international agreement, has been
virtually accepted by all nations, for
years, as marking the extent OF one
nations exclusive jurisdiction over the
waters surrounding or bordering on
its territory. Beyond that limit, by
general acceptation. lie the high seas
