The taxes of taxpayers of New Castle County are gradually increasing, ami the people an; informed by the party in power that the building of the new county almshouse is the cause of it. Naturally, at first sight, the people be lieve this report because they know that such buildings cannot be built without money, and they, as naturally,conclude that they must contribute to build them. This is honest, square dealing on their part, hut if they investigate the subject a little closer they will find that it is not so honest and square the part of the other party, who mis lead them by misrepresentations. The real cause for an increase in county taxes is a part of the political ma chinery of the Democratic party to keep Delaware under Democratic rule. It may he a matter of surprise to the hon est taxpayers of New Castle County to know that they are compelled every year to pay a stipend of taxes for jxjliti cal purposes, but they actually do it, and if they will take t ime to investigate the matter they can easily do it. how they It is n well-known fart that the pres ent assessment laws and laws govern ing the collection of tho taxes are a series of political measures, made so for the purpose of depriving Republicans of their votes by making it difficult for them to get assessed by Democratic assessors, and difficult for them to pay their taxes after they are assessed, to Democratic tax collectors. Democratic politicians come liefore the people, and blandly tell them that the laws bear equally upon all, and that if Republi cans do taxes the fault is theirs. There is no honesty whatever in these specious pretences, and those who make these flippant assertions know that they are deceiving the people. Be fore tin were but few errors allowed by the Levy Court. Tax collectors then were compelled to call time after time upon the poorest taxpayers, and gave them rest until they contributed their quota of money, small though it was, to bear the expenses of the county. If these rules tax rate everybody was compelled to pay tliei taxes. get assessed and pay their changed then 1 ere allied out now the vouId he as low asit was when But the colored people were enfran chised. Some six thousand colored vo ters under the amended constitution added the State. As a matter of course, these colored people, grateful for what the flopublieaii parts had douc for them, adhered to that party. They would have been very foolish, besides being grateful, had they not done so. Such an addition to the Republican ranks under ordinary circumstances, would have made that party invincible > tli, voting population ot f. the time, hut in>t» ad, it became source of veakues*. Williard Sauls bury, the the cry of "a a De Inin d Slates Senator, d nisei liii<- man's party," and •ratie Legislature came to the assistance of that party by passing tin* v*t intended for present tax laws, anything else Ilian to render voting s< difficult and unpleasant for colored vo tors that il sands would annually he cheated! out of their votes. been »f the H practically illustrated through a long Thousands of voters have been annually disfranchised, and by such disfranchisement the Demo cratic party has been kept in power,hut !'<•' -l'l' of the county who own real estate and taxable personal properly; additionally taxed to make up the de ficiency caused by the disfraiiehisenient of thousands of colored and white publicans. The county must lnve just much money, no matter whether it is collected from many or few era. Ifall are made to pay a propor tionate share then the taxe If one-fourth or one-third of the people are disfranchised for political purposes, it stands to reason that those who are not disfranchised must make up the de ficiency. This, we think, is so perfectly plain as to need no further illustration. It is said that there will he higher taxes this year then last year, simply lieoause there are more disfranchised this year than last year. The returns made by the Collectors to tbe Levy Court show alarming lists of delinquents who', will Ik* deprived of a vote at the election next November. These delinquents have never been asked once to pay their taxes. The shallow of a tax collector has never once darkened their doors.The County needs their taxes, hut Ha-Demo cratic party would he defeated if their taxes wore collected.

No matter whether the county taxes are collected or not, the collectors and assessors get their full allowances from the county: The assessor is allowed by the county something like ten cents for every person he assesses and whether he is returned as a delinquent or not by the collector is none of his business. The name of the iissossed person goes upon the tax duplicate; and the dupli cate goes into the hands of a Democrat ic tax collector, with, say a dollar and twonty-t ive ce n ts agai nst theassessed person. wr«* —- - - The name is on the poll tax list and the collector knows he w need give the matter no concern because the law does not require him to call npon such per son to ask him to pay his taxes. It does not so much as require him to send a notice to or leave a bill with the person assessed. His duty is done when lie has made proclamation by handbills that lie will be at his office on certain days and at certain hours to receive taxes. 1 f the assessed person comes volun tarily and pays bis taxes well and good, if be does not well ami good again. The collector has done his full duty. " Well done good and faithful servant." Time rolls on and the Levy Court meets. The collector must give an account of hif stewardship, lie returns the name o the person assessed as a delinquent. He has performed the full measure and quirementsof the law. His errors are allowed, and would you believe it. (?) Now listen to what we say. He is allow ed in addition as much per cent, for tbe taxes lie returns as not collected as he is for what he has collected. This is a bo nanza for the tax-collector but it is hard the tax-payers. It is no wonder the debt of Newcastle County is increasing and the people are groaning under the weight of increased taxation. We are not especially censuring the tax collectors nor are we reflecting the Levy (.'curt. They are hut a part of the maohinery for disfranchising vo ters. The motive power is in the State Legislature. The Levy Court is the great tly wheel and the assessors and the collectors are the little wheels with in wheels, that all do their part to move the great Juggernaut of disfranchise ment. Altogether it is a complete ma chine for keeping the Democratic party in power* by disfranchising Republican voters,hut it is decidedly hard upon the property owners who pay the taxes. It to it, a to If 1 There may have been some good grounds for ousting Mayo, the Bead jlister from Congress yesterday and the admission of Harrison the Virginia Bourbon as his successor as it seems the change was made by a unanimous vote.

I had been keeping watch with a sick child, a bitter January night The air seemed all ice, the sky waa moonless, starless and dark. The sidewalks were like glass, so frozen were they, and the few who were abroad at midnight wise ly deserted them for the car tracks. How glad I was when it was daylight once more, but recalled with a shiver the dreariness of the night when I read in the local columns of a morning paper a paragraph headed, unknown—an inquest was held—the Coroner's verdict, died of exposure and intemi>erai)C6. merits there were—" a few cents in tbe vest pocket,a newspaper advertisement, a fragment of a letter in a woman's handwriting, evidently from a person of culture, some traces of manly beauty on the face, notwithstanding the marks of dissipation and—that was all. 1 watched for the sequel ; it oarne: "Not having been identified or claimed, the young man who was found dead in the streets Found dead— Home additional com the night, of buried at the expense ot the city." We all know what kind of burials are these ! " Died of intemperance and ex posure." It should have been, "mur dered by rum." We think sadly ot the heights from which he came step by step to such a strait. Cared for by a woman of culture—" once ah ! once loving hearts shunned him. known," save by God and His angels, and yet there may he somewhere a home where he is still watched for—we cannot tell. "Still some traces of manly beauty on his face," the face ou which once kisses have been pressed— once a pure child-face. Perchance as life's sands ran out that wiuter night a touch of the Holy Spirit may have moved to prayer the anguished heart, and back on this winter wind may have came the answer, "thy sinsare forgiven thee." Aud who can tell but the peace of the forgiven may have left on the dead face something cf childhood's nst and purity, showing out through the marring and blighting of the rum fiend's seal. " Dead and unknown !" Alas, for the nameless graves, the blighted lives, the broken hearts !
