Our charming friends, the ladies of the xival hospitals, have so depleted "the surplus ' tbit this appeal is urgent. Mr^ Warner says that the collections for the Associated Charities have been very diffi cult to make and have been much ti o xneagrein amounts to meet the demands. We condemn the publication in the Tvery Evening, of the serions charges Yroughi »gainst Sheriff Allen by an in mate of the New Castle jail. It is plac ing the evidence of a jail bird against that of onr county's chief executive v officer. This is what we call degradation and sensational journalism, and presum ing upon the rights of "free press."— Delaware City News. It is merely a matter of print'ng. The Every Evening cannot be fair to Sheriff Alleu unless he muzzles It with patron age. The Grand Army men arc naturally roused over the proposition mat some of the veterans shall take pari in the Davis funeral at New Orleans.—Philadelphia Telegraph. The Grand Army men are always "roused." They hold themselves In a chronic state of explosive indignation. It seems that the war did not afford them an opportunity to work off their super fluous patriotism. They should stand In line and scowl as the Davis funeral cortege goes by. Simk the discovery of Harrison the Republicans have learned to look back anil up to Hayes as a great man. When Hayes ret urned to Washington for a shor visit after the termination of an un lamented, unwept, and unsung period of salary-drawing, nobody knew him and mt body spoke to him, except a policeman who called: "Say there, come off the grass.' It is useless 1o speculate on what might happen to UarrUon four years hence. Perhaps he will be arrested under the impression that he has escaped from his keeper, Baby McKee. Govkknoh Foiiakkh is anxious to take a long rest, before he begins the practice of law after his term of governorship expires. He contemplates a trip to Europe. The people of Ohio have given him an opportunity to travel. Mahouehas not had a more cordial and definite invi tation to leave the country. To Impress the Fire-Alarm Governor with the de lights and benefits of foreign travel that ballot-box-contract forgery scandal is about to be investigated and Foraker's intimate relations with Forger Wood renders his absence somewhat imperative. BÄ fie ' US : : * ■ Til kuk was one appropriate subject of Thanksgiving this year. Before another such anniversary shall have arrived another governor will have been elected for Delaware. Nor is our thanksgiving at all marred by the reflection that the gov ernor so elected may be a Republican, for any change, no matter what., will be a vast improvement upon the present.— (Smyrna Record. If yonr Senator and his henchmen ap pointees are samples of what the Repub licans would do If they could buy enough negro votes to get possession of the gov ernorship the expectation will not awaken any tumultuous emotions of un controllable joy in the breasts of self-re specting Republicans Your thanksgiv ing crop will likely be shorter next year than it was this year. If anything could embarrass the local Republican organs the fact that the local Republican managers have imported a re porter from Philadelphia to write up the travesty of the trial of the alleged cases of the hired men who are appealing to court for the privilege of paying their poll taxes by attorneys—for the privilege to be bribed—should be the thing to do it. It seems that the local Re publican managers have not confidence in the ability or the integrity of the local organs. They recog nize one as an advertising annex to a Philadelphia genuine newspaper and the other as simply a daily hand bill for the circulation of lottery and patent medicine advertisements. In auch aeon ■ditlon of affairs it is not strange that the „local Republican managers wrote to the * Philadelphia Inquirer to send a man here to publish the details of the «rheme to legalize the purchase of a herd ■of negro voters. If the local Republican ■organs could be humiliated, this incident would humiliate them. But one of them lives on foreign patronage and the other is simply a newspaper guerrilla, living any way, any how, withont aDy particu lar reason for living at all, or any scruple about the manner in which it is done. ' ' - 'ft The duties of a tax collector are pri tnarily and chiefly to collect the taxes. He does not sit in judgment over the right of suffrage though incidentally his ■duties are so intimately connected with the exercise of the right of suffrage that it often leads to a misconception that he has the power of deciding who shall vote. Tue 1-4 w decides that matter, and tha law was made by the people. The collector merely complies with and executes the law. Of course the collector, like any other official, may interpret the law under which he is acting. Nobody can control his judgment and force upon him an interpretation of the 1m w of whuh he disapproves The Ketoibiinu-i have taken tue only proper hit for them to take in their •rheme to control the votes of those who have not the m an line s to conrol their ewa votes, They have bronght chaise to the not'ci of the the matter courts end though it seems very like a bluff or like an effort to influ ence the case pending concerning the constitutionality of the poll-tax laws, they are commended for attempting to evade the law by legal means. If the court should decide that, a man may pay Ills tax by proxy—that some one else may take out, hold and control the certificate which entitles him to vote—then the law will give every employer and every dis reputable briber a dangerous power over the rights of suffrage. The Republicans do not expect that they will obtain that power. P. T. Barnum has been extensively quoted by the "protectionist" journals as in favor of a high protective tariff. Such journals as those would quote a ring tailed monkey if they could teach him to repeat some of the stock Republican campaign literature. Itanium's opinion as to whether the duty on steel rails should be #17 or #11 per ton and whether the tariff of 1867 should be replaced on woo Is just about as valuable as the opinion of a ring-tailed monkey. He Is the same Barnum who declared that his property iu Bridgeport, Conn., would be for sale at 50 per cent, di-count If Mr. Cleveland should be elected President. Mr. Cleve land was elected President and Barnum refused to sell his property even at a veiy liberal advance. That little incident will serve to show the value of Mr. Barnum's opinions on political economy. It is a lamentable fact that be and many other men who talk most glibly about free trade, protection and the tariff duties have never even seen a tariff schedule. It is news to them that this wonderful tirlff scheme protects the American workingman against the importation of acorns and the yolks of eggs, against puff-boxes and pumpkins. Such men cannot have any conception of whether the tariff should average 47 or 15 per cent,. They have no conception what ever concerning what rate of per cents are legalised robbery and what rates are legitimately piotec.ive and intended to raise the revenue. Barnum Is a good showman, but he Is not a political econo mist and statesman. His opinions are "humbug" opinions. THEY SUPPRESS THE FACTS The Repub'ican managers profess to imagine that the laws require the tax collectors to pursue the nimble negroes through the dark alleys and into their favorite lairs of tilth and squalor to compel them to pay their poll-taxes. Such is not even a liberal Interpréta tion of the law. The poll-tax laws were made to protect the ballot against ignor ance, neglect and venality. The state prefers not to have the vote of a man whose vote is influenced by any other thau patriotic, motives. Iu this state the Republican party has a following which is notoriously igno rant,, neglectful and vena'.. The poll-tax laws are made to prevent those classes from voting. The state does not want their money, when by taking it they are equipped with the same rights and privileges as a man of property, intelli gence and patriotism. The small poll-tax Imposed in this state is a test of competency to vote. Every man who has any one of the qualities which constitute a good citizen may pay his poll-tax and vote. If he has noi e of those qualities the state does not wish him to vote. The law does not require the tax col lectors to take money from a political campaign club. The collectors are per fectly right In obeying the law. The interpretation of the law to suit the ends of the Republican Campaign Committee is not in the interest of the state, is illegal, is subversive of good government, Is opposed to the theory of a republican form of government, Is a crime against suffrage and Is a perversion of the right of the ballot. The theory of the law is that a man who is intelligent and honest will pay bis own tax and deposit his own vote. If he will not do that he stamps himself as an unworthy and dangerous citizen. The law contemplates that a man who is too careless and too venal to pay his taxes is by his own confession too dishonest and too dangerous to enjoy the right of suffrage. By the purchase and herding of that class of voters the Republican managers constitute themselves Into a dangerous and destructive class of conspirators against law and order and against the freedom and purity of the ballot. No sort of sophistry about constitutional guar antees, inherent right s and general sen timental buncombe will make an ignor ant and venal citizen a worthy, honeBt and competent voter. It is only by suppression of the facts that the Republicans can gain any stand ing before the public or in court for their ignorant and venal clients. Hence, the Republican managers suppress the facts. Hence they attempt to pervert the law and to instruct the collectors in their duties. NEWSPAPER OPINION. The 1 .onilou Scandals. Baltimore 8nn. The "terrible scandai'' in London high life, about which so much was said in a certain class of papers a few weeks ago, turned out on a judical investigation to be jnst nothing at all—so far at least as Lord Euston was concerned. This peer was charged in a Louden paper with hav ing been guilty of unspeakable crimes and having fled to foreign parts when hiB guilt was discovered, sued the paper for libel, and it bronght out that on being invited he went to see what professed to be hibition of statuary or tableaux vivauts such as is often to be seen in theatres. When it turned out that there was noth ing of the sort to be seen and something else was proposed, his lordship left the place—and that was all there was of it. London editors of the Stead sort seem to find pleasure and profit iu inventions that besmirch the reputation of their city. Loudon is as bad asj most cities probably, but not as bad. perhaps, as Paris or Vienna, and no worse thau New York, where the same sort of Journalism is rampant. He at once was an ex Farmers or^auis!ng. Baltimore Sun, The various farmers'bodies have agreed upon a plan of consolidation which will, as soon as the necessary references can be had to the varions state organizations, result in bringing about an absolute union in one body, It is probable that in time the Knights will also loin the farm ers in actual union. In tbs meantime the leaders of both bodies are entirely satis fied with the practical federation now consummated. Harri sonL New York Sun. Nepotism.

Editor Evenino Journ al. We have often heard of persons lying to keep their hands in, but It is seldom that we find one adhering to the rule as faithfully as Flitter-foot Sol, the author of "Republican Glasses." Iu his last con tribution to the Sunday Star, he starts out like a rabid, stricken cur, snarling aud snapping at. everything Democratic, aud concludes with an Inexcusable lie as a grand wind up. He says: "Hasn't Sheriff Allen got a pudding at 30 cents for meals that do not cost 3 cents each?" Now only a few days ago Sol was exam filing the financial affairs of the county, and claimed to have based his comments on the auditor's report, and yet with the whole matter fresh in his mind he makes the plain charge that Sheriff Allen gets 80 cents a meal for boarding the prisoners under his charge, while the fact, is that he receives 80 cents per day, and Solomon knew this to be true when he wrote the cold, glaring lie^about the 80 cents per meal for his "Republican Glasses." When a writer becomes so unscrupu lous as to resort to barefaced lying in order to gratify his mean political venom, and to deceive the uninformed, what con fidence is there to be placed in any of his writings? "False in one thing, false in all things," is generally accepted as a correct principle, but as Ink Speckled Bare Bones hires him as an expert liar, through the week, Sol seems to think that if he were to tell the truth once on Sunday, it would ruin his record as the champion liar. By the way Sol, you seem to have be come quite a financial critic of late, aud while considering the subject of the board of prisoners, let me give you a little nut to crack in yonr next contribu tion to Republican Glasses. I understand that Chief Swtggett, returned #468 of his boodle; this represents just one half of the amount, or #939, charged for pris oners' board, which at 15 cents per meal amounts to 6,220 meals, or a fraction over thirteen meals a day, Sundays in cluded, for every day that the chief has been in office. Now Sol, here is a chance for you. Don't that look like pretty tall feeding? Just look at it! Thirteen meals per day. Wonder if the Clayton House reg lster will show a greater number of arrivals? It looks as though the Hotel de Swlggett was becoming exceedingly popular. Then, again, Sol, we have heard some thing about the immaculate Higgi having a government employe employed as a private secretary and kept here in Wilmiugton doing political work, while drawing full pay from the government in addition to amount allowed the Senator for his private secretary, this, Sol? Can't you shake them up jnst a little bit, or would such cold facts be unprofessional with yon? "Oh, boodle, great is thy name !" How about CniRi.D Takin' Notes. Wilmington, December 10, 1889.

IMPROVING PENINSULA RIVERS Purvey of the Wicomico—Dredging the Cherrystone Inlet—Estimated Cost. Among the executive communications laid before the House of Representatives vesterday was a copy of the report of Major W. F. Smith,of the army (retired), unon the survey of Wicomico river, Md. Major Smith says he deems Wicomico river worthy of improvement, and recom mends a survey of it from White Haven to Salisbury. Md., a distance of about ten miles. A rough estimate of the cost of the desired improvements is #30,000 The report reviews the location and the course of the river, the valuation of the property along its banks, etc. The project for further improveing the river contemplates the dredging of the channel so that it will be 9 feet deep at mean low water and from 100 to 150 wide from the Fruitland to the drawbridge at Salisbury, which would involve the removal of 116,000 cubic yards of material at an limated cost of about #23,000. Major Smith was also in charge of the survey of North East river, Md. The project for improvement proposes a chan nel 75 feet wide and 6 feet deep at mean low water across the bar at the mouth and to the mouth of Stony river, and from that point to the head of navigation 60 feet wide, with low-water depth of 6 feet, involving the removal of 25,700 cubic yards of material at an estimated cost of #5,140. desired improvement would be about # 12 , 000 . Colonel Craighill, the engineer officer in charge of the river and harbor work in Maryland, recommends the improvements suggested above. Major Smith further submits a leport of the survey of Cape Charles City and approaches by Cherrystone inlet. The project for improvements contemplates a slight change In the plan of eutrance and increase of width The proposed entrance is to be decidedly thrown to the southward by widening it funnel shaped iu that direction, both piers to be carried out 1,000 feet iu prolongation of the old piers as far as the edge of Cherry stone inlet,ending in twelve feet of water. South pier to begin at the end of the old bulkhead, and be deflected southward 12 degrees for a length of 870 feet, thence 30 degrees for a length of 600 feet, until it reaches the same depth as North pier. Dredging is proposed in Cherrystone inlet and across Cherrystone bar, aggre gating 227,000 cubic yards The esti mated cost of the proposed improvements is #143,340.
