The opposition to the registration fee Wbicb the Conatitutional Convention ; proposes to substitute for tbo poll tar m a prerequisite to voting is not based Z upon any Muod «woaiog. Like tha proposition to make elective certain ; county officers now appointed by the Governor, it ia mainly the result of Republican partisanship. It is to the of •dvantas» of the iiepublicao parly of Llelawaro to tnak, a, ..heap and irreaponsible as possible. economic point of view, it would be a hardship upon the counties te abolish the poll tax without substi ! «»'I*r%r r ' o, r a T - ia : its stead. There are already sufficient ag burdens upon real and persona! prop arty, with a margin existing between ; tba tax levies and tbe expenditures in ÄSxrÄ^ 3 be un;uat The proposed registration fee would « mor, ttian mako up fur tb, poll tax, if the rum inpoml upon -a-h ; ^^Ä**Ä^Vr ...et.D« poll ta,.

To. entir. revonuo, therefore, would go into the county treasuries, whereas a considerable por tioo of tho poll tax is lost io commis Blocs and other costs of collection. It is urgod in opposition that tbo imposiUon of a rsgi.traîion ten would b. great a source of political corruption am. bribery as the poll tax ever was, hut tbis can be guarded againab it ia true that, without restrictions, party purees would supply the funds for tho registration fees, r,he sumo as they have in tbe psst for poll taxes. Rut it should bo borne in mind that sufFrago of reform is now the watchword in Delà ware, and that tbe Constitutional Con vention in session at Dover ia working ! to make this reform effective. 8. E. COR. FIFTH AND SHIPLEY ET8., trihvixiTos, rncnuDAT, rr.n. One of the remedial moasuree pro posed is the. right to exact of any appli cant for registration, upon proper chal lenge, an oath or affirmation to the effect that he has not accepted a bribe paymoot for his vote, in any wav, sbapo or form. This oath or affirma tion can be so worded as to cover the registration fee so that any citizen who should permit this fee, to be paid for . him by any other .«-nn, whatever would run the* risk «ff disfranchua ment prosecution for perjury. Couple with these safeguards adequate punish ment for perjury, and a, fair « system for an honest suffrage aa could bode visea is permanently secured. It i. not well to make suffrage too cheap or too easy. The proposed rofflstration faa-fifty cents has been suggested, and a doilar should bo th. maximum limit—would not oppress aoy voter. And by paying it himself, out of his own pocket, ho would thereby be tho owner of h.a own vote and not belxildon to any other man political «organization, virtually collect it«elf, and all of it Would go int«j tiio county treasuries. dourly, the proposed system of a registratiejn fee, rightfully guarded, han r-verythiog to commond it und nothing in it« dinfavor. to any The tax would Bradetreot'a review of business for tbo past week ih aa foiiowH: "General trade Bhowa muro improvement,feuturea ; of which are tho advances for Bessemer pig iron, Btoe! billot«, etoel rail H , some grades of wool, ruw sugar, Indian corn, pork and lard and for print cloth«, doncy for leather, together with a number of metal and : textilo industrial eatablisbmontH which !
