ONE CENT.
THE SUREST' ROAD TO WEALTH IS THROUGH LIBERAL ADVERTISING-!
DIVIDE THEM.
It Is hoped the viewers will care
fully weigh all arguments made for
and against the division of the wards
of town and If this Is done, wo feel
, confident, the decision will be In
j nvor of the petitioners. The division
I K a matter of absolute necessity and
not a political whim, and any argu
ment relating to partisanship Is
wholly Irrelevant, If the request of
the petitioners is not granted it will
place the voters of the town at a dis
advantage and deprive tho citizens of
an ample enjoyment of that in which
they are greatly Interested.
rottsvilie, with less population than
Shenandoah, has more wards than
the'lattcr place and they were formed
years ago when the town had a much
smaller population than our town lias
now.
The opposition to the division of the
wards comes from the same parties
who opposed the original division
years ago. Thoy are natural objectors
and obstructionists and anything
, looking towards progress never es
capos their stamp of disapproval.
The division of tho First, Third,
Fourth and Fifth wards is an inipera
tlve uecrQslty and, aside- from the
question of economy, tho question of
dividing tho Second ward is a sec
ondary consideration.
Delaware Republicans are to be
congratulated upon their recent
sweeping victory. Tho state can now
be placed on thelist of victors for 1802.
J uft as true as God made little apples
the Republicans will carry the state
in the next presidential campaign by
a safe majority.
The Patriot, published at the state
capital, is now one of the best, neatest
and newsiest dailies in the state. It is
the most out-spukeu and independent
of Democratic newspapers and It
looks as bright as a newly-coined dol
lar. Its editorials aud locals are well
written and catching in style aud last,
?lmt not least, the advertisements are
Models for newspaper men. The latter
are certainly -attractive and cannot

failures, the publication of such n good
paper at the capital is quite a surprise.
If the paper were of the right po
litical stripe Its success would bo com
plete. The opposition to the division of
the wards comes from those who have
been disappointed in politico and those
who fear an increase of a few offices
will hurt their Income. Or, in a few
words self interest.
The division of the present wards
is imperative.
TnE wards should be divided.
