A hen is fool. Never yet did one Of them
lay an egg without raising such a row
over II as though it were an event unpre-
cedcnted 10 the history Of chickenkind
Such conduct would rot be surprising in
pulet after she had laid her first egg,
for ii is doubtless an event in her life, bu'
for a mature hen to raise all this fuss and
feathers over matter which L she is a
well organized aud Industrious ben, has
been we'll nigh daily occurrence in her
life, is silly beyond expression and makes
irr, sietable the convection ben is a fool.
But Il such conduct is conclusive evidence
Of folly on the part Of hen what are We
TO say Of it on the part Of a human being.
There are numbers who are guilty Of ii.
They cackle over the performance OF
the simplest and most commonplace duties,
the non-perfornance Of which would have
been disgrace to them.
We can forgive man for some self
exaltation over the P rformance Of really
remarkable act, hut We lose patti nee oyci
petty Dragging over what ought to b,
commonplace events. We have know
clergymen Who could not restrain them
selves trom chuckling all through ser
mon over the profound research they hat
given to subject they had no right I,
treat Of without such research editor
who could not lay piece of news befor,
their readers which the latter bad per
feet right to expect without abiding {,
the enterprise they had displayed and III,
great expense they had incurrd In obtain
ing ii and worknen who cannot finish
job with the care they should give t
every piece of work, without Dragging o
it. All rackiag, cachlug We wish DA
win would investigate tue origin of sue
people. He might find that the mssm
tail was Of feathers, and lie disapI earanc
therefore not at all remarkable.

The Senate has confirmed the appoint
ment Of John NJ. Dunn as L. 5. Marshal
for Delaware, and now, unless charges
are preferred against him, as they ought
10 be, We are to enjoy four more years Of
his administration as the fret fruits Of the
civil service reform promised US by the
Philadelphia convention. It is useless to
tell the people that this could not have
been prevented. Tie men Influential in
the Republican party, could have pre-.
vented it if they had tried, and the p.ople
will hold them responsible Tor not trying.
When men accept positions of RESPONSE
bility and power, their sins Of omission
become just as important as their sins Of
commission. II the political managers,
whose cupable inaction has made this
shameful appointment possible, would re
cover the respect they thereby lost, let
them even yet see to II that charges are
preferred which will procure it, reversal,
and le. them see TO It that no more such
afe made.

We do not see what possible objection
was urged in the State Senate against
the Court House removal bill in the shape
in which Il ptsscd the House. Surely the
people Of this county are the best Judges
Of where they shall have their courthouse
located, and the defeated bill merely gave
them the opportunity to decide the ques-
ton by their votes. This is democratic
md iu-t, and ii is dlniczlt to imagine
What excuse a Senator from another coun-
ty could offer for refusing this privilege
TO the people Of New Castle county. It was
a matter that could not lnjure him nor his
constituents, let 1t be decided however it
might.
With a senator from this county the
case is different, and for him to refuse to
allow his constituents to vote on this ques-
ten, is To admit his knowledge or at least
his fear that he does not represent them.
We did rot expect that all our county
senators would shrink from putting them
selves in this position, but if they really
believe IN the democratic principle that
the voice Of the majority should rule, they
ought to have shrunk from it.
