Cruelty to Human Beings.
A PROTEST AGAINST POLICEMEN ILL
TREATING DRUNKARDs.

IhhAIihd DhuNhAhbbs
To he Editors Of the journal Sins !;
On March 4th, while coming up Market
street between Fourth and Fifth. 1 saw
one Of the police dragging n man by the
neck, and there was some fifteen or
twenty boys following after, and the
policeman had his billy In his hand beat
ing the poor fellow over the back and head,
and on his arms and hands. Mr.. Editor,
ask you. in the name Of God and the citi
zens of Wilmington, Is this the treatment
that man is to receive from the police Of
this city for being under the influence Of
bad whskyl The man was not able to
hold his arms up, he could not offer any
resistance, and he was dispose to stagger
backwards rather than 20 forwards. If
the man had been able TO offer any resist
anoe the officer could have summoned
men to his assistance. But, sir, the man
had black skin, this is the great sin
that this man must be beaten for. | will
except, for the officers sake, that he was
a drunken brute, but, sir, our Legislature,
| believe, has given Us n law for the pro
lection Of animals. Now wish toinclude
this man in that list, at the least.
Now, is was a member of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
ehuulu nuNc ltlt II W. uuNl W pioF0NutN
that officer for his cruel, inhumau, hard
hearted, savage treatment to that animal
that he was dragging TO the hall. The
members of the society could net have a
better case to test their law than this ono.
do not treat this case as one coming
under any law for the protection of a
human creature. I had supposed that we
had arrived at a higher state Of civlliza-
ton than TO be allowed to take a billy aud
beat a man, in our public streets, over the
head, back, arms and hands. If that
officer should do the came to horse he
would be subject to fine of from 800 &c
S25, under the law protecting the animals
that walk our streets. It is to be hoped
that such conduct will not be permitted
by His Honor, the Mayor, of q city sc
professedly obedient and submissive t
law and order. It is the opinion of thost
who saw the conduct of that officer that
His Honor, the Mayor, should be informed
of the matter that he reprove or dismiss
him from the force. If this is TO he thu
treatment that the public are to look for
they must defend themselves or violence
must rule this city. God forbid that thl
should be the case. A CITIZEN.

REPORTED BUYING OF THE OFFICE OF
JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.

REPORTED BUYING OF THE OFFICE OF
JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.
!Asssrs. Editors The people of this city
we're very much surprised to learn that
George S. Hagany had received a commits
sion for the Office Of Justice of the Peace
for Wilmington Hundred. First, that the
appointment was made in direct opposition
to the wishes of the Democratic party, and
those wishes were well known to His
Honor, Governor Ponder, and he cannot
escape the condemnation this act will meet
at the hands Of the party that placed him
in his present position. Again. when a
man, Justice of the Peace, admitted to
Mr.. Smith Of Brandywine Hundred, that
Mr.. Hagauy had offered him two hundred
and fifty dollars for his commission, but
IL said Mr.. Smith would give the amount
above stipulated he would give him the
preference, as Mr.. Smith was Democrat.
Now, Measrs. Editors, what should be the
feeling of the Democratic voters OF this
county whom the Governor was well aware
that Mr.. IIagany was Republican sheriff
of New Castle county in 1864, and can
ddate for nomination in 1870 when he
was beaten by Thomas Harvey. When
Democrats stood at the corner of Second
and Market streets while he was a candi-
date for said office the day Of the celebra-
ton of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
amendments TO the Constitution, he waved
his hat and handkerchief to his colored
brothers and then to receive an appoint
ment at the hands of representative OF
the Democratic party is more than the
people can understand. The opinion OF
the party is that when man receives an
appointment from the Executive he obtains
Ii on his own qualifications and the recon-
mendation of his friends, aud If he cannot
perform the duties of the office II is his
place to return the commission to the
bands It came from, and not offer II fol
sale as a butcher would sell sheep on his
shambles. A word of advice TO the gen.
tlemen who exercised such potential In
fuence with the Governor. They are well
known, and when the time arrives they
will hear tho popular expression OF the
Democratic party. "Get thee behind mt
Satan for we know what thou doet." Ar'
the men who have been Drawing the breas
to the battle In the heat Of the day TO have
the cold shoulder Of their representative
turned to them and appoint a man wh'
proved false to the trust reposed In him b.
the Democrats Of the first ward when h
was their representative in Council. How
In Heavens name can such man b.
trusted politically. A CITIZEN.

Pay Your Just Debts.
HOW LITTLE WOMAN ATTEMPTED TO
MAKE BIG MAN PAY UP.

HOW A LITTLE WOMAN ATTEMPTED TO
MAKE BIG MAN PAY UP.
The Chester Ne0s. OF Tuesday, says;-
Shortly before the workmen left Roach's
shipyard yesterday afternoon, wiry little
woman stationed herself near the entrance
and watched with compressed lip and
angry eye for the opening Of the gate.
There was nothing remarkable about her
either except that she wore pair OF very
thick boots evidently too large for her
dainty little feet. At length the gate
swung open and the men began to pour
out. She took her stand In a position that
she could scrutinize every person who
came through without bling seen herself.
Suddenly she darted at tall fellow and
fastening her hands about his neck de-
msnded the eight dollars he owed her.
In her vehemence, she frightened her grip
and the unfortunate man could not artlcu-
late syllable; he gurgled out faw sounds
but not sufficient to satisfy her strong
importantly, so the little feet encased in
the big boots began 10 play a DEVILS tattoo
on his poor shin bones. A crowd had COL
lected who laughed heartily al the big man
who owed eight dollars, which the little
woman had determined TO have satlsfac-
ton for. Finally he became enraged and
in a seuffie they both fell to the ground.
Hostillties were for the time suspended,
but the plucky little woman says she is
not half done with him yet. Moral when
you want 10 beat landlady see that she
Is old, helpless and wears thin shoes.

MKHT BfLL-How IT WILL WORK.

THE TREASURER OF KENT COUNTY IN
MULTIPLICATION LRsLIE's ATTACH
MEsT BILL-How IT WILL WORK.
Especial Correspondence Of the STATE JoUESAL. J
DOVER, Feb. 2s.-Now that both Houses
have decided to accept no new business
after the 18th Of March, the Legislature
will be able TO adjourn abo1t the 28th-
not day earlier.
Considerable excitement has been created
here this week by the announcement that
Robert P. Wilson, County Treasurer OF
Kent, Is a defanlter to the County in the
amount Of $4,000 Laet year Mr.. Wilson
failed to pay over 81 800 of the County's
funds, but subsequently settled that
amount, rather lngeniously, by paying 1t
out Of the collections from a subsequent
assessment. Since this he has run behind
In his accounts S400, and with the 81, 300
previously appropriated 10 his own use, Is
indebted to the County 5000. This
amount his suretles (of whom Representa-
tive Wilson is one) will be required to pay.
Treasurer Wilson has been dealing
largely In land OF late, made bad bar
gains, ETC., and this accounts for the dffi-
Guilty he Is now In. His sureties have
levied on all his property, the proceeds
from the sale of which will come within
about 5000 Of reimbursing them. The
county, Of course, will lose nothing.
Senator Leslie's bill, modifying the at
tachment law, will, If II is passed, be most
Infamous In its operations. The hardships
the present law entails upon those whose
wages ara attached would be nothing COM
pared with the operations Of the proposed
bill. You know II is designed TO prohibit
the attachment Of more than one half the
amount of q mans wages. To show how
this would work, suppose man gets $40 per
week and owes that amount TO some one
who would proceed TO collect It by attach
ment. He could only attach IS out of the
$40. The legsl costs for collecting the S5
would be: cost Of Judgment, 81 cents
cost of attachment, S1.36 total, 1927
amount of costs and money attached, 81 %.
The week after the first attachment Is
laid the plaintiff has another attachment
Issued to recover the remaining s. due.
As Judgment has already been given
against the defendant, the second attach
ment costs only t1.36. Now, the plaintiff
10 such a case, is only required 10 pay (for
cost Of judgment. cost Of attachment and
cancelling a $40 debt) s12.27; while
under Dr.. Leslie's bill Il would cost him
1883. II a man Is receiving but IS per
week and owes $40 which is collected by
| attachment process, a still more deplora
BILE case is made out, for three attachments
would have to he laid and II would cost
the defendant before bis Indebtedness Of
$40 would be cancelled lst sl299. These
figures speak for themselves.
II is useless to say that the Doctors bill
Is a iavorite with certain Justices of the
peace and process servers. W. 5. Z.
