Preserving the Balance.

Editors Drawer, in llarper's Magazine
Tor February.
Old Capt. Stanley, who lives
down in the middle of Kentuck, was
a good old Hard shell Baptist, who
occasionally would tell story ut
the expense of some otthc brethren.
Many years ago they were not so
conspicuously orthodox in the TEN
pcrance question as they are in our
time. "Dn one Occa>lon,' said the
captain, 1.-THE brethren down III my
region were about To have n grand
church gathering, and all the faith
ful IN the meighhorhond were expect
ed to exert themselves to entertain
suitably and Hospitality the visiting
brethren. I've ot my ncichbOrs met
each other just before the grand
gathering. one of whom said:
Nv hat are yon going To do:
"Well,' replied the man, 'rve laid
in gallon of frst.rate whisky
"A gallonr rrtoited his neighbor,
with look of contempt. why, I've
got "a barrel; and you are just AS
able to support the Gospel as | am.
/ In those days you could always
tell Hard shell by looking AT him
/ from behind: one OF the skirts of his
coat wouid hang lower than the
other-the one in which he carried
/ his bottle. But the captain said
there was one old brother down
there whose UNCONVENTIONAL views
conldn't he ascertained in that way
his skirts hung even-a bottle IN
each pocket.

Turn on the Light.

The annual meeting of the Board Of
Trustees of the Poor will be held next
Wednesday, when the Board will be
re-Organized by either re-clecting the
present officers or new ones. At this
meeting there will be a general over
hauling Of the accounts of the year
The receipts and expenditures will of
course all be balanced to the satiSfac-
lion of the members of the Board, but
the outside public, who pay the taxes,
will not be allowed to know anything
about it, as particular pains will be
taken to exclude all reporters or inQuiSi-
tive persons in search Of information.
The poor old drcrepit gate-keepcr will
keep his top-eyc open to give the alarm
if a reporter should come within a
square Of the old tumblr-down Aims
House, and the rooms in which the
meetings Of the Board are held will no
doubt be under double lock and key as
security against public scrutiny. The
outside public may be allowed TO know
how many inmates there are in the in
Stitution, and how much money in
lump it took TO pay the bills, that the
building is fresh scrubbed and bright as
new pin, that great credit is due the
Superintendent, the physicians and
other officers for the faithful perform
ances Of their duties, that so and SO are
elected officers and such like as tn,
Board may or may not see proper tC
make known to the public, but in all
the minutia thai would interest the tax
payers the mouths Of the Trustees will
be closed as tight As oysters. OF course
the public has no business to know what
the supplies are furnished for and how
it is that after asking for proposals no.
body but Democrats get contracts. The
public has no business to know how
much is paid TO one Of the members o
the Board as contractor, nor has i
any business To know that the commit
tee to audit the accounts of the suppl,
committee is composed of the same per
SONS with one exception, who are mem
berS of the supply committee. If thi
is not true let the Board publish thci
Committees. Let the light in on tn
proceedings OF the Board of Trustees q

The Election Trial Farces.

The disagreement of the iuries in the
cases of the United States against
Thomas Brdgemm and Charles Shields
charged with asSaulting Artemas Will
helm, Deputy United States Marshall
each jury dividing by party lines is
but farther evidence that for political
offences the law is OF no avail. In the
Bridgeman jury there were seven he
publicanS and tive Democrats and they
divided seven for conviction and five
for acquittal. In the Shields case there
were eight Democrats and four Repub-
licans, and the jury divided eight for
clearing and four for conviction. If
this is the way all iurieS are to act in
political cases then farewell to justice
in the United States District Courts.
1t will be remembered that this was
one of the riders tackled to one of the ap-
preparation bills by Senator Mcdonald,
and strongly advocated by Senator Bay
ard. AT the time of its passage IA great
many persons III the south were under
indictment for outrageS and political
offences and all such persons were Dem
ocrats. Under the old mode Of permitting
the United States Marshal to select the
juries there WAS some chance Of secur-
ing a conviction rs the Marshal would
not select any person SO biased and
prejudiced that they would not render
u verdict according to the evidence.
This, it was found by the Democratic
Congress, had to he overcome in some
manner, even if it did prostitute justice
to partisan purposes and the Democrats
found no better plan than to pass a law
appointing Democratic Commissioner
who should choose half the jury. The
Commissioner being IA Democrat, of
course knowing what is expected ofhim,
selects all Democrats, and the United
States Marshal TO offset the Democrats
is compelled to select all Republicans.
Thus is politics intcrjected in the Uni
ted States Courts, by controlling the Sc
lection of jurieS which are known before
hand will not convict for political of
fence Mr.. Bayard'S new law works
well in aiding violators Of law to escape
punishment, especially when the State
of Delaware comes to his aid and fees
attorneys from the State Treasury to de-
tend these same viOlatOrS.

The Price OfGaS.

1t was clearly shown in the article
published in the EErrBLlCAN, u few
days ago, that the Wilmington Coal
LAS Company charged less for 1000 feet
OF gas than is demanded by the great
majority accompanies in our country.
1t was also shown that as the number of
consumers had increased the price
had been reducpd and it is fair infer
ence that this courS" will be continued
to twelve per cent. Indeed we are as
sured if the number of consumers con-
tinue to increase in the ratio that now
seems probable, that the charge for Gas
will be reduced to Sl.jO per thousand
feet before the expiration of the present
year. This is u lower rate we believe
than is charged by any company in the
United States. We may therefore ash
the question is il good policy, is it wise
is it business like, to institute a compe
tition that will lessen the number O
consumers, and thus prevent furthe
reduction of price ? Besideit is wors
than folly to incommOde our citizens j,
