CHEATING IN LAWARE.

Reputable Democrats in Delaware are thor
oughly ashamed of the political trickery and
cheating practised by their party. Fully
$500 citizens of Wilmington have been de-
spoiled of their right to vote in the next Prcsi-
Dental election and the same system of dis
honest dealing is adopted in the remaining
counties The proceedings at the City Hall
last week, when three Democratic assessors
with a partisan police supporting them con-
trived to exclude hundreds of Republicans from
the privilege of enrolment as citizens, have
brought bushes to the faces of all but we'll
seasoned Democrats. "The STAR" an indie
pendent Democratic Journal denOunces the dis
reimbursement of Republicans as ga crime
against liberty and dccency." and dastardly
assault upon the rights Of the people. 1t
refers in detail to the deliberately planned de-
lays in the assessment work. the disregard OF
all forms of law and justice the insolence and
arrogance of the officials, and the shameless
manner in which the police force was used in
the consummation Of foul conspiracy against
liberty. 1t declares with emphasis that attests
the sincerity of its protest against the methods
Of its own party that these outrages were
"sufficicnt to have provoked in a less law
abiding community the lynching of the men
guilty of such dastardly conduct" THE
TRIBUNE's own censure Of these monstrous
proceedings is mild and lukewarm in COMPARE
son with these glowing denunciations from an
outspoken and fearless Democratic journal
The law compelling electors to pay their
taxes nine months before an election in order
to qualify themselves for voting would not be
an iniquitous one If it were not enforced against
Republicans exclusively. AS matter of fact,
an clcctor in Delaware if he be Democrat,
can pay his taxes at any time before November
and not be deprived of the privilege Of voting
The officials make practice Of carrying Demo
cratic delinouents on the lists at their discrc-
ton, and Of dropping every one who is known
to be a Republican. When a name is once
erased it can only be restored after vexatious
delay and at the option Of partisan officials.
In no circumstances can it be put back until
after the expiration of twelve months. and
then it will be too late for the Republican
voter to qualify himself for citizenship at the
second election after his disfranchisement. In
consequence Of the partisan enforcement of the
statutes Republicans are Systematically de-
frauded of their political rights while Demo-
Gratis are never reported as delinQuents. but are
enabled to vote on election day by the manlpu-
ation of The lists in the interest of their party
In plain words elections in Delaware are car
Iicd by low trickery and contemplate cheating.
What is done in nearly every Southern State
is done also in the historic pocket borough OF
the Bayards. With an honestly conducted
election Delaware would be Republican State.

President Cleveland consumed much mid
night oil a year ago in writing vctoes of pension
bills. It is generally conceded that he did not
thereby increase his popularity. and this year
it has been dccrecd that he shall not be embar-
raised as he was last, That is the explanation
given by our Washington correspondent Of the
failure OF Chairman Matson, OF the House Com
mittee on Invalid Pensions. to report any pen
sion bills. The committee are willing to hear
anything that anybody has to offer on the sub
ject but there's an end Of it. Mr. Cleveland
doesn't like pension bills and he must not be
bothered with them; besides. vetoes might
interfere with his chances of rc-clcction-pro-
vided he gets the nomination. This is not
lofty and patriotic view for the Chief Magis-
trate Of a great Republic of frcemcn to take;
and il follows that the idol of the Mug
wumps is only common mortal, after all.

THE PROSPECT IN PARLIAMENT

Obstruction tactics were formally abandoned
by Mr. Parnel fortnight ago. MIR. Gladstone
in his opening speech went further and gave
pledges that the Opposition would lend aid
in forwarding the Governments local govern
ment bill and other schemes Of beneficial legs-
lation. The Home Rule leaders have united in
recommending the discontnuance OF all Efforts
on the part of their followers to block the
wheels of legislation. They arc willing to
clear the track and even to help in setting the
Tory train in motion. Their motives arc prob
ably mixed they perhaps dread the effect of
obstruction tactics on the English constitu-
encies, which are anxious TO Nave various re-
form measures enacted and will be likely to
resent factiOus opposition to them; and they
may also hope that discussions will arise in the
Unionist ranks when new questions arc
preached. In any event they have removed
the pretext for stringent changes in the rules
and shown a most conciliatOry spirit MIR
Smith has met these pacific ovcrtures with
assurances that no radical notifications are
contemplated by the Government The ses-
sion has opened quietly, almost listlessly.
There may be startling surprises in reserve,
but it promises to be a dull and prosaic but
very busy and useful session.
The Governments optimism respecting The
results of coercion is natural. The abatement
of certain classes of crime and the maintenance
of peace and order in districts where the Crimes
Act has been applied have revived the courage
Of Ministers They have enforced the law
with great severity, yet have not provoked
outbreaks of atrocious crime and serious resist
of,lo 70 fry
restoration Of the authority of the Crown in
Ireland and look upon Mr.. BaIfour as master
of the situation. In order to demonstrate the
unf1inching frmness of the Government in
dealing with the island an Irish member who
had successfully defed the police in his own
home is arrested outside the Houses Of Par
lament. The Governments responsibility
for the rigorous enforcement of the Crimes
Act is not shirlked The Ministers credit them
selves with making good use of the extraor-
binary powers conferred upon them and with
gaining ground steadily in their struggle to
uphold the dignity Of the Crown.
The last Coercion Act has unqucstionably
proved efficient and successful in certain re-
spects. It has enabled Mr.. Balfour to secure
a large number of convictions for press and
political offences. IF these convictions were
supported by Irish opinion, this would be a
signal victory for the Tories. As jury trials
are suspended and the sentences are passed by
magistrates dependent upon Dublin Castle. the
forms OF justice are regarded by Irishmen as
essentially alien. The convicts are suffering
patriots. prosecuted for their devotion to the
popular cause and they are honored with.
triumphal professions and public acclamations

REpuBLIcAyS ORGANIZING ~ THIS CITY.

session at the Republican Club House last evening and

Police Justice Smith and three four Others. Tho

Democratic voter, far possible should have

fully. Su6cOmmittccs were appointed to investigate
tho affairs of tho various districts. These will maks

Blanc hard said that he would be glad receive sug
gestions from Republicans throughout the city as "a
