LONDON, July r. Now that the coun-
sci tor the ParneIlites have withdrawn
from the field It looks as though the Par
nell commission would play to empty
benches for the balance Of the season.
Long before the doors were thrown
open the corridors leading to the cham
bers where the commission holds its ses-
sions were packed with people anxious
to gain admission, for It was known that
some OF the counsel would make their
adieux to the court and an interesting
scene was expected.
ParnelI's Withdrawal
Upon the opening Of the commission,
Sir Charles Russell, counsel for Mr.. Par
nell, arose and, addressing the court,
stated that after full consideration Of
the situation Mr.. Parnen had instructed
him and Mr.. Asquith, also Of counsel, to.
no longer represent him before the COM
mission.
In reply to Sir Charles statement,
which virtually was notification that
Mr. Parneli declined to make any fur
Their presentation of his case before the
commission, Presiding Justice Hammer
said: Mr.. Parnell will, of course, re-
main subject to the jurisdiction Of the
! court.
Messrs. Reid and Lockwood, counsel
for other members OF parliament against
whom charges were made by The Times,
then also withdrew from the case.
To Suppress ParneIvs Criticism.
Mr.. ParnelI is anxious to have his
own cross examination before the COM
mission done with so that he may be
left with free hands when the time
comes for him to go to Edinburgh to ac-
cept the freedom OF that city, which the
municipality rendered him more than a
month ago.
But the attorney general is evidently
determined that Mr.. Parnell shall not be
left free to pitch into the commission
when he gets to Edinburgh and SO hav-
ing obtained a postponement of the
cross examination he purposes keeping
Parnell dancing attendance upon the
commission at his own pleasure.
Futile Trick
II Is not likely, however. that this
piece of malice on the part Of the attor-
ney general will be of any avail. The
ceremony at Edinburgh will prove too
good an opportunity for a caustic ar
raignment Of the commission by the
Parnellites, and though Mr.. Parnell
himself may be legally estopped from
criticising court before which he Is by
this trick kept as a witness there VIII be
nothing to prevent his giving utterance
10 his indignation through any one of
the Irish orators who will accompany
him on his trip.
Whatever Mr.. Parnell has to say on
that occasion of the commission viii be
said by Justin Mccarthy or William
O'Brien. but it will be well understood
by all concerned that though the voice

A oLsRerxAs,s DOWNFALL.
He wanted n Young Woman GO
EIope with Him.


LAUREL, Nov. 3.-The people Of the
country adjacent TO Harrington and
Greenwood are greatly excited over the
conduct OF the Rev. O. B. Gruber,
Methodist ProtestRn. minister on that
oircuit, and Miss Mary Porter, member
OF the church choir. Mr.. Gruber is Of
gentlemanly department and scholar.
He only recently joined the conference,
leaving the United Brethren, claiming
that he desired broader and more lucra-
tive fields.
He was sent to this charge on trial and
was considered one Of the most promising
young men in the conference. He be-
gan his relations with Miss Porter during
an extra prayer and praise meeting.
Their conduct had a demoralizing effect
on the church. Prominent members OF the
congregation implored him to desist in
his attention to this young woman. All
suspicions were sllayed until last We'd
nesday when a letter was received al the
Greenwood post effice for Miss Porter.
The postmaster, Frank Porter, q brother
Of the girl, opened the letter. The
preacher asked the girl to meet him in
Harrington and they would leave for
parts unknown. He discarded bis wife
and children and lived only for her. He
has been discharged and advised to
leave town by the highly incensed people
or bodily harm will be done him. The
three churches Of the charge have boon
closed.

/. j. proRahly true that Delaware con-
talns as many corrupt political officials as
any STATE IN the Union. The greed for
Office Is Of the most paramount, aud tna
ballot has been corrupted time again by
politicians. Office holders have become
corrupt by ther greed, and honest mon
have become thoroughly diagustei. Is 1t
any wonder that hOaest men stay away
from the polls, nor care not to vote The
candidate Is, too often n spokesman; he "a
supported by his heucHmen, aud the -poiis
dt tue Office must be- divided between tbs
most faithful. Crnokedless In high places
rnrst and will be rebuked The Independent
voter mus he looked 10 10 purify political
parties. 1t IL TO be hoped that honest
men who are not Wsdled 10 either
faction, aud have manhood to vote their
honest convictions may thus rebuke the
spoilsmen who clgmor for the high Offices.
Wiimin2ton stands Rs fair sample OF po-
litlcal misrule. Some OF her officers stand
accused as wrong.doers and brib6-tRkers.
What more can be expected when the greed
for Office Is predominant. There are hun
dreds OF politicians ready to ''catch on to
the slightest pretext to be a candidate.
They push their claim with vigor and do
such tricks that Is really surpcising They
are not the least particular about the mode
pursued in gathering in the votes. The
Independent votes arc Increasing, and
through this source can meu above the
spoilsmen be elsctel.
