The resignation Of Chief Swiggett If
honest is commendable. II not honest il
is an insult to the intelligence of the
community If honest the chief would
elevate and clear himself by standing by
it.
The chief has been guilty Of a moral
delinquency Of a nature too grave to con
tinue in the office of chief Of police and
command the respect Of his men or Of the
community. He has made oaths which
are not true, he has attempted 10 show
that he was ignorant Of the law; he has
taken money to which he was not en-.
titled.
Restoration Of ill-gotten gains is not
virtue. He could not do less than return
what was never his. A street thief will
restore lady's purse if caught in the
act. That is not a virtue. Il IS simply
forced confession and forced restora
tion.
The chief should not call on Mayor
Harrington and the community To share
part Of the burden Of his guilt and Of
his alleged ignorance. He has no posi-
BILE excuse for being ignorant or guilty. If
he has, then he has no excuse
for being the chief Of the police force.
The fact Of his ignorance Of such mat
ter is evidence enough Of unftness. Igno.
rance Of the law and ignorance Of good
morals in man Of the intelligence and
experience Of Chief Swiggett intensifies
his unftness for the place he holds. But
it is impossible 70 conceive that he was
ignorant.
He and Pyle both concealed the trans.
actions, It is an old adage that he who
steals will lie. It is false that Chief
Swiggett took that money "inadver.
tently. Chief Swiggett does not do
things inadvertently. There are all
the evidences to show that he took that
money with all the knowledge and all of
the consciousness that he has now. But
he did not know that anybody else than
Pyle knew it.
This city has right to demand that a
chief shall be neither guilty nor ignor-
ant.
There is nothing to do but enforce an
honest resignation. If it proves dis
honest one it will emphasize all that
made it necessary.
The whole transaction shows a low
tone of morals that is disgraceful to the
city. 1t was on plane of low morals
that the money was secretly taken from
the city treasury, it was on low plane
that Chief Swiggett made those false
afiidayits month after month, it is on a
low tone that Mayor Harrington defends
the chief and that some members Of the
community excuse the guilty man and
his defenders.

THE Supreme Court Of New York has
confirmed decision Of the lower court
against TIE Mechanics Bank Of Brook
lyn. Henry Ward Beecher's win left to
his son Herbert one-quarter Of his per-
sonal estate, the share amounting to
$4,000. A part Of this was paid to Mrs
Beecher, the legatee's mother and a
check for the rest (s92s692) upon the
Mechanics Bank, where the estate was
deposited, was sent to Herbert Beecher
at Port Townsend, Washington. where
he was Collector Of the Port. Meantime
a Mr.. Chase had secured a
judgment against Beeeher for $500 for
street-car advertising for Herbert Foote
Beecher 4 Co., young Beecher having en-
gagged in the soap manufacturing bust,
ness under that name in 1870 ana failed.
The Judgment was taken by default The
executors Of Henry Ward Beeeher S
estate had refused to pay it, and Chase
thereupon had secured the appointment
Of receiver who obtained writ Of at.
tachment against the money in the bank
The bank refused to recognize any
responsibility on its part in the matter
and when the check came back from Port
Townsend with Herbert Beecheri
endorsement they honored It.
Now the court holds the bank responsi
bic for the Judgment. The legal point
involved is an important one, as it makes
it possible for judgment creditors to at
tach trust funds in bank or other de
pository by the device Of securing the ap
pointment Of receiver for the debtor, the
receiver, suing ia the name Of the debtor,
having right Of action against the
trust fund that creditor would not
have

The Wilmington florists who gave the
chrysanthemum exhibition in the Odd
Fellows Hall last week, cleared all ex-
penses, but considered themselves only
partly paid for the labor and the
cultivation of the exhibition plants.
They consider that the success Of the ex
hibition was due to the newspapers, par
ticularly to the EVENING JOURNAL. An
exhibition that will surpass last week S
is promised for next November. The
firms who gave the exhibition presented
the EVENING JOURNAL with a large and
beautiful plant Of Jennie Y. Murkland. 1T

LittIo Observation-Disclosures.

Little l-My-Whiskers has regal ways,
The chubby, fat-footed Slip of a man;
lie Is Shah Of realm which he quantity
sways
From his throne in the ilreside Teheran.
Over hill and dale he doth hravely ride
On his fiery steed, the pRternal knee,
With all Of a despot's reckless pride
And a peacock's plume for snickersnee.
He Is full OF whims as becomes a Shah,
And his thirst for adventure never slakes:
Now he wars on Grimalkin. and now the law
OF the pantry his restless spirit breaks.
He has taken a trip to Grandmother Town.
Where the gay old woman sits and huns
A song of the days when her hair was brown
Ere she found the peace that with twilight
comes
There in the corner she sits and tells
(LO, the Shah has ceased his barbaric noise
OF deep-voiced giants and elves in the dells,
And of good and bai little girls and boys.
With his head at rest on the kindly lap
of the dear old woman who spins him tales
The shah at last has begun a nap
As the lamps are lighted and twilight fails
And a giant comes and carefully lifts
The form of the Shah of the drowsy head
And bears him away where the darkness
drifts,
10 his royal rest in a truckle-bed.

THE names Of those whom Mayor Har-
rington mentions as supporting him in
his stand thai Wilmington would go to
the .demnition bow vows" if Chief Swig-
gett should abandon the poor old city, do
not add moral weight to the decision.
They certainly know how to squeeze a
dollar tin the eagle screams but they are
entirely ignorant Of moral science. They
are no more competent to decide ques-
tion Of ethics, Of morals. or Of law than
an oyster is to build ship or TO run q
coal ward.
