Dover Delawarean. ~
Rafore this paper reaches our readers,
the re,n,lar session Of the General Assem-
Nv ~ 1889 viii be thing Of the past
ana we have no doubt that the people
M Delaware will with one voice, eNclaim
1Tbe Lord be Praised And we are
sure that the prayer of all decent people
will be that no other such General As
sembly will ever meet in this state.
When they first assembled on the first
day Of January, the people were given to
understand that this was to be a model
reform Legislature. That the rights Of
the people were to be respected, and that
true economy was to be the watchword,
especially Of the House. This however,
was only a promise to the ear, which has
been dispellsd by time, and to the bitter
disappointment of the people. Instead
of being reform and an economical Leg
islature IL has been everything else.
The rights of the people have been
ignored entirely, and as far as economy,
we say without hesitation that this has
been the most extravagant Legislature
that ever convened in this state; in fact,
the peoples money has been voted away
without hesitation, for every job that
some paid lobbyist was hired TO advocate.
The fact is that persons with legitimate
business. could not get respectable
hearing before some Of the committees,
until the services of some favorite parti
san was secured then he could be heard
and have his business attended 70. To
the disgrace Of the state and to the mem
bers of the General Assembly it can be
truthfully said that no state since the
foundation Of the government has ever
been cursed with more corrupt lobby
than has controlled the Legislation dur
ing the entire session
IL gives rs no pleasure to have to
speak in this manner about the Legisla-
ture of the state but the truth ought TO
be told and the community warned
against the election Of such men in the
future. Mr.. Herbert, the state treas
urer. showed by his report this winter
that he had a surplus IN hand of $64, 900.
This Legislature has squandered that
amount and much more, and we are con
fdent that the state treasurer viii have to
borrow money 10 pay the bills contracted
by the Legislature. Outside Of the
squandering of 1.-the money, bills that are
as diabolical and as disgraeeful as the
Credit Mobilier Bill, have passed the
General Assembly at the dictation of
money in the hands of men, claiming to
have the interest of the state at heart.
Let us hope that the state will rever be
cursed by another set Of legislators.
whose chief delight has been to gratify
personal greed trample upon the rights
Of the people and totally disregard the
constitution Of the stale and the welfare
Of the people, We are happy to say that
there were few men in the Legislature
that had the interest Of the people at
heart who gave at all times hearing to
the people, and who were not led by out
siders and parties who commanded bills
TO lay on the table or be poeketed until
they We're hired by those seeking legisla-

BELMONT. n. r., April 27.-SheriH Gar
wood discovered that something was wrong
at the jail in Angelica a few days ago, and
upon examination found that " u laid plans
had been made by twelve prisoners to escape.
1t seems that several strangers had visited
the jail of late for the purpose Of seeing the
prisoners and il now comes out that they
were friends of three or four Of the inmates
who are wanted in different parts of the
country for burglary a d bank robbery, and
had been furnishing them tools to be used in
accomplishing their escape The sher II placed
a detective in the cell with the prisoners
and he discovered the plot Sheriff Garwool
with an assistant visited the cell with cooked
revolyers ana demanded Of them an ax, a
saw, a drill, etc. which he knew they had,
all of which was brought forth. Examinp-
ton showed that a hole had been cut through
the floor about two feet square An iron
bedstead had been broken up and the posts
concealed, probably TO be used as a weapons
if they should be needed.

HAS the p. W. g. b. railway under
taken the job Of reducing the population
of DelawareY Withina few weeks there
have been frlghtful accidents some Of
which were published and some were
not. Yesterday we published an ac-
count Of the running down Of DR.. John
Scott near Newport and al account Of
the inquest over the bodies of J5hn and
Matilda Wade and boy, John Lender
man. Miss Finn. and Miss Polk have
just recovered from broken bones and
shattered nerves which held. their lives
in the balance from similar accidents
near the same place These fatalities
are pleasan tiy called accidents. After
many people were run down and killed at
the bridge crossing gates were put up to
make an excuse for more reckless train
running. The crossing at which the
three people were killed has been a source
OF dreadful apprehension for months aud
years Narrow escapes have been fre-
quent and blood .curdling. The P. /,
". & B. road, controlled by the
pennsylvania corporation is too rich and
inhuentialto,be TO called to account. The
state officers are afraid and the mnhici-
pal officers think they lack the author
ity. This is. a state of things which
certainly demands immediate attention.
The people should demand that the
Pennsylvania road take means to prevent
these fatal accidents.
