most of the attendants it is a business
sacrifice, but one willingly yielded for
the public good. While this is so,
they naturally feel the sacrifice should
be lightened and even relieved wher-
ever it is possible-certainly not made
OnerOus either from indifference or dis
regard of the rights of others.
A summons to appear at court as a
juror or witness carries with it the
power of the State to enforce the COM
mand. The people reason that there
should be wise observation-disclosures
alertness on the part of those having
this power vested in them-in making
this time as short as possible, both
for the accommodation of the indi-
vidual and to save expense to the state.
This complaint comes from summon
ing witnesses to appear at the very
opening and requiring their attend
ance from day to day when there was
no probable need of their presence for
several days. There were a number
of witnesses who were in attendance
for five successive days last week at
Dover to appear before the Grand
Jury, when by proper calculation las
there are are no contending lawyers in
this roOm) two days would afford
ample limit in each case.
There was no carping criticism of the
personnel of the court. The Chief
Justice is looked upon with respect,
even veneratiOn; his associates share
with him respect becoming their po-
stiOn; the AttOrney-General with un-
usual straightforwardness and with
ability prosecuted the viOlators and
protected the interests of the common
wealth and yet, 1--WE are speaking for
the people what we saw and heard
them say, it was felt to be wasted
time and mOney-an iucOmpleteness, a
want of vigOr not commensurate with
the public demands.
This, at this term, grew out of Judge
Paynter's utter disability to take his
place on the bench and a temporary
indispOsitiOn of the presiding Judge.
Thus, cases are carried over from court
to court until they become burdensome
to all concerned. But equal with this
flor it was matter of daily complaint)
was the dissatisfaction with the sys-
tenn of laws that makes the stealing of
a shirt or a pair of boots matter to
need the attendance of several
hundred people in a county to settle it
at an expense of possibly several hun
dred dollars, when it could be done as
well and with more propriety by a
Justice of the Peace. If the people ex-
pressed properly their individual feel
ings, they think there is more than
one organic change needed in the ma
chinery of our court and our laws.

THE old way of christening a new
vessel in the act of lanching by break
ing a bottle of wine was varied Satur-
day in Wilmington. The four masted
schooner, Percy Birdsall, built at the
yards of the Jackson aud Sharp Com
pany, was christened as she glided from
the ways amid the firing of guns and
shrieking of steam whistles, by Miss
Mabel Jackson, throwing a bunch of
lilacs across her bow. Hon. Thos. F.
Bayard who was one of the spectators,
and who has a great reverence for the

this substitution of flowers on such an

THE Ballot Reform bill which Gov
ernOr Hill, of New York, signed on
Friday has some features which rem
der it less acceptable than the Aus
tralian system, but it is nevertheless a
decided step in advance for the cause
of honest elections. The bill, which
will go into effect on July l next, pro-
vides that all ballots shall be printed
by the State, and separate slips are
provided for each party making nom
ination. The chief defect of the bill is
in the ease with which the official
tickets may be exchanged and alb
stracted from the polling places. But
the secrecy of the ballot is kept in
violate, for although "pasters" may be
furnished, there is no guarantee that
they will be used.

is now an assured success. The design
selected is ornamental and will afford

The subscription lists are still open

responded so promptly. as this marks
another step in public spirit and town
