CHIEF JUSTICE CoSfEGYs characterized
the Five Commissioner Bill and the di-
vidiug of hundreds in Sussex county by
the Democratic legislature as "revolu-
tionary" and contrary to good govern
ment Coming from Democrat and a
Chief Justice this private opinion ex-
pressed publicly, is worth great deal to
honest people; but to the howling hoard
of spoilsmen, and would be Congress
men and United States Senators it carries
no weight. The opinion Of honorable
men of this character with this gang is
well voiced by the EveaiAg Journal when
it says:
We have great respect for Chief Justice
Comegys but hasty, unwarranted, un-
just and ill-considered opinion from him
is as worthless concerning the Five Com
missiOners bill as the same sort Of street
corner opinion from anyone else would
be- We think the matter and manner of
the Chief Justices comments on a meas
IRE which is the result of two years study
of some of the best minds in the Demo
cratic party does him an injustice.
Best minds in the Democratic party
Can it be possible that Senator Gray as
sisted in drawing these bills; or the Hon.
4. +. Bayard loaned his brain to conceiv-
ing this piece Of political trickery; or
Hon. Eli Saulsbury-or scores of other
men recognized as above the common
herd Of Democracy?

ASIDE from personal likes and dislikes
and the manner in which it was brought
about, it is perhaps just as well that the
Federal Election bill has been to all in
tents and purposes abandoned as a perty
measure. While acknowledging the ne
cessity for some such law, a great many
Republicans have been Of the opinion
that It was now too late to do what ought
to have been done years ago. tits not
necessary for US to agree with these gen
tlemen, or to disagree with them; but we
have no hesitation in saying that as long
as the Republican party could not be
united in favor Of this measure, it was the
best thing for the party interest to give it
up. II should, however, have been given
up willingly BY action Of the Republican
caucus, and not forced out as it was by a
combination Of Republicans and Demo-
crafts. But it has been done in that way,
and it is useless to cry over spilled milk;
and those gentlemen engaged in promul-
eating DEGREES reading this or that Sena.
tor out Of the party would better be en-
gagged in something more useful to the
party. II the Republican party is TO
elect a president next year, it will GER
lainly have need Of an the votes it can
yet, and it cannot afford, even ifit could
q done. to drive away the support Of the
asn who are opposed 70 the Election bill.

A few years ago, the money lenders of
Sussex county conceived the idea that
the exemption law was detrimental to
their interests, in that it put a limit to
their Shylock greed in dealing with I'M
fortunates. The exemption of a certain
amount ofhousehold property, mems tools
and the necessary implements to gain
living, is wise and humane provision.
No family should be set out at the mercy
Of the elements, or the wife aud children
be pinched for the bare necessities of lite,
because misfortune has made it impossi-
bic for the head Of family to pay to the
last dollar his Indebtedness to a heartless
money lender Our legislature will be
using its time much more wisely by en-
acting an exemption law for Sussex
county, that will save many child from
bitter want, than it has done so far by
considering the radical political measures
that are intended to reverse the will OF
the people and steal for the Democratic
party the control of two counties now in
the management of Republicans.

THE miscarriage Of the plans to steal
the county government Of both Sussex
and New Castle counties, was not due to
any virtuous intentions on the part of the
Democratic promoters of this schemes,
or their regard for the advice of their
honest party councillors; but to the fact
that they could not muster a Democratic
majority in the Senate to put their force
bills through We hope we think right
of Senator Williams by believing he
would not have voted for this shameless
political measure; which was conceived
only 70 reverse the expressed will Of the

BY the auditors report the school fund
is found to be more than sufficient to pay
all demands upon it, and the present leg
islature should pass such laws as will give
to the people free text books. This step
is necessary. There are now living in
the districts around this town several
children who moved here at January Ist,
and who are not attending school be-
cause the books they own are not the
same kind as those used in our public
schools, and their parents are not able to
purchase the set of books necessary to
supply a family of six children. Free
school books are a positive necessity.

dsa.seii y, a. ...:, , :. Legislature must assist
y 80 % save this money, by dividing
Cedar Greek and Little Creek hundreds
in Sussex county-thereby gaining two
levy courtmen for Governor Reynolds to
appoint, and enacting a Five Commis-
sioner bill to take effect at once in New
Castle county. This is all there is in this
measure, and the rapacious office seekers
know it. The work that was done in
the legislature was intended to effect not
only the campaign of 1892, but that of
1894, when a Senator to succeed Senator
Higgins will be chosen-so it is plain to
see how far reaching is the mischievious
attempted legislation of the present body.

Already gossip is busy suggesting
names for the successor of the late Sec

that the President has an unusually
hard task before him in filling the va
cancy. There are fortunately plenty Of
strong, able and skillful financiers; men
of the necessary broaduess Of mind and
strength of purpose to move straight
ahead on a line of policy, once adopted
in spite Of the thousand and Que wildcat
financial schemes which will he certain

tatives, 1t will be difficult to get these,
men to consent to assume responsibilities
the weight of which have undoubtedly
killed three men-Secretaries ISolger,
Manning aud WiudOm--within the last
three administrations.
It Is generally believed here that Re
preventative Mckinley could receive the
appointment if he would accept it, which
his Gloss friends say, is extremely doubt
full. However, Mr.. Mckinley is a very
warm friend Of the administration, and
have an idea that if the President con
cludes that he is the best man for the
position he can persuade him to accept

 Rebels Win Eventually Succeed.
 LONDON, May 9.-Colonel North, known as the nitrate king, complains that the statement published to the effect that he had expressed belief that the Balmaceda Government would sooner or later crush the insurrection now existing in Chilli, misrepre3ents him. Colonel North de- nies that he made any such prediction. Inasmuch, however, as such report has been put in circulation the Colonel adds:
 q think it well to say now that from my private advices I learn that the best blood is among the Parliamentary party which the people favors as against that led by President Balmaceda. Therefore, I am rather inclined to believe that the insurgents will eventually succeed"
