The House of Representatives at
Dover yesterday we think, will be gem
eraly admitted to have acted In very
anwise manner, in going back
twenty-seven years to pay man 5000,
who says he volunteered two days be-
lore tho draft was made for soldiers,
and that not being counted on the
quota allotted to Delaware he'was en-
Titled to the amount named. 1t will
be reeollected by many who lived
through the stirring period OF our late
civil war that there were two drafts In
Delaware for men. The first draft
was for certain number of mon from
the State or in lieu OF the men 800
Communication. Tho State came for
ward with a special law, ever anxious
10 keep her sons from going to tho
war, and offered to pay $500 of the
Communication. Ofcourseall the drafted
men had to do, was to raise the other
hundred dollars and instead of giving
his person to the government he gsve
It's then equivalent $500 With which
the government was satisfied. Nv
tits needless to say that under this
araft the government got a largo
amount OF money but very few men.
rs men II they have to go to war pre-
Ter not to go as drafted men.
But the time came in the beginning
Of 1854 when the government wanted
men more than money and when the
next draft was oraersd, 1t was for
men not money. fhe only chance left
Tor drafted man to keep from going
into the arphy under the draft was to
put in a substitute and the substitute
ne bad to get at whatever price he
could. ..-. ".-
But Delaware, still mindful of her
ehildren and anxious to shield them
nom the exposures of the battlefield.
ME camp and prison, passed another
law this time giving $500 to any draft.
I'd man who would put substitute in
die field in his place, but at the same
dme only paid $500 to those enlisting
voluntar lily in the service. The quota
had to DO filled somehow and this
plan was taken to fill it. Had the State
BEEN really DESTROYS Of filling itsquota
with good Delaware soldiers 1t could
have done so by reversing its offers
and by giving each volunteer bounty
sf $500, and ssOO to those who would
not volunteer with which to purchase
substitutes.
But that is nothing here nor there,
Che case In point now is man by the
name OF Lodge, II we mistake not, ap

/ TnE STATE Senate yesterday seemed

ion that the Board OF Health of VIII

Ex-Governor Foraker exhibits some
shrcwdness in his effort to shift onto
Mr.. Sherman's shoulders the entire re-
sponsibility for whatever action may be
taken in the matter OF contesting Mr..
Brice's title to seat in the United
States senate. 1t is part OF the plan
OF the Foraker campaign to place Mr..
Sherman in this position, in the hope
that, in certain contingency, Mr.. For
aker's chances may be benefited. The
senator's friends, who comprise n ma
jority OF the Republicans OF Ohio, will
not, however, be deceived by this sort
OF practice. If Calvin 5. Brice is not
legally entitled to the seat to which the
Democratic legislature elected him, it is
as much the duty OF Mr.. Foraker. as a
citizen OF the state, as it is that OF any
other man, to act in the matter. To
declare that he "has nothing whatever
to do with the suggestion" and that the
matter rests wholly with Senator Sher-
man, will not have the affect Mr.. Fora

The AFFAIR With Chile.

Tho report OF the Associated press
correspondent at Valparaiso is altogeth.
or favorable TO Minister Egan, who, the
correspondent declares, has done his
best to advance American interests in
all proper ways, and who, during the
war, preserved dignilicd neutrality.
The correspondent reports, also, what
is easily believed, because it has been
said before and accords with all tho
probabilities Of the casc-that British
manoeuvering had good deal TO do
with the war and since then has been
busy trying to place Americans in q
bad light.
1t is cold business with the English
traders, and the history OF their COM
mercial enterprises shows that they are
not always nice about their methods.
Ii they could incite prejudice against
the United States and Its citizens they
would have better chance to retain
the hold they have on the commerce OF
Chile. They were after tho pounds
shillings and pence.
II Minister Egan has behaved badly
nobody would DO quicker to criticise
him and demand his removal than the
secretary OF state, who well under
stands the diplomatic proprictics and
is jealous OF the good name OF his coun-
try and is eager to open new markets
for American products.
We may be sure that Mr.. Blaine has
had his eye on the Chilean business and
will not allow his country to suffer be-
cause OF any consideration for an un-
worthy representative.
