wire-Pulling for Individual Legisla-
tfon-The Special ConstabIe's Pay.
That Proposed Legislation In
the Interest of Dickey and
His Party-Injustice to the
Workingmen.
DOVER, DEL, Feb. 16.
This has been very dull week at
the State Capitol. So many of the
members go home on Friday night and
do not get back until Tuesday, that
business is greatly retarded by the fail
ure to get quorum together.
| When the members do arrive. how
ever, they get down to business, but it
has been so far, only for the purpose
of partisan legislation. The grab-all
system is the most in vogue, and it is
really amusing TO see the wire-pulling
in individual interests. Nearly every
other man that comes to Dover has
some pet scheme for which he is asking
to have bill passed, and if they don't
get them, they make Rome Jwl with
their denunciations.
The most infamous riece Of legisla-
tion that has been asked for is the bill
in reference to the Receiver of Taxes,
relegating to Mr.. Dickey the privilege
of sitting when and where he shall ses
fit to receive taxes. The proposition
to have the Office in Wilmington,
closed in the evening, meets with gem
eral disfavor. 1t is an insult to the
workingmen who cannot get away from
their work in the morning to pay their
taxes, and if the bill should pass it prac-
tically disfranchisss them.
Another Objectionable feature of the
proposed bill is that section relating to
where he may sit in the rural districts,
as it gives him the privilege of select
ing any place that may suit his fancy
regardless of the convenience of tax
payers.
And still Mr.. Dickey is not salts
fed. He is now getting salary, OF
$4,000 year, and wants an additional
$2500 for clerk hire. Win be ever be
satisfied
The State Treasury is now more
Than $4,000 in debt, but our legis-
lators think tha:. Sic, 900 more could:be
easily added on to it without any
trouble. SO that the special constables
Ito whom is due the credit of winning
the election last fall) should be paid.
But then they do not think that it
should be increased to erect State
asylum for the insane. II is necessary
that the former and like appropriations
must be made, and old election debts
must be paid.
The Sussex members were somewhat
the other day when bill was
granting the privilege to
he p.oprietors of Union st. Park, Will
to sell s.Alimentary'' refresh
ments. The members failed to grasp the
of the word, aud an order was
given for the purchase Of
two Webster's Unabridged Dictionaries
which now grace the Speakers desks in
he House and Senate. When the
of the word was ascertained,
he bill was squashed.

For the Democratic Advocate.
That New Windsor Resignation.

So much has been said about the New
Windsor resignation, in the columns Of the
county papers, that it is only just that full
statement of all the facts of the case should
be made
II is true that Mr.. Drach was removed, but
it is also true that he resigned. The letter of
resignation as published in the Sentinel was
signed by Mr. Drach, and by him given to a
friend to be mailed to the proper authorities,
hut the letter was mislaid or withheld for
some unaccountable reason, and in the mean
time Mr.. Drach was removed. No attention
would have been given the various communi-
cations, but for the fact that it was repeatedly
stated that there was no resignation, thereby
implying that Mr.. Drach had been guilty OF
falsehood. Nothing that was said in the
articles referred to can affect the standing of
Mr. Drach in this community, but the animus
which prompted them was so evidently bitter
and unfair that il is only right to state the
whole truth.
"a lie that is half the truth, is ever the
worst of lies. F"
The publication Of the letter Of resignation
and the comment thereon by the editor of
the Sentinel, appears to have been illadvised,
rs it was evidently an attempt to make politl.
cal capital out of the removal Of veteran.
The editor overooks the fact that all fourth
class commissions distinctly state that the
tenure oe office depends solely on 'the pleas.

States.n Instead Of denouncing the law under

List of Pensioners.

The Baltimore HeraH on Sunday last
published au alphabetical list of persons
living in Baltimore who are drawing pen
sion, together with their residence and
monthly allowance.
The list embraces about 1000 names,
and many of the benefciaries, says the
Herald, are conspiculously above need and
some Of them are rich and prosperous.
Next Sunday, the 18th, the Herald will
give an alphabetical list by counties of the
other pensioners in the state. The whole
number of pensioners in the state was r.
2l2 in June 1892, and their annual pen
sions aggregated s2,154,777.56. Very
many names have been added to the roll
the past year, and the total is probably
near 10000, and to pay their pensions re-
quires about $4,000, 900 a year
