acular emphasis, docs not publish yer,

This was not especially encouraging tx
the young poet, and he changed the CONVEX

that his last poem in The Century had en-

that the witness had no more right to

proof that Henry Coleman had regis
tered on October %. Mr.. Biggs con-
tended. The State law provides for
a record OF voters registered. Unless
the district attorney could prove that
the State books could be procured
he could not introduce any secondary
evidence.
The court decided that the books OF
the Federal GU pervisors was as much
primary evidence as the State book.
Clerk Of the Peace Biggs testified to
the original assessment book OF the
Second ward. showing that Coleman
was on for 1850 and 1890 and not for
1891 and 1899. The deiinquent's name
would not appear onthe certified book.
When the book was handed to the court
he said 10 looked III erasures had been
mede In front OF the name Of Henry
Coleman. A magplfying glass was
secured and the page examined.
The book was then offered In evi-
dence. Upon dissemination by
Mr.. Blggs. the clerk OF the peace
stated that Coleman's name was on
the general assessment OF 1889 and
was therefore assessed for 1889, $780,
1891 and 1872. Mistakes might be
made in making the assessment lists
and also on the delinquent lists.
On redirect examination Clerk Biggs
said that he first noticed the erasure IN
front of Coleman's name October 30,
when he was before the grand jury,
The assessment books of tho Second
ward containing Coleman's name were
examined by tho jury, with the aid Of
the magnifying glass, to see whether
erasures had been made. The govern

Attorney Biggs then requested the
court to instruct the jury to return a
verdict of not guilty in tho case. The
first ground was that nobody had been

Though the objection of Senator
Higgins to the confirmation Of Hew-
non e. I.annan az United States Mar
ehal for the district Of Delaware will not
prevent his second appointment and
his serving in the Office until Congress
meets again, the Senator did perfectly
right In making his objections. espe-
elaily SO as he had the most ample
grounds for doing 90. Had he not
done 30 the Democratic papers that
4 re- now finding fault with him for OPP
u pooling the confirmation would have
been accusing him OF Inconsistency.
This Is one OF the appointments in
which no selt-respecting Republican
should take any part, except to con-

of honor and trust in the nation.
Intact they have been appointed TO

only refer to it to show that MFR. Lam
nan under oath to be loyal subject
should not have been found amongst
those who fought to destroy the gov
eInment he had sworn to uphold.
But the most Objectionable point to
Mr.. Lannan's appointment is his vile
+ partisanship. He had perfect right
to hea Democrat, in fact little else
could be expected OF an ex-rebel.
though there are many honorable ex-
ceptions, but there Is limit to vile
even criminal partisanship beyond
which even the worst Democrats
should not go.
Mr.. Lannan seemed to be oblivious
as to this limit line, and was ready
to go to any extent to serve his party.
We need not refer to the particularly
Objectionable action OF Mr.. Lannan in
politics. His ''screwdriver" exploit!
10 the most talked about, because be
Ing performed publicly. the most Ii
known about it. Tho time when he
was assessor of the Second district
was dark period OF the Republican
party OF Wilmington. Nearly all thu
Republican poll taxables were dis
franchised, and it was not until tivt
years ago when they were met in the
City Hall with clubs and pistols Ii
the hands of Mayor Rhodes police,
men, that they began to assert theii
rights.
We expect Mr.. Lnnnan to pursue the
same extreme partisan course whit
Marshal that he pursued before. bu
without the power to do as much harm
He cannot be an assessor, nor al
election inspector while he Is Marshal
For this the Republicans have reason
to be most profoundly grateful. Eyel

Gratis lay out the same line for hi
government that they demanded o
Marshal MahaiIy, that tho sting of hi
offensive partisanship will not be per
