by the Grand Jury of the United
States Court began on Monday last
with Ex-Secretary of State Bayard
and Ex-City Solicitor VIM. Lyman as
counsel for the defence, appointed by
the Governor. Their fees will be paid
by the State by virtue of the action
of the Legislature in the passage OF a
resolution to that effect. With the
constables paid either by the State dt
being understood that such bill will
be introduced) or by New Castle
County, and the counsel fees in the
cases before the United States Court
to be paid by the State, it does seem
that the efforts of the opposite party is
to pay its election expenses out OF the
public funds-another proof of the
fact that Democratic politicians big
and little do not work for love and
glory alone; that from the highest
Tex Secretary of State Bayard) down
to the special constables all must be
paid for their services But the ma
jority of the tax payers of Delaware
cannot consistently say one word
against this additional public expense
for by their expression at the polls on
Nov. 8 last, they endorsed the Demo
crat and they must abide by that de,
cision.

THE APPOINTMENTS.

Speaker of the Senate Houston il
to be congratulated upon the unusual
fairmindedness he has displayed in
making up the Senate. His recogni-
tion of the Republican members is es-
pecially to be commended and is in
striking contrast to the narrow parti-
sanship of the preceding speaker,
John P. Donahoe. Like Speaker
Whiteman of the House, his evident
intention is to put the very best men
on the important committees that the
work of legislation may be expedited.
The appointment of Senator Pilling
as member of number of the
principal committees and as chairman
of the Finance Committee is a high
tribute to worthy man. No man in
the State is better equipped to fill any
public trust that may be reposed in
him than the"sturdy oak of the White
Clay Creek" and this recognition of
his sterling worth by Democratic
Speaker is one of the greatest compli-
ments he could have conferred on
him.

PHILLIPS BROOKS.

In the death Of Phillips Brooks the
American pulpit has lost one of its
brigetest lights. But not the pulpit
aloIe, the whole nation and the great
cause of humanity has lost its warmest
and ablest champion, one who through
his entire ministry has been an unfail-
ing and SAFE guide and counsellor. He
was, by personal and intellectual en-
dowment, peculiarly Gtted to be lead
er; and as teacher and preacher, there
is scarcely man who has left deeper
impress upon the hearts and minds OF
the people. His work in the ministry
of the Episcopal Church is marked for
its breadth and liberality of thought.
He was IA man of large soul, and noble
mind, and while as preacher and a
bishop he leaves remarkable record,
greater still than the preacher or the
bishop is the record of the man Phil
lips Brooks, whose influence will live
SO long as the world stands.
He was elected bishop in 1891, suc-
ceeding the late Bishop Paddock. In
point of service ip the Episcopal Office
be was one of the youngest members
of the House of Bishops. He was born
in Boston in 1885, was graduated at
Harvard in 1856, studied theology at
the Alexandria Seminary and was or
dained rector in 1859. His first charge
was the Church of the Advent, Philadel
phia. In 1862 he took charge of the
Church of the Holy Trinity, in Phila-
delphia, and in 1869 became rector Of
Trinity Church, Boston. He declined
a professorship in Harvard and also
the Office of Assistant Bishop of Penn
sylyania, to which he was elected in
1886. His influence in Boston, partic-
uiarly over young men, Mas remarka-
BILE. His former church, Trinity, WAS
built for him at cost of over 81, ,0O0,-
600. The Bishop was not married.
During our civil war he was strong
abolitionist and an able supporter of
the Union. He was also strong ad-
yocate of temperance. His death in
Boston OH Monday was very sudden,
caused by diphtheria after brief ILL
ness. He was only So years old, and in
the prime and yigor of intellectual and
physical maDhood.

1T was very graceful act Of Presi.
denl-elect Cleveland to attend the
funeral OF his personal friend. ~ Presi-

mended when we considel .de
of his party to the dead e. -5ru.
Mr.. Cleveland has displayed more han
once the manly qualities of "a true
American, notably when he declined to
attend the dedicatory exercises of the
Columbian Exposition last year because
Mr.. Harrison, grief-stricken, was
watching at the bedside of a dying
wife, and could not leave Washington.
These acts upon the part of Mr.. Cleve-
land, show to the world that, however
bitter may be the animOsities of our
politics, the tr e American in the pre-
sence of death rises above them. Poll
tics count for naught, and men, though
they may differ radically in their views
of political economy, are bound by that
tie of humanity which stands the sever
est test Of political strife.

IMMIGRATION.


Public sentiment has never been 81
thoroughly aroused on the subject o
immigration as At the present time
and the imperative demand of the peo
ple is that some restrictive or prohibi
tory measures be adopted by Congress
that shall effectually protect US from
the hordes Of immoral, ,illiterate foreign
ers that are annually dumped down on
our shores, bringing with them train
of ills that are permeating snciety, The
evil effects of which are felt all ovel
the country. They scarcely land Oh
the soil before they are taking part in
our national affairs, with all the rights
and privileges of citizens, yet having
little knowledge of, and less love for
our institutions.
The Senate committee on immi gra-
grafton has investigated various plans
which have been recommended as feas-
ible. Among them is that to entirely
suspend free immigration for period
of ten years, only allowing immigrants
to enter our ports upon paying GER
tain sum of money; also to refuse ad-
mittance to all between the ages of
twelve and fifty-ive, who cannot read
and write their own language, and 10
require those who come, to present
certificate from foreign consul, as a
guarantee of their worthiness as citl-
zens. These restrictions would insure
our protection from the pauper, Hitter
ate and criminal claws that, TO large
extent, make up our immigrant popula
tion. Prompt and decisive legislation
ON this important question, is one OF
the most responsible duties of the pre-
sent Congress.
The question Of national quarantine
is closely allied to the immigration
problem, aud though the quarantine is
for the protection OF the State or Ma
tion against infectious disease, We are
chiefly exposed to the danger through
immigration; and as the cholera scourge
was SO narrowly averted last season,
it is not surprising that the people all
over the country are demanding special
legislation against this dread evil.
Though there are many entrances to
this country from abroad, New York
is the great front door through which
the nations OF earth come to US. Over
80 out Of every hundred of our ilnmi-
grants cometo us by way of New York,
and it is important that this entrance
be carefully guarded.
The physical life and health of the
nation demand it. New Yolk may be
able TO guard her own portals, but
when hers are also the nations portals,
it becomes necessary for us TO have Fed
eral legislation. And no one State
should be allowed to have charge OF
interests that belong to the whole ma
tion. So vital a question should not
be given into the hands of politicians.
The bes; intelligence of the nation
should be called into service, and, re-
gardless of political consequences, the
very best quarantine laws possible
should be enacted. The national quar-
antine bill passed the Senate last week,
and unless defeated by Tammany, it
will becnDe law.

The repeal of all Federal election laws.
The House will almost cert iniy pass
This bill, but it will be a useless show

probability that it will even get before

10 result in one of the bitterest and

The Philadelr rhia newspapers are
very anxious that the Delaware Legis-
lature should grant The necessary per
mission to Pennsylvania TO acquire Ii
tie to Bombay Hook for a quarantine
station, and that the concession should
be made in view of the fact that The
proposed quarantine would be of ser-
vice to the State of Delaware as well
as Pennsylvania. This IS very nice
for Pennsylvania. But the people of
Delaware who live near Bombay Hook
should have some rights which the
Delaware Legislature is in duty bound
to respect. Pennsylvanians do not
want IA pest hou.e on her shores, and
neither does Delaware propose to be
the dumping ground of Europe's
filth, and contagiOn. Look elsewhere

Democrats say that the acceptance
Of The Treasurey portfolio by Mr.. Car
Isle makes it certain that there will be
ali administration tariff bill presented
TO The House of the Fifty-third Con-
gress, and that it is to devote his time
to the preparation of that bill that Sen
ator Carlisle's resignation will lake ef-
feet on the 4th of February. If this
be true, it also indicates that All extra
session of Congress has been determine d
upon, because if Congress was not 10
meet until next December there would
be no necessity for hurrying up The
preparation of the bill. Republicans
do not, of course, believe in one man
legislation, but if one man is to pre-
pare tariff bill the most of them would
prefer Carlisle to any other Democrat.
He will make Democratic bill, and
that is what Republicans want to see,
believing that the inevitable result will
be the return of the control IF the

Ex-Speaker Reed, was right when he
recently said that when Congress did
not legislate it was simply because it
did not wish to do so, and it is daily
becoming more certain that Speaker
Crisp and his associated bosses do not
wish the House to legislate at this ses-
sion. They have almost decided 10
give the Democrats a chance to make
themselves solid with the next admin
istration by setting day to vote on
the bill providing for suspension of
The purchase of silver, which has been
favorably reported from the committee
ON Banking and Currency. Speaker
Crisp, who is the controlling spirit of
The committee on Rules, does not in
reality, favor this bill, but he has PROM
ised to give it chance, and .here is
now only one thing that stands in the
way of a cloture rule being reported,
setting time for voting on the bill,
and that is the fear that the Stewart
Free Coinage bill. which was passed by
lie Senate at the last session, may be
offered as substitute and adopted. If
Mr.. Crisp really thought that this bill
could ever get through the Senate lie
would probably not have promised TO
give iG chance to get through the
House.
