THE Washington committee which
had charge Of the arrangements for the
National Encampment Of the G.. A. R.
has furnished a ward In the Confederate
Soldiers Home at Richmond as a token
of appreciation of courtesies extended
by Lee Post Of Confederate Veterans to
veterans Of the G. A. R. who visited
Richmond and battle-feldsint that vicinity.
That is a concession, after thirty years,
which no bogus soldier who is drawing
apension he is not entitled to. can stand.
Protests loud and long should 60 out
against doing anything to alleviate the
sufferings of enemies OF our country.
II Foraker is not dead he should rise
and howl. We should hear also from
some Of the strong protectionism news
papers, for the people Of the South should
be punished for wishing TO destroy the
Industries of the country"

THE KICKER.

The kickers of Delaware, like the
poor Of Judea "are always with u.s. f"
The kicker is an interesting, IL not a
pleasant psychological study He is not
poor; but he puts up a poor mouth.
His mouth is wonderfully active and in
dustrions II the Delaware kicker does
not earn living by the sweat of his
face it is simply because the tremend-
Gus energy of his facial aperture does
not employ muscles which produce exu-
dation. He works them Just the same.
The kicker does not object to
everything because he is not getting the
benefit Of all that goes, but because he Is
apprehensive that something he knows
not Of may escape. AS a matter Of fact
he enjoys all the fat offices and has en-
joyed them all Of his tenderly cared for
life, without doing any other service
than that of working his own organ Of
speech for his own benefit Referring to
the industry Of the kicker, Hamlet says.
Nay. an thoult mouth,
lll rant as well as thou.
But that was temporary relief only;
the kicker may be suppressed for short
period, but he rises and blooms again all
the more luxuriently 1--WE might have
said, ranlly) for the enforced rest.
We have the kicker with us now. He
is out in force, indeed more
persistent, more exacting and more
exasperating than ever. He wants
every thing he hasn't got, though he has
everything that he has been able to carry
off. He would like to sequestrate the
earth, and execute mortgage on illimit-
able space, including the unknowable
hereafter. He is not frightened at any
thing he would be willing to whack
slice from chaos, simply to be able to say
that he had some Of it,
With all Of these possessions and hopes
the kicker is not satisfied he is pessi.
mist from principle and culture He is
unwilling to appear to be satisfied with
what he has for fear that he may not
get something he has not got. He is un.
willing to have anyone think he is salts.
fed for fear some one may think that
he does not deserves great deal more.
He feels that he deserves all he has got,
and kicks because he has not got more.
Not seeing anything he can get or use
himself, he thinks his friends should
have something more than they have got
in order to give him credit for getting
it.
There are kickers in every walk Of life,
but the pessimistic political kicker is the
most interesting and absorbing as per
ennial study.

New Castle county need not have at
tackled Judge Ball It is conceded that
Judge Ball presides over the Municipal
Court with rare judgment and efficiency
Under him the court has been elevated
into the respect and confidence of the
people. Judge Ball has developed into
the most able aud useful Judge who ever
occupied the Municipal Bench. That
entities him to the admiration Of the
people and it does not disqualify him for
practice In other courts He may take

indeed, as to endeavor to have his salary
increased, or even to aspire to higher
and more important position and a
larger salary, without fracturing any OF
the precepts Of modesty and dihdence
which usually govern the actions Of
attorneys. The bill to establish a new
court may be unwise or even unnecessary,
but those facts need not alter our
opinions Of Judge Ball-need not compel
us to do him an injustice or refrain from
giving him due credit for efficiency and

ONE idea that is, or should be, potent
in the selection Of any judge, as chief or
as associate justice, is the protection of
the poor litigants. They are compelled to
accept the services of the young and
inexperienced attorneys; they have not
the means to employ the ablest and
shrewdest lawyers; hence, II the judges
are not keen. witted, experienced and
determined, the case Of the poor man is
at a disadvantage though his cause may
be just. The rich man, because of his
superior ability TO pay. employs law
yers who can make the poorer seem the
better cause. In all respects It is i'm
portant that men Of learning, integrity,
and high character should be on the
bench, but in this respect it becomes an
obligation that the governor owes to the
people, great majority Of whom are in
moderate circumstances, to provide them
with a man who can hold the balances
true between the rich aud the poor, no
matter what the disparity between the

days of hard work One of the first things
he did after having got some money

the voice and the art of expression. He
retained the most expensive masters Of
elocution In Philadelphia for this pur-
pose, and became an admirable de-
