THOUGH one or more ballots have
been made every day since last Tues
day, the majority party seems no
nearer a decision than a week ago
This is unhealthy for the party and
making the State subject of rldicule,
the jibes at Delaware by the big and
little papers throughout the country
being many and often very cutting
The Onus of selecting a senator rests
on the Republican party and to it at
taches the fault whatever it may be,
in a prompt selection. The claim for
the selection to be in the order of the
eternal fitness of things" seems not to
rest with those who have the making,
but other and various terms are used
that are corrupted in their phraseology
with venality. 1t is not only made
from candidate to candidate but rever.
berates from party to party until the
whole political atmosphere is blue with
sulphgrOus smoke
II belongs to the political habiliment
of the State in its outer as we'll as Its
inner garment, and it would seem en-
blazoned on its escutcheOn when seen
by ambitious capitalists from afar as
an article of barter.
Where is the responsibility for this
state of things? from what source
does it spring? The Democrats charge
bribery and corruption on the Repub-
licans as do the senatorial candidates
in gentle filings at each other, and
the Republicans retOrt on their oppo
nents that they, as the party in power,
cannot bring reproaches when they
resort to bribery and corruption of the
ballot to the fullest extent, as one of
their party wrote afterwards, used
all the money they could get and wept
for more," in addition to which be-
tween the inspectors, assessors and
levy court, more man were disfran.
chised than could be bought by a mil
IiOnaire-that their caucus nominee
for Senator not only in the general
election but in primaries in the party,
put high estimate on the power of
money, and further, when it seemed
necessary for success, to wipe from the
registration list 100, 200 or 300 names.
the moral incentive was given to young
barristers to prosecute their work
which they, it is believed would not
have dared do but from different
sources of accessories before the fact of |
judicial guidance-an act which in its
assault upon the rights of franchise
and the independence of citizenship |
was not equalled in anything uncov
cred by the Lexow Committee in New
York.
The condition to which we have de.
scended is not one pleasant to dwell
upon, and we seem politically in a stu
por very accurately portrayed by Pope !
in his Essay on Man.:

Yet seen too Oft familiar with her face
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.

TROUBLE has at last come to the Re.
public of Hawaii by an insurrection of
the royalists, the latter being encour-
aged by the fact that our government
has kept no warship there, though en-
treated to do so, as has formerly been
the custom.
The steamer Alameda arrived from
Honolulu at San Francisco on FRIDAY
and brought news or revolution and
bloOdshed at Honolulu. Charles L
Carter, who was one of the annexation
commissioners, was killed and other
government supporters were wounded
There has been much fighting and at
least twelve natives having been killed.
Nearly two hundred royalists are under
arrest. Robert Wilcox is the leader of
the rebels. Inc fighting was still in
progress wheE the Alameda left Homo
lulu on January 1lth, but the govern
ment forces had practically overcome
the revOlutiOnists.

CAREY.

Mrs. Elma Carey, wife OF Nathaniel b.
Carey, and youngest daughter of
Carey Frazier, died at their residence
near Green Spring, on Friday, aged
~ years, / months They were mar
rled less than two years ago, the death
on Thursday from rouvulslons being a
day or TWO after the birth Of their first
child. Though young and vivacious
she seemingly had preaenliment OF
fatal onsequences, as she had marked
hymns she desired sung at her funeral.
The fact of large family connections
and associations and he almost tragic
incidents IN connection with the un-
timely death, called together an unus-
ually large funeral on Sunday, there
being over 100 carriages at the house.
The interment was in the Odd Fellows
cemetery, this town, Rev w. r.
Mowbray, officiating.

THE singular feature of a mad dog

a PAPER published in one of our
Delaware towns of some 5000 or 1000
inhabitants, declared a year or so ago
that there were then daily walking its
streets eight men who were in some of
the forms guilty of murder, but who

had all the time upheld the best inter

tative Mustard should be warmly
backed up by the moral element in
his efforts to have it repealed. The
bill has now passed the second reading
in the House. In the same family of

after was the effort made we think
two years ago, to disassociate billiard
tables from bar rooms, because first
led to them for amusement and a place
to spend their time, the temptation is
to play for drinks because they are
frequenters, and thus acquire an evil
habit when not intending it. The
temperance advocates while looking
for larger measures may lose much by
neglecting these minor details.

The decision reached that it is the
meaning of the Constitution that when
a choice for u. :. Senator il not made
the third Tuesday in January that the
ballot must be taken every day there
after Except Sundays VIII be more
etfectual than any argument for an
early choice, for none of the members
want to spend the noon hour of every
dag in the week there, including Sat
urday.
The decision of Secretary of State
Smithers-that it is necessary for a
man to receive sixteen votes in order
to be elected Senator-has made it
necessary for every Republican
member to be in his place every day
when joint ballot is taken.
There were some long faces Friday
when it was determined they would
have to stay over till noon the next dav

in-law, Richard M. Cooper, (where he
las made his home since the death OF
his wife some years ago. suddenly on
Sunday evening of heart failure, aged
SO years, 10 months, % days.
His death was sudden aud without
suffering. He was about through the
day as usual, and in the early evening
went TO the sweet potato house, which is
Kept at an even temperature by stoves,
place to which he frequently resort
ed, and staying little longer than
usual, one ofthe family went after him
and found him dead.
Coroner Walls held an inquest Mon
day with verdict in accordance with
the above facts.
In growing up he learned the wheel
wright trade and followed it for a time
in Leipsic, marrying in the meantime
Eliza Ann Ennis, daughter of Abram
Moore, of that vicinity.
About fifty years ago he bought and
moved to the farm adjoining Bethel
Church which was the continuous home
of the family until his wife died. and
where his six children were raised
He was man Of strong religious pur-
poses, quick, apprehending mind, a
clear Judgment in business and on pub
lie questions, and often quaint and
humorous in his social intercourse. He
lived very abstemious life but ALWAYS

of the State has spoken ont in strong
cOmmendation of it and yet. so many
measures are pressed upon the Legis.

most praisewOrthy and much needed
acts are left among the unfinished bus
mess. do hope that this will not be
among them at this session. Yet it
will be certain. if action is not the re-
sultant of all this thought and feeling;
and the earlier the better to get the
