miserable and precarious livelihood.
This law classifies stage folk with do
mestic servants, with the 'Gesinde,"
and even vouchsafes to their boss, the
owner of the theater or CHEZ of the
troop, the right of manual correc-
tion," 1. e. of slapping the members in
the face and administering other mild
forms of personal chastisement. Well,
about last New Year the president Of
the police in Berlin, Baron Won RIGHT
hofen, finding that a provincial court
in 4 suit against theatrical manager
had resuscitated this old law and ap-
piled to it the case in hand, issued a
ulzase calling public attention to the
fact that actors and actresses, from the
priIna donna to the weakened old in
triGuante, were 'Gesinde" and, as such,
anenable to the rules and regulations
in such case made and provided.
The press ridiculed the order; the
''profesh" first laughed at it, then
waxed wrathy and held indignation
meetings; the public wondered, smiled
and said nothing. The order was not
rescinded. 1t remains nominally in
force to-day, although in ''innocuous
Gesuetude," suspect.
Recently the whole theatrical profess
sion in Berlin gave ball at the Kaiser
hof, the most aristocratic hotel in town,
which they styled ''Gesinde ball." and
at which everybody present appeared
in the costume of a member of the
servant class. 1t had been arranged by
half dozen of the daintiest and most
popular actresses, including Reisen-
hofer, Jenny Gross'and Else Lehman,
and it was a stunning success Satir-
ically, humorously and by the law of
contrast the hundreds Of jolly Thespi-
an disciples demonstrated that it is
folly to class them in the year 1895 with
the kitchen maid or the valet. The
critics of Berlin were present, Of course,
and score of the most popular writers,
such as Stinde and Blumenthal and
Ludermann, and few airy literary
tribes, written for the occasion, were
performed. But the chief joke of the
evening was, of course, the costuming.
The very flower of the profession, both
mile and female, disported themselves
cad as nurses and cooks, chambermaids
and body servants, coachmen and foot
men and ushers, porters and buffers,
and imagination had lent them wings
for devising new classes of domestic

brought out the Every Epensng finally
and the Dover Indez both of which
recognize the "nigger in the wood pyle''
and they would like to get him out.
These special constables were appoint
ed merely to carry the election, a
bribery of votes to be paid for. out of
the public funds. Two years ago the
Legislature, an wholly Democratic
body, paid the bill out of the State
funds, stealthily borrowed from the
school funds, although Mr.. John FL.
Rodney now says "the law is very
plain that the Levy Court shall pay
the BILL" Why was the law disobeyed
two years ago and why were all the
Democratic papers in this county then
in favor Of such a measure? Tae law,
not having been changed, cannot be
one thing for two years ago and another
thing for this year. The tax payers of
this county should hold the Levy
Court to a strict accountability in
handling this matter. The opinion of
an attorney whose interest are always
with the "boys," should not be allowed
to decide it. Who were the fifty citi-
zens who asked for these special con-
stables? What was their service and
who hold the vouchers for the services
rendered? These are important ques-
tions. Are not others pushing these
claims as political discounters? The
prodding Of the TRANSCRIPT has al
ready forced the Dover IndeG and the

they say ''be carful how you act"

THE HYpOCRITE APPLAI1Ds.

THE HYPOCRITE APPLAUDS.
As might have been expected, the
State Chairman editor Of .EUerg Euen-
ing leaves off scratching long enough
to brush up himself, put on sancti-
monious air, and say to Rev. Mr..
Turner, "well done good and faithful
servant" The sermon it is true is rot
sensational and is manly plea for a
more lofty citizenship, but until this
consummate hypocrite repents and ac-
knowledges that he is one Of the de-
bauchers of the citizens of Delaware,
that he was able to play his cards SO neat
ly last fall that he advocated a purity Of
elections law-which blythe way, failed,
like lots of other things, in the Senate
and he would have been able to have
answered the law "we-our COM
mittee-spent no funds and have no
report to make" This is now his
boast in his paper though the owner of
the paper gave ten thousand dollars to
the corruption fund Of his party. We
are not charging that Mr.. Bancroft
sinned in this above other men, but he
is allowing his man "Friday" to make
him laughing stock among all the
intelligent citizens Of this State, not
even a few Of the unsuspecting church
people rely on the accuracy Of EUery
Euening's editorials any more. since
the half truth is worse than no truth,
or rather half falsehood is worse than
a lie. The EUery Evening will not
deny that it's party uses money to
bribe voters. 1t is too big coward to
make an assertion that hundreds of the
leading Democrats would brand as
false, but it puts on a sanctimonious
air and gets around behind every good
man who condemns the practice and
with pious look that only Satan can
suggest, cries out, ''Well done good
and faithful servant; hit those Repub-
licans again."
The Rev. Mr.. Turner need pay no
attention to Handy. No body does.
Ifhe wishes to investigate further along
that line and desires to know how big
a sinner, a fraud, and a hypocrite
Handy is, he can be furnished some
very interesting information. The
TRANSCRIPT says drive it at them.
Let the Sentinel squeal and the fraudu-
lent Handy stand in awe. Cry aloud
and spare not, for in the sermon you
have preached you have done Gods
work.
