affecting the principle made by the

affecting the principle made by the
convention Of 1881, separate the exc
cutive from the legislative power with
absolute and almost startling distinct
ness. Unlike the Constitution Of most
Of the States of the Union, the un-
usually large power Of appointment to
Office vested in our Governor is not
shared in, to the least degree, by either
house Of the Legislature. His ap-
pointments are absolute, and do not
need legislative confirmation. The
power Of the Legislature to legislate is
free from any cooperation by the
Governor. He has power no either to
approve statues or to veto them. To
hold that this fundamental difference,
admitted to exist in the widest pos
sible degrees and by the most positive
enactment and affirmation in the case
where the Governor is elected by the
people, is, by mere construction, to be
set aside where the Governor, as Speaker
Of the House or Of the Senate, succeeds
to the Office by reason of the death of
the Governor elected by the people, is
contrary to the letter Of the Constitu-
tion. and does violence to its whole
spirit.
81 think it will be found upon author
ity and precedent, as well as upon prin-
ciple, that it is the general rule Of law
applicable to civil officers that he who
is called upon by the law to qualify for
and discharge the duties of the office is
the officer, and not merely the acting
officer.
''Neither have I any doubt that the
Senate will deal with this case in a
judicial, rather than in party or parti-
san spirit, and for that reason I have
confidence that Colonel DUPONT will be
seated. I therefore feel, now that he
has made the announcement Of his in
tention to present his claims to the
Senate, that it is open to me to extend
to the Republicans Of the State my
congratulations that the late session of
the Legislature, in this most important
regard, has not proved abortive. A
Senator has been elected and in time
will be seated. For our inability to
inagurate by legislation the reforms
which we have promised the people,
and which are so grievously needed,
the Republicans are not responsible,
inasmuch as we did not control the
Senate, and were therefore unable to
legisate.
1.-The party has made no mistake in
the election Of Colonel DUPONT. He
will discharge the duties Of this high
office with firmness, liability and distiDc-
tion, for all of which we have the
assurance of the rank he took at West
Point and in the regular army, Of his
distinguished services during the war
Of his high character, and of the pub
lie spirit which has always charac-
terized him as a citizen. The large
responsibility and duty which rested
upon me during the last six years will
now be devolved upon him, and this
will enable me, while abating none Of
my interest in, as well as activity for,
the Republican party, to resume with
out interruption the practice of my
profession.

In justification Of the conduct of
Governor Watson, now only "acting
governor" according to all reference
in the Democratic press, in presiding
at the joint session on the last day Of
the General Assembly, the EUery Euen-
ing said, Chancellor Walcott advised
him that it was his privilege, and of
course his duty as Democrat. Some
days later the Chancellor was inter-
viewed and was reported as saying
there had been no election Of a Senator
and the Governor should appoint. 1t
is not our purpose to criticise a men,
Der of the court who could thus give
an opinion of a matter that might
come before him judicially, but only
to point out the folly Of the ridiculous
demand Of the EUery Euening that the
courts should be called upon to decide
a matter with which they have nothing
to do and upon which the presiding
officer Of the highest court has already
formed and expressed an opinion.
Astute editor! Willy politician! Gun
ming Chairman Of the Democratic
State Central Committee! How wise
thou art!
It is said that Mr.. Addicks also
advises "mandamus that the matter
may be settled through the courts. :"
What a unanimity Of opinion have
these two worthy and patriotic (sic)
gentlemenl Strange but true that they
seek the same end by the same means,
but there are those that seek and find
not because their purposes are not
right.

MIDDLETOWN, DEL, JUNE Is, 1895.

STATE pride in Delaware is limited
to no party, to no section. It is general.
Every Delawarean is proud of its
credit and we all congratulate our
selves that $4,000 worth Of bonds,
sold to build an addition to the State
Insane Asylum, should bring $36 ,56S.
The higher the premium the less the
payment to be made by the people,
whose credit is good with capitalists
rather than with the Economical Ad-
ministration" which our Democratic
contemporaries claim. 1t would be
just as sensible and reasonable for the
Republicans to claim the credit Of the
States high standing in the financial
world because a Republican State
Treasurer negotiates the loan as for
the Democratic press to claim it as a
virtue to that party. Honor to whom
honor is due, and the honor in this
case belongs to the citizens Of the
State in whose honesty and justice
capitalits have an abiding faith.
But in this connection is it not
strange that during thirty years Of
power the Democratic party has done
50 little for the State? No public in
stitutions, no public buildings, no pub
lie improvements worthy Of mention,
except those that have come in the
past six years through Republican in
1uence. A Democratic Legislature
refused to purchase Farnhurst but a
Republican General Assembly estab-
fishes that institution, and passes high
license, giving to the public schools
free textbooks. The next Legislature
is Democratic and creates over hun
dred offices 70 be filled by Democratic
Governor and to be paid out Of the pub
lie treasury. Reforms cease until an
other Republican General Assembly is
ected, another "bad lot" and like the
former, in the opinion OF the Demo-
cratic editors, "the worst that ever
was," when the people come asking
expecting to receive. An appropria-
tion is passed by this Republican
Legislature to extend the State House
and give the Public Library the pro-
lection and care its value demands. 1t
gives the State Asylum an additional
building, and even pasees a bill for a
work-house which Chief Justice Lore
demonstrated would be a paying in
vestment. How wicked of the Repub-
licans to attempt to put the State in
line with other States in our public
buildings and institutions The Demo-
Gratis had been in power for thirty
years and had done nothing of the
kind What bad lot they are! But
isn't this a queer world ?

WILL YOUa WILL your MIR. FLY
On Saturday last the Morning NeaU!
contained the following statementi
from Col. Henry A. DUPONT, relative
to his presenting his claim for a seat
in the United States Senate.
81 was surprised to hear yesterday
that report was current in the lower
part of the state that I did not intend
to claim a seat in the United States
Senate. This report is without founda.
tion.
II absolutely approve of the protest
made in the joint convention of the
General Assembly against the partici.
patton of Governor Watson in the
proceedings Of that body, and propose,
at the proper time and in the proper
place, to have an adjudication made
not only of my claim, but of the right
of the people Of this state to be fully
represented in the Senate of the Uni
ted States"
This statement is timely and to the
point. 1t is not only what Republicans
expected but what Delawareans felt
confident would be Col. duPont's
course. The people Of Delaware have
right to two representatives in the
Senate Of the United States as Col.
DUPONT says, and the conspiracy to
prevent it should be fully Investigated
and passed upon by the proper tribunal
in that case-the United States Senate.
There it will 60 and there it will be
decided. We can afford to await the
result.
But the fact that the Senate Of the
United States is the Judge Of the quail
ification of its members under the
Constitution and that 1t will pass upon
Col. duPont's title to membership
therein, has set the Every Evening to
chanting its little tune,
"Will you? Will your Mr.. Flyr'
The song has become rather doleful
and interests only the EUery Eueming.
ITO the courts! To the courts!" is
the cry. "Let the courts pass upon
the title" It is said that certain
members Of the courts passed upon the
question in. advance {; that it took judi
cial opinion to back up partisan appeals
to give to Governor Watson ''the back
bone," contrary to his conscientious
convictions, which SO elated Editor
Handy that he, with beaming smile,
on the 9th Of May in the House Of
Representatives, was extending
to every Democrat his "congratu-
lations on the backbone of the
administration-its daisy" and at
the same time called bis friend Handy
and with extended hand said: "I con-
gratulate you, Bob, old boy; put it
there" Undoubtedly both Of these
worthless would like to see the matter
carried to the court where they have
hope that reasons might be found in
our antiquated and contradictory con-
stitution for upholding their views of
the matter and that the conspiracy to
prevent an election should prevail. It
will not 60 to the courts. There is no
reason why it should go to the courts.
The Senate of the United States will
settle the matter and let us all hope it
will be as Mr.. Higgins predicts, sin a
judicial rather than in a party or parti-
san spirit y

There was q good SIZED food OF short

and Carbonate hill washing a large

tent. Some of the dumps from the
Pelican mining properties were wash
ed down and obstruct or close the

partly washed down upon the weigh

j. E. Ayers was running for county
commissioner then on the democratic

ticket was carried down by the food of
public opinion aginst the demo-pop
combination. Ayers %Sarsaparilla is
all right when it gets proper action on
the circulation; but when the blood
has been contaminated by an unholy
improper and immoral connection as
was accomplished last fall in the cleo
lions, it takes several hundred doses to
get it in a healthful condition. A con-
spiraey was made against it last fall
and the cOnspiratOrs were the ones
who suffered as much as any one; but
but the schemes of the schemers have
gradually petered out, and they came
to the conclusion that it was better to
act In the manly straightfOrw ard way
customary in Hermosa by the time the
school board election arrived. So
Ayers, who has always worked for the
benefit of the school and the scholars,
was elected by the greatest number of
votes of any at this election, receiving
the entire vote polled. The school
board IS composed of Ayers. Baucus
and Wheeler. Ben Peers and Mike
Robinson received complimentary
votes. though they were not candidates
for election.
