RE CONSISTENT, GENTLEMEN.


Some weeks ago the Every Euenin 9
editorially endorsed the candidacy of
Prof. W. B. Tharp, principal Of the
Middletown Public Schools, as the
man best qualified for superintendent
of the New Castle county schools.
Our neighbor, the Ne,0 Era, also de-
voted considerable space, local and
editorial, in urging upon Governor
Marvil the qualification fitness and
advisability Of appointing Mr..
Tharp as County Superintendent.
Mr.. Tharp has not changed in any re-
spect during the past month, and the
silence of our esteemed contemporaries
upon this matter, since it is Governor
Watson and not Governor Marvil, who
must make the appointment, is really
painful. 1t makes the former recon-
mendations have the appearance Of in
sincerity and even the very appearance
should be avoided. Speak out, gentle
men, speak with no uncertain sound.
It is well understood that Mr.. Tharp
had the recommendation of most of
the prominent Democrats of this hun
dred when his application was to Gov
ernor Marvil, and not only of this
hundred but many throughout the
county. And he has the recommends
tion of prominent educators through
outIthe county as we'll, but there is a
rumOr that he is to be turned down.
The excuse is that Of kinship to the
governor, but that excuse is too fimsy
to be considered even for moment by
men who have excused, apologized for
and endorsed the nepotism, real and
genuine nepotism, as this is not, prac-
tised in the Democratic party of late
years. Be consistent, gentlemen, and
stand by your recommendation of Prof.
Tharp, and let New Castle county have
an educator, scholar, an enthusiastic
school man as County Superintendent.
The recommendation of the TRAN
SCRIPT is sincere and for the good of
the schools. Let's be consistent, gen.
tlemen, and insist upon Mr.. Tharp's
appointment.

as the Congressional Candidate, con-
tributed ten thousand to the fund the
present editor, a defeated candidate,
contributed seven dollars and seventy
five cents, small sum but he said it
was all that he had, and others con-
tributed more or less, until the aggre-
gate was equal to the amount the Re-
publicans had, and the result was
Democratic defeat. In view of these
facts the hypocri:ical howl Of Euery
EUening for reform, the dictatorial in
suits of the IndeT for lease of power,
and even the sincere but erroneous ap-
peals of the SUSSEX Journal, become RI
diculous.
Do those papers want reform and
honest elections, then repeal the unholy
assessment laws of 1873 as they now
apply to Kent and Sussex counties.
Remove the source of the evil and the
disease will disappear.
But, what means the "Purity of
Elections Bill?" 1t is partisan legisla.
tion for partisan ends. Every man
who knows any thing in this State
knows that our Judges were appointed
from among theIpoliticians as reward
foripolitical services; the juries in Kent
and Sussex counties, and possibly in
this county, are drawn from the
Democrats of the county and are con.
sequently more or less partisan; the
officers of the court, where offenders
are to be tried, are all Democrats. What
would the passage of the law meant
Certain conviction of Republicans, and
presumably like the trials in the Dis
trict Court some two years ago in Will
mington, disagreement in the case Of
Democratic offenders. Is this truei
1t is. It is but the natural result of a
one-sided judicial system. Men get in
the habit of looking at matters from a
certain stand point until they are not
conscious of the bias of their minds.
If the highest proof is required, look
at the decisions in the Supreme. Court
of the United States given by men
whose elevation puts them above Sec
tional and partisan views, and yet their
opinions follow the inclinations of their
youth and training.
Are we understood While the dis
franchising act of 1878 stands upon
the statute books, to the disgrace of the
State and undefended by any one, we
would never vote for this bill as an ad-
ditional club in the hands Of the min
ority Ibut ruling party to defeat the
will of the people at the polls. We as
earnestly desire "purity of elections"
as any one and will do as much to bring
it about but we do not want the L..

either the ''how, or when, or where or
by whom" be told. How desperate are

the United States Senate more free

THE WHISKEY TRUST.

In spite of the remarkable efforts of
Judge Showalter of the United States
district court of Chicago and his agent,
Receiver McNulta, to hold the infamous
and gigantic whiskey trust together, the
combine has collapsed. That it was or
ganized and conducted in violation of
the antitrust law is known to all men,
After it had been robbed into bank
ruptcy by it's officers the court named a
receiver and, instead of carrying out the
law and winding up the concern, the
court and the receiver in the teeth of
law have been busily engaged in attempt
ing to build a new trust on the ruins of
the old. That they did not succeed is
not their fault, but is due to the fact
that some of the extensive partners real
lied that they were not getting a square
deal and that the new regime would be
no improvement on the old one. AS re-
suit the reorganization scheme has been
abandoned and Saturday last the
court was compelled to make an
order directing the receiver to close
up the business, dispose of the
numerous plants and distribute the pro-
ceeds among those entitled thereto. So
far as this particular industry is con-
cerned it makes but little difference to
the average man whether it was con-
trolled by a trust or not, but its long,
open and wilful violation of the statute
has been a matter of public scandal and
the acquiescence of Judge Showalter in
the efforts to continue it have led many
to inquire whether the law was not a
farce. The law may be all right, but it
is certain that so far tho officials are
concerned it is dead letter AS the
whiskey trust has existed so have the
sugar and all the other trusts, each
making immense profits at the expense
of the public, and there has been no in
terruption or attempted interruption
of their proceedings. Why, no one
seems to know, but q my are suspicious
that money, as well as political intiu
ence has been a factor in permitting the
Law to be offended.
