CAMPFIRE G. A. r.
"reminiscences of War Days Discussed by
our Local Veterans.

OhA LNNa' 'NhNAahos
The w. S. Hancock Post Grand
Army of the Republic, organized in
this town last summer, held their first
"Open Camp Fire" on Monday night
1t was a gratifying success to them in
every way. There were, including afew
guests invited to drop in and warm
up with them, about forty persons
present. Two long tables had been
provided to do service at the close of
the reunion; the national emblem was
in evidence and noticeable in the deco
rations were two small Cuban flags,
showing there was a fellow feeling of
sympathy for the suffering patriots in
Cuba.
Adiutant j. L. Estlin was master of
ceremonies, and called his speakers be-
fore Campfire" with a good deal of
tact and suggestiveness, thus using
his ''raw recruits" as applied to public
speaking with effectiveness for more
than an hour and half. The comrades
detailed more their personal expert
ences while in the army, sometimes
serious often very laughable, and all
having that quality of reminiscence
which is pleasurable in calling up
nleinOIloS Vi Oho OaJ VI Aulu hduB
Syne."
The first called on was VIM. VI.
Broadway, who narrated the Joy which
caused stiff old men at AppOmattOx to
turn "summersault" when the news
passed down the line that Lee had
surrendered. VIM. Keiser, who par
ticipated in 36 battles gave a section of
his experience in the Valley of the
Cumberland. Then followed similar
experiences with those who had gone
through q dozen or more of battles,
some of them of great importance as
follows: John Rheim, Lewellye I.
Davis, W, w. Whitlock, Geo. w.
Tilghman,C B. Archer, Geo. f. Jones,
John Garner, j. w. Start, Jacob Stein.
Chairman Estlin wishing to vary the
exercises, dropped from the position at
the Front to that at home, and called
in turn on r. d. Hofiecker, VIM H.
Baggs, VIM. FAIRIES and DIR. c. o.
Swinney for their memories of those
stirring times-fOr all the feeling and
bitterness of the war was not on the
battle field. The later speaker struck
responsive cord in urging the i'm.
portance of observing anniversary
events, reminding Hancock Post not
to let its Campfire" die out.
1t was noticeable that not one of the
speakers had o word of regret that he
had taken up his gun in defence of his
country, and all said that if necessary
they were ready to go again. A vote
of thanks was rendered the ladies who
had prepared and served the coffee and
and sandwiches, as also the three
young men of Clayton, Messrs. Ernes
Lord, Frank Lord and Mr.. Bird, who
furnished vocal and instrumental
music ON banjos and organ.
1t was eleven o'clock when thu
guests rdiourned,

The Constitutional Convention.

The Constitutional Convention de-
cided Wednesday to continue in session
until the afternoon of the next day be-
fore taking their vacation. The inn
pOrtant busines is to be transacted by
the committees.
The first delegation which has visited
the Convention was escorted to the
hall by General Donahoe. 1t was com
posed of Mary Garrett Hay, of San
Francisco, and Mrs. Martha S. Grams
ton, of Newport They presented a
communication from the Delaware
Equal Suffrage Association asking that
the new Constitution give women the
right to vote. The communication was
referred to the Committee on Elections.
The report of the Committee on
Rules was presented, providing that
the vote necessary to adopt an amend
ment to the Constitution should be a
two-third vote,
This was opposed by Mr.. Spruance,
who said that if this rule was adopted
the Convention might as we'll adjourn
and go home, for it could not adopt a
constitution if such a vote was neces-
sary. There are some matters in which
the members will differ, and very i'm
pOrtant amendment might be lost if a
twO-third vote was necessary.
Finally the rules were laid upon the
table, and will be taken up at some
| future time.

1.-The Currency"

We have talked about ii, shall we
learn something about it? A rare
opportunity to do so will be afforded
on Friday evening January Sth by
Professor Frederic w. Speirs PHI. D.
an accomplished Scholar, a Doctor Of
Philosophy of 'JOhn Hopkins" Uni
versity, and now Professor of Political
Economy and History in the Drexel
Institute of Philadelphia. These we'll
known institutions are sufficient guar
antee of the ability of the Speaker,
who will treat the subject, not politi-
cally. but scientifically, giving those
basal facts and principles of which a
knowledge is indispensable to those
who would form intelligent opinions
upon this far reaching subject Yet
the lecture will be popular in form, SO
as to be not only broadly instructive,
but attractive, and will be finely illus
strated by stereOpticOn views. Some
of the ladies of St. Peters church may
call' to offer you seats at p cents each
it will be wise to accept them, or You
can obtain tickets at any of the Drug
Stores. A chart can be seen at Dunn S
Pharmacy, and by calling there, seats
may, without extra charge, be reserved
upon any ticket purchased before the
final evening. The learned Professor,
in this instance, as special favor,
makes no charge for his valuable ser
vices. His generosity, attainments
and important subject, merit the gen
eral attention of our people.

But we have decidedly inclined to
the opinion, and we believe it sound
law. that the action in Duck Greek
hundred rendered the whole election
in Kent county nugatOry. If, as we
believe, no man was legally elected,
then it certainly follows that no man
had any personal rights which would
be violated DeldlCGreGn.
The editor of the DelaUarean claims
this as a reason why he took his seat
in the Constitutional Convention to
which he was not elected: because
East Duck Greek did not hold an cleo
ton there was no election, and unless
Kent County was accorded its quota
of representation, the Convention
would not be legal body. This course
of reasoning applies to the rest of the
ticket, at least this is the fate intended
for them. To say nothing about West
Dover Hundred that also was not
counted (for what reason the election
officers know best the fuss made about
Duck Greek Hundred seems strange to
those living in it. That the election
ought to have been held goes without
saying, and with a little yielding by
either party could have been held with
out friction, and despite clerks could
have been held by the Inspector
Leaders of the party declared that day
it made no material difference in &
party sense, as it was so close in the
district that victory might drop OIL
either side, otherwise the election
would have gone on. The surprise t.
the voters of the Eastern District il
that their not voting, counted out those
who did vote in the rest of the county
1t is altogether a new logic.

with. Men long forbearing are
aroused, and danger turks in the path
where men are asking their rights.
The peaceable method of the success
full party was to appeal to the Court,
but Judge Grubb with the keenness
manifested for ''technicalities" that
the lynx uses in catching its prey, and
the Court in general dallying with
time and opportunities to escape
punishment, furnishes hope and con-
fidence to those who are cOnspiring
against law,
The initial step of EUery Evening
was in the direction of the step we
have taken-the conservatism of law
and if it was still for conservatism in
stead of partizan advantage, it would
not charge us with fighting ''fOr the
cause of the Union Republicans with
the vigor of veteran campaigner.

CoNsTIrUTIoNAL Conventions ought
to be sufficiently rare to be a curiosity
there not having been one for nearly
half century and its work not ratified
by the people because there was taint
OF unfairness IN the election of its
members to attract more than Ordin-
ary attention, but such seems not to
be the case. At least some of the
members complain at the small num-
Der of people who drop in and look at
them in their deliberations, and when
they do, it is in the most listless way.
They ought not to wonder at this.
The Convention has only itself to
blame for vitiating its dignity and i'm
pOrtance, when it threw out men who
we're elected and made up its number
of men who were not. The COnstitu-
ton is or should be our fundamental
law, and when its authority is tainted
at the very beginning, how can it ex
pect to command the respect of those
who hold in high respect the genius o
Democratic institutions?

DRLAwARE's JUDICIARY.

The Delaware judiciary systemi is en-
crossing the attention of the cOnstitut-
iOnal convention delega&es, and various
reforms are being suggested. Most of
the conventions members are in favor
of doing away with the old method
entirely
The best means of bringing about a
change inthe judgeships is a qeustion
that is more perplexing to the dele
gates. A member from Wilmington,
when questioned on the matter, stated
that opinion favored the zone Judge
system in each county, with an extra
judge for Wilmington. These four
judges, with the chancellor, would
make five altogether.
The court of errors and appeals under
the proposed system would be COM
posed of three members-the chancel-
lor and two other judges-provided
that none of them had sat in the case
in the court below. For instance, if
the appeal were taken in Kent county
She resident judge would not sit, but
the chancellor, and the two judges
from the other counties would compose
the court of errors and appeals.
The judges, it is proposed, shall be
appointed by the Governor and con-
frmed by the Senate. Under the pres
ent Judiciary system the judges are APP
pointed for life. Those who sit in the
Oyer and Terminer Court also try
cases in the General Session and Super
ior Court and compose the court Of
errors and appeals. A man tried for
his life, if convicted in the court below,
provided he carries his case to the
higher court, would appeal to the very
same judges who had tried him in the
first place.
The delegates are also considering
the creation of board of pardons--
the Governor, secretary of State and
probably the chancellor to be ex-of-
fico members. There is no board Of
pardQns in Delaware now, The Cover
nor alone considers questions of ex-
ecutive clemency.
Another brief session Of the conven-
ton was held Thursday. President
Biggs announced the following COM
Smyrna times., 1896-12-16

mite on revenue and taxation: Messrs.
Pratt, Clark, Cooch, Moore, Hearne
and Orr. 1t was also decided to ap-
point committee on education.
The incorporation in the cOnventiOn's S
rules of a clause providing that two
thirds vote shall be required to pass
any legislation pertaining to the res
vision of the constitution caused a
breeze in the convention. 1t is looked
upon as a barrier in the way of con-
stitutional reform. The delegates are
discussing it and undivided.
