The Political Muddle.

The papers have much to say just now
about the politicians and courts and for
the simple reason that thew are furnish
ing the most stirring news. A Whining
ton paper thus speaks of the affairs
that are going on in Kent County:
The Democrats are determined that
the order of the Superior Cont in +%o
hent county Mandamus case shall NOT
be carried out The refusal of pro-
thonOtary William Il. Hutson of Kent
county to issue the writ of peremptorv
Mandamus ordered by the court is
causing loud and bitter contention
amongst the Republicans of Kent
county.
The argument issued by ex-Chancel
i0r James l.. WOlcOtt in defending the
the board OF canvass in the Mandamus
proceedings was something interest
ing.
HIS arguments were on the plea of
the horse thief, who when arraigned
Tor steal ling the horse caught in his
possession, said that he was walking
along and spying a rope picked up one
end OF 1t and the horse followed him
lie made startling accusations but has
never proven one of them. If one-half
OF the debauchery was INDUCED in on
election day as charged by him then
the officers of the law of Kent county
have been derelict in their duty. Why
not arrest these men who bought u1
voters as charged by Mr.. Walcott?
Why do not Mr.. Walcott and his
colleagues furnish the necessary infor-
nation and have every man arrested
and indicted for bribery?
The New Castle county steal fell
through owing to two Democratic In
spectors becoming alarmed and failing
to do their dirty work If the count
out had been accomplished, James r
Ioman would to-day have been sheriff
OF New Castle county instead of VIM.
R. Finn.
The way the indictments were drawn
against the eleven Democratic Inspec-
tors speaks for itself. We have no
wish to make any comments. They
have gone free and are unpunished for
one OF the greatest crimes ever charged
against officers of election. There
will be no need in the future to hold
an election in Delaware. 1t will be
only necessary to get the consent of
the Democratic Inspectors. as to who
shall be elected and then sign the re-
turns to that effect. Everything goes
III Delaware politics.

writer of these notes, we Democrats
do not intend to let you Republicans

Leander R. Hooper, of Easton, re-
Gently wrote to Alexander Comstock,
who is managing the lecture tour of

what terms Mr.. Bryan could be en-
gagged to include Easton in his timer
ary. Mr.. Comstock replied "Unless
you have a hall or meeting place suffi-
cient to hold 1000 or 5000 people it
would not be advisable for the Hon.

1t is estimated that about 1000 men
will have to be added to the navy in
the next two years in order to furnish
crews for the new vessels that will be
ready for service in that time. These
must be provided by Congress, as the
limited number allowed by law has been
filed, and the manning of the Puritan
will exhaust the available forces. The
best plan to provide men for the navy
would be an elastic provision of law,
whereby men could be recruited as
needed, without requiring fresh leg

J. A. B. WILSON IN CALIFORNIA.-
The Rev. j. A. B. Wilson, formerly of
this State, is seeking nOtoriety in his
new station at Los Angeles, Cal. He
Is leading a crusade against Chief of
Police Glass and incidentally getting
his name considerably in the papers.
with the result that his past record is
being searched. The police have retail
lated by drawing forth all the skeletons
IN the Wilson closet and the people of
Los Angeles are enjoying the struggle.
1t appears that soon after his arrival
IN California he organized the minis
ters IN an association similar to that of
the Parkhurst Society of New York and
several weeks ago the Rev. Mr.. Wilson
was appointed, as chairman of com
mlttee, to interview Chief of Police
Glass. That official refused to hear the
committee and according to the pub
!lshed reports the chief used some very
forclble language against the chairman
OF the committee. This started the af-
fair. The police had quietly gathered
Mr.. Wilson's record and the next day
the papers devoted columns of space.
According to the Los Angeles Times
the facts gathered against the minister
is that for some time he has been try
ing to induce the newspapers of Los
Angeles to make a fight against the
chief of police, but he was not entirely
successful in this venture. The Times
claims that in the East Mr.. Wilson
conducted himself in such a manner
that the churches in which he officiated
as pastor were willing to part with his
services.
The Times, in giving an account of
Mr.. Wilson's interview with Chief of
Police Glass, says:
'Wilson called upon the chief and
made such threats and so misrepresen-
ted matters that the chief ordered him
out of the Office and defed him to start
his crusade. Wilson went out and,
either through inability to understand
the chiefs plain and rather vigorous
English, or because of a constitutional
tendency to twist or garble whatever
is said to him, he represented that the
big chief had 'cringed' and crawled
and begged for mercy.
eff calling a man "a malicious liar
and a 'mischievous, scandal-monger
old hypocrite' and shaking huge fist
under his nose, is 'cringing' perhaps
the chief cringed before the Rev. Jab. "

CALLING A HALT ON ELECTION
CRIMES. Election crimes must cease:
election criminals must hide their
heads and remove themselves from the
gaze of their fellow-men. A higher
moral tone must succeed, and the pres
ent debasement of manhood suffrage
must come to an end. A clever thief
must not be regarded as the best party
man and entitled to the greatest honor.
Party loyalty must not be gauged by
the amount of thievery performed. A
demand for decency is not defiance
of party domination and a condemna-
tlon of fraud is not treason to party or
ganlzatiOn. The ballot-box suffers
and election criminals have fattened
on the spOils of victory and tresspassed
on public patience until furthur pa
tience would be a compounding of
crime. A halt has been called

Emperor and Prince to Meet

A GATHERING OF ROYALTY
Who Knows Not How to Dissemble

Wales nust Hide His Dislike and Do the
Dlplomatic-Ogden Ooelet's New Yacht
Will Take Her Debut

Moe, Feb. 12.-Scores Of great yachts
and dozens of little yachts are now
making their way down the coast Of
France, heading for the grim rock of
Gibraltar and the blue waters of the
Mediterranean lying beyond.
The annual regattas of the Riviera
are close at hand, and in few days
and their numerous followers will be
making for the beautiful little cities
which go to make up the greatest win
ter resort on the continent. All the
European yacht owners, from the
prince Of Wales and the Emperor Will
lam of Germany down, will be on hand,
to say nothing of hundreds Of dukes,
princes and statesmen, with their wives
and in some cases their children.
The ostensible reason Of this WON
full concentration Of royalty is the
yacht races, but in reality they are
only an incident. They are looked at
and talked about, but it is not for
theee pleasures that the gathering is
made. The real reason is that it gives
royalty an opportunity to mingle with
one another with the unhindered free
dom Of ordinary people and to enjoy
an extensive society OF its own kind,
without the bothersome formalities
which always attend the visit OF one
king or prince to another Affairs of
state can be talked over, too, in plain,
businesslike way, and more can be &C.
complished toward the smoothing out
of difficulties than by six months of
diplomatic correspondence through
the usual channels.

of Wales and the Emperor William will

sent his famous congratulatory meg
sage to President Kruger of the Boer
republic during the recent Transvaal
troubles.
Great things, in the way of peace,
are expected to result from this meet

be, he is an accomplished diplomatist,
