PRESIDENT Mckinley has at last named
Mr.. Edward G. Bradford to fill the vacant
U. S. Judgeship. His name has been sent
in to the U. S. Senate and his confirlna-
tion will undoubtedly be made by the
Senate ON Thursday Or Friday Of this
week. For some time lately it has looked
as II Mr.. Bradford would be the lucky
man, as he had the backing OF Col. Henry
Dupont, who is warm personal friend
of the President. Mr.. Bradford is 40
years of age and Delawareau by birth,
having been born in the city OF Whining
ton, March 18th. 1913 His father, the late
Edward G. Bradford, was the Federal
Judge for the district OF Delaware and
was succeeded by Hon. Leonard f Wales.
whose place Mr.. Bradford will take. Mr..
Bradford received his preliminary educa.
ton at Hyatt's Military School, after
wards entering Yale in 1864, graduating
with the degree of Bachelor Of Arts in
1868. He studied law under his father
and was admitted to practice on May 9th,
1870 He has been one of Delaware's lead
ing attorneys and ranked as one of the
ablest men at the bar He is the senior
member of the law firm of Bradford,
yandegrift g. Byrne, and has always en-
joyed large and lucrative law practice.
He was looked upon as one of the leading
Republicans in the State aud has always
been prominently identified with the pub
lie and social life in the State, He was
elected member Of the House of Repre-
sentatiyes at Dover during the session of
1881 and was one of the Rep ublican dele
gates from Delaware to the National
Convention at Chicago in 1883. being
chosen as chairman He was elected
member of the Constitutional Conven'
ton which is now In session at Dover and
has been one of the foremost membetsin
framing the new constitution He is re-
lated to tho DUPONT family by marriage,
his wife being the daughter OF the late
Alexis l. DUPONT. His appointment will
give general satisfaction, although it will
not heal the breach made in the Repubi-
can party in our State. His legal training
and firm and commanding bearing will
add dignity to the position conferred on
him, for his confirmation by the Senate is
assured. The appointment is looked upon
as a victory by the Regular Republicans
with more to follow.

BlISTER AND WIND,

All the buster made as to what the
General Assembly Intended to do. to kill
the new Constitution is only waste Of
wind. When tho Convention adjourns
the new Constitution will be in force as
that body is superior to the General As.
sembly or any laws it may pass to govern
it. The new Constitution is not what the
Democratic politicians wanted as it will
put a stop to their partisan bills which
they have passed during this session. For

HARMONY WITH A BIG II.

From present indications tho Republic
cans of the State are as wide apart as
they can be over the control of the federal
patronage. Every new appointment seems
to only add fuel to the flames. New lead
ers are what is wanted in Delaware, only
this will ever lead to repression Of the
hostilties which are still going on in the
ranks. The Republicans are more hope
lessly divided than the Democrats of
which the swallow tail element is in
control In the House with the overall ele-
ment on top in the Senate. If tho Repub.
licans expect to carry the coming City
election they had better begin to get to-
gether, otherwise the organization will go
for naught.

FROM SINNER TO SAINT.

1t is the old story of the sinner turning
saint when he has taken advantage Of
every opportunity to benefit himself from
the frauds enacted by his party and accept
the fruits of the theft. This is the daily
spectacle of the editor of the fussy old
woman published at the corner of Fifth
and Shiploy streets. Having retired from
politics he breaches daily sermon on the
wickedness Of the very means Of which he
was the beneficiary in the office he held
while residing IN the Third ward. One of
the old ward. workers in days gone by can
tell OF some interesting things which took
place when tissue ballots were used to
swell the majority or to count out his OPP
ponent. Like Banquo's ghost, they will
n t down. A reformed alv smal makes

ford being young lawyer of 40 years of
age and well liked by everybody who
knows him, besides being a man of ability
and learning in the law. Ho has been one
OF the foremost lawyers at the bar in New
Castle County and has enjoyed very luc.
rative practice. His father was Judge Of
the u s. Court being succeeded by the
late Judge Wales. The appointment is
looked upon as victory for the Regular
Republicans which we hope will leave no
scars after 1t. He was appointed through
the instrumentality of Colonel Henry Du-
Pont, who we have been told is warm
personal friend of President Mckinley.
Mr. Bradford is member Of the Con-
stitutional Convention from New Castle
County, which fortunately Is nearly
through making new Constitution for
the citizens Of Delaware. If 1T is no better
it can't be any worse than the old Consti.
tuition, which we have lived under for the
past sixty odd years.

THE STATE WORK HOUSE BILL.

The State work house bill which is be-
ing advocated by Chief Justice Charles b.
Lore and Municipal Judge J. Frank Ball,
will have hard road to travel before it
succeeds in passing tho General Assem-
bly,. The down country members think
they know best of the needs of New Cas-
tie County. and by their decision the
county will have to abide for years to
come. There not being any money in the
bill it will be settled in short order and
buried in the grave yard Of the General
Assembly,

The new City Charter has not found any
great favor amongst the members of the
General Assembly. 1t was not recon-
mcndcd by the right parties who have the
pull" on the Legislature. Failing to re.
ccive their stamp Of approval, 1t is only
doomed to defeat at their hands. We
understand that the big -four does not
look with one particle of favor upon that
which settled its fate. The city paid
g, 800 for the bill all the same which is SO
much waste paper, But then the city
has money to burn. Messrs. Rossell Tay-
Tor, Pyle and Mullen gave the matter care.

Apparently some of the members of the
General Assembly seem to forget that no
member of that body can become bene.
ficiary under any law passed by that body.
They seem to forget that they cannot
hold office under any Of the acts passed
while they were member of the Legisla-
ture. They had better go slow in some of
their partisan measures which are now
pending before them.

EASY TO GET A DIVORCE.

The charge has been made that 1t is as
easy to get divorce from the Legislature
as it is to get married is gaining credence
every day. 1t is openly charged that a
former clerk of tho Legislature carries on
regular brokerage business in divorces.
That he will meet person as soon as he
alights from train in Dover and tell
him that his divorce does not stand
ghost of show Of passing, but for con-
sideration, naming the amount, he thinks
he could have influence enough to get the
desired separation. But he (the clerk
must have so much money paid down in
advance, the balance to be paid after the
divorce has been granted. Tha victims
who thinks his own or his wifo's pccu-
llarlties can't dwell in the same house n
peace, gives up TO have the gordon knot
cut assundcr. Like the Chief High Ex-
ecutioner he has to be inSulted and the

seeking divorce.

neetlns OF Democrats.

Oyer 800 so called Democrats sat down,
at the dinner Of the Reform Clubin New
York last Saturday evening. Addresses
were made by different gentlemen. but
ex President Cleveland was the star Of the
occasion and was listened TO with pro-
found attention, We must give him cred
1t for his opposition to the vagaries Of the
friends Of free coinage and socialism and
mobocraoy. He is, however, u bitter free
trader and notwithstanding the failure
Of his administration, decries the provis-
ions OF the Dingley tariff aud seeks to ar.
ray the people against 1t. In this effort be
will certainly fail, although he may sue
coed in influencing the Democrats to nomi
nate him again for the Presidency, In tho
hope that he eau unite all the discordant
elements Of his party, and lead them to
victory at tho polls, He may deny he is
ambitious Of another term. but we all re.
member that it was at somewhat similar
meeting in 1899 that he made an address
which led to his candidacy and election.
The Democratic party, however, Is hope.
lessly divided and he will find that he can
notreunite it by his platltudes or his pre-
tended love Of country. The day Of his
power Is over, and the only real service he
can do the country will be through the
exposure of the doctrines of Bryan, Alt.
geld, Tillman and other kindred spirits.
