The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1897-01-07

Thee of the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party backed up by the Courts in
their efforts TO perpetuate Democracy In
Delaware is something to be greatly deplor-
oil. Every citizen likes to think he is liy-
ing in community where one man is as
good as another, especially when he be-
HAYES himself, where his vote shall have
the protection Of the courts if need be,
and then counted and deposited in the bal,
lot box. We are sorry to say such has not
been the fact for some time in our State.
Men, often criminals, who have been
whipped at New Castle for committing
theft, have been the mon selected by the
Board Of Elections in our city to hold the
elections in the districts in which they re-
sided. Men who had no more regard for
their oaths than they have for drink of
whisky. Men whom the threat Of send
ing them to jail II they did not take notice
OF men who were in every way qualified
TO cast their ballots Men, who by threats
aud the help Of the r0ughs and toughs on
the outside of the polling places terror
izOd and drove Republican voters away
when they had been properly qualified to
cast their ballot Then, to cap the climax,
these same men attempted to count out a
Republican sheriff and putt in Democrat
ic one, when the Republican sheriff had
over eleven hundred majority. And then
some men have the face to stand up and
tell you that they hold honest aud fair
elections in Delaware.

The excessive fees demanded by some
attorneys have caused considerable dis
sention among our citizens. Few under,
aid why an attorney should charge a
fee equal in amount to the salary received
BIZ clergyman for q whole year 1t can
not be that the attorney possesses SO much
more talent than the preacher that his pay
should be SO greatly out of proportion.
4 For appearance and learning the
clergyman is certainly equal to the
lawyer and his claim Tor services rendered
should be equally great. The only differ
enoe is that the lawyers fix their own fees
while tho clergymen have to take what
the people are willing to pay. Scores of
preachers would make good lawyers, while
scores OF lawyers would make very indif-
feecnt preachers. The latter are generally
sure OF living and it may be that they
find compensation in the good they are
doing in the community. The lawyers
should check their disposition to charge
excessive fees when they consider tho la
bors of the preacher, the physician and
teacher for comparatively low salaries,
wi hout saying anything of farmers and la
bore g. Even the judges on the bench are
poorly paid in comparison with the lawyer
who has opportunity to charge big fees.
The Street and Sewer Commission under
stand something of the system practiced
and the City Council may know more
about. it before the present year passes
away.

From all accounts it does not appear
shat the House is going to be in any hurry
t,inyestigate the claim Of Mr. Cheairs in
charging that Mr. John 7. Dickcy occu-
pics the seat he, ChGairs, should fill in the
Legislature. But. as we said some time
ago, Mr. John r. Dickey would have such
q null with the members Of the House
that the charges cuntcstiug his seat would
not be pushed with any degree Of speed.
In fact, we would not be surprised 70 sec
the Legislative session half over before
any further contest was made The Every
Evening comes out in an editorial strong

why Mr. DIckey and other members
fir m this county associated with him
should oppose investigation is almost b..
you'd comprehension. The mere fact that
Mr.. Diekey and his friends oppose iuvcs,
tigation is prma facte evidence that some
one Is occupying n seat to which he i, NOT
entitled. II he is the duly elected mem.
Der he should court investigation, II the
members of the House permit this matter
