All work and he play mikes Jack dull

CIVIL service is all very well, but it is
not popular with the Democrats. Look
at the breeze that has been kicked UP by
the appointing of two men to Federal pc.
sitions in the new post Office Some of
the men who were applicants have good
cause for making a protest to the manner
in which they were given the go by. We
have enough idle men fully as competent
as the two who have been appointed, who
would have been glad of even a chance to
pass an examination. Such fayoritism
should be stopped and at once. Appoint
Wilmingtonians to all offices in the gift
OF the Federal authorities.
In the House yesterday, n very spirited
debate took place on the civil service laws
The debate was participated in by n dozen
members nearly all of whom criticised
and condemned the law. Mr.. Grosvenor
of Ohio, denounced it as IN infamous cou-
splracy upon the government anu express.

this country which would sweep bureau
ocracy from power, while Mr.. Bailey of
Texas denounced the system us ii humbug.

OF Mr.. Grosvenor and Bailey to the echo,

THE sentiment of Republicans in our
city is that Anthony Higgins, Esq, would
make a strong candidate for the vacant
U, S. Judgeship. Heis in every way we'll
qualified for the position and has earned
the Judgeship If any Republican lawyer
can be said to have any claim upon 1t. 1t
begins to look rs II the Senate would not
confirm theappointment of ex Chancellor
James L. Wolcott for Judge. The recon-.
mendation apparently meets with favor
amongst the Democrats, but not amongst
the Republicans. The part the ex.Chan-
cellor took in the Kent county Mandamus
case has placed him in bad repute. He
has been q leader of his party in Kent
county and has been the man who linked
at the tricks of the Democrat election
officers.

Them From Two Young Men.
VINELAND, n. j., Feb. 9.-Joseph Rob-
inson was arrested tonight, on the charge
of stealing chickens from Chauncey Par
melee. Parmelee claimed to have fol-
lowed tracks from his hen roost to Rob-
lnson's home, where he found his twelve
stolen fowls among the flock in the
accused mans yard.
At his hearing before Justice Lord this
afternoon, Robinson testified that two
young men supplied him with poultry to
sell. One of the men whom Robinson
accused proved an alibi, but the other
could not be found by the police. 1t was
developed at the hearing that Robinson
had been carrying on an extensive poul-
try shipping business.
Immediately after the conclusion of
Parmelee's case, Robinson was again ar
rested, on similar charge, brought by
Chas. Burfet, who recognized his stolen
chickens in the prisoners hennery.
Robinson was held ON both charges un-
der S4OO bail
