BAYARD LEGION BALL.

Members and friends Of the Bayard
Legion thronged the ball room of the
Turn Hall last night, the occasion be-
ing the clubs annual reception and
ball. The affair was a triumph for the
committee having it in charge, and the
program as arranged was carried out
to the letter. One of the noteworthy
features of the ball was the decora-
tions. The sides of the room and back
of the stage were banked with fine
palms, azaleas, acacias and other
plants. The interior was one mass of
flags and bunting. A large picture of
Ambassador Thomas +. Bayard hung
over the stage.
1t was a difficult task to single out
the most attractive gowns worn, as
there were so many rich creations Of
the fashionable modiste. An orchestra,
hidden from view by potted plants. dis
coursed sweet music. The bright
lights and the beaming faces of pretty
girls combined to make the ball the
most successful ever given by the club
Among those present were: Colonel

rHE INnIANA oFFIcEs.

CONSERVATION prevails among the |
office-seekers of Indiana, for the newly /
elected governor of that state has an
nounced that he will not at once pro-
ceed to the distribution of the spoils
which are being enjoyed by Democrats.
Indiana has heretofore been Demo
cratic state, and its change to Repub-
lican one has raised enthusiastic ex-
pectalions among the cohorts of that
party, now the first time in power for
several years. OF course these people
think the redistribution Of the offices
to be the one most important thing to
demand the governors attention.
It is to the honor of the present gov
ernor that he does not agree with those
of hrs supporters, already named, and
thinks that the executive of the state
has other matters of more importance
10 attend to than the distribution of
offices He says plainly that the Legis-
lature will soon be in session engaged
in matters of great interest to the
state. and it will be necessary for him,
a new man at the helm. to follow care
fully all that may be done in that di-
rection. He does not feel, therefore,
that while employed in that way he
will be able to give attention to such
changes in the offices as his party
friends expect, and which, after due
consideration, he may. at the proper
time, conclude should be done.
This is cool comfort for the men who
want the offices, and though the posi-
ton taken by the governor shows
his good sense, and will be commended
by non-partisans. it will certainly not
meet with the approval of many OF
those who voted the Republican ticket
in Indiana last Fan. The fact is, that
this Office business has altogether toe
much tc do with politics, and if lndi-
ana can divorce them she will earn
more fame by far than she has by an.
other kind of divorce.
The governor of Indiana has taken {
bold stand, and we trust he will be sus
tained in ii. Non-partissns are wei
aware that it is this desire to Obtain
office, common TO politicians Of al
kinds, which affects elections to
greater extent than party principles.

wrong direction. for man who think

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.

THE UNITED STATES AND CUBA.
The probability that what is known
as the Cameron "joint resolution" rec
ognizing the independence of a hypO-
thetical republic of Cuba will be passed
by both houses Of Congress at Wash
ington has been discussed in Spain
with more reserve and moderation
than has usually been thought con-
sistent with the Spanish character 1t
is satisfactory, that this is so, for the
conduct of the American ''jingoes" is
undoubtedly provocative, and if it were
met in the same spirit in Madrid the
preservation of peace could hardly be
guaranteed AT the same time, 1t must
be borne in mind that no decisive ac-
ton has yet been taken by Congress,
and that, even If such action were
taken, it does not follow that the pol
icy of the United States would be nee
essarily affected thereby at any rate
during the presidency of Mr.. Cleve-
land, which will not come to an end
until the 4th of March 1897 What
will happen after the change in the
executive government at Washington in
March next il is not easy to say. Mr.
Mckinley. if he follow his own bent. is
not perhaps. much more likely than
Mr.. Cleveland to surrender any part of
that independence Of the executive
which is regarded by American const-
tutionalists as one of the characteristic
merits of the Constitution of 1887. But
il is believed that Senator Sherman,
who showed unexpected heat and Bit
terness in the Cuban discussions early
in the year, and who is remarkable for
the impetuosity with which he follows
the drift of the majority, is likely to
be nominated as secretary of state by
the new president.
On the whole, however. il seems
probable that the hand of the govern
ment at Washington will not be forced
/ fer a couple of months to come, and
! that, under the next administration,
/ there viii be no more disposition than
/ there is at present to enter upon the
! incalculable risks of a war with Spain
and upon the attempt, inseparable from
that enterprise, to incorporate Cuba,
with its haf-Spanish, half-negro popu-
latiOn, in the political system of the
| United States. We trust the Spaniards
will keep their heads, as, indeed, they
appear to be doing very creditably. But
declarations of firmness on the part OF
the government at Madrid will not suffice
I
aggravated by gross mismanagement
Whatever may be the constitutional fu-
tilityof the action Of Congress at Wash.
ington, its moral effect. as We pointed
out some time ago. must be most en-.
couraging TO the insurgents in Cuba
and most depressing to the Spanish
people. It is all the more imperative
upon the government at Madrid tC
seize the opportunity that now presents
itself, while President Cleveland still
remains in Office, either to restore
peace to Cuba by vigorous action or L
agree upon a compromise which woul'
bring a ruinous and suicidal struggl
{ to a close. AT present it does not ap

vice, not only in Washington, but in
many of the states and in some Of the
cities of the country. This practically
divorces politics from moffice-seeking. We
do not know whether the governor Of
Indiana favors civil service or not, but
we agree with him that appointments
to office are important and much de-
pends on how they are made. This is
the basis. we believe. on which he has
decided to attend to his more important
duties first, and not TO the offices until
he has ample time 10 fully consider
such changes as he feels are for the
public good and possibly for the good
Of the Republican party.

DEMPSEY AND SINGLE TAX.

There is no likelihood that the Single
Takers will get any favorable legisla-
ton from this General Assembly. OF
the thirty members composing the
body. but three are favorable to the
bin introduced by Representative Nc
Coy. and their support will be given in
fulfllment Of ante-election pledges
rather than because they are believers
in the Henry George theory of taxa
tion on the basis of land values.
On Tuesday we printed in our legis-
lative correspondence, an interview
with Representative Dempsey, of this
county. 1t sized up the situation in a
most matter-of-fact manner, and, If
there were any unpledged members
who had doubts as to the propriety of
granting of concessions to the Single
Takers. those doubts were confirmed.
Mr.. Dempsey demonstrated by official
figures taken from the legislative can
vass of the vote for governor, that out
of total poll of S5,O7S votes in the
state, the Single Tax ticket received but
S55. In conclusion he saidi
Is it to be imagined that the New
Castle county members will be so deaf
to the expressed will of the people as
to say that the judgment of 769 men
shall outweigh in the legislative halls
the judgment of 21,796 men in thai
county,
Can any sane man believe that The
Kent county members will regard ths
expressed wishes OF the Ga Single Tax
ers in the county and disregard The
wishes of the 1923 voters who refused
to endorse Single Tax, but did endors'
either principles?
Would the Sussex county members b
justified in voting for a tax system
which but twenty-five Sussex cOuntian.
endorse and S,504 Sussex countians re
pudiate?
We think not. The disparity betweeI
34,223 votes and S55 votes is entirel!
too great to be disregarded. The people
have passed upon this question and we
as the representatives of the people
must take il for granted that If they
as mass, were so eager for Single Ia
experiments, they would have pole
more than S55 votes for the Single Ia.
ticket.
Here are three business-like ques
tions from a matter-of-fact man VIII
regards the expressed will Of the peopl
at the polls as the guide of the mem
bers of a General Assembly.
We presume that the Single Taxer
will go to Dover and urge favorable ac
tion on the bill They will be given
courteous hearing and-that is all.
