THE AcKLAN pIVoRcE.

The House, in accordance with its ac-
tion to reconsider the irregular method
by which the Acklan divorce bill had
been killed last week, went into COM
mittee OF the whole yesterday, gave
Mrs. Acklan hearing and passed her
bill.
II ever there was a just piece OF di-
vorce legislation enacted, the passage
of the Acklan bill yesterday was one.
No member Of the Legislature has
questioned Mrs. Acklan's right to a di-
vorce on any other ground than that Of
residence, and who shall cay that she
is not bona fide resident of this state,
when she, herself, is in evidence and,
under oath, testihes that it is her in
tentlon to remain here?
The whole case in a nutshell is that
Mrs. Acklan had been made the victim
of a horde OF lobbyists and shyster law
yers,. who did any and everything in
their power to hold up the case in or
der that they might be retained to help
pull 1t through. This disreputable
work was ably augmented by the fake
dispatches and highly colored and sem
sational correspondence sent out by a
lot of pencil-pushers who, either by
reason of incompetence or unreliability,
are unable to hold a desk in any repu-
table newspaper reportorial room and
swarm about the legislative halls and
root out every morsel of gossip which
they can twist or turn into a commod-
ity OF value at dollar or so a column.
The work Of these lobbyists. shysters
and news-mongers was ably supple
mented by our highly esteemed and in
fuential local contemporaries, who ar
rogated to themselves all the virtues
under the sun and undertook, at the
end OF the session, to show the Legis-
lature what monstrous thing II would
be to allow Mrs. Acklan to have her
divorce, but said not a word as to the
hundred and odd other divorces which
had been granted, no one of which, il
is safe to say, possessed the merit of
this one.
Those members of the House took a
manly stand when they found that
they had been led into an error against
woman and did all they could to right
the wrong Mr.. Dempsey ably express
ed their sincerity when he said that
he and his associates could better
bear the criticism of a prejudiced press
than could the woman whom they had
unintentionally wronged, and every
legislator who changed his vote on this
bin deserves to be complimented and
congratulated for proclaiming the cour.
age OF his convictions, the vaporngs oi
a vituperative press to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
For those members who honestly be
lieyed that they were doing their duty
in voting against the bill, we have n,
word OF criticism. They did what thel
believed to be right in the premises
Mr. Dempsey's speech in favor of thl
bills passage after he had voted to in
definitely postpone. had the ring of sin
cerity, while that of Mr. HAZEL, who ex
planned and apologized for his persona
criticisms on Mrs. Acklan, smacke
much OF insincerity. He should nov
apologize for the apology.

THE LAST WEEK

This is the last week of the legisla-
tive session. Already the members have
oyerstayed the time allowed by prece-
dent, but they have had enough public
business to keep them busy and de-
cided that it was their duty to remain
in session until the public demands
weresatisfied. Therewin benoadjourn-
ment sine die, for the reason that an
other session will be held next Fall or
Winter to take action on the new Con-
stitution. Just when this adjourned
session will meet has not been deter
mined, but there appears to be a grow
ing sentiment in favor of adjourning
until the first Tuesday in next Janu-
airy.
That session will probably be con-
fined TO certain lines of legislation
and men who have schemes to work
through the General Assembly will en-.
deavor to accomplish their purpose
this week For this reason the mem
bers ought to be on their guard ant

in their possession.

GAME DEAD In THE WEsT.


A Chicago dispatch says: There was
great jubllation among the New York
ball players when President Freedman
announced that he had completed ar
rangements with President Won der
Abe. of the ST. Louis Club, to transfer
the Mound City series of next Thurs
day. Friday and Saturday to New York.
They are all sick at heart at the out
come Of this unfortunate Western trip
and cannot get back home any too
soon.
There will undoubtedly be a great up
roar at the transfer of this series but
Mr.. Freedman is determined to bring
matters to an issue. He is thoroughly
disgusted with the way the New York
Club has been treated in schedule and
other matters, and there is music in the
air for President Nick Young. and, in
cidentally, the small club clique said
10 control him.

TALKING TO THE GALLERIES.

TALKING TO THE GALLERIES.
When the bill to establish a State
Board Of Agriculture was being de-
bated in the House on Friday Repre-
sentative Donaldson made the asser-
ton that when corporation bills come
on there are lobbyists to speak for
them, but the poor farmer has no one. i"
This is queer talk to come from Mr.
Donaldson.
No member of the General Assembly
has been more subseryient to the
lobby. His record on the bill to extenS
the privileges of the Wilmington ANA
New Castle Electric Railway Company
is enough to condemn him. He likes
to talk to the galleries and was doubt
less doing so when he made the state
ment above cited. Farmers are too
matter of fact to be caught by such
chaff. If Mr. Donaldson wishes TO es-
tablish a record as a friend of the far
mer, he must undo much that he has
done and do much that he has left un-
done IN the few days which intervene
between now and the day of adjourn
ment
Evening journal., 1897-05-25

and this thought should serve as
monitor to them. II is useless for them
to throw the weight Of responsibility
upon the lobby, for that body of inter
ested men has no responsibility to any
one but its own conscience. Whatever
is done the members must stand sDon-
sor for, and they cannot shirk the re-
sponsibllity.
