Delaware Republicans are not angry
at Internal Revenue Collector Parlett
for reCklessly violating the Civil Service
Law by Strengthening Democratic subor-
dinates in order to make room for lie
publicana They are angry only because
he appoints Maryland Republicans 10
places il this State, instead of Della
ware Republicans. They PROPOSE to
appeal to President Mckinley, hut il is
hoped that tho President will not listen
to complaints of this character but
will sharply rebuke the collector for his
assault upon the Civil Service and his
contempt Of the Presidents recent
order. 1t is ropurtod that tho opinion
Of the Attorney General, prepared by
Assistant Attorney General Boyd. sus-
tains the right OF tho collector to re-
move all deputies, and declares that in
making appointments the collector is
not bound by Civil Service regulations.
The opinion, ii is understood, was con.
sidered at the cabinet meeting on Fri
Gay, anu while it has not yet beer
male public, it Is said to have been
approved by tho President and the
membors Of the cabinet. In view Of
President MGliiuley's recent attitude,
however, it is hard to see how thil
report can be- true.

The Union Republicans have decided
to hold State convention at Dover on
November 18th, to consider matters per-
tanning to Republican politics in Della
ware. just how this may affect the
situation is not clear, but it may have
an important bearing upon the next
campaign. 1t will 5e remembered that
the first State convention of last year,
although held under the old apportion
ment, was captured by tho Union
faction, and the Regulars bolted,
although subsequently, they were. by
legal authority, declared TO be the Re
publican party, as far as place on the
official ballot was concerned. in other
respects, the Unions are the regular
organization, and they will hold State
convention next month and adopt az
apportionment for future State con
vontions, OIL the lines proposed at the
recent session Of the conference com
mittees. The other faction will con.
tinue in the attitude of boltnrs, and
these conditions promise TO continue
throughout tho next campaign. II
therefore behooves the Lemocratic
party TO put forward its best and
worthiost leadership, in view 0f the
certain victory that now promises to be
its portion at next years election.

The course OF Collector of Internal
Revenue parlett of the Maryland Della
ware district, is so disgustingly and
brutally partisan that it should DO
Gternly rebuKed by tho President.
Aside from the violation Of the Civil
Service law, Collector Parlett's course
is positively indecent. Common tour
tosy would demand that no at least give
ordinary notice to the subortlinates he
proposed to remove. but instead no
started upon the work OF decapitation
the instant he assumed charge Of the
office, Such sudden and wholesale
changes are sure to dlsorgauize tho de-
partmeut and lead to inefficient service.
Abiding to the procedure from the
standpoint of the Civil Service, the
Baltimore Sun says:
Col. James D. brady, the internal
revenue COLLECTOR in the Richmond
| IVA district, found that he could
ovade the Civil Service law and mp
pointed his own deputies under the
provisions of section ;'l4S of the Ro'
vised Statutes. Mr.. Parlett has fol-
loved Col. Brady'H lead, and IL now
remains for President Mckinley anu
his cabinet to determine whether these
officers OF the government arc TO lie
allowed to ignore the spirit of tho Civil
Service law and to fill their Offices with
partisans. or whether the plain intent
of the law shall be rigidly enforced and
no employe lie removed except for good
aud sufficient cause. Tho suction oil
the Revised Statutes under which Col.
lirady and Mr.. Parlett justify their
action must have been known to Presi
dent Mckinley when he issued his
order few months ago excepting only
few employees in internal revenue dis
triuta from the protection of the CLASH
fed Civil Services This removal of en-
pluyes regardless Of that order is very
grave mattrr and should receive the at
tentiun OF the President and his cabi
net at once.
Under the circumstances, it is hare
to son how President Mckinley can 70
frain from rebuking these extensively
partisan officials, who are nsultinGll
disregardIng his recent official orde
with respect TO ths Civil Service
Delaware Republicans should Join il
the protest, as the rev collector is over
looking their claims for positions in tn
Delaware part of the district, ant
awarding them to residents of Mary
land. Looked at from any point o
view. his conduct is desricnble, am
the President should check his otTensiv
procedure with stern hand.

Other papers than the New York Tri-
bune are. scoring the New. York Sun
fur its mendacious courae in local and
national politics. Here is a true ar
raignment from the indianapolis News
1.-The New York Sun can always be
depended ON TO take the wrong side in
municipal politics. There has never
been great rascal in office in New
York City from Tweed down that it did
not laud and exalt There has never
hoen good man that it did not abuse
and befoul There has never been a
great job it did not approve and de-
fend. Thore has mover been an earnest
movement for reform that it aid not
msrepresent, maign and ridicule.
just now it is seeking with all its
powers TO bring the candidacy Of Mr..
Low into contempt. Probably no
American paper was ever 40 wilfully
wicked in regard TO local politics as the
Nav York Sun. 1t is always ON the
side of corruption. -

Good showing at delaware college.

This years Freshman class at Della
ware College has now reached the
number of 80, with the probability of
some acoessions. The class is much
the largest that has entered the college
since 1891, and is probably on the
whole tho best prepared that has
entered since the reorganization OF
1870. The total number OF applicants
for admission to the class was 81. All
hut four members of the class are Della
wareans, ana the four exceptions are
residents of Maryland. The average age
OF the class is between II and 171s
years.
Rather moro than one-third OF the
nav students have chosen the Latin
Scientific course, nearly one fourth
have chosen one or tine other Of the
Engineering courses, three have chosen
the Classical course, and the others
are distributed among the Agricultural,
General Scientific and Special courses
The total number OF students of all
classes now on the college roster is 50,
and that number will probably lie in

short Agricultural course OF the winter

DUKE OF YoRK's TOUR ALONE =
Strange rumors are afoat respecting
the origin of the report published by
the London Times, and since denied,
that the Duke of York is to make a
tour of the British Colonies in com
mand of the new fast cruiser Terrible.
The,story goes that the duke is using
all his Influence to rejoin the navy,
with the intention of starting Oh q
lengthy cruise. The Queen, however,
opposes his going alone, and wishes be
should travel with the Duchess of
York; but gossip in society has it that
this is exactly what the Duke does not
want to do, as he and the duchess do
not Init it Off too wel-a fact not very
surprising when the circumstances OF
thar union are recalled.
The duke.h has sullen temper, quite
unlike his father, while the duchess IL
imperious and resolute. and possesses
considerably more brains and savoir
faire than he. The result is friction,
which was especially manifested dur
ing their Irish tour, when the Duchess
was impatient at the reticent, wooden
attitude of the duke toward the people,
upon whom he made very Indifferent
impression. ~s
They were charmed, on the con
trary, with the duchess, The sudden
