Our NOn-parfisan pnIice.

Considerable has been said by our Demo
cratic rulers, at different times, about our
non.partisan police force To show how
sincere this non-partisan commission is
we are informed that out Of seventy men
just 81 are Democrats and 10 Republicans.
How it happens that the men are not more
equally divided we cannot guess, unless
tho commissioners hold that it is their
duty to provide for men of their own polit-
ical or religious faith. We hope when
changes shall be made In the future Re-
publtcans will be given the preference
until something like au equal mint :.
shall be obtained. The same disparity OF
numbers Of Republicans exist in the
offices of the different depa rtnents of the
general government, under the civil SER
offices had been filled by Democrats Mr..
Grover Cleveland issued his instructions
so that they might retain their positions.
Many Of the Republicans who were dis.
missed should be re.nstated, and the
Democrats be made to understand that
non-partisan or civil service rules means
something like an equal division of the
offices between the members of the differ
ent parties
President Mckinley should let the
Democrats who are gobbling up all our
State offices see the policy they mete out
to Others shall be melted back to them
again. What Is food for the goose should
an equality in numbers shall be reached by
tine me'nDers Of each party in Office it will
be time enough to apply civil service
rules,

The M,pd.mu. c..e.

Argument In the Kent county manda.
mus cass was concluded on Saturday al
Dover, and Chief Justice Lore announced
that the Court would rendar its decision
on Thursday at o'clock p. m. The entire
Democratic party sustains the fraud prao.
ticsd in Kent county and it matters littls
what the decision of the Court may be, as
a way will be found to avoid compli.
ance with the demands of justice Judge
Grub prepared tho way to prolong this
contest by his decision in the Court Of
Appeals and it Is not surprising that his
party friends are DESTROYS that he shall be
taken care of In the future. The Legisla.
ture Is an illegal one, the majority in the
Constitutional Convention was obtained
by fraud and there Is no power 10 our
Courts TO insure fair and honest dealing
IL may be that the majority of the people
Will become Disguised with such usurpa-
zion, but for the present, 1t nourishes as
the green bay tree" In the name Of
Democracy, the greatest frauds are perpe-
trated and condoned and there Is no re-
dress, simply because greed for place and
power dominates the actions OK men of
whom better things should have boon
expected II they are not heartily sick Of
their short sighted policy, there can be no
hope in the future of better things and
the demagogues now ruling the State may
continue to do so for another decade, it i.
not forever. Instead of this being Gov.
ernment by the people. it is the govern.
ment by an oligarchy, for the benefit Of
the few, at the expense of the great macs,
who attach more Importance to a name
than they do to the principles on which
heir liberties are founded.

MONDAY. MAY 3, 1897.
The appointment OF Judge Bradford.

Inc appointment oil Judge Bradford.
The appointment of Edward G. Brad
ford as U. S. Judge for this District, was
made BY the President because of his
qualifications for the position. and not
with view Of favoring any clique or fac.
tion in the party. 1t is no dispasagement
to any lawyer In the State to say that Mr..
Bradford measures up very fully. in all re.
spects to the requirements of the position.
He is just iu the prime Of life, and in legal
ability and integrity he has no superior.
We are confident that he can rise above
all personal likes or dislikes in administer
Ing the laws, and as Judge he will have
no friends to reward or enemies TO punish.
AS it has been said tho late Judge Wales
remarked on one occasion: ut matters
not what my personal feelings may be, it
Is my purpose to interpret the law and
mete out justice to every man who may
have business in the Court" We believe
Mr.. Bradford will bs actuated by similar
purpose, and that no one eau say of him
that politics or any private consideration
were allowed to warp his judgment or to
shape his decisions, so that they may be
reversed by any other Court to which an
appeal can be made. Only housing polit-
ical schelners will continue to talk of his
appointment as the triumph Of any fac
ton Or clique and the people generally
will treat their deductions as lightly as
they do idle sounds that pass 10 at ono ear
and out of the other.

The Divorce Investigation.

The investigation of the charges that
certain members of the Legislature have
been guilty Of demanding money from
parties who have made application for a
adivorce, WILL doubtless lead to some very
tall lying. A man who is mean enough
to demand payment to vote for any bill
will be mean enough to try and lie out OF
it. Similar charges have boon ma dc
against members of former Legislatures,
but liz no cases were they 50 direct as
those preferred by tho Mcssrs. Hotfecker,
and therefore an investigation of their
truth was not ordered 1t is likely, how.
ever that the cuiprits in this case may be
permitted to escape punishment, as u fell
low feeling sometimes makes men won.
oerfully kind to each other The outcome
OF this Investigation we presume viii 10 a
heavy coat Of whitewash. We would not
intimate that ma ority of the members
arc ready and willing to take bribos In or
der to secure their support Of any measure
but we are often reminded Of the Old story
II the man who was acquitted of stealing
pig, and when asked how it happened AS
TIC proof was clear against him, explained
that eleven Of the jurors had received n
portion of the pork. As We said above, a
fellow fellow feeling makes men Wonurous
