The Grand Jury in the United Staten
District Court, which has for nearly
two months had under consideration the
cases growing out OF the Dover bank
defalcation, Tuesday evening, practically
concluded it's lahors by returning in
dictments against seven more persons,
on charges of conspiring with and aid
log and abetting William N. Boggs in
that defalcation, and ignoring indict
ments in the cases of three others.
Among those against whom indictments
we're returned is United States Senator
Richard Il. Kenney, who Is charged
with completely in tho bank looting to
the extent OF s23. 461. Of.
The work Of thia Grand Jury is
worthy of the highest commendation.
The members have performed their
serious duties with the utmost fidelity
and consistency OF purpose. Truly, they
have been 'nU Iespectors of persons, !"
but have conacientiously investigated
each cuse upon its merits, and returnad
true bill or ignoramus, according as the
weight of evidence inclined them, No
question Of personal or official standing
influenced their minds, and the fact
that one OF the men indicted holds what
is frequently asserted to be the highest
and most honorable official station in
this country-a seat 10 "the greatest
deliberative body in the world"-did
not tend to secure to that defendant the
slightest immunity. To the Grand Jury
all the defendants stood upon "a level,
and were given equal consideration
The names of the men who hnve thu
made themselves conspicuous by rigit
performance os duty, are as follows:

The political primaries this year will
be held under the new system, which
provides that only persons registered to
vote at the election may vote at the
primaries. This is an admirable pro,
vision, but it will be interesting to
note what the Republican politicians
will do about it. Heretofore they have
regarded the Primary Election law as
applying only to Democratic primaries,
and conducted their own without the
slightest regard for its provisions. They
will have to change their views and
their conduct now, with the new law
in force. -..--.=
