fendant, and particularly one in case
Of this kind, should have some rights.
Senator Kenney is innocent, and we
believe nine-tenths of the people be-
lieve him to be. We have very serious
doubts about the government believing
him guilty.-Sussex Countian.

trio light plant. We can see the hands
OF our older citizens go up in holy hor-
ror at the bare mention of spending the
amount Of money necessary to make

and all that term implies upon the

The Regular Republicans OF Kent
county have made a mistake IL they
are really in favor OF the defeat Of Ad-
dicks. The surest plan is to support
the Democratic legislative candidates
and thus elect men who under no pos
sible circumstances will vote to place
the adventurer in the United States
Senate. There can then be no doubt
Of the election Of the entire Democratic ]
ticket in that county and his defeat
will be ssured.-Delawar Democrat. |
The Constitution guarantees to every
man accused a speedy trial where he |
can meet face to face his accusers, and
where, If he be able, he may disprovel
the charges and go forth free man.
Not only in person, but in name and |
reputation as he was before the |
charges were made against him. This
constitutional right has been denied to
Senator Richard r. Kenney by the dis
trict attorney and the Federal Court |
Of this state.-Milford Herald.

There is a growing and dangerous
tendency, encouraged by monopoly

OF a public servant should be open to
unrestrained criticism. So alone can
liberty be preserved. The paper that
seeks to stiile criticism is ar enemy to
free institutions-Jus

The position Of Senator Kenney
would in itself demand the speediest |
possible action on the part OF the
court and it is to be hoped the court
will reverse the action Of the 10th, and |
order the trial to proceed on the 25th
instant, as heretofore agreed on by
both sides. The way Nin which the
government has conducted all the pro-
cecdings in this case has been unusual
to say the least, and has reflected any
thing but credit on the prosecution
