THE case against Senator Kenney
relative to the Dover Bank was given
to tee jury yesterday, Judge Bradford
closing his charge shortly after one
O'Clock. The judge was all night pre-
pairing the charge, which took an hour
and fifteen minutes to deliver. It was
able and clear and evidently fair,
though counsel for defence noted ex-
ceptions. The matter now rests with
the jury. There are surmises as to ac-
quittal, conviction and disagreement.
The case has been ably handled and
has excited great interest. District
Attorney Vandegrift merits the thanks
of all for duty we'll done. His has
been disagreeable task and be has
discharged it with signal ability. The
defence has been ably conducted, the
sensational features which were prom
ised not appearing. Among the wit
nesses was Col. E. T. Cooper, who tes-
titled in behalf of Mr.. Kenney, Judge
Bradford having granted the writ for
Mr.. Cooper's appearance. The other
cases have been continued to the fall
term of court. The defendants, the

Queen Anne,s Railroad .

The official board of the Queen Anne's
Railroad Company is now interested in a
study Of specifications bearing upon the con
struction of new boat. Nothing definite,
however, has yet been determined upon.
There is very little likelihood of any change
being made in the operating arrangements
of the company this year. The rumored
withdrawal Of the Favorite and immediate
substitution of another boat is denied by
the company. President Bosley says that
new boats, such as will meet the demands
of that particular traffic, are neither easy
of purchase nor charter. In fact, it is
difficult to discover aprocurable boat which
will in every way answer the purposes re-
quired in service on that line. What is
actually needed can be provided only by
the construction Of new craft designed in
accordance with the company's ideas. 1t is
that which the official board now.has under
consideration. Whatever may be their
decision, no new boat will be bought or
built before next season.

THE CUBANs AND THE JUNTA.
The Cubans and 1.-THE Cuban Junta"
in this country are proving alike disap-
pointing. Before Santiago the insur-
gents would not throw up necessary
entrenchments because ''they are SOL
diers not laborers,' and they would
not fight lest the Spaniards prove to
outnumber them. They willingly eat
the provisions sent from this country.
They are now in the sulks because
Santiago was not turned over to them
for pillage. They are evidently an ig-
norant. bigoted lot.
The Junta in this country is proving
itself no better. 1t did an awful lot of
shouting before war was declared. The
"Evening JournaP' fully and we be-
liev 9 very justly describes its position
here now:
'sBefore the breaking out Of the war
between the United States and Cuba
there was little junta in our city. If
we are not mistaken, it is still here,
while hundreds of Delaware men who
never frequented the revolutir nary
storm centre; never prated OF what
sacrifices they were willing to make
for Cuba Libre; never engineered
philanthropic projects for relief of the
Cuban patriots, have given up good po
sitions and the comforts of hoUe, and
are now in uniform, encamped in an
open field, beneath the blazing July
sun, without pay for two months, and
eagerly waiting for orders which will
take them to the front, while the lead
ing members Of this same local junta
are here at home, engaged in business
and enjoying all of the immunities Of |
far removed from the
scene Of strife and bloodshed. We have
it upon good authority that one Of the
leading members of this sane local Gu
ban junta promised his wife, before
war was declared, thas in such an
eventuality he would not go to the
front. Many others of the aggrega-
tion Of long-distance believers in Cuban
independence are giving excuses which
walk on two crutches.
1t is, so far as these patriots are con
cerned, pity that the exigencies Of
this sanguinary occasion are not such
as to necessitate draft which would |
take in this same coterie Of a.itators
and send them to the front, no matter
what their excuses are or how great |
their unwillingness."

VOLUNTEER ARMY.

Fairly good progress has been made
in recruiting for the volunteer army
under the Presidents second call for
$4,000 troops. The plan adopted by the
War Department was to recruit all the
volunteer organizations in the army up
to their maximum enlisted strength be-
fore entering upon the recruitment of
additional troops. The total number
Of men required to fill out existing

the latest returns the total en1istments
under this plan are 27,519 men.
In order to show the progress of re-
cruiting under the second call the fol-

August, the 6th, 18Th and Goth, are the
days that come drst, and in New Castle
county, no one can vote at party pri-
mary election, unless they shall have
been registered. For this reason the
state convention and the county and
district nominations will have to be
delayed till at least the last of August,
and then with the new and changed
conditions of our government under

district will be the master of its own
affairs as regards nomination, which
will go far to produce party unity and

The Smyrna Times" Republican pa
per, with reference to the question Of repre-
sentation in Republican State conventions,
makes this significant statement: "The
Democratic State conventions have the
same number of delegates from New Castle
as from Kent and Sussex counties-ffty
each and their harmony has never been
disturbed by the question of representa-
tion." What will the Morning News" an
other Republican paper, say about this p
Every Evening.
We do not know what the Morning
News" said about this or whether, in
deed, it said anything. Occasionally
the Morning News" gets the right
word in the right place, politically.
In the first place we are surprised
that any Delaware Republican should
hold up Democratic methods or GUS
toms in this State as a pattern to
be followed. Certainly the "Smyrna
Times" has denounced them enough
for the last two or three years to blush
when dUing so.
Why are New Castle Democrats con-
tent to 60 into convention on an equal
footing with their brethren of Kent or
Sussex? Because they are, in the mi
nority in New Castle county and must
depend upon their party associates il
Kent and Sussex counties to win their
victories and nubbins. Mr.. Bayard, il
we mistake not, owed more than one
election to the United States Senate to
Kent and Sussex. Mr.. Gray, we think.
has been likewise indebted. The roos-
ters Of this county and Of the city of
Wilmington have had to rely upon the
simple-hearted tools from Kent and
Sussex to do outrageous legislation to
keep hem in power. We call the ad-
vocates Of Levy Court steals. &C.,
'roosters," because we do not believe
the self-respecting Democrats Of this
State have approved Of these methods. |
Only political ''roosters" are guilty. |
Here. then, is TeasUn for CUn Bnt as /
to representation among the Demo-
crs tic politicians of New Castle. The |
"Times'' may or may not see the point.
As to why the $4,000 self-respecting
Republicans of New Castle county,
and a majority party in the county on
any fair test. should submit to the die
tAtion Of less than 1000 in Kent coan-
ty, which is minority party in the
county save possibly when Doodle de-
cides otherwise, we do not know. 1t /
is matter we could never comprehend. |
In the last election Kent claimed in
the Union-RepubIican nominations all
the pluma, pudding and bag as we'll.
All or nothing, said her petty politi-
Clans, and it was nothing or nothing
to the Republican party. How long
shall this blind suicidal policy prevail /?

MY MARYLAND.

The circuit court at its session in Queen
Anne county on Monday, July IS, decided
an interesting case which came over from
Caroline county. 1t seems that the county
commissioners of Caroline county, which is
Republican board, insisted that Mr.. Whit
by, the Democratic County Treasurer,
should perform the duties of the clerk to
the county commissioners for a salary of
$500, and prayed mandamus for this pur-
pose. Under the law which Mr.. Whitby was
elected treasurer, he got salary of $1,000
The Republicans at the session of the Legis-
lature attempted to amend this law and to
compel the. County Treasurer to do the
work of the clerk to the county commits
sioners in addition to his other duties,
and fixed the compensation at $500. There
was also another law which by some over
sight passed the Legislature, allowing the
clerk of the county commissioners to re-
ceive sum not exceeding $500 for such
services, the allowance to be in the discre-
tion of the board. The circuit court held
that Mr.. Whitby must perform the duties
of clerk to the county commissioners. but
to the horror and CONSERVATION of the re-
publican board. the court held that in per-
forming these duties Mr.. Whitby was enti-
tied to his salary of $1,000 under the old!Act
the salary of $500 under the new Act, and
under the third Act he was entitled to such
part of $500 as the commissioners would
allow him for services rendered. Thus by
endeavoring, through a political trick, to
put Democrat in hole. the Republican
Commissioners have to their surprise and
chagin given Mr.. Whitby surely the hand
some salary of $500 per annum, with pos
sibility of $4,000 staring them in the face
