SO long as the men who are at pres
ent in charge of Third street bridge are
permitted to remain there the levy
Court will be worried and badgered by
complaints which are too we'll founded
to be ignored. Every mechanical IA
cility has been given the men to enable
them to turn the draw promptly and 10
the perfect satisfaction OF shipping
men, but thIe large expenditure has been
wasted, for the men are both incompe-
tent and defiant. Now that the United
States engineer hes taken the matter
up the Levy Court should summarily dis
miss men whose services should have
been dispensed with many months ago.

NO POLITICS IN 1T.

In the matter of the mastering out
of Dhe First Delaware Regiment there
has been no such thing as partisan poi-
tics, and all charges to the contrary
are groundless. 1t is true that certain
men have beln scram'bling for first
place in the roll of honor Of those who
We're instrumental in securing the mus
tering out OF the two batttalions whach
are at present in our city, but, while
they are politicians, they are seeking 20
clJthe themselves with glory rather
than to serve any particular end OF
parity policy. These seekers af-
ter credit and praise are IN
no eense confined to the Demo-
cratic parity; neither does their action
weigh materially on one side or the
other Of partisan politics and proepects.
1t is very largely a personal matter, al
though some of them may imagine
that through them some soldiers may
feel impellcd, out Of sheer gratitude, to
think as they think and vote as uhey
vote on the great questions involved in
the approaching election. We do not
believe that such expectations will be
realized. The soldiers know that M
followed, ais "a matter of course, that, the
war being ended and The period OF
their usefulness having expired, they
would be sent home, orat leasta certain
number of them The fact that they
were no longer needed, coupled with
The importunities Of their relatives and
friends, led TO the sending home OF two
battaliOns to be mustered out. No pO-
ltical discrimination was made. One
battalion was ltft at Camp Meade be-
cause Delaware could not rightfully ex-
pect 10 Withdraw from the government
all OF her forces, while other states
were leaving their full and fair quota
in the field. Colonel Gordon was APP
pointed major Of the remaining bat
TALON because he is a regular army Of
ficer and admirably qualified to take
the command. His appointment was
made on merit, and not as the result of
political intrigue.
Both Republicans and Democrats
have been left at Camp Meade. Not
one of thtm need lose his vote if he has
interest enough and manhood enough
to register and vote. That was provided
for by law long before the First Della
ware Regiment left the state, and the
law is still in full force and effect.
Every provision has been made for
both registration and e'ection in the
field.
These statements being true, il is
apparent that charges Of political con-
epiracy are wholly without foundation

THE ROMANCE OF A RING.

At the close of The battle Of the
Tcheraya l was riding from the bridge
toward our camp when a zouave offered
me a huge gold signet ring which he
had taken off the finger Of a Russian Of
fcer. / need not mention how he had
obtained it, but I bought it as a me-
mento Of the day. 1t bore a massive
Shield, with a coat of arms and a coro-
net with the letter ~" l wore it oc-
casionally on my forefnger as a signet
ring, and the likeness Of it is to be
seen in an engraving from a photo
graph which adorns one Of my books.
When 1 attended the coronation Of tine
car, in 1856, Count -, adjOint OF
the minister Of Finland, to whom / tod
the story of The ring, took an impress
sion OF the seal, and discovered that
the ring belonged to a colonel, whose
widow, an English woman, who had
been a Miss Hope, of the Command
cry If worcester, was Then living ac
her country seat, some distance from
Moscow. l sent the woman the ring,
with few lines to say how fortunate
esteemed myself to be the means Of
restoring her q souvenir Of her gallant
husband. Before 1 left Moscow my falr
countrywcman brought me the ring,
and with many thanks asked me to
keep what WAS painfully associated
with the memcry of one whom she
could never forget. l was not destined
to keep it long.
The following year l was on my way
to Sir Colin Campbels camp, and
while the Nubia was coaling at Alden,
Stewart Murinead, of the Seventh
Hussars, and 1 were lodged in a sort Of
cave for the night 1t was intensely
hot, and my companion, who was a
confirmed sybarite, hired a Soma.i Arat
to fan him to keep the mosquitoes
away while he slept. I repcsed on an
adjoining couch, and when l woke In
the morning the ring which I were on
, my finger was gone. The hotel was
! turned inside cut, the police were sum
moncd, all the SOmali boys in Alder
we're driven like a flock Of sheep int'
the yard, where their wool was close
: ly searched and their scanty clothint
infinitely examined; but, though l OF
lfered egregfous ransom, the p. and O
Nubia sailed that day with me for Cal
l. cutta, disconso.ate and ringless.-Spec

RAnnnr IAW CHANGEs.

There has been a change in the law
regulating the method of voting, and
it is about time shat the voters are
made fully conversant with the mat
ter. For their benefit we reprint from
The new ballot law the following ex-
tracts which explain themselves:
Chapter 1856 Of the recent laws Of
Delaware. enacted in 1897 by the Cen
eral Assembly, reads:
Section /. That no person shall here
after be appointed as or actand servein
the capacity Of voters assistant at any
general or special election hereafter to
be held in this state, and the office OF
voters assistant, as provided by law
is hereby abolished.
Provided That any person who shall
be physically unable to prepare, stamI
or fold his ballot by reason of such de-
fective eyesight or the less of the use
OF one or both hands, or inability tC
walk with safety without assistance, al
manifestly renders him unable to pre-
pare, stamp OF folt his ballot, or L

him into the election room and boot
any elector, Cor two electors, if the ma
ture of the disability manifestly re
quires more than one, such as a tota
disability to walk to the polling dis
trict FOR the purpose Of rendering hin
the necessary assistance. In case an
elector shall feign any such physica
defects, he shall be guilty Of a misde

shall be fined 500 and be imprisone

are such as to compel them-to consider
the cost Of registration we would point
out the fact that the increase is only
25 cents per year. Formerly the poll
tax was rs cents year. This has been
reduced to so cents, making in two
years $1.-Delaware Pilot.
What is the matter with our es-
teemed contemporaries, the Morning
News and Every EVENING" They are
ignoring the first rule of party politics,
which is: Psint out the other fellows
weak points and your strong ones; keep
quiet about your weak points and his
strong ones.-Justice.
The result of Tuesdays Democratic
county convention in Sussex must be
extremely gratifying to the party in
that county. The nominees are OF a
superior and unexceptional class. Their
names should be guarantees for good
and efficient service, and should win
the support Of Democrats and Regular
Republicans alike.-Dover Index.
Thomas Francis Bayard died at the
home of his daughter, in Dedham,
Mass, Thursday, after a lingering i'll
ness. The deceased was one of the

the greatest statesmen the country has

Eayard the nation has met with a great
loes.-Suseex Countian.
BY the death of Thomas F. Bayard
the state and nation has lost a great
scholar and Statesman. He stood in
high esteem, the greater part Of his
mature life. Whatever estimate his
tory may finally put upon his achieve
ments, or how different he may seem
to us in his political views, justice can
not fail to pay homage and respect due
to a man of such admirable talents as
he eesed.-Milford News and Ad-
vertieer.
The Democrats, in this county have
nominated a good ticket and are united
upon it. A full registration and a full
vote of Democrats is all that is now
needed to ensure success. Let each
