CRITICISM, JUST AND UNJUST.


Dover fndeT.
Much of the criticism which has in
the past, been melted out to the General
Assembly on account of the length of
its present session, has had its origin
10 misconception of the trus con.
dition; but We have now reached a
point when each new week added to
this session, lenGH justice and color to
these very accusations.
Tho uigation of the new Con-
stitution rendered certain changes in
our laws natter, not OF choice, but
of necessity, The preparation Of bills
embodying these changes necessitated
time and labor; and when this part of
the work was performed. still further
time and labor we're required for their
proper consideration. The pertinent
question at present is, huweyer, how
much time, and how much labor?
There is a limit to reasonablsness in
such things, and the people are now
asking themselves and the legislators
whether that limit las not been fully
| reached.
Four months of session, and moi one
important bill yet become law, is the
fact, difficult of explanation and justi-
| fication, which is ever present 10 the
public mind.
1t is no longer possible to plead want
| OF business, since number of i'm
| portant bills are, and for some time
have been. before tho Assembly. Why
then this inaction and delay?
Responsibility and censure should
not be doled out too generally. Ii
should be fastened only upon the coats
OF those really in fault. 10 state that
all tine members alike are responsible, is
to err grossly. Amy one who haH wit
nesssed the deliberations OF the present
General Assembly knows where the
real fault lies.
As a matter of fact. the Legislators
have divided themselves into two
classes, the conscientious and the con
sciencelsss; those desiring TO perform
their duty. and those striving to shirk
1t; those wishing to make dispatch,
and those seeking delay.
| Tbs true culprita are those members
who are continually offering objections
to all sorts and conditions OF measures,
who are even eager for further time
for consideration and who cloak their
attempts to check action and tiispatcb
with pretended zeal for improved logls-
lation.
1t is not expected that this General
Assembly will be able 10 formulate and
enact in perfection all the measures
rendered proper by the change in our
organic law. When another eight
months shall have rolled around, a ne "
Legislature will be in session, read '
and able to perfect what this Assembly
has done imperfectly, to correct errors
and omissions. Our present Legislators
should not permit themselves the idea
that they are the last to SIT in our
State Capitol.
We make the following statement sd
visedly. and with full rehsnsion
of all the facts in the case Two weeks
more will afford ample time for this
Assembly to perform all the work that
is absolutely required of it, and that ii
may, after those two weeks, adjourn
sine die. This is not conjecture nor
surmise, but fact. There are members
who appreciate its truth: it is the
amendera and objsctors who are Gun
Stunning rhe money and the patience az
the people by intsrminahle delay.
