party could not arouse enthusiasm on
any issue, and so it lost. A taste Of Re
publicanism may stir up the Democrats
and bring new life into them"
The truth was not hard to ascertain
even though Roney waited several weeks
ere he published an admission. How
ever, even then he lacked the nerve to
name the real and recognized leaders
who brought the standard of Democracy
in this State to the ground.
The naming of John Pyle as man
who must be relegated to the rear, in or
der to purge the party OF one more man
whose counsel is unwse and likely to
bring dishonor on the party, is matter
of which Joe Roney must say further.
If he knows why this man is a dicredit
to the Democratic party let him say
what it is and prove that the repudia.
ton of John Pyle would be benefit tc
the Democratic party.
The Sun has shown that the leaders in
Kent county should be deplanted and
the party repudiate them.

The Philadelphia Record in a re;iew Of
the Congressional result of the recent
election speaks of some OF the political
starswhose effulgence will not brighten
the next House of Representative" and
says there are others of less magnitude
worth mentioning. The old members
will miss the mellifuous apostrophes OF
Levin Irving Handy, of Delaware 1t is
safe to say that the people know what
they want in political matters, and as
long as the Republic lasts they are apt to
get it. New stars take the place OF those
blotted out and give way in their turn
to new astral creations. Aside from this
the tide ebbs and flows, and there is
much f1otsam and jetsam afoat; yet as
the years roll round the country appears
to be fully as we'll served as it was in

Quite large portion OF the wharves at

RULE GRANTED.
Supreme Court Justices Green and
Williams Stay Proceedings in
the Case of Senator Quay.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1l.-A sensational
development in the now famous case
against Senator NJ. S. Quay, Richard r.
Quay and Benjamin j. Haywood was
announced Yesterday when in became
known that Supreme Court Justices
Green and Williams had on Friday
granted rule to be served on the Dis
trict Attorney to show cause why writ
of certiorai should not be granted to
transfer to the Supreme Court all rec
ords in the proceedings instituted
against the above-named petitioners,
which are now pending in the Court of
Common Pleas.
The rule is made returnable on Satur-
day, January 7, and this effectually
blocks all further official action of Dis
trict Attorney Graham in the matter, ex-
cept the filing of an answer, as his tenure
of Office expires with the current year.
There, is, however, possibility that he
will be retained by p. f. Rothermel, his
successor-elect, as assistant counsel in
the prosecution, though both these gen.
tlemen assert that this subject has not
so far been broached between them.

The Madrid correspondent of the London

TIE parliamentary outlook is less sat
isfactory, despite the praiseworthy efforts
both the government and Senor Silvela are
making to induce the opposition to reduce
the wonted dilatory debates, with a view
to getting voted rapidly those bills and au-
thoriZations which are indispensable TO en-
able the government to carry on affairs
In the present critical circumstances.
unfortunately Senior RobeGo and some
Carlists and republicans seem deter
mined 10 provoke retrospective and irritat-
ing debates, simply TO further personal and
party aims. Perfectly needless of the
grave consequences of such unpatriotic
attempts to weaken the government in the
presence of war with America, they con-
tent themselves with insisting upon pro-
tracted debates on the address In the
lower house the extreme opposition groups
and some generals also insist upon a fresh
discussion of Cut IN affairs
The Madrid correspondent of the Daily
Mail says: 'Senor Cadorniga will ask in tne
cortes tomorrow for the expulsion of GER
tain foreign correspondents His request
refers to the representatives OF American
