The efficiency Of the detective
department has been greatly i'm
paired by the petty actions of De-
tectlve Barney McVey. How can
good work be done it the two de-
tectiyes pull against one another;
that is, not confere with each other.
The people have right to expect
better treatment from the depart
ment which costs the tax payers
over $500 a year. The trouble
started over the trial of Detective
McVey by the Legislative Commit
tee, Barney accusing Witsil of not
coming forward and helping him in
his fight. Instead Witsil held aloof
and did not take any part in the
fight, as it was not his OK that was
being gored, and he did not con-
slider that he had anything to fight
over. 1t is time that the States
Attorney General has taken hand
in the matter, and given Detective
MeVey to understand that he owes
the State more efficient service than
be has b cen giving it lately, since
his falling out with Detective WitslL
FRED EDEN BACH has resigned
from the rural free mail delivery
department at Washing ton, and
has been transferred to a RESPONSE
BILE and lucrative position in the U.
S. custom service in Cuba. The
salary OF the Office will be 4,500.
Some people will be pleased to hear
that Fred has been sent so far
away from Delaware, as he has
been held responsible for a great
part of the fight between the two
wings of the party. He is one of
the shrewdest politicians in Della
ware, and could kick up more noise
than any other six Republicans.
He deserves all that the party can
give him as he is capable to fill most
any position in the Federal Depart
ment. The Star says: "Mr. Bach
is born politician, and during the
past ten or fifteen years has been
an ever present disturbing element
in the political arena of the
Diamond State. -

sufft Justice for the chiId Butcher

Swift Justice for the Child Butcher.
Smell, the murderer, should be tried at
once: The Times has no desire TO preiudge
the case Of even a man notoriously guilty
OF the most brutal and shocking crime
within human remembrance. The law and
its orderly administration exist for such
a creature as much as for anybody else.
But the sentiment OF the people OF this
town is that they cannot draw breath much
longer in the same atmosphere with this
frightful monster. Certainly there must be
some way known 10 the officers OF the law
by which its machinery can be invoked to
expedite trial in an extraordinary case
like this, Il is the business of the Dis
trict Attorney to find such way Justice
as swift as severe should be meted out
to the most horrible villain that Wash
ington has ever known among its inhab-
ilants.
We cannot recall another single crime.
no matter how heartless CT cruel, that
has excited the people OF the District as
has this ono. It's circumstances OF incon-
oeivabie atrocity, the presumption of
precedent crime and terrorism committed
against The helpless little victim, all cry
for instant justice. What win the au-
Lhorities do2
The times., 1899-08-09
Mr. GoebeI.

1t is both brave and consistent in Mr..
Bryan TO declare his determination to visit
Kentucky and work for the election of Mr..
Goebel, the regular Democratic candidate
for Governor. We are not advised of any
political reason why he should not do SO, if
he can spare the time; but it is courageous
10 take such action in the face of influences
which Mr. Bryan will antagonize, and
which, under certain conditions, might
hurt him next year.
The alleged irregularity of Goebel's can
didacy may affect the minds of Kentucky
people in the heat of campaign, but it is
not making much impression elsewhere.
When any part of a community noted for
personal and aggregate bravery of high
order appears before the court of public
opinion and gives a whining excuse for de-
fection from the party banner. its motives
and objects VIII be scrutinized closely be-
worthy or permissible
Mr. Goebel went into convention OF
Kentucky Democrats at Louisville, con-
trolling less than third of the dele
gates. He came out of it nominated by
majority of the whole convention. He was
first nominated by legal quorum, but re-
fused 10 consider that action final. and
waited until it was ratified by majority of
the entire body.
II must be extremely humiliating to the
representatives of any State faction who
took part in that Louisville affair TO urge
that they were overpowered and outyoted
1 by the friends of a minority leader. In
such circumstances allegations OF irregu-
larity on the part of the winning side are
generally regarded as too ridiculous for
serious consideration.
This is so well known that wise and vir-
taous opponents of GoebeI. like Col w c.
P. Breckenridge and others, eminent for
party loyalty, have seemed 10 consider a
collateral issue necessary. They advance
the proposition that the people do not like
the candidate. OF course, if State and ma
tional political organization and action are
to depend solely upon the question of per-
sonal affection for, or dislike of, the nomi-
nee, the easy way for those voters with
whom the Goebel personality is unpopular is
10 cast their ballots for the Republican caa,
didate. But it is a poor argument, and
doubtful Democratic doctrine. 10 hold that
a man who has gone through all the legal
lied forms and preliminaries of campaign
for party honors. has advanced from posi-
tion at the tail of the procession TO its
head. and has become the candidate. Is not
entitled TO the support of the organization
Mr. Bryan is right in going TO Goebels
assistance. The Browns, Breckinridges,
and others who now stand out in opposition
to the Louisville nominee, are boilers as
disloyal TO regularity and the Democratic
cause as were men of the same class who
betrayed and left the party in 1896. They
have no hope in their present course to ac-
complish anything beyond the defeat OF
Democracy in Kentucky. A vote for Brown
would only be equivalent 10 two or three
votes for the Republican candidate. Per-
sisting in their designs these recalcitrants
will be responsible for the certain loss of
the State. and John Young Brown and all
his coadiutors know what a serious handi-
cap that would be in 1900.
