IT looks as if the war on the island
of Luzon was about over. Our sol
diers have pushed the Filipinos so
fercely, capturing town after town and
driving them for miles, as to dispirit
them. This is the purpOrt of the dis
patch sent by Gen. Otis.
president Mckinley and his ad-
visors believe that within a week or
ten days the insurrection in the Philip
pines will be thing of the past.
Should that opinion prove true, year
from now will find the condition of the
natives in those islands so improved,
trade so stimulate : and all things SO
much better than they have been al
any time since Magellan discovered
those far away islands, that the Fill
ipino rebels will wonder what it was
that induced them to take up arms
against power whose benifcence has
extended to them many blessings Of
which before they were wholly in ig-
norance.

DRLAMAE DEMOCRAT.

The quashing of the indictments
against E. ID. G. Hegeman in the Kent
county court, is even more unsatisfac-
tory than the result in the Davis brib-
cry case.
The evidence against the defendant
was strong enough to warrant the
grand jury in finding true bill and
when the trial came on, instead of pro-
ducing witnesses to prove his inno-
cence, he took advantage of technical
objections to the indictments and thus
obtained his release. However inno-
cent he may be of the charges against
him, there are persons who will never
be convinced that he is not guilty and
the stain on his character will always
remain.
The crimes he was alleged to have
committed were very serious ones and
far reaching in their influence, and
any one committing them should have
received the full penalty of the law.

MILFORD CHRONICLE.

Driven by this clamOr, the Attorney
General has worked indefatigably, and
in his thorough and searching investi-
cations, has had the members of the
Legislature to make sworn statements
to him, that no one during the Sena-
torial contest had offered in anv bribe
for their vote for j. Edward Addicks,
for Senator. And out of the whole
number so examined there was but one
Lattomus, who swore that he had been
approached; and upon his evidence,
extOrted from him by Mr.. William
Michael Byrne, of WilmingtOn-the
would be U. S. District Attorney-G Gen
eral of Delaware Mark l.. Davis was
arraigned in the court as a sacrifice to
public clamor, and after an impartial
trial before the Court of Kent county,
by jury of his pears, composed of
nine Democrats and three Union Re
publicans, where they only took one
ballot-Mark l.. Davis was adjudged
mot guilty, thus proving LattOmus
liar.
In Duck Creek hundred alone, the
Attorney General, aided by Wilson L.
Cavender, who occupied a stolen seat
in the Constitutional Convention, who
with apparent great vindictiveness,
has had summoned to Dover, two hun
dred and seventy of the voters to find
out if they knew of any bribery frauds
at the last election. The Attorney
General has offered a reward of one
hundred dollars to any one who would
give him information, and strange to
assert there have been but four men,
one white and three colored, who
tempted by the reward, have been able
to give any testimony Upon their
testimony four indictments have been
found by the Grand Jury, and these
four cases which will come up for trial
before the three judges, have been con-
tinued until the October term of
court
1t is apparent to the most unthink-
ing, that the continued effort on the
lines above indicated, is simply perse-
cution. Nothing more, and nothing
less.
Yet there will be some here and
there, who will deny the truthfulness
of the verdicts, which are now history;
and these are the self-righteous, the
hypocrites, enemies of Union Re-
publicans.

PERSISTENT RUMOR That The Gov
ERNOR Has DECIDED or HANDy.-Al-
though Governor Tunnel has an
nOunced that he will not emulate the
example of Governor Stone of Penn
syivania, i'll appointing Matthew Stan
ley Quay, United States Senator from
that State, it was persistently rumored
Saturday that the executive will APP
point eX-Congressman l.. Irving
Handy to the senatorship this week
This story was given out and it caused
considerable comment among the Will
mlngton politicians, coming as it did.
almost Immediately upon the an
nOuncement that the Governor would
not make a senatorial appointment.
The proposed appointment of Mr..
Handy was discussed with concern.
Had the name of Willard Salisbury
been connected with the statement
there would not have been very great
surprise, but the name of Mr.. Handy
took the Democrats unawares. Dur
ing the week many friends Of the ex-
Congressman have waited on the Gov
crnOr, both at his Lewes home and at
Dover, and at the latest interview, the
story goes resulted in the Governor
announcing that he would appoint Mr..
Handy the early part of this week,

EVERY EVENING.

The decision of majority of the
Kent county court in the Hegeman
case-that the regulation endorsements
on a legislative bill are not part of
the bills one that will attract much
comment. Thus far, the trend of opin-
ion-general opinion has been to the
contrary.
4 bill, speaking in the general legis-
lative significance, is the paper that
goes to the Legislature and is intro
duced, read, and put through the reg
ulation stages, and endorsed by clerks
and committee iii accordance there
with Therefore all these endorse
ments have been held to be legitimate
part of the bill The law is the sub
ject of the enactment that passed the
General Assembly. The law in the
Hegeman case prOnOunces it an Offense
to conceal, destroy, or misplace with
intent to conceal, any bill pending in
the Legislature. AS the endorse
ments are inseparably connected with
the bill, it is hard to conceive how they
can be held not to be a material part Of
it, as they tend to impart to it the dis
tinctive character, which separates it
from any other paper purporting to be
bill, but which may not have even
been introduced in the Legislature.

MORNING NEWS.

The accused are considered innocent
at this time, in legsl sense, and if the
State finds itself without witnesses
next October they will still continue
to be considered as innocent even
though no hearing is had and no de
cisiOn is reached. The absence of
material witnesses" was not permit
ted to stand in the way of the accused,
but we fear that the absence of "ma-
terial witnesses" next October will
stand in the way of the States officers
when they attempt to produce their
| evidence. Thus where a recognition
of the rights of the accused is made a
recognition of the rights of the State
officers, who represent the people,
seem to be encroaced upon. The stu
alton is not encouraging as indicating
any possibility of reaching a judicial
determination of the questions of the
guilt or innocence of the accused, and
the fears of the attorney general may
be realized

of justice lies, if anywhere, will finally
be determined. We are inclined to
ask, Will it? 1t has been suggested
