At Dover, on Tuesday the hearing Of
Representative Mark L. Davis, Union
Republican, on a charge of attempting
TO bride Representative Francis H.
Lattomus, a Regular Republican, by
the offer Of pecuniary Inducements, to
vote for j. Edward Addicks for United
States Senator, took place before a
magistrate of the town.
The result was that Mr.. Lattomus
told his story, the defence interposed
no denial, and the accused legislator
was held in $1,000 bail to await the
action of the grand jury at the coming
term of the Kent county General
Sessions Court.
1t would be better for tho interests
of Justice, and for all parties to this
controversy, il a case of this character
could be tried by the court, without
the intervention of either grand jury or
a petit jury" as the new Constitution
provides with respect to allegations of
bribery in connection with voters nj
general, special or primary elections.
But the encouragement is confident
that these provisions of the Consti-
tuition do not apply to charges Of
bribing, or attempting to bride, legis-
lators, and so will follow the usual
proceeding of indictment by grand Jury
and trial by petit Jury. Here is good
opportunity for legislative enactment
to secure the desired change.
However, no matter what the mode
of trial, it will be we'll to prosecute
not only the pending case, but al
others that may be unearthed, al
thoroughly and as speedily as possible.
The scandal is deep and far-reachint
one. Three members of the General
Assembly voted for United State
Senator in such manner as to Civ,
occasion to the gravest suspicious o
their motives, and there are rumors o
others who had been bribed to vote il
like manner, but failed to do so, a
the last minute. The pending case j
in addition to these, and applies onl
toa member who is charged by anothe
member with offering him bride 70
his vote, which offer was spurned
There is rich field for investigation
and it should be worked for all ther
may be in it. 1t would be lastin
reproach to permit the lapse of time +
dim the public mind and, perhaps
dull the public conscience, in deain
with such attempts to bring disgrac
upon the State.

ohow setting points ofthe
Old World before you decided on
your spring gowns? To be sure,
you'd have a busy trip-to Monte
Carlo, Nice, Vienna; yes, Dublin
and St. Petersburg; besides the
places you thought of-London and
Paris.
Well, the trip is taken for you by
proxy several times each year. It's
our business--we set experts to do
it. And an expert can see more of
the styles in a six-weeks' jaunt than
a traveller could on the first trip, be-
cause our buyers have entrance to
every modiste's inner work-rooms
and know just how to economic
time. They take in art, too, and
the beauties Of the country-for
beauty lies back Of style and its
study prospers their business.
We know no retail store that sends
SO many of its people abroad each
year-and, hence, leadership in dress
goods and silks and costumes and
millinery and the other lines. This
isn't said boastfully. We merely
want you to know the care we've
given to the selection of the Dress
Goods for spring.

county of Sussex has been wasting
great deal of money in paying interest
at the rate of 9 per cent per annum. 1t
would have been the part of wisdom to
fund the entire floating debt, years
ago, which could have been done at q
rate of 81. or A per cent interest.
However, nothing can now be done
until the Legislature meets again.

economy, and endeavor to keep the
running expenses of the county down
