GOOD ADVICE

In an interesting and stirring address
at the annual banquet of
the Sens Of Delaware in
Philadelphia on Saturday evening.
Judge Bradford uttered certain senti-
ments which should be preached til.

who love the State Here is an extract:
1t is a cardinal principle with all
honorable and patriotic men that TIE
ballot deposited by a voter shall repre-
sent his Will. and not merely the will
OF another. In so far as there is a de-
parture in practice from This principle
a blow is struck at the foundation on
which a republican form of govern

The exclusive publication by the

The Addicks papers are having a
great deal to say about the common
people. Wen. heaven forbid that some
Of them should get any commoner
than they already are. II reminds us
of a remark of the late Bill Nye. He
said that "the Lord had made man a
little lower than the angels, and that
he had been getting d little lower ever
since" There is lots of inexcusable ig-
norance and rascality masking under
the name of the common people. A
thief and a briber are common, both
in and out of the penitentiary. And,
by the way, certain editorial utter
ances have become SO very low that
they suggest q form OF indulgence
that is all too common. These remarks
apply to the scurrilous editorial re-
marks in the Sentinel. which whether
they are the work of State officer, or
common tramp, are too low to re-
ceive any notice.

DR.. A. Leteve. of Pittsburg, has
found a serum which. it is claimed. is
cure for tetanus. or lockjaw. There
is nothing startling these days in the
claim of such a discovery. We are
learning to fight all sorts Of disease by
innoculation. Smallpox, hydrophobia
and diphtheria have been greatly re-
duced by this method, and there would
be nothing strange in adding the
dreaded tetanus to the list. The cases
already treated with the new serum
seem ITO promise its success. No one
asks whether Dr. Leteye is homeo-
path or an allopath; it is sufficient to
know that he is an earnest physician

Guilty in obtaining a sufficient number
OF Regular Republicans in all in
stances is not wide from the truth,
since in certain districts 1t was diff
cult TO get a sufficient number of ap-
plfcants from all parties. of the
standing required for the service. Con-
grussman Ball insisted that he did not
care so much whether Regulars or
Union men had most of the places
providing the men were honest and
capable. It must not be forgotten that
in such cases Regular Republicans do
not follow the methods of Addicksism.

RIGHTS OF THE ACCUSED

John Lynn will be tried by a jury OF
his peers. and that jury will be COM
posed Of citizens of New Castle county.
His attorneys in asking for change
of venue were well within their legal
rights and had full right TO make
that move as a part of the defense of
their client The motion was refused,
properly so we think, but if There We're
no differences of opinion regarding
legal points we should need no courts.
Those who are interested in reform,
and who wish TO see justice done in
every particular, will be pleased to see
the rights of the accused fully pro-
tected; they will insist upon those
who are officially charged with wrong
doing having every protection that
law and equity demand II is the right
of the accused that now
the case is before a proper tribunal, to
have a suspension of judgment on the
part of the people. Popular elamor at
times may be necessary TO obtain the
apprehension Of violators of law, but
when the case becomes a court matter
public clamor should cease.
IL is a narrow criticism which finds
fault with the conduct of the counsel
for the defendant Under the genius
of our law there is certain machinery
under which all cases<are tried. Even
the assassin OF a President has coun-
sci thrust upon him that he may have
every advantage to which he is legally
entitled IL was within the province
OF the able counsel for Mr.. Lynn to
move for a change Of venue and to ex-
haust every honorable effort to sustain
their contention. There is no doubt
however. that the decision of the
court IN refusing it was sound. Ere.
quently there is a clamor for convic-
tion of one accused Of wrongdoing that
is impatient at those safeguards which
are thrown around every man. Tn,
public seems to forget that behind al
is the court, which decides all contro
verted points. When persons are con

Der OF the New Orleans bar who had

studied In the old mans office.

a wire basket fell of the top Of his
desk and scratched his cheek. Not
having any court plaster, he slapped on
three postage stamps and went on with
his work
A little later he had some papers TO
take TO the United states court and,
forgetting all about the stamps, he
put on his hat and went out
AZ he entered the office the Judge
raised his head and fixed him with an
astonlshed stare. The clerk stopped
