Col. Henry Waterson the leading
Kentuckyan was asked a week or so
ago about a new leader for the party,
and if he thought David B. Hill would
be a formidable candidate? He replied;
"You had as well ask me what the
weather conditions will be when the
next Democratic National Convention
meets. In my opinion however the
hope of the party lies in the coming out
of new leader from one of the strong
Northern States, New York, Ohio or
Indiana. think, too, that he will be
man now comparatively unknown.
You will recall that Tilden and Cleve-
land were almost unknown when they
were nominated and electrified the
country. The man always comes with
the occasion" Asked further about
Mr.. Bryan, he said he was an unknown
quantity and could do the party a
great deal of harm but he declined to
characterize silver as a dead or living
issue.

AMONG the first victims of the grip

was President Mckinley. 1t looks as
If it had cut short all the White House
Receptions in Washington. The Dip
lo.natic reception which was planned
for Jan. 9th and the dinner for the
10th were recalled because of the Pre-
sidents inability to participate.
While Mr.. Mckinley is steadily re-
gaining his strength his advisers insist
that he shall exercise all possible care
in preserving his health. Then too the
accumulation of business as the ses-
sion of Congress advances will demand
his attention and the remainder of his
time will be occupied by preparation
for the inaugural address yet to write.

that one and possibly two dinners

The severe hazing that cadets to
West Point receive as shown in the
congressional investigation into the
causes of the death of young Booz,
is received with shock of horror over
the whole country.
During the discussion of the Army
Reorganization bill in the Senate, Mr..
Money (Miss.) adverted vigorously
to the practice of hazing at the West
Point Military Academy, declaring it
must be stopped or the institution
must be abolished. He said nothing
could induce him to believe that the
way to make good soldier was to "set
great big bully" upon a smaller man
to beat him. 1t was not the way to
make soldiers and it was not the way
to make gentlemen. lie did not refer
he said to horse play and practical
Jokes, but to mob violence and coward
ly brutality.

men, all of them scholars of charity,
who are paid for taking their educa-
tion, who get together and mob
another young man whose only crime
is that he arrived at West Point two or
three years later than they.
He declared that the man who hazed
others at the military academy would
be tyrant and a despot with the men
of his command after he received his
commission. He did not believe the
cadets realized the contempt in which
their actions were held by the Ameri-
can people. The practices there, he
declared, ought to be, and must be
abated.

the members of the Military Affairs
Committee 'when he sees the West
Point Bill, which will be reported in a
day or two" The different classes
through their presidents have sent i'll
word that they will desist from hazing
in the future.

THE Senate last week in addition to
refusing to confirm the appointment of
E. r. Cochran, Jr.. as judge of the
Municipal Court of Wilmington, (for
participating in the attempted steal of
the sherifalty of New Castle county,
also turned down by strict party vote
four of the Justices of the Peace, hav-
ing confirmed eleven persons appoin-
ed by Governor Tunnel. We do not
know what were the reasons in the
cases of the Justices of the Peace foI
turning them down. If not for incom.
petence or some fraudulent act it was
bad faith and worse politics.

The EUeTy Euenin9 takes up the
Learned -Scotten contest and argues
for technicality as against the spirit
of the constitution, an act of the
Legislature in preference to the or
.ganic law. Itdoes not undertake to
say that Scotch had more votes than
Learned, which question ought to be
settled by recount of the votes before
a committee of the House because the
methods of certain politicians of that
section have been as peculiar" as
those of the heather Chinee for some
years past. The position of the EUery
Evening is that as Mr.. Learned did
not make his contest before the judges
of the Superior Court, nor yet on the
opening day of this session, as estab-
lished by law to correct irregularities,
he has outlawed himself. The infOr-
nation that would have constituted a
claim for the judges to act upon, we
learn, did not come to him until after
wards. We also hear that Lawyer
Hayes contends that the Constitution
does uOt prescribe time, but leaves the
respective Houses to be the judges
themselves as to the right of member
ship All this trouble, however, would
have been avoided if Mr.. Learned had
filed his notice of the contest on the
first day of the session instead of seven
days after.
1t says: Mr.. Learned had the op-
portunity to make his contest before
the Superior Court of Kent county
Chancellor Nicholson and Judge Pen
newill sitting as board of canvass.
At his request the court would have
opened the ballot-box and counted the
ballots. But he did not do this. He
waited two months, when the Legisla-
ture assembled, and then asked the
House of Representative to open the
ballOt-bOx and count the votes, after
the ballOt-box had been In the custody
of some of his political friends during
all this time
AdfAnS ldAlOu " lICSS HIS OpDOl luh
ity, neither he nor his friends now
have any just cause of complaint
against the House of Representatives
at this late day.
Says the Wilmington Sun: "Mr
Learned has still right to renew his
contest against Mr.. Scotch. The vote
in tine House did not settle the ques-
tion between them in any right way
did not invalidate any OF the cOnstitu-
tional rights of Mr. Learned, or the
Constitutional rights of the House.
Neither was there any good political
motive behind the votes against Mr.
Learned. EUery Evenings reference
to his failure to make his contest be-
fore Judges Pennewill and Nicholson
is not decisive. The statute law upon
which Mr.. Scotten won, has "safe
guarded that is EUery EUening
word, the ballots and the law as he ap
pealed to it. He will get justice, il
the men who voted against Mr.. Lear
ned finally agree to reconsider theii
votes and do him justice.

The inhabitants of our large cities
are waking up to the importance of
good government. Philadelphia has
followed New York in inaugurating
what they call the Citizens Unions for
Good Government. The object seems
to be, according to their statement, to
work for the nomination of good can
didates. The call declares in so many
words that vice is protected by the
city government The latter denies
this: there may be much vice in the
city, but they declare it is not protec-
ted by the city authorities.

Why Dinah Wept,

Not long ago lieutenant in the
navy was ordered away on a three
years cruise. The order had ueen
dreaded for weeks, and when it came
the young wife, who was to be left in
a Brooklyn fiat with baby AMI a
cOlored servant, was in despair.
She controlled her sorrow very well,
however, until the actual moment OF
parting came, and then she Wept as
though her heart would break. The
cruiser was to leave the navy yard
early next morning, and the lieutenant
had gone to report for duty.
In the midst of her lamentation The
young wife heard a shifting and sob
bing in the dining room, and upon
glancing through the door she saw
Dinah, the colored maid, rocking her
body to and fro in chair and weeping
violently.
