THE President could not make a
more unpopular appointment than
that OF Rev. Jonathan S. Willis for
Collector OF Port for Delaware.
We have nothing, person ally,
az ainst the reverend politician, but
he has attacked numerous men
when their views did not suit his,
and these same men have not for
gwen him. He is not the man to
he p cement the breach in the Re-
publican party in Delawa are, but
will widen it and keep up the TOOL
light which has been going on ior
some six years or more. If Presi-
dent Mckinley wants to give Mr..
Willis an Office, make him post
master at Milford, or give him some
job down in Kent or Sussex coun-
ties. There are plenty OF good Re.
publicans in Wilmington, who can
fill the Office to the entire satsfac-
ton Of the Republicans of this
State. Let the Pres dent turn down
both men recommended for the po-
sltion and select some one who has
not been mentioned.

The Rev. DR.. Hdrcourt of the
Peoples Methodist Episcopal
Church in Reading, Pa. has issued
orders that beginning next Sunday
evening, all ladies attending wor.
ship will be expected to remove
their hats before the sermon begins
and keep them off until after the
doxology and benedlction. The
utility OF this order may be ques-
toned by ministers OF some other
denominations, as it may be remem-
bered that the appearance of few
ladies at Chris. Church last sum.
mer without their hats was dis
countenaneed by Bishop Coleman,
and his face was unalterably set
against such innovation on ancient
customs. { The Methodists, however,
are progressive denomin alton and
it may be that little opposition will
be made to the enforcement of the
rule that DR.. Harcourt promulgat-
ed. 1t the ladies are satisfied TO
remove their hats during preaching
We do not see why any one else
should object to their doing so, as
certainly there can be no irrever-
ence or levity thereby incurred.
Comfort and convenience should
determine the question rathar than
the old rule OF keeping their heads
covered during divine service. We
have not heard of any disposition
on the part Of the ladies in our city
to disregard the custom of "ye an
Gent days" but there is no telling
what they may be prompted to do
the coming summer, The world is
progressing and the ladies will not
prove laggards in any reform
movements

As it is. and has beer, we amount to
ne4hing in the councils of the party, and
by taking a step at this time we have
everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Owing to petty squabbles of the
down State Republicans. word
comes from Washington that the
contemplated free rural delivery
system in Kent county would not be
put into effect. The routes, it Is
said, had been carefully mapped
cut, but when it came to the selcc-
ton OF the thirty or forty carriers
required TO put the free delivery
service into effect, then the trouble
began. The squabbing would end
soon if the President would divide
the Offices equally between the two
factions, and not letthe Democrats
hold office.
