THE BRIBERY CASE

The exciting event Of the past
week in the Legislature was the
declaration of Representative
Hearne of Nanticoke hundred
that a fellow member, Represen-
tative Layton, also Of Sussex
county had offered him a brlbe
to stay out Of the joint conven-
ton, on a day when it was known
that two Republican members
were to be absent. thus reducing
the number required to form q
majority.
The investigating committee
heard testimony on both sides,
but as usual in such cases, one
party affirmed that this was the
truth, and the other party said
it was a lie. The committee con
sisting of two Democrats, two
Union Republicans, and one Reg
ular Republican, have not been
able to agree on a report. Such
matters are bad things to try
aud reach an agreement on or to
arrive at a true verdict, as from
their very nature there can be
but two witnesses, and Of course
one will testify exactly the oppo-
site to the other, and each out
slider must draw his own conclu-
sions.

SENATOR

Next Tuesday will see the be-
ginning Of the end. The ballots
to-day and Monday will be purely
perfunctory, as the General
Assembly will be present at the
inauguration Of President Nc
Kinley for the second term. It
is to be hoped that while they are
in Washington that some word
may be spoken or some influence
exerted that will result in the
election of two Republican Sena-
tors. Should they arrive in Dover
in time to ballot on Tuesday
there will only be four days left
in which to settle the matter, and
If connections should be missed
there would remain only three
days. If the Republican mem
bers intend to elect two Senators
they should not delay the matter,
as there are a great many i'm
portant bills demanding passage.
We certainly hope that these
members who have been honored
by the party are not going to
deliberately throw away the
fruits Of the victory, and place
those men who have done the
work for the past twenty years
that has resulted in freeing Della
ware from the grip Of the Demo
cracy, in such a position that
they will have to commence all
over again. And we are firmly
Of the opinion that a failure
to elect now means that

st. Georges Hundred il shape.
When the bin as originally drawn
which provided for an additional
tax OF seven ~ cents per 500
for 9 period OF ten years was
sent to Dover, it was accompan-
led By q petition signed By 80
per cent. Of the tax payers of the
Hundred praying for its passage.
But after its introduction some
body happened to remember that
this debt was contracted BY DEM
ocratic officials and this bill would
permit OF its payment By Repub-
licans. So in order to handicap
the present commissioners and
enable the Democrats to say
when the next election draws
near that the Republicans have
not kept the roads in as good
condition as the Democrats did,
this amendment was tackled on.
If this holding of the commits
sioners in poverty was a matter
Of only a few years it would not
be so bad, but it is for ten years.
Nearly every one of the creditors
Of the Hundred is Democrat,
and if the Democrats can stand
the racket the Republicans can.
So, if the measure cannot be
in such shape as to allow
the commissioners to secure
money to keep the roads
in good repair, it is better to kill
the measure. The Senate should
refuse to concur in the House
amendment and send the bill
back, and allow the responsible
lity to rest on the House where
it properly belongs.

that makes the bill worse than

the Commissioners are limited to
