CONSISTENCY.

We suggest to the opponents of
occurred in 1895 is not an argument in
point. This may appear inconsistent but
is not always right Emerson
says: Consistency is deadly foe to
progress" If the philosopher had been
writing about and in near view of Della
wares political condition, he could not
have written anything more aptly des-
eriptive. In the condition of the Repub-
iican party at that time QS95) action
consistent with its old effete rules of ac-
lion would have barred all progress, and
he successes of ten years struggle
would not have been achieved. The
leadership and organization of that
time were not capable of successfully
ontending with the Democratic party
,ntrenched as it was. 1t needs no argu
ment but statement to prove that. The
issue had been tried to conclusion
and the Republican party had always
consistent with common sense to have
been consistent with party usages to en-
| tail a continuance Of party defeat and
decay. 1t may be put down as true that
an incompetent organization cannot an!
more make effective or wise rules than j
can achieve victories over its opponents
Ergo, consistency with what it sets on
as its precedents is inconsistent witt
common sense. All this has been re
yersed. The revolution has occurred
Success for Republican principles ha
displaced defeat,--the party that noN
proposes caucus, proposes party unit
as the basis of continued success, ha
proved its capacity and oners Il retur
for allegiance and service.
Consistency under wrong conditions
one thing and consistency under rigf
conditions quite another. We hay
come to the right conditions.

New Apportionment b II.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Burleigh bill is not open to criti-
cism on this account 1t establishes the
membership of the House at 1856. With
this figure adopted as the basis no State
would suffer any loss, while some would
gain, although not to such an extent
as to swell the total membership to UNI
wieldy proportions. Here is how the
gains would be distributed. New York,
Illinois and Texas would each gain three.
Minnesota, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
would be benefited to the extent of two.
while one each would be added to the
delegations from Arkansas, California,
Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Louis
iana Massachusetts, Mississippi, Mis-
ouri, North Carolina, North Dakota,
Washington, West Virginia and Wiscon-
in. 1t will he observed that these ad-
iitions are pretty well distributed over
he whole country and that while the
| North owing TO its greater development
| IL population, receives the larger part
4 If the advantage, the South is not ex
| luded from share in the increase.

one set Of delegates to the
National Convention at Philadelphia, |
one State ticket for the campaign and
one set of county and district tickets for
the campaign Of 1900. In those PROPOSE
tons they proposed that the majority
should have first choice of any candi-
dates to be named, to the minority to
have its own undisputed choice of the re-
naming candidates in each and every
case until the ticket was completed.
Upon this plan the Union Republicans
propose the holding of Republican
caucus for the selection Of candid; ties for
the two United States Senatorships to
be filed by this legislature; the caucus
to be binding upon all the Republican
members of the House and Senate; that
the majority shall name the first Sena-
torial candidate, and the minority the
second Senatorial candidate without in
reference or dispute, and that the Sena-
torial candidates so named shall be voted
| for and elected by all the Republicans
Of the General Assembly.

the only plan proposed that recognizes

liable terms for the minority-terms OF

There is no time limit or legal bar to
the constitutional authority of the House
ard Senate TO judge Of the qualitica-
tions and election of its own members"
As is usual, the Democratic opinion of
the relations of statute and constitution
al law in the Learned-Scottcn case is
subject to Democratic party needs and
desires. For instance, in early days Of
the anti-slayery agitation the constitu-
ton provided, according to Democratic
IDEAS, for the pursuit and capture of a
man, woman Or child running away
from slavery, but when the slave owners
attempted to destroy the Union the con
stitution provided no way to prevent
their doing it. So it is in Delaware,
there is plenty Of law to defend Demo-
cratic evil-doing but none to punish it.
That is as democrats interpret law.
