PATIENCE EXHAUSTED

For four years the people OF this conf
munity have patiently endHed an unsut-
ferable nuisance in the peiton Of mis-
called Justice of the Peace. The reason
for their not resorting to legal means to
depose him did not grow out Of any con-
sideration for him, but neighborly re-
gard for bis friends. When histime ex-
pired a month ago, it was supposed that
deliverance had come from the plunder
and outrage which too amiabe people
had suffered at his hands. But It seems
not so A short while ago, when the
very sad and unfortunate quarrel took
place between George B. w. Rhodes and
Henry K Armstrong. which resulted in
the arrest Of Mr. Rhoades, who was
brought before Alfred G. Cox, The new
Justice OF the Peace, to answer for an as
sault and battery upon the person Of Mr..
Armstrong, this Ex-J. P. at once got it
into his head that he was the Attorney
General, and with the impudence of the
devil, appeared before the magistrate,
presuming to represent the State as a
public prosecutor, and with extraordi-
nary industry and oficiousness intermed-
died before and after the hearing, much
to the disgust of every one. 1t was the
plain duty of the new Justice to have
committed him to the custody of the
Constable and had him locked up. The
law of this State does not permit laymen
to assume the functions of lawyer.
Up to the present time the new Magis-
trate has not put out any sign indicating
his official relation. But the said Ex-J.
P still maintains faring sign to the
effect that he still remains in that official
capacity.
Not satisfied with these offences, he
goes one better than tie performance of
any other Justice of the Peace, or Ex-
Justice of the Peace, Of whom the State
has any record.
For the past week Mr.. A. G. Cox, the
present Magistrate, has been, and now is
i'll, and confined to his bed, under the
care of physician. In his absence the
aforesaid Ex7J. P. has in his possession
the dockets of the said Alfred G. Cox,
and issueing summonses ETC., to persons
to appear before him, William R. Rey-
nolds, one of the Justices of the Peace
ETC., forthwith" and proceeds to sign, or
to have someone else to sign the name of
Alfred G.. Cox J. P. thereto, and issues
the same to a Constable to be served and
returned, who, of course, had too much
sense to regard it,
We want to say that patience is now
no longer yirtuous. If this enterprising
Ex-J. P. does not subside, we will find
some way to subside him. And to tie
new Magistrate, we want to say that if
you have not already gotten your dockets
in pour possession, you had better get
them there at once. Such derelictios---n'
your part is sufficient cause for your re-
moyal from Office, though undoubtedly
you may not be aware of the fact. Those
dockets are public property, and many
people are interested in them, and you
are responsible for their safe keeping.
They are not safe in the hands Of a per-
son who is SO manifestly proper subject
for commission Of lunacy.

sMALL rox scARn N Couar.aooM

a scene occurred at Dover last week
during referee trial in the Levy Court
room before Referees John Saterfeld,
John w Casson and Joseph McGonigai.
The case was that Of William R. Cahoon
and William H. Moore against Laura D..
Lockwood, to reclaim an amount obtained
on Judgement against them in the mag
istrate's court by Mrs. Lockwood, who
contended that field Of corn which
they seized and sold on debt of her hus-
band, was her individual property.
Kenney & Magee were the attorneys for
Mrs. Lockwood, while Henry Ridgely,
Jr., and w. w. Harrington, appeared
for Messrs. Cahoon and Moore. Just after
Mrs. Lockwood had testified, Sheriff
Frank Reedy hurried into the court room
and exclaimed: Excuse me, gentlemen,
but that lady is just out ofthe smallpox
There was death-like silence, Sheriff
Reedy meantime moving toward Mrs.
Lockwood as though he was about to
arrest her, and the attorneys and specta-
tors were about to take it as joke, when
in hurried Dr. T. O. Clements, exclaim-
ing that Mrs. Lockwood had no business
here, that smallpox had appeared in her
neighborhood in West Dover hundred
and she had been going in and out among
it. He exhibited letter from Magistrate
Castle reporting the existence Of the
smallpox to the State Board of Health.
The attorneys, apparently stunned,
looked at each other 'fYou may take
the witness, Mr.. Magee," said Lawyer
Ridgely, "But I am quite through with
the witness, - insisted Mr.. Magee, "and
really, gentlemen, if you will excuse me,
i have another important engagement
elsewhere" have some pressing busi-
ness outside, too, gentlemen" retorted
Mr.. Ridgely, as he sought for his hat and
started out. In few minutes there were
hardly enough people left to hear the
referees decide for the defendent, and it
is said that the judges themselves hurried
out without ascertaining about the costs
of the case.

THE ELECTIONS


will be held in several states
for state officers. In Maryland
the contest is of interest be-
cause ex-senator Arthur Pue
German is once more in COM
mand Of the Democratic forces
and is making the disfranchlse-
ment of the colored man the
issue Of the campaign, In prep
aration for this fight, the Legis-
lature was called in special
session and enacted new ballot
law that practically keeps all
illiterates from voting. Against
these odds the Republicans have
put up a stiff fight and by means
of their night schools in every
precinct and district have been
able to get their voters in such
shape that they express con-
fidence in the result.
In Pennsylvania the interest
lies in the fight against Quayism
in the state and Ashbridgeism
in the city of Philadelphia, The
Independent Republicans, or
"Insurgents, have combined
with the better portion OF the
Democrats who are led by ex-
Governor Pattison, and the
indications are that the contest
in Philadelphia will be very
close, with a prospect of the
defeat of John Weaver the Re-
publican candidate for District
Attorney.
In New York, all interest is
centred in the fight against
Tammany and for once all oppo-
nents of that organization seem
to be in harmonious and enthus-
iastic support of Seth Low who
is making a hot fight for Mayor.
In this fight, he has an able ally
in Justice Jerome the candidate
for District Attorney. The
latter has been telling some OF
his own experiences with the
police and Tammany officials
and has so incurred the enmity
of the machine" that at least
one attempt has been made on
his life, and it is charged that
the police had knowledge of the
plot if they were not the prime
movers in it. The chances in
New York appear to favere the
reformers and the betting is now
at ODDS of-46 to 8 against Shep-
hard. One of the striking fea-
lures of this contest is the part
some Of the prominent preachers
are taking in the campaign. A
number of them are speaking
nearly every night and are
openly favoring a law to permit
the saloons to remain open for
the sale of beer, wine and malt
liquors all of the Sabbath except
during the hours.of church SER
vice. They take the ground
that in this way temperance
will be more general than at
present and there will be less
lawbreaking and less drunken
ness.
In the other states, the cleo
tions are of hardly more than
local interest and all may be
expected to vote as in the past.
There is no doubt that Virginia
will 60 Democratic nor that
Rhode Island will go Republican.

Edward D. Cunningham was intro
Iduced as a practical politician. One who
likes a caucus scrap and one who likes
to come and talk harmony afterward.
Mr.. Cunningham spoke of the pleasure
he experienced in observing harmon
ious conditions in the ward and the
degree of satisfaction he entertained in
the part assigned him in bringing it
about. He told stories of caucuses in
which he had taken part and quoted
the words of his friend Dan" Scannell
in support of certain matters.
Mr.. Cunningham asked the voters to
remember that they were living under
the best government in the world and
that the Republican party was respon-
sible for 1t.
Benjamin F. Curtis assured the
voters of the interest felt by the whole
city in the Ward five situation and said
that if the Republican Club could do
anything to assist at this time its
members were ready to do it.
