THE ROYAL EAR


Certain Of the Addicks sheets appear
to be suffering from an acute case OF
mental strabismus They appear 10
think that no citizen may approach the
Governor with an expression of opin-
ion or a recommendation, unless they
can first prove their adhenence to the
peculiar brand Of Repubicanism which
his Excellency bears. When It is said
that certain OF our citizens will appeal
to the Governor to sign the Voters AS
sistant repeal bill, they are told that
their political loyalty will be question
ed. All Of which shows the trend of
the times. We have established a sort
Of oligarchy, and citizens are to be de-
MED even the right OF petition unless
they first set forth their subsarviency
TO a particular boss. 1t Is intmated
that no one may approach the Governor
with any suggestion or request unless
his credentials are perfect. and those
credentials mush show unwayering
attachment to the Boss behind the
Governor.
Now the Constitution guarantees TO
the individual perfect freedom in ex-
pressing his political preferences, and
the laws contemplate a secret ballot,
but the machine reverses all this;to ex-
press preference not in accordance, with
the views OF the reigning powers
means that the offender must be pen
allied; and unless he declares openly
his conduct at he polls. he may not
even behold the face OF his Governor
Now. unless cur whole theory of gov
erument has undergone a TRANSITIONAL
tion, this is the view Of men Of defective
vision The Governor of the State OF
Delaware is surely not an angry god
70 be propitiated. He is not an autocrai
who may extend mercy by thumbs ur
or send us to the block by thumbs
down. He may ba enswathed in that
dignity which doth hedge a king,
but, presumably, all OF his subjects art
entitled to courtesy and 10 have their
real grievances redressed.
We presume that the gentlemen who
will approach the Governor on the mat
ter Of the repeal OF the Voters Assist
ant act will show due Difference and
respect They will remove their shoes
in the State House corridor, and crawl
into the awful presence on their knees.
Once there they will prostrate them
selves until bidden to rise and state
their grievances. and then they will
have the floor They should tell His
Excellency that TINS Voters Assistant
act is the most pernicious that any
legislature OF his realm has ever pass
cd; that IL is used solely for the pur,
pose OF shielding the briber and extend
ing his TRADE; that il is the instrument
through which both the old aud th'
young are debanched. and that no Coy
ernor worthy Of the title would hesi
tate a minute to assist in its beinl
wiped out
II at this stage the members Of tn
delegation are asked whether they ar
Republicans, and whether they hav
always voted for Addicks men. the
should answer calmly and respectful
that it is Dobody's business. 1t shoul
be sufficient that they are reputabi
citizens of Delaware If tiie royal ga
is to be open only to partisan suggG
tions. then we shall continue to have
government, not for the State. but fo
the sole use and benefit Of sing
party.

There has been a number of revolving
murders committed in lower Delaware
in The iast few years. but there have
been few arrests and no convictions.
Nobody wants to see innocent persons
charged with these crimes. but It is de-
plorable that the guilty persons cannot
be detected ana brought to justice

shad Have Disappeared.

Fishermen are wondering what has
become of the shad, which were so nu-
merous last week IN the Delaware

but few are being caught. The fish ar
rived much earlier than usual this
year, and it is thought the cold days
of the past week has caused them to
