their differences without Demo.
cratic aid. Last Tuesday, ID
spite OF q difference Of opinion Oh
the question of the necessity Of d
re organization Of the Court, two
fof the Republican members en-.
tered into deal by which Mr..
McF6rlan was chosen by the
tesof two Democrats and two
Republicans. This is even more
censuable than the action of a
year ago, as there is plenty of
evidence of q deal. And what is
surprising, is that the man who
suffered from the action of 1905,
accepts office at the hands of his
then opponent. Truly, politics
makes strange bed fellows.
On the question of organiza-
ton, THE TRANSCRIPTS not sure
where the right lies. The So
called 3Seven Commissioner
Act which is the latest Levy
Court law we have, being passed
in 1901, after providing for the
election of the commissioners in
1904 and every fourth year there
after. provides in Section 8;
'sThet the said Levy Court Commits
constitute the Levy Court of New Castle
County, and shall meet for organization
on the first Tuesday in January after their
election, and after taking the oath pre-
scribed by the Constitution shall proceed
to elect one of their number to be the
presiding officer. = The said Levy
Court shall have the power to make rules
for their government not inconsistent
with the Constitution and Laws of the
State, and after their said first meeting
they shall meet at the times now pre-
scribed by law for the meetings OF the
Levy Court of said County"
Acting under the authority
conferred by this section the,
present Levy Court adopted a
set of rules that provides for the
election Of a Chairman annually.
The question that will probably
have to be settled by the Super
ior Court, is as to its conflict with
the provision of the law requir-
ing only one first meeting.
This question We cannot an
swer, but we are unquestionably
of the opinion that the Republi-
can members did not do right
when they allowed it to become a
question. The Democratic mem
bers played politics, and did it tac-
cording to the rules of the game
to get advantage. On the last
Tuesday of December, Messrs.
Scott and Salmon go out of their
way TO express how much pleas
ure it will give them to vote for
the reelection of Mr.. Hopkins.
On the following Tuesday, at
least one of them votes with
another Democrat and two Re-
publicans so elect McFarlan.
This is not inconsistent. 1t is
playing politics.
