BRIBERY AS A Thing or THE PAsT.

II ESPITE the great outcry about bribery and
- corruption in Delaware and the magnifyng
of the Townsend molehill into a mountain it seems
to be admitted even by Democrats that there will
be little effort at the coming election to corrupt
the suffrage.
These Democrats, some Of them, secretly hope
that few Republican fools will attempt TO cor
rupt the voters and thereby run the risk of going
to the workhouse so that the Democrats in future
campaigns may continue 10 howl about bribery
and explain their defeat by saying that the voters
we're bought.
The Democrats of course attribute the disinclin-
alton to use money at the election to fear on the
part of the Republicans and not to any hesitancy
because of other reasons to purchase voters. And
the Republicans il they wished TO reply in the
same manner, would say that the Democrats will
not money, not fer reasons Of public policy,
but merely because they have not the money 10
use
The history of the State4-the black page
shows however, that money was used by both
parties when they had it and it is mockery of
the truth TO say that only the Republicans have
been guilty of corrupting the suffrage. Persons
have short memories who think SO. They do not
recall the days Of the fierce fachonal lighting be-
tween the Saulsburys and the Wolcotts when
money and presents and rum we're means Of
influencing voters to line up with one faction or
the other at the primaries And the same instru-
ments we're used on election day
The Journal takes no pleasure in referring to
these matters of the past. Better that the book
we're closed We only mention them out of a
spirit of fairness in this campaign.
However the past may have been, let us look
TO the immediate future. The Democrats say that
they are not going TO use money. Let us take
sthem at their word. The Republican State Con-
venton and Chairman Mitchell of the Republican
State Committee have declared against the corrup-
ton of the suffrage. And so keen was Major
Mitchell in this matter that acting in behalf of
the State Committee he promptly resented any
effort to dstort some correspondence between Dr.
Grier and Colonel Townsend into placing the Re,
publican committee any leading Republicans
in the position of defending or countenancing the
illegal use Of money at the election.
If these Democrats who have showed so great an
interest in the matter we're really not striving for
partisan advantage they would commend the at
ttude of the State Committee and not question its
sincerity.
There may be in both parties some old timers
whose sense of perception is so bIunted that they
think they can buy votes with impunity, that po-
litica influence will shield them, that they will not
be running fearful risks of disgrace to themselves
and their families There are very few of them
in New Castle county But if there arc any num-
Der of them in either Of the counties they had
better take solemn warning and think before they
act. The sentiment of the people of the State
is against bribery. They want Delaware to be
clean political Delaware. And they are going
TO have it so.

Editorial Opinion
Julia Ward Howe.

Julia Ward Howe.
New York Globe
OF Julia Ward Howe it may be
truly said. not that she is dead, but
that she has lived No one Will sug-
gest a doubt as TO her membership in
George Eliot's Choir Invisible. Her
end Is no passing one, for she lives
as much as during any OF her ninety
years.
Can good come out Of Nazareth?
Julia Ward was born on the Battery
and lived in Bond street. Her fam
lily was one of the pliers Of the old
patrician New York She had ac-
quaintance with the delights o soft
living. But luxury means no deca-
dency, no sitting Of that sense of
brotherhood that is the soul Of de-
mocracy, no loss of the puritanism
which is the starch Of morality. Is
New York society" developing such
buds" now? II It is, It is we'll with
It; If not, it is ill.
Mrs. Howe was Of a generation that
was not ashamed to believe in causes.
She was not suppressed by the cheap
synicism that thinks it is liberal and
cosmopolitan, but is. in fact, spineless
and standardless. Sympathizing with
and assisting her husband in his work
OF great philanthropy, her mind
caught fire in the heat of the Civil
War period, and i'm a moment OF in
spiration the Battle Hymn of the Re
public" came from her. The lofty
verses recruited the armies and cas-
ed Lincoln's task. IL is the women,
after all, who are> the guardians and
makers OF the future. This they do,
though ballotless. AS long as this
America of our produces such women
as Julia Ward Howe we need not
fear

PASTOR ON CITY CHARTER.

n He REV. r. L. JACKSON, pastor OF Ham
u over PRESBYTERIAN Church. delivered a sensi-
bic sermon on Sunday evening in which he toueheu
on the needs of the city If the preachers ana otnef
public men showed the concern and interest ~ CIVIC
affairs that Mr. Jackson displayed VIC should have
a better Wilmington. The evils OF parusanshp IN
city government we're depicted by MT Jackson
who declared that multitudes Of men in Whining

a new form of city government They read ana
hear of changes in municipal government IN other
places and ask. Why not Wilmington The an
swer is not difficult II will be in Wilmington
when the people here aroused to the belief
that Wilmington is like big corporation and
that the people should get the worth OF their
money paid in taxes.
Mr. Jackson spoke of new cnarter which he
with others considers the first step towards an inn
proved Wilmington. Many thoughtful men of
both parties have reached that decision.
The question of a new city charter should not
be a partisan question, but II seems that the
Democrats are disposed TO make it such by their
failure to approve the suggestion for new char
ter The fact that the Democratic convention did
not touch on this subject is greatly be regretted,
for it makes the work Of the advocates Of new
city charter all the more difficult
No doubt many Democrats see the need of
charter and willingly support the movement for
one, but it is certain that unless they make their
views known, political manipulators and panhand-
lers will throttle the attempt TO get a new char.
ter Wilmington therefore will either go back
ward or stand still Il would seem that those who
wish new charter should support the Republican
candidates for the Legislature in this city for the
platform of the Dover Republican Convention
pledges them a new charter for Wilmington
The Journal is pleased TO notice that the Rev.
Mr.. Jackson has considered municipal matters.
More ministers should occasionally touch upon
them. Let there be an interchange of views Moth
