WHO COR THE MONEY!

y REPRESENTATIVES. Of the Gold Demo-
N cratic element in this city arc viewing
with i-concealed alarm the startling statement
of the Sunday Star regarding a corruption fund
of $4,000 which the Star. says was sent here
during the campaign of 1896 for the purpose Of
Turing votes from. the regular Democratic can
didate for President, An attempt IS making to
pool-pooh the story.
1t is said that the man who is reported TO
have carried the satche containing $4,000 for
the Gold Democrats died several years ago and
that his testimony about the matter is not avail
able. In other words, he is not here to support
the statement of the Star. For our part we do
not think such substantation is necessary, for
we should, without hesitation, accept the state
ment of the Star The comment about the matter
shows that it was known to others besides the
editor OF the STAR that some emissary of the
Gold Democrats had been here presumably with
money, and this, it seems to us, goes a great way
toward substantiating the statement of the Star,
If further evidence were needed
AS we take it, the Star at present is unable 70
prove beyond cav who received the money but
it has no doubt that the money was delivered to
some one 1t is still pegging away trying to
learn who got the money and what became of it.
The complete story, the Star ntimates, would
be mighty interesting reading, but as everyone
knows in matters of this kind it is difficult to
trace the disposal OF money contributed for
political purposes.
The important point at present is whether the
Gold Democrats having once made use of a fund
VIII hesitate to do SO again. So the pertinent
question is who got the money and how was it
expended! Those critics who have been charg-
ing the Republicans with using money illegally
should be as eager TO prevent the Gold Demo
Gratis IRON using it. And this is evidently the
purpose OF the Star, if not of some others.

HONOR WASHINGTON

The Father of His Country was hon
ored in n birthday reception yester-
day afternoon. by the beginners and
primary departments of Harrison
Street M. Z. Sunday school. Ex-Presi-
dent and Mrs. Washington were pic
torially present and their immediate
neighborhood was draped with flags to
assure them that it was America If it
did look different from America in the
seventeen hundreds. Any doubts they
may have entertained were completely
dispelled when the little folks radiantly
recited patriotic speeches and sang
patriotic songs.
What must have been most affecting
to Mr. Washington was the presenta-
tion Of the cherry tree scene. Elbert
Grinenburg. as George. really chopped
down the tree, and his papa. Albert
HaddocS, promptly appeared and repri-
manded the reckless boy. The exercises
were under the direction of Mrs Ell

There is a wall of distress among the seekers
after political positions in New Jersey. The
Legislature of that state is considering the
enactment of law providing that no one shall
be employed in the minor Offices Of either branch
of the Legislature unless he is qualified to per-
form the duties assigned him. A young man
was recently appointed a stenographer Of the
Legislature. It was learned after his appoint
ment that he cannot operate a typewriter and
knows nothing of shorthand. AS consequence,
one man does all the work and the other fellow
answers roll call and draws a good salary. This,
some of the legislators think is rewarding the
faithful too well. But the legislators might
avoid this by creating commission of some
sort and placing the stenographer in charge, or
he might assist in codifying the laws as New
Jersey has unlimited money for that work.

The Democrats have been violent in their at
tacks on the Sussex Levy Court and had hoped
to hold up the Kent Court in striking contrast
with the Sussex bodybut we do not see that they

Court is out of the slough of petty partisan
politics and until the Courts change their tactics
both parties will be subjected to criticism.
The Sussex Levy Court by its refusal prompt
ly to elect road engineer, lost an opportunity to
take forward step that would have pleased the
progressive people of that county.
If the Democrats have so far failed to make
good showing with the Kent Levy Court
the same may be said of the Democratic City
Council of Wilmington.
