Senator Gordon on the Blabmouth.
New York Evening Sun.
Senator Gordon's address before the Sen
ate on Thursday contained many of the
plain words of a plain man. Among his
colleagues there was less laughter at the

for his simplicity of purpose and the quiet
dignity of his years.
Senator Gordon said he was tired of
sectionalism," and wanted to see Mason
and Dixon's line obliterated from the map
Of the United States II is reported that
Senator La Toilette busted himself in
taking notes OF the Rockefeller part OF
the old gentlemen's speech, and in laugh

that always want TO make a fuss, but
they are not even worth cussing.
They used to have the Objectionable Col.

But the Coloners day is over fortunately;

ME GoDWIN CASE.

HlS long connection with politics enabled
\ John Goodwin to make many friends per
sona and political Naturally they are much
distressed by the misfortune that has overtaken
him.
They exerted every influence they could COM
mand to keep him from going to the workhouse
We have believed their efforts were prompted
because of friendship for Goodwin and not from
fear of disclosures that Goodwin might make
concerning politics in this state.
These persons who have been legally fighting
for Goodwin believed that the sentence imposed
upon him was too severe-two years for an Of
Tense for which in the Sussex County
courts was sentenced TO pay fine Of $500 That
is, we believe all there is to the matter, but of
course the Democrats try to make it appear that
these people higher up are in mortal terror of
what Goodwin may say Now that Goodwin has
been landed in the worlhouse, he has met a fate
that should satisfy even his most relentless poll
teal enemies. for we doubt whether Goodwin even
though he has been charged with political
crookedness has any considerable number Of
personal enemies Goodwin has been his own
worst enemy.
lie seemed to have an idea that political nHu-
ence could save him under any and all crcum-
stances, and doubtless reached this opinion by
contemplating the slight punishment dealt out
to political offenders in the days gone by. But
that has passed, and conditions must be faced as
they are
Political influence in Delaware is an uncertain
thing to count on. 1t may save politician or It
may not. At any rate. man who is accused Of
violating the law and expects to get off through a
pull IS taking great chances.
The lesson in this affair is obvious. 1t should
be the last sweep of the broom in the house
cleaning of Delaware Every man in the re-
motest part of Sussex County must know of the
outcome of this case. 1t should be warning to
the politicians and to the hoaters, who have

DEMOCRATIC FUND.

II HE Democrats have been making much ado
4 about the $4,000 that was apportioned by
the Republican National Committee to Delaware
during the campaign but there seems to be no
way in which to find out how much the Demo-
cratic National Committee sent to this state.
When the Democratic Committee filed its state
ment with the Secretary of State of New York
it did not tell how the money had been appor-
toned, what each state received. The statement
therefore was not so clear as that of the Repub-
Leans.
The Democrats made hue and cry about the
collecting of campaign funds and about publicity
but they were not so frank as we're the Repub-
lcans telling about the distribution of the
money The Democrats may or may not have
had large sum, but they surely did have CON
siderable money and some of it must have come

POLICE AND POLITICS.

D URING the strike of the trolley men in
- Chester the Philadelphia newspapers
yere severe in their criticisms of the police force
ofSthe Delaware county metropolis, and now the
Chester Times is hitting back The Times
thinks the Philadelphia police have made no
better record for maintaining order than the
Chester police did. The Times remarks that no
police force can be efficient until it is removed
from partisan and political influences and the
patrolmen are made preservers of the peace in
stead of campaign door knob pullers.' The
police department should not be made the foot
ball of politics, says the Times
Regardless of the troubles in Philadelphia and
those which harassed Chester for so long time,
the view OF the Times is correct. 1t is unjust 20
policemen to make their positions depend upon
their political influence to make them subject TO
the whims Of every Tom, Dick or Harry who has
or thinks he has some political influence
The Chester department, the Times says has
been reorganized and some improvement has
been noted but it is still under the control of a
partisan city council The old method of APP
pointing policemen remains, says the Times, and
Will be a source of trouble until changed. If the
Times continues an agitation of the subject,
there will be a change in the manner of appointing
the police If Chester had some such system as
Wilmington has of controlling the police force,
we think there would be little cause for complaint
Our police force is not vet perfect by any
means but it is not comparable with the force
OF years ago, it IS so much better.

4 NLAwYERs AND POOR DEFENDANTS.

IN IN HE plan adopted in New York of having
=M lawyers of high standing represent clients
TO- NC criminal courts IS working successfully.
N f<elsome time there complaint that the
r1nal bar had fallen into disrepute that the
ters and tricksters were dominant. Reform
w femanded and the judges decided to assign
counsel OF the best repute TO represent defend
ants too poor to engage their own attorneys. AS
consequence some of these defendants have
been represented by attorneys who mad not been
IN a criminal court for years and whose service
could not have been secured for such practice
Tor any amount of money. The other day Mr.
Hornblower, an attorney once appointed to the
Supreme Court bench appeared as counsel in
small case.
The big lawyers have cordially ioined with
the court in carrying out the reform and willing
ly accept the assignments for the good of the
profession Among other things the new
method shows that the life OF the poorest and
most humble OF citizens before the law is equal
to that OF the richest and most influential In
other states there is not the distinction between
civil and criminal practice such has obtained
IN New York, and many OF the most noted attor-
neys OF the country have taken part in criminal
cases.
An effort is making in New York to return TO
the old traditions for it is the opinion among the
better class OF lawyers that the INSCRIPTIONS
have too long had their way.
In connection with this it s,nterestng TO
note that in of the progressive western cities
the position of public defender" has been
created. The public defender is appointed bv
the city and undertakes the defense of those too
poor to employ counsel The reason for the
creation of such office is that every person
accused Of crime has right to defense This
notion of public defender is likely to spread
What person familiar with the courts in our
own city has not seen some poor unfortunate be-
fore the court unable to secure counsel, attempt
ing to conduct his own defense while half a
dozen young lawyers sit about and look on in
stead of offering TO defend the accused a pro-
ceeding which would give them excellent prac-
~ fce and at ,he same time enable them to perform
A service for WHICH they would receive thanks if
not other compensation And often token Of
kindly appreciation something that is all too rare
