JUVENILE COURT.

IN URING the last session of the Legislature
IL some good people of this city started an agi-
tation for a Juvenile Court Those familiar with
the conditions surrounding children in the city
have no doubt about the desirability of court OF
this kind After many ups and downs court was
finally created with no provision made for the
payment of judge.
No one has been particularly anxious to serve
as Judge. Finally the members of the Juvenile
Court Association recommended Mr.. Caleb Z. Bur
chenal of this city for the appointment and it is
understood that MF Burohenal is willing to accept
the place if it is offered him. But it has not yet
been rendered him.
The Governor seems to be anxious to appoint
some one who does not want the place. In fact
several gentlemen have declined The natural
thing il seems to us would be to name a man
that the association says IS qualified for the po-
sition
If Governor Pennewill hesitates to name Mr..
Burchenal judge because he is not a Republican
he would, however, have high precedent for ap-
pointing Mr. Burchenal the precedent CT the zion.
William n Tafts appointing Chief Justice White.
Perhaps the Governor has some other reason for
declining 10 name Mr. Burchenal but we think the
advice he has gotten from the Juvenile Court AS
socation is as good advice as he will get from
those who may have tried TO influence him TO de-
cline to name Mr. Burchenal.
The Governor has had his fingers burnt in Will
mington before and il now looks as if he we're in
clined to trile with fire.

Many Wilmingtonians rejoice in the prosperity
of Swarthmore College which has a strong hold
the affections of a number of them. The col
lege is moving forward in gratifying manner.
Through the efforts of the alumni and other
friends the sum of 100000 as an additional en-
dowment has been raised. The total endowment
now amounts to S,5OO00O. Swarthmore is fort
unate in having younger alumni, like Mr. Morris
L. Clothier and Senator Sproul of Chester who are
earnestly working in her behalf. The endowment
will greatly increase the usefulness of Swarth-
more. Think of what Delaware College could do
with such fund. The Grangers of New Castle
county have recently begun a movement for the
endowment of the institution at Newark And
may they have success.

they will be acting according to the wishes of
vast majority of the people of Delaware.

SOCIALISM IN BRISTOL.
IJournal and Courier.)

The first primaries under the new charter were held in Bristol yester- day, a Socialist candidate, George w. Hull, secured the largest number or votes and will therefore be one Of the nominees for mayor. The next high est candidate was John F. Wade, Democrat, and the talk is now that the Republicans and Democrats VIII combine and elect Wade.
 Bristol did not show and drift to- ward the Socialist party in the last state election when it cast but eighty eight votes for Hunter for governor, while in the primaries yesterday Hull obtained 84S or within 147 votes Of a. majority over all suggesting an in terest in local affairs that was absent in the last campaign. MT, Hull IS young man who made his canvass on the issue of a municipal water works. the people appeared to have agreed with him and showed their preference for him at the primaries. City own ership of all public utilities is one or the tenets of the Socialist doctrine and MT. Hull in his advocacy of Bris- tol controlling the water works IS simply proving his belief in the pr1n- ciples of his party, but aside from this he has also proven that he is live man with progressive ideas and that is what the people want. MT. Hull may not be elected mayor but wheth- CT he is or not he has thrown a scare into the Republicans and Democrats which will cause them to get up and hustle.

POLITICAL BRIBERY.

The Sherman bribery cases are in discussion during the progress of the trial. Whatever the facts may be about the guilt, or innocence of the accused, in these cases, it is true that vote buying is prevalent evil throughout Connecticut. It is an evil of long standing, which has grown up gradually, until it has reached large proportions. It is an offense outside the pale of the law, felony in fact, which is carried on with the more or less accurate knowledge and in political life. The offense is so common that it is taken for granted. It is doubtful if any man can run for office on ticket of one of the great parties without profting directly, or indirectly. by something of this kind. The thing goes on automatically. The funds with which the corruption is worked go automatically into the hands of those who use them for the purpose for which the money was in tended. These things are of common knowledge, just as men know the To- cation of certain house by reputation, though they have never actually en- tered such a place, nor seen it's in- terior.
 How far this corruption has ex- tended from the electorate upward, like the poisonous Upas tree, cannot certainly be known; never will cer- tainly be known.
 But the entire political system of Connecticut is permeated with the poison. Of this there is too much evil dence.
 There is the Easton scandal in the last election, in which affidavits were made of an attempt to buy delegates to the senatorial convention in the Twenty-fifth district. About the same

It is one of these things that is hard to understand.

HAS A SUSPICIOUS LOOK.

Bridgeport's rising third party seems to be rapidly losing its ardent crusading fervor, which gave it in Bridgeport a growth in excess of any, thing elsewhere attained in this state. Evidently the desire for power has had a sobering effect upon the young leaders of the new cause. Under the leadership of Robert Hunter in the state they did a useful work in the fall by exposing error wherever it ex- isted But the local campaign seems to be an ardent hunt for jobs. The entire energies of the campaigners are directed at Mayor Buckingham, because .'he is a good fellow and be- cause good fellows are good for noth- ing" This is the indictment drawn by the new movement candidate for city clerk. who although he touched upon the compensati tion act completely ignored the fact that the acknowledge GU xtSpuDIICdH l0du6TS Ol bIluScpOIl led the fight against the measure, as they did the fight against the utilities legislation. The energies of the little paper which is published weekly have also been worked hard on 'the good fellow issue," while what may be called the criminal isspes" have been ignored or overlooked.
 Does this gross denunciation of the, moderate offeHse of being a good fel- low'' so overweight the offense of the professional lobby as to merit pre- dominance, or is the inference to be drawn that ultra reform and the lob by have entered into a compact, by reason of which one party gives "si- lence" and the other "votes.'

period came the public scandal, and the public accusations growing out If the Congressional convention in the Second District. About the same time, or a little earlier, came the scandals over the manner in which cusations and counter accusations Democrats like Mayor Thayer, many times mayor of Norwich, have openly charged corruption, in letters that were criminally libelous did they not contain the truth. These letters were permitted to go unchallenged in any court.
 Senator Stiles Judson has openly added the weight of his views to con- firm the presence of corruption. Gov ernor Baldwin has treated the sub- ject in such manner as to leave no doubt whatever as to his views.
 A Yale professor, an influential re- spectable citizen, has gone from pro- secutor to prosecutor, alleging that the expense reports of prominent candidates. for office upon their face show corrupt practices. No prosecu- tor ever has taken up the gauntlet that Prof. Fox threw down. Is the conclusion not fairly to be drawn that these prosecutors feared to act be- cause of the universality of the thing complained of, and the danger that probe inserted anywhere into the could say who, aInong the wealthy, the important, the influential of the state?

OPPRESSIVE MOTOR LAWS.

Surely travel and commerce be- pered and burdened down with re- strictions than it is for travel by au- tomebile. No modern invention of re- cent years has done more for. the country than this. which brings with it good roads, and cheap transporta- ton within and between nearby com munities for freight and persons. The fafm is brought nearer to the city and life upon the farm made appre ciably more enjoyable in hundreds of thousands of instances Yet the leg islatures of the several states vie with each other to make oppressive legis- lation, and the burden of taxation is levied upon the theory that every man who drives a machine should be mulcted the limit. Connecticut has lately begun to liberalize it's law re- lating to motor vehicles, but the lib- eral spirit does not extend apparent ly over a great portion of New Eng land, since Massachusetts alone is willing to extend reciprocity to meet the Connecticut statute providing that the motorist. arrested for petty vio- lation, may leave his machine for bail, when desired, if it is of suffici- ent value.
 Secretary Rogers has corresponded with Rhode Island. Massachusetts. and iEPennsylvahia; EP but assurances of reciprocity with respect to this req sonable provision have been given only in Massachusetts.
