SIGNS OF uNREsT.

7 JUDGING by various comments in some of our
state papers there is a feeling Of unrest with
political conditions in Delaware an unrest not con-
fined to either party. There is an under current
OF thought that the political leaders have not kept
up with the march of progress The Dover Index
mentions the apathy of Delawareans, and says
that il can he changed into a keen and active
interest in political matters if they are
presented with men and with issues TO evoke such
an interest The Index oontinues The old days
are past when partsanship was so strong that
the mere name Of political party was sufficient to
awaken the interest of the voters. The politician
is the one who is ultraconservative. He continues
on the same old lines and then finds fault with
the people because they are Indifferent to his hol-
low appeals. If the politician will only awake
himself he will find that the people arc merely
waiting for chance for registering their approval
OF honest and sincere reform"
The Dover Sentinel agrees with what The Index
says on these points, and it strikes The Journal
that they are in line with what we have frequently
SAID II IS certainly true that so-called issues dur
ing recent years have aroused little enthusiasm
among the voters They have usually cast their
paiots according to their past party affiliations and
nave paid little attention TO the issues" set forth
because they have not seen very much in those IS
sues. There is no good reason why Delaware
should not be model in governments why such
legislation as has been found advantageous in
''neI stateS cannot be enacted in Delaware II
seens 10 us that the leaders have not kept pace
win the march and doubt very much whether
they represent the prevailing thought of the voters.
The last Republican state platform we think
was more progressive than that Of the Democrats.
out there was not great difference And vet nat
urally II would be expected that the Democratic
platform would be advanced
In the history Of Delaware, certainly during
recent years the Republicans have led in progress
sve measures. BY such we do not mean what
are called radical measures such as find vogue in
the far west
However when this subject is considered, we
do not care to discuss the partisan phase of it fur
ther We do mean TO say however. that if a sincere
desire possessed the leaders of both parties we
should have an improved Delaware, politically
speaking and each party would try to outdo the
other IN giving the people the best kind of legsla-
ton and the best kind of candidates. All such
discussion in trying to learn exactly where we are
is helpful
