SNAIL LreTsLArIvE BUSINESS.

THERE was a time when the Delaware Legislature
scandalIzed by the fact that It maintained
divorce mill that had become nationally notorious.
When the constitution was framed the power to
grant divorces was taken from the Legislature ana
vested IN courts. Since then there has been
no dsorce-mill scandal.
IN view Of certain occurrences at Dover this ses-
son think it would be we'll for the members Of the
Legislature to diTest themselves Of the power to
change the OF persons and pass that function,
too the civil courts It is not Inspiring to see nifty
two Senators and Representatives bothered By the
question whether the Christian names OF little boy
shall remain what they or changed TO suit the
whim of os the parents OF the child Nor does II
look well TO have such application made the basis
Of sensational stories, broadcast the country
recltng the story OF the domestic nfecities OF the
parents Of the little boy and dragging into public print
IN an unpleasant way the OF several Of Della
wares distinguished families
we understand that four or hve lawyers In
Dover working this child-name bill, some Of them
mporuning the Legislators to pass It and others be-
seeshlHs them defeat it. That does not lcok par
teularls good in the public eye, and causing State
wide and adverse comment
We Think most persons in the state are Of opinion
the Senators and Representatives were not sent TO
Dover to snend their valuable time interfering
In domestic quarres, especially when the person most
directly interested chances to be an innocent school
boy who scarcely is old enough to realize that the
legislative department a sovereign State has been
appealed to to make itself party TO the unhappy
relations that exist between his parents Il is rather
small work for Legislature to be asked to do and
II seems 20 us that it would be better for the legis
lators to devote themselves to matters important
and disnned and which do not SAVIOR of legislative
action against woman and a boy. The question Of
changing the name OF child should be thrown into
tribunal where IT be settled by cold legal process
and with full justice to all concerned, Including due
regard for the conservation Of the interests OF the
child Such should not be tried in the hurly-
bury OF q legislative session, nor is Il IN which
q lobby no matter how well how poorly It may be
paid, should be permitted TO figure There some
things that are too sacred for lobby to touch and
the name Of a defenseless child is one OF them.

DEMOCRATS ACOEPr REPUBLICAN BlIL.

A CCEPTANCE by the Democratic House Of Repre-
sentatives OF the smpihed ballot bill and voters
assistant law repeater prepared under tho direction Of
The Republican State Committee and introduced by
Senator Ewing was a sensible thing for Il to do It
is true that the House made a few amendments TO
the Senate BILL but they OF such trivial nature
shat the Republicans made serious objection to
them.
A soon they have been concurred IN by tho
Benate the bill will be Governor Miller for his
approval. Il Is not spprehended that there will be any
delay there, as Governor Miller made pledge before
The election that II the Legislature would pass a sim
pned ballot law suited TO the peculiar electoral needs
o this State he would approve Il and With Il repeal
Of the Voters Assistant Law. The bin seemingly meets
Tho hnte-electon pledges made BY The Governor. II
also bears the stamp Of tho approval both the Re-
puhcans and tho Democrats and cannot be classcd,
by any stretch Of the imagination partisan measure
Therefore. within fow days after Il has been sent to
The executive chamber Il doubtless viii receive tho
approval Of tho Governor and become law.
We understand that Speaker Holcomb. Democrat
had much 70 do with lining up the Democratic Repre-
sentstyes IN favor Of tho Republican measure II that
be true, we co~-lsiplsts him upon having sunk his
rerilsanshlp saf forV nus part toward giving to tho
voters Of the stata ballot law that should operat,
10 The satisfaction OF everyone except corruptionist
and their employers and hackers.
