The Legislature

The Legislature
The legislature was fully orgar
lied at Dover on Monday last. w
should think from the long list c
officers which has been sworn il
business would go forward with
rush.
VI seems strange to the write
that men who are elected to fill re
sDonsible positions such as Senators
and Representatives and are sup
posed to guard the interests OF theil
constituents WELL are the first tC
help deplete the State treasury
AS the Republicans are in power
and organized both houses, whatever
goes amiss will be, as it should be
laid at their doors.
The appointing of so many Off
GERS whose services will not be
needed, will be a thorn in the side OF
those who advocated such a course,
and which they will be called upon
to defend throughout the session Of
the legislature.
The message OF Governor Buck
which was read before the lesisla
ture in joint session at Dover on
Monday, was full of constructive
ideas which the people at large
would like to see carried out.
The Governor in his message has
shown cOnclusively that he is deep
ly interested in the welfare of the
people of Delaware and has by his
able message suggested to the leg
islature those things which if en-
acted into law would make Della
ware a model State.
How the Governor will get along
with the present legislature is a
problem yet to be solved, but mem
bers of the dominant party started (
wrong, and it will take all the .
strength and power which the Gov
ernor can WELD, to keep these men
in the proper channel.
We hope the members of the leg
islature who owe allegiance to the
Democratic party will back the Gov
ernor in his crusade for reform. to
the limit and we believe they will.
The Democratic party has nothing
to lose in advocating reform, but has
everything to gain. The people will
sweep such men as are now bent on
depicting the funds of the State in
an underhand manner from the pO-
litical atmosphere and retire them
TO private life where they belong.
The writer thinks it was the late
President Cleveland in writing TO a ,
friend said at the close: "Remeinber
now have Congress on my hands" I
The sympathy of the good people I
of Delaware will go out to Cover !
nOr Buck, who certainly at the pres
ent time, has a legislature which he I
can hardly depend, on his hands. G
The writer from time to time may +
have comments to make on some of 7
the measures which are desired to c
become laws, which he will view +
from a nOn-partisan position, and il
will also be a strong supporter of .
he aims and purposes of Governor T

Poultry Thieves Around \
