we feel inclined 10 remark that there are
other men in the Republican party more
mature in age, in party service and IN
political and official experience than Hor-
ace Greeley Knowles, we must check our
selves with the remembrance that these
men, though mature and honorable and
great. did not secure the last thousand
dollars that broke the cameps back and
gave Sussex TO the Republicans and the
United States Senatorship TO Anthony
Higgins. If we are forced TO the
reflection that there are hun
dreds Of other men better fitted
for the position and more de-
serving as politicians, in the sense that
that term used to be understood, than
Horace Greeley Knowles, we must call TO
mind the fact that these men cannot
show a receipt for one thousand dollars
from the holder of the Sussex comfy cor
ruption fund. Horace Greeley is a clever
fellow of course, but the one thing that
raised him above his fellows and brought
him into notice and blazoned his name in
the papers and gave bim front seat In
the synagogue OF the boodlers, was the
fact that be went to Philadelphia after
the last Thousand dollars that was poured
into Sussex In the memorable campaign
OF 1888 Age, experience, talent and
genius take back seat in the presence
Of the renowned prophet OF Doodle. To
have touched and handled the magic fund
that corrupted old Sussex is sufficient to
glorify Horace In the party that won its

WE publish number of extracts from
the papers Of the Peninsula to show the
drift of opinion on the appointment OF
Horace Greeley Knowles. There is no
difference Of opinion in regard TO his
youth, freshness and lack Of experience
They all concede his amiability and
energy. but all admit that he was ap.
pointed not for those good qualities,
not for anything commendable whatever,
but simply because he collected the fund
that was used to work Sussex county.
There is no escape from that. The
friendly papers-and they are all friendly
with the exception Of few Republican
papers-have very kindly words for Mr.
Knowles personally. But the distinction
that he has won in his party, over wiser
. and older men, is so evidently based on that
one shameful and disgraceful Doodle epi-
sode that it is impossible to evade the
conclusion that his appointment would
not have come but for that Philadelphia
Sussex journey. Taking larger view
there is no escape from the prevailing
impression that Republicanism Of to day
is constantly descending the grade Of
moral obliquity by the easy routes Of
protectionism, subsidy, unmerited pen
sions and Doodle to the noxious level Of 4
rich mans party. where money is all
powerful, and honesty ability and pa
triotism are unrecognized and unknown

is only an item in the general indict

To the Editor OF EVENING JOURNAL.
This mornings News says that a
chicken thief was snot by an officer
named Hahn OF the city police force. A
man was apprehended, but not arrested
nor was there any attempt TO arrest him,
when he was in easy grasp Of this officer
at least he was close enough 20 him to
raise the paper in his basket and see the
contents what they consisted Of When
the man ran away the officer fred four
shots from his hip battey at this fleeing
man, two of which took effect in the
mans hip, and have probably lamed him
for life The questions arising are (;
Was the officer justifable ION the sus-
picion aroused in his mind by the action
of the supposed thief in shooting himl
also by what authority did officer Hahn
use his weapon, as the statement clearly
shows that the supposed thief was known
to him (the oticer) and could have been
apprehended at any time, providing in
formation Of theft had been lodged with
the authorities. We hold that the rsck-
less aud unwarranted use of revolver in
the hand Of police officer, who, without
the slightest proof Of guilt and the mere
assumption on his part that the party
apprehended is guilty Of some crime is
dangerous. For no officer can be justi-
fed In shooting person on mere suspic-
ion in fact the law lays down the broad
principle that an officer is justified only
in using his revolver in extreme cases
and where some heineous crime has been
committed and the party arrested is at
tempting to escape; in this instance nc
arrest was made nor was the crime sup
posed to be committed OF that character
that would justify an officer in shooting
This case demands careful investigation
and II IL Is proven that Hahn used his re-
volver in an unwarranted and reckless
manner his dismissal from the force anc
arrest, trial and conviction before th,
Court Of General Sessions. The peopl,
Of this community may as we'll know nov
that the precedent set before a certain
class Of the people by the authorities
will have one day an awful termination
that people unjustly imposed on can
not endure their oppression longer thar
their patience cease TO act as their guild
ing star in the path Of right when thet
patience shall become exhausted anS
when driven to the wall by the hand tha
should protect them, that class OF tn,
people will turn and visit awful retri
button on their opprnssors; until then W,

WE publish letter from colored
man claiming that Police officer Hahn
was hasty, reckless and unjustihable in
shooting the alleged chicken thief.
In conversation the colored man stated
that Mayor Harrington's admins
tration and the police authorities
have exercised harsh and uni
versal determinations against the
colored people Taking this statement.
4he Presidents interview, in which he
said that he would not like to see negroes
in various Offices in indianapolis, and the
treatment the colored people are receiving
at Asbury Park as indications, it seems
that the Republicans are not quite equal
in practice to their professions Of love
for the colored race.

Breakwater Light,
The appointment Of Horace Greeley
Knowles as United States Consul to Bor-
deaux, France, to succeed George w.
Roosevelt, one OF the most experienced
members Of the consular service, would
be high compliment to any one, but IL
is the more so in being given to the
young Delawarean who is thus honored.
Mr.. Knowles Is well-known throughout
his active state as a man of exemplary
habits and one against whom not word
OF reproach can be truthfully uttered
He has shown by his pluck and persever-
Rnce that he is entitled TO the reusue that
his party has conferred upon him. The
fact that he is still young should not
weigh against him. The
part that Mr. Knowles took in the cam.
paign Of 1888 in this state was nothing
which he has reason to regret, and those
who object to his youth and inexparience
could do no better than TO withhold their
criticism until he has shown conclusively
his fitness or his unftness to represent
this country in foreign land.
