LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

Addioks's Bribe-A Bold High-handed
scheme to Destroy the Industries.
To the Editor Of EVENING JOURNAL.
SIR: The most absurd and preposter-
Gus measures is now before the Legisla-
ture in the shape of the Addicks finan-
cial bill.
That II will pass this body no one can
for moment anticipate, for certainly
the men we have elected to represent US
have the good Of the people at heart and
will refuse to continue such a foolish
measure. What the man means by intro
ducing such a bold and high handed
scheme to destroy the industries of our
state, can not see. He must take us all
for fools or idiots surely. The bill gives
the incorporators the power to do any
business but that Of railroading and
banking.
Mr. Addicks claims to be Republican
and protectionist-s0 does the party.
but is this protection2 On the other
hand. our business men would have to
suffer; for the men in this bill can do any
kind of business wherever they please,
and whenever they desire Is this pro
tecting our people? Would voting for
this bill represent the wishes of the peo-
pie of our statei Certainly not. Instead
of benefting us, il gives them the high
est privilege that could possibly be
bestowed And why, sir, should we
allow those men who have penty of
money to receive q charter that would
interfere with all classes and conditions
of our peopleY Surely, if this bill passes,
the members will regret their act and the
people will remember them in the future.
have talked with orr lawyers and
they contend that the idea of its passage
is too absurd TO even think of, let alone
its becoming reality. II Mr.. Addicks
and his friends want to do q legitimate
business let them specify what it is, and
have some bounds and restrictions about
1t. Not a rowing bill like the present
one. Another great objection is that 1t
gives the company power to change it's
name at any time Sir, Is not this. to
say the least, impertinence? Suppose
the company should incur heavy liabili
ties, and the next day change its name
where would the assets of the
last named company come from 7
some may say these gentlemen are too
honorable to do such thing. If honor
and principle be the mark, then why did
such a bill ever come before the people.
| 1t is an insult to the people Of this state
and we will see to 1t that our history
shall not be blurred by such a selfish
scheme. Let every reader Of this article
send TO his representative for the bill,
read it and express his opinion Let us
show these men that we of Delaware are
no born fools that the interests of our
people can be trodden upon by the desires
and scheming devices of men who are
not even residents OF our little state. No
sir They all reside out OF 1t and should
be kept out Of it II this bill is sample
of their interests for us. Let every true
Delawarean do his duty, not only to his
neighbor, but to himself and oppose the

A wild Engine.

One Of the most unique and fortunate ac-
cidents evrr recorded happened at the Cleve-
land, Lorraine and Wheeling railroad, Just
over the river. The yard engine was left on
the track with steam up, while the crew went
to dinner. In some unknown way, it is sup
posed by the tampering of small boys, the
trottle was opened just as a passenger train
passed and the switch was thrown open. The
engine quickly acquired momentum until it
was dashing at speed Of sixty miles an hour
over the crooked tracks for the most part
built on high trestles. Over the river it
whizzed past the astonished people along the
limo clear to Bellaire, five miles from the
starting point, where it crashed into long
train of freight cars heavily laden with coke
The engine was demolished and it rained
coke for rods in all directions, the train being
broken into atoms. By the merest accident
nobody was hurt, but tho money loss was
heavy. Wheeling Cor St. Louis Republic.

SINCE the so.called victory for the pro-

been reduced in almost every prominent
protected branch Of trade. An agree
ment has just been effected among the
iron men of Birdsboro, Pottstown, Read

bring puddlers wages down to So and

many years, and all other employees will
be reduced from to 10 per cent The

THE PATRIOTS DUTY.

This is government Of parties. II is
difficult to conceive how our form of gov
eminent could be run on any other plan
than by parties.
There are now two great parties Of al
most equal strength. The rivalry be-
tween them is intense and the align
ment is so rigid that every man must be-
long to one or the other Mugwumpism
is dead It's chief sachems have gone
into the Democratic party, while the half.
breeds stole into the Republican party
just in time to assist their pet aversion
Blaine-into power again.
In Delaware there are two parties
divided on the national issues It is
true that Every Evening hourishes a
toy tomahawk and tries to keep up the
mugwump tribe but II usually dances
alone and plays it's own fiddle. Practi-
cally every man who Is not Democrat is
Republican, here, as elsewhere; so that
all candidates for office are put up by
one or the other of the two parties, and
all candidates expect, and pracui-
cally obtain, their partys strength.
In this state Of things. especi.
ally since the recent disaster, it is
very necessary to close the party ranks
and preserve absolute harmony. To do
that it is requisite for every man to con
slider himself zone Of the boys in the
trenches He must not stand off and
criticise the efforts of the boys to whip
the enemy. With strong glass such a
critic can stand ON hill far away and
count every bad shot. But the criticism
no matter how just, will not assist the
boys to whip the enemy
II the sneering critic was down in
the trenches himself he would not have
time to count bad shots and in fact there
would not be so many TO count.
When a man takes an active part in a
campaign he is rot disposed to do so
much grumbling. He knows better why
and how defeat comes and he feels that
he has done his duty and that his neigh
Dor has been equally faithful If he has
assisted in choosing the leader Of the
campaign, though perhaps the leader
may not be his first choice. he is not dis
posed to sulk in his tent and shirk his
duty.
Under the present system it is the duty
Of every man to do his part in the con
vention first. and then. accepting this
decision, TO do his duty at the POLLS
At present, when there is no election
pending, every man is willing to confess
that harmony is absolutely requisite t
success Every man should do his duty
in contributing to that harmony BY de
claring that he holds principle dearer thar
men; that he win adhere to his party
that he win eschew mugwumpry as h,

A New floating Fort.

Admiral Akamatsu, of the japanese navy,
has invented new floating fort for coast de-
Tense. This fort is to be built on a kind Of
vessel made Of steel and i5O feet in length.
The armor is to be u inches thick, and the
bridge win be specially protected with steel
bulwark of 3 inches. 1t is to have double
screw and engines Of 200 horse power, capa-
bic Of attaining a speed Of three miles an
hour. On the first bridge will be placed
twelve Is centimetre cannon, and on the sec
ond eight 20 centimetre. The crew viii num-

THE Morning News in its zeal to con-
denim everything Democratic loses its
Judgment. In an editorial Of the Goth
instant the News declared Of the Della
ware, Maryland and Virginia railroad
mortgages: "This sum Of $500. 600 is not
a quick asset. BY the last report OF the
state treasurer the income from this source
is scheduled at So, coo for the last cur
rent year. That seems to be pretty quick.
OF the mortgage it may be said that there
are two properties under this head and
that the state would not suffer loss If the
Delaware, Maryland and Virginia rail
road should default and release them
There is an old debt against the property
which may not be collected, but the
property itself, which pays $24, 600. is
certainly as quick an asset as the News
could ever expect to find.
