The Dover Sentinel has been betrayed
into the grave error Of praising Speaker
Reed and condemning the minority in the
same paragraph for the same thing.
The Sentinel adheres to a party that Is
without principle but held together sim
ply and solely by the cohesive power Of
Doodle as represented by protection, pen
sions, subsidies and the spells Of office.
Il is easy for the advocates of such
political aggregation to defend and praise
men for actions which cannot be con-
doned on any principle Of ethics-for
actions not warranted for any other reason
than that the exigencies Of the party
demanded them Having no fixed prin-
ciple but greed, the advocates of the
party, Of once great moral ideas, easily
fall into the habit Of justifying any
means, no matter how bad, to gain their
end Under this influence the Sentinel
says of Speaker Reed
He has shown splendid qualities Of
leadership, GOODNESS, spirit, tenacity,
alertness, self-restraint and marvellous
powers Of attack. In the victory he has
won the country takes great satisfaction.
From that victory 1t will obtain results
most beneficial.
Speaker Reed is not expected TO lead
his faction when chosen as the presiding
officer Of deliberative body. Mckinley
should have done that. He was chosen
to enforce the rules, TO decide impair
italy between the members and to pro
tect the rights OF the minority.
II as minority, Of one man, he
usurps authority and forces legislation
he commits a graver offense than any
other minority could commit by retard-
ing legislation. BY remaining in thu
Speakers chair aud retaining at the sam'
time the leadership OF his partisan fac
ton on the door, Mr.. Reed shows mar
vellous powers Of attack" and a mar
vellous misconception Of the duties Of
presiding officer.
If he has won victory he has wo
1t in spite Of precedent, fairness and jus
tlce to the minority almost equal i
numbers 10 the majority, equally repre-
sentative of the wishes of the people an
equally capable of transacting the bus
ness Of the country.
It is not a question whether or not Ii
majority should rule, that is granted
but whether the majority should ru
without law and precedent and eve
when all the members of the majorii
r are not In their seats.
II is grave error to justify Reeds bs
0 means granting even that he has accom-
+, plished good result, which is not tru
Why could he not have accomplish
! the same result by legal means, by ia
: meansg
n For that reason alone Speaker Rec
it should be condemned. He has pre- ferr,
u violent means when protesting to have
majority to accomplish his purpose
v fair means.

Wilmington all Right-Atlantie Associa-
tion Points.
The report that Wilmington was to be
dropped from the Atlantic Association.
was denied by President Braden Of the
association by telegraph this morning.
The rumor was started from Providence,
where a meeting Of base ball men was
held on Saturday night, by
the statement OF Manager Barnie Of
Baltimore that Washington would be in
the association, which left the inference
that Wilmington would be dropped. The
local club has paid its guarantee and en-
tiance money. and the association could
not drop it very easily, even If it desired
to do 50.
p l.. Jacobs has been signed by the
local management. The contracts OF
Edward Williams, catcher; John Cox,
pitcher; Frank Mclaughlin, second
baseman, and John Millman, left fielder,

II is manifestly wrong to put such
power in the hands Of Speaker Reed. II

administered by an impartial speaker
Speaker Reed is an intense partisan. He
has shown a willingness to stultify his
own record for partisan advantage.
When parties in Congress are SO evenly
divided as at present, such man a
Carlisle. who viii make judicions and
fair rulings is needed, not a bully, an
intense partisan, like Reed, who will
make partisan rulings. The business Of
the country is to be conducted by the
majority with the consent Of the min
GRITTY. It is not presumed that the major
ity can be so absolutely right that the
minority has no right to impede or even
stop certain legislation. If such a large
party in Congress is opposed to. legisla-
tion it may be taken for granted that
large party in the country is opposed to
the legislation. That makes It doubtful.
If the legislation is doubtful then par
