Fighting Against roisslsua Candy.

A fact which has been commented upon
recently is that there is an almost entire
absence of poisoning cases from adulterated
candy. which were so numerous in former
years. This evil at one time became so Sc
rious that an association was formed for
the distinct purpose of securing the passage
of special statutes in various states making
the adulteration of confectionery with any
substance injurious to health punishable
by heavy fine; and for several years lib
eral rewards have been offered by this asso-
citation, as well as by its individual mem
bers, for evidence against any offender
sufficient to obtain conviction under the
laws, the association assuming the cost
and responsibility of the prosecution.
In New York and Brooklyn there are a
large number Of firms, including all the
large manufacturers of confectionery, who
are pledged to the prosecution of all offend
ers against the special statutes passed by
the legislature on this subject, and by APP
plication to member Of the association
any suspected confectionery can at once be
analysed free Of charge.-New York Com

Artist Albert Berstadt has recently been
visiting his old haunts in the Rocky
mountains. He first crossed the plains in

east, and it was then that he made the first
sketches for the paintings of western

spent thirty years time and made several

SHOULD CHANGE PLACES.

The editor Of the Morning News was
never any more in touch with the
thought and sentiment Of the people
than he is now in writing alleged criti-
cisms on the decision and order Of the
chancellor in the 1000 negro delinquent
case. BE has always managed to be at
Ocean Grove or in the clouds Of partisan
ship, or anywhere else but with the
people when there WAS any vital local
question under discussion. He Is absent
now and thinks he is reviewing the de-
cision for the benefit Of the readers Of
the News, when in fact he is raklng the
archives Of ancient history to discover
arguments which we're too puerile to be
used by E. g. Bradford, the attorney in
the case.
Mr.. Bradford either did his duty or
he did not. II he did his duty he used
all of the arguments which were gsrmane
to the case before the chancellor; IL he
did not do that then there is some
reason why the News should review his
work and show him how
and where he erred and how
the chancellor would have been
compelled to make different decision II
the edi.or Of the News could have put in
his brief. But If Bradford did not do bis
duty, the editor should tell him privately
and show him kindly wherein he erred.
He should not publish his failure to the
world and cause Mr.. Bradford to lose his
/ practice
There is some evidence that Sperry
and Bradford should change places

superior stock of legal knowledge to that

SIT STEADY IN THE BOAT.
Some OF our Farmers Alliance friends
who still claim to be Democrats object 10
the ridicule with which the EVENING
JOURNAL treats their new political move
ment
In Delaware there are only two par
ties; the men who are neither Demo
Gratis nor Republicans are rovers Rovers
never accomplish anything.
There has never been an Independent
movement in Delaware which was not
started slyly by Republicans or did not
result in Republican advantage.
In Kent county the movement put
Senator Higgins in the Emitted States
Senate; in this county the several move
ments resulted in the Harrington ad-
ministration, which the Republicans
themselves have just repudiated; in the
Republican Levy Court, who are set Of
ignorant and partisan dolts under the
leadership of political ring; in the
Wiley administration, which has given
this city strictly partisan police force,
the duties OF which will appear at the
next election
Not one Of these movements, every one
Of which was partially supported by row
INK and impractical Democrats, has re
suited ia reform or accomplished any
good thing whatever. The only justif
cation Of their rowing, which some Of these
Democrats have urged. is that some Dem
ocrats we're as bad as the Republicans; !;
that both parties contain corrupt men.
That is true; but there is great diff
ference In the manner In which the two
parties treat corruption. The Republi-
can party keeps its corruption on top and
puts it in command, because the princi-
pies of the party are vicious. avaricious,
greedy; 1t is the party Of liberal pen
sions, OF subsidies, Of robber tariffs, Of
the "busted" surplus.
The Democratic party hides and puts
down its base elements, so far as 1t is
possible for political party to put down
the political workers.
Thus to give object lessons the only
man who represents this state abroad is
little man, who carried money to bribe
votes in Sussex county; the head and
front Of the party, in this city. is man
who was brlbed with 5000 to write edi-
torials against his own party's candidate
in favor of the candidate of the opposite
party The men about these two, also
at the top, are Of the same class.
Thus as there is no sense, so there is
no good result in opposing the Demo
cratic principles with bad Republica
candidates. The result is just the same
as ha Democrat should vote the Republi-
can ticket.
The Republican party in this state is
not a reform party; its history is that Of
corrupt party; its use of
the negro vote and its elevation OF the
men who are now its leaders prove that
it Is corrupt.
Hence we rldicule the Farmers Ali
snce movement, because 1t It is a move
ment against economy and reform IN the
interest Of Republieanism which is the
antithesis Of economy and reform.

THERE is a sudden eruption In the Re

and Dudley. but it first accepted the
Offices which those worthless stole. The
charac .ers Of these gentlemen were as
well known before the election of 1888.
when they sat as officers in the National
Executive Board, as they are known
now. This sudden display of virtue Is
not virtue, because II would have ex-
erted itself seven years ago when the
Philadelphia Press, a stsunch Republi-
can paper then and now. with other re-
spectacle papers asserted that Quay was
dishonest and corrupt, and Of
fered as proof his record in the
treasury of Pennsylvania. 1t is only
mock viltu because Headsman Clsrkson,
who is made chairman Of ths National
Executive Board, is no better than Quay.
because he approved Of and assisted Quay
and Dudley in doing ali that they did. II
Quay and Dudley we're not in disrepute

incurred the same infamy under which
they rest and the additional infamy Of
being the man who turned out $4,000
