Interesting Lecture by Hon. Carroll ID.
Wright Last Evening.
Hon. Carroll ID. Wright lecturcd at All
Souls Unitarian Church on "War Gods
Missionary" to fair-sized audience last
night. He proposed to examine the effect
of war upon mankind and pictured the
movement of the strong race that after
ward peopled Europe from their earlier
home In Asia. Tribe after tribe of Indians
went down before thcm first the Atlantic
Coast tribes, then the tribes west of the
Alleghenics, then those beyond the Mis-
sissippi. Everywhere there was this re-
sistlcss march of the white man. II was
war, barbaric war, that had given the
world enlightenment.
The speaker then spoke of the effects of
war ON individuals and peoples, effects
noted in the personal experience of people
now living. When the late war ended q
great army of men had come back, laid
down their arms and quietly resumed
peaceful pursuits in spite of predictions
and the fears of the people that the COM
ing of peace would bring great danger
from such an army.
Colonel Wrights lecture teemed with
eloquent description, and he received the
undivided attention of his audience.

twenty per cent more freight than the
law allows. Certainly there is some
peach shipper on The Peninsula who

UNronrUNArE statements made b

UNFORTUNATE statements made by
some of the Delaware papers in regard
to the present peach crop have kept
away many Of the buyers who usually
come to this section to buy peaches.
This has done much to injlre the pros
poets Of successful season when the
growers have q tremendous crop Of
fine fruit to sell. When an epidemic
of smallpox prevails in Philadelphia,
the merchants Of that city do not take
particular pains to advertise the fact
because it would hurt their business,
but the instant a disease appears
among the peach trees Delaware
papers publish the fact in such an ex-
aggerated form that the people who
would otherwise come here to buy
stay at home because they are afraid
the crop Is so much injured that no
money will be made, and no advsn-
tages secured by those who come here
to deal in peaches. 1t is stated by a
gentleman who is thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the details of the business that
the present crop is an excellent one,
though not quite up to the estimate
in quantity.
All this hue and cry about premature
peaches and diseased trees is more or
less Of farce, and hAs done much to
lessen the profit Of the grower. There
are plenty of good peaches and they
are now going to market.

the postmaster, one the United States
Marshall, one private and con-
fidential Secretary to Senator Higgins
and two renegade county officials plot
ting to place the State Of Delaware
under the control of the three first
mentioned of the gang. Mr.. Bach has
risen to the dictatorship Of Republi-
can politics in this State. and yet he is
unable to say that he did not sell his
manhood and the influence Of news
paper for two hundred dollars. Mr..
Mahaffy is the man who made small
section of worthless marsh do such
good service for his party.
Mr.. Stewart is the man who defied
the law which he is sworn to uphold,
even within the walls Of a federal
building. The other two are the men
who sold tax receipts belonging to the
county, and then failed to account
for the money. Can such men be al
lowed to shape the political course of
intelligent people ? Can they even be
allowed to retain the offices, the duties
of which they are sworn to fulfill, and
which they unhesitatingly ignore.
These are serious questions and the
respectable people of Delaware are the
ones to solve them. The positions
which Bach, the private and confiden-
tial Secretary of Senator Higgins occu-
pies to-day in Delaware politics is
owing entirely to Republican method
and is disgrace to the better class Of
Republicans. How much interest has
Bach in Delaware outside of what he
can make out of politics ? How long
would he stay here if there were no
political jobs of paying quality to be
attended to ? The people of the two
lower counties are able to take care Of
themselves, but are the people of New
Castle county able to keep out of the
clutches of a party headed by Mr..
Bach ? We have no desire to cast
any reflection upon the many honest
Republicans who are influenced by the
past history of their party and who
cling 20 it for that reason, but is it
right for those honest men to give up
to the tender mercies Of Mr.. Bach
and his gang, the government of a
rich and populous county?
