SPEAKING to a lot of enthusiastic col.
lege men with nearly all the members of
the faculty of Yale on the stage, Wayne
MacVeagh said 1--WE have been en-
couraging this system of political cor.
ruption and bounties for years by the
pernicious protective tariff Mr. Car
negie has, lit is said, contributed 800, 900
to buy votes to enable him to enjoy the
fruits Of this system four years more. If
he has not done 80 l am ashamed Of him.
He ought to- He would only be putting
out 10 per cent. for a year anyway. Some
college professors are suspending the
multiplication table till after election
and are trying to believe that two and
two make FIVE. Others, though, won't
admit that. will state that If college
professor will only say after morning
prayers, on three consecutive days, two
and two make four, on the third day he
win go off and vote for Grover Cleve-

EVERY laboring man in this country
knows from his actual personal expes-
ience that while the Mckinley bin does
not increase the money he takes in il
does increase the amount he pays out.
Every laboring man knows that the
tariff cannot and does not add one cent
TO the amount Of his wages, while il re-
duces their purchasing power in the
markets where he is compelled 10 buy
the supplies for himself and his family
Senator Carlisle in New York.
Nobody knows the truth of those
assertions better than the wage
earners of Wilmington and New
Castle Let every Democrat resolve
himself into committee OF
one to approach his brother workingman
saying Brother do not vote to continue
burden upon me which has not benefit
ed you. Do not take the bread out OF
my children's 8 mouths on the vicious ant
false plea Of helping industries Of which
you do not and cannot know the circum
stances. You do not know whether thel
need help or not and yet you do me the in
jury of forcing me to pay tribute Il
them when you know that they have no
benefited you.

REFERRINe to the political situation
in Delaware the Philadelphia Times cor
respondent says.
The Higgins expose Of last Saturday
has very much encouraged the Democrats
and correspondingly disturbed the Re
publicans. Striking balance between
the figures Of conservative men of both
parties, aud without attempting TO fore
cast the operation of the new ballot law,
it looks on the face Of the registration as
though Delaware would go Democratic
by 500 or more
That is the most conservative estimate
The Democrats expect to carry the state
by from !, 200 to 9 500 majority But it
is probably misleading TO say that the
Republicans are 'dis urbed" at this one
incident in the career of Senator Higgins
as if it were something disiointed, or out
Of harmony with other incidents in a
career which began with the Neal case
and has continued on that plane and in
that line without break in the clouds,
without ray Of the sunshine.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Advice to MIR. sperry.


To the Editor Of the Evening Journal.
SIR: Mr.. SPERRY, we wish to give you
some wholesome advice. Don't get hys-
terical don't lose what mind You have
left. Try TO retain the little respect a
few people in this town still have for
you in your present predicament. You
belong to Higgins, of course he bought
you and paid for you and you must defend
him but do you think the gift of a foreign
mission that you did not seek" to "A
cholera stricken country is full pay fer
your present necessary labors? Strike
him now for something better He'll
promise it. But don't drop into the use
of the senator's vocabulary. 1t looks
somewhat out of place even in the
News
This talk about sending your fellow
townsmen to work on the might
shift" in hell. sounds like the
senator himself Did you write that
yourself after absorbing it from Senator
Higgins, or did Higgins send you the
copy2 Another thing, we've caught
Higgins and exposed him. If Bach
hadn't been sick he would probably have
been Gagged, too, or out on bail by this
time Josh Parker is under indictment
You may feel lonely but if there is no
absolute necessity for it you would be
wise not to 90 into these Higgins scan
dals too deep for some of the mud will
cling to you hereafter. You are proba-
bly, not aware how far the corruption ex-
tends. 1t is the cue to keep you in
ignorance of course. MARIUs.

RECENT LITERATURE.

Death to the Inquisitive a Story of
Sinful Love, is the title of book, now
in its second edition, published by w. D..
Rowland, % Chambers street. New York
The authoress, Miss Lurana W. Sheldon,
has a likeness of herself w the front of
the book As the subtitle announces, it
is a story Of sinful love. few of the
chapter heads which will give the reader
an insight into the character Of the book
are: "The Whitchapel Mystery" "The
Shame born Child, 1.-The Breath of Pas
sion, 1.-The Scarlet House of Sin" and
"A Sinful Love" That young and
pretty woman should be so bold as to
write book that puts to shame the
efforts of Zola. and allow her name and
picture to go with it is surprising, to say
the least. The descriptions of characters
and scenes are so vivid that one is almost
forced to believe that none but a man of
experience could write such book as
Death to the Inquisitive.' We doubt
not that the book will have a large sale.

TEE charges against Senator Higgins
are made so definitely, with so many de-
tails and by affidavit, so that if he were
willing to go into court he could have
the men who make them arrested for
perjury. Senator Higgins and the
Smiths and Rev. God save the mark
Jonathan S. Willis are not willing to be
questioned under oath. The attempt TO
make Smith, of Laurel. answer FIVE
questions under oath failed because Smith
knew it would mean an immediate arrest
and a probable conviction for perjury.
Now the Democrats are not excited; they
are proceeding cautiously and making
history as well as gathering proofs.
An affidavit is not brushed aside
with the pen swipe Of a c. o. d.
editorial This is especially true where
there are coroborative details and intrin-
sic evidences Of truth in the aihdavits
which make them arrest and retain the
attention of calm, reasonable men. Add
to that that the atlantis are men whose
characters are above reproach or suspic-
ion. and whose veracity has not been and
cannot be impeached. The Republicans
may buy this election but they have nc

AFTER this canvass is over and people
begin to consider the incidents calmly
the predicament of Senator Higgins, the
two Smiths and the subservient writer Of
those c. o. ID. editorials will be fully
appreciated and rewarded with pop ular
contempt which will be burdensome.
These men are by no means popular when
at their best estates. Just now, while
the heat of the campaign is greatest,
there are many things which superficial
men overlook; which blinded partisans
will not see. With these things
in mind a wiser man than this
super serviceable G, o. d. editor would
be more careful in committing himself to
apologies from which a popular reaction
is inevitable. He may be in Persia but
the recoil will reach him even there.
Popular execration is not bounded by
geographical limits II is pitiable TO see
men put their necks under yoke; it is
more pitiable, STILL 60 witness their ef-
forts to lick the boots of their masters.

WE regret to see the Every Evening
discussing the possibility Of Senator
Higginss innocence with the editor Of
the Morning News. There could not be
a worse waste of time aud effort. Those
editorials are not honest much less sensi-
BILE. They are the c. o. d., efforts Of
man who does not believe what he
says. They are not written with
nerve or vigor They are in
sipid, meaningless and platitudinous
space filters in payment of
bargain which seems TO have knocked
the independence as well as discretion
and logic out of the Uranium of man
who is making a spectacle of himself in
the community Senator Higgins has
settled his own case by impeaching his
own veracity He first denied TO the
EVENING JOURNAL reporter that he had
met Wootten or that he had written
that Parsons letter. Within thirty
minutes he confessed both over
the telephone. He would have CON
fessed more, the entire charge in
fact, if he had had his lunch and if his
presence were not required at Thomp-
sons funeral II is useless to dignity
those c. o. d. editorials with replies.
They would be written just the same if
Senator Higgins had made a more com
promising confession.

evening charged with obtaining money
estimated at from $4,000 to $15, 600 from

THE effects of the new Leval rifle with
which the French troops decimated the
ranks Of the Dahomeyans have served TO
throw doubt upon the theory that the
greater the velocity the less ragged the
wound the ball makes upon the human
victim. The bodies Of the Dahomeyans
killed in the recent battle have been ter
ribly mangled. The scientists have
taken up the phenomenon and are at
tempting to explain it each in his own
way as he has more or less knowledge of
the subject Meantime the Dahomeyans
are becoming convinced that they do not
want to fight the French any longer or
to expose themselves to that awful
death-dealing implement any more
frequently than is absolutely necessary,
and not at all if there is any chance to
run away.

A Big oontrnet rhese Time.

Texas Siftings
The Republicans can only re elect Har-
rison by purchasing the presidency for
hard cash. as they did in 1888. But it is
much more difficult to buy votes now
than it was four years ago The Aus
tralian ballot system has been adopted
by most of the manufacturing states
and this makes the voters perfectly in
dependent They may be bullied by
their employers or bribed by unscrupu-
lous agents outside the polls, but when
they are shut up in the polling booths
nobody can tell how they vote. The
secret ballot has killed bribery and boss
ism, because neither bribers nor bosses
can now be sure how anybody will vote
This is a new condition which must be
taken into account when summing up
the probabilities of the election.

THESE bets, offered on Harrison stimuli
taneously on the exchanges are from the
campaign fund They are put out, God
save the mark, for moral effect They
are not the wagers Of private persons who
have examiner the situation carefully
and wish to back their own opinions. 1t
is within the range of every mans oh
servation that Harrison is unpopular
now where he was unknown in Sss
that he will obtain fewer votes, because
he has less favor; that on the contrary
Cleveland is more popular; that he has
gained friends he never had before that
he has lost none he ever had. These
facts every man knows by his own
personal knowledge as being true within
his own limited circle of personal ac-
quaintances. Looking out upon
the country he can see united,
earnest body of the people contending
unselfshly for the good of the whole peo-
pie, and the other party contending for a
small class of the people and Offering to
bribe the great body of the people to tax
themselves TO enrich that class In such
a condition of affairs the bets made from
fund gathered for corruption are not
arguments they are not indications even
of the sentiment of the people They
are expedients demanded by the exigen-
cies of the party.

Down wIth the Robber TarIr.

Louisville Courier-JOurnal.
Protectionists say cheap and nasty 60
together. Free traders say none of the
comforts of life, neither food nor cloth
ing, neither carpets nor blankets, neither
coal nor houses, nor stables, nor tools,
nor horses; neither the necessities nor
the luxuries Of life are too cheap They
teach in season and out that the progress
of humanity consists in making the
good things of life abundant and the
abundant things of life good. Protec-
tion tells us that waste makes wealth
free trade says it is work which makes
wealth. Protection tells us we can
make man rich by taxing him, and
that the more we take from him the
better off he is. Free trade declares
that the tariff is a tax; that tax les
sens the reward of labor; that the more
of his wages a man retains the richer he
is. Down with the robber tariff

Speaker Crisp, in the course of his
speech in New York, said among other
wise and notable things: "The Demo
Gratis do not say they will increase wages.
They say if you give them an opportu-
nifty they will pass a law that will in
crease the purchasing power of wages 3"
This without any demagogery is the
truth concerning the bearing of the Dem
ocratic policy on the condition of the
wage-earners of the land BY tariff re-
form it is possible without decreasing the
wages in any quarter to add % per
cent. to the purchasing power of the
money received by the common people
in compensation for their toll. In the
