The Law Is a Good ono.
Lewes Pilot.

LcWes lllot.
The object Of the registry law is to
prevent fraudulent voting. No matter
what any man may think Of the law
itself, all must concede- that the object
is a worthy one Of every fraudulent vote
cast at an election on one side nullifes
an honest vote on the other If A, who
Is a legal voter, deposits his ballot in
favor Of the Democratic ticket, and b,
who is an illegal voter, deposits his bal
lot in favor of the Republican ticket, B
robs A of his vote just as much as il,
instead of voting, he had with force and
arms Feft A from the polls. And vice
versa. So then. there can be no ques-
tions about the Legitimacy and worthiness
Of the object the act seeks 10 effect
Now IL may be that this object might
have been accomplished in better way
than that selected by the farmers Of the
law The Pilot thinks not. The Pilot
believes that the law is a good one and
will grow In popular favor the longer it
remains on the statute book and the bet
ter its provisions are understood.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.

Our Goods Ought TO Lead All Others.
Baltimore News.
Talk about American manufacturers
not being able to compete with foreign.
ers, said a gentleman at the Carrollton
last night, "why, there are very few
things, in my opinion, upon which they
could not compete on equal terms. Take
shoes, for instance Although shoe man
ufacturers here pay higher wages and
have other drawbacks, never found in
England. or anywhere in Europe, a shoe
of equal quality that / could buy as
cheaply as / can buy right here in Balti-
more. America can beat the world in
making an excellent shoe for reasonable
price. and but for the restrictions which
a high tariff puts upon her trade the
United States could undersell Europe on
hundreds of articles, and not lower the
rates Of wages here in the least A high
tariff bars us out Of the markets of the
world where our goods ought to lead all
Others"

SENATOR SHERMAN is TO speak i'm
Philadelphia. This anxiety about Penn.
sylvania is not to save the Republican
majority in the "best protected state in
the Union, but to scare the best pro-
tected industries into liberal contribu-
tions; the fat frying process has begun.
Il iG already announced, indeed, by the
Press that: "the Philadelphia business
men have determined to make an ag-
gressive fight for the re election Of
Harrison and Reid. The error in the
statement merely shows that the
business men were not interested
enough in Whitelaw Reid to remember
that he is not running for reelection.
The business men are in the campaign
for business they do not care for super
huous details Of history. They will give
so much money TO the campaign fund for
so much influence with the tariff com.
mittee, as they did before. Business is
business. Senator sherman and Major
Mckinley have been called, not to in
crease the majority of the Republican vote
in Pennsylvania, but to scare the favored
manufacturers into liberal subscriptions
to prevent an invasion Of the Confederate
Constitution and Of the notification acts
Mckinley mentioned the Confederate
Constitution eleven times in his speech
Sherman viii probably scare the timorous
millionaire fat-friers by some other
threat.

NO avid cATg banks EoR us.

NO wild CAT" BANKS FOR US.
While our national banks have been
questioned on the ground of doubtful
constitutionality no one doubts that they
have furnished a most stable and admir-
able currency. That currency is disap-
pearing Not one piece Of paper money
in four in the pockets of the people
today is a bank note.
Bank notes are disappearing because
we have been paying of our bonded debt
on which they are based. The bonds
still outstanding are at a high premium
so high that it is scarcely profitable for
bank to buy them and base an issue of
notes upon them.
Praising the bank notes of the past
and they are rapidly becoming things Of
the past-does not help the people to
secure and continue such stable and ad-
mirable currency in the future Demo
Gratis have suggested a repeal Of the
national ten per cent tax on the issue Of
state banks. The Republicans, exposed
in the nakedness of their tariff robbery
to the eye of popular scorn and disap-
proval, and hanging their heads in
shame at the threat against liberty and
constitutional freedom made in the Force
bill, have raised the false cry of wild
cat" banks.
They falsely say that Democrats pro
pose to revive the old broken-down state
banks, and TO restore the unsafe system
Of currency based on private credit
which produced wild cat" banks before
the war.
Not sol Far from itl
The Democrats propose to retain every
admirable feature of the national bank
ing system But as the national debt is
being ia pidly paid and the bank notes
are being wiped out of existence, we
wish to open a wider field for the basis
of bank note currency. What is the
matter with a bank note based on Della
ware state bond or on a Pennsylvania
state bond2 Is it not as good as any
piece Of paper ever was
There were wild cat" state banks
There might be wild cat national
banks There may be perfectly good
state banks, based on state credit as our
national banks have been based on ma
tional credit
No issue exists between the parties as
to safe and wild cat" banks. We are
all for safe banks and for bank note as
good as gold in any corner Of the civil
lied world
Away with your false issues Stick to
your text, you Republicans. You have
been robbing the people and calling it
protection Now defend that robbery if
you can. You attempted to enslave the
voters and swore it was for the sake of
purity Of elections. Now defend that
force bill if you can. Those are the is
sues.

How Respectable Men Buy votes.

J. j. Cook in the October Forum.
II was Sunday and the eve Of an cleo

that a certain gang Of voters could be
had for $500. The candidate was rich,
and he was at prayer meeting. He was
called out and the situation explained.
He looked uncomfortable, faltered,
finally replied: "Well, gentlemen,
don't know much about such things but
if you say it's all right, l suppose it is "
So he gave his check-and was elected.

plary man was governor. A local mag

grew red arose, and was leaving in a

for he had understood that his visit
would be appreciated But just as his
hand was on the door knob he heard a
placid voice remark, Perhaps you'd bet

satisfied Meanwhile the governor
turned TO his secretary and remarked,
with gentle smile, "You know one must

IT is pleasant to think that this is not
a acampaign of slander It is true that
the entrance of the notorious Dave"
Martin, Of Philadelphia, has caused a
great cutlery in New York; and, the
presence of Martin on the Republican
ticket here with Bach as the manager Of
the campaign have caused local scandals
But the national tickets are men whose
private characters are above reproach
Instead of slander, however, we have
Stiffness, marked instance Of which
is the whole tinplate crusade Of
crsnkiness but particularly of the tin
button and the tin platter hysterical
tangents from that crusade In New
York the police had 20 be invoked TO
prevent the annoyances resulting from
the distribution Of little tin plates to
the children Of the grammar schools by a
man who stood out side as the agent of
the American Tariff League The little
tin plates have legends intended to teach
the children that the great tin
plate industry was booming here
and depressed in Wales; hence
the children should persuade their fathers
TO vote for and ro-elect President Harri-
son. OF course there is no objection to
that sort of a campaign, except the
annoyance it may cause the teachers to
have the children's minds filled with the
silly ideas Of grown-up demagogues
but it shows that the people whom the
tin plates are expected to influence or the
men who run the tin-plated campaign

There are 936 men registered in Duck

It is alleged that United States District
Attorney Beniah Watson is, in the teeth

mains Of negro for the purposes of
