Evening journal., 1893-04-24
IT is TIME TO CUT LOOSE.

IT is quite manifest to the observer
that Fred r. Bach, Esq, at some time
has made II ''welle muchee hot" for the
editor Of the EVENING JOURNAL. The
sound of the name Of Bach upon the
tympanum of the ear of the perturbed
Edwards seems to rake up unpleasant
"reminiscences, and the sight of it is as
a red flag TO bull The editor Of the
JOURNAL has brought suit against Mr.
Bach for alleged libel We know nothing
about the merits of the case, but IL the
latter can inject more poison into syn
tax than the JOURNAL man when he
espouses the cause Of some Democrat,
who he fancied ought to be defended,
then he is squirter from squirtville,
thoroughly booked up on the merits, uses
and abuses of the squirt. Dover Sentinel
A short time ago we had occasion to
object to the defective grammar and
phrase. book French of this paper as a
means Of expressing its intended, but
not perfected sarcasm. We recon.
mended good English instead. The
editor has gotten to the Chinese jargon
of the Pacific coast as the nearest ap-
proach to English. That is not the re-
form we expected however. We recon
mend pure English, with its $4,000
words, for the editors big thoughts.
Since however, he cannot use simple
English he cannot be expected to be
careful with facts. They are as foreign
as his Pigeon English is silly For
instance, referring to the above para
graph there is not a statement in it that
is not a misstatement, or worse. Bach is
not an esquire; Edwards is not an editor
sound cannot rake up unpleasant
"reminiscences; the editor of the EVENING
JOURNAL has not brought suit
against Mr.. Bach. And. If the
editor meant TO commit himself to
any other specific statement he must
have been startled and deferred by the
sudden truth that I'VE know nothing of
the merits of the case, " for what he had
already said shows that he did not know,
or care to state II he could know, the
facts.
The latter part of the paragraph shows
a lack of refinement perfectly consistent
with the Chinese iargon and lack OF
facts in the first part. AS whole. it is a
fair specimen of Delaware Republicanism.
It is branch Of the cult which brings
Bach, the tin plate craze, Mahaffy and
negroism TO the top.
These manifestations are not obiec-
tionable in one sense. They are humilia
ting, of course TO man of refinement
and dignity but they serve to make the
final overthrow of Republicanism il
Delaware more certain.
Senator Higgins has already begur

he will soon cut loose from Bach. H'
has determined to separate himself
entirely from that coarse and corrupt
element which brought disgrace anC
defeat on a party which might easily
have maintained supremacy in thii
state, and in the whole country, if i
had not allowed Ignorance, money, selfish
ness, fraud, corruption, vulgarity Il
assume the place that morality, intel
ligence and patriotism held before.
We wish to say here. also, that thi
cult misrepresented Senator Higgins; 70
he is gentleman and scholar. H
really had no business with the element
of his party which came to the top il
this state. He is wise to cut loose iron
