Sm:-ln a recent issue Of your pa per,
In defending a man who had met his
death in house Of ill.fame you refer
to several prominent statesmen. and
also make the astounding assertion that
George Washington was not virtuous.
IL is rather a sad thing to have news
paper belittle the character of a man of
whom every boy and girl in the land has
been taught to regard with the highest
admiration. | delight in reading the
history of our land and especially her
great men, and Of him who was "first
In war, first in peace and first in the
hearts of his countrymen," and who is
justly styled the Father Of His
Country" and protest against any such
unjust aspersions being cast upon his
character. l want to quote, ia
conclusion, the words of John Clark
Ridpatb, LII D., in recent publication.
He says: "rhe life of Washington has
been so often written that IL Is unneces-
sary in this place to refer to II further
than TO point out the thorough conscien-
tiousness, the self sacrificing spirit, the
purity of motive with which he entered
upon and carried to completion the liber-
alton and independence of his country
and no man could be more pure, no man
more self denying. In victory, he was
selfcontrolled; in defeat, unshaken.
Throughout he was magnanimous and
pure In his life IL is difficult to learn
which TO admire most ardently, the
nobility Of his character, the frmness of
his patriotism, or the purity of his con
duct; but the combination made him
man Of divine temper, and take him for
oil In oil 10 nf 20 ha tod IuN

Wilmington, May 26, 1898.
As the above letter states we we're
defending man who was unjustly at
tackled, we were not defaming Washing
ton the hero, the patriot. Weused as illus
trations, David, Webster, Clay, Washing
ton. They were men, who If judged, or
rather condemned for their small faults
would not have the revered and glorious
names we give them now. The article
referred to was written for the purpose
of inducing men to love a fellow man, to
estimate his character, by the good that
lives after him, not for the fault, the
evil, the sin, perchance, that dies with
him. There is more than enough good
in George Washington, the patriot, to
carry his name resounding through
all the ages We do not intend
now, we did not intend ever to teach any
man what he did not know. We did EN-
phasize what he did know of the charsc
ters of David. Webster, Clay and Wash
ington in estimating the fame and honor
Of great and noble men, None of these
men was a saint, judged according to the
low, mean and ignorant standard of the
Puritan, all of them were great and
noble, judged by the sweet and beauti
full truth "He that is without sin among
you. let him cast the first stone at her,
which Jesus Christ came to teach. Tn,
man who read the article referred to IN
any other spirit did his own intelligenc,
an injury. We are not responsible because
he knows less than we know. EDITOR.

THE manner in which +. Elysium Bach
oscillates between Wilmington and
Washington, running the patronage
department Of Senator Higgins there
and leading the hosts Of colored Rspub-
licans here, is comfortable and honorable
to the great party and profitable to him.
Il is we'll known that this leader OF
men-that Is, alleged men-is too proud
70 work. It is said that Senator Higgins
is compelled to send out seeds with his
own hands, frank and address his own
speeches. and otherwise do all the labor
that Is necessary to redeem Delaware and
hold the Massey Bird men in line without
any other assistance from the private
secretary than advice and oversight
That Of course is burdensome upon Sena
tor Higgins. but what is he to do2 He
cannot send Bach to the Almshouse
he cannot allow the Republican party to
fall to pieces He prefers TO send his
own seeds and lick the wrappers on his
own speeches. He cannot do otherwise
There's Bach and there's the Republi-
can party, If one falls, the other collap-
ses; SO Senator Higgins is afraid to
drop either, though he is heartily sick OF
both, aud would fain 60 to Canada for
relief The necessity Of Bach TO the
party here is not apparent His useful
ness is obscure because his methods are
dark, il not imperceptible. tbs certain,
however. that he assists in preventing

MORE QUAKks AT zANTE.
The Island Shook All Night Long .,

ATHENS. April ls.-lncessant earth
quake shocks were felt at Zante through
out last night. The island shook con.
tinuously and the panic stricken people
were in momentary dread Of the ground
opening and swallowing them. The con-
dition ~ the sick and the aged
in pitiable. The weather. however. is
pleasant and much suffering is thus
escaped. The heavy shock yesterday
morning that caused such devastation
in the Island lasted for twenty five SEC
onds. The motion of the earth MAS
from the east 30 the weet and the ground
swung back and forth like slowly NOV
ing pendulum. Many people who we're
on the streets were thrown violently 10
the ground. Ii il estimated that there
are only 3O0houses remaining that are fit
TO live in. Many II the structures
standing are in momcntzry dsnger II
falling down. and will have 70 be pulled
down.
