IMITATION, as has been said before.
is the sincerest form of faitery. The
EVENING JOURNAL has led the way IN
the improvement and the progress OF the
newspapers Of this state One by one
they have dropped in behind us. slowly
and reluctantly as if fearful Of losing
some of the moss on their backs, and so
far as they were able, adopted our Gus.
toms sullenly aud silently the Every
Evening placed the imprint Of the United
Press above its dispatches yesterday.
thus abandoning the Associated Press
news report which has appeared so ride
ulous by comparison with the telegraphic
dispatches in the EVENING JoURNAL.
It is curious that the Daily
Hersey was the first to per.
ceive aud acknowledge the superior
methods Of the EVENING JOURNAL.
That venerable noneutity adopted the
system Of news plates, which we dis.
carded as our circulation and influence
grew larger aud stronger. Then the
Morning News bought the same style oi
press the EvEEISG JOURNAL had intro
duced, followed the style of our make ur
as closely as possible. and threw out the
Associated Press dispatches that had
become practically useless Thus one by
one, in their different ways and with diff
ferent degrees Of cheerless unwilling
ness, they have been compelled to follow

1t is often the case that Senators Gray
and Higgins vote in opposition to each
other even on partisan measures
That's not strange because the cults. the
sentiments and the habits of thought Of
the two men are not in harmony in any re
spect.
In the matter Of the Anti-Option bill
Senator Gray argued on constitutional
grounds against the bill and against the
George substitute for it. In conclusion
he said that he had occupied so much
valuable time Of the Senate because he
regarded the matter as one of transcend
ent Importance. and because he desired
to explain why he could not vote for tho
bill or the substitute. In his opinion the
measure would overturn the American
form of government and throw down
every barrier between absolute power
and the liberty of the citizen-the
liberty of contract on which civilization.
in such a large measure, depended.
Senator Higgins made an argument in
favor Of the bill. He argued that the
system Of future dealings as practiced
ia the exchanges was continental and
worldwide interference with the Ia Of
supply and demand and that under It
the producers of the country were made
the sport of those who choose to
gamble in their products. He had no
difficulty on the constitutional question,
either as to the bill OF the substitute
Senator Higgins is a good, practical
lawyer but not a statesman. or n
scientific lawyer. Hence he made falla-
cious promise and a sentimental argu-
ment in favor of the ti.Option bill.
The Chicago Board Of Trade, against
which the bill is chiefly directed is a
great benefit to farmers in fixing the
prices Of produce in harmony with the
laws Of supply and demand-it cannot
regulate either-and in enabling them
throughout this vast territory, to make
exchange of produce or stock. at the
worlds market prices for that day, with
facility and safety.
The position Of Senator Higgins that
the Board of Trade interferes with tie
law Of supply and demand, is as prepos
? ferrous as his attempt TO protect. o.
conserve, or regulate supply or deman'
by law. They are laws unto themselves
like the tides. Any interference wit
them would abridge the rights Of Ia
/, many without bene6ting the few.

SOME Of the Republican papers express
dissatisfaction at the meagre plurality,
$40, 600, Of Cleveland over Harrison and
his failure to obtain a majority over all.
It is true that Cleveland did not get the
tariff robber vote the pension vote, the
negro vote, nor all Of the honest white
American vote, but he came very near
the latter. It probably has not occurred
to the grief stricken commentators to note
that Harrlson's vote was 1874, 900 less
than a majority Of the popular vote and
20O, 900 less than he received in 1888.
Hence II the Republican philosopher can
not extract anything but grief from the
failure of Cleveland to carry every state
in the Union or to obtain every vote that
was free, untrammelled and honest, he
can not extract any Joy from the contem-
platiop OF the calamity which overlook

THE Democrats of this state have had
such an uncomfortable experience with
the Republican courts juries and judges
that they brought great pressure on
Governor Reynolds to prevent him from
appointing a Republican to the Delaware
bench. Through no fault of the state
courts, no fault Of the Democrats or
Democratic officials, the Federal courts
have placed themselves in antagonism
to the state laws and state officers in
such a manner that the Democrats feel
the need Of all the aid they can obtain.
The cases that have been before the Fed
eral courts within the last few
weeks have not assuaged this feeling.
officials who did their duty as state off,
GERS have been dragged before the Fed
eral courts, and the newspapers have at
tackled the Legislature for providing 0
defense by the state for state
officials, foI executing state laws Ii
this temper the Democrats could see n'
virtue in assisting a treacherous an,
unfair enemy. The Republicans may la.

sentiments among the Democrats Whel

Charles II. Bebb, superintendent Of the

is no foundation for the popular doubt
regarding the possibility of ''6reproof-

THAT conspicuous and none too modest
Republican statesman and committee
man, James S. Clarkson. has appeared
with another brilliant CLINT of hindsight.
He has looked backward frequently, but
never more tersely than now in saying.
'The Republican party is the party of
the people. We do not want the in
auence Of the Carnegies and FriclSs, nor
do we care particularly for the support
OF capital that is not friendly to the in
terests Of the people" Precisely so.
But James did not find that out till after
the people had declared it so unmistak.
ably, that. even fool, may know it.
How can It be any better known that this
country cares more for the interests Of
the 10000 workingmeA in Car
negie's shops than for Carnegie. The
Democrats got on the side Of the 10000;
the Republicans took Carnegies money
and gave him his tariff The money
was potent for fifteen years, the tariff
has been increased twenty six times by
the Republican party. It seemed that
the Carnegies and their agents in Con
gress, and in the Presidential chair.
could not be dislodged The Democrats
stuck TO the interests of the 10000 and
here we are Clarkson's hindsight is
brilliant, but his rotten old party would
have been in power yet if they had exer
cised It as foresight

THERE are several ways by which the
group Of Sandwich Islands may become
identified with the United States, but we
must not allow spectators or adven-
turers to dictate the way. It must be
done right or not at all The United
States has no need Of the territory or the
$4,000 savages Of Hawaii We have
both in abundance. AS for the com
merce and the treaties, we have them
already. Hence, we are in a position to
treat the question Of annexation calmly
and philosophically We do not need to
consider the foolish plea some people are
urging, that. II we do not take Hawaii.
England will England viii not, at least
unless she is bigger and stronger than
we are Il is not the policy of this coun-
try TO acquire territory oil Of this conti-
nent at all. 1t is the policy to acquire
territory here only by fair means, as in
the cases Of Louisiana and Alaska. The
Monroe doctrine requires us TO keep our
hands of neutral territory, as it prevents
foreign powers from trespassing upon
this territory We cannot make and
break our own policy with every political
breeze in the insignificant little countries
that gravitate about this great central
Republic. Our policy is our philosophy,
our mode Of living, which is not TO be
altered to meet the exigencies Of miuor
countries. In addition to this settled
policy, there is much that is objection
able in undertaking the government and
the civilization Of the barbarous peopl,
Of the Sandwich Islands.

TRYING TO SAVE: eAYARp LEACH.

He Is Being Treated at the Pasteur In
stitute-Dr. Ewes Inocuiates a Bitten
Horse.
DR.. II. p. Ewes received the necessary
material this morning to inoculate the
horse of Joseph Leach at Elsmere, which
was bitten by rabid dog last Wednes-
day. The material was sent from DR.. Gibi-
er's Pasteur Institute in NewYork. The
doctor went to Elsmere at noon, in order
to treat the animal, which he hopes will
recover after the appliance of the ingre-
dents.
The dog that caused all the trouble
was the property of George Leach, q
florist living TO the west of Elsmere
while Bayard lived to the north of that
new village but the two families are moi
related.
The report comes from New York that
the boy, Bsyerd Leach was taken to th'
hospital just in time to be saved from
hydrophobia
