REFERRING to the harmless and
natural confusion into our Republican
contemporary has tended the Dover In.
dex says:
The Morning News was once a sound
money paper, but now what is it On
one day you may expect TO see a frantic
exhoriation to immediate and uncondi-
tional repeal of the Sherman act, and on
another the editor will bob up like any
ranting crank with his particular
scheme OF bi metallism or with an alleged
communication attacking Mr.. Bayard
for advocating an honest and stable cur
rency. Only recently the Morning
News declares that something must be
done 60 reform the pension abuses, but
since Commissioner Lochren has started
TO perform that most difficult task, in
which he ought to have all p, ssible aid
from every man and patriot, this same
newspaper has by slur aud innuendo
sought to disoredit his forts and stir uD
hatred against him; a course, as sug-
gested by the Philadelphia Public
Ledger, eserved for the basest Of dema.
gogues IL was a hopeless task TO try to
follow this great genius on his .wobbling
way
Our contemporary is excusable. It is
running in direct competition with the
Daily Hersey. That imposes editorial
duties and obligations of which I e
editor Of the Index cannot have any con
cepiion. He knows. of course that the
Republican party of Delaware is a pc
culiar institution, but he cannot know
that to be successful with It, the editor
Of the News while comfortable and happy
in catching a sniff Of every land breeze
that blows, must be a cross between a
saint and know nothing That neces-
sity, Of course, results in contradictions.
But, as we said, they are excusable. Re.
publicanism in Delaware would not be in
it If it were governed by sense or virtue.
The Index must consider the existing
conditions, look at the Daily Hersey I
editorials, and learn to have some sym.
pathy for the News.
