Another Complaint t.

EDITOR TRANSCRIPT Since you gave
space to my complaint" l come again. 1t
is not to repeat the wall of last week that
l had on Sabbath to stumble again over
the entangling skirts of the coming wo-
man." planted as usual in the end seat Of
the pew, though did have to go through
the usual entangling performance on Sun
day. If she were man should call her a
pig, but-this is another story.
l am a crank and the readers of the
TRANSCRIPT can take my measure accord
iEgly, but when for two Sabbaths I have
seen the Children's Day Dress Parade, the
regular church services, including the Sun
day-school session, giving way to the last
quarter Of the 10th century evolutions, I
wondered if, indeed, these days are equal to
the good old times of yore when | was
a-shall I say, boy or girl? 1t doesn't
matter whether wear the "pants" or not,
the question is, are these days as good as
those of our childhood when the Bible,
that much neglected book, was the text
book of the Sunday school, and the doc
trines of the Church were taught from the
catechism? Of course there was no dress
parade, no formal proce ssion, no floral dis
play, all very pretty but whence the good?
There was the grand old picnic in the grove,
the open-air exhibition when the boys
spoke.
The Boy Stood ON the Burning Deck,
Rienzi's Address to the Romans,
Webster's reply to Haines; and the girls
had recitations and old time dialogues.
After the speaking came the treat Of ice
cream and lemonade. etc., the picnic din
ner having preceded the whole. 1t was
otter eaten from a general family table,
though occasionally from the baskets in
picnic style.
OF course, Mr.. Transcript, you will praise
the performance of Sunday as you did that
of last Sunday, saying pretty things, per-
haps fattering things, of the participants
as we'll as of the whole program, to in
crease the youthful vanity and pride as
displayed on dress parade, not being any
part of the Sunday school work according
to my old-fashioned ideas, but honestly do
you not think the Church would be better,
the people more spiritual, and the children
more considerate of their elders and more
devoted to the Church, if we could all get
back to the primitive ideas of the Church,
now entertained only by
A CRANK?

WILMINGTON ELECTION.

The municipal election in Whining
ton last Saturday resulted in substan-
tial victory for the Democrats. They
elected the mayor by 26S majority, the
President of City Council by 1913 ma
jority, the City Solicitor by los major
ity, the Assessor and Collector of the
Southern District and seven of the
twelve members of City Council.
Joseph X. Adams, Republican, was
reelected City Treasurer by 10 major
ity and Major Edmund Mitchell, Jr.,
Republican, Assessor and Collector of
the Northern District.
The result of the election was as
much of surprise to the Democrats
as to Republicans. 1t was done by the
stay-at-home vote, more Republicans
remaining away from the polls than
Democrats. The long Senatorial con-
test had as much to do with the result
as any thing. Republicans got very
tired of that contest and disheartened.
Democrats are made of different stuff;
they seldom become disheartened and
never get tired. The best informed
politicians say Mr.. Addicks had moth,
ing to do with it, though his down the
State friends predicted the result.
Certainly the Republican administra-
tion of the affairs of the city has been
clean and it was no fault Of the retiring
officials that Wilmington will be gov
erned by the Democrats for the next
two years.

THE Every Evening has been very
anxious of late about the attitude Of
certain prominent Republicans of the
country upon financial questions. 1t
was forced anxiety, as Senator Sher-
man and Republicans like him can be
trusted on the financial question or
any other, but the E. E. may very
reasonably feel an anxiety that is not
forced, at the attitude of the Illinois
Democrats in State Convention assem-
bled on Wednesday when they declared
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at 16 to without regard to the
views of foreign powers, and denounce
Mr.. Cleveland as gold bug, taken
with the declaration of ex-Congress-
man Hunter that "curses of Mr..
Cleveland, both long and loud, could
be heard from the old and active
Democrats from one end of the coun-
try to the other," because of his fnan-
cial views. Our esteemed co-tempo-
rary had best set right its friend, Gov.
Altgeld, the ''pardoner of Anarchists,
burglars and habitual criminals'' as
the Democratic New York World
refers to him, rather than be troubled
over John Sherman and other Republi-
cans. 1t really looks like two Demo-
cratic parties. Too bad. Will the
E. E. be with Anarchist Altgeld at the
wind up or with Eckles whose states
manship ex-Congressman Bryan says
was made by fiat act Of the Admin
istration out of brass?

nobody" to the end. The writer, hav-
ing the privilege of the floor, was
asked to apprise certain Republican
members of the possibility of vote for
Harry A. Richardson by the Addicks
men the last half hour of the balloting.
He did so, but the proposed votes for
Mr.. Richardson never materalized, and
it was never intended that they should.
Their only object was to prevent the
election of anyone save Addicks, and
to do this they tried to get the other
Republicans to break from Col. DUPONT.
But what is the objection to Col. du-
Pont? The Sentinel cannot name one
objection, and the only one it has is
the one against all others, namely that
it is not Addicks. That is all. 1t is
to be hoped for the good name of Della
ware, if it has any left politically, that
Col. DUPONT will be seated. Many
Democrats are as desirous of this as
are the Republicans, since such
solution will remove Addicks from the
politics of the State according to his
own statement. With Col. dupont in
the Senate Mr.. Addicks will not only
not be, but will have no claim to be,
"the acknowledged master of the situa-
tion."
If Col. DUPONT is not seated and the
people do not arouse themselves, and
Addicks, buys a Republican paper
there, puts money in Democratic
paper here, and fees reporter some
where else, then may the Democrats in
the State, as we'll as the Republicans,
inquire, and inquire seriously, What Of
the future?
