cANNoT BE WITHDRAWN.

The Addicks demonstration in the
Grand Opera House was not at all in
dicative Of the popularity OF the gas
man and his political system in New
Castle county generally, aud the city
OF Wilmington particularly. There is
no doubt that the audience was large
but we must bear in mind that more
than three-quarters OF those In at
tendance were drawn there by that
curiosity which is always piQued by
any movement with which Mr. Addicks
is connected. There are not more than
six or seven hundred Addicks sup
porters in the entire city OF Whining
ton, and It is not natural to presume
that they were all in attendance. Con-
sequently the balance OF the audience
must have been made up Of persons
from the worlds curiosity shop
This public ratification OF Hon. John
H. Hoffecker and Hon. Jonathan S.
Willis settles one thing conclusively.
That is that Addicks will not with
draw either Of these men for the sake
This step has, so far as the Addicks-
ties are concerned, definitely deter
mined the fact that both Hoffecker and
Willis will remain in the fight until
the ballots are cast and counted in
November.
The life interests Of the regular Re
publican organization demand that
Higgins and Houston be kept in the
field for their withdrawal would be
tantamount to a disintegratlon of the
party.
Neither side is In a position to re-
tire from the field, for retreat would
prove even moro disastrous than de.
feat at the hands OF the Democrats
The regular Republicans are fighting
for life, the Addicksites for victory
Everyone knows how bitter a fight for
life is, and will recognize the danger
GUS character Of the struggle which
will result in the absolute defeat OF Ad-
dicks, the restoration to full party con-
troll of those men who now lead the
regular Republicans, and the election
of the Democratic ticket In all three
| counties.
Addicks may hold ratification meet
lngs and spend his money like water
but with the moral strength OF tn,
commonwealth arrayed against him h,
must succumb as many another politi
cal adventurer has succumbed bcfor,
he drifted from the marts OF specu-
lation into the political arena in whic
he has played such a conspicuous, bu
futile part against the lovers OF mo-
rality OF honest elections.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
MR.. HEALY ON THE IRISH sITUA-
TION


TION.
Mr.. Healy is much the cleverest man
in the Irish Natinoal party, and on the
whole we are inclined to think him the
most frankly outspoken. What, then,
is the impression which he produces
on the mind of neutral observer? 1t
is that he cares a good deal about the
concessions which he can win from the
United Kingdom on the subject of the
Irish Land laws; that the mere process
Of winning them from q good nation
likes this gives him a good deal of
honest satisfaction; that he care a
good deal also for the pleas
ure of defying England and liberat-
ing his soul on the subject of
her laundering government of Ireland;
but that he cares little or nothing for
practical success in the Home Rule
policy which he advocates. Consider
carefully the speech which he made in
Dublin in relation first to the great
achievement Of the session, the new
Irish Land Act, and next to the Irish
Nationalist Conference which has
been summoned to meet in Dublin from
all parts of the world. On both sub
jects he was very explicit and so far
as we can judge, very straightforward.
He really believed the Irish Land Act
Of last session to be an important act,
as well as a good act so far as it goes.
He really thought Mr.. Gerald Balfour
a sincere and wise Irish statesman. He
certainly desired to convince those
who heard him that Mr.. Dillon is a
perfectly incompetent Irish leader. He
desired to see him removed from the
head of the Irish party. And so far
as we can judge, he cared very little
who should be put in his place, un-
less, perhaps, he had a fancy for occu-
pying that conspicuous but very help
less position himself; and of such an
ambition we doubt extremely whether
he is not too shrewd a man to be
really desirous. so long as he can occu-
py the still more satisfactory posi-
tion of the man who makes the nomi-
nal leaders, position a burden to him
/ and who paralyzes his hand.
That Is the attitude so far as any
\ impartial critic can understand It,
which Mr. Healy takes up. He exhibits
not trace OF the feeling that it is
rulnous for the Irish party to show
how deeply and hopelessly divided it
is.
Healy cheerfully joined the Anti
Parnellites whom he is now effectu-
ally breaking in two. The last consid-
Grafton which seriously affects
that shrewd and penetrating mind of
his, is the consideration that English
men in millions will argue from all
these interminable quarrels among
Irish politicians that a separate Irish
Parliament would not only be mis-
chievous in the highest degree, but
that it Is not so much as seriously de
sired by the most acute of the Irish
/ leaders. London Spectator.

present to add their names to the pa
per, but failed to get a single name.
In discussing Mr.. Ford's letter he
stated in substance that they need not
pay much attention to Mr.. Ford's let
ter, and apparently wished to convey
the impression that Mr.. Ford did not
intend It as a damper on their move
ment, and this impression was
strengthened by the presence and per-
sistency of Hugh Dougherty. Taken
altogether, it was the worst kind of a
tempest in a teapot.

The sentimental Mule.

IT never thought mules had any special
sentiment or feeling" said George Miller.
secretary of a coal mine at Hazleton,
Penn, as he sat in the corridor of the Ho-
tel Netherland last night, says the New
York Times. Il thong at, Of course, they
were satisfied anywhere so long as they
were not overworked and had plenty to eat,
and have seen a good deal of mules and
mule nature in the last twenty years. But
a few weeks ago had cause to change my
views on the subject.
1--WE had in our mine four old mules who
had been down in the levels 200 and 300
feet under ground for several years. They
were used in hauling coal cars back and
forth in the levels. They were fairly well
treated, we'll fed, and as comfortably
housed in their underground stable as pos
s.ble, and so far as l know, were content
ed with their lot. 1t became necessary
this summer to make some alterations in
the air fans at the mine, and every living
thing except the rats, had to be taken out,
so the mules were brought TO the surface
and turned out to pasture for the time be-
ing. l remember how they blinked and
winked as they saw sunlight after their
long Imprisonment.
FINALLY the mine was ready to work
again, and the mules were led to the shaft
house and We're about to be placed on the
car to be lowered, when it seemed to dawn
on their poor dumb intellects that they
were going back to the dark mine. Then
came one of the most pitiful scenes ever
saw. Those poor beasts seemed almost
human in their action. They cried and
moaned, and in their way begged not to
be sent back. 1 confess that tears came
to my eyes, and many a hardened old min
er turned away with a lump in his throat
at the sorrowful spectacle. But they had
to go down. 1 could hear their cries grow
fainter as the car sank slowly down the
shaft 1 tell you, gentlemen, those poor
brutes have haunted me ever since. It's
that COMPOUNDED mule incident that has
brought me to the city this trip I'm try
ing to arrange for an electric plant that
can do the work in the mine that those
mules are now doing.

The End of the critic.

There was once a very wise king, and
there was among his subjects an archi-
tecr, gifted with great gifts, but modest
withal, says a writer in the Chicago Rec
! ord And the king, designing to perpet-
uare' the fame Of his dynasty, ordained
that magnificent temple be built-oh, a
stately edince of transcendant beauty. And
the conception of the modest but gifted
architect pleased his sovereign and the
work was given into his hands. The tenn
pie was built, and the people came to see,
and they We're enraptured, for such an
other memorial there was not in all the
world And when the dedication ceremo-
nies were held, the king wept for very JOY
at his ability to so honor his dead
But some days afterward man was
seen proving about the temple and there
were whisperings concerning him and his
sayings, and the whisperings grew in vol
ume until they became open speech, and
men shook Their heads obviously as they
passed the temple-men who had before
marveled at its beauty.
The architect heard of 1t, and he asked
his friend, and his friend said that the
story was abroad that blunder had been
committed, and that the square thing of
the floor should have been set with the
northward side east and the eastward side
north, and 50 on. A man had told it. So
the modest architect was depressed, and
the hluS, seeing IT. dSkeu MIN WueIelOIS,
and he told him. Then the king sent for
the man.
1T is certainly true" said the man,
that the tiles would have looked much
better if the northward edges were east
erly and the western edges therefore
northerly, and
who is this MANI" asked the king of
one of the builders of the temple.
He is a carrier of mortar whom we
discharged for incompetency," said the
builder. Then the king was on fire with
wrath.
do you know that have accepted this
temple and have dedicated it to my an
cestry?" he cried, land that your puerile
criticism is not a judgment upon the archi-
tect, but upon me and the kings before
me whose glory it was built, and the kings
to follow me, for whose witness it was
erected-ay, and to the state and to the
people?'
And then he directed them to take the
man cut and Stay him.
(And l am glad of IT'D
