The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1896-11-24

Peace Hath Her Victories.

with the exception of the late Joshua
Maryil, since the formation Of the party,
and what is more, they have elected but
very few candidates to Congress. This
fact may be attributed to the greed and
selfshness of the leaders as much as to the
methods resorted to by the immaculate
Democrats The leaders, through their
blindness and folly, have invariably been
ready to fight over division Of the Offices
before they had them in their hands to
distribute In this way they failed to win
and the Democrats managed to appropri-
ate the offices that If wiser course had
been pursued, would have fallen into r.
publican hands. How long this policy
will be adhered to, we cannot predict, but
we may presume that as long as their life
shall last, there will be no change for the
better. In the last campaign, the sugges-
ton of Speaker Reed that down East the
Republicans generally aimed to secure the
offices before they attempted to award
them, had no influence with any one. The
old course was continued aud the result
was the election of Democrat for Cover
nor, Democrat for Congress- which will
be followed, we suppose, by the election Of
Democrat to the U, S. Senate. This is
poor compensation for the struggle for
leadership on the part of Il few men. 1t is
the old story of rule or ruin. We had
hoped different course would have been
pursued, but we were mistaken aud now
it is too late to repent of the mistakes
that are apparent. We hope the lessons
of the past may bring such reform in
management that victory may follow.
The party should unite, as without uuion
defeat is certain. However much some
may like this, it is very Objectionable to
Others and If a change for the better is
not soon made, there will be no Use of
following such leadership.
THE domestic troubles of numerous per-
sons are often aired in the courts. 1t was
only recently that a man appeared in tho
Superior Court and asked that his plea
for divorce from his wife be withdrawn
1t appears the lady is his third venture in
the matrimonial line, and both had chill
dren by former marriages. From some
cause, best known 20 themselves, they
failed to agree as the good book teaches
The husband has some property which he
has been unable to dispose of without al
lowing his wife her one-third share. The
court refused his plea to Withdraw his SUIT
for divorce until he paid the lawyers and
the court charges. The gentleman was
nearly heart broken over the ruling of tho
court and said then you had better con-
sign me to the pOOrhOusc, for that is what
your ruling means i'll my case" The court
said it had no intention of DESTROYING the
petitioner and dismissed him with that
Injunction. Family disscnt0us arc UNI

ders that take place daily, and it is too
bad that persons cannot bear and fOrbear
With one another whom they have sworn
to love and protect as long as life lasts.
But all persons are not filed with the
milk of human kindness and are appar-
emily never happy without they are fight
