MISREPRESENTATION

Only a sense of duty has prompted
US to write many things during this
campaign the end Of which we shall be
glad to see. We had rather say pleas
ant things than harsh, and we let much
go uncontradicted because of that feel
ing. Mr.. George W. Roberts. of the
sentinel" made the charge in pri-
vate conversation when in Middle
town that the regular Republicans Of
Kent and Sussex were dickering with
the Democrats. When further ques-
TONED be admitted in Sussex county
he meant only the combination on the
convention delegates which wss done
in open daylight and as non partisan
matter. In Kent, however, he as
serted the offer had been made to vote
the Democratic county ticket in ex-
change for convention delegates and
that he would give the names in the
"Sentinel' last Saturday of those to
whom the proposition was made. He
made such an assertion in his paper
but he did not give the names. He
cannot give the names. We have been
at some trouble to get at the truth
and we are assured that Roberts, as
sertion is "an unmitigated lis.n The
only matter Of consultation between
Democrats and Republicans was as to
the non-partisan delegates to the Con-
vention. But hundreds of voters see
only the Sentinel" and that falsehood
was told with a purpose-to influence
voters. Such are the unfair and dis
honest methods of politics which are
menace to good government. We sh all
be only too glad to make any correction
Of any error the TRANSCRIPT might
fall into. Will the "Sentinel,' say as |
much and either give the promised |
names or retract the charge?
That no compromise has been ef-
fected in the Republican State ticket
3 due finally to Mr.. Addicks but in
great measure to his followers whose
policy has been to claim that every ef-
OFT lor compromise on the part of reg
liar Republicans wasca show OF weakness
IND that there would be q complete f
surrender to them il they would only
loid out. Such has been their policy
ND the policy has hopelessly divided |

These are old proverbs that are we'll

IRELAND AN AlARMIST.

Bishop Wigger Of Newark, New
Jersey, condemns and ~d-precates the
course Of Archbishop Ireland in Civ
ing the public a letter on political is
sues calculated to arouse the passions
OF men that have lain dormant since
the closing Of the a He says:
Archbishop Ireland always has
been an tx 'remist There are some
men who cannot see in any situation
or set OF circumstances any hope for
brightness With them danger of
the gravest character is always stalk
ing abroad. I am thankful to be able
ments expressed by Archbishop Ire
land
According to Archbishop Ireland
the Chicago platform is a declaration
OF secession, aud the Chicago NOM
inees are leaders in a movement to
disrupt this glorious union. That is
absolutely not true. l dare say, and
| believe, the men who framed the
Chicago platform and the men fight
ing for victory under its standard are
as good men and as pure patriots as
Archbishop Ireland. am convinced
Of the absolute honesty and sincerity
Of the Democratic leaders, and I am
convinced nc one thought of secession
or rebellion. AS honest men they are
untitled tn kott1o fNc Tho ~r;,.;,lo.
they believe will bring prosperity to
their country, and therefore to their
c~ountrymen, and neither Archbishop
ireland nor any o.her man has a
right to assign to them motives of
accession or rebellion.
l tell you secession is dead in this
country. This is why I ~depreciate the
words Of Archbishop Ireland. He is
an ardent Republican, working for
the cause of his party, but I believe
he has gone further-yes, a great deal
further-than the circumstances war
rant, or than becomes a christian
gentlemen. His position is a digni-
fled one-it is an exalted one-and his
words, uttered, perhaps, in a thought
less moment, are surely without war
rant and may possibly lead some poor
soul to deeds that the whole country
will shudder at. Not secession, not
rebellion-those are dead-but the
misguided spirits, iniamed by words
uttered by lips which they have looked
mp to, are capable of hurting, not the
country, but themselves.
As for Archbishop Ireland's lettert
l don't want to discuss it. AS I said,
before, he is an extremist end an
alarmist, and his whole letter is on
these lines. I, in my capacity as a
citizen Of a glorious American Re-
public, have faith in its stability and
future. l condemn the utterances of
men, no matter what their station.
calculated to endanger these. Arch
bishop Ireland has sowed a harvest
that he may dread to see reaped.

A SICKLY SPECTACLE
IN A PLAIN Box FOR A COFFIN,
AND BARELY COVERED
WITH STRAW.
Perpetrators of the Horrible Deed
unknown-It Was Probably u
Child of shame.

Yesterday evening about o'clock a
discovery was made which would turn
a stout man sick at heart.
A white baby was unearthed In the
Spring Palace grounds on the Texas
and Pacific railroad reservation In the
heart of the city.
John Collins, n boy bootblack with
some playmates was setting some traps
to catch snow birds, and In raking
away some straw to make clean place
for his trap he discovered box, the
top OF which was about even with the
ground. Thinking he had probably
discovered a buried treasure he pulled
1t out from the loose dirt, when Sick
ly odor filed his nostrils. Raising the
lid Il sight was disclosed which would
freeze the blood of an Iron heart. In
a poor box, about IS inches long and
very narrow was crammed the body OF
a very young baby, wrapped in dirty
cloth with its toes protruding at one
end and its head turned to the side in
order to make 1t fit the box. The little
child had E I formed face, with large
eyes and short black hair. The body
was badly decayed and the skin had a
blush tint. having from all indications
been dead about four or five days.
Deputy Sheriff Jim Young was soon
on the ground and left Immediately
for Justice Adams. who took charge
of the body. An inquest will be held,
hut 1t Is hardly probable that any new
facts will be developed. 1t is supposed
that 1t was an Legitimate child, and
may have been buried alive. The ap-
pearance of the body would seem to
indicate this. as no marks of violence
We're discovered.
Detective G.. t. Talbot, who arrived
on the scene among the first after the
discovery, says that there is nothing
about the corpse or surroundings TO
furnish clew us to who are the guilty
parties.

lower, as n material change In any
direction must be for the better. But
