ing the disposition TO be made of Tur-
key, and that IL is probable the sultan
will be deposed
Meanwhile, discoveries of dynamite
and other explosives are daily being
made in Constantinople. The Porte
declares that it did not ask for money
with which to buy arms, but simply
intended that Turkish subjects should
voluntarily cOnlrOute to a fund that il
was found necessary to raise Tor the
armament and equipment of the imper-
ial troops. The diplomats in Constan-
tinople look upon this as q thinly

whom alone the sultan can be legally
deposed, remains at the latter's resi-

The suggestion that the sultan should
be deposed is looked upon in some
quarters as an excellent one, on the
ground that whoever should be his sue
cessor, he could not be a worse ruler

AFTER THE BATTLE.

Now that the presidential election Is
over. and the country still remains IN
the same place, politicians can appre-
ciate the fact that a good deal OF the
excitement Of the last six months has
been caused through false under
standing as to the actual power of the
president of the United States in his
relations to the government Many peo-
ple have awakened suddenl to the fact
that the president, high and honorable
as his position is, forms only one por-
tion OF the government Talking

mon phrase of late. and 1t means
kind of talk INDUCED in for effect ana
not really believed by the person who
utters IL.
We have had a good deal OF this kind
of talk during the recent campaign.
Men have said much that they did not
believe themselves, to their political
opponents with the hope Of influencing
them. But the time has gone by tor
all this now and it is well TO remem-
her that the president of the United
States is required TO take an oath that
entirely ignores all political parties.
When he steps into the White House
he is no longer a politician and be-
comes president of the whole people
If his views before his election were
cramped by partisanship, it is his duty
to enlarge them, and make them COM
preshensive so as TO benefit the entire
country with a just and patriotic ad-
ministration.
Few people will doubt that the pres
ent occupant of the White House has
conscientiously done this. He may
have done wrong and made mistakes,
for it is human to. err, yet history viii

future generations will admit what we,
in the heat of politics, have many of us
failed to see; that his administration
has been a wise and conservative one
We shall never know what it would
have resulted in If he had received the
support OF his party in Congress, and
with this allusion it is well to forget
the past and press onward to that glor.
ious future which men of all parties
will agree is in store for our country.

KENT COUNTY,

Special Correspondence Evening Journal.
DOVER, Nov. 4.-Never before in the
history of Kent county have such dis
graceful scenes been enacted at the
polls, and the farce of an election car
ried out as It was yesterday. Money
was spent like water and that the
county was not wholly carried by Ad-
dicks for the Union Republican candi-
dates and may even prove to be Demo
cratic is due not to the fact that there
was not enough money to buy all the
votes, but TO the fact that there were
some voters who could not be bought
The votes of both whites and blacks
were purchased just as so much mer-
chandise, and it is charged that some
of the principal merchants accepted
money to vote the Addiclxs ticket. One
case is cited by the Democrats OF a
prominent young man who voted yes
terday for the first time, on age. He
had proclaimed himself a Democrat
and was a member of the Dover Demo
cratic Club. Yet it is charged that hs
voted for the Union Republican candi
datessin consideration of $40
Many of the Addicks voters, particu
larly the negroes, displayed bills o
large denominations, which they die
not hesitate to say were acquired b,
selling their suffrages.

ing TO conventional moral standards, but
he Is leading detestable assault upon
the honor Of the republic and the welfare OF
the whole people. He is politically bad, ana
his private morality makes him no better as
n candidate for the Presidency. In truth,
most men are moral. II they were not, So
cety could not hold together. 1t is no
great distinction for n man that he oDeys
the laws OF social morality. He is merely

nifty. The requisite distinction in politics Is
political morality; the intellectual conVlc-
tlon a candidate holds and represents.
bad man morally may be useful in politi-
cal leadership, but a man of unsound and
perncious politics is always dangerous, how
ever decent his private life. His morals are
private his politics concerns the public.
DR.. BRoADDUs exhibits moral sense so
dull as to disqualify him for applying a
else. He is officially preacher of the
Gospel, yet he cannot sec anything
wrong or even important in the repu-
dation of one-half of public and pri-
vate debts. That is not matter of
any consequence, in this preachers estima-
tion. He will not take it into considera-
tion in voting; but obviously will vote for
BRYAN, because, as he says, BRYAN "is
distinguished by manliness and candor
which are wanting in his opponentw Con-
Quoting a canvass of falsehood and false
representations, and which throughout Is
conspicuously and unmistakaby dema-
gogc, is manly and candid in the view Of
this Virginia minister!
Probably DR.. BRoADDUs is man Of
stainless moral character" though being
so he cannot be singular in Sparta, or one
among only few of the members Of the
Virginia community. In that respect he
follows the Spartan rule, we suppose. But
politically he is grossly immoral. He is
fragrant examp of political oblquity, in
spite of conventional private responsibility

Horselcss Carriages.

The London trade journal, Industries ana
Iron, has lately published a series of arti-
cles on the eXpcdency OF substituting auto
cars or motor cars for the wagons and car
riages drawn by horses. The author. Mr..
JAMES LONG, who is evidently qualified by
an engineers experience tn discuss the sub
jeCt examines first the machines and the
prospect of improving them, and then the
various uses to which they may be applied.
In England, until recently, the law was
the chief obstacle to the employment of the
horseess carriage, but this obstacle has
been removed by the passing of the Loco
motives on Highways bill. Before the auto
car, however, can come into general use
there are several questions to be answered
respecting the machines themselves, their
structure and motive power, their cost and
the degree Of skill required to manage
them. In Mr.. LONGS opinion the adoption
OF electricity for the propulsion of the
horseless carriage is as yet improbable; thus
far, the thoughts of English engineers
have been directed to the application either
of petroleum or of steam. Whether in this
particular field petroleum will displace
steam or steam will displace petroleum. is
to determine. There are some authorities
who hold that steam will eventually prove
the more effective and economical means OF
propulsion, whereas, if we inspect the
motors now in existence, we find that pc
troleum is more generally used, because it
enables the engineer to produce "a lighter
machine than is possible under present con-
ditions with steam, and because the cost of
running petroleum motor is compare
lively small. With regard to the cost of
an auto-car, it appears that none Of the
more useful horseless carriages can now be
obtained under something like Sl,26O.
Even with such large preliminary outlay,
1t Is possible for such n carriage to convey
passengers at u very moderate charge.
There is no doubt, moreover that the first
cost of machine would diminish rs the
demand for it increased. The sum expended
in the production of any single sample ma
chine is. of course, out OF all proportion to
the cost of one Of multitude of similar
machines. Among the horseess carriages
already constructed, and which command
the high price just mentioned arc
phaetons, victorias, four-wheeled dog-carts,
and private omnibuses. There are also
motor tricycles and bicycles which, of
course, are much less expensive. A tricycle.
manufactured in France weighs 80 pounds
and costs $500; it is propelled by motor
which is adapted to the rear axle; the
frame, which is made of aluminium. has IA
reservoir FOR the oil, of which about three
quarts are carried The weight which this
machine will sustain is 23O pounds, and
the distance which can be covered without
refilling the reservoir varies from forty-fve
to sixty miles. the variation being due to
the condition of the road, the strength of

As to the likelihood that horseless car
rlages will eventually come into common
use, there are no doubt numbers OF persons
who Insist that the motor will always be
inferior to the horse, just as there were once
numbers of persons who preferred the coach
to the steam engine Mr.. Lone reminds us,
however, that start can be made with a
motor carriage in avery few minutes; that
1t requires neither stable, litter. nor grain;
and that, Us in the case Of an ordinary
petroleum engine, it may or may not re-
quire much attention, according to its con-
struction, to the ability and care OF Its
owner and of the man employed to clean 1t,

average buyer of an auto.car would
not necessarily be compelled to re-

practice, Mr.. LoNG has found that
an ordinarily intelligent man can he placed

sorts of work, without any especial train
ing, and the same thing should be true of
the workman hired by the average owner of
horseless carriage. 1t is, perhaps, the
physician who would derive the greatest
benefit from an auto-car. He would not be
forced to take servant with him upon his
rounds. nor to keep, as doctors with large
practices are often compelled to do, num-
Der of horses in order that they may cover
the long distances that they are obliged
to traverse. In largo towns, where stabling
is expensive. considerable item would
be stricken off the annual expenditure
Butchers, bakers, and other tradesmen
would find the horseless carriages profitable
for the conveyance Of their goods as well as
Of themselves. Apart, indeed, from those
persons who might not be able to purchase
n motor, but who find horse essential to
their business, there are practically no indi-
vduals who would not reap considerable
benefit from the substitution Of auto-cars
for horscless carriages Prolonged journeys
could be taken upon far less costly terms
and there is reason to believe that railway
travelling would be largely reduced. At all
events. should horseless carriages come into
general use, they might compel the railway
companies to adopt lower scale Of fares.
