CAN IT STAND THE PRESSURE?


This week we shall have an oppor-
tunity of seeing just how much back
bone John Edward Addicks possesses
lie claims a great deal and some OF
his past actions in politics have war
ranted him in 30 doing But now
comes the crucial test.
Repeatedly within the past few
weeks he has asserted that nothing
would induce him to withdraw his
electors He told the regular Repub
licans OF Delaware so, and when he
went to New York a short time ago he
told National Chairman Mark A.
Hanna the same thing.
Now the Regular Republican State
Central Committee has been author
lied by William G. spruance. Of New
Castle county, and Manlove Hayes, o
Kent county. the two regular Republi-
can Presidential electors, to make
proposition to the two Addicks cleo
tors, or the Addicks State Centra
Committee, that they viii withdraw i
Messrs. Shaw and Wilson, the Addick
electors, will do the same, in favor o
a compromise electoral ticket to b
named by the National Committee and
pledged to Mckinley and Hobart.
The whole truth OF the matter
that the regular Republicans, VIII
know that they have the ear OF bot
Mckinley and Hanna, are exceedingl
anxious 70 be instrumental in givin'
the electoral vote OF Delaware to tn
Silent Man of Canton, well knowing
that they will have the control an
benefit OF whatever patronage come
to Delaware in event OF the election o
the ST. Louis candidate. Now they ar
endeavoring to use Addlcks as cat
paw to draw their Federal chestnut
from the factional fire.
The gas man declares that his con
vention at Dover was regular in ever
respect, and that the one helda George
town was irregular. II this be true
why should he withdraw his el0ctor
when, by so doing, he would be play
ing into the hands OF the very nae
who are seeking to destroy him politi
cally?
Addicks may rest assured that an
overtures coming from the regular
cover selfish motives, and can be OF n
earthly benefit to him.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
COOPERATION.

Il is often said that with the dying
out of the generation full of enthusi
asm which started the co-operativ
movements, we must expect to see it
languish and decline. SO far there are
no signs of decrepitude or decayin
belief in the might and efficacy of the
principles OF cooperation. IL is to the
,honor Of the early cO-operators tha
from the first they dwelt upon the ne
cessity of promoting education and the
higher interests Of the working classes
This spirit has not died out. Tn
speakers at the National Co-Operativ
Festival insisted that these gather
ings not merely extended a knowle0g
OF their business principles, but also
fostered a love of good music, favore
horticulture, and spread the senti
ment of fraternity among all classes
of cooperation" The dominant not
in all the recent literature and
speeches on the subject is one of warn
ing aginst the spirit of dividend
hunting. The true cO-OperatOr is not
TO make a loss But he is eXh0rted to
dread even more making large profits
by questionable eXpedients What il
still more surprising is that the so
cieties in which this spirit of philan-
thropy is strongest are not the leas
successful in a business point Of view
