ton, they say, has brought about an
over production, but is this so? From
the time America was discovered until
1910, forty-four ounces OF silver were
equal to but one of gold. Year after
year the production became more
striking until now it stands at a ratio
OF l6 to 1. Therefore, can you not see
that silver is coming into greater use?
But since silver was demonetized it has
fallen, so that one ounce Of gold buys
thirty-two ounces of silver. Yet they
say we cannot create value by law
You may ask why the metals were kept

ENEMY OF CHRISTIANITY.
STRONG SERMON DELIVERED BY
FATHER M'MANUS AT ST. MARY'S.
HE ANNOUNCED THE COMING OF
THE DOMINICAN FATHERS AND
TOLD WHY THEIR PRESENCE
HERE IS A NECESSITY.

At the 1890 o'clock mass yesterday at
st. Mary's r. c. Church, Sixth and
Pine streets, Rev Father McManus an
nounced that the Dominican Fathers
would in a couple Of weeks hence begin
a mission at st. Mary's.
In speaking Of the necessity for these
missions, Father McManus drew an ef-
fective and powerful pleafor a full at
tendance. He also gave the motives for
these special services which are from
time to time held in all the parishes OF
the dioceses. AN element exists in
the church." said he, that seemingly
cannot be reached in any other way
than by the sensational. They come
with the mission and they disappear
with It," Emphasizing the fact that
while he made no personal illusions to
any one present, he nevertheless would
show the true cause why at different
periods missions become a necessity,
and the fact is caused by strong drink.
What is most needed in the city of
Wilmington at the present time is
bold, fearless and aggressive leader,
tirelessly arrayed against an evil that
is constantly growing by what it feeds
upon-the love of strong drink.
Against the saloons" Father Nc
Manus said. Il have no charge to make.
Their license permits them to do busi-
ness, but that business must be con-
Quoted properly and in a legitimate
manner. Then If not, / mean to them
all say now.
How many young men are there at
this very moment all over the city
sleeping off the regular Saturday
nights debauch? How many men Of
mature age are there doing the same
Why is it the overpowering desire for
drink cannot reach a limit until the
very shoes and clothing are dragged
from their wives and children to be
swallowed in the degradation of rum
You miss the attendance OF children at
Sunday school and wonder why il
should be so. Why should they not
gladden. us with their presence each
Sunday at all the services instead OF
being compelled not only to remain at
home shoeless, but to hear the vile
epithets, the bitter oaths and vulgar
coarse bandinage of drunk-sodden par
ents. Better, far better, such children
as yet pure and innocent, could recall
the hour of birth and died a borning
For this element. then" in conciu.
sion the reverend father said, missions
are especially held and he begged the
congregation to make it a success by
their presence" Next Sunday Father
McManus will preach again on a tenn
perance subject, taking as a text
"Strong Drink the Enemy OF Chris
tianity." Father McManus has a fine
. epigrammatic delivery, coupled with I
rich resoundant voice that holds thu
: attention Of an audience with the spell
: always accompanying these qualities e
which may be added graceful, dra
matic gesture.

Democrats had a right to use the name
National Democratic Party" After
hearing Edward Ridgely in behalf Of
the claimants OF the name and discuss
ing the matter among themselves, they
decided that the name would lead to
confusion at the polls and that some
other name must be selected. When
their decision became known to the
sound money men, most of whom live
in Wilmington, there was a general eX-
presssion Of disapproval, but, having
no redress, the cooler headed of them
decided that the best thing they could
do was to select another name within
the five days allowed by law. Some
want the name Honest Money" others
Sound Money" and others again. Ma
tionalist." The matter will be decided
by the party's committee at its next
meeting.
"The State Central Committee will
meet and select another name,' said
Thomas +. Bayard. Jr., the sound

Evening Journal reporter this morn

matter being carried into the courts"

FOR THE FOOTBALL GAME ON
THURSDAY.
The last of the series OF Municipal
Court games was played Saturday, and
the brilliant struggle was the greatest
ever seen at the chateau. The air was
clear. and the sky shone brightly blue.
Long before the hour OF the game,
crowds had gathered about the gates
clamoring for admission. Soon the
hour came and Manager Gillis ordered
the gates opened. Then the crowd, with
a yell OF "Rah, Rah, Sis Rum All.
Never Works" found seats. Play was
promptly called with the "Never
Works" at the bat. Patuliski did the
twirling for the "Terrors," and he was
knocked out OF the box. The Never
Works" scored ten runs the first in
ming and then took the field
Bull McGinty and Jonas Heck were
the battery for the "Never's," and Bull
didn't do a thing" but strike five men
out IN the first inning. The fans Yell
ed and Umpire Mulvey rushed over to
Dewey Dugan, shouting like an old

mad and then a fight began. Mulvey
started down the diamond with the
whole team, yelling like demons after
him. He made his escape over the
fence, and play was resumed once
more.
Paddy White. alias Paddy the Pig,
was called upon TO umpire, "and he's
up with the angels now" Paddy told
September Joe TO hit foul ball over
centre field fence. He did so, but hit
the catcher first. Then the real trouble
began. The catcher, whose name runs
longer than an eight-day clock, ran
after Paddy with a bat, with the Ter
rors" after him. closely followed by the
Never Works"
Before the game closed fourteen um-
pires gave decisions, and the battery
changed twenty times The Never
Works left the diamond walking like
troopers, well pleased with their day s
work September Joe will put the team
through football practice Thursday.

CONTENTION OVER SENATOR FRYE
MEN CLAIM HIM AS
THEIR SPEAKER, BUT THE REG
ULARs DECLARE THAT HE DOES
NOT COME UNDER ADDICKs' AU-
SPICES.


SPICES.
There is evidently no end Of trouble
between the Addicksites and regular
Republicans over public speakers OF
prominence ana their cpeaklng in
Delaware.
When an Evening Jou nal reporter
called at Addicks headquarters this
morning he was told by at least five
different men that Hon. Thomas b.
Reed, of Maine, would speak in Will
mington next Saturday night, and
that he would come here under Ad-
dicks auspices and that Senator Frye
would be here at later date Chair
man Wiley verified these statements,
saying that he had just received tele-
grams to that effect
News of that kind travels rapidly
from camp to camp, each side having
its friends inside the lines OF the
other.
When the reporter called at regular
Republican headquarters he twitted ex-
ChairmanBach aboutAddicksh having se-
man Bach about Addicks having Sc
cured the two star orators OF the cam
paign.
"Yes, heard OF that early this morn
ing, he said, leaning back and laugh
ing. you may say that Thomas b..
Reed will not be here at all this cam
paign, under Addiclks' auspices or any
other auspices. He can't come here.
Senator Frye will be here very shortly.
but the precise date is not yet known.
When he does come 1t will not be un-
der Addicks' auspices. He will make
two, and maybe three. speeches in
Delaware. He will certainly speak at
Dover and Georgetown, and II we can
get him TO stay over another day he
will speak In Wilmington"
