DEAR MADAM:
hope you will excuse this tardy reply to your
letter 1t IS often impossible for me by any means
keep pace with my correspondents l must take
leave to that if there is any general feeling on the
part OF the intelligent Jewish people that have done
them what you describe as great wrong they
are tar less sensible, far less just and far less
good tempered people than have always supposed
them to be. Fagn, in ''Over Twist, is Jew be-
cause it unfortunately of the time to which
that story refers that that class of criminals almost
invariably was Jew. But surely no sensible man
or woman OF your persuasion can fail to observe
firstly that all the rest of the wicked dramatis per-
some are Christians; and, secondly that he is called

1t Is not only natural but just that
proof should be demanded by the public,
for every statement or claim that is made
to the public. When therefore, It is as
serted that a certain article is not only
pure and palatable, and a most delight

qualities almost invaluable for the hu-

DR.. william T. Cutter state chemist of
Connecticut says: "Dufy's Pure Malt
Whiskey contains no deleterous or in

as well as scientific mode Of manufacture

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
THE ATTACK BY sPoILsMEN

THE ATTACK BY SPOILSMEN.
It is the standing argument Of spoils
politicians that if the spoil of office
were not held up as a reward for po-
litical activity, our people would lose
their interest in public affairs and po-
itical parties could no longer exist; in
other words, that while in England in
Germany, in France, in Italy, in Bel
gium, in Switzerland, the people can
keep up their interest in public affairs,
and political parties can exist without
there being any offices as party spoil,
the Americans are such a lot Of merce-
nary wretches that they will become in
different to the welfare and honor Of
their country unless they have official
salaries as rewards in prospect. Have
the American people ever been insult
ed with more calumnious aspersion?
If this were true, then it would be time
for the great American republic to go
into bankruptcy and TO put its affairs
into the hands of receiver. It's moral
vitality would be gone. Nor can the
young men of the Republican party re-
sent and repel too sharply the opprO-
brious imputation cast upon them by
the League of Republican Clubs. There

contributed to the success" of their
party, make haste to urge that party
to dishonor itself by a Reputation of
its pledges for their personal advan-
tage. But nothing is more certain than
that the mercenary crowd forms. in
deed, a noisy, but only a very small mi
nority Of the American people, and
that the true youth of Amer
lea, alive to their ideals Of free gov
ernment and of national honor and
greatness, will be foremost in denoun-
cling the outrage committed in their
name by the League of Republican
Clubs as one of the most disgraceful in

THE EASTERN sIruAr1oN

The sympathy Of the vast majority
is felt for Greece in her war against
Turkey. OF course the theological area
is long past, but nevertheless there is
justly a very strong feeling every
where in the Christian atmosphere
against the Turk because he is a Mo-
hammedan butcher" But a better
reason than that exists for the sympa-
thy with Greece. In this struggle she
stands for modern civilization, for lib
erty, as against medieval corruption
and tyranny. Had the powers held
their hands off, most of the islands
contiguous to Greece would have long
ago been liberated by their own valor
from the Turkish bond, Crete among
them. Their population is largely
Greek. and their hatred of the sultan's
rule is as intense as it is well justified.
The present insurrection in Crete Is
the ninth since the island came into
possession of the Turks In 1869. Dur
ing these two centuries and more Tur-
key has been to Crete what Spain has
been to Cuba-a cruel, corrupt and
plundering despot. Insurroction has
been followed by promises of reform
in one case as in the other and always
the promises from Turk and Spaniard
have been broken. In 1928 the islands
which revOlted won their independ-
ence as truly as did Greece. Their
cause was common with hers; but
while she was permitted to be free
they were handed back to the Turkish
oppressor.
Whether this war shall result in the
separation of these islands from the
Turkish empire or not, in the nature OF
things that separation must ultimately
occur. The aspirations of the Greek
people will in the end conquer all OBJ
stacles. This war is but one phase OF
an irrepressible national movement
Reverting to the Congress Of Berlin, il
1878, Sir Charles Dixie, writing in tn,
North American Review, indicates
what should be the outcome of the hos
tilities that have broken out since h,
wrote. He says that had the powers
been in earnest in their desire to coerc'
Turkey to bring about better govern
ment of its empire, it was in tn
Greek Islands Of the Archipelago tina
coercion might most safely have beei
begun. The dangers of a partition o
continental Turkey are great, and Il
his mind should suffice to prevent tn
operation.

TRAVELLING IN THE WEST.

Mr.. and Mrs. William NJ. Field and
Miss Field, of Wilmington's pretty sub

Southern California. Until April 29
they were the guests of Rev. and Mrs.
Isaac Jewell at the Methodist parson-
age at Santa Ana. They left Los An
geles last Saturday on their way to
Alaska to spend the Summer. Mr.
Field is in excellent health, and states
to a friend that is is enjoying this tour
more than any trip of his life. He
found Mr.. Jewell actively engaged in
the pastorate of one of the most enter
prising and Jealous Methodist churches
in the West.

NOT A CALAMITY HowLER.

I. N. Mills, ex-Superintendent Of the
Delaware railroad, is somewhat Of an
authority on peaches and small fruits,
and the good part of 1t is that he is not
a calamity bowler A few days ago the
word was sent out that the strawber-
ries and peaches had been killed by the
late frosts. Mr. Mills has made an ex-
animation OF the conditions existing,
and has had the advantage of all the
facilities afforded by the railroad for
gathering information. His finding is
anything but discouraging, so far as
Delaware is concerned. He says that in
Delaware the strawberry crop will be a
full one, as the plants we're not in
bloom, and consequently the fruit could
sustain no damage from the frosts. In
his opinion the crop Tor the Peninsula
will exceed that OF 1896, when 14,7SO,-
600 quarts were marketed. He does not
expect a full crop of peaches, for the
simple reason that we have had two
heavy crops in succession, and the trees
have made but little new wood. In
1896 the yield was 100000 baskets,
and last year 1t was 3,513OOO baskets.
II Is but natural that the trees should
take a year off and that the crop will
not be large. But we must remember
that large crops do not always pay the
best. The worst enemy the fruit grower
has is a glutted market. He may not
have any fruit, and yet he knows ex-
actly where he stands in a financial
sense; but let him and all his neigh
bors have full crop, and the markets
become so glutted that the fruit, in
stead of being a source OF revenue, is
often source of expense. as it does not
bring the cost Of picking and market
ing It.
We prefer to take the estimate Of Mr..
Mills TO that of the calamity howler,
for he is a man who is not carried away
by every rumor OF Peninsular disaster
coming from no one knows where, but
generally accepted by the public as
carrying with it the germ OF truth. We
congratulate our peach and berry grow.
ers upon the good fortune which awaits
them.

two or three weeks ago. There is
nothing especially surprising in this,
for 1t was such an unwise measure
that we wonder that it ever passed the
House. If it meant anything at all it
was that all game in the State of Della

have been entitled an act for the ex-
termination Of game. We congratulate
