Mr. Upson's train arrived at San Fran

AN EDITOR FROM TURKEY.

|
REV Fl BARNUM, OF CoNsTANTINOPLE
The Rev Ell. S. Barnum, who has beef
for 30 years missionary to Turkey ant
Armenia, has returned to this countr,
for an extended visit, and is now in Dan
bury where he will visit many relatives
and friends.
Mr. Barnum is a native of Stratford
but his father, Samuel Barnum, was s
native of Bethel, and belonged to one o.
the branches of the original Barnun
family,
Mr. Barnum left Constantinople or
June l, and arrived in this country or
the 18th, and will remain in the United
States about one year. His last previ-
Gus visit was in 1888 and 1884, at which
time he also visited Danbury and preach.
ed in both the First and Second Congre-
gatonal churches. In % years, he has
been in the United States only about Is
months.
Since his return to Constantinople af-
| ter that visit his work has been that of
editor of weekly religious newspaper,
published in the Armenian tnG Turkish
languages, issued by the American
Board. The name of this paper, trans
lated into English is 1.-THE Good News
Bringer." He also edits an illustrated
monthly for children, and many tracts
and books.
In this work he has been very closely
confined to the city of Constantinople,
allowing only occasional visits to near
by cities, during the ID years past.
Previous to his last visit to this coun-
try Mr. Barnum was engaged in the
regular missionary work, being stationed
at Harpoot and Ban, in the interior, so
that he has during almost his entire life
work, been in the active foreign mission
work.
It will thus be seen that he has been at
| close range acquainted with all the great
events and troubles which have occurred
in that country in late years, up to and
including the war with Greece. He was
in Constantinople the week that Gen
Miles arrived there. He did not care,
however, to say anything about the po.
litical situation, but expressed the hope
that there would be no more general
massacres, and the belief that there
would speedily be better days in Turkey
Mr. Barnum was a graduate of Yale
university, in the class of 1862, with l.
P. Treadwell, of this city. He planned
his arrival in this country in time to at
tend the 35th annual reunion, having
never attended one of those events in the
35 years since his graduation. OF ion
members of the class 10 are living ant
exactly 30 were present at the Both re
union.
In speaking Of his editorial work, il
was evident there is q wide difference
between that work in Turkey and in this
country. In that country, previous tt
the issue of an edition the paper has tt
be read by the press censor, when every
thing Objectionable to the government il
cut out. The censor does not, however
put him to any needless trouble, and al
the editor, Mr. Barnum, understands
pretty we'll what will be allowed ant
what will not, there are many weeks
when not even word is cut out.-[D Dan
bury News] Mr. Barnum is a brother o.
Mrs w. B. Sniffen of Sandy Hook.

THE CONVENTION GOING BACKWARDS.

Editor The Gazette: The Consti-
tutional Convention seems to be going
backwards instead of forwards.
Delaware was ahead of the other
Stntes in taking the veto power from
the Governor. The veto power is a
relic of the old Colonial Governors, to
act as a check on the Colonial Legisla-
lures, and ought to be discarded from
our country We profess that the
majority shall rule, but the veto power
does away with the rule of the
majority. 1t is true the Governor might
not veto every bill that is passed, but
the majority cannot pass any bill with
nut his consent. The phrase hasty
legislation is mere catch word.
There is as much reason for tine veto
power against the repeal Of law, as
against its enaction, but believe no
one has been bold enough to propose
this.
In the matter Of citizenship it might
be well to declare what constitutes a
citizen OF the State and then leave the
whole matter of suffrage to the Legis-
lature. This IL matter that should
not be too hard to alter.
In regard to trial by jury, it might
be well to say trial by jury shall be
as heretofore.'' but give to the Legisla-
ture the power to fix the qualifications
of the jurors.
The small district system Is not the
best for our State: the counties are
small enough districts Gamma.

The Sussex Kepu blicmn Resents the MORN
ing News Endorseinent of the Addicks
scheme. ~ ss M
sussex Republican, April 8d.
The Morning News should be more
careful in tsuttorances. If that paper
ia opposed to Addicka and Addickism
1t should not endorse schemes invented
by that gentlemen's paid attorneys for
tho purposes best known to themselves.
No fraud has been provon in Sussex
county and the matter is almost for
gotten down here, and the very parties
who were SO successful in unearthing
this peculiar transaction now have the
least to ray about it No one believes
there existed any collusion between the
Regular Republicans and the Demo-
cratic officials, and as the discrep-
nncies occur in the very districts which
were excluaively composed OF Union
Republicans and Democrats, and fraud
seems impossible Without a conspiracy
on the part of both Of them, 1t is hard
to explain how this shortage occurred.
without duplicating these very same
Union Republican electiop officers, and
no one believes they would cheat them
selves out of any votes. Besides some
OF these very officials do not hesitate to

that fraud could 'havBf been committed

which it originated. The count in

or on the Thursday following when
they were returned and properly certi-
| fled to by every member Of the Board
of Canvass in the presence of a sheriff,
who is Union Republican and too
ahrewd man to permit fraud to be
committed under his very nose. But the
end is not yet. and some people who
are now gloryinR in their smartness,
may be called upon to explain some
very peculiar transactions OF which they
are known to have aniple knowledge.
In the face of these facts, which are
we'll known to the editor of the Morn
ing News as well as TO any person who
has an intimate knowledge of the cleo
| tion laws OF Delaware, We would re-
spectfully advisethat editor TO go slow.

will be doubted.
