RETWEEN ME LINES

Harken to the lugubrious wall Of the
Milford Chronicle:
No future political trickster, whether
he be native-born or stran-
ger within our gates, must be permitted
TO insult the dignity OF the people OF
Delaware, or curtail their fullest liberty
OF civil or political choice. Once this
state was humiliated IN national con-
vention and her duly elected delegates
robbed of their seats. The same influ-
ences that accomplished that shameless
act are still at work both here and
abroad TO coerce, to threaten, to seduce
the voters Of theUnion Republican party
from this contest OF principle and to
compel them to accept party Organi-
zatlon not OF their own, creating, and
leaders who are still fresh from other
unholy alliance with the Democrats OF
Delaware.
The first sentence of this editorial is
a direct slap in the face of j. Edward
Addicks. The second sentence partakes
OF the character Of sour grapes, while
in the third and last, one can perceive
between the lines the most abject feai
Of the disintegration and dissolution o.
the Union Republican party.

EFFICACY OF sANITATION.


1t is an interesting commentary, in
deed, on the general growth of conf
dence in public ability TO suppress the
most virulent of epldemics under mod
ern conditions OF hygiene and SANTA
tion that the appearance of the once
dreaded fever in Northern ports has for
years past practically ceased to be re-
garded as a possibility. New York has
net been visited by the yellow plague
since 1878, though in the two preceding
centuries the fever had broken out no
fewer than sixty-three different times.
A visitation of IL now would be looked
on almost as a miracle-so stringent
and multiplied are the safeguards
which have been devised to bar its en-
try in recent years.
The gulf ports. no doubt, with their
handicaps of semi-tropical climate and
of traditional indifference to sanitation,
will reman open to its ravages so long
as trade relations are maintained with
such plague breeding hotbeds as Ha-
vana and Vera Cruz. The introduction
from Cuba OF the fever germs which
were developed this Summer at Ocear
Springs is, indeed, evidence that a loop
hole still exists at some gulf city 10y
which the insidious infection can en-
ter, and that cnly unremitting vigi
lance can protect the South from re
curing invasions of the plague whicl
has so often stricken her population.
Doubtless as a result of the presen
outbreak thai looDhole will be discov
cred and closed. But it is to be hope
that the course Of the epidemic will no
too sweepingiy and fatally emDhasiz
the fuility Of repairing the imperfec
barrier after the invader has alread,
slipped unchallenged through it
