Chicago, March S.-Colonel Robert G.
Ingersol was much surprised yester-
day when he heard of the report about
his supposed encounter with a beggar
the night before, His manager, c. r.
Farrell, when questioned about the in
cident, said: II attended Colonel In
gersol to the theater myself, and was
with him all the time, and no one ever
accosted us. The only way | can ac-
count for the story is that somebody
was impersonating the colonel. The
colonel is accustomed to giving aims
literally, and l am sure would never
strike a beEgar."

ing at this case through the lens of justice,
equity and fair play, we arc confronted
with the interrogative, why is this case

New Castle County permit such miscar.
riugc Of justice to be ilnuntcd in their faces
and allowed to go unheeded. The Chan
cellor alone is responsible for this outrage
Gus dereliction of law, and to John II.
Nicholson will the people of this county
look for an early settlement of the case.
The surHties on tho Dougborty bond are
helpless, their business is embarrassed,
several Of their families are in want, in
one case actual distress exists and their
properties cannot be disposed of o relieve
their wants on account of the County lien.
Two of the surviving bondsmen have sus.
taincd considerable losses In having their
properties tied up.
They have applied to tho Chancellor
directly and indirectly TO bring the case
to u settlement. He has acted, not like
the peoples servant, but II master. Have
they no redress for their losses? This
case now has been in Chancery for
period of six years and they call this
justice! Delaware justice! a misnomer

cipitatod Bryanism and brought contempt

the United States. 1t is such law that
sows and nurtures tho seed of socialism.
Such fragrant violation OF the peoples
rights cannot continue much longer un.

We are not surprised at the numerous
criticisms that have appeared on this case,

They are both justiiable. 1t is unlortu-
