The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1898-03-31

President Mckinley deserves thanks for
his efforts to settle the difficulties between
our country and Spain without resort to
war. Many Of our citizens may censuro
him for his patience and for5earanee un'
der the circumstances, but war is likely
to load to such heavy losses of life and
property that it should not DO engaged IN
60 long as it Is possible to avoid it without
tiishonor. Tho President had better be
little behind public opinion than ahead of
IT. He should not, at any rate, take the
responsibility of declaring war. 1t is bet
ter that he should follow, rather than try
to lead public opinion If Congress should
take The initiative and reverscs should fol-
low, the President could not reasonably be
censured for the same. II Congress shall
declare war, the President would douht!ejs
feel that great responsibility had been
lifted from his shoulders We, therefore.
must commend his conservative course
and condemn the disposition of some of
our countrymen to find fault with him.
The Presldent may be a little slow, but it
is best to go slow when such momentous
questions as peace and war are involved, as

What Was the Reason?

Take the sad ending and tragic death OF
Laura Booth, who was found dead Sunday
in New York, with u pistol lying by her
side with which she is supposed to have
killed herself, and therei is in lisa sad les
son to learn. This woman was the daugh-
ter Of minister. She was reared In
religious atmosphere, brought up with
every good instinct taught her and was
accustomed to tread the path that leads
TO happiness and o reward in the world to
come. She besmirched the stage and not
thD stage, herself. She was an Intelligent
girl, brought up with the evils Of this life
always before her mind. She was associa.
he'd with religiousiy inclined and God
fearing people. She had been married
twice and as often divorced, and then be-
came infatuated with married man with
whom she had been living as his wife.
She knew she was not doing what had
been taught her at her mothers knee, and
BY her sorrowing father from the pulpit
Surely her parents have had their cup OF
bitterness running over. Her sister jose
phine foolishly spoiled her life by running
away from Wilmington, where her parents
then resided, with married man. Is 1t
any credit to parent to bring I'D his chill
aren and then have them turn out as have
two of the Booth girls. While engaged in
saving others, who, perhaps have never
had religious training or congenial in
fuences, his cup Of happiness is dashed
from his lips by tho actions of his way
ward children, who were fair to look
upon. well educated and given every lux
ury that u minister is supposed to have in
keeping with his calling and position.
, How can you account for such actions on
the part of women whose lines should
have been those of happiness aud Il credit
to themselves and parents who brought
them into this wicked world.

A STATE PRISON SENSATION.
Thought Prisoners Had Escaped and
Fired at a Fleeing Garbage.

1uouRnb f-risOnerb Hbu ESCAPED &nU
Fired at q Fleeing Carriage.
Trenton, March sl.-The officers on
duty at the Nav Jersey State prison
were thrown into CONSERVATION last
night by a report that two inmates of
the prison had scaled the wall. A car
riage at the time was seen driving
away from the prison, which was sup
posed to have contained the escaped
convicts. An order to halt was ignored,
and Officer George Smith fired five
shots. The horse was killed and the
inmates of the carriage escaped, but
whether any of them were hit Is I'M
known. Subsequently a count OF the
inmates of the prison showed that none
of the prisoners were missing.
The horse and carriage were identi-
fed by local liveryman as one he had
hired to two young men, but the hats
which were lost by the men running
away are not those belonging to the
men who hired the carriage. 1t is be-
lieved that the horse and carriage was
stolen from those who hired it, and
this accounts for the failure of the
men to stop when ordered by the Of
ficers.
