EDITORIAL COMMENT

The height of cruelty is undoubtedly
the practice of smOthering a beefsteak
in onions. We do not believe the lob
ster broiled alive or the crab thrown
into scalding water suffers for long
time; the shock is immediate and fatal
But think Of a steak condemned TO
such a lingering death, struggling in
vain against the lethal pungency.-

The public welfare is OF greater i'm
portance than that of any man. In
Delaware to-day Republicanism and
Addicks.sm stand hand in hand close
ly allied in an assault on the best in
terests Of the people. Opposed to them
is the Democratic party. 1t condemns
the alliance and stands ready to fight
1t. Every true Delawarean is opposed
to the domination of Addicks and Nd
dicksism, and it follows that the No

other well-earned defeat TO the adven-
turer and his followers. Delawareans

because OF their own failure to grasp
previous opportunities see that they
will be shut out, and when partisan
passion and prejudice are at fever heat,
it will require the wisest counsels at
the registration places to prevent vio-
lent demonstrations on the part Of
those who are disappointed and Of their
interested friends. No man who failed
to get registered is entitled TO pubic
sympathy. There has been ample op-
portunity, and if it has not been taken
advantage of, it is the fault Of the In
dividual and not due in any sense to

1t is astonishing that with all the
care which the Union Republican COM
mittee and its lawyers exercised in the
preparation OF their certificate OF nomi-
nations to the clerk of the peace of
this county they should have made a
blunder in the name Of one of the best
known citizens of the county. Samuel
M. Knox has been residing in Will
mington for many years, during which
time he HAS been engaged in business
and politics which brought him. with
more or less prominence, before the
people. and in close touch with the
Union Republican leaders; and yet they
certify to the nomination OF Samuel
N Knox dor senator In the First dis
trict OF this county. Now 1t is too late
10 make a correction, IL they desired
to do so, and as Samuel N. Knox" it
must go on the official ballot. What
the effect will be upon MIR. Knox is an
other question and one which the
courts must decide should the question
be carried that far. Some persons are
30 charitable as TO say that It was a
clerical error. Others less charitable,
declare that it was intentional. We
prefer to take the former view. Mr..
Knox is an anti-Addicl1s man, It is
true, and would vote for a Democrat
for United States senator before he
would vote for j. Edward Addicks, but
then he is but one of a number OF the
Regular Republican legislative nomi-
nees in this county who feel that same
bitterness towards the gas man, and
there is no reason witty the Addicks-
ties should discriminate against him
and let the obhers so. Still, Samuel n
Knox is not Samuel M. Knox, and II the
Addicksites want to be on the safe side
they must instruct their voters to take
pen. and ink and strike out the name
appearing on their ballot and insert tn,
name appearing on the Regular Repub
lican ballot. 1t would simplify matters
to instruct their voters to vote th'
Regular Republican ticket, but tina
would never do, because the Addicks
tics are going TO try to make a bii
showing in New Castle this time, evei

Day by day the power Of the press is
becoming recognized more and more.
A clever demonstration OF this was
made in the recent conference between
the United States army officers and the
chisfs OF the Pillager Indians on Bear
Island. Before negotiations we're en-
tered into the chief OF the Pillagers
asked how many newspaper corre-
spondents were present. He was told
that but one was there, but that several
others were with the troops, probably
half days march removed from uhe
place OF conference. He was not salts
fed and told the representatives Of the
Federal government that he and his
companions wanted all Of the news
paper men present, because he desired
to tell the american people his side
OF the story. Finding that his request
would not be complied with, but being
assured that the newspaper man who
was present would, upon his return TO
camp, tell those who were absent from
the conference, he agreed to proceed,
and the satisfactory results Of the ne
gotiations are matters OF recent history
in connection with our dealings with
the noble red man.

LAWYER Hay s. STATEMENT
TELLS HOW THE MISTAKE WAS
MADE IN THE NAME OF SENA-
TORdAL CANDIDATE KNOX.


Walter H. Hayes, who filed the Union
Republican ticket, says:
Il prepared and. filed the certificate
Of nominations and the mistake is a
mere clerical error. The certificate of
nomination for the county ticket was
compared twice with that of the Regu-
lars, which was made up from this.
The comparison was made by George
A. Elliott and myself, and neither Of US
saw the error. Several members of
both Of the Republican parties were
present at the time and saw the paper
which was filed, and none Of them no
ticed the error.
AS matter Of law a man only has
two names, his surname and his Chris
tian name. The middle letter is no
part of it. The intention was to nomi-
nate Samuel NJ. Knox, and he is the
only man nominated. This is manifested
by the certificate itself, which says:
For the office of senator In the
General Assembly from senatorial dis
trict, No. l, Of New Castle county,
Samuel N. Knox, residing at No. 1907
Pennsylvania avenue, in the city of
WllmlhSlOu.
He is the only Samuel Knox resid-
ing in the district, and it is Samuel NJ.
Knox who resides at the place named"
In the last election a similar case oc-
CURED. The name of James G.. Shaw
appeared on one Of the Republican
tickets as James G.. Shaw, and on the
other as James G. Shaw, Sr. The votes
cast for James G. Shaw and James G.
Shaw, Sr., were counted for the same
man, there being no doubt of the in
tention Of the voter. Similar cases
have frequently occurred and have al
ways been decided in the same way.
George A. Elliott, who prepared the
Regular Republican certificate, said:
I'm preparing the certificates, Mr..
Hayes and l worked together each on
his own certificate. When completed
We compared them by each holding his
certificate and reading it. There was
no mistake noticed. 1t was a clerical
error, which crept in, and was certain
iy not Intentional"

PHYSICAL CONDITIONS IN ENG
LAlyD.

According to The Statesman's Year
Book for 1897, the number of paupers
in receipt of relief in 1892 was 95l. .375.
at an expenditure of e1O,S14 91G. The
number receiving relief in 1896, only
four years later. was 1,O25 1854, at an
expenditure of Ell, ,91O,924. In addition
to this large majority of the chill
dren Of England, instead OF being rear
ed in the open cOuntr-T, under the dome
Of heaven, are being huddled in crowd
ed towns, under a pail of factory
smoke, among the soot-be-grimed walls
of narrow courts and alleys paved WITH
cinders, without blade of grass or a
green leaf to be seen. The foul air
and crowding in ill-ventilated houses
must be affecting the physique and
stamina OF the race and the day will
soon come, if it has not yet come, when
England, in defending her national ex-
istence. viii no longer be able to rely
upon a great rural population of the
type Of those yeomen who drew the
long bow at Cressy, ,Poicitiers, and Agin-
court, or of those farmers sons and
village lads who in their solid squares
hurled back the pride of France in our
last great struggle at Waterloo.
An Englishmau cannot appreciate
the intensely depressing effect Of the
manufacturing districts upon the Ca
madam tourist. Accustomed, as we are,
to the clear, pure atmosphere and
bright, blue skies of our native land,
the Black Country of England seems
unnatural and uncanny, reminds one OF
the Internal regions and arouses sad
sympathy for the poor human beings
who have to live under such conditions.

that the prophecy of the historian
Froude. written a dozen years ago, was
being rapidly fulfilled. Speaking ofthe
crowding into manufacturing towns, he
said:
'The native vigor of our tempera-
ment might defy the influence of such a
life for a quarter or for half a CEN
tury. Experience, even natural prcba'
Ibility, declared that the grandchildrer
of the occupants OF these dens must be
siclSly, poor, stunted wretches, whom
no school teaching, however excellent
could save from physical decrepitude.
