THE BOGGS OEFALCATION CASE.

This seems one of the cases that will
not down at the bidding. After the
astonishment at the first announce
ment that the First National Bank of
Dover had been looted of $1O7, 600,
there was a hush, smothered cOndi-
ton, like that which precedes vol
cano burst, that only needed some
thing to set it of, which was furnished
mington San. That paper has CON
tended that there were seven cOnspira-
tors connected with Boggs, naming
Cooper, Cole, Clark, Dickson, and fifth
John F. Salisbury, who went to Viii
mington to have the editor of the SIN,
Clement n. Congdon, arrested on the
charge of libel, but did not find him,
taking revenge in a very vehement ar
ticle i'll the Milford Hcrald in which
he lays the blame on Addicks, and
names Drs. Marshall, Moore, Grier.
Layton, Messrs. Moore and Curry. of
Sussex county, and Shaw, Conner and
Franklin of this county, Who'll he said had
checks cashed wherere they had moth
ing on deposit. DR.. Thomas c..
Moore said in an affidavit last week,
that the statement as applied to him is
untrue, that he has no use for the
National Bank of Dover and has not
drawn a check on it since he was
student at the Conference Academy.
The SUn Monday week named John ID.
| Hawkins as the 9Th man and said on
Monday, VIM. N. Boggs would name
the seventh over his own signature, in
a letter addressed to the owner of that
paper. In the Sun of Monday, Sena-
tor R. R. Kenney is named as the
seventh man, in a letter over the sigma
ture of w. N. Boggs.
The SIM in asserting upon the
authority of Mrs. w. n. Boggs that
John F. Salisbury owes her $11OO,
contends that it is not actuated by pol
itics, and says:
Mr.. Salisbury makes grave charges
against the integrity of j. Edward Ad-
dicks and other prominent leaders of
the Union Republican party. If John
f. Salisbury can prove these charges,
and will prove them, he may well be
forgiven for assisting William n. BOggs
as charged
The Sun is not interested in politics
or politicians. The Sin will not be
drawn into any political controversy.
In the matter of the First National
Bank robbery, the Sun stands ready
! and willing to prove each assertion it
has made. By a singular coincidence
the five men already named by the Sun
as having directly or indirectly made
this robbery possible, are Democrats.
| The owner of the SEN was not aware of
this fact
If Mr.. Salisbury will furnish the SIM
with such documents and other evil
dence he may have, tending to prove
that other men, Republicans or other
wise, elso assisted William n. Boggs
in looting the First National Bank, Of
Dover, the owner of this paper will
bend every energy to prove their guilt.
Let it be understood by Mr. Salisbury
and every other man interested that
/ the Sun recognizes neither creed nor
color, politics or ancestry in this mat
ter. A National Bank has been plum
dered.
The SIN can and will prove that at
least seven men assisted the abscOnd-
ing and defaulting teller in this rob
! berry.
The Sun has made no vague state
ments nor has it based its charges upon
| fimSV evidence.

WAR IN CUBA MUST STOP.
New York Business Men Send an Appeal
to the President.

A memorial by New York bankers
and merchants, asking President Nc
hlnley to take steps to end the war in
Cuba, was presented to the President
last week. The memorial represented
that the Cuban war already cost
American commerce $500, 900. 900 and
Is now costing not less than 500. OOO.-
600 a year.
They spoke briefly on the subject of
the petition, but did not read it, as
Mr.. Mckinley said that it should be
presented to the State Department.
The memorial was later placed on file
at the department.
1t is considered to be one of the
most serious expressions of public feel
ing that has been made in this country
with regard to Cuban affairs, and it is
likely to make profound impression
upon the President under the present
circumstances.
August Belmont & Co., Lawrence
Turnure & Co., and other bankers of
the same standing, and such firms as
MOsle Bros, James E. Ward & Co.,
and about hundred other gentlemen
have signed the document.
They said that prior to 1895 our i'm
ports from Cuba averged $50, 900, 900
year and our exports $25, 900, 900. In
1896 they declared that these figures
had dwindled to $4,000, 900 imports
and S., 1000, 600 exports.
In eloquent words the signers de-
scribed the awful state of devastation
III which the war had already plunged
Cuba in 1896. Famine stalked over
the island. Industry and commerce
were ruined and the population had
been fearfully depleted. Was it not
due to humanity that this condition of
things should be stopped and in the
business aspects of the matter, should
not the war be stopped on account of
the great injury it was inficting on
American property and American COM
merce? The signers did not take time
to accomplish this end. They only
said that there was but one remedy for
the evil, and that was peace for Cuba.

Do Not Want Another Convention.

In the House of Representatives at
Dover, Mr.. johnson gave notice of his
intention to introduce bill providing
for another Constitutional Convention
to revise the Constitution of our State.
What the motive of Representative
johnson in making this move may be,
is unknown beyond his declaration
that in his opinion our new Constitu-
tion is worse than the old one. We
believe, however, that few people will
coincide with him. The new Consti-
tuition is a vast improvement over the
old one, and although it is not perfect
there is no guarantee that a hun
dred conventions would secure per-
fection in our Fundamental law-it is
in very good shape, and is likely to
meet every actual requirement of our
government for at least dozen years,
without any material change.
To even suggest the holding of
another convention, right ON the heels
of the last one, is perfect nonsense, and
it is hoped the other members of the
Legislature will look upon Representa-
tive Jonnson's scheme in this light,
and treat it accordingly. Constitu-
tional Conventions are costly luxuries.

THE PENNY IN CHURCH COLLECTIONS.
Such al Offering, Except From the Poor, is
an Insult to God and His Church.

The important part which the penny
plays III the average church Offering is
known to every one who has ever been
interested in church finances, " writes
Edward w. Box in the February
Lddie$' Home JOUR0L. "And that
1t is part entirely out of proportion
to the necessities, is felt and realized bv
many church treasurer. Scores of
people who could afford to drop a
nickel or dime into the church offer
ing, content themselves by giving
penny. The feeling is either that the
smallest offering will do, or the mat
ter OF church finances is not given any
thought. There is a failure to realize
that church is the same as anv other
business institution, and it must have
money for its maintenance.
There is such a thing as too literal
an Interpretation of the phrase that
religion is free OF course, it is free.
and let us hope that it will always be
so IN this country. But to make re-
lgion free costs money-and this isn't
an Irish bull, either. There are those
to whom more than the widows mite
given to the church would mean doinr
without some absolute necessity of
life. The penny of such one is the
most welcome gift to any church, the
most noble offering which any one can
make. But from those who can give
more than a penny, and who are Civ
ing only a penny, such an Offering is
an insult to God and to His church,
and the sooner people see the matter
IN this hard, true light the better. |
am almost tempted to say that the
great majority of churches could, with
perfect Justice, rule out the penny
from their offerings Were this done
the nickel would be the prevailing Of
ferlng, and to how few persons, when
one stops to consider the question,
would such an offering be a hardship
or an impOssibility? A yearly offer
ing of two dollars and sixty cents, cal
culatlng that one attended church
one each Sunday, or twice, with one
offering of five cents, would galvanize
the church finances of this country"

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy

The Adams Tax Bill.

The committee on revenue and taxa
ton discussed last week, the proposed
amendments to the Adams tax law,
which had been submitted by John D.
Hawkins, at the request of the COM
mittee. The amendments touch upon
several points. One amendment pro-
vides that any person owning or
holding investments shall be required
to make returns, on the same footing
as corporations and firms. 1t also
makes it obligatory upon the assessors
to make requests of persons for their
returns. Another amendment permits
persons to affirm who decline to swear
to their returns. The most important
amendment provides that the Levy
Court of any of the counties of this
State may and hereby authorized and
empowered to remove from Office at
the February term any assessor in
the respective counties who fail or re-
fuse to perform the duties required of
them under the act, and also stipulates
that any assessor who has made only
q partial assessment and declines to
make it complete shall not receive any
compensation for the work he has
done. 1t further provides that the
Levy Court shall at the February term
appoint assessors to such assessors as
shall be removed, and the new assess
ors shall make return at the March
term.

The coming season will be one par
excellence of open weaves which sur
pass in boldness, anything hitherto
put upon the market. Grenadines
and etamines, because lending them
selves specially to such ideas, are in
great favor and traversed by very
heavy threads that often surrounded
open spaces, become very marked in ap-
pearance. Intervals large enough to
admit a finger tip, are seen and effec-
tive goods are woven in hemstich pat
terms that sometimes extend all over
the surface or again appear in stylish
bOrderings. OF course such fabrics
require silk Innings and pretty con-
trasts between Innings and outer ma
terials may be expected. With this in
