F1cKLENEss OF FATE

A few years ago two of Delaware's
young men were admitted to the Bar
at the Capital on the same day and
with equal advantages for success.
They were clever, affable and obliging.
They made friends and were successful
80 far as obtaining money was con-
cerned. Neither became noted as an
advocate ora counsellor but they were
successful with Legis lators and arose
to political leadership. They were
both taken with Addicks's possibili les
as promoter and speculator upon his
advent at the Capital. They were of
his lobby in securing from the Della.
ware Legislature in 1889 the charter
BY which he manipulates gas stock.
Some call it robbery. One was the
confidential attorney and legal advisor
of the central figure while he was using
other peoples money to deal In AID,
dicks's gas stock. The other had an
interest in those secret speculations.
They had helped Addicks to legal
robbery of others and they became
themselves the victims of his manipu.
lations Of Bay State Gas. The one is
honored by the representatives of the
people and sits in the highest legisla-
tive body In the world. For that
reason the impression has grown he
has been dealt lightly with. As 10
any legal guilt We have no opinion and
have not the least personal or political
prejudice, and certainly no malice aud

to greet him afree man, and there were

NAr1oNAL EXPORT EXPOSITION

NATTONAL EXPORT EXPOSITION
The TRANSCRIPT offers upon It's
Rrst page this week an article descript-
i've Of the Philadelphia Exposition,
with illustrations, all showing the
magnitude Of the undertaking. 10
the citizens Of Delaware it will afford
AN opportunity to examine and COM
mare the manufactures and products OF
the country suitable for exports second
only to the great educational occasion
Of the Centennial. To Wilmington OF
whose varied interests and industries
every Delawarean is justly proud this
Exposition will afford an opportunity
for a display of the superior skill ana
workmanship of her mechanics, and IL
must bring to the city an increased
trade. Foreign buyers will attend,
10000 business houses in foreign coun'
tries have been invited to send repre-
sentatives to the Exposition.
II the Exposition had no additional
attractions-and there are many-tne
one of increased and permanent export
trade would pay the great cost OF labor
of holding this exhibit. On this line
the Exposition Bulletin" says: MANY
persons labor under the erroneous I'M
preston that our export trade is but a
makeshift, q temporary expedient des-
tined to fill its appointed day and then
die out. A more serious mistake could
not well be imagined. Our export trade
is contemporaneous with our history
II began with our beginning and has
grown steadily with our growth. IL Is
a part of our economic existence and 1t
is not reasonable to suppose that it will
ever die out 80 long as we preserve ouI
national and economic existence. 1t
is destined to expand to more yigor-
GUS development in harmony with our
national growth and enlightenment.
"As the world grows older and ciVili-
zation spreads over the more backward
portions OF the earth the peoples now
in darkness must join the march OF
progress or give place to more vigor-
GUS races who are capable of evolving
into a higher state Of being. As this
evolution progresses and the teeming
millions Of the Orient are brought more
and more within its sway there will be
an eyergrowing demand for the pro-
ducts Of our Western civilization, and
happy will 1t be for us IL we are able
to meet that demand fully and intelli-
gently as BELTS the most enlightened
Nation on the earth.
1.-THE National Export Exposition
stands as a great instructor to the exI
porter, offering him freely knowledge
of incalculable value in his effort to
supply the wants Of earth's myriads
who are strangers to the fruits of his
intelligence and skilled industry. 1t
is well known that the home market is
subject to fits of dullness and depression
and flourishing export trade comes in
as salutary corrective to preserve a
healthy condition of trade. 1t is i'm
portant that our manufactures shall
rise to the occasion and by the proper
use of advantages offered them by the
Exposition be ready for the trade
possibilities openly in our newly-ac-
quired possessions SO providentially
thrown under our care"
