Il is a source of extreme pleasure
aud satisfaction to learn that there is
a bright prospect for the pardon OF
Colonel g. It. Cooper. who has nearly
completed his term in the prison at
Trenton for his connection with the
National Bank defalcation at Dover
The petitions for his pardon have been
numerously signed by the most promi-
nent men in the state, including law
yers. Judges and physicians. Governor
Tunnell signed the petition, as also
did all the living ex-governors Of the
state.-Sussex Countian.
II Addicbs did really telegraph to
President Mckinley that the appoint
ment Of William Michael Byrne would |
mean the sure defeat Of the national
Republican ticket in Delaware, why
then it looks even more than ever as
il the administration didn't look upon
Addicks' promises. pledges and proph-
ecyings as being worth shucks.-Doyer

But. says the reformer, the party
promised at st. Louis to defend and
extend the merit system and Presi-
dent Mckinley said he stood upon theI
platform. This is true as preaching,
but the adoption OF the civil service
n plank at St. Louis was a perfunctory
performance intended like the dec
laration IN favor OF international BIZ
metalllsm. TO catch or hold a few
votes of which it was supposed there
(. would be great need. Someone offered
the plank in the committee room. No
one objected and without any discus
sion or consideration in the conven-
ton It was accepted.-Milford Chroni-

Il was never intended that the Irish
r Roman Catholic Republicans IN the
upper part OF the state should know
what was being told about Irish Rol
man Catholics, and It was not intend
! ed that the people or Sussex SHOULD
r. know that there was such an anima
IA extant as an Irish Roman Catholic
Republican. This controversy, due t
