The weather conditions that prevailed
during Mondays yacht race for the
Americas Cup made the demonstra-
tion of Signor Marconi's system of
wireless teleeraphy signal triumph.
The test was complete one. in which
the system o,ercame difficulties hitherto
unsurmountable, and proved that not
withstanding fogs that obscure observa.
tion beyond few yards, Marconi's
messages will fly unerringly to the
terminal points, and convey the desired
intelligence as promptly and as ac-
curately as though clear skies and
bright sunlight enabled observations to
be taken freely with the naked eye,
Signor Marconi and his wonderful
apparatus were aboard the steamer
Grand Duchesse, which followed the
racing yachts over the entire course,
within view Of both boats from start
to finish. Bulletins were sent from the
Grand Duchesse to the shore station,
and thence to New York City, every fow
minutes. and the progress of the race
was traced accurately throughout. The
success OF the severe test was complete.
Signor Marconi has thus demon
strated that fogs have no terrors for
his system. His wireless messages
traverse them as unerringly as they
pierce an unclouded atmosphere, rs
easily as they climb over or go through
-Marconi himself has said that he
does not know which. but that they
get there''--the highest mountains.
When his messages start, they proceed
directly to their destination, no matter
what may intervene.
Truly, Sisnor Marconi's wireless
telegraphy is wonderful invention.
And what boundiess possibilities lie
before it.

As announced, District Attorney
Byrne, in the United States Circuit
Court, moved for permission to enter a
nolle prosequi in the case of United
States Senator Richard r. Kenney,
indicted 10 connection with the start
ling ,defalcation of Paying Teller Boggs
of the First National Bank Of Dover.
Permission was granted by Judge Brad
ford, and thus this famous case comes
to an end.
There will be no question of the
wisdom of the action. 10 forever hold
an indictment over citizen, and
harass him with repeated trials, in the
face of repeated failures to secure a
conviction, would be rank Injustice
aud persecution. The government twice
prosecuted Senator Kenney, and, con
WINGED of the justice of its cause,
labored earnestly to secure con-
viction, but in each instance the jury,
after a long elaboration, failed Ia
agree upon a verdict. The defendant
thus stands in the attitude of an
accused man whose guilt was moi
proven, but under the circumstances
he cannot avoid this situation. He
could not secure an acquittal, and this
government could not secure q con.
viction, and so the case will have to &C
into history.

More TREASON TO Protaotion.

Here is another brilliant tariff effusion
from the Morning News:
We are told by Democratic paper
that never thinks-only says things -
that the United States has increased its
foreign trade not because of the Ding.
ley tariff, but in spite of it.
So much the better. We are securing
a much-needed revenue and getting the
business at the same time The Demo-
Gratis are delirious just now because
their predictions that the Dingley
tariff would ruin foreign trade did not
come true.
Without the tariff the revenue taxes
of today would pale into insignificance
when compared with the increased
internal taxation that would be neces-
sary.
II the tariff is tax--and we do not
believe it is-it is unquestionably the
easiest way to pay tax. 1t is like
unto the surplus revenue of tho Water
department of this city, in support of
which our anti tariff neighbor was
most energetic last winter.
Really, reward should be offered for
q diagram which will explain what all
this means.
The tariff is tax, and 1.-THE easiest
way to pay tax is it? What treason
to protection, which insists that the
tariff is merely an imposition upon the
foreign manufacturer, TO keep him
from competing with American labor.
What an awful mix our neighbor is
in, to be sure.
Delaware gazette and state journal. (Wilmington, Del.) 1883-1902, 1899-10-19


The American League, recently or
ganized in New York City, has adopted
the following declaration Of principles:
IL. We realiirm the doctrines OF the
Declaration of Independence.
u. We believe that all others, as
we'll as we, are of right entitled to life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,
and to free opportunities of earning a
living.
g. We adhere to the American idea
that government derives its just powers
from the consent Of the governed.
a. Weare, therefore, opposed to the
use Of force in the extension of Ameri-
can institutions.
Any good citizen may safely sub
scribe to these PRINCIPLES, with due
respect to his loyalty and devotion to
the government OF the United States.
There is not the suspicion of a treason-
able sentiment in any limo of them.
And yet the imperiaists and expan-
sionists will denounce as traitors all
who may subscribe their names to this
declaration.
The reason is obvious: The man
who votes TO ''reaffirm the doctrines of
tho Declaration of Independence must
necessarily vote against tho war policy
of tine Mckinley administration. He
cannot endorse cruel and lawless war
against q people who arc fighting for
liberty and Independence, as the fathers
of the American Republic fought in
l77G.
sThe man who comedies to others the
right to life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness" cannot but look with
horror upon the policy of shooting
niggers" in tho Philippines simply
because they insist upon an enjoyment
of that right
The man who believes that govern
ment derives its Just powers from the
consent of the governed" cannot make
himself believe in government of
force in the Philippines, against the
will of the people of those islands.
Such men may be called TRAITORS
by imperialists and expansionists who
trample under foot the Declaration of
Independence and set at defiance the
plain provisions Of the Constitution,
but this will not make them traitors.
On the contrary, they are the real
patriotic citizens of the United States.
