1t is No, a oass,,on ., Expense.


Says the Milford News and Adver-
tiser, with reference TO matter about
which the Addicks Republican papers
OF the State have been circulating
falsehoods Of large Dimensions;
The Addicks journals have been de-
pioring the expense TO the State grow
ing out of the bribery cases lately
before the courts. The sum total is
eiyen IN estimates running from 50, 500
to Ss,OOO These estimates are SO absurd
that they scarcely need comment. The
attorney general informs US that all
the expenses incurred on the part OF
the State will not foot up $500 and that
the total expense of both prosecution
and defence will not aggregate 81, 200.
Moreover much of this was unnecessary
as many witnesses were summoned
apparently without reason. So there
has been some very able lying regarding
the matter. We are sorry that it became
necessary to incur this expense, but
as long as certain politicians continue
tuition, such charges will have 10 be
met. The attorney general states that
whatever the cost of these suits may
1t will have to be duplicated, as be
proposes to bring suit in two Of these
cases again. Some men had better
reform. in order that the State may
avoid such costs in the future.
The question of court costs does not
properly figure in these cases. They
are cases Of grave public import, iu-
volving the purity of cur elections.
They were instituted against men ac.
cused of conupting the ballot by at
tempting TO bribe voters. This is an
evil that has long been crying one in
this State, and the trainers of our new
Constitution incorporated in their
work special penalties for this crime,
ard special measures for the trial of
those accused of the nefarious work.
The fact that the recent trial of a
prominent citizen of Kent county on n
charge of corrupting the suffrage cost
Kent county considerable sum of
money, and resulted in failure to con-
yict, should not be urged as a reason
for abandoning the fight for pure
elections in Delaware. The prosscu-
tions should follow as fast as the
offences occur. 1t need not matter to
the friends Of an honest suffrage that
the prosecutions fail. 1t should not
matter 10 the taxpayers of Kent county
that court costs are piled up in earnest
attempts to preserve the purity of the
ballot. Let it be known that whenever
assaults upon the honesty of our
elections are made, prosecution will be
sure to follow, regardless of the results.
Then, possibly, corruptors OF the ballot,
who otherwise might feel themselves
secure in their miserable work, may
learn that honest citizens will be ever
upon their trail, and that their every
offence will be followed by swift and
determined prosecution. 1t will not
always be the case that these prosecu-
tions will result in failures 10 convict.
There will be cases in which the court
will not be able to close their eyes to
the guilt of the accused. At any rate,
it is an honest duty of citizenship tc
prosecute all attempts to debauch the
ballot, and no honest citizen will raise
a hue and cry over the expense of con.
ducting these proceedings.

Alluding to the peculiar business
affiliations Of the Union Republicans OF
Delaware, the Sussex Republican of
Georgetown says that the PARTY "has
lived Oh gas" and adds: I'VE are re-
liably informed that the latter diet is to
be changed and one Of copper suhsti-
tutcd, new copper company, of about
the same directorate, having been or
ganized and plentiful SUPPLY being In
circulation among the Addicks lead
ers." Perhaps another change of diet
may be suggested, that OF ''ciow" in
place of either gas or copper. And this
change will be effected if the people of
Delaware do their duty at the POLLS
next year.

Since they have had time to study
the results Of therecent election, several
of the Democratic leaders have decided
that Bryan will not do for the Demo-
cratic candidate next year, and are
trying to find another man upon whom
the PARTY can unite, says the Philadel-
phia Ledger. As it looks at present
their efforts will simply result in a
hopeless division of the rarty, for Bryan
still has a following which will insist
on his being nominated.

Mr.. Crosby said that he had u pointer
for the ministers to dwell 90 in their
Thanksgiving sermons, namely the good
feeling andigood fellowship that exist
between this country and England.
Never since this country has been a
nation has such good feeling existed
between these two ration5 as exists
today and it is one thing for which we
give thanks to Almighty God. 1t has
been an open secret that II Great
Britain had not been friendly to the

than the Spanish to wrestlo with. /
believe in my inmost soul had it not
been that England courageously md
bravely stoud behind the United States
government. with the determination to
stand by this government al all hazard,
that some of the continental nations
would have PUT their fingers in and
made trouble. The continental nations
are jealous of these two great nations
that stand for truth and right and
justice.
Mr. Crosby was applauded when he
expressed the opinion that the United
States and Great Britain standing
together could maintain the peace of
the world. Such an alliance. he said,
would Ee stronger with Germany in it.

ber, yet she never takes foot of land
but that she improves it, and improve
ment follows in morals of the people,
and in civil matters. He traced this
thing to the high standard of public
life in England. The one fear that be
had about our management of our
colonies was in that our politics are not
so clean as are those of England. If
this country had as public spirited and
patriotic leaders as has England, the
escutcheon OF America would he
brighter.
