WEDNESDAY. AUGUST ~, 1900
ACCORDING to the editor Of tn!

ACCORDING to the editor OF the
Smyrna Call, Senator Kenney evil
IDENTIFY has no love for the newspaper
men of this State or elsewhere. He
makes the charge that the papers
have not treated him right. AS far
as the REPUBLICAN is any Judge,
we think the Senator has been
treated magnanimously by the press
of Delaware. especially in his trial
when he was charged with being in
strumental in wrecking the Dover
First National Bank. He could
not have been feeling in a good
Democratic humor when ne swore
at the editor of the Call, and paid
his compliments to J. Milton David
son. In other words, the Senator,
according to the article published
in the Call, was like a mad bull in
aChina store. Wecan understand
why the Senator lost his temper, as
generally he is the mildest of men
and the most forgivlng, polite, and
willing to do anybody a favor who
asks for it in the proper manner.
The editor of the Call, Mr.. James
c. Wickes, ends up the statement in
his paper with the remark that as
far as MIR. kenney is concerned in
no way, shape, or form will the Call,
while managed by me, say any
thing further, for or against the
Senator. His issue is not with ME,
but with the Democratic party.
His insulting, contemplate bragga-
docio at a public place, may help
him convince the Democratic party
that he is fit to represent them, to
uphold the dignity of the State; but
this is for them to decide

IT is reported that Senator Rich
ard K. Kenncy will have to stand
trial again in the United States
Court on the same charge he has
been tried for twice. William Mich
ael Byrne will be the prosecuting
attorney in the third trial. 1t is
hoped to either get a verdict or an
acqulttal the third time. The abuse
he has been heaplng upon the head
OF the Administration, is not help
ing his case. The two trials have
cost the Senator aprctty penny and
1t is likely TO cost him several dol
lars more before the case is finally
settled.

WHAT a lot OF lnhuman, cruel
wretches the French are. Take the
case OF Dreyfus. The army had
determined TO get rid of Dreyfus,
no matter how, and lies and every
other subterluge were resorted to to
convict him. NJ. Labor returned
to the Dreyfus defense yesterday
and successfully cornered General
Mercler on the Schneider letter,
which the latter had used in evil
dence, and which Colonel Schneider.
Austrian military attache, has re-
ported as forgery. 1t showed the
depth to which the officers of the
army would sink, to convict Dreyfus
on false evidence.

WE Respectfully REFER the 1oiloW-
ing opinion of ex Governor Patter-
son a Democrat in whom the Dem
ocracy has great faith) concerning
the nation s expansion policy, to the
Every Evening and its allied adj
ministration praters:
"You may call it the expansion of
Imperialism. The overwhelming
majority OF the people is in favor Of
pushing ahead. After becoming
possessed of these outlying coun-
tries as the result of a victorious
war, we cannot abandon them. If
we gave up the Philippines, Ger
many, France or England would
take them up gladly. They would
never revert to Spain, and they
certainly would not be left in the
hands of the native population.
LET us look at the Louisiana
purchase. That was 4 Democrotic
measure, 1t is true, it met with
some opposition then, but there is
not person in the country to-day,
who can say that that was not a
frst-class bargain. Now, take the
parallel in the Philippines. These
islands to-day, with steam and cleo
tricity, are not so far away as Lou
isiana was in the beginning of this
century. We knew so little about
the country That Government Or
gained an expedition under Lewis
and Clark, and sent it out to explore
these unknown possessions Of the
United States. 1t was two years
before the expedition was heard
from. Now We can hear from the
Philippines in few minutes, and
we can send our merchandise there
IN less than two months from the
Atlantic side of our country.
SIN Cuba we should hold to our
position. Give the island a stable
government if the people are adapt
ed to such responsibility, and, if
not, educate them up to that point.
We did that in the Louisiana pur-
chase. See what magnificent ar
ray of States we have there
Words of wisdom indeed. Will
the enemies of the Administration
learn thereby?
