preached by silverites. The editor de-
sires to give the idea, and does give the
idea, that a gold standard of value is
responsible for the low price Of straw

equal truth that single standard OF
money cooked the strawberries on the

PARTISAN PREJUDICE

The TRANSCRIPT quotes from a
down-State exchange an excellent ar
ticle on the Civil Service. which states
the matter as more than nine-tenths Of
the people of the country believe In it
and as they desire to have it, but in so
doing the partisan editor makes a par
tisan attack upon our President and
his President. Will not the editors OF
Delaware drop their partisan abuse,
substituting argumentP We shall have
better feeling thereby. Every Ameri-
can to-day honors the name Of Lincoln
or pretends to. If any do not they are
ashamed of their prejudice and hide it.
Yet the writer remembers when re-
spectacle citizens believed literally the
statement that "Abe Lincoln has a
black stripe down his back" Partisan
editors and newspapers were response
BILE for that belief. If the President
should die to-day the editor whom we
shall quote would laud him to the
skies then why belittle the press to
create and augment partisan prejudice
among the people2 Why do itP We
endorse the views upon Civil Service;
we deplore the prejudice against the
President in the following article:
"McKinley as candidate believed in
the extension of the Civil Service, Nc
Kinley as President in the early days
of this week, contracted the Civil Ser
vice requirements as applied to four
thousand office holders. This action
of the President should not cause any
surprise to those who have watched
the career of VIM. Mckinley. He is
a policy man under all conditions and
circumstances, weakling who is gov
erned by the sentiments which surround
him at the banquet table. The denun-
ciation of this act by the Democrats,
comes not from the fact that they are
warm supporters of the policy of Civil
Service, but because of the hypocrisy
of the individual and the Republican
press which is supporting him in his
action. So far as the Civil Service re-
gulations are concerned, they were
created and are maintained for the sole
purpose of making it easy for those
elevated gentlemen who do not care to
be annoyed with the opportunities Of
those who are desirious Of occupying
the lesser places. They have never
been applied to the positions in which
the emoluments of Office were of suffi-
cient importance to attract those who
are in personal favor with the dispen-
sers of patronage and never will. In
order that man should occupy position
and place there should be the require
ment of competency, but the require
ment should be made of Democrats
under a Democratic administration and
of Republicans under a Republican
administration"

EDITORIAL VS.. LOCAL

Several weeks since the TRANSCRIPT
called attention to the abuse Of the
local columns of that most excellent
weekly, the 'Smyrna Call" to iDsin-
uate small politics in way that SEEM
ingly the editorial page did not approve.
The local page attones this week, as it
were, by telling the truth, discrediting
the very small and contemplate poll
tics Of its editorials.
The editor writes regular Populis-
tic article upon prosperity" ridicu-
ling the idea that the people are enjoy
ing any prosperity at this time. BE
appeals to the most ignorant and the
most selash. He says nothing Of the
fact that every man who wants work
can have 1t to-day when three years
ago men were begging for work that
they might feed their families. He
charges that local pspels-three of
them-were paid by the ''goldites' to
advocate gold basis since the same
matter appeared on the same day among
the editorials of each of the three
papers. The answer is plain. Every
weekly receives circulars, special
papers, etc., on topics yf interest to
those sending them. They suggest the
use Of their matter. There is no con.
sideration of money. The writer has
never used those articles but may have
used their ideas because he thought
them timely. There was no consider
alton for it. No one knows this state
ment of facts better than the editor of
the "Call," then what can be said Of
his efforts to deceive the public and to
accuse his brother editors Of political
corruption selling their supposed prin-
ciples for money! Such a course but
lowers the respect for newspaper editors
lit is debasing. Here is a sample
from the s'Call:"
Now these same papers (the three charg-
el-two in Kent county and one in Sussex |
are firing up for the next campaign. How |
much they get for this wretched prostitu- |
ton we do not know. 1t may be mere
pitance suitable to a petty hireIing, but
whether much or little it is inst the kind of |
money that the man gets who murders his
that he may get his purse. There
may be a meat and bread excuse for this
but it is mighty bad bread and
meat. Far better live in o hollow tree and |
feed on acorns and persimons. Wen, let it

break the skin we will cut under the hide

The Wilmington City election has

have turned the city government over

noses, they pretending to believe that

If the Regulars makegood
their claim to a superiority OF

acquiesce. lion the other hand
the UnioniSts outnumber them,

relative strength of the two
factions determined"
at the primaries the U. r. polled
half as many votes as the Regulars.
They expected to poll as many or more
and to then claim to be The PARTY,
demanding the withdrawal Of the Reg
ular ticket, but failing they said the
nose counting must go to the election,
knowing they could not elect. and could
only defeat the Regular ticket. The
election was held, the noses were count
