DEMOCRATS READY 10 ORGANIZE
hey Probably Will Name State Com
mittee This Week

Alfred II. Cahall, chairman OF the re-
ent Democratic State Convention, who
gas authorized to appoint a new Demo
ratio State Committee, is expected to
ONE to this city during this week to
onsult with the party leaders as to the
appointment OF the New Castle county
members.
lt has not been intimated as TO who
viii be the chairman. although It is
possible that Willard Salisbury may be
sked to take the position. The COM
nittee, it is said. will have little to do,
IS the work is done by the County and
1undped Committees, but the Free Sill
ler people say a working committee
viii be named so that the fight may be
arried on from one general headquar-
ers. IL is expected, however, that
lbout all the State Committee viii do
Hill be to send out packages of cam.
)aign literature and attempt to obtain
money from some of the prominent
Democrats for campaign purposes. IL is
'laimed there is but little prospect of
yetting money from the National Com
nittee-frst because It will have but
title to give out; and. second, because
he solicitor for contributions to the
'unds of that committee met with a
,old reception when he came here
sometime ago and asked for money.
In New Castle county the Biggs
'orces seem to be masters Of the situa-
ion, and because this faction OF the

flashing with the two lower counties,
which are for silver

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
DR.. Jacobson Explains


To the Editor Evening Journal
Sir: Task your permission to makeuseI
of your columns in order to rectify al
misstatement contained in the Sunday
Star of June "a, rearding my connec-
tion with the unfortunate incident of
the alleged forgery Of free passes to the
Elks' fair by one Of my former en-
ployes.
The statement that the profits were
cut down by the issuance OF forged
passes is exaggerated there only being
two passes in all, according to the ex-
planation of the much injured chairman
Of the Elks' Printing Committee. The
name Of the emplOye men
toned in the Stars plrillipic
Is not d. Jacobson but Julias lac
OLSON, neither did this man leave town
by my advice but was peremptorily dis
missed without a moments warning.
Since the Star has seen fit to dra e
my name into publicity, because on<
Of its reporters happened to be that
much injured chairman Of the Elks'
Printing Committee, / would like to
add the following as warning to those
who may have the misfortune to come
into contact with said gentleman. When
che alleged discovery was made on the
fair grounds on Thursday evening,
anyone knowing me and the reputation
bear in this community would have
communicated with me before going to
the extreme Of taking up all Freie
Presse passes. Rather than subject
the holders of such passes to the 5ncon-
yenience forced upon them / would
have gladly paid the admission Zee
But said chairman concluded to acd
differently. In the presence Of several
trustworthy citizens he shouted pub
llcly at the fair grounds: THAT Jew
lsh , Jacobson has
forged my name and / shall go to his
Office and punch his sheeney head of
his shoulders" Prior to that time my
employe had confessed to him that he
had been guilty Of this wrongdoing.
l beg to submit that this was said
without the slightest proof that / had
committed a forgery.
lhe statement in the Sunday Star
that the man who illegally Enade use
OF that gentleman's name left this cit,
by my advice to escape arrest contain.
a very serious charge which means M
more nor less than compounding a fel.
ony' and hence alleging that l am an
accessory to the alleged crime after the
iaet My attorney has been instructed
10 lay the matter before the next ses
sion Of the criminal court.

Railroad Mileage Books Not Trans

Railroad Mileage Books Not Trans
ferable---A Mooted Question Settled
The Washington Cd. O. Times. Of
June 2, 1900, prints the following deci-
sion OF the Supreme Court Of New
Hampshire, which will interest the
holders OF railroad mileage books:
The question as to whether a railroad
company has the right to take up a
mileage ticket limited to a particular
person when presented by another per-
son than the one to whom the ticket
was issued, was decided in the affirma-
tive by the Supreme Court OF New
Hampshire, in Eastman VS.. Maine Cen
tral railroad (46 Atl. Rep, 54). The
plaintih was accustomed to rent
railroad mileage books az
an advance on their purchase
price. The conductor took one of these
books from a passenger who had pur-
chased It from the plaintiff, whereupon
the plaintiff sued to recover the amount
originally paid for the mileage book.
But the court denied his right to re-
cover holding that the conditions on
which the mileage book was issued
we're not contrary to law or public
policy, and that having violated these
conditions the law affords the plaintiff
no relief.

him we are for the spirit of the Declara-
ton and the letter of the Constitution.
With him we are against Imperialism,
militarism and monopoly. With him we
believe in equal rights to all, special
privileges to none"
on these questions the Democrats
would have at least fighting chance
to win. And this chance is greatly
strengthened by the revelations of
Republican law breaking, favoritism
and corruption in the cases of Alger,
Gage, Roberts, Heath, Hepburn, Kill
burn, Payn and others. The end is
not yet in these disclosures. More truth
is bound to come out. With this new
weapon put into Democratic hands, why
load up the ammunition chest with the
burnt cartridges of four lost campaigns?
Why not accept the only possible
chance to carry New York and win the
presidency?

oIvILIz ALTON OR COMMERCIALIsMg
(Boston Post.)

The plea with which men palliate the
subjugation of the South African re-
publics by Great Britain is that there
by is a higher grade of civilization will
be established in that land and the well
fare of the human race advanced by so
much. The excuse for the subjugation
of the Filipinos, instead of treating
them as we treat the Cubans. is we
want to give them the blessings of our
better civilization. In both cases the
killing of men who resist the gift of
higher civilization goes on for the bene-
fit of the survivors.
But are we not using the wrong word
here? Is it really civilization, or is it
commercialism that furnishes the i'm
pulse for these wars? In the case of
Great Britain our eyes are clear to see
the commercial taint in the pretended
benefcence. 1t is for the territory, for
the gold mines, for the diamond mines,
for the right of way for the railroad
from Cairo to Cape" that Great
Britain is fighting. And with vision
equally clear because unprejudiced
Europe looks on at our war in the
Philippines and sees, not philanthropy,
but trade and possession as the ends
for which we are fighting.
1t is commercialism, not crusade
for the higher civilization of humanity,
that engage the armies of the two
great English speaking nations.

Henry Clews, the Wall street oracle,

Much depends" he says. upon the

shock tothe London market must inevi-
tably reflected here" The last statement
made by Mr.. Clews, that any shock to
the London market must inevitably be
reflected here, is true, yet any monetary
system which depends entirely upon the
favorable conditions set forth in Mr..
Clew's letter, for its successful opera
tion, can hardly be- regarded by the
financial world as an ideal system. Yet
our present system is just what Henry
Clews and Wall street bankers desire 1t
TO be.

Because, in some of his recent speeches,
Mr.. Bryan has objected to making the
poor man pay the same tax to support
the war as the rich man. the Republi-
can press throughout the country is
calling him a Demagogue. OF course
this is not a new appellation applied by
Republican political newspaper writer's
and stump orators, to Mr. Bryan. The
truth is they have become so occustom-
ed to it. that it has become a sort Of
second nature to them and they
probably do it unconsciously. At any
rate, it would be pretty difficult for
Mr.. Bryan to do, or say anything that
would meet the appreciation of Republi-
can politicians and Republican news
paper writer's, unless it were said and
done in the name and by the grace Of
Hanna, the ideal statesman of the
Republican party.
