Wall Street. Aug 25.-The market

an axiom OF the street never TO sell duh
market. But this axiom presupposes a
dull market that is sagging and this
market has not been sagging market
although since the middle OF the week
there has developed, as much as anything
at all has developed, a softening tendency
There Is no axiom or speculative tradi-
ton to meet the case OF a market that is
phenomenally duh and yet that does not
tend TO dismal slumpiness.
Fitftil spurts in specialties In which the
public has never taksp much interest,
such as Jersey Central, St Louis ana
Southwestern, Anaconda and Rubber
have punctured the otherwise dead sea of

had no influence at all on anything in
the general list.
Net earnings OF the railroads continue
good. Indeed i'm some of the minor proper

the absence OF other factors even good
earnings and dividend possibilities have
no influence on the action OF the street.

A SICK SOLDIER.
Sergeant Fitzpatrick Of This
City Became Seriously III
Whl|eF|ghtlng philippines

One of the saddest results OF campaign
ing in the Philippines is the serious sick
ness OF Bernard Fitzpatrick, 26 years old,
son of Bernard Fitzpatrick of II Marietta
street, this city.
Lung trouble contracted through a Sc
rious drenching while doing night picket
duty on the outskirts of Manila is re-
sponsible for the young mans condition
and he has come home In very enfee-
bIed condition.
Young Fitzpatrick has been I'm Uncle
Sans service most of the time since he
became of age. He was stationed at New
port long time and when his enlistment
expired returned to civilian life.
At the outbreak OF the war with Spain
he was one of the first TO volunteer and
he went away as a sergeant in Co. II. 1st
II. i. V. Shortly afterward he was pro-
NOTED to the rank of 1st duty sergeant.
His record in the First Rhode Island was
enviable.
When the regiment was mustered out
Bernard again enlisted. this time I'm the
Regular Army, being assigned TO the 18th
Infantry.
Shortly after he was taken sick in the
Philippines the army surgeons saw that
his case was serious and they sent him
back TO the States in hospital ship.
He arrived In San Francisco, Jan. %.
last, and went TO one of the army posts
I'm New Mexico, where he was admitted
to the hospital IT was feared that the
New England climate would prove too
rugged for him.
Later his father sent for him and he
came homo pale and emaciated, the
ghost of the man who. less than year
ago, was the embodiment of physical
manhood.
The Fitzpatricks are fighters. The faith
er is veteran OF the Civil War. going
out as a private with the 18th Connecti-
cut Volunteers. He was taken prisoner
three days before the battle OF Gettys-
burg, but was later paroled and ex-
changed and then went back and fought
till the close OF the war.

THE STAKE Is IMPORTANT

From the Daily Republican.
We hoped comprom Ise ccald be ef-
fected by the leaders oi the two wings OF
the Republican party, so one set of
nominees could be voted for and elected.
To effect such an arrangement the lead
ers should show they are not unreason-
able. They must be willing to accept
similar conditions as they would ask the
opposition to adopt. 1t is folly to ex-
pect the members OF either wing TO
numiliate themselves. There must be
fair dealing or there cannot be harmony,
and without harmony defeat is certain.
Persons should not expect others to az
cept conditions they would resent. 1t IL
manly 10 be generous. and unmanly to
be avaricious and selfish. Through gem
erosity the party may succeed, through
selfishness it will surely be defeated.
The stake is too important to be treated
lightly.

'ec ignition Of this, that, or the other Re.
lblican organization of Delaware, or
;hether that recognition comes from
che President, the National Committee or
the Congressional Committee, this one
fact stands out in bold relief: the admin
istration needs two Republican Senators
and a Republican Congressman from
Delaware. The Union Republicans have
set themselves to the task of sending one
of the Senators, and they generally ac-
complish their purpose, in the end. 1t
remaine for the anti-Addicks outfit to
determine whether they will name the
other Senator, or whether they will place
the whole burden upon the Union Re-
publicans. If they 80 elect we'll tackle
the job and do the best We can. Candi-
dates are not lacking, and obstacles count
for little to the bold and courageous.
Another point to be remembered the
Union Republican delegates to the Ma
tional Convention will be seated, yes,
seated as delegates. The festive anti-Ad-
dicksite may paste this in his hat.

TRUE BUT LET'S
HAVE REFORM
Fem the Milford Chronicle.

FfGm the Milford Chronicle.
Let there be concert movement to
create new system for county govern
ment by the next Legislature. 1t woul1
have come about at the last Legislature,
but for the powerful influence of the
Democratic officeholders in Sussex
county; and just here we quote the Union
Republican as to why this influence was
eXerted
There has been enough money abb
stracted from the taxes of the people by
low and cunning schemes during the last
twenty years to have paid every dollar
OF the county debt, and reduced the tax
alton to 40 cents on the hundred dollars.
On! it mas been beautiful game. No
wonder officeholding has been SO eagerly
sought after When public offices in a
county like Sussex furnish such an op-
ponunity for money making as to induce
men to leave large businesses, something
is wrong.

DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN.

From the Milford News and Advertiser.
Again the Democrats are to have the
option OF voting for either Populist or
a Republican. MANY OF them will
doubtless support Bryan, but Others will
prefer Mckinley. Should the Democrats
name a candidate from their own ranks
they would probably poll the party's
tull vote, but if they endorse the Popu-
lists choice, they can no longer success
fully appeal TO party loyalty. The effort
of a wing to read the gold men out Of the
party is absurd, since the dominant fac
tion does not represent Democracy is
shown by their expressed purpose to en-
dorse the Popnlist candidate, BRYAN.

WELLINGTON'S USUAL TASTE

From the New York Evening sun.
Senator George a. Wellington was nne
Of the speakers at the mass meeting ad-
dressed by the B0er En- yoys in Wash Il
ton last night. The fact that the pro.
priety OF holding such an affair before
President krngar's friends had called
upon the President or the Secretary III
State was more than doubtful, did not
deter the gentleman from Maryland from
taking an active part in tile proceedings.
Nor did the other fact, that most Of
those On the PLATFORM from the presid-
ing officer down, were there rather as
enemies OF the Administration than as
friends Of the South African republics.
The conclusions of Wellington's S speech
contained this threat: "Whether your
Diplomatic mission is success or a
failure, you are assured the sympathy cf
the people OF this greater Republic. Shall
we not help them? | will. You may
fail in your mission, bit you must re-
member in this country the Government
and the Administration cannot long
stand against spirit that speaks as our
sympathy has spoken tonight" 1t
doesn't matter cent to this lrresponsi-
bic and discredited foe of his own party
that the traditional policy of our Cow
eminent, the Monroe Doctrine, and the
working principles laid down by the late
Peace Congress at The Hague all equal Y
bar US from interfering to save the
Beers, no matter how much we may de-
sire to do 70. Wellington was simply
trying to strike at our Government
over the shoulders of the honest men
who had come SO far on a serious mis-
sion.
1t is great pity that Dr. Fischer and
his ftleads did not have some one to pnt
them on their guard 50 that thev might
have avoided falling into the hands oi
the jrresponsponsible, the self.seeking
and the dlscredited. The people Of the
