PROCEED IN ORDER

In dealing with this Democratic Levy
Court Of ours it is not fair or right to
intimate that all its acts bear the
stamp of crookedness. The mere fact
that man selected by the Levy Court
receives money for work done does not
constitute scandal unless the transac-
ton contains the elements OF fraud.
There are many men who have deal
ings with the Levy Court who could
not be induced to participate in any
scheme to loot the treasury. For this
reason II would be manifestly improper
to impugn such payments.
The only way to get at the bottom
Of whatever crookedness exists is to
appoint an investigating committee, the
members OF which should be above po
litical and personal taint-men in
whose integrity the taxpayers OF all
parties have absolute confidence That
committee should have power to sum
mon witnesses, compel their attend
ance and command the production OF
books and papers. BY this process. the
truth can be reached and the crooked
ness exposed.
The mere fact that certain men profit
largely by county expenditures does not
carry with It the stigma that these
profits were obtained illegally and dis
honestly. In an investigation Of this
kind, the strength Of the work in the
public mind lies in the fairness with
which 1t is conducted. The figures of
the county auditors show extravaganza
on their face. Whether there is Grim
inality back Of that extravaganza the
investigation must determine by prop
erly-directed process.

We have intimated that between

in glaring headlines this announce

Then follows an article laudatory OF
Senator Kenneys hard work" and
Strenuous efforts" in that direction.

does not smother a rival in the field

unless he has an object in II. We ad-

PASS IHE Bill

We are pleased to announce to mem
bers Of the Wilmington Board OF Trade
that Senator Penrose yesterday, from
the Committee on Commerce. reported
favorably the bill approprlating $780,
600 to complete the exhibit OF trade
samples in the Philadelphia CONNER
cial Museums. A similar bill is now
before the House, with n favorable
recommendation.
Mr.. Penrose in his report says that
the money, II appropriated, will not be
used for private or individual profit.
He meets the objection made TO the
bill by the Dun and Bradstreet mer-
camille agencies by saying that the ex-
hibit would but slightly conflict with
their business, and that for such work
as is excepted TO by them. 'greatamounts
would not be expended He bases
much OF the claim to congressional leg
islation upon the argument that the ex-
hibit would be national in scope.
Now, let Congress pass the bill as
soon as It can reach It.

END THE SCANDAL

The Clark plot thickens To save
himself the ignominy Of being expelled
the Addicks Of Montana resigned his
seat in the United States Senate. Act
ing Governor spriggs, OF Montana, took
advantage OF the absence Of Governor
Smith, and appointed Clark to fill the
vacancy of his own creation. When
Governor Smith heard OF this act he
sent the following telegram TO Acting
Governor Spriggs:
] am certainly astonished that you
should have been led into being a party
TO this dirty trick of Clark's. Mon
tana certainly has cause for shame
when a man who stands convicted OF
bribery before the world is selected by
the acting governor as senator. The
trick will do him no good.
Now Governor Smith is back in the
executive chair, and he has appointed
Martin Maginnis to succeed Clark.
This act puts the matter fairly and
squarely before the United States Sen
ate, which should take early and de
cisive action to end a public scandal.

WAS A WITNESS
NEARLY A YEAR
W. H. Miller, Expert Book.
keeper, Has Testified AL
most That Long

For nearly a year. one witness in the
stockholders suit OF Jacob Edwards.
ct al, Of Philadelphia, VS.. the Bay
State Gas Company, has been under di-
rect examination by the attorneys for
the complainants. This man is VIII
liam II. Miller, the bOOkkeeper Of the
Bay State Company.
The hearing in the suit was begun
in this city before Commissioner S.
Redmond Smith last June. The at
torneys for the cOmplainants are Harry
Major and Godfrey c. Patterson, Of
Philadelphia; J. Harry Hoffecker and
the Hon. Anthony Higgins, of this city.
For the gas company the attorneys are
II. H. Ward, OF this city; George L.
Crawford and the Hon. Samuel Gustive
Thompson, OF Philadelphia, and Parker
G. Chandler, OF Boston. United States
Court Stenographer Charles G. Guyer
has been taking the testimony.
The cOmplainants, who are holders
of stock and bonds of the company
and ON which no interest has been paid
for several years, allege a fraudulent
and Over-issue OF stock to such an ex-
tent that the stock of the holders OF
the original issue Of the company is
rendered almost valueless. The COM
plainants hold considerable of this
stock. A misuse Of funds and the mis-
management Of the affairs Of the COM
pany have also been alleged.
Mr.. Miller, who is an expert book
keeper, has been under direct examina-
ton almost a year, and this examina-
tion was finished on Thursday in Phil
adelphia, to which city the hearing was
removed for the convenience OF wit
nesses.
Next Thursday the cross-examina-
tion OF this witness will begin. The
examination OF Mr.. Miller was almost
entirely confined to technical testi-
mony on bookkeeping.

SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1900,
WHY THIS RETIcENcE

For some time q feeling OF animosity
has existed between the Every Even
ing, a Democratic newspaper, and the
Democratic Levy Court. What gave rise
TO it we do not know. The underlying
cause may be patriotic or se!sssn. but
there is no doubt that the two have
been saying mean things about each
other We believe that the criticism
made by the Every Evening is warrant
ed by existing conditions, for the re-
port OF the county auditors shows that
the conduct OF the financial AFFAIRS Of
the county by the present Levy Court,
has not been what It should have been.
In an editorial ON the audit just made,
the Every Evening says:
We have been informed OF one In
stance where a man who had done con-
siderable work in the way Of small jobs
was in the habit OF receiving his war
rant at the hands OF a member OF the
Levy Court, who would get him to en-
dOrse it then and there, whereupon the
member would give him the cash for
his bill and retain the warrant Upon
one occasion he happened at the Court
House when the Levy Court commits
sioner was not around, and going to the
office OF the county treasurer obtained
his warrant Upon examining It he
found that II was for SIS, whereas the
bill he had presented was for si5 only.
This time he cashed the warrant him
self. instead OF permitting the member
OF the Levy Court to cash It.
Such practices as This make It sure
that the county has been robbed OF
large sums OF money in the allowance
OF claims illegally swollen. And II war
rants drawn to the order OF the claim
ant can be increased, and endorsed by
the claimant upon the request of a
member OF the Levy Court, how much
greater are the opportunities for fraud
when warrants are drawn simply "a
''so-and-so or bearer"
With such precise information as
that in its possession, we fail to sec
why the Every Evening does not begin
an investigation OF It's own. II II
knows the name Of the man in whose
favor the warrant was drawn and th'
name OF the Levy Court commissions
who had the check padded, why no
take the public into its con
fidence? What interest has th'
Every Evening in making
bald, anonymous statement whel
public interest demands an exposure o
all such crookedness? In our opinion
the newspaper is doing an injustice L
its readers by Withholding such infor
nation when the primaries and genera
election are approaching rapidly.

ing a show OF strength. to impress upon
tho delegates from other states that
their organization is really representa-
tive OF something in point of size and
political influence.
Ordinary means having failed to in
duce many Delawareans to signify a
willingness to appear in the Addiclzs
line on that occasion. extraordinary
means have been adopted. A circular
letter has been printed, and It is In
course OF circulation in all places
where the Addicks managers think
they can get a parader. This circular
letter purports TO emanate from the
rooms OF the y. Edward Addicks Club
OF Delaware" II is a mushroom or
ganization called into being to meet
the exigencies OF the occasion. II is
stated frankly that "a club with the
above name has been formed to take
part in the grand parade of the allied
Republican clubs OF Philadelphia and
vicinity on the evening OF June IS, to
welcome the National Republican Con-
vention.' This circular letter is not
wholly inartistic. In one corner It
bears the star, the emblem Of Addicls-
ism. That emblem has become com
monplace by misuse and SCARED by re-
peated defeats. But there are extnor-
dinary features connected with the
star I'm this particular application.
Within it is a likeness OF ]. Edward
Addicks. He wears a benignant smile
and an Ascot tie, and beneath his like
ness is the MOTTO "In Hoe Signo
Vinces." The expression on his face is
30 benign that the boys must have
warned him to look as pleasant as
though he were extending the glad
hand 10 his constituents in some re-
mote corner OF Kent or Sussex county.
II has been suggested that the motto
In Hoe Signo Vinces" Is being abused.
and that I'VE stoop to Conquer would
have been more appropriate.
We have no hesitancy in printing
this extract from the circular letter:
The uniform will be dark clothes.
black derby hat, club badge and cane.
The fee per member has been placed
at fifty cents, which will include trans
porsation. badge and cane. The club
meets every Saturday night for white
members and Wednesday night for col
ored members.
That fee Of fifty cents has great pur-
chasing power 1t means that the Ad.
dicks managers will run a free train to
Philadelphia, and that all those who
take the trip at Addicks expense will
have TO do will be to buy a cane. II
they are adroit in making a deal they
may get a derby hat and a suit Of dark
clothes thrown in, for the Addicksites
need recruits badly and must have
them at any price. This free train
may cost $3.50. but Mr.. Addicks will
pay it gladly il he can but get 500 men
In line. He wants to make a showing.
IL does not matter much who goes on
his free train, so long as il is packed to
the uttermost end OF the rear platform.
He expects his fifty-cent paraders to
make big impression on the National
Convention-but they won't move 1t an
inch. In dealing with Mr.. Addicks this
convention will reaffirm the declara-
tion OF the St. Louis convention-that
Mr.. Addlcks is not a Republican, and
that his political system in no sense
is representative OF ReDubllcanism.
