LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Mol Booming Holland
rdIlnr nronlng IournaI.

To the Editor Evening journal.
Sir: In your issue of several
days ago you state that Pret-
tymans. of Milford. are Free
Silver Republicans. and they are
booming Joseph f. Holland, of Milford
for Congress because they are related
to him by marriage. In justice to us we
desire that you publish this note;
First-We are not Free Silver Repub-
licans. nor have we been since the st.
Louis Republican Convention Of 1896,
sold the party to the plutocrats. Sec
ond-We have not been Republicans OF
any faction since the Democratic Ma
tional Convention adopted that truly
Democratic platform at Chicago in the
same year 1896. and nominated Will
liam Jennings Bryan for its leader, and
thereby cut off its old plutocratlc lead
ers. Since that day we have been true
Chicago Platform Democrats, and all
our sympathies are now with that
party. Third-We have not doomed
Mr.. Holland for Congress because he is
related 60 us by marriage, or for any
other reason. for we have not doomed
him at all. 1t is his own high character
and honorable deeds that are booming
him.
Respectfully yours,
Prettyman Bros

MAKING A NOBLE FIGHT

Il is a noble fight the Republicans OF
Delaware are making against Addicks
and Addicksism in Philadelphia. They
are frank and fair In all their declara-
tions and uncompromising In their
sentiment that Addicks must be elimi-
mated, to the end that Republicanism
may triumph in this state.
The National Committee is going al
the matter in a businesslike manner
After hearing argument for both sides
it held an executive session to pass
upon the merits Of the contest. In an
endeavor to obtain a harmonious re-
suit a committee OF four members was
appointed to confer with the contest
ants and see what could be done to-
wards patching up their differences.
That was the extent Of yesterdays
work. and Il is hailed by the Addicks-
ties as a great victory. Such feeling
on their part confirms the statements
made by the Evening Journal that they
did not know where they stood, and
that their expressions Of confidence
were based on nothing better than
their hope.
We renew our assurance to the peo-
pie OF Delaware that the Addicks dele
gates viii not have seats in the Ma
tional Convention.
Evening journal., 1900-06-14
WHAT WlLL IT DO ?

We commend the Morning News for
the following editorial utterance on the
endeavor of J. Edward Addicks to
break into the Republican National
Committee:
One Of the significant facts relating
to what is known in the political world
as the Delaware situation" Is that not
a single Republican paper in the coun-
try, so far as we have ever been able
to discover, took exceptions to the ac-
tiOns of the st. Louis Convention in
seating the Republican delegates from
this state. AT no time since then have
we ever seen in any of our exchanges,
including newspapers in all parts OF
the country, a word that favored the
claims of the Union Republican organi-
zatiOn
The Republican party at large has.
therefore, stood by the Republican
party of the state and has insisted
upon standing for what is the right
Outside Of Delaware the Union Repub-
lican organization has received no aid,
comfort or endorsement at the hands
Of Republicans. II has had no recog-
milton and no following. That being
so, those who have stood for the well
fare of the party in this state have been
endorsed and their action commended
In order to give the trend of the views
taken of the division in the ranks OF
the Delaware Republicans IL may be
well to quote from several papers OF
recognized standing, as showing tn,
feeling existing elsewhere.
The situation is clear to Republican,
on the outside, and the sentiments a,
voiced by such papers as those quote,
should make IL clear that the Republi
cans at large realize what reversal o
the St. Louis decision would mean. /
the action OF four years ago was righ
-and no one outside OF the state ha
questioned that decision-then the ac
tion in Philadelphia this week shoult
be the same. Il is now for the Repub
lican party at large to act for its bes
p interests.
Now, does the Daily Republican in
tend to continue its game OF "Buttor
button, who's got the button?"

Let us see what is troubling the
Smyrna Call at this particular time.
TO begin with, it is part and parcel OF
the Salisbury outfit, and the almost
uniform success OF Former Attorney
General John Biggs and Patrick Neary
in all three counties in putting stop
to the resurrection of the old Salisbury
faction has distempered the entire
Salisbury press bureau. The Bayard-
Gray-Wolcott-B -Biggs combination has
completely annihilated the Salisbury
forces. and left them nothing to live
for but revenge Then. too. there is an
other reason. The Smyrna Call has
the 16 to 1 mania. It's editor would
like to go to Congress. The Gold
Democrats control the state and county
organizations and the political ambi-
ton OF the Call man has been strangled
in its infancy We can excuse the Call
for its distemper. Il has had sufficient
provocation to make It even worse than
It is. with it's owner defeated for
United States senator and its editor de-
feated for representative in Congress,
the public will make due allowance for
any extravaganza Of utteranoe during
the present campaign.

MUST BE ANSWERED

There are those in Wilmington who
refuse to answer the questions pro-
pounded by the census enumerators. To
all such we recommend a careful read
ing Of the following order from Direc-
tor Merriam, Of the Census Bureau:
Regarding cases OF persons refusing
to answer enumerators' questions, de-
sire TO say you are first to exhaust
every possible means of obtaining in
formation required in an amicable
manner. You might try to get 1t from
some Of the nelghbors. After you have
tried every other method. and failed.
you may proceed before the United
States District Attorney for your dis
trict.
We do not believe there is any per-
son in Wilmington who prefers prose-
cution to answering the questions asked
by the enumerators, but the Federal
Government will brook no opposition
In this matter We advise the heads
OF households to cut out the census
blank found on another page OF the
Evening Journal and fill it in and leave
Il for the enumerator to call for. Such
a course will make it easy for the
enumerator, and doubly easy for the
housewife.

FLOWERS IRON MIppLETOWN

In the controversy which now exists
between the Middletown Transcript
and the Morning News the Evening
Journal has taken no part, but when
our Middletown contemporary throws
flowers our way we accept them with
thanks:
In the opinion OF the Transcript there
Is but a single difference between the
Republican as to the above matter and
the Morning News: The former may be
excused on the plea Of ignorance. the
latter acts deliberately. These papers
furnish a security for the Sherins
bond, one first term and the other the
second. This is an excuse TO get the
Sheriff's printing at a discount Many
would say this is business and ali
right. But the deliberate advocacy OF

Addicksism by the Republican and the
silence CT the Morning News as to the
vile attacks Of Addicks' henchmen and
papers upon honest Republicanism
and the leaders OF the party, men Of
honor and integrity. is where the lack
OF party fealty and integrity show
itself. The Evening Journal has done
more in one month to put Addicks and
Addicksism on the rum has struck more
effective blows for true Republicanism
In four weeks, than have the Republi-
can and Morning News for two years
past. Republicans should read the
Evening Journal. The papers in poll
tics for business cannot faithfully serve
their party.

R0RERISl llNE RESrnREn

A London dispatch says that Lord
Roberts line Of communications has
been practically restored by a com
plete victory gained by Generals Ne
thuen and Kitchener over General De
Wet on Tuesday. The Boer camp was
captured, and the burghers, it is add
ed, were scattered in all directions.
II is understood at Cape Town that
Sir Alfred Miner, governor ofCape Col

Anniher Account Of Ihat Game

To the Editor Evening Journal.
Sir: | noticed in Tuesdays issue of
your paper a letter from Dover COM
menting on the 'doctored score" on the
baseball game here last Saturday, and
reported in the Sunday Star. noticed
the way the correspondent reported
the game and he evidently knows little
about keeping score. His work in pre-
yious seasons proves this.
We, Of New Castle, expect little else
from this correspondent and If the peo-
pie who employ him do not know how
unreliable all his news matter is, they
had better interview few of New
Castles citizens and save the reputa-
tion of their paper for reliability.

BRYAN MEN
Arb HOPEFUI
Say Every Indication Points
to Their Capture Of the
State Convention

Every indication points to the cap
ture OF the Democratic State Conven-
ton on Tuesday by the Bryan men OF
the state. Bryan men say, and as
consequence there is a bitter contest
just now being waged by the respective
Democratic factions.
The fight will not be ended until
both factions meet in convention, hut
the elections of delegates in Kent and
Sussex counties on Saturday will prove
that the Silver men. according to their
statements. will win the fight. This
seems to be the opinion of conservative
men throughout the state. OF course
Levin Irving Handy and John G. Gray,
Bryan leaders of this county. agree
with them. While tbey also believe
that they will be the choice of New
Castle county for delegates to the Kan
sas City Convention, there is an air
about them which indicates that they
are not quite positive of obtaining the
honor. Silver men will be chosen, they
assert, and this will be a suitable vic
tory, though they are not named.
Perhaps the strongest opposition the
New Castle county Bryan men will
have will be Andrew c. Gray and Will
liam T. Lyman. who are Imported by
Patrick Neary.
Saturdays election of delegates will
not embrace this county. the delegates
having been selected. In Kent and
Sussex counties it will be a hard fight
on the part of the Bryan men, and
they are confident that enough Silver
men will be named there 10 send a ma
iOrity of the delegates to Kansas City,
pledged to the support of William Jen-
nings Bryan.

ENnIn REcnRn MADE

To the friends and foes Of the Repub-
lican administration the Evening Jour
nal commends the following review by
Senator William p. Frye, OF the record
of the session Of Congress just brought
to a close:
The fact that the session ended
earlier than any long session in sixty
five years is OF itself high tribute to
the industry Of both the House and the
Senate While some important meas
ures went over until the next session,
that is something that always happens.
From a mathematical point of view
Congress might seem to be open to
criticism inasmuch as 1S,191 bills and
resolutions were introduced, while only
about 225 OF them we're sent to the
president for his signature. But II is
no small part OF the duty OF the lead
ers in Congress to cOntrive how not
TO leglslate, TO prevent great numbers
OF ill-considered, elfishly-promoted
and vicious measures from becoming
laws. Then. as TO the really desirable
measures which have not yet become
laws. II must be borne In mind that the
old adage. "A thing well begun Is half
done, is truer in respect TO legislation
than TO anything else. It Is In commit
tee that the real labor Is had. There
the facts are gathered, the views of
those best informed on the subject are
presented and discussed. and the re.
quired amendments made: and when
after such consideration as Is uniform.
ly given to an important public meas
ure, a committee of either body has
reported it. in many instances it may
be truly said that the work is mucl
more than half done. IL is probable
that in the three months of the fina
session OF the present Congress. ampl

TnE l1l4sES Ur JAPAN.

Silver is found in As places in Japan,
and in 1896 afforded yield of !, SOC, 900
ounces, which is equal to an increase
of almost 65O,OOO oupces since 1898.
The gold production Of Japan since
1898 has risen almost 5000 ounces,
and in 1896 reached the yield of 20, 300
ounces. The 10 existing gold mines are
partly in the emperor's possession,
partly in that of private parties.
Very considerable is the copper pro-
duction of Japan, there being at present
20 mines. During the fiscal year ended
June 80 last 35,OOO,OOO catties, or about
100000 centners, of copper, valued at
100000 yen (about $3,OOO,OOO), were
mined. Since 1875 the copper produc-
ton has increased almost ninefold.
Most copper is sent to Hong-Kong, then
to China and to England, the total ex-
port amounting to 35O,OO0 centners-i
e., fve-sevenths of the whole produc-
ton.
Coal mining has, since the war with
China, risen about 100000 tons, and
in 1897 more than 2,OOO,O 900 tons of coal,
valued at about Sc ,O0O, 900, were export
ed. Altogether there are 12O coal
mines, of which, however, only about
so are of Importance. A new coal field
was discovered in 1896 and work has
now been commenced on it. 1t is stu
ated in the province of Iburi, on the
River Mukawagawa, and is said to con-
tain 40.00O.0O0 tons above and 10000, 600
tons below the level of the sea.
