Tho St. Michaels Comet fears that
on account of its inability to SECURE
operators, the shirt factory viii not
be able to hold a contract which it has
with the United States government to
manufacture lot of drawers. This is
unfortunate, indeed. Nothing helps a
town more than factories, and the dif-
iiculty complained OF ought not to be
experienced in a town which boasts Of
a population Of 1,S00. The public spir-
tied men who have invested their
money in the enterprise should be en-
cCuraged, as the success Of their ven
ture will encourage others TO invest in
other facotries.-St. Michaels Comst.
The miners are compelled to buy
their powder from the mins operators,
who, in many cases, charge them the
same rate that they did thirty years
ago. This is double the present mar
ket rate, and is a steal pure and simple.
Whatever may be true or untrue about
the strike, this fact is unquestiOnabie.
-Centreville Observer.
There is no reason why Mr.. Addicks
should be sent to the United States
Senate from Delaware. He is in no
sense a statesman. Compared with
the great men who have hOnOred De.a-
ware in the Senate for over a century,
he is absolutely Insignificant. He has
no capacity for the Office, and no
claim to it save the single claim of
money. His service in the Senate
would be no credit to the state. He
would simply be a figurehead, occu-
pying the seat Of men who, in the
past, reflected the highest honor upon
the state, and were the peer of any Of
their fellows.-Every Evening.
Mr.. Bryan has not been able to with
stand the temptation, and has consent
ed TO try to ride into power on the
false cry Of Imperialism" and recog-
nizes that should he win he will be in
position to claim that the people have
endorsed by their vote all the tenets Of
the Chicago platform. He has aban
dOned his first open and manly posi-
tion and consented to the policy of
trying to conceal the real issues of the
by misleading appeals to the
weak sentimentaiities Of the people
and to class prejudlces.-ChestertOwn
Enterprise.
The Rev. Joseph Brown Turner a
Dover minister who has declared his
intention Of voting for Bryan, and
leaving the Republican party is re-
ceiving an unusual amount Of news
paper notoriety. We would infer that
the Rev. Mr.. Turner is a very inhu
entail politician, but we have seen
nothing said of his ability as a minis
ter Of the gospel, or Of his great devo-
tion to his calling as a religious teach
er.-DentOn Union.

WANTED---A GIRL


This morning we received the fol-
lowing communication from the seat
Of war in the Philippines.
Manila. p. l., Aug. 8, 1900.
The Evening Journal, Wilmington,
Del.
Dear Editor: Will you please pub
lish the following in the next issue of
your paper:
Wanted, by a lonesome soldier in
The Philippines a lady correspondent
IN the states. Address Harry A.
Kenny, Battery III" 9Th Artillery.
am a constant reader of your paper
and this favor will greatly oblige me
and in course of a week or so 1 will
write you a long and interesting letter
Tor publication. Hoping that my wish
shall be granted, / beg to remain
Very Respectfully,
HARRY A. KENNY,
Battery II, 9Th Artillery,
Manila, p /.
We assure our dashing artilleryman
that we are only too glad to assist in
relieving his Loneliness, and have no
doubt THAT this publication will put
him in correspondence with some of
the fair daughters of the republic who
admire blue cloth, brass buttons, red
stripes and brave heart. But the
volume OF correspondence which may
result from our compliance with the
request may stagger the young man,
for IL every Delaware girl who has a
dash of sentiment or fun in her com
position sits down after reading this
and writes a cheering letter to the boy
who IS lighting his country's battles in
Luzon. Uncle Sam VIII have to buy
some extra mail sacks and Kenny viii.
need a stan Of private secretaries to
conduct his correspondence. We leave
the dashing artilleryman to the tender
mercies OF the gentler sex. Send him
etters, magazines and papers, socks
and mits, embroidered suspenders, hat
bands and handkerchiefs. pillows and
tobacco pouches; drop in an occa-
sional pair OF slippers; and get them
off as socn as possible. In short, make
him the Darling OF the Battery" and
the envy OF his comrades. He looks
10 the Delaware girls for help and
happiness and should not be disap-
pointed.

are coming out for Bryan and anti-im-

not swallow the arguments set forth
Tor holding the Philippines for the
purpose Of Outstanding them. for
how can you make a Christian out of
a dead man, a man who has been shot
by a soldier Of a Christian nation? Let
me tell you, Delaware, with Maryland.
West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana. IL
linois, with the solid South, will be on
the side of Christ, Washington and
Lincoln for once at least.
We advise the New York Herald to
stand by its forecast The Republican
platform and ticket are exceedingly
popular here In Delaware, ana for
every Republican who goes over TO
Bryan and Stevenson two Democrats
come over to Mckinley and Roosevelt.
There are even men on the Democratic
ticket who viii cut Bryan and Steven
son and vote for the Mckinley electors
The issue Of imperialism cuts deeper
into the side Of Democracy than it does
into the side Of Republicanism, for the
sentiment is that the Nc
kinley policy should be sustained and
carried out We also would advise the
New York Herald that Christ. Wash
ington and Lincoln are not on the
Democratic ticket in Delaware, but that
John II. Rodney, William G. Postles
and William p. Cannon are the three
Bryan electors.

-Four years ago Mr. Bryan essayed
to be a prophet on political and eco
nomic questions involved in the cam
paign. He made his predictions. and
not one Of them has been fulfilled. The
country has experienced four years OF
unprecedented prosperity and the
honor Of the flag has been upheld
wherever it was threatened or assail-
ed. Now Mr.. Bryan is a prophet once
more but he has no credit in his own
country.

FOR THE PROPERTIES

ley, a prominent Republican OF this

Republican candidate for governor.
This morning an Evening Journal re-
porter called on Mr.. Ta,ley and asked
him if he proposed to make the letters
public. He replied:
Il have nothing to say. further than
this: If l wrote letter to Mr.. Hum
it was private in character, and il he
wrote me letter in return it also is
private. 1t would be manifestly i'm
proper for me to make public any pri-
yate and personal correspondence
which may have taken place between

There was a Bryan meeting in Della

cratic candidate for governor;
Peter L. Cooper, Jr., the Demo-
cratic candidate for attorney general;
and L. Irving Handy, a former repre-

Cooper. Mr.. Cooper praised Mr.. Ford,
Mr.. Handy praised both OF

Mr.. Handy. It was a case in which
mutual admiration reached its climax.
But what we want TO car particular
attention TO Is that Mr.. Handy was
hsssed when he used the words we
quote above. Those Kisses for ouT
fighting, dead and dying soldiers in the
Philippines are the fruits Of the efforts
Of Bryan and men Of his TX to climl

voters. and by attempting to tea
down and trample upon the American
flag. Taken at their face value, MI
