WARNING 10 PARApERs

We are averse to saying a word IN
criticism Of the big Republican parade
ON Saturday night, because we are In
hearty sympathy with its sentiments
and purposes. 1t was a grand out
nouring of Republicans to celebrate
Glorious political victory, national in
its scope and importance. therefore,
what we have to say will be taken In
kindly spirit by those who took part
in Il and contributed 50 largely to the
Measure OF the people. Many appar-
entity irresponsible men and boys in
the line carried Roman candles which
they fred with an utter disregard for
the safety of the spectators along the
line of march and especially of those
who occupied the upper windows and
other points Of vantage in the business
houses in Market street. We sugges
that in future parades such firework
be placed in the hands Of none bu
those who know that a ball from
good Roman candle is almost as dan
gerous to women and children as
bali from a rifle. and that particula
care should be exercised in so guidin
it's direction that 1t will expend il
! force and fire effect in the air and nC
! among the spectators.

Court in making allowances and ex-
penditures. The present laws should
be amended so that the workingman
who owns his own property and pays
taxes upon it should not be obliged to
have something added to his taxes the
next year to make up for the nom
payments of those who hold property
upon which taxes have not been paid
for several years. And it must be
remembered that our tax collection
laws are so lax that even when prop
erty is sold for taxes, most persons are
afraid to buy it, because they are not
sure of the soundness of the title ac-
companying such sale.

OUTLOOK is ENCOURAGING

United States Minister Conger re-
CARDS the situation at Pel1in as still
critical, but regards the outlook for
negotiations as improving.
The commander-in-chief OF the in
ternational forces in China, Count Won
Waldersee, received Prince Ching and
Ii Hung Chang, the Chinese peace
commissioners, at the imperial palace
in PelSin, and demanded that the Chi
.nese troops be withdrawn from the
vicinity of the territory occupied by
the allied forces, adding that IL this
were done the dispatch Of military ex-
petitions by the allies would be dis
continued
Chinese officials state that "a GER
tain Power" has demanded leave tc
place troops upon a hill overlooking
Canton. No foreign authority confirms
the assertion, but the Cantonese con
tinue to fear French designs upon the
city.
The viceroys OF the Yang Use region
have stopped theshipments of the trib.
ute Of rice 10 Sian Flu, being afraiC
that the allies would intercept them.
A dispatch to London news agenc!
from China says Great Britain hai
protested against the transfer Of VI
Chang to the governorship Of WI
Chang. Ii Hung Chang and Princ'
Ching have memorialized the throne
and Yu Chang will probably not be al
lowed to take up the new post.

An Amazing Surrender

From Milford News and Advertiser.
In a leading editorial on Wednesday
last the Morning News came out in
advocacy OF the claims Of the gasman
to be elected United States senator
from Delaware. In some respects the
article was frank, in others disingenu-
Gus. The motive for the change Of
base was accounted for in the declara
tion that lin the last analysis exped
iency is about all there is in politics.
Fortunately for the state there are
many good people and good newspap-
ers who do not accept the dictum OF
the News. but since that paper en-
phatically enunciates the dictrine and
reiterates it in a subsequent issue, its
motives in changing base are obvious.
But anyone with even the most pri-
mary conception Of politics, using the
word in any other sense than mere
partisanship, must refuse assent 70

A MAGNIFICENT TURNOUT

We congratulate those who conceived
and carried to completion the plans
for the big Republican parade on Sat
urday night. and also those earnest
advocates Of true political principles
who decorated and illuminated their
homes and places Of business for the
occasion. It was magnificent turn
out, creditable to those who arranged
it and also to those who participsed
in it.
Several Of the leading manufacturing
concerns in the city had floats in line

BY its action at the reviewing stand
on Saturday night the Francis S. Brad

ed itself to much adverse criticism.
Seated on the stand as the particular
guest of honor was Governor elect

ed up it naturally was expected that it,
like other organizations In the line,
would give the governor-elect appro-
pirate recognition. But it did nothing
of the kind. By prearrangement some
leather-lunged worshiper Of the gas
man yelled, Three cheers for ]. Ed

THE NEWS CORRECTED

We wish to state that the Morning
News has never applied the words
'untruthful and insolent" to anything
written by Mr.. Howard Pyle. In the
case OF his recent letter We said that
he had turned a public discussion into
a personal matter, and that was all
that we said about It, as anyone can
verify by looking at the paper.-Morn-
ing News.
ANY person who will consult the edi-
torial columns OF the Morning News
of Saturday will find therein the fol-
lowing;
But the Evening Journal was so un-
truthful and insolent yesterday in the
contributions to its discussion with
this iournal-following the example
perhaps. Of Mr.. Howard Pyle, who
turned what was designed purely as
public discussion of common party In
terests into personal matter-tha'
we can discover no public utility II

Now. if the Evening Journal became
"untruthful and insolent" by follow

II follows that, in the opinion Of tn
Morning News, MIR. Howard Pyle wa
Duntruthful and insolent." But, as
matter of fact, neither Mr.. Howar
pyle nor the Evening Journal wa
"untruthful and insolent." Both tol
the cold bare truth-that the Mornin
News has gone over to Addicks-an
condemned the paper for its double
dealing and treachery.

PRINCIPLE VS.. ExPEDIENcY

There are a good many Union Re-
publicans who do not love Mr.. Addicks,
or especially admire him, but tolerate
him from motives OF expediency-and
expediency is about all that there Is in
politics in the last analysis, provided
that YOU stop short Of illegality and
crime.-Wilmington Morning News.
No man can justify his support of j..
Edward Addicks as a political leader In
this State, without lowering his stand
ard Of morality, and no better example
OF this fact is needed than the above
We take It that the majority OF those
who have given their support and al
legiance to the Republican party in
years gone by have done so because
there were certain principles 1t was
supposed TO stand for. In 1891 many
Democrats left their party and t2ined
that OF their political enemies because
they stood for the union Of the states
as opposed 10 disunion. In 1896, and
again as late as the 9th Of November
OF the present year, thousands of
Democrats left their party and voted
with the Republicans because they re-
pudiated the doctrines OF the Demo
cratic party under the leadership OF
William jennings Bryan. We belieye
these votes were cast from principle.
Men became ostraclzed from their
party, lost their political influence, and,
for the time being, became political
putcasts for the sake of their princi-
pies. Yet in the face Of victory
won largely by the help OF such men,
and because IN this campaign, the Re
publican party has been the party OF
principles, we are gravely told by a
journal that in the past has professed
at least to recognize political decency
that "expedlency is about all that there
is In politics in the last analysis, pro-
vided that you step short OF illegahty
and crime
Compare this declaration with the
utterances OF the Morning News IN
some Of its periods Of spasmodic pub
lie spirit and civic virtue, and mark
the apoIogetic and lowered moral tone
of the Addicksite. This is a fine stand
ard b. set UP for the young men OF
this state to follow There is no prln-
ciple, truth, honesty, virtue or moral
