THEY'RE AFTER D1CKEY

AS LEVY COURT FAILED TO RE-
ELECT HIM, TROUBLE IS AHEAD
FOR HIM.
The trustees of the poor of New Cas-
tie county will meet at Farnhurst to-
morrow in regular monthly session. II
will be the first meeting following the
failure Of the Levy Court to elect a
successor to Lewis T. Dickey, the Will
mingtOn member of the board, whose
term expired the last OF February.
Under the Constitution of the state,
Mr.. Dickey claims that he is yet a
member Of the board. but several mem
bers of the body are of a different
opinion concerning Mr.. Dickey's
status, hence the storm which is
threatened at the meeting tomorrow.
1t will be remembered that Commits
sicner John Mealey, of this city, pre-
vented the reelection Of Mr.. Dickey to
the board by insisting that John ].
Hanley be elected. This same Influence

MORAL. ABETTORs OF CRIME.

Mr.. Diclde. the intemperate temper
ance orator, said at Epworth NJ. E.
Church: Furthermore. liquor deal
ers, according to their numerical
strength. I'll more offices. hold more
sway and are more largely consulted
than any other class Of men. Even
many Of the preachers vote, after hay-
ing preached prohibition, for either re-
publican or democratic candidates"
Without attempting to verify or dis
pute the allegation that the saloon is
more powerful than the church, we de-
sire TO impress upon churchmen that
the evils in politics are certainly due
to the indifference. ignorance, unchar-
table holier-than-thou OF the moral
elements of communities. No one can
intelligently dispute the fact that the
decent outnumber the indecent in
every election district They are lazy
when it comes to doing work for which
there is no other immediate reward
than morality. They will not fight inn
morality by facing it in battle at a
primary. They regard themselves as
too good to meet the vicious in oper
contest Therefore they scornfully
stay away from the fight and permit
the vicious to win the government
without any other contests than such al
occur among ourselves over a diyi
sion of the spoils.
Then, seeing that the vicious hav,
won the Offices these holy and bigote,
cranks damn the political parties tina
begged their help to save them from
the vicious. They proceed to organic
little parties OF cranks devoted to on
idea and delighting to denounce al
who have more than one idea: the
strengthen the most vicious by usin
their ballots against the parties tina
would effect reforms; and thus the
forever preclude reforms.

whole people informed of the events OF
the day is the purpose of newspapers.
The support and judgment OF relig-
ious publications cannot determine
what is a newspaper. Such a court is
the tribunal where one may properly
apply for an opinion as to what is use
ful TO the church as an institution;
but It is not qualified to pass upon the
question, what constitutes a news
paper.
It might crafty Mr.. Sheldon to see
the Capital finally conducted as a
Christian newspaper, but he did not so
conduct it.
1t is quite possible that what he
published "is more important than
news" but it was news that he prom
ised. We do not, in any phase Of life,
reject everything except the most i'm
portant because the most important is
not enough. We cannot dispense with
it; but we do not for that reason have
to reject all else. We do not have to
choose between themost important and
the least important, but may have
both.
The height OF Mr.. Sheldon's offend
ing is in his sacrilege. He undertook
to impersonate Jesus in a secular role;
and instead of doing the work he
promised he did something else and
used the opportunity to procure money
upon promises that ne did not fulfill;
and proposes to make his sacrilege a
means of procuring yet more money by
exhibiting himself as a lecturer. Peo-
pie will go to see him much as they
pay to see any other freak.

JOSEPH KINSLER FINED FOR
DRAWING A KNIFE ON A JEW.
In Municipal Court this morning
Joseph Kinsler faced Judge Ball on the
charge of disorderly conduct. The
complainant was Joseph Selinger. a

drawing a knife on him. Kinsler was
fined $40 and costs.
Charged with trespass and being

II was shown in the testimony that
Gibson had boarded train at Havre de
Grace, stealing a ride to this city. The
defendant, however, stated that he had
bought a ticket, but proceeded to get
himself so badly mixed that his state
ment was Of no value to him.
William Hagen, charged by his
mother with disorderly conduct, was

paid out $25s, 900 in charity to its mem
bers and those depending on them in

TRANSACTED klIIlk
BUT ROUTINE BUSINESS THIS
MORNING.
At the meeting of the Street and
Sewer Department this morning bids
were received from manufacturers of
street sweepers for an article to re-
place the one damaged some time ago
in a collision with a street car. The
old sweeper was an American Bonard-
Castle. Bids were furnished by this
company and by w. G. Ausell, of New
York, and 0. S. Kelley of Springfield,
Ohio. The Ausell sweeper is an i'm
provement on the Bonard-Castle cost
ing $3.50. The other is worth $3.50, but
has an advantage over the others-that
of catching the dirt as it is swept up.
The secretary was instructed to order
"a Bonard-Castle, similar to the old
one.
A letter was also received from p. II.
Stroud & Co, of Chicago, asking per-
mission to senda Hearst patent hand
sweeper on trial. This sweeper is push
ed along in the order of a baby car
riage and costs SIS. The board de-
cided TO give Stroud e Co. a favorable
reply to its request.
At the suggestion of Mayor Fahey
permission was granted the Diamond
State Steel Company to use Lobdell
and other streets as it sees fit during
the extensive improvements now being
made to the plant
Some weeks ago the board spoke of
disseminating certain streets in the city.
Before proceeding, however, it was
thought better to ask the advice of
City Solicitor Conrad. Today a reply
was received from him, which question
ed the directors authority to Obliterate
any street in the citl, as according to
law recently made, that right is
only allowable to the Court of General
Sessions. Action was deferred, pend
ing an investigation.
It was agreed to apply for bids for
the printing Of the annual report Of
the directors. Notices will be publish
ed in two newspapers.
The weekly payroll amounted to
S35737; monthly. $599. Secretary
Wiley's collections during the week
were S326.23.
