resolutions concerning the Sunday ex-
cursions which are brought Ito Mary

Liquor is sold en- route and during the

noxious to the people of the town. The
pastor of MT. Zion charge is asked to

MANY HEADS BOWED AT
GRAVE OF SAMUEL WHARTON
Well-Known Kent Countian, and a
Conference Academy Trustee
Has Passed Away.

:"
Samuel Wharton, 70 years of age,
and one of Dover's best-kniown
citizens, was laid at rest yesterday
afternoon by "a large concourse of sor-
rowing neigihbors and friends ait Lake.
side Cemetery yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Wharton passed away early on
Sunday morning, after an illness that
lasted fcr several weeks-nearly all
summer. He was a remarkably patti
emit sufferer and until a few days be-
fore his death could entertain his
many callers with as little regard for
his illness as though he We're in pos
session of all his physical vigor. "A
severe fire in his neighborhIood during
which he had to- be moved bodily from
his home, served not Ito undermine his
faculties and patient demeanor. One
week ago he began to sink rapidly and
the end soon came.
The funeral yesterday afternoon was
largely attended by people from all
parts Iof the county. Rev. Alfred
Smith, d. D., pastor of Wesley M. e.
Church, conducted the services, assist
ed by Principal Vaughan S. Collins of
the Wilmington Conference Academy
They paid high tribute to THE
integrity, fealty and usefulness of THE
deceased, who had long been identified
with the interests of the Methodist
Church on this Peninsula.
"A quartet of Dover singers, consist
ing of MIR. and Mrs. Carlow, Mrs.
Wolcott and Mr.. Taylor, sang touching
verses during the service. The pail
bearers were Wilson l.. Cannon, Man
love Hayes, Caleb S. Pennewill, Joseph
T. Hoffecker,. John S. Collins and AS
semblyman John Satterfeld.
Another touching tribute of respect
to the memory of the deceased was the
attendance, i'm body, of the faculty
and students of the Wilmington Con-
ference Academy. AL the students
marched ito the house and ait the grave
they each threw in bouquet of flow
ers as a last tribute to the man who
had for years served faithfully as {
trustee lof the Academy.
Mr. 'Wharton had spent nearly al
his life in Kent county. He was &
farmer near Magnolia when the farm
ers' life was a precious one, and ac
cumulaited comfortable fortune by
wise management of his farm, ant
lal.erward, upon his reItirement ant
removal Ito Dover in careful invest
ment. In politics, MIR. Wharton ha(
also been measurably active, being al
ways interested i'm the success of tIht
Democratic party.
He leaves wife, three married
daughters and one SON.

Presidential electors might not have
margins of more than 200 Ito 300.
Religious Differences Figure.
Influence MAY be exerted ON ma
ltionhl issues by THE candidates for
Governor. Religion enters into Della
ware politics, and it lis reflected in the
candidates. john Hunn, the Republi-
can candidate, who was selected by the
Addicks faction and accepted by the
Regular. Republicans, is of Quaker
affiliations. The Qual1ers are distrust-
full of THE Mckinley Administration
because of dts colonial policy, and
Hunn's candidacy ON THE State ticket
is expected to have some effect i'm
keeping 1.-The Quakers in lime for the
NATIONAL ticlet.
"Peter j. Ford, the Democratic cam
didate for Governor, is Catholic, and
it was alleged, would lose the votes of
many Meithodists in Kent and Sussex
counties who are Democrats. How
ever, I have found MO signs of KNOW
Nothing sentiment, and If Mr.. Ford
suffers lit will be at the hands of "a
faction in his own party which is not
moved by religious intolerance. His
nomination seems to be strong one
from party standpoint and likely ITO
help the Democratic national ticket.
Prohibitionists are Active.
"Prohibitionists in Delaware are
active. In the last Presidential CAM
paign they cast 500 votes. Some of
THE more enthusiastic ones believe that
ldhis year they will poll a Thousand.
Their leaders, including one or two
Methodist ministers, are making bit
ter attacks on President Mckinley be-
cause of the army canteen. If they
increase their vote materially dit will
be ait the expense of the Republicans,
yet not to the degree which lis sup
posed.
"In Wilmington the Prohibitionists
are mostly of Republican antecedents
but in the southern part of THE State
they are Democrats. So an increase
fBhe Prohibition vote all over the
Static would cause Democratic as well
as Republican losses, though not in
the same ratio"

QUARLES VS. QUAY.

Tn. Junior senator from Wisconsin
made his first extended speech in the
upper house last Monday, and it was n
good one and in good cause. He spoke
in opposition to the seating of Matt
Quay, the unpleasant republican boss Of
Pennsylvania who was an applicant for
n seat in the senate on the certificate Of
Gov. Stone, one of his own creatures. II
is well remembered that Quay was un-
able ln-get a majority Of the-Pennsyl-
Vania legislature 30 vote for him, but
the opposition being unable to unite on
any one man vacancy resulted. So
Quay had himself appointed by the gov
crnOr, and has been working night and
day since TO get the senate to admit him
to seat The senate committee on cleo.
tions reported against his admission and
Senator Quarles spoke in support of the
committee report.
He did not advert directly to Quay'-
bad record and unworthness for the
position hut confined himself to dis
CussiOn Of the construction of the plain
and simple language Of the constitution
covering the case. In doing this he wa,

MORE ON IMPERIALISM.
he Editor of Tho jpjIOt,

TO The Editor Of The Pilot.
In II communication to your paper of
the past week it was the endeavor to as
certain by ''dead-reckoning' the exact
position of the ship of state and Of those
entrusted with its guidance 1t began
by defining liberty and asserted that
liberty properly consists in not being
forced to be regulated by another" 1t
was discovered or disclosed that VIM
Mckinley and his adherents are occupy
ing to-day precisely the same ground
that jefferson Davis and his adherents
occu pied in 1860; that their attitude
toward liberty was exactly and in every
way similar They differ only in their
method of maintaining their attitude
Davis on his part for that purpose, would
| fight liberty to its death with fire and
sword Mckinley, on the other hand, for
his purpose, will try to lure liberty to
it's death by soft, seductive and sugary
arguments, by demagogy and by false
protestations of good faith and good in.
tentions; and because it is easier to de.
lude than to drive a people the nation
the people and liberty are in greater per
il to-day than in 1860 or at any other
time since the founding of the govern
ment. The people ought to see and know
this aud ought not to delude nor deceiv,
themselves, nor suffer themselves to b,
deluded, with the notion or belief tina
they can rob millions of men of thei,
rights and still preserve their own liberty
This presentation may seem harsh an,
even exaggerated by some. But thos,
who think thus have need only to refe
to the speeches of Senators Hoar and Ma
son, Of Representatives Littlefeld an,
Lorimer and to the utterances of Har
rison. Edmunds and many others. b,
attending to these their minds would b.

suppose they would oppose his policy I'M
less there existed the gravest reasons for
SO doing.
Mr.. Mckinley has engaged in an en-
terprise in which there is neither glory,
honor nor profit; an enterprise fraught
with danger and which constitutes a
crime crime which admits of no ex-
cuse, palliation or defense. And because
it is indefensible all argument in support
of it must, of necessity, be false, or sophis-
teal or vile demagoguism.
1t is already reported that the Phila-
delphia platform will declare that re-
publicans have kept every pledge made
in 1896. A plank of that character
would of course be irrelevant and who'll
ly beside the question. 1t may without
prejudicing the contention be granted
that they have not only kept all the
pledges made in 'g6 but have kept almost
everything else that was in sight. But
in all this they have not kept the faith,
and they know it.
Mr. Mckinley before the Ohioans, in
cited by his own fear at the bent of the
people, tried to dispel their fear. And
their fear he professed or preferred to re-
gard as a passing whim. THERE'S reason
for believing that what he mistook for a
passing within is well grounded deep
seated and firm conviction He denied
imperialism but his denial is not, as has
been shown, in accord with the facts and
his language betrayed him. He of course
INDUCED in his customary cant about
the flag, the warm glow of patriotism
burning in the hearts of men, duty, des-
tiny and prosperity, and juggled with
the name of Lincoln whose tenets he re-
pudiates when counter to his purpose.
Since the Ohioans were disposed to listen
with patience and with open 'mouthed
admiration to his discourse it may be
profitable to note some of these elemen-
tary topics And first as to the flag
| The flag is the emblem of freedom, of
liberty. 1t means that every man or
body of men over whom it may be hoist
ed cannot and shall not be forced to be
regulated by another. 1t should be kept
sacred 1t should be revered. 1t should
not be Haunted on every trivial occasion.
1t should be half -masted' only TO honor
some one who has rendered some signal
service to the country. Duty demands
and requires the people to see that the
meaning of the flag be not perverted and
to transmit the government unimpaired
to their successors.
Patriotism is that love or self-interest
which impels men to perform and to DC
their righteous duty. The destiny of the
nation is in the hands of the people. II
they play the part Of men, are virtuous
honest and true. are guided by reason
and not by passion, prejudice or selfish
ness, do not lose the power to distinguish
right from wrong the true from the
false. "A wise statesman from craft,

reasonably intelligent the destiny Of the
nation will be grand and glorious, other
wise an evil, an inglorious and miser

The Mohammedan Sultan OF Turkey
is disinclined to put 100000 into the
contribution box of the Christian mis-
sionaries, even when urged to generos-

scruples. His dervishes may have told
him that such payment would encour-
age the unholy work of dogs OF 'Gbe-

he needs the money for himself.

AMERICAN SCHOOLS

Archbishop Corrigan has written a
diocesan letter in which he violently at
tacks the American public school sys-
tenn. He claims that the state has usurp-
ed the parental right of directing the
education of children, and that there Is
no such thing as freedom OF educatlon
SO long as children must be taught IN
public schools supported by the taxation
of all the people. The archbishop Is
wrong, and his letter is mistake. At
tacks by the Catholic clergy on the com
mon schools have become very infre'
duent, and many clergymen of that de-
nomination now openly support them
while thousands Of Catholic young men
and women are enrolled as public school
teachers. This helps to show that pub
lie education is recognized as necessity
even among those who also approve OF
private religious instruction. There can
not be public religious instruction, FOR
the constitution forever prohibits 1t.
be taught and financially supported by
each denomination in its own way with
ont interference or assistance by the
government The fathers recognized the
futility Of attempting to encourage, re-
press or regulate any kind of religious
opinion, and 50 they definitely separated

wisdom of this But they also knew
that ignorance, particularly in a repub-
lie, is weakness They said, THE peo-
pie Of this republic must be made intel
ligent, or it cannot exist. To insure an
intelligent people, they provided non
sectarian public schools in which non
religious, mot anti-religious) elementary
instruction should be given. 1t is I'M
necessary to recite the success Of this
system, nor its measureless influence on
the American people, nor its impregna-
BILE place in our polity. Everyone knows
all this 1t may be an invasion Of par
entail rights. abstractly considered. Per
haps some may feel that parents should
be permitted to send their children to
which school they please or to none at
all. In monarchy, where the ultimate |
responsibility for good government does
not rest on the people themselves such |
n view of parental rights might he per
Missile. But where the very existence
Of the state depends upon the collective
wisdom Of the people in it, it would be
suicidal TO permit men and women to
grow mp with what education their par
ents had leisure or means TO impart The
state must preserve itself by taking over
from the parent burden which he usu
ally has neither the skill nor the time 10
carry, even il he should have the inclin-
alton. And the state must assume this |
function without interfering with the
parents guaranteed right to direct the
religious growth Of his child in what |
way soever he may see fit. All this is |
accomplished by the American school |
system. Ample time is allowed for re
ligious study in the home or in such
schools as the denominations may choose
to maintain for the purpose Archbishop
Corrigan, nor any other man, nor any |
set of mon, can improve on the Americ |
an educational scheme for America. Nor |
can they abolish it.
