CHAPTERS ON THE GREAT DISCOVERIES

THE WORLDS pIsGoyERIE5RS Frs The Story Of
Tbousand Years. BY William Henry Johnson.
With Maps and Illustrations. Octave. PIP Xxx,
4l6 Boston: Little. Brown & Co.
This book is not the haphazard collection of
stories that is too often made TO do duty for
popular comDendium. In II the author has pur
sued a definite plan; he has described only such
VOYAGES as have been made with a view to
finding a sea route to the Indies, and has, he
saws. traced in outline that great movement
which starting early in the fifteenth century
with the awakening of Europe. has reached it's
final achievement in our own time 1t is. of
course an absorbingly interesting story-one
of the most interesting that human achieve
ment can offer; and it would be poor historian
indeed that should fail to make the telling at
tractive. He has described the adventures OF
Marco Polo. the early Portuguese navigators
Columbus, Vasco da Cana, Magellan and Yer
razano in the South, and of FrObisher, Davis
Drake Barents and Hudson in the North; then
the modern attempts in the Arctic regions hav-
ing the Northwest Passage for their object
few in number, comprising only Frankn's and
Nordenskj6ld's. since the many other Arctic
voyagers have devoted their energies TO reach
ing the Pole and not to finding passage that
has long since ceased to have any practical
commercial significance.
Mr. Johnson is keenly alive TO the pict
uresque and stirring features OF these historic
voyages as he is 10 the need OF accuracy in
dealing with them. We wish he were always as
keenly alive to the need of good English. his
style shows occasional lapses from elegance

With a cantankerousness that
was almost human in its persist
encv, the engine which furnishes
the motive power for the presses
and linotype machine in the
DELAwAREAN office, struck for
a. vacation on Saturday morning
last, and though furnished with
a bran new battery Monday, and
several other adjuncts to its
equipment, it refused to listen to
any argument persuasive or me-
chanical, brought to bear upon
it to act its part, until Thursday
morning. Hence the Wednesday
edition of the DELAWAREAN
reached its patrons a day late.
But it was as usual an excellent
edition, and like all good things
we have no doubt was heartily
enjoyed when it came. The arri-
val of to-day's edition on time is
proof that everything is serene
in the engine room once more.

When the vote was recorded in
the House Of Representatives on
Wednesday, which fastened upon
the island of Porto Rico the
tariff demanded by the trusts,
and made of it a colonial DEEPEN
dency, under government to be
appointed by the President, the
first step in imperialist legislation
was taken. The trusts demanded
this outrage upon a people to
whom we had guaranteed protec-
ton, and the Republican admin
istration obeyed their mandate.
The universal protest of indigna-
ton now going up all over the
country shows that in his insane
desire to placate the trusts, the
President has rung the death
knell of the Republican party.

WHERE RESPONSIBILITY BE-
GINS.


Referring to a remark made
by ex-President Cleveland in a
recent lecture regarding the luke
warm interest shown by large
class towards politics, because
they consider politics debasing, !"
the New York World of Thurs
day says.
Is not our real trouble rather that
the most of the American people, while
they take an intense, even passionate
interest in politics once the candidates
are up and the campaign is on, do not
take the slightest interest when the
decisions as to the character of their
laws and their public servants are
making-that is when the primaries
are holding and the delegates are Sc
Letting?
There is wisdom in evelyssword
OF this extract. Wisdom that is
worth weight of thought and
study. The real decision of a
party's policy, of the personnel of
its candidates is rendered at the
primaries. This is true beyond
question or argument, and just as
true also is it that there is a lack
Of interest in this feature of a
party's work that is always hurt
Jul to its best Interests. Not only
from a party standpoint should
this matter be considered, but
from the platform Of citizenship
also should it be given thought.
At the primaries are laid the
foundation of the policy to be
pursued, for here the men are
practically chosen who are to
carry into effect the policy deter
mined upon to enact the laws
which are to govern us E; to have
and to hold the well-being and
reputation of party or State in
their keeping.
Too often does the citizen who
has regard for honesty in legisla-
ton, or for wisdom in the choice
of public servants who are to
represent the State nationally,
deplore the fact that he has help
ed to place these responsibilities
in the hands of men who prove
themselves weaklings and un-
equal to the task when the test
meets them. Loudly he then
rails at what he terms a betrayal
OF the trust they have accepted
and tacitly pledged themselves to
perform. And too often at this
period he forgets or ignores the
tact that he himself is in great
measure responsible for the con-
dition which confronts him. He
neglected the primaries, or, if he
did participate therein, only per-
formed his duty in a perfunctory
manner. He did not realize that
his ballot at this stage was part
of the foundation of the struct-
ure which was to follow, and
when he gazes on the rotten fab
nc he has helped to construct, he
of course fails to see the founda-
ton itself was false.
Every voter should realize the
Importance of performing his full
duty at primary election. If
he is true to his party for its
principles and the party's sake,
his part in campaign, as free
agent really in a great measure
ends there. When once he has
by his ballot delegated to others
the power to act for hiInathose
