The most interesting question of the
campaign today is whether or not Sen.
ator Scott Of West Virginia praised the
trusts, particularly the Standard OIL,
at the Roosevelt dinuer in New York
City, last Friday night. Senator Scott
and the others who were at the table
say he did not The only reporter who
was present Gays he did. What he is
reported as having said is this: Right
here, l want TO say believe 10 trusts.
They are a good thing. The Standard
Oil Company put in its pipe lines to
all the small towns where oil is pro.
duced. and II it was not for the Stand,
ard Oil Company this prosperity that
we have wouldn't be there today"
But why should the Republicans be
so anxious to deny that Senator Scott
thus praised the trusts? The trusts
are the creation Of Republican legisla
tiou, and the party should glory in
them. Certainly it caunot escape re-
sponsibility for thom.
Mark Hanna said there was not a
single trust IN the country, and his
statement is simply ridiculous. Sena.
tor Scott says there are trusts, and that
trusts are good thing. And the Re.
publican party wants to make it appear
that be said nothing OF the kind.
Are the Republican managers afraid
that Senator Scott will prove another
Burchard?

Look TO the Levy Court.


In addition to voting for electors for
President and Vice President, the oiti-
gems of New Castle county have local
interests that should attract their
attention before the day of election, on
Tuesday next. And one of the most
important Of those interests is the
, election of members Of the Levy Court.
1t is fact beyond dispute that the
present Levy Court is extravagant and
corrupt. BY the fortunes of politics,
but two members OK the present body
are candidates for re election. One is
John j. Mealey of the Third district
the other is John Lynn Of the First
district.
OF Mr.. Mealey, it can be truly said
that he has been an honest and con-
soienticus member of the court, and
has clean record behind him; there
fore, he deserves the re- election that
seems fcregone conclusion in his dis
trict.
Of the other member, John Lynn of
the Frat district, it can be said with
truth that the taxpayers of his district
have an accounting with him. He has
spent large sums of money in his dis
triot for which the taxpayers cannot
see much compensating benefit. 1t re.
mains for Mr.. Lynn TO explain this
discrepancy with his constituents. II
he can do this satisfactorily. be will
be entitled to a reelection; If he can
not, he will deserve defeat.

The business situation.

Bradstreet's says that despite some
Irregularities, growing out OF unseason-
able weather conditions, heavy Price
changes in leading staples or increased
conservatism in some trades as the
election approaches, the general Eusi-
ness situation as whole is encourage
ing, and new elements or manifesto.
tions of strength appear from time to
time. Perhaps the most notable feature
of the week is found in the industrial
situation, which hns been distinctly
improved by the apparently official and
final action taken toward ending the
anthracite. coal miners strike. In view
of the fact that most of the miners
have obtained increased wages, the
effect on business in the producing
regions can hardly be otherwise than
beneficial, while the trade at large
must reap benefits from the return TO
normal conditions. Other lines OF trade
which showed improvements arc those
of shoes, leather and kindred PRODUCTS
at the East, which are reaping the
benefit Of better distribution in the
country ut large, and rather more than
an average business has been done in
wool at the Eat, with holders more
inclined to demand full prices for their
products. The continued weakness Of
cotton is an element of uncertainty in
the goods trade, but the firmness OF
these products, in the face of the 1l5c.
decline In price from the highest, is
tribute to the strength of the market
as whole. /"
R. q. Dun & Co.'S Review says:
THE elections mean a great deal TO all
business Interests, and, although con-
hdence in the future is seen on every
hand, it is but natural that men do not
care to take unnecessary chances and
therefore delay new engagements Us far
as possible until after the ballots are
counted. But contracts for steel rails
for the season thus far are within so, 600
tons of last years heavy bookings, aud
the confidence in an ultimate marked
improvement is so strong that all raw
materials are firm. The weather over
great part OF the country has been
favorable for agricultural operations,
which are progressing we'll, and in the
East the unreasonable temperature has
retarded general trade comparatively
little, rs there has been no great
stimulus yet this season. Bank clear
ings for the week make better COMPARE
suns. For New York alone there is q
decrease OF only l.3 per cent, as com
pared with 1899, while the gain is 81. 4
FER cent over 1893. To soms extent
this is accounted for by heavy dealings
10 stocks and the handling Of gold
brought here. For the leading cities
outside New York the showing is but
little less favorable, a decrease OF per
cent from 1899 but gain OF 2i.2 per
cent over 1898 for the week. Railroad
earnings have also taken another elight
turn for the better, gaining SO per
cent over 1899 and 1919 per cent over
1895 for October thus far. Liabilities
of failures in three weeks of October
were S,046, 2T3, OF which %, 307, 26l
were in manufacturing and 81. pa, 1872
in trading coucerns. Failures for the
week were 205 in the United Suites,

The Sussex Republican of George.
town, which has resolately refused,
from the first, to submit to the inso,
lent Addicks domination Of the Repub-
lican party, gives the following clear
and convincing statement of the reasons
that influence the Republicans Of Sus.
sex county in opposing the party of Adj
dicgs:
The division existing in Republican
ranks in Sussex county is due solely to
the dug-in- the -manger policy of the
lieutenants of Addicks, whose only am
bition is the success of thei1 master.
As long as men are influenced solely by
an ambition to serve the purpose Of one
man to the exclusion of any and every
thing else and at any cost, party SUCCESS
is Improbable if not impossible. This
anxiety to advance the desires of Ad-
dicks does net grow out of any recog-
milton of the mans particular fitness
for the high office of United States
Senator, or from an admiration of his
personality because of his manifold
virtues, but is an exhibition Of seryility
OF the most despicable and vicious
kind. These men seek to advance their
own personal and political fortunes
through AddioKs. Some enter his SER
vices and are placed on his payroll
and earn their monthly stipend by
exerting their influence in his behalf.
1t is business arrangement with them
and they make the most of it. But they
should make this relation Plain to all
men and not pose as self-saci iticing
citizens whose only desire is TO advance
the interest of the State and party. 1t
is unfortunate that division should
exist in the Republican vote. 1t means
Democratic success. The division exists
because the Union Republican organi-
cation, through its chairman, q. X.
Layton, refused the fair offer Of COM
promise offered by the Republican or
ganization and demanded that the
whole Republican ticket be Withdrawn.
The proposition aud refusal is interest
ing reading to every Republican who
has any desire to know the cause of the
present division. The seltishness Ut
Addicks has caused Democratic sue
cess in the past and will in the future
as long as he Is supported in his selfish
purposes by certain men who are in
fuenced by their own selfish purpose
instead of desire to advance Repuhli-
can principles and success.
This statement appeals convincingly
to the disinterested aud dispassionate
observer. That it is true statement
none can doubt. 1t gives the case of
the Republicans and the reason for the
faith that is in them-why they stand
up for principle and refuse to submit
to selfish domination.
We believe that Republicans through
out the State will generally commend
and follow the course of the Republic
cans Of Kent and Sussex counties.

A Political Mark raplcy.

The Mark Tapley Of politics in this
country is Mr.. j. q. johnson OF
Kansas, chairman OF the executive
committee OF, the National Democratic
Committee. Mr.. johnson can see no
other outcome Of the election than the
triumphant success Of Bryan. In the
COURSE of an interview in Chicago, he
said.
"Wo expect Mr.. Bryan's speeches to
BIZ delivered here this week to carry
Chicago and Illinois for the Demo.
cratic ticket. Four years ago his
speeches in Chicago in the closing
days of the campaign saved 20, 600
votes fer the ticket. This year he can
do better, because conditions have
changed. Today our chances OF carry
ing Illinois are as good as those of the
Republicans Mi. Brynn's speeches
here will change the tide and, be-
lieve, carry the State y
Mr.. johnson was asked IL lie was
going to make final estimate Of the
result OF the election by States. He
said in reply,
A short time ago / issued an esti-
votes for Mr.. Bryan. | shall not change
that table unless it is TO make few
States out of the doubtful column and
add them TO Mr., Bryan's grand total.
Why, the Republicans are slumbering
on volcano. and they do not know it.
The eruption will take place next
Tuesday, and the marty will be lucky
to escape determination.
1--WE will carry New York by 30, 900
majority, Indiana by %, and Ohio
by 10000. Maryland, West Virginia
and Delaware ars as safe for Bryan as
Texas or South Carolina. have Just
received letter from the chairman of
our State Committee in California
assuring me that the State will go for
Bryan by 10000. We will carry Min
nesota and Wisconsin. In Wisconsin
there is now strong movement in our
favor, and should not be surprised to
SEE the State go for Bryan by 10000.
''Mr. Bryan will carry every State
west OF the Missouri River, with the
exception Of Wyoming and possibly
North Dakota. He will have 10, 600
plurality in Kansas and 10000 in
Nebraska, The Republicans don t
understand the conditions In those
States. Bryan is much stronger there
than he was four years ago. This
election is going to be revolution of
the people, and Bryan is going 10
sweep the country"
Mr.. johnson may be right or Mr..
johnson may he wrong, but, at any
rats, there is nothing pessimistic in
his political makeup. He is an
optimist of the first water, and he
views the campaign through the rosiest
kind Of Democratic spectacles.
However, there is little time left for
speculation. The election takos place
next Tuesday, and We feel safe in
promising that Every Evening will tell
the full result Of the battle of ballots
one week from today.
