MR. PAITlSnNlS nESCENT

We are surprised that Former Gov
mnor Robert E Pattlson, Of Pennsyl-
vania, who heretofore has been regard
ed as one OF the safest and most in
telligent Democrats in the country,
should sink to the low level OF the
demagogue, but he has done It, and
must be measured in the future by the
standard he has fixed for himself in
this campaign. Mr. Pattison first won
distinction by his honest administa-
ton OF the Office Of comptroller of Phil
adelphia. Recognizing his popularity
with all classes Of the people. the Dem
Gratis nominated him for governor at
time when Pennsylvania was ripe for
a political revolution. He was elected,
and gave the people a clean and capa-
BILE administration. After he retired
from Office he was mentioned frequent
ly for the Democratic nomination for
president. but nothing ever came Of it.
Now he is on the stump for Bryan.
This, II he were conducting himself
in a dignihed manner, would be conde-
sconslon for man Of his public rep
utation, but the association seems to
carry with It desire to make his ut
terances beft Democratic cam
paign In which treason is the keynote
In q recent speech Former Governor
pattison rallied against the Mckinley
administration for the course II has
pursued in China. His words were
lil-chosen and many Of his assertions
false. President Mckinley did the only
thing possible to be done in such an
emergency. He rescued Minister Con-
ger and the other Americans in China
who had not been killed by the fanat-
ical Boxers. No step was taken by
him until he was satisfied that the
! Chinese Imperial Government was
either impotent to suppress or secretly
abetting the anti-foreign uprising
Having rescued the Americans who's
lives were threatened he devoted him
self to restoring the Chinese Govern
ment to power and authority because
no negotiations looking to indemn.t.
for those who had suffered could b
begun until there was some stabl
government to negotiate with in tina
, behalf. Any intention of territorial ag
. grandizement was disavowed, and tn
attitude Of President Mckinley hal
much to do with saving China fror
partition by the European Powers. MI
: Pattison knows these things, and ye
E he insults the intelligence OF some c
p his hearers and attempts to play upo
]. the ignorance Of others, by twistin
e the truth or getting away from it a
y together

DUTY OF The HOUR

In another column we print a letter
written by John Shelton Williams. Of
Richmond, Va. which should be read
by every man who cares TO know how
Virginia Democrats stand on Bryan
ism. When he states that his views
are shared by all three OF the living
Democratic former governors OF Vir-
ginia and by the only Democratic
president the country has had in flfty
years, the Democrats Of Delaware
should pause and consider what It
would mean to the country should
Bryan succeed.
Mr.. Williams is well-known to many
Wilmingtonians. He was the organiz-
er OF and is now the leader in many
Of the most extensive enterprises in
the South, Virginia Democrat, with
all that that means, yet Mr.. Williams,
with three other men who have been
honored by the Democratic party OF
Virginia and ruled the state, appreciat-
ing the danger to the South which
surely would come from free silver
coinage-feeling that it is a real and
not an imaginary menace-refuses to
vote for Bryan and openly declares
for Mckinley.
Mr.. Williams, in the Seaboard All
Line and numerous Industries, repre-
sents 10000 employed men Of the bes
classes Of American citizens. He feel
responsibility that they should hav
their wages and steady work. Wit
Mckinley he sees prosperity; witt

sent by the War Department to the

the matter to Brigadier-Gen Haywood

Chicago expressed her political sem
timents on Saturday by observing
Prosperity Day" with monster COM
mercial and industrial parade for
which more than 100 brass bands fur
nished the music. Some idea of the
magnitude OF this Mckinley and Roose-
welt procession may be obtained from
the statement that It. took six hours
to pass the reviewing stand occupied
by National Chairman Hanna and
other distinguished guests. Business
houses closed for the day and the city
was decorated profusely. The sentl-
ment In favor OF the Republican plat

enthusiastic than in 1896; when the
tidal wave OF political honesty swept
over the country and buried Bryan

Six hundred luckless gold-seekers
have been brought home from Cape
Nome, Alaska, by the transport Law
ton. which was sent there by the Fed
eral Government to save them from
cold and starvation. Lured by the
many tales OF the richness of the min
eral deposits in the Cape Nome region
they dropped everything and rushed
there only to find disappointment and
destitution in what they believed to
be q land of promise. It is fortunate
for them that they were where gov
ernment aid could reach them before
the rigors Of an Arctic Winter had set
in fully to accentuate their misery
and. doubtless, end their days.

We want to say few words Of
serious import to the colored voters Of
the state, and particularly TO those
who reside in the city Of Wilmington.
The Democrats are sending out hum
dreds Of letters to colored men notify
ing them that they are registered illeg-
ally and must appear in court TO show
cause why their names shall not be
stricken from the registration lists be-
cause OF non-residence. All men,
whether white or colored. who receive
such notices are requested 20 carry
them at once to the headquarters OF
the Republican First District Commit
tee. No 101 East Ninth street and re-
ceive advice
The scheme Of sending out the no
tees is but another form of Democratic
intimidation. and the Republican First
District Committee is prepared to take
up each case individually and give th'
voter advice and protection in hii
rights and also to see that he is rep
resented properly before Judge Spru
ance in whatever proceedings the Dem
ocrats may see fit 10 take.
Let this fact be borne in mind: N
Republican who is registered propesl

lists, for Judge Spruance viii not as
sist any party to deprive any man {
his rights as an elector.
This latest Democratic trick convil
ces us that the registration law shoul
be amended. Il is absurd that a Den
ocratic committee or any other cor
mittee should have the power to issl

hundreds of our citizens from the

Il will require millions Of dollars to
dredge the Delaware river and bay as
they should be dredged to serve the
best interests Of the country's COM
merce. and the longer the government
persists in doing the work a little at

No one denies that it is one Of the

woefully in size and frequency.

senatorial struggle is now flying about.
The latest is pamphlet in light
biue cover entitled Senator Kenney of

engraving Of the senator, and the con-
tents relate solely to the senator The
reading matter consists Of an extract
from the proceedings OF the Thirty
seventh annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Veterinary Medical Association
held in Detroit In September, 1900, in
which II. S. Huidekoper eulogizes the
Delaware senator for his assistance in
getting through Congress the bill for
the organization OF veterinary corps
in the army. That Is all very well as

The regular quarterly meeting of the
Western railroad presidents and traffic
managers was held yesterday I'm New
York. There was a fairly large attend
ance. President Jeffery, of the Denver &
Rio Grande road, presided. Although the
Northern Pacific has not participated in
the work OF the subcommittee appointed
by this conference, Traffic Manager Han
naford. of that road, attende the meet
ing. The conference took a recess to en-
able some of the subcommittee to COM
plete their reports and prepare some new
suggestions for final action. Announce
ment was made that the question of dis
continuing the Interchange OF free passes
for employees of railroads will be consid-
cred by a m this afternoon. 1t
is probable that a proposition will be SUBJ
mitted TO the present conference to reor-
ganize the old transmissouri association,
with headquarters at Kansas City. The
idea is 10 create a strong organization
which shall exercise Jurisdiction over the
territory between the Missouri river and
Colorado common shipping points. Utah
common points may also be included with
In the boundaries. President Jeffrey said
that a very harmonious spirit prevailed
and he thought the outlook was bright.
The afternoon session was devoid of inter-
est because the more important matters
which had been submitted to divisional
subcommittee had not been disposed of.
The conference adjourned to meet again
this afternoon.

USE FOR WORKOUT RAILS
THE LAKE SHORE COMPANY is MAX
IsG AN INTERESTING TEST.
The Wabash VIII Build It's Toledo
Montpelier Cut-On-Thc Different
tiaI Question Causes Trouble.

The Lake Shore Railroad is making a
practical test OF steel ties made from worn
out steel rails. Under the process the old
rails are rercIled to fatten out the head of
the rail. Several months ago a number Of
these steel ties were placed under the track
on the Sandusky division. and a careful ex-
animation last week with a test track
gauge showed that the gauge of the steel
ties had not changed a particle since the
ties were first laid. The gauge showed that
the first three oak ties on each side were
also exact, while the fourth, fifth and sixth
wooden ties were found widened TO a con-
siderable extent. The Lake Shore people
are much pleased with the result OF the test.
1t IS stated that as the ties are of uniform
thickness they can be much better tamped
than wooden ties. and the base of the steel
tie being uniform it gives a uniform bear
ing. 1t is asserted that with a steel tie
the tracks can be maintained more evenly
than with a wooden tie. The average life
of a wooden tie is six years. and the re-
newal Of ties Is one of the heavy drains on
railroad companies, and the steady in
crease in weight OF equipment and the
higher speed that heavy freights are run
still further shorten the life of the wooden
road sees no reason why the steel tie made
from rails would not last twenty-five years
before deteriCrating TO any extent to neces-
state renewal.
