WE WANT NO ARNoLDIsM.

Under the above caption the Della.
warean ON August 10 last published q
lengthy editorial regarding rumors
concerning THE political honesty OF
certain men i'm this county. In
the course of the editorial we said:
Since the world began the ,traitor
an the ranks has been more dreaded
chan the open, opposing foe. His
work lis the more deadly because his
opportunity for harm lis greater.
Since the world began, the glitter OF
gold has always been able Ito lure men
from duty's paiah, to lead them to sink
honor, manhood and principle.
Has this enemy, driven Ito the last
ditch, realizing that in fair open fight,
he cannot hope to win, been led Ito
search for the rtrIaitor in our camp
FINALLY, HAS HE FOUND HIM? And
having found him is he using him?
These are queries THAT are forced
upon us by the rumons current now,
and THE varied statements of the same
trend which have gionle before. WE
hope the answer to the last two
questions may be am emphatic NO!
But we wish such steps taken as will
enable THAT answer Ito be rung unmis-
takably throughout the confines of this
historic old country of Kent, Iuhat
every Democrat may know i'm his
party associate he has brother tried
and true"
This publication was widely COM
mented on at the time and from GER
tain quarters harsh criticism was
heard. The rumors which called forth
these remarks have again been stirred
up. LAS will be seen by am editorial
clipping from the Every Evening and
published on this page to-day, the
trouble is said to be in theSixth Repre-
sentative district of this county. OF
the truth or falsity of these rumors
we aver nothing. The Sixth is a
strong Democratic district, filled with
solid, honest Democratic voters. These
voters need only have the danger of
treachery, if any exists, pointed out
to them, Ito insure action pointed and
emphatic.
A critical period i'm the States politi-
cal history has been reached. We
have faith that the Democratic voters
of the Sixth Representative District
will meet the issue which confronts
them as men and Democrats.

The Christian Work, ONE OF THE lead
ing religious family papers of the
country, sizes up Benjamin B. Odell,
Jr., Republican nominee for Governor
of New York, as a machine politician.
Boss Platt CONTROLS the machine
which manufactured the nominee, but
the people of New York will operate
the machinery which will dispose of
his candidacy in November.

On another page we publish an
extract from an article written by
Teddy Roosevelt which will furnish
very interesting reading for intelligent
colored men. Had Teddy told the
truth in reference to the action of the
famous Tenth Colored Cavalry it
would have been sad enough, but when
he brazenly charges these noted
fighters for their bravery in all fields
with cowardice, he did just what he
did when he charged the Democratic

There's another Presidential ticket
in the field. The National Party
met in New York last week and nomi-
matted Senator DionIelson Caffery of
Louisiana, for President, and Archi-
bald M. Howe of Massachusetts,, for
Vice-Presidenlt. The new party op-
poses trusts, imperialism and political
bossism," but fawors the gold stand
ard. The new party will likely be
short ON votes, but it's way up in
length of platform.

party with cowardice-he lied that he
might the better glorify himself. "A
bombastic boaster is this man whom
the Republicans have selected for the
Vice-Presidency, and he allows neither
truth NOR defamation of Others ito
block his way when blowing his own
horn The colored voters will rally
round this man who thus ISLANDERS
their race, and give him their endorse
ment.

The great heart of the North

The great heart of the North is
throbbing with sympathy for THE suf-
ferers at Galveston, and the sympathy
has taken practical shape. The first
trains to reach the stricken city were
loaded with supplies, doctors and nur-
ses from the North. Open handed and
liberal has been the giving i'm this
dark hour of Galveston's distress.
There's a strong bond between the
North and the Southland.

The Morning News says, 1.-The full
dinner pail seems to be worrying Col.
Bryan" Col. Bryan lis not alone in
his worry concerning the dinner pail
just now. Th'ere ARE about 100000
coal miners in Pennsylvania who are
giving the same subject much thought
Treble prices for powder and robber
prices at company's stores have
kept the dinner pails of these miners
pretty scantily furnished for some
time. The filling of these pals has
probably gone into Mark Hannas hat
as the coal trusts contribution.

NO TRUCKING FOR A SECOND
TERM.


No portion of Mr. Bryan's letter of
acceptance published in the Della
warean of Wednesday will impress the
thinking voter with its wisdom and
far reaching Importance more than
the following:
In my letter of acceptance of 1896.
l made the following pledge: so
deeply am / impressed with the mag
nitude of THE power vested by the
Constitution in the Chief Executive of
the nation and with the enormous in
fiuence which he can wiIeld for the
benefit or INJURY of the people, that
| wish to enter the office, if elected,
free from any personal desire, except
the desire to prove worthy of the con-
tidence of my countrymen. Human
Judgment is fallible enough when un-
biased by selfish considerations. and
in order THAT may not be tempted to
use the patronage of the office Ito ad-
vance any personal ambition, I hereby
announce, with all the emphasis which
words can express, my fixed determi-
nation not, under any circumstances,
to be candidate for reelection, in
case this campaign results in my cleo
tion.' Further reflection and observa-
tion constrain me to renew this
PLEDGE
Very readily will the intelligent
voter observe that this means MIR.
Bryan if elected will fbe unshackled
and free. He will NOT, like his prede-
cessor, be compelled Ito truckle
to this or that interest in
order to secure support THAI
will insure him denomination for the
office. Too plainly has this trucking
for policy been marked i'm the Admin
istration of Mr.. Mckinley in all dts
departments. Ut has been the load
stone which drew his Administration
from the path of safety and has been
his undoing. The American nation
has suffered from it. Few men have
filled the national Executive chair with
this ambition in their breasts, and
come forth unscajlhed. MIR. Mckinley
lis asslredly not one of them. Col
Bryan does not propose ITO make the
experiment History has proven that
it would in several instances have been
we'll for the nation and its people had
there been a Constitutional provision
in the national code prohibiting al
President from succession to the office,
just as there are in several of the States
and municipalities.
The American voter will see a guar
antee of honest, manly. unselfsh ad-
ministration of public affairs in this
pledge.

rhe Trail of Corruption in Kent"

%Ac AHtAA oA corruption IN hent,
(Byery Evening Editorial-Thursday ]
To many Democrats throughout the
State the failure of the Kent county
Democrats Ito agree upon "a candidate
for Representative i'm the General
Assembly from the Sixth district of
the county, at their recent convention,
was a great surprise. lit was supposed
that THE failure was by reason of the
difficulty in agreeing between two con-
testing candidates for the honor, but a
letter from our Dover correspondent,
which lis printed ON the first page of
this issue, puts an entirely different
face upon the matter.
From this letter DIT appears, beyond
any reasonable doubt, THAT the ap-
parent deadlock is THE result of a
scheme on the part of certain venal
Democrats TO throw the district which
is safely Democratic under ordinary
conditions, to the Union Republicans
and enable them to elect their candi-
date for Representative. The scheme
also includes the election of the Union
Republican nominee for State Senator,
as the Sixth Representative district is
part of a Democratic Senatorial dis
trict, and Its detection, therefore,
would elect Republican Senator in
stead of Democratic ONE. The plan
of the schemers lis Ito prevent amy
nomination for Representative in the
Sixth district, so as to force the elec-
Lion ito go by default; or, failing in
this, ito have both the Democratic
aspirants to the nomination run at
the election; or, to create such dis
affection over 1.-The contention THAT the
Democratic party will be so weakened
as to lose the district. Anything, i'm
fact, that will promise Ito result i'm the
election of Union Republican Repre-
sentative and State Senator.
The men who are suspected of engi-
lneering this base scheme of party be-
trayal, are men who have been honor
ed with office by the Democratic party,
which makes their treachery all the
more despicable. 1T is hoped that such
evidence of their guilt, and of Those
who have corrupted them, may be OBJ
TANNED as will enable both corruptors
Iand corrupted TO be prosecuted and
punished to the full extent of the law.
Tt lis bult Justice Ito the two gentle
men who are contestants for THE DEM
ocratic nomination for Representative
in the Sixth district, Ito static that they
are in nowise- connected with this base
plot Ito sell but the Democratic parity
Now THAT the affair has been made
public, they should do all DIN their
power to defeat THE scheme by seeing
that the deadlock is broken and the
district saved. Gf "a choice between
them is impossible, it would be well ito |
compromise upon the denomination of !,
representative William T. Jester, who
served with much credit ait the last
session of the Legislature, and who
was an uncompromising opponent of
Addicksism from first ito last.

old Glory In Pango Panro.

The American flag was raised over Pango Pango, Samoa, on April IT, and in official manner the fact was proclaimed to the world that the terms of the recent tripartite treaty between Germany, Eng land and America had gone into effect The ceremony was under the direction of the officers of the United States steamer Abarenda. An international aspect was lent to the affair by the presence of the German warship Cormoran, Captain Emmsmann. The latter officer had invit- ed all of the American citizens at Apia to accompany him to Pango Pango, and a large number availed themselves of the privilege. Native priests consecrated the flag before it was raised. As the stars and stripes were unfurled there belched forth from the Abarenda's cannon a sa- lute of 21 guns, which was followed by similar salute from the Cormoran. A native chorus from the London mission sang America" in English and added two verses in Samoan

Former Senator Arthur r. German is affability itself to the newspaper men that crowd around him for informa- ton, but 1t is standing joke among them that he does all the interviewing himself.
 Every summer Senator German goes to Saratoga for several weeks. One evening Judge Grubb of Delaware re- marked, Senator German, you and have been coming to this hotel now for nearly dozen years, and every sum- mer when I get back home find that I have told you everything I know, whereas you never tell me thing"

American Horses In Germany.

ImportatIons from America have caused the horse raisers of Holstein to suffer much of late. A stock com pany has just been formed in Berlin for the express purpose of importing horses from the United States. Tho Americans have succeeded in breeding a horse which compares very favora- ply in every way with the Holstein animal, especially In those points so highly prized in work horse-name- ly, broad hips and large build gener- ally. The best market for Holstein horses has always been the provinces of Saxony, Thuringia and Brunswick. The demand Is created by the large sugar factories. This market has been decreasing of late, owing to American horses being purchased in Berlin. A few days ago this Berlin company shipped a drove of so through Ham
 burg en route for Milan, Italy, where they are to be used on the tramways
 Almost every week long freight train filled with American horses leaves the Berliner Bahnhof for various parts Of Germany. In spite of expensive freight and a tariff of S7 per head, the Ameri
 cans have built up a very respectable competition in the German market.
