MAINTAIN DISCIPLINE

In dealing with this Lucas-Welsh
scandal in the Police Department, the
Board OF Police Commissioners should
act with an eye single to the interest
Of the public service.
On the one hand, 1t is admitted that
Sergeant Lucas and Patrolman Welsh,
company with other policemen, met
In a saloon when off duty and engaged
n a heated controversy. which culmi-
mated in Welsh committing a violent
assault upon Lucas, injuring him 50
badly that he had to so home and so
to bed for two or three days.
On the other hand, it is alleged that
Lucas invited the assault by applying
10 Welsh epithets too vile and profane
to repeat, and that any other man
would have punished him in like man.
ner had he been subjected to such ter
rible insults.
Be this as IL may, both men are
worn conservators Of the peace, ant
the board cannot afford to uphol,
Lucas for engaging in an alteration
with his subordinate and using vii
language towards him any more thai
Welsh can be upheld for striking an
manning his superior officer
The discipline of the force is OF NOR
Importance than the private interest G
any man on it, and it should be prs
served at all hazards to the end tha

shaken, and that there shall be n

COLLECTORS AND IAx.nonGERs

Wherever assessments arc laid, taxes
levied, duplicates placed in the hands
of collectors and returns made there
on, errors and delinquencies are allow
ed by the levying body; but it seems
to us that here i'm New Castle county
more taxes are forgiven, both taxables
and collectors, than should be done for
the good Of the public treasury and the
people at large. 1t requires a certain
amount of money to run the county
government each year, and the tax rate
Is fixed on tile levy with the idea Of
raising that much, reasonable allow
lnee being made for errors and delin-
quencies in tile calculation Many per-
sons are only too willing to evade their
proportionate share Of the burden Of
taxation, ana whenever they are per-
mitted to do it the burden falls upon
other persons who have due regard for
their duties as citizens enjoying the
benefits of a government maintained by
individual contributions Of taxes. The
longer these tax-dodgers are forgiven
their taxes, the more determined they
will be not to do it, and their success
will encourage others to emulate thels
example.
When the new Republican Lew
Court assumes control OF county af-
fairs, it should appoint tax collectors
who will reduce the number Of these
tax-dodgers to a minimum.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Not Smith. "ManIey7

Two weeks since under the caption
Of "An Evident Fraud we published
Ian article regarding Mr. Alexander r.
lSmith. who had appeared in our midst
bearing credentials purpOrting to be
from certain individual members Of
the Natioial Committee Regarding
our article we have received the fol-
lowing communication which we
Icheerfully print:
Headquarters
Renublican National Committee
New York. Oct %. 1900
To the Editor Of the News and Adyer-
tlser, Milford, Del:
MY attention has been called to an
rticle published in your parer OF date
OF October 13. 1900. in which. under
the caption Of "An Evident Fraud :"
you discuss a recent visit to Delaware
OF Mr.. Alexander r. Smith, who was
directed to visit the State and to there
represent the Republican National
Committee. in its endeavor to obtain
II the counties of Sussex and Kent, a
single Republican legislative ticket
representing the wishes of a majority
of the Republicans of those counties,
so that your next Legislature may
elect two Republicans to the United
States Senate. Mr. Smith bore with
him as credentials to prove his iden-
tity and to demonstrate that he was
acting for the Republican National
Committee, letters from its chairman
and myself.
Ny purpose in writing this letter is
to assure you that Mr. Smith is a
reputable gentleman. having the full
confidence of those by whom he was
accredited, and to inform you that
your assertion that he is "an impos-
tor" and that he is or was or has been
travelling under aliases is untrue and
.unjustiiiable. l have his assurance and
am absolutely convinced. that Mr..
ISmith knows Mr. Addicks but slightly.
and that he has never been employed
by him or for him in any way whatso-
ever
Under these circumstances, in fair
ness to the Republican National Com
nittee, and to Mr.. Alexander r. Smith,
whose representative he was in his
recent visit TO Delaware, l trust that
YOU will give publicity to this letter
order that your readers may also
earn the real facts of the matter
Very respectfully.
j. H. MANLEY
! We wish to state that we have no in
ltention Of doing any person an injus-
ltice ana therefore we are willing to
assume that Mr. Alexander r. Smith
the gentleman referred to in our for
NOR article was no impostor and that
he was not appearing under an as
lsumed name. We are willing to con-
ede that his credentials were genuine
and that he correctly stated his mis-
ion Monstrous as were his demands,
we gladly make our deepest oheisance
to the gentleman; so much for Alexan-
der r. Smith
Now for those who sent him, and
for ourselves We had the right to
presume that a member Of the Ma
ional Committee would act with ordi-
mary prudence; that he would not
lwantonly put the electoral ticket in
jeopardy. that he would not be a
party to any plan to intmdata Fed
eral office-holders; that he would
end an emissary conversant with the
ituation-therefore we did not so far
slander Mr. Joseph II. Manley as tc
redit his signature to the controvert
3 credentials 1t seems that we were
wrong, and now we make our aDolo
les to Mr. Smith and shall hencefortl
regard him merely as creature O
Mr Manley.

Being convinced that they cannot
elect Addicks, the sensible thing for
the Union Republicans to do S to drop
him entirely and take up a man they
can elect Addicks is out Of the ques-
tion He is not a Republican, never
was a Republican, and unless he mends
his political manners, never will be a
Republican. His pathway in politics
is strewn with the wrecks Of Republi-
can candidates and policies. To re-
ward him with a senatorship would be
to give Judas Iscariot a golden crown
for his self-seeking treachery.
