RoossvsLTs DETRACToRS

Governor Roosevelt is an honest,
man. He is deserving OF
fair treatment from his political enc
mics, but he is not receiving it. BY fall
sifying his speeches the Democrats are
endeavoring 10 hurt him in public es-
teen. The st. Paul incident is a case
in point The governor feels impelled
to reply to his critics, and this is what
he says:

WORK OF TRAITORS

Conclusive evidence Of the treason
able character Of the Anti-Imperialist
League is in the hands Of the War De
partment It consists of a letter writ
ten to Senior G. Apicible, a prominent
Filipino, by Montague r. Leverson, Of
Fort Hamilton, N. Y, on July II, 1899,
and constitutes part Of the correspon-
dence captured some month ago by
General Funston's command in Luzon.
These are extracts from the letter:
am a member Of the Anti-Imperal-
ist League, Of Boston. / have publish
ed many articles and letters
denOuncing the practically war car
ried on by President Mckinley against
your people. He and General Otis and
all HIS troops are pirates upon the ter
rtory Of the natives.
l should like 10 suggest a plan to
you. It is this; You should seize
some official of the rank in the service
Of the United States and then inform
the foreign Consuls that he was to be
brought before a council OF war for
piracy and write to said Consuls to
have representatives present at such
council of war to see that it is legal.
Piracy would be shown by conduct
ing a war in violation Of the usages
of civilized war, and the proof would
consist in the fact OF the consent to
killing defenseless prisoners and non
ccmbatants-men, women and chill
dren-in cold blood. and in robbery by
officers and soldiers from non-com-
batants.
/ also suggest that the Filipino Con-
sress address an appeal 10 the people
Of the United States.
You must also show that Mckinley
keeps the people of the United States
In ignorance Of the true facts. that he
and members OF the Cabinet have de-
hOerately lied to secure the ratification
Of the treaty of the peace with Spain
without the clause which would have
assured the liberty OF the Filipinos.
That they deliberately lied when they
said that Agoncillo advised Aguinaldo
TO fight, and that when a telegram
stating the opposite was interpreted,
the war was advised from Washington
to secure the passage Of the treaty.
Such letter as that only could be
written to the enemy in time OF war
by traitor OF the worst possible de-
scription. It is a timely and forceful
exposure of the contemplate practices
Of the anti-expansionist critics OF the
Mckinley administration There have
been times when the finding Of such a
letter would have landed Leverson in
jail or eternity, and he may thank
his lucky stars that the exigencies Of
the occasion are such as not to require
It at this time. The Anti-Imperialist
League is founded on treason, but the
position assumed by President McKin-
ley is so strong in the heartsand minds
Of the American people that traitors
cannot assail it successfully, and the
Federal officials feel that they can af-
ford to leave the League and It's mem
bers to the scorn and contumely Of
their fellow-citizens.

Worse Than Wasted SYmpathy

From Philadelphia North American.
Because Josephine Packard is young
and good looking and very miserable.
sympathy for her is being awakened.
But though miserable it is not appar-
ent that she is remorseful. Her grief
Is plainly caused by the painful charac-
ter Of the consequence of her sin and
crime. She is young, but was old
enough to elope with her sisters hus-
band. a woman so mature as to do
that is sufficiently mature to be held
morally and legally accountable. So,
when her sisters husband has been
brought back from Georgia to Della
ware and sentenced to the long term in
Jail he has so well earned, Josephine
should not be permitted to escape. But
even-handed justice in such a case is
not to be expected. No jury Will hold
equally responsible the guilty man and
the guilty woman, no matter how
wicked she may be, when she is youth
ful and fair to look upon. Chivalry OF
this kind in the jury box is as COM
mon as it is cheap.
1t is a mistake to spare young

Christopher l.. Ward. of this city. a
prominent young member OF the New

fed himself with the Palmer and Buck.
ner movement, and did excellent work
as secretary OF the Sound Money or
ganization in this state. After Bryan
and Free Silver had been defeated he
still clung to the Democratic party,
trusting that defeat would have a chas-
tening effect and cause It to return to
its former principles and practices.
When the Kansas City Convention met
and not only put a Free Silver plank
In the platform, but also renominated
Bryan on a platform wholly un-Ameri-
can and unpatriotic, Mr.. Ward decided
that he might as we'll sever his connec-
tion with the party altogether and
become a Republican. His course is
manly and uneQuivocal, and there ara
many other intelligent young Demo
Gratis in Delaware who should follow
his example. They prefer Democracy

Ropublicanism TO Populism. into which
Democracy has drifted. They do VIC.
ience to their convictions by pursuing
an equivocal course and will stanC
much higher in public respect if the,
will come out and declare themselves

have already held a convention which
placed state ticket in nomination.
but II is maintained by their oppo-
nents, and practically acknowledged
by themselves, that the performance
was a nullity under the election laws
OF Delaware; and to correct the irregu-
larities they are to hold another con-
vention on Thursday. At this latter
gathering it is not expected that the
ticket already put up will be renomi-
mated in its entirety the hope being
held out that the action Of to-morrow's s
convention will be such that a COM
mon ticket can be named. which will
restore harmony" in the ranks of all
the professed Republicans in the state
and give both the state and national
tickets a chance to carry the election
in November. This is a consummation
to be most earnestly desired, but il will
be fatal to true Republicanism in Della
ware if it should be accomplished or
accompanied By any trickery.

interest Of harmony"
There are discouraging reports cur
rent of dissensions within the ranks Of
the Regulars; that Colonel DUPONT and
ex-senator Higgins are engaged in a
struggle for the control of to-mOr-
rows convention, each with a view Of
securing the gubernatorial nomination
for one Of his factional adherents.
There is but one thing for the conven-
tion which meets at Wilmington to-
morrow to do, in the interest of true
Republicanism, and that is to nomi-
nate DUPONT man or a Higgins man
for governor, but a Republican pure
and simple-a man about whose genu-
inc Republicanism and unwavering an
tagonism to Addicks there can be no
possible doubt. The first step towards
securing real harmony" in the ranks
Of the Delaware Republicans is to put
aside all traces of discord within the
ranks Of the Regular Republicans. II
that is not done at the start, Addicks
may secure the prize he is after, de-
spite his pretence Of yielding it to his
