The Rats Came Back

James and Harry Christy are the old
est twins in Wilmington, having
reached their 81st milestone in life's
Journey They also are among the
best-known business men in the city.
and the cigar store of James Christy e
Son. at Sixth and Market streets. is
frequented by most of the prominent
men of Wilmington.
Recently James Christy was annoy
ed for several nights by rats in his
room. He determined to rid himself
of the nuisance by the aid of trap. He
procured one, big and strong, as he
thought, and sure enough, 1t was; for.
after setting it one night, he discov-
cred that it contained four big, fat,
sleek-lOoking rodents the next morn
ing
Mr.. Christy was delighted with his
success. He thought that, instead of
killing the rats outright, he would call
into service a certain dog. which is
famed for its prowess in that direc-
ton. and incidentally enjoy the sport
himself. Accordingly he set the trap
containing the four rats in the yard,
while he went to seek the terrier. He
returned with his dogship, and repair
ed to the yard-and found that the rats
had gnawed their way out of the trap,
one and all.
But the rats came back to his room,
that very night.

Labor Union in Politics

From the Chicago Tribune (Rep).
The Chicago Federation OF Labor.
acted wisely in voting down the propo-
sition to introduce partisan politics
into its affairs. 1t would be a fatal
blunder to strike out OF the federation
constitution the provision which for
bids the endorsement OF any political
party. II is rather surprising that
such a proposition should find enough
supporters to get up a serious debate
on the subject. One of the worst han
dicaps to some of the unions in this
city has been the tendency of their
leader to make secret alliances with To-
cal political leaders and to inject pol
itics into the business affairs OF the or
sanitation. Such methods never fail
to iniure the unions that tolerated
them. A labor union can no more af-
ford to tie itself to a political party
than a business firm can. II is organ

moment It deserts it's legitimate field

A IaIe of Two Cities
om tIhe WnsIhlngton Post.

From the Washington Post.
The Chicago Tribune is one Of many
Republican papers that are speaking
right out i'm meeting" concerning The
dOings OF the Republican brethren in
Philadelphia. The Tribune says ol
that municipality THAT 1t has THE dis
ltinction Cf being THE most corruptly
governed city in Chrlstendom, worse
even than New York, which is Its
close rival in deplorable nOtoriety. '
Tine Post has heretofore referred to the
practical unanimity of the press OF the
United States in unsparing condemna-
tiCn OF the machines by which these
two great cities are ruled, robbed and
disgraced. Tammany is intolerable, but
the Philadelphia organization is worse
II both are defeated I'm the November
elections, there will be NO mourners
outside OF their respective gangs and
hangers-on. Indeed, the most reputable
Democrats in New York and the best
elements Of the Republican party of
Philadelphia will be congratulated by
their political brethren all over the
country.
One important respect in which Phila-
delpIhia eXcels New York in diabo.ism
is election frauds. In old times Tam
many eclipsed all rivals in this species
OF iniQuity. But in recent years and
under wholesome laws the elections in
New York City have been measurab.y
free from frauds of any description.
Meanwhile, however, Philadelphia has
been advancing backward, going from
bad TO worse in Wholesale corruption.
rammany a generation ago could poll
more votes in certain neighborhl-ods
than the total population thereof, men,
women and children. The Quaker
City gang at this time is preparing to
poll something over a hundred votes
from single building in which only
one man resides. With the most bra
zen effrcntery the Republican gang re-
sists every movement for purging the
lists. 1t has in the past polled sixty
thousand to eighty Thousand fraudulent
votes, and it hopes to do as well as. if
not better, than THAT this year. We
know of no Tammany iniuuity that is

Oh, WE RETRACT

Mr. Ernest Seton Thompson has
written many delightful books concern

have greatly enjoyed. and we hope that
in future his pen will continue as vir-

The letter is apropos an article which
occurred in our paper, which we pub

Hmm Ann HARMONY

If al reports OF the Governors visit
TO the President are true, he must have
pleaded a partisan cause under the
guise OF harmony. II so we may rest
assured that the real motive for his
visit was not concealed from the Presi-
dent The press dispatches all state
that he declared in the interview that
the Union Republican vote represented
75 per cent. Of the entire party. We
hope a Governor OF our State did not
make such an assertion. since that
would impeach his veracity. II 1t is
desirable to exaggerate in order to de-
oeive the Executive, the figures of tn,
Addicks organ of this city NIGH
be taken. IL has declared repeatedly
that 80 per cent represented the Ad-
dicks vote. SO there has been a failure
to rightly adhere to the truth by at
least one person, perhaps more.
There is another statement attrib-
uted to the Governor which II true is
not complimentary to his sense Of We
racity. since he is in position TO know
the facts. He is reported as saying
that there was an implied understand
ing that DR.. Ball, If elected, would
treat Union Republicans fairly. Now
we do not know what the Addicks men
supposed, but one thing is certain, Dr.
Ball was nominated as a strong Regu-
lar Republican,; he went through the
campaign as such, and his real attitude
has never been concealed. No on,
ever supposed that he would favor Ad-
dicks people, and he never promised "a
do so.
But If the Governor took the grounds
that in the interest Of harmony, the
President should recognize both fac
tions, how does Mr.. HUM reconcile
this with his own attitude
He. too. is an executive, and as such
has made factional appointments al
most without exception. He did make
an.te-election promises, and is accuse,
of breaking them. He turned dowr
men for office whose qualifications
as admitted by him, were superior e
those of the appointees.
II Is hard to swallow ones own medi
cine. and the Governor is not goot
special pleader for Addicks. To stat
the exact truth. when Mr. HUM wa.
seeking the nomination, he was sus
pected of Addicks tendencies, and wal
only accepted on making certain state
ments which seemed to indicate tha
he would act fairly TO an Republicans
The result is known. But DR.. Bal
was accepted by the Addicks men be
cause they Thought themselves certai
OF securing the Federal patronag
Through the national committeeman
and no Pledges were asked.
The efforts OF the Governor towarr
harmony have not been a conspicuou
success. II was hoped that he woul
find way out of the difficulty, an
lead tlhe factions into harmony. Whe
elected. instead of playing that par
he had chosen during the campaign q
a non-factionalist, he seems TO hay
suddenly reached the conclusion ths
the Addicks party had triumphed, an
that its leader would go to the Senat
He acted accordingly, but his gues
was wrong, and the role of Moses wi
