Gan. Wilson and Free Trade.

elsewhere in this issue we reprint
the text OF an address delivered by Gen.
James II. Wilson Of this city before the
New England Free Trade League. In
Boston, Saturday night.
Gen. Wilson is an ardent Republican,
and few years ago even the suggestion
OF man of his political connections
addressing such body as the New
England Free Trade League would have
been regarded as rank apustasy to the
Republican party that great advocate
OF protection to American industries. -
But times change and men change
with them," 80 that 1t Ia not so much
matter of surprise owthat Gen. Wilson
should address the New England Free
Trade League, or that in the course of
his address he should advocate free
trade to a liberal extent rs the proper
economic principle for the government
of the United States to adopt.
Gen. Wilson arrives at his conclusions
by somewhat tortuous course, but he
is nowise ambiguous when he says
why should the United States not say
frankly to all the States of North
America, at least, We will agree TO Hhso-
lutte and reciprocal free trade and in
natural and manufactured products be-
tween our country and all its depend
encies, wherever situated, on the one
hand, and all the neiahboring countries
on the other, under uniform tariff to
be agreed upon by the parties to the
arrangement" But this opens the
natural query: IL this result could DO
accomplished by "a uniform tariff, ~
why not without the Intervention of
any tariff Whatever, uniform or other.
wise?
Again Gen. Wilson says that he has
urged it as the highest and most
Intellectual duty OF craftsmanship TO
give absolute aud unrestricted free trade
in natural and manufactured products to
the Cubans also. 10 exchange for the
same privilege to be- granted by them
to us, under the protection OF com
mon tariff, as against all other cuun-
tries" But why the common tariffv
and the protection against all other
countriesg If free trade with Cuba will
bs good thing will not free trade with
other foreign countries also be good
thing?
However Gen. Wilson's expressions
are encouraging. They indicate trend
OF public opinion Of Republican
opinion-away from the impositions of
the protective tariff and in the direc-
tion of the freedom of trade from all
hsrassing restrictions. 1t may be that
the latest tariff Of the United States
the Dingley tariif--that "aulminat-
ing atrocity of GLASS legislation" will
also be the last protective tariff that
this country is to see.

Secretary Of the Treasury Gage, it is

Roosevelt Repudlatea Addlokslsm.


There is no installing the attitude
and purpose of President Roosevelt in
appointing Robert q. Houston of
Georgetown collector OF the port of Will
mington.
BY this appointment President Roose-
velt deliberately announces his con.
tempt for and his Republication of Ad-
dicks Republication in Delaware.
The appointment of any other Regu-
lar Republican might have been looked
upon as con ion to the Addicks
element in tonire Gown the Presidents
refusal to give 1t recognition, but the ap-
pointment of MI. Houston is direct
blow.
No other selection could have
been more distasteful to the AddicKs
Republicans, as Mr.. Houston has
fought them -resolutely, courageously
and without cessation from the time
that the psralyzing grip of Addioks
first fell upon the Republican party OF
Delaware. His appointment, under the
circumstances, is a deliberate and
forceful condemnation of Addioks Re.
publicanism by the President of the
United States.
BY this appointment President Roose.
Welt voices his condemnation of corrupt
politics and his detestation Of those
that encourage and promote this great
evil.
The Addicks Republican party is now
thoroughly discredited, both at home
and in the nation. The President Of
the United States has contemr tuously
kicked it from his presence. The gov.
ernor of Delaware has plainly showr
that he is not the plant tool in ofiic,
that the leaders OF Addicks Republi
canism arrogantly and insolently as
sume1 he would be.
What will be the attitude of tn,
people of Delaware towards the corrup
political Organization that thus find
no favor with the great body of th,
Republican party?
Will they give it any countenanc
and support at future elections in thi,
State? Will they discredit themselve
and Insult the President Of the United
States by sfiiliating with such disre
putable and disgraced political faction
In all probability, they will not.

Voting Machines a success.

feature Of the election in New Yorg,
on Tuesday, was the successful use, IL.
number of places, of voting machines.
One of the machines was used in a New
York City district. and OF the result tho
New York Evening Post saye:
Inc tirst trial of the voting machine
in New York City was an unqualified
SUCCESS. The experiment was made in
the Eighteenth Election district OF the
First Assembly district of BROOKLYN.
. The unfamiliar manner OF voting gave
no trouble to the voters, and the re-
cording function was SO succe gflIlIy
accomplished that the vote on the
mayoralty could be announced within
two minutes of the closing Of the polls.
Since the computation is mechanical,
the saving of clerical labor and the
obviating Of error in the count are the
most striking advantages of the innoya /.
zion. More Important, perhaps, is the
1act thaD the voting machine secures
absolute secrecy of the ballot, and does
away with the various tissue paper and
transfer paper vouchers which under
the present system may be returned to
vote buyers. The strong practical sense
OF the community will not long cut nm
with our siugularly inoonvenient ballot.
and all who are Interested in safeguard
ing elections and securing PROMPT and
accurate returns, should work for tn.
adoption of the voting machine.
The subject of voting machines is not
new one in Delaware. as it has been
considered here. The Constitution pio
vides that the general election ''shall
be by ballot" but the propristy Of vot.
ing by machines was in view when the
provision was added that the General
Assembly may by law prescribe the
means, methods and instruments of yot.
ing SO as best to secure Secrecy and the
independence Of the voter, preserve the
freedom and purity OF elections, and
prevent fraud, corruption and intimi-
'dation therest." 1t is interesting,
therefore, to note the experience of the
machine method of voting elsewhere.

Monument to Discoverer ofPetroleum.

At Titusville, Pa, a few days
ago, there occurred the uRs e1lIing
of a $4,000 mosc-<m ant to the
memory of Col. Ed win D. Drake,
the discoyeger Of petroleum.
The site &c this monument is
at the entrace to Woodlawn
cemetery in the city named. A
feature of interest is afforded by
the fact that the giver Of the
monument desires his own iden-
tity withheld, at least until after
his own death. The secret has
been we'll kept, but it is generally
believed that the man who ar
ranged for the erection of the
monument is Henry II. Rogers
of the Standard Oil company.
An elaborate program of ex-
ercises was given in connection
with the unwilling.
Mrs, Laura Drake of German
town, Pa, the widow of Colonel
Drake, was present and Con-

$4,000 BARRELS ;:
PER DAY
A Subject of Deep Interest to
Our People as Told
by Mr.. Haywood.

To a reporter Of the Houston
Post, Mr.. Alpha Haywood in
of the oil situation says
in part:
''The stories that the pressure
under the hill is diminishing
have no foundation" continued
Mr.. Haywood. ''Daily develop
ments in the field have demon
strated the folly of such state
ments and Il test made at one of
our wells not long ago settled the
matter beyond the shadow of a
doubt. Notwithstanding all this,
and the further fact that the
we'll was allowed to flow for only
seventeen minutes, the pressure
gauge registered 10Y pounds, or
only three pounds less than the
highest record made at time
when there were only a very few
wells on the hill. am at loss
to understand why certain pub
LEGATIONS persist in making state
ments which are calculated to in.
jure the field and which have alb
olutely no foundation.
cit is well known fact that a
we'll may become choked to some
extent by sand and rocks, and
the flow be diminished somewhat
as a result, but in every case
that has come under my notice
such wells, when allowed to clean
themselves out, aid as well as
could possibly be expected.
"By the way, remarked Mr..
Hey wood during the course of
the conversation, 81 am of the
opinion that within the next few
months or so a domestic burner,
which will permit of the use of
crude petroleum for fuel in cook
stoves, ranges, furnaces, etc,
will be on the market here. A
great need for something of this
kind has existed for some time
past. and ! am convinced that il
will be very generally taken VI
by the public. An option has
been secured on a domestic burn.

4. D. MeFarlain Will. Erect
One That Will be a Credit
To The City.

- The prayers OF the unriShteOuS
inhabitants of Jennings, for a

theatre, have at last been an
swered. The progressive spirit
of A. D. McFarlain has heard the
call and he has decided to build
theatre that will be credit to
any city having a population of
10000. The plans have been ac-
copied and were shown to a REC
ORD man this morning. The
west wall of McFarlain' brick
block will be replaced by aseries
of iron pillars and an annex, 80
by 100 feet added to the present
building. The lower floor of the
new building will be used as a
department store by Mr.. Nc
Farlain. The upper stories will
comprise the theatre, The au-
ditorium will be so by 100 feet,
with two tiers Of boxes aud bal
cony. The fittings will be fold

every respect. The stage will
be large and commodious and
fitted with a large quantity of
first class scenery. The scene

a stage entrance and property
elevator. The main entrance
will be ct the front of the Ibuild.
