TFfEN RIGHT TO An OFFICE;
BYRNE'S APPOINTMENT

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
Does a Federal officer own the Office
which he holds? Why do we ask this
question? Because the case of the
United States District Attorney Byrne
of Delaware inevitably suggests II.
That gentleman held that office until
he discovered that his duties or obiga-
tions TO il cOnilicted with his duties or
obligations TO that honest tradesman,
J. Edward Addicks. Having made that
discovery, MI Byrne resigned the Of
fee. For what purpose did he resign
it? For the purpose Of defeating at
the polls a sitting Republican Con-
gresham at a time when there were
apparently well grounded fears that
tho Democrats would elect n majority
OF the next House Of Representative
at time when the retention of every
Republican seat in that body was of
the very greatest importance and con-
cern. The kepublican Congressman.
whom he sought, with the viii and
aid of j. Edward Addicks, to defeat
had opposed the election of the latter
to the senate OF the United States. as
st of the reputable citizens Of Del
aware had done. and as every reputable
citizen of that State should have done.
Mr.. Byrne did defeat this Republican
Congressman, and thereby elected a
Democrat in his place. That was the
sole object of his nomination, and it
was accomplished.
BY the dog-in-the-manger policy OF
J. Edward Addicks. with which Mr..
Byrne sympathized, Delaware had been
for years, and still is. deprived OF her
right to senatorial representation in
the National Government. BY the can
didacy OF Mr.. Byrhe. Delaware. a
staunch Republican State, is now de-
prived of a Republican Representative
in Congress.

ponent and having been defeated him

THE TATTLER
RevoIutionarY Prison HuIk Discoverel

Revolutionary Prison Hulk Discovered
In building a section of the new
ways for the construction of the bat
|tleship Connecticut at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard. the famous English prison
ship Jersey was discovered. She was
one of six prison ships used during the
Revolution Probably built somewhere
around the year 1920, she saw some
thirty years Of service, fought many a
battle and was then condemned to be
used as a receiving ship for American
prisoners OF war.
OF the six prison ships, the Jersey
was by far the worst She was a kind
Of floating Black Hole OF Calcutta. and
in her damp. leaky hold half starved
American patriots perished miserably.
In her palmy days the Jersey had a
crew Of about 400 men, huddled to-
gether as crews were in those days.
How appalling were the conditions to
which American prisoners were sub
jected may be gathered from the fact
that 200 prisoners were kept on board
almost constantly. One historian says:
'She was never cleansed, and lay in
tnat condition seven years. No fires
warmed her occupants in winter, no
screen sheltered them from the August
sun, no physician visited the sick, no
clergyman consoled the dying there
She remained throughout the contest a
centre Of sickness and death. always
lreplenished with new victims. The
bones of her dead. estimated at II 900,
lie buried on the Brooklyn shore"
When the war ended the Jersey was
burned at her moorings.
What is left Of the hull lies in about
two fathoms of mud and water, about
500 feet from the dock. Unless the hull
is removed the battleship Connecticut
must be built directly over It.
Interest in the old ship reached its
height when, some years ago, the skele-
tons of 300 men were found in the
yard. That these were the remains of
the men who had died in the Jersey
was definitely established. The bones
were afterwards buried in Fort Greene
Park, in Brooklyn, with impressive
ceremonies.

A NIGGARpLY POLICY

The people OF Delaware have cele-
hrated Thanksgiving Day in the usual
manner. Governor Hunn issued the
proclamation, and the news
papers, out of pure charity published
it without Charge Thus the people
were informed, without expense to the
State, and the public treasury retains
the few dollars which should have gone
to the press. It has gotten to be that
most official notices are given free
publication, because the State under
certain officials. chooses to pursue a
mean and niggardly policy.
In former years it seems to have
been the theory that puoclamations
were made for the purpose OF being
read, and as a consequence they were
ordered printed in the various papers,
and the State paid the bill In recent
years, however. it has been the GUS
tom OF the Secretary OF State to send
copies of the proclamation to the var
ious newspapers requesting that they
publish It gratis, and thus take pity on
the State in her poverty.
Now a proclamation isn't a pr0cla-
nation unless it is brought to the at
tention Of the people. and II the State
wishes to have the people informed. it
should foot the bills. The State has
no more right to ask newspaper to
give free space to advertisements than
it has TO ask Secretary OF State 20
devote one months salary TO the pub
he treasury. The present policy is
niggardly, and II IL is continued, the
Governors proclamations in future had
as we'll not be made. since nObobdy
will see them.

BYRNE'S APPOINTMENT A REWARD
FOR ELECTING HENRY A. HOUSTON

-. Edward Addicls, Editor"
With such a statement in Mr.. Ad-
dicks own organ there can be no ques-
tion OF the accuracy of the subjoined
report from the Wilmington Morning
News, Of the same date as the Will
mington sun from which We have
quoted:
From statements made by J. Ed
ward Addicks in this city on Wednes-
day afternoon it seems evident that the
object of nominating William Michael
Byrne for Congress principally was to
cause the defeat of Congressman l.
Heisler Bah, so that Mr.. Addicks might
try to get the dispensing Of Federal
patronage in Delaware.
Mr.. Addicks later said The next
Congressman from Delaware will be a
Democrat, and / will then control the
Federal patronage
Secretary of State Layton, while in
this city on Tuesday night to attend
the meeting at the Opera House. had
no hesitancy in saying that Mr.. Byrne
was nominated to cause the defeat OF
Congressman Ball"
Thus blew the trumpets of purpose
and defiance. The note of triumph APP
peared in the Philadelphia Public
Ledger two days after election day:
ITO the Editor Of the Public ledger
We have taken away the
temptation Of Federal patronage by
excising from the situation Congress
man Ball, who betrayed our confidence
y. Edward Addicks."
Two questions come up, for Repub-
leans seeking office as the reward oi
party service and for members of thC
Republican party in general who de-
fend the principle that to the victor.
belong the spoils:
Does Byrne's last performance in pol
/ itics. just disclosed, constitute the Ge
gree or kind Of party service that de
serves the recompense OF office?
If not, were Byrne's services to Mr.
Roosevelt, personally, sufficient to out
weigh his defeat OF the Republican
party's Representative from Delaware

FROM the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The appointment of Byrne as United
States District Attorney in Delaware
was based, says the authoritative dec
laration from the White House. on
excellent service for the public good
and "stanch support of the President
when he ran for Governor and after
ward" If the appointment is intended
merely to repay a personal debt OF
President ROosevelts 10 Mr.. Byrne,
comment would be superfiuous. lnas-
much, however, as the official reasons
for Byrnes preferment are largely in
terpreted as a recognition Of his ser
vices to the Republican party simply
apart from what special assistance he
may have given to the President, those
services happen to be Of a nature so
peculiar that it is worth while to des-
.cribef them. Otherwise Republicans
to serve their country in
civil posts would be without the prop
er sailing directions to their desired
haven.
Byrne, after having been originally
appointed by President Mckinley from
the anti-Addicks faction, took up with
Addicks. From that moment, instead
of being an Independent patriot. he be-
came a subordinate of unrebelling hui
mility. So completely was he at Ad.
dicks orders that he resigned the Of
flee he held in the Republican name TO
make a three-cornered fight for a seat
in Congress without rational hope Of
success. He permitted himself tchbDa
nominated for the purpose Of prevent
ing the reelection Of Delaware's Re
publican Congressman, Ball, an enter
prise in which, while Balls defeat was
probable. Byrne's election was impos-
lsible.
MIR. Addicks authorized us 10 say
that the Union Republicans would pre-
fer TO see a Democratic Congressman
elected rather than Mr. Ball" That

which he had tossed aside in order TO
help the cause of his chief, the honest
tradesman-"
This demand was insolent beyond ex-
preston, unless it is true that every
Federal officer owns the office to which
he has been once appointed. If that is
true Of course the reappointmant OF
Mr.. Byrne was quite regular and prop
er, and, similarly, he was quite right in
demanding that mis- property, the Dis
trict Attorneyship, which he had flung
away 10 serve j. Edward Addiclxs,
should be restored to him. II, TO the
trary, he did not own in fee and
perpetuity the office he lightly put
away from him. the restoration of it to
him was. under the circumstances, in
excusable and indefensible upon any
grounds perceptible to every mind of
average human intelligence or politi-
cal morality.

he is said to have been. his demand

may be considered.
Unless MIR. Byrne owns the office OF

Delaware, it's restoration to him after
his defeat of his worthy and loyal Re

lis reason for the belief that certain al
