After the Transgressors.

The old hackneyed saying that the
way of the transgressor is hard is
being forcibly exemplifled in the
county court this week. The last
term of the grand jury got In behind
the violators of the sunday and
minor laws in great shape and now
the offenders are answering To the
state. In the court yesterday after
noon there were fifteen pleas OF
guilty taken, the majority Of which
were for selling 10 minors and viola
ting the sunday law. The crap
shooter. however, has not been lost
sight of and he is coming in for his
part of attention.

Yesterday a negro named Lee

Ennis and attempted to obtain goods

He had an order for the goods which
bore the signature Of Mr.. Lampkin.
After he made his purchases and de-

BYRNE,s EsrIMArED VOTE

Comment on the speech that Mr..
Byrne made yesterday accepting the
Union nomination for Congress is diff
cult for the reason that there is not a
true note in it. But the most remark
able statement was that in which he
predicted his own election by a de-
cisive majority. He figures that he
will start with a Union Republican
vote of 1853; to this he adds 80 per
cent. of the Regular Republican vote
of New Castle county, and makes a
grand total Of votes for himself OF 90
767 Now there is a possibility that
by dividing this vote by two we may
reach something like the figure that
will represent ByTne's total and this Is
allowing him the several thousand
purchasable votes, upon which un-
doubtehly he is counting.
But Byrne has left out of considera-
tion several important items. In the
first place he cannot count on more
than two-thirds OF the total Union Re
publican vote. The thousands who re-
gard him as a traitor and renegade.
and who have had him thrust upon
them. win revolt. II must not be for
gotten in making our estimate that
DR.. Ball has many warm friends among
the Union Republicans; they esteem
him personally and admire his course
In Congress, and know that he is en-
titled to denomination. So Byrne may
start with two-thirds OF the Union
vote-that which is under the dominion
of Addicks. This equals $3.50. To this
might be added a thousand or two OF
those who for various reasons might
be moved to support him, but at the
very highest estimate he could not poll
exceeding one-half of the Republican
vote. and this is conceding him every
thing within reason But we do not
deceive ourselves. and we concede to
Byrne all the venal vote, and evidently
he has not allowed this to escape his
attention.

Stake Hands With Fate

'Tis a sad old world, and a bad old
world,
1t is scarce worth while at all;
It's sorrows cling and its friendships
sting,
And even It's joys will pail.
But dear is life for all its strife,
And love is better than hate
You'll find a grace in the surliest face
II you just shake hands with fate.
With light in your glance and right in
your glance
And your lips in a curve to the sky;
A spring in your walk and a ring in
your talk.
Sure, hope will not pass you by.
The path that you will winds over a
hill,
But 1t leads to an open gate;
So trill you song to lure love along,
And just shake hands with fate.
'Tis in yourself is the demon elf,
'Tis in yourself is God;
And you'll never stray from yourself
away.
Gods light or the DEVILS prod.
Whatever your mind you'll meet in
kind,
And what is yourself create;
The world will view what is really
YOU
Therefore, shake hands with fatell

RYRNE,s rRInurE TO US

Mr.. William M1chael Byrne, in his
speech before the Addicks convention
yesterday. took occasion TO express his
opinion OF the Evening Journal. We
regard it as our highest attribute that
we hold few views in common with
those expressed by Mr.. Byrne yester-
day. A few years since, when his real
self had not been subordinated to a
lust for power, he expressed what we
imagine are his real views, in the fol-
lowing tribute to the press:
There is no avenue of information as
valuable for the people as a press
when It is valiant. fearless and incor-
rlptible, and every man who loves the
honor Of Delaware must read with ac-
claim the denunciations of political
debauchery and the demands for politi-
cal rectitude so forcefully appearing in
your columns.
We had rather follow that ideal than
TO sit on a railroad train with arms
around Adidcls and his arms around us

undoubtedly can care for themselves.
The Dobsons are gentlemen living In

MIoHAEn. LIE APosTATE

At the dlctation OF John Edward Ad-
dicks yesterday his convention nom-
mated William Michael Byrne for Con-
gress. 1t was accomplished only by the
surrender Of every PARTICLE OF man
hood on the part OF the delegates to the
convention. Byrne accepted in
speech replete with falsehood bombast
and special pleading There was never
such an exhibition OF brutal cattle
driving, and no man ever so stultihed
himself and fawned as did Byrne. 1t
was pitiful and II must cause deep re-
gret that any man who assumes 70 hold
the public esteem could sell ell for a
mess OF pottage.
In the foul mire OF his oratory, he
dragged the names Of those who had
been his friends and had given him his
drst assistance in his profession. He
iauded Addioks for his social, political
and business qualities, and Byrne
knows what he is talking about Now
If he admires. AddiclEs in those qualities
we are bound to infer that these are
Byrne's ideals, and that given the
chance he would emulate Addicks in
his social life; that he admires the way
he has conducted politics in this State.
and that he would be pleased TO make
money from such concerns as the Bay
State Cas- Byrne has shown himself
infinitely worse than we had ever sus-
pected. q tg4lSk1Sl
And the marvel is that he WAS not
the choice OF a single man in that con-
vention, excepting Addicks. Even the
leaders begged that his name should
be dropped and a more suitable man
taken: but nothing availed. The dele
gates protested, but took their medi.
cine. Had there been an expression
Of opinion Without pressure or Co
ercion and without the wish OF Ad.
dicks being known, not five delegates
OF that whole convention would hav,
named Byrne But he was rammel
down their throats. and they In turI
will endeavor to ram him down th'
threats OF the people. In making GU
his case he did not scTuple to use thl
name OF the dead Mckinley, nor did b.
hesitate to place Roosevelt in a falls

intimation that both the Nations
Committee and the Congressional Cam

Mr.. Norman e. John, in a letter
which appears in another column,
takes us to task for a recent editorial
commenting on an editorial paragraph
in the New York Sun. We are chided
for commenting in a humorous vein on
an act of benevolence ON the part OF
Mrs. Eddy, who recently gave a pair
Of shoes to each child at a certain fair.
Mr. John misses the point OF our re-
marks. and Of the remarks of the Sun.
The charity was most commendable,
but the act recognized a fact at vari-
ance with Mrs. Eddy's teachings. In
giving shoes, she recognized that mat

her theory that mind alone is causa-
