TO AVERT pIsGRACE

Let It be understood once for all that
the Regular Republicans are in this
fight to the finish. They have fought
while controlling the Federal patron
age, and If they have lost it, they will
still show their good faith by waging
the war to the last ditch. This is Della
wares fight, not Mr.. I!ayne's; It is for
us to settle, not for the President
Every man who holds his vote and his
influence at a price is already in the
Addioks fold and every spineless in
dividual may now surrender at discre-
ton, not because IL is decent or right,
but because he is afraid. But the men
who are destined TO redeem this State
from all that is degrading and loath-
some in politics are going right on.
Even the president of the United States
cannot control their consciences. We
expect to live inthisState, and our chill
dren will remain after we are gone, it is
not 50 with the President.
The Regular Republicans elected TO
the Legislature have integrity and cour-
age, and John Edward Addicks hasn't
enough money to buy them. Before
the end Of the session two United States
senators will be elected, and John Ed
ward Addicks will not be one Of them.
If it has become necessary Tor the Heg-
ular Republicans to give the President
cause to respect them, here is their OPP
portunity, but first of all, they must act
so as to be able to respect themfelves.

According to an article printed in
our news columns OF yesterday, there
is an imperative need for more police
men. The recent robberios have shown
than there is not sufficient protection,
and it would be unfair TO say that it
is due TO the inefficiency of the force
When a parolman has miles Of streets

him to be on the spot where he is most
needed in all instances. We may be
certain that the burglars are awure of
this fact. II IS an easy matter to ascer-
tain by actual observation where pa
trolman's duties call him at certain
hour, ana to plan robberies ac-
cordingly. When we consider the miles
OF streets and lanes in the outlying dis
tricts, together with the more thicl1ly
populated parts, sixty-two patromer

HnNons ron MR. MAssEY

The appointment Of George V. Mas
sey aus General Solicitor Of the PENN
svlvania railroad is deserved recog-
milton Of the eminent abilities of the
former Delaware lawyer. For some
years Mr.. Massey has been virtually
the chief legal adviser of that great
corporation, Judge Logan having been
unable to devote his attention TO It on
account of ill-health.
George Y. Massey has won his great
place by untiring industry, and faith
fulness to the interests Of every client
For years he was one OF the foremost
men at the Kent county bar, and at a
time when there were legal giants re-
siding in Dover. Ridgely, Massey and
smlthors in the old days formed a trio
that could not be baffled by the strong
est intellects that might be brought
against them.
Mr. Massey evidently believed in the
dictum that if the lawyer would sue
ceed he must work like a home" but
the rest Of it that says he must live
like a hermit" evidently did not meet
with his approval for no man had
more friends and no man deserved
them more. His removal TO philadel-
phia was a great loss TO Kent, and a
loss to the State; but we take pride in
tho fact that at flhis moment when
Delaware Is crouching under the
shadow OF political disgrace, her sons
are selected for positions Of cesponsi-
bility and trust Massey is selected as
the legal adviser OF one Of the greatest
corporations in the world, and George
Gray is chosen as the proper man TO
head the strike commission; but no
man is signally honored, or ever will
be, who has participated in the dis
grace of his State.

THE TAITLER
The EngIishman's S Joke


In England they say tin for can. For
instance, instead of saying, as we do
a can of tomatoes, they say tin.
A young Englishman, who was visit
ing America this summer, was exceed
ingly amused at some OF our jokes, and
committed number of them to mem
ory to repeat to his friends on the other
side. Soon after his return home. he
attended an evening company, pre-
viously having determined to dis
tinguish himself on the occasion as far
as cracking jokes was concerned.
He did.
The guests were assembled about the
table OF refreshments. when he
launched forth. very one gave undi-
vided attention in anticipation OF hear
ing something further regarding the
great, faraway America.
''My!" he began. They certainly
have fine fruit in America. can't tell
you what enormous peach crops they
have. Why, in Delaware, where | Wis

What in the world do they do with

From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The corruption in Delaware on e.ec-
ticn day was so fragrant and impudent
that Attorney-G General Ward should
take cognizance of IL. Never before
was bribery so general and coaceal-
ment of Il so careless. Democratic
election officers in Kont and Sussex are
charged by members OF their own
party with selling out to the agents OF
Addicks, and Il is by the Democratic
leaders that Attorney-CeneralW Ward Is
urged to proceed against the corrup-
tionists and the corrupted AS the new
Constitution provides that political Of
fenses shall be tried by judge and not
before a jury, convictions can now be
had The hung jury has prevented
them before.
IL is at this juncture, when the po-
litical rottcnness in Delaware Is more
fetid than ever before, that the Union
Republicans are boasting the good will
and countenance Of the Administra-
tom because William M. Byrne, who
was lately defeated for Congress On
the Union Republican ticket, has been
reappointed TO his cid place OF United
statce District Attorney. We should
be reluctant to believe that the Presi-

Delaware We refuse 10 believe that
ho would welcome the election of John
Edward Addicks as a solution or the
vexed problem. Those who say that
he is throwing the influence OF public
patronage against the heroic little band
of Regulars who are fighting the good
fight of clean politics must he wrong.
We prefer 10 believe that the rcstora-
tion of Mr.. Byrne to the District Attor-
nevship stands alone as recognition
Of his ability to fll that Office better
than other men. Tho President Is soon
to appoint a United States marshal.
The friends OF Addicks predict with
confidence that the new marshal will
be one cf themselves. Such an ap-
pointment could not be explained
away, and that is why we hold that 1t
will not be made.
Meanwhile the Regulars are undis-
mayed and unalterably fixed in their
resolution to prevent the election Of
Addicks to the Senate If it should
turn out that the Byrne appointment
has the significance the Union Republic
cans attach to 1.-THE Regulars will con-

ligation of continuing the fight inside

"Farmer" Greasy tells story of
Aryan's '96 campaign. The Nebraskan
after a rousing meeting in Western
town, was holding an imprOmptu re-
eeption at the railroad station while
waiting for the train that was to take
him away that night. Everybody pres

agent. who was described by one be-
wniskered native as "black RepuDli-

time to prepare his speeches, and was
told that they we're not prepared-that
the man from Lincoln could talk Tor
hours on end without preparation.

Putting aside the more political fea-
