We have no sympathy with clergy
men who do a marriage brokerage
business. and who perform the cere-
mony on the slightest provocation for
the fee that is in IT, But we are not
prepared to endorse the action Of sem
sational newspaper writer's, who under
flaming headlines directly, or Indirect
~. censure a reputable clergyman in
order to serve up spicy piece of gos-
sip for q class of eager readers.
The facts in the case seem tc
be as follows: A young man
was arrested on n serious charge
I'm which the good name Of a
girl of 13 was involved. At the hear
ing the case was postponed for several
days. and during this interval the
clergyman was asked to marry the
couple Al the ceremony at the minis
ter's home the parties were rigidly in
terrogated. The girls mother was
present her only parent. She gave the
daughters age as IA. and expressed a
desire for the marriage The young
mans father was present, and also
gave his consent The young people
expressed a desire to wed, and the
clergyman, ignorant of the case in
court made them man and wife. Ger
tainly he is blameless, if these facts
.are true. and is exempt from censure
from any quarter The sensational use
of his name in the matter is very poor
journalism.
The clergyman was undoubtedly well
within his rights. The only question
than can arise is whether The circum-
stances warranted a marriage between
persons so youthful. IL would depend
largely upon various circumstances
and these we do not know. The great
est care should be exercised in such
matters, as clergyman have a fearful
responsibility. However, until There
is some evidence of misbeheavior ol
of neglect ON the part of the minister
good taste suggests THAT he should moi
be criticised in public print

On one occasion John Philip Sousa by
his promptness was the direct means
OF stopping a panic which might have
had the most disastrous results. While
his band was playing before $1,000 peo-
pie in st. Louis the electric lights I'm
the hall went out suddenly. People
began to move uneasily In their seats,
and some even began to make a rush
for the doors Coolly tapping with his
baton, Sousa gave a signal, and imme-
diately his band began playing. "Oh.
Dear. What Can the Matter Be?" A
tiny ripple Of laughter that went round
the audience showed that confidence
had partially been restored. When the
band began to play "Wait Till the
Clouds Roll By" the laughter deep
ened into a roar Of merriment that
only ended when the lights were turn
| ed on again.

HOPEFUL VIEW

The hopeful view consump-
tives take of their own cases is
strongly in their favor. E@ch
year is showing a larger per
centage Of cures.
One of the best reasons for
good hope is the record Of
SCOTS Emulsion as q medicine
for consumptives. SO long as
the system is strong enough tc
use medicine of any kind it car
use SCOTS Emulsion.
The reason for its helpful
ness in this disease is becausl
of its long tolerance by the
patient; one does not tire O
it as quickly as other medl
cines and that is where thC
great benefit comes.

LET Us FIGHT IN

II Is unfortunate that SO many acts
of our city and county officials should
come under the ban OF popular con-
demnation We are led to the conolu-
sion Chat we are cursed. either with
a great deal OF inefiiciency or great
dead of rascality. and there is suspi-
cion that there Is liberal amount of
bo.n elements. If vote OF our citi-
zens could have been taken yesterday
ninety per cent would have upheld
the Mayor in his refusal to approve the
ten-year contracts for street lighting.
No business man would have approved
such a clause if it applied TO his private
affairs; and we do not believe the
street and Sewer Directors. as individ-
ual private citizens would have favor
ed it. What is the reason. then, for
their official act? The people must
form their own conclusions.
We have taken no part in the discus
sion OF the relative merits Of the two
systems OF lighting. Possibly il is
well to enter into contracts that shall
install the two systems. But there is
absolutely no reason for tying cur
hands for ten years when the revolu-
ton in the field of illumination is go
ing right on. cheapening the cost of
production and making a better light
The probability is that in FIVE years the
expenses for such lighting will be de-
creased by at least a third. and that
ihe light Wiz be better AT least the
city could afford to run the risk OF an
increased cost after q contract ending
in five or six years.
It has reached a point when our peo-
pie must protect themselves against
the acts OF their servants, and so We
urge that every means be exhausted q
nullify these contracts, or compel The
commission to enter into new onesfor a
term of less duration. The Mayor has
done his part. and there is a proba'
bility that the court may be convinced
that the contracts should be set aside
on a strict question Of law. There is
something more than money involve,
in this; we must fight and hit hard
or the conditions which prevail II

MORE MENDACIrY

The Wilmington Sun has taken an
other tack. In its issue OF yesterday
occurs the following;
Contrary to what the Anti-Addicks-
ties have been saying about the Presi-
dents position relative to the local po-
litical situation. The Sun. upon the
very best authority. quotes the Presi-
dent as follows:
II have no sympathy with the inn
possible position assumed by General
Wilson and his friends. Neither have
! any sympathy with the cry of Ad-
dicks or nobody"
Il is safe to say that the sun lies
that assumption is usually safe. It
preiends TO give its statement on the
very best authority; well, who is that
authority? The Sun itself is not a
competent witness, since we could ill
a court room with witnesses to testify
that its oath is worthless.
The Sun is always demanding such
proof of alleged rascality as would
convict in a court of law When Ad.
dicks or his lieutenants are accused OF
political crimes. It says. then present
your evidence to court OF justice.
So we reply prove your case We mus
have better evidence than "a mai
said" We say frankly that we don
believe its statement. and there is
probability that the Suns authority, 1
such there be. would prove equal,
questionable. An organ which credit
Addicks with trying TO elect senator
, other than himself in 1895. or at an
other time isn't capable of utterln
the truth, unless it is inadvertently.
