The chief OF which is that rum is not a
safe thing to trife with. Here was a
man widely known as a foe to intoxi-
eating liquors and who has spent many
years in inveighing against the drink
habit. and he succumbed TO the very
foe he was fightingl He might have lied
out Of it, but me chose rather to play
the part of a man. The first word that
will come TO the lips Of the thought

would have sought to conceal the true
cause Of his condition. Small was a

came a temperance lecturer. There is
every reason for supposing that he

The moral is that II you disgrace your

Mis- political activity, however, must
not be obnoxious, and It must not in

This is only common honesty, since he
should give to the Government the

merit of being somewhat more definite
than the famous Cleveland order re-

pelaware,s Congressman

From the Morning News
We really do not comprehend the
logic Of Mr.. William Michael Byrne
when he says: III l am nominated by
the Union Republicans l will fight the
fight to a finish, and the Republicans
OF Delaware will see to it that | win
the battle" Perhaps there may be
something back of this assertion OF
which we do not know. Perhaps so,
and perhaps not But. to the ordinary
observer OF political events, and to the
student OF recent political history in
this State. it does not appear possible,
or even probable, that Mr.. Byrne could
be elected to Congress with DR.. IA H..
Ball as the candidate for the same po-
sition and TO be voted for by ReDubli-
cans.
The proposition is clear to every citi-
zen of the State. and especially to the
Republicans. With the Republican
vote divided the election OF q Demo-
crat to sit in the national House OF
Representatives would be assured with
out an official count OF the votes. Just
for the sake OF making a Democratic
victory clear, in the event OF two Re
publican candidates for Congress being
in the field. It is well to revert to some
recent elections in this State for a
member OF Congress.

a Notable Health Resort

The Ozone Belt Of Louisiana situated
in St Tammany Parish, lying imme-

a piney woods country traversed by
the East Louisiana railroad, a con-
nection Of the Queen and Crescent
route. and at its farthest point, Gov
ington, Ia, only sixty miles by rail
from New Orleans, the metropolis of
the South, is perhaps the least known
and least written about Of any health
resort in the country. and yet has in
the immediate vicinity the best Teputa-
tion for health giving qualities of any
locality in the South, if not in the
whole country.
II has long been recognized by the
residents of New Orleans and the State
Of Louisiana as a place where those
suffering from lung troubles, fevers

diseases. as we'll as general debility
can obtain perfect rest and almost in

Thousands OF people every yea
lsDend the summer there in hotels an

A LOVELY PAIR

Dr. 9. r. layton announces that he
will place William Michael Byrne in
nomination for Congress next Tuesday,
and Byrne will be present and make ~
speech OF acceptance. This will be a
charming spectacle for all Delawar-
cans. c. r. layton was appointed to
the best office in the State by a gov
ernor who ran on the same ticket with
DR.. Ball. John HUM received the
votes of all Regular Republicans, and
by virtue OF that fact, this c. r. lay
ton is now Secretary Of State. He now
proposes to nominate a man for the
specific purpose of defeating Dr. Ball
and of electing a Democrat to Con-
gress. Meanwhile Layton continues TO
enjoy the office that he could never
have held without all Republican
votes for John Hum.
Does Layton base his opposition TO
DR.. Ball ON the ground that he has not
been impartial in the distribution OF
the Federal patronage? Well, rumor
has 1t that Layton has virtually made
every appointment credited to the
Governor. How many OF these places
have been given to Regular Republi-
cans? Not one.
And Mr.. Byrne will make a ringing
speech OF acceptance 1t should ring
indeed, for It will be hollow. What
enrontery for this man to constitute
himself the chief instrument in the be-
traya1 of Regular Republicans. He was
political derelict that they picked up.
They gave him place and honors, and
now he uses the prestige Of the Office
they have given him, to scuttle the
ship. Byrne is skilled in sophistry,
but how he can justify his present
course in that speech, is hard to i'm
agine.
This whole Addlcks machine is made
up of men of this stripe and a number
Of deluded followers. There hasn't
been an incident OF Addlcks' political
career that any respectable man would
rejoice in. There was never a slave
market where men were bought and
sold more openly; there never was
such an example OF men prostratine
themselves at the feet of man will
bribe in his hands. There neve'
was more political rottenness than ex
lists in the Union Republican party
and Layton and Byrne propose to prof
by It. g.
