LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
This AddicKs Man Has Got Enough
Smyrna, Del, Aug. 26, 1902.

To the Editor OF the Evening Journal
Sir: l want to enter my protest
against the fool talk of nominating
William Michael Byrne for Congress.
We don't want bag of wind or a
ightning-change artist on the ticket /
am accustomed to speaking my mind
fully, and have not hesitated to pro-
claim myself a Union Republican, but
when it gets down to nominating a
man like Byrne to defeat DR.. Ball, who
certainly has made a good congress-
man, and who is a fine fellow, l am
ready to quit, and there are hundreds
of others here in Kent like me.
Why | am told that Byrne's stock
in-trade has been his boasted power to
carry with him the Catholic vote He
promised it to the Regulars and he
has promised it to Addicks, l am told.
New l am Methodist, and my parents
we're beside me, and l would not drag
religion into politics, but Il am sure
that Byrne can no more carry the vote
of the members of his church than
can go to the Senate, while Addicks
lives. / was talking with one of them
the other day, a man that | respect
and honor, and he said that Mr.. Byrne
might speak for himself, but his little
plan to use his church connection
wouldn't work.
Frankly, | am ready to do anything
to stop all this devilment. I've got a
vote. but it will never go again to any
man, or any set of men who imagine
that the voters are a lot of cattle to be
driven wherever such men think best
There are lots Of people down here
who are as mad as l am. Send me
your paper for three months. l have
been reading Silas Oldfeld, and see
so many like him that l feel pretty
well acquainted with him.

ed not caring who they are so they are
Republicans.
We respect the sentiment among Re
publicans which depnecates the squab-
bling of bosses and office seekers, and
would gladly join our contemporary in
any effort to bring about harmony con-
sistent with human reason and a decent
self-respect, but when harmony must
be purchased by an abject surrender
to consciousness bosses and plunderers,
then we must decline to enter into any
such agreement.
There are several things that need to
be said plainly, and persistently repeat
ed. and our contemporary affords us a
suitable text 1t defines the "want-to-
win" Republicans as men who ask
nothing except that their party shall
be victorious at the polls on election
day" This is little severe, and we
cannot help asking the question, does
the Republican endorse that sentiment?
one who cares for nothing but to win
at the polls, is not Republican, and
by no form of reasoning can be regard
ed as a good citizen. The ballot was
given HIM not for spoils, not for par
tisan advantage, but to accomplish
something for good government If
this is subordinated to a desire to win
a victory that is to his personal ad-
vantage he doesn't understand the
primer of true politics.
We are told that there are hun
dreds of men who want to see two SEN
ators elected not caring who they are,
so they are Republicans" II there
are such men. then God forbid that the
party should ever come under their
controll DO they hold a public office
so cheap? do they hold that the Of
fee of u. S. Senator is a matter TO be
juggled with, to be put up for sale, or
given TO any man, with or without,
morals or intelligence, so long as he
is able to make return OF plunder
and continue TO call himself a Republi-
can? Any party with such ideals no
matter what it may call itself, deserves
to be wiped from the face Of the earth,
and to receive the loathing Of all two
legged creatures. If this is an impos-
sible standard. an impracticable ideal,
then God pity us.

William Michael Byrne says that DR..
Ball now has a chance TO show his Re-
publioanism. Presumably he is to do
this by resigning in favor of Mr.. Byrne.
But we would call Mr.. Byrne's atten-
tion to the fact that he has net yet re-
ceived a nomination; even Addicks has
not yet placed him on his ticket. Go
slow, Mr.. Byrne; under the same cir
cumstanoes Themistocles would have
been cautious. (For life Of that defunct
gentleman see Appleton's encyclo-
pedia.)

CRAB SEASON A COMPLETE
FAILURE IN THE DELAWARE RIVER

seem to know this, and will at high
tide swim along the reeds and feed on
the cripples. During good grabbing
season l have gone along the reeds
and almost filled my boat with crabs
during one tide"
A man from Wilmington said yester-
day that he went fishing near New as
tie one day this week and succeeded in
catching a number of fish. There
were about eleven persons grabbing off
the same wharf" said he, "and they
did not average one crab each"
The hotels and stores in both New
Castle and Delaware City have suffer-
ed considerable loss by the failure of
the crabs to appear, while the Will
mington and New Castle Railway Com
pany also has felt the failure of the
crab season.
New Castle fishermen attribute their
scarcity to the severity Of last winter.
There were several warm days and
then a hard freeze. The crabs prob
ably were nipped by the frost.

unlted States plstrlct AtiO rn.y Byrne


To the Editor Of the Evening Journal.
Sir: 1t has occurred to me that re-
marks regarding Mr. Byrne's candi-
dacy for Congress are both pertinent
and iustifable at the present time. Mr..
Byrne is the personal choice of Mr..
Addicks for Congress. He is not the
choice of any other man or set Of men,
AS such he is the representative OF Mr..
Addicks alone. Mr. Byrne is the
United States District Attorney for the
district of Delaware. He holds the
most important Federal office in the
State. AS such he is the nominal rep
resentative of the national administra-
tion. Are these two positions COM
patible?
Mr.. Addicks selected Mr.. Byrne be-
cause he holds a Federal Office. The
entire significance Of Mr.. Byrne's Wig
orous champiOning OF Mr. Addicks
flows from his official standing and
position. Thus an Office bestowed upon
Mr. Byrne because he strenuously op-
posed corruption and debauchery is
now used by Mr.. Byrne to uphold de-
bauchery and corruption.

LEVI G. BIRD DEAD

Levi c. Bird, one OF the ablest law
yers In Delaware. as well as one OF her
strongest characters, died early this
morning atihis country home near Della
ware City. The news comes as a shock
to all who knew Mr.. Bird-and Who
did not? Forceful, brilliant and origi-
nal. Mr. Bird had won a high place In
the legal world, and he had no desire
70 subordinate his profession to an
official life. He has been wont to say
that the people OF Delaware couldn't
force him to accept any office, and
when, at times, he was urged to ac-
cept an election TO the United States
Senate he firmly refused, saying that
nle could not be hired to take II
No man ever had warmer friends or
more Of them. and yet no man ever
had more positive convictions or hesi-
tated less to express them. Before a
jury he was at his best; he had a mar
nelous gift Of brushing aside the thou
sand trifing incidents which befog a.
case, and of going to the root OF things
where lie the fundamental motives for
human action. TO the younger mem
bers of the bar he was friend and "
comrade. Astory comes to mind which
illustrates his greatheartedness. He
was appointed along with another law
yer a few years ago to examine a canA
didate for admission to the Court OF
Chancery. He insisted that the appli-
can't knew more law than either OF his
examiners and offered to lend him all
his valuable books TO perfect himself
IN equity He used every effort TO make
the ordeal easy for the young man. and
when a question was answered, he
would remark; Il guess that's right;
don't know" Levi Birds weaknesses
were those which made him friends,
and no man will be more sincerely
mourned.
Mr.. Bird never wanted an ONCE, and
frequently had to refuse nominations
yet he was always an active and in
dependent force in politics He was q
Republican, consistent and aggressive
One OF the most impressive scenes o.
his active life was when he appeared
before the National Committee to pleaS
for the seating OF the Regular delega
tion from Delaware, two years ago
The committee had been sitting al
day and well into the night and tn
members we're restless and weary. Blu
Mr.. Bird had not spoken a dozen sen
tences before there was a hush, mem
bers craned their necks to catch hi
every word. and in tones that carrie
conviction he fought the battle tina
was lost ere he began. There we lik
to picture him, standing, erect, aler
his keen gaze reaching over the gatl
ering with the look Of a master. Thel
he stood using his highest powers, witt
out the incentive OF personal adval
tage. asking for nothing for himsel
but for justice to Delaware. NSo scel
better portrays the great character

There is general comment this year
on the scarcity of hard shell crabs.
There has not been a bushel, all told,
caught in local waters this summer.
Last year at this time grabbing parties
daily went to New Castle and brought
back baskets and bags with fat, blue
claw crustaceans. Riverside Park and
Delaware City also were favorite crab
bing spots, but this year there are no
good places. 1T may be" said fish
erman yesterday, that when the gum
ners begin a general slaughter of reed
and rail birds in the marshes a few
crabs may be caught along the river
shore between the mouth OF the Chris
tiana river and Delaware city"
why do you think that the cunning
season will make grabbing better?" he
was asked.
well, you see the gunners cripple
hundreds of birds that die in the
marsh and these cripples make their
way toward the edge of the marsh,
where the water is deep. The crabs

THE reason that electricity is not yet
sufficiently abundant and cheap, owing
to slow progress in. harnessing water
falls and utilizing cheap coal for its
production. When every waterfall in
our Piedmont country and every coal
mine has electric generators close by
with which to supply the needs of viii
lages and cities, near and remote, then
electricity will tend to realize Mr.. E1i-
sons prediction. At present we haul
coal to the electric generator; what we
need to do is to carry the generator to
the mouth of the mine and use cheap
coal that now goes to waste.

From the New York Sun.
1t is painful to find further proofs
of what Mr.. Bryan would call "appar-

tendent Of instruction in Newbraska
says that the farmers of the western
part Of that State are so prosperous
that "the farmers sons and daughters
sons and daughters don't need the
money and will not teach school" Sc
many Nebraska villages are without
schoolmasters and schoolmistresses
would it not be better to have less ZAP
