The following notice, which appears
this week in the Democratic papers OF

itself:

This list of signatures includes the
names Of some of the best and most
prominent Democrats of Sussex county,
and they are guarantee that tho men
who have signed the notice mean ex-
actly what they say. 4
We are sure that this notice will be
sufficient to prevent the use OF money
ut the coming Democratic primaries in
Georgetown hundred, for none who
seek the nominations will care to incur
the open hostility of these prominent
Democrats, as they surely will II they
are detected in the expenditure of a
single dollar for suffrage corruption.
We hope that these Georgetown hun.
bred Democrats will not only adhere
resolutely to their determination with
respect to the Democratic primaries, but
will preserve the same attitude at the
general election. Here they may well
go further, and in addition to refusing
to vote for any candidate who uses oil
countenances the use Of corruption
fund, resolve to vigorously prosecute
any man who attempts to corrupt ths
voters, no matter in whose interest be
may be engaged. Organizations for this
purpose all over the State, composed o.
men like those who appended theil
names to the above notice, could do q
great work towards securing an abso
lutely pure election in Delaware this
year.

SUICIDE OF BARTINE ANDREWS.


His Body Found Monday in williams
Milippnd, MT SeafOrd.
Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal
Seatord, Sept. %. Tho body Of
Bartine Andrews, aged So years, who
had been missing since last Friday,
was found in Williams millpond yes
terday afternoon by two gunners His
family had supposed that he was a
victim of foul play, but the body bore
no marks of violence.
Mr.. Andrews left home, after eating
a hearty dinner, for short walk. Fail
ing to return at supper time, q search
ing party was organized, and the search
was continued until yesterday after
noon, whom the corpse was found.
Having left his watch and other valua-
bles at home, it is now thought that
he committed suicide. Mr.. Andrews
recently received 5000 as his share Of
an estate that was left to him and
others some years ago, but the sum was
less than he expected to receive This,
it Is supposed, prompted him to take
his life.
The body was removed to James II.

The following editorial paragraph,
recently printed in the Morning News,
seems to have attracted significant at
tention in Union Republican circles:
These Republicans who are getting
disturbed over the congressional nomi-
nation should possess their patience.
The present situation of two candidates
on Republican tickets is illogical and
absurd. In the end there will be only
one Republican candidate for the con-
gyessional nomination, rs there ought
to have been in the beginning.
Commenting on this editorial, the
Milford Chronicle, a strong Addicks
Republican organ, says that the
Morning News is moved to announce
editorially that DR.. Ball will be taken
down and compromise candidate be
named as a candidate for Congress- -
The Morning News made no such an.
nouncemen6, but the Milford Chronicle
seems to construe its utterance to this
effect, 1t adds that the News "could
have gone further and stated that the
man compromised on win not have the
least faint of the Regular faction about
him. " And that blatant Addicks organ,
the Union Republican of Georgetown,
also copies the News editorial, adding
And his name will not be L. Heislel
Ball, either"
Now, what does all this mean? I.
there conspiracy among these three
papers to throw DIR. Ball down and put

NATIONS IN A BR0IL.

London, Eng, Sept, %. Diplomatic
relations between Great Britain and
Venezuela are on the verge of being
severed.
Amy day, almost any hour, may bring
the announcement that tho British
minister at Caracas has been given his
passports, with corresponding action
towara the Venezuelan representative
in London. The cause Of the crisis
does not seem to be- confined to any
particular incident, but consists In Il
number of differences which, it is de.
clared here, eliminated in Venezuela
assuming such an angry attitude as to
leave Downing street fully impressed
with the belief that the Venezuelan
government intends to force crucial
issue.
1'hat diplomatic rupture would re-
suit in hostiliLies is contingency thus
far scarcely contemplated. Tho present
relations are so strained that, to quote
responsible British official, it would
make little difference il the fact be-
came public property by tho absence Of
the diplomatic representatives from
Caracas and London.
The view OF the Foreign Office is
that the situation has reached u stage
Whtto ~ 10 iihpoa5ibio W uthl ehblH-
faotorily with Venezuela in any case
which may come up. In proof Of this
contention the Foreign Office instances
tho report Of the United States min.
lister at Caracas, Herbert W. Bowen,
announcing that Venezuela has pro-
tested against the British flag being
raised over Patos, or Goose, Island,
over which the Venezuelan government
claims sovereignty. According to the
British governments understanding
Patos Island belongs to Great Britain
Just as much as Trinidad, and so far
as known no question as to it's owner
ship had ever previously arisen.
Residents of the island, it is de-
clared here, have recently been shot
and otherwise endangered through the
action of the Venezuelans, whether
government or revolutionary partisaas
is not known. For purposes Of protsc-
tion tho local West Indian authorities
ordered the British flag to be promi
nently displayed on the island, hence
the protest, which the Foreign Office
says is only one of many.

The Philadelphia Ledger asserts that
the President sis wrong to assume
shat anyone, high or low protectionist,
wishes to iniure trusts which serve the
public honestly and benefit the country,
as ahsensible people wish to encourage,
support and help such trusts. Those
against which popular protest is made
are the evil trusts which, under the
protection Of the governments tariff
laws, prey upon the entire population
and divide their plumber among their
ownscomparatively few partners. The
entire 70, 600, 900 of consumers are to-
day, because of some of the Dingley
schedule which kill competition and
restrain trade, paying millions of un.
earned. arbitrarily exacted profits into
the Golfers of rapacious trusts. The
President to the contrary, the evil done
by the bad trusts can and should be
remedied by a proper change in the
tariff laws.

the mutder of Anne L. Etter, aged 10
years. The drop fell at IL. 10 a. m.
AT Gantz's request the execution was
private, not moro than 20 persons being
present. He walked firmly to tho

The murderer ate no breakfast, but

adviser, Rev. u. s. Brownmiller, pastor
Of st. Marks Lutheran Church, con.
firmed him several days ago.
George Gantz's crime was the murder
Of Annie Etter, Is years OF age and a

idle and shiftless Tho girl was the
daughter of David Etter, respectable
citizen, and the granddaughter OF Rev.
Samuel Etter, retired Clergyman OF

Gantz mot her near her homo and took
her on trolley ride beyond the out
skirts of the city. The couple returned
about 1870 o'clock, and were seen
going down an alley, the girl protest
ing all the while. Three hours later
she was found in an open wagon shed,
her skull fractured with board There
was every evidence that she mad

hours later. Gantz's only defence was
that he did not know what he was
doing. His conviction followed last

Former Senator Marion Butler of
North Carolina, chairman of the Popu-
list National Committee, is credited
with the declaration that the Populists
will go into no more combinations with
Democrats to secure tho defeat of the
Republicans. This is good news for
Democrats, for it was tine alliance with
Populism that brought such disaster
upon the Democratic party in 1896 and
1900. In 1892, when the Ponulsts had
their own candidates for President and
Vice President, and secured % electoral
votes for them, the Democratic party
swept the country. populism was the
"Old Man of the Sea" to the Demo
cratic party, and once relieved OF this
strangling burden, that party will
again look hopefully to victory in a
national campaign.

oh. oulIeIess Mr.. Bach.

In his circular letter appealing TO
Republican volars for their support OF
him as the Republican candidate for
register Of wills for New Castle county,
Mr.. Frederick Eden Bach says: "It
IL not amiss, in this connection, to
insist that the cause and the occasion
imperatiyely demand that some Repub-
lioan who can and will do it, shall he
placed in position in this country
which shall enable him to stop a
further disintegration Of the Republic
can party"
Now, it must be admitted that the
"disintegration OF the Republican
party, y to which Mr.. Bach so pointedly
alludes, is going on grandly. 1t is
progressing SO rapidly that it promises
to assure Democratic success when
Democratic success was not expected.
And why Mr.. Bach, as candidate for
nomination at the hands of the Repub-
lican praty, should make this fact SO
patent in his appeal for votes, Is not
apparent. But so it is.
Now, how can the nomination OF Mr..
Bach for the Office of register Of wills,
or even his election to the office, put
stop to this painful "disintegration
of the Republican party" that he ex-
ploits as an argument in favor Of his
prefermentf Not in the slightest de-
gree. Unless he makes il appear that if
nominated and elected he can manipu-
late the wills of dead men and women,
and the various derises to living men
and women, so as to inuro to the Bone
fit OF the Republican party, then his
appeal is in vain. 1t 10 but as the
sounding brass and tinkling Gym
balls. y
Mr.. Bach has made only one thing
apparent in his circular appeal for the
support of Republican voters ut their
party nomination, and that is that
there is a threatening "disintegration
OF the Republican party" Doubtless
this is true, but Mr.. Bach will hardly
be thanked for thus parading the fact
before the voting public. That his
nomination would serve to counteract
this obvious disintegration of the
Republican party, which he goes to
such pains to make manifest, is ex
ceedingly doubtful. On the contrary,
many Republicans are of the opinion
that tho nomination OF Mr.. Bach
would only make the Republican
disintegration the more pronounced.
Therefore, they should refuse to nomi
nate the man who advances party
weakness and party disintegration as
an argument in favor of his preferment
by the party's voters.

trusts, securely protected by the tariff,
