From the Delaware Pilot

From the Delaware Pilot
The lowest depth of political degra-
dation was reachedin Delaware at the
recent election. It was not that men
We're bought like sheep in the shamblesI
only, for, to our shame be it said, men
have been bought like sheep in the
shambles before. It was not that Dem
ocratic voters We'd with Republican
voters in venality, for Democratic cat
tie and Republican cattle have been
auctioned of before. There was some
thing even worse than vote-buying this
time. There was an open sale Of all
that men hold dear-there was the
spectacle of friend stabbing friend;
Democratic cut-throats hand in glove
with Republican cut-throats; Republi-
can hucksters trading with Democratic
hucksters; all the Shiny, creeping
things that love the night crawling
about in the day; absolute disloyalty
TO party obligations; the air full Of
broken pledges and lying promises;
and brazen selfishness and treason that
/ a mountain of sO-called explanations
will not cover or hide from the gaze
of honest men. 1t was not an election
lit was a fight Of Ishmaelites, with
each mans hand against the other. We
are not talking Of OF party more than
another. Republicans and Democrats
alike have brought shame and humilia-
ton to their State and made our noble
little commonwealth by-word and re-
i proach throughout the nation. There
is remedy for bribery-we see our
readers smile-but there is a remedy
If men will but enforce the law; but
where is the remedy for broken faith
and secret treachery? 1t is said that
there is honor among thieves; that
even they will not sell out their pals.
God help the Statel Are we lower than
, the thieves?

OPINIONS OF ADDIsKS
The Delaware Republicans

From the Philadelphia Press.
The true and honest Republicans Of
Delaware are again face to face Will
the question whether they will sur
render their manhood and how to tn,
aagitious and long-continued at.empf
to dominate and prostitute the Stat,
through corruption and coercion.
For years they have steadfastly
fought noble battle for political in.
tegrity and public decency. There has
heen political debauchery elsewhere;
but nowhere else has there been an
avowed effort TO buy a State and de-
grade a people so prolonged, so auda-
cious, so brazen, so unblushing. Thus
far, against all this malign power, the
brave and manly Republicans of Della.
ware have successfully resisted It.
The situation today Is just what II
has been for some yeafs. The true
Regular Republicans have strength
enough in the Legislature To defeat the
corrupt senatorial conspiracy. Is there
any reason why they should abate a
single iot of their resistance?
When Addicks had only three men,
bers of the Legislature undor his con-
troll he notified the Republicans that
they must choose him senator or no
body. and so prevented an election.
When there were two vacancies and
the Regular Republicans offered to
name a list of ten from which the
other side could choose one, and to
choose one themselves from any list of
ten the other side might name, Addicks
again answered that it must be Ad-
dicks or nobody. When 1t came to a
question of re-electing the Republican
representative in Congress this year.
Addicks put up another candidate Ell
pressly to beat him and elect a Demo-
crat.
To Addicks party claims and public
obligations have been equally a mat
ter of contempt. He has not scrupled
to use all his ill-gotten strength for
his own ends I'M defiance Of right and
morals. Who can condemn the true
Republicans for using their honest and
honorable strength in defense of right
and morals? It is said that Addicks'
candidate for Congress had more votes
than the Regular Republican candi-
date. But the latter had the unbought
vote and the whole moral force Of the
Republican party.
This contest is greater than Della
ware In a peculiar and pre-eminent
degree 1t is the fight between public
corruption and public honesty. The
eyes of the country are on it. SO far as
we have observed, outside CT the Della
ware papers controlled by Addicks
there is only one Republican paper in
the United States that uphOlds Addicks
or that does not urge the Regular Re-
publicans to do all in their power to
defeat him.
The question is primarily ore for the
true Republicans Of Delaware, but the
rest of us cannot be Indifferent to it,
The Press desires to see Republicans
stand together when it can be done
consistently with public integrity and
honor, but it cannot in conscience give
any counsel to those who have so long
and faithfully defended the cause of
honest politics in Delaware except to
fight out their battle to the end.

ABOUT rESrPERf,NoE REFORM

All respect is due to Lady Henry
Somerset and to that band Of women
I'M America who have for years carried
on crusade for temperance reform
II is the tendency of crusaders and
propagandists to take extreme views
and to translate them into extreme
measures, yet the forerunners of 10
form must proclaim their faith with q
loud voice. The pendulum swings far
in its arc. but comes to rest at NEITHER
extreme. yet at a point removed from
the position from which It was dis
turbed.
That there is less drunkenness than
formerly is certain. In the eyes OF the
world beastly intoxication puts one be-
yond the pale Of social intercourse with
decent people everywhere. and for that
reason. it is becoming less common.
Yet there is no evidence that people
generally have decided that intoxicants
should be absolutely prohibited. From
time to time the question Of prohibition
is submitted to a popular vote, and
more frequently than otherwise it is
rejected. This does not mean that a
majority OF the people rejoice in get
ing drunk, not even that they are
steady drinkers. but that it is held
that It should be a matter left to in
dividual taste. This may be mis-
taken view, but the temperance re-
formers have never succeeded in dis
sipating it.
But reform in the drink habit is go
ing ON If the consecrated women who
are aiming at it's abolition have not
reached their goal, they have aroused
public opinion and helped the world to
see certain of its abuses, and 10 reform
them. Sometimes revolutions gather
and break suddenly. but back Of them
have been impulses which have been
gathering through long periods. The
time may come when intoxicants will
be abolished from the earth, but it
will come, If it comes at all. as the
result of steady persistent education.
There is less drunkenness now, not
directly because OF temperance teach
ing, but because men generally are
more self-respecting, and have come TO
believe in higher form of living.
Ambitious men cannot afford to waste
their money and dissipate their powers
in excessive drinking. Men who have
a proper regard for their homes and
for their families are certain to be tenn
perate or TO abstain altogether. Tho
temperance reformers have furnished
a part of the education which has
brolght us higher standards OF living,
and for this they should be congratu-

A New York court has decided that
a woman is not to be ousted as teach
er in the public schools for the simple
reason that she has married. The de-
cision is righteous and sound. OF
course if il is shown in individual cases
that for any reason a teacher is unfit
for the duties imposed, there is moth
ing to prevent the authorities from dis
pensing with her services. But 20 say
that marriage is a bar, puts the stamp
of disapproval on that old-fashioned
but still useful institution. There is
reason for the presumption that, other
things being equal, married women
should be especially adapted TO the
work of disciplining and instructing
the young. Each case should be con
sidered on its merits, and IL there Il
any reason why marriage in a particu
lar case should disqualify a teacher
there should be no objection TO refus
ing such an one employment.

SOME RELIEF FOR FARMERS
Those Residing Between Ninth and
Twelfth South Allowed Water.

The city officials today decided to
grant relief to the farmers residing be-
tween Ninth and Twelfth South streets
whose crops have suffered severely for
lack of irrigating water. 1t was decid-
ed to allow the farmers In the above
district to take water from the city
canal whenever II is possible to do so.
When the injunction was granted in
the Parley's creek water case and the
city was deprived of the flow OF that
creek, II refused to allow the farmers
TO use any OF the canal water at all.
The result was that great number
Of farmers living north Of Twelfth
South street were unable TO get any
irrigating water and have suffered Sc
we're losses In crops. The city officials
feel that the farmers in that district
were not interested in the suit recently
brought against the city and that they
have been made to suffer by the acts of
others and hence they have decided to
allow them to use the water from the
canal, however little II may be.
