FAC Good ceuntry Doctor,


TIE career OF DR.. Griffin Goldsborough
of Caroline county, Md, who died on
Sunday last, was remarkable for more
reasons than one, in the opinion of the
Baltimore Sun. He had practiced
medicine rs country doctor from 1888
almost down 10 the present time, n
period Of "a years. In that time the
good he did cannot be estimated. He
was friend of the poor, and his pro
fessional services were never withheld
because his patient was too poor to pay
for them. In country practice this
is essentially different from the same
kind of generosity in the city, where the
charity involves a journey perhaps OF q
few blocks. But il is test of Christian
kindness for man to be required to
ride perhaps 10 miles in the most in.
clement weather, and possibly at night,
carrying his medicines with him, and
knowing that he will have to await his
recompense until he hears the sen
tence, II was sick and We visited me. ~
The country doctor not infrequently
drifts into politics, and when he bc-
comes candidate he is always a strong
one. AS far back as 1860 tho late DR..
Goldsborough was member of the
Legislature Of Maryland. He attended
the session Of 1861 at Frederick, and,
with other members of that famous
body, was imprisoned at Fort Delaware
for no cause but as victim of military
despotism.

A Marked Difference.

In letter to Populist Senator Mr..
Bryan writes that he expects to do all
in his power to laid those who are
determined to prevent the Cleve-
landizing of the Democratic party. :"
The Democratic party when it was
Clevelandized, +" to use Mr.. Bryan S
term, won two national elections out
Of three, and the one defeat was more
the result of party treachery than an
adverse public sentiment, as it was at
tended by small Democratic majority
on the popular vote. The people of the
country, therefore, practically endorsed
a "Clevelandized" Democratic party
three times in succession. But when
the party became "Bryanized' it was
overwhelmingly defeated twice in sue
cession, the second time by larger
popular and electoral majority than
the first. This represents the differ
ence between "Clevelandized" and a
"Bryanized" Democratic party.

Another Cuban scandal.

The story that Gen Wood, during
our military occupancy of Cuba, paid
considerable sums II money to Gen.
Gomez, for tho purpose of keeping
him quiet" is admitted by the War
Department, and Secretary of War
Root assumes full responsibility for
the peculiar procedure. The explana-
tion, as given out by high official Of
the War Department, is as follows;
Gen. Wood thought, and Secretary
Root thought afterward, that Gen.
Gomez was entitled to consideration I;
TO home, which was supplied him,
and in which he entertained his COM
rades, and to an income, which last
might be set down rs a small offset to
the money due Gomez from the Cuban
Republic. That the Cubans themselves
regarded the matter in the same light
was shown by the passage by the
present Cuban Congress, among tho
very first of its acts, of bill pro
viding liberal pension for Gen.
Gomez. 1t is believed that hut for
this assumption of the costs of Gomez's
living expenses the conditions in Cuba
might have laralleled those in the
Philippines, and the United States
government, after fighting Spain to
secure freedom for the Cubans, might
have heen Obliged to turn on them the
force of her arms.
So far as this explanation is con-
cerned, the incident is made to appear
as an act of bribery. For if the Cuban
administration was bound to provide
for" Gen. Gomez, it was likewise
bound to provide for every other
soldier officer and private who fought
with Gomez in the war for Cuban in
dependence. To pay only Gomez, there
fore, was an act of favoritism and
injustice. On tine other hand if the
government was not bound to provide
for Gomez and all his soldier following
and few will maintain that it vas
then the act of providing for Gomez
alone stands as an act of bribery--as
tho price for keeping him quiescent
while the work of Transforming Cuba
into an independent Republic was in
progress
Unless 4 clearer and more salts
factory explanation is given, this
Com u episode can be regarded only in
the light of scandal and rerroach
upon our administration OF Cuban
affairs. 1t was an act Of darkness,
that only came to light long after il
was committed. Had those responsible
for it Leon satisfied that it was {
proper proceeding, and the that coulc
! have withstood criticism, they woulc
have made it public at that time, ant
not wasted until the accident o
chance exposed it.

CUNNING BEDFORD'S CHAIR.


Presented to the Historical Society--Dates
Back to Revolution.
In the absence of Chief Justice
Charles b. Lore, Francis ii. Hotfecker
presided at the monthly meeting of the
Historical Society of Delaware Monday
night. A chair which was at ono time
tho property OF Cunning Bedford was
presented TO the society by James II.
lioifecker, DR., on behalf of Mrs. John
Wilson Of Ocean Grove, n. j., whose
husband was at one time president of
the Wesleyan Female Seminary. She
received it from the widow of William
McCaulley, who had received it from
Miss Henrietta Bedford.
In presenting the chair, Mr.. Hoffecker
gave an interesting account of its
history which dates back to the battle
of the Brandywine. Cunning Bedford
was an intimate friend Of Washington
and Lafayette, and during the hattie
of Brandywine both visited the Bedford
mansion. The chair presented by Mr..
Hoffecker graced tho library in the
Bedford mansion, as the chair of state
and seryeral times had for its occupants
Washington and Lafayette. Cunning
Bedford was born in 1747, and at one
time was attorney general and after
wards was sent to tho General Assem-
bly,. He rose rapidly in politics, and
was sent to Congress in 1883. In 1889
he was appointed United States Dis
trct Judge. 1t was largely through
his strenuous efforts that each State
has an equal representation in the
United States Senate.
The society accepted the relic and
thanks will be extended to Mrs. Wilson.

The Sussex Republican argues, al

The Sussex Republican argues, and
very properly, that State Treasurer
Burris, State Auditor Norman and
Congressman Ball, having been chosen
to two year offices and having faithfully
performed their official duties, are
entitled to denomination at the hands
of Delaware Republicans. So they are.
But Boss Addicks says that Congress
man Ball shall not be reelected, and
that settles it. Congressman Ball is
personally and politically obnoxious to
Boss Addicks, and tho latter has passed
the word to his fellows that he must
be opposed If the Regular Republicans
insist upon renominating him. So
much for Addicksism in Delaware
politics. The Republican who will not
submit to the rule of Addicks must be
defeated at the election. But how
would it do for the people to defeat
Addicks, and thus end this offensive

Shall We Take in New Castle ?

In an interesting letter to the New
Castle News, which is reprinted else
where in this issue, Dr. John j. Black
urges that when the next charter for
the city of Wilmington is enacted, the
municipal limits lie extended so as
to take in the city of New Castle.
While the idea is not a new one, this
is, we believe, the first time it has
been seriously agitated, and DIR. Black
suggests some very good and practical
reasons in support of his proposition.
The distance between South Whining
ton and New Castle is not so great that
it cannot easily he covered by ordinary
municipal regulations.
The most important point to be con-
sidered, we believe, is the temper of
the people of Wilmington. 1t is easy
to conceive why New Castle should be
not only willing, but anxious, to be.
come part of Wilmington. But will
Wilmington be willing to take New
Castle within her municipal arms?
That tho union would be a benefit
to New Castle is not to be doubted.
But would Wilmington profit?
Should it appear that the advantage
would be mutual, we may expect to set
the proposed consolidation consum
mated before many years.
