brings to an end the career Of one OIL
Wilmington's brightest physicians,
who for years battled with a malady
which in the end was to prove fatal.
There are heroes In life who never
saw a battlefield. As a young man he

largely by his own efforts, and as a
stranger came to this city. and, despite
the disadvantage of lack Of acQuaint-

In the midst Of his career he was
stricken with the dread malady, con-

work. When It became evident that ne

met with immediate success, and while
brother physicians were predicting his
death. his energy was unabated. He
lived and continued his work on sheer
grit; others were dependent on his ef-
forts. and ne would not die. When he
could no longer struggle to his Office,
he determined to so to Arizona, and

The position of these fearful con-

last public utterance of William Nc

sassin struck him down. After de-
scribing the yastness and intricacy of
our industries. he affirmed that "our ca
pacity to produce" had so developed
that ''the problem of more markets re-

The period of excluslveness is
past. Reciprocity treaties
are In harmony with tine spirit of the
times. If perchance some of our
tariffs are no longer needed, for reve-
nue. or to protect and encourage our
industries at home, why should they
not be employed to expand and pro-
mote our markets abroad?"
William Mckinley was ever the un-
wavering advocate of protection to
home industry. His faith i'm that prin-
ciple no man can question. Yet he de-
clared clearly that this principle alone
had done all It could for the American
people, and proclaimed reciprocity
not as the reversal. but as the fulfill

LETTERS FROM TIE PEOPLE,
A Denial


To the Editor OF the Evening Journal
Sir:-In it's issue of the 10th inst,
The Every Evening, in commenting on
a conversation that was held with Mr..
ROthwell, says in substance that some
men have resolved to quit farming be-
cause OF the scarcity of labor, which
scarcity is due to the fact that in every
town there is a large number of ne
groes who cannot be induced to work
for love or money. and that the reason
these negroes cannot be induced to
work is because of political corruption.
BY actual count there are ninety
| three colored men in and around this
town. who may be considered as be-
longing to this community. OF this
number. sixteen own or are buying
property ten are farming on shares,
while there are nineteen who cannot
be relied upon, but who work in spells.

PATTY pRINCIPLIs

l.. a. Watres, a candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination OF the Re
publican party OF Pennsylvania, has
issued an open letter in which, among
other things he says:
The great Republican party OF Penn
sylvania was built up by men OF char
acter and integrity. Il grew and pros
pered by reason of its loyalty and de-
yOtiOn to principle and TO the peoples
welfare. 1t has in the past made itself
felt in the councils of the Nation and
has added luster and renOwn to oul
great Republic.
Today the proud State of Pennsyl
vania stands before her sister States
with shame and confusion of face. Tn,
Legislature of 1901 brought merited re

upon the commonwealth. Commercial
politics have well-nigh wrought tn
partys ruin. Bribery has run ram

Political Notes
It is understood that a meeting of
Icoloreo men was scheduled for last
Tuesday night It was intended as a
boost for a candidate for office Owing
to some misunderstanding the meeting
was postponed until next Tuesday
night.
Although the office of receiver of
taxes and county treasurer will not be
balloted for for two years. II. Clayton
White will be a candidate for the
nomination. Mr. White was Horace
G. Rettew's chief opponent two years
ago, and his friends predict victory for
him this time.
Ferris Giles wants another office. So
does A. d. Vandever. The latter will
contest with James r. Chandler for
coroner. Giles is not after corOner's
assistant this time. but aspires for one
of the Court House berths. The Court
House offices are all. excepting sher-
iit. under the fee system, and net be-
tween $500 and $4,000 per annum.
George C. Rothwell is the only
Democrat to date who has displayed
nerve enough to come out for sheriff
of New Castle county.
A prominent Republican remarked
one day recently that the building of
the Kent county trolley ROAD was the
only salvation that Frank Alice had.
He will in all probability control the
votes Of the workmen. Kent countians
.appear tired of the bossism DISPLAYED

But IL is now the county's turn, and
the Levy Court seems to want certain
items of information before 1t opens
