L. IRVING HANDY'S ESTIMATE OF
"TO1I' REED WRITTEN MONTHS AGO

we1s on Mn. Addicks side, and for the
reason that he thought the delegates of
that faction at st. Louis favored the
nomination Of Reed.
Speaker Resds views on much great
er questions than the Delaware fac
tional qlare, were influenced. con-
'sciously or unconsciously, by the disap-
p0intment he suffered ait the hands OF
the St. Louis Convention. Perhaps his
retirement from public life cannot 0e

appointment. He was at least in posi-
zion to see clearly the dangers toward
which the country drifted under the
administration of his rival his eyes
net being blinded by any undue par
tlality for the President Whatever
the motive or cause which prompted his
voluntary retirement from Congress-,
friend and foe must alike admit that
he carried with him the coolest nerve
and the biggest brain TO be found at
that time in public life.
Speaker Reed was physically as we'll

PREAOnnR AND LAlrY

In another column we print a part
OF an address delivered at the banquet
Of tho Sons OF Delaware of Philadel-
phla, by the Rev. Joseph Brown Turn
er, of Dover Those who are not preju-
diced in advance will fnd in his re-
marks much food for reflection. The
speaker made it plain that not only
the welfare OF the church. but the
safety OF the State depends upon the
freedom OF the pulpit. In rsading his
remarks we are led TO believe that in
certain parts of lower Delajware the
pulpit dare not teach those wholesome
lessons which relate to good ctizen-
ship which doubtless the church desires
TO impress.
OF course the separation OF church
md State contemplates that the form
er shall not control the machinery Of
government, and that the State shall
not interfere with men in the exercise
OF their religious beliefs. Yet, when
under the name OF religion, practices
are followed which are deemed detri-
mental to the public welfare, the
strong arm OF the civil law is exer-
cised as a corrective force. So, too, IL
is the duty OF every clergyman to take
cognizance of private immortality, and
when II becomes public and general
his duty is more Imperative.
But in certain parts OF this State po-
litical rascality has become so gen.
eral and so popular. that in effect the
preachers are muzzled. They may
touch lightly on the ubiquitous sys-
tenn, but their remarks must contain
nothing but the widest generalizauons

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 100:
FIGURES THAT LIE

Certain ideas novel in our journal
ism have been introduced since Ad-
dicks announced himself as the editor
of the Sun. We do not refer to that sys-
TEN OF variegated lying which has be-
come so ordinary as to occasion no
comment, but to the custom Of printing
an article and allowing it TO run with
out change for days and weeks. This
fills space, and Is admirable from the
standpoint OF reporters and compost
tors. a
For the last week the Sun has kept
standing a most remarkable table pur-
porting to show the relative strength
of the Republican and the Union Re
publican parties. This would not be
worthy Of mention were it not for the
fact that Editor Addicks, with copy
of the paper In his pocket, went to
Washington few days since and pre-
sented his figures to the President in
verihcation of his numerous state
ments Of the strength Of his party. OF
course it is impossible for one to an
swer the Sun, since no reputable paper
would put itself on a plane necessary
to do so. The only figures upon which
one can base a comparison are those
giving the vote OF Ball and Byrne, yet
this juggler makes it appear that the
Union Republicans cast more votes at
the. last election than did the Demo-
Gratis This It claims for the State and
for each of the three counties.
What is the answer? There isn't an
answer, save one that doesn't look well
in print Were this true, however, Ad-
dicks should have elected his congress-
man, and should have nominated and
elected both a State Treasurer and an
Auditor. without any help from the
Regular Republicans. lie might have
nominated and elected his full ticket
for the county offices in New Castle,
and have sent eight or ten members to
the Legislature from this county. But
what did he get? Not a State officer.
Not a county officer with the exception
OF Bach, who was regarded as Regu-
lar Republican by many OF his old
friends. He elected but one member of
the Legislature from New Castle, and
yet says he controlled nearly all the
votesl
That estimate is so full Of holes that
it leaks like sieve, and If Theodore
Roosevelt doesn't see through the mon
strous tangle Of lies, he has lost his
cunning, or has decided that Addicks
stories are entertaining and diverting.
