THE ADDICKs ROAD

The Republican party was born af-
ter Addicks. and in the nature Of
things il ought to live longer. The
way to long life. however. cannot lie
along the Addicks road.
The above is text we take from an
editorial OF the New York Sun. In out
lining our discourse we call your at
tention. first, to the statement that the
Republican party was born after Ad-
dicks. This. dear friends, suggests
that that wonderful and vigorous or
ganizaton possesses youth and vital
ity, that it has won general esteem b.
its rectitude. and by avoiding the paths
which would have led to its destruc
tion.
As our second thought we beg you L

that IN the nature OF things this part.

At the Springs This Week

That this is good park weather is
shown by the crowds that are in evil
dence at Brandywine Springs Park
these days. During the past week
there have been a large number of
picnickers on the grounds, and it has
come to be a favorite spot for folks
in town to visit and take their suppers.
At the band stand Howson and his
company of musicians continue to de-
light large audiences. and it is surely
a compliment to Professor HOwson and
his band that so many people will go
out night after night and patrOnize the
concerts. At the theatre this week a
special and novel program will be
rendered. consisting of black art il
lusiOns. illustrated songs, ETC., and
those who find pleasure in variety will
doubtless be we'll pleased. Manager

williams Michaelistocles Byrne.
patriot, scholar. lawyer and United
States District Attorney, has again de-
livered himself. This time it is to con-
done or defend the greatest crime or
Offense ever committed against our pO-
litical institutions and having himself
become a renegade, he now appeals to
these whom he has so shamefully de-
serted to come over to him and share
his dishonor.
In his latest Byrneomento, filed
with rhetorical unreason and historical
errors, he ralses the dark ages with a
fine tooth comb TO find justification and
a precedent for his most humiliating
and abject surrender or betrayal. With
his nerveless and uncertain hand he
covers and sl1ips over the pages OF his
tory reciting the most conspicuous acts
OF Cincinnatus, the brothers of Joseph,
Judas lscariot. Benedict Arnold and
others, / thank God, such rare charae
ters in history.
Byrne says his purpose and motive is
to save the Union, thereby inferring
that Mckinley was, and Roosevelt Is,
against the Union and would dismem-
Der it. Great God, what proposition!
He jabs his bombastic pen in the
ashes of poor old Themistocles, and
framing an hypothetical question he
asks lis what would have become OF

cant every seat in the United State

would be brought to a complete stand

would actually have not the Stat

throat.
Shall such man and such a policl
be triumphant. and a precedent set to

iegiance to the policy Of protection TO

procity policy as it's compliment. They
rejoice to uphold the Administration Of

A WRONG DECISION

The Trustees of the Poor yesterday
passed a resolution to the effect that no
more cases of smallpox from Whining
ton will be received at the Emergency
Hospital. until arrangements shall be
made with the city for their mainte-
nance. The position thus taken seems
TO MS illogical and indefensible There
was much said to show that Whining
ton was not bearing her share OF the
burdens. and the intent of the resolu-
tion is TO compel her to appropriate
a sufficient sum to pay for the main
tenance of the patients she sends to
THE county institution. But the answer
is that she has already paid her share
The bulk of the revenue for running
the county is paid by the people of this
municipality, and there is no reason for
charging them again. On the basis of
this logic New Castle, Newark or Mid
dletown should be charged for its pa
tients at the county institution; and
should this policy be followed, the peo-
pie would pay twice for one thing. II
patients from this city are not to be
taken unless we pay again for the eX-
pense of their keeping, then the reve-
nue. from Wilmington taxes which
goes to the support OF the institution
should be remltted. and Wilmington
could use it in her own way.
The resolution probably grew out of
the dissatisfaction at paying a bill for
provisions. which was made necessary
by quarantining certain houses in this
city. An agreement, it seems. had been
reached between the city and county
authorities under which the Poor Trus-
tees were obliged to pay il. To put a
stop to such expenditure, the resolution
referred to was passed. The mistake
was made when the trustees agreed In
advance to pay the bill. When our city
Board of Health takes measures to pre-
vent the spread of disease, it is a
municipal matter and we should pay
for it. The trustees have allowed things
to get mixed. but it may clear matters
to know that when persons are sent TO
the county institution in the regular
way they must be received. To refuse
them admittance would make anyone
turning them away liable; and the re-
suit might be serious. Once received
they must be cared for Just as all other
inmates. and the county must foot the
bill.
On the other hand for the main
tenance of any quarantine within the
city. instituted by the Board OF Health
the municipality is responsible and
must pay for. This seems to be botl
the logic and the law on the subject
