AT one OF the mines near Wilkes
barre yesterday. a crowd of strikers
fred on the deputies guarding the
property. Under the protection OF a
high fence the deputies fed and thus
escaped being shot down. It is said
that the assailants were mostly for
eigners. and 1t is from a certain class
of these that trouble is likely to come.
AS the strike proceeds. the ignorant
and lawless will grow more and more
restless and violent. and this will
cause trouble for the owners and
bring the cause of the miners into dis
repute. These men have an undoubted
right to quit work. and they have al
present a certain amount Of public
sympathy, without which they cannot
hope to succeed. This being true, 1t Il
to the interest Of the better element tC
suppress lawlessness.

NEW WSpAPER OPINION
For an Honest saIIot
the Nashville American.

From the Nashville American.
It lis idle to talk Of negro domination
in this State. The negro is no longer
an anxious or an active voter. Many
negroes cannot vote and many have
lost the desire to vote. 1t is a danger
Gus thing to tamper with the ballot
box. II is an easy step from practic-
ing election frauds with the negro as
an excuse to perpetrating fraud against
white voters The practice, (which is
essentially dishonest. leads to perjury,
is apt eventually to lead to murder, de-
stroys respect for law, confidence in
the honesty of elections, and creates an
immoral influence which means evil
for the country. When a voter deposits
his vote in the ballot-box he should
feel confident that It will be fairly
counted and honestly returned, that il
will count for as much as any other
honest ballot and that no dishonest
ballot will count for anything. He can
not feel this confidence when ne knows
or believes that fraud is practiced
When fraud and trickery are prac-
ticed then elections become a farce and
respect for law and authority is seri-
ously diminished, honest men become
disgusted and many remain away from
the polls.
The ballot-box should be held sacred
and its purity protected at any cost.
Without this it is idle to talk of demo-
cratic government or TO boast of the
honest rule of a free people. In times
past serious charges of election frauds
have been made in Tennessee, and
while some of these We're unquestion-
ably false others have been generally
believed even believed by some who
have denied them. Let us hope that
in the future no such charges will have
even the shadow of a base to rest
upon.

The Pennsylvania flyers. recently
placed in service for the run between
New York and Chicago, have demon
strated their ability to beat the sched-
ule Of twenty hours, by several min
utes. II may be difficult TO keep UP
this record. but when we remember
that so much attention is now being
given to tracks and rolling stock, We
may expect safer and more rapid
travel. In the seventies and eighties
each road was anxious TO extend its
lines. This was continued till often
times competition proved disastrous.
Now millions are being spent in reduc-
ing grades. eliminating curves, inn
proving the road beds, and in building
safer and better cars and engines. A
few years ago we were proud OF our
mileage; now we are becoming proud
OF our equipment.

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
Became separated from HIs nsadIe"

Became Separated From HIS "Sadie"
There was a big crowd Of people
waiting for a Brandywine Springs car
last Sunday at Sixth and King streets.
There were a young man and woman
in the crowd. He evidently was a
farm hand and the young woman prob
ably was his new bride. He advised
her to stand behind him as he realized
that there was going to be a scramble
for seats. When the car came along
he made wild lunge for it and catch
ling the hand rail was dragged about
two yards. but succeeded in boarding
the car. The brides skirts prevented
her from emulating the acrobatic per-
fcrmance of her husband and the crowd
surged toward the car separating the
man and woman. and in a twinlling
the man found the car filled and his
wife not among the passengers.
Where's Sadie?" he called out to
the amusement OF the passengers
There she is. Come on, Sadie"
'fTing, ting" went the bell, and the
car began TO move of.
The man became excited.
Hold on there! you've forgot Sadie!
Stop this carl" he yelled.
The car was stopped and the con-
ductor asked: do you want to get
off?v
mo. I want you TO wait till Sadie
gets on"
The conductor muttered something
about not being able to wait all day
for Sadie and signaled the motorman
to go ahead. The groom stood it for
another square when he alighted and
went back to find Sadie, vowing that
"wimmin wuz the slowest critters on
earth"

Only One Nay Is Right


My boy" said Uncle Hiram, once,
while giving me advice.
"The saw that doesn't wabble is the
one that cuts the ice;
When half way through temptation
may beset it, like as not,
To leave the place that seemeth hard
and seek a thinner spot;
But shifting saws will learn at length,
when failure they Invite,
There's many a way O. doin' things
but only one ways right!
And bear in mind, my boy, through
life, If tempted tasks to shirk,
Success is but a second crop. the after
math of Work
A safe cross-cut to Fame or Wealth
has never yet been found,
The men upon the heights today are
Those who've gone around
The longest way. inspired by the
sayin', somewhat trlte,
There's many a way o. doin' things
but only one ways right"
l knew my Uncle Hiram had achieve
ment's summit reached;
/ / knew him as an honest man, wh'
practiced what he preached
Act we'll your part; tenaciously 4
one straight course adhere;
! Though men declare you're in a rut-
work on, and never fear;
You'll realize. when you at length lhav
reached achievements height,
There's many a way o doin' things

ADDICKS LOSES CASE;

Dover. June 1.-THE Supreme Court
in session here today affirmed the de-
cision against ]. Edward Addicks in
the suit of Harry Content & Co., of
New York. against the Bay State Gas
Company of Delaware, requiring open
stock books in Wilmington.
The court stated no reason for de-
ferring the reading of the opinion un-
It'll later.
The decision is vital because it puts
all old corporations under the new in
corporations law regarding service

The court also affirmed the Superior

ment in Loves favor in the damag,

a Reformer Gore Wrong
m lhe Baltlmore Ameriean.

From the Baltimore American.
"A healthy devil is much more i'm
pressive than an angel down with
nervous prostration. Simple depravity
is not so debasing as moral incompe-
tency"
These words which are not only ex-
treme in their bitterness, but none too
reverent. were part of an interview
left behind by Rev. DR.. Charles H..
Parkhurst. of New York, the other
day, before he sailed for Europe to
take a rest from his ministerial labors.
lt is hard to believe that DR.. Park
hurst holds such views but ever since
Mayor Strong refused to listen to all
his demands the minister has been a
caustice critic of every effort towards
honest government in that city. Time
and again has he declared that Crok-
ers rule is preferable to that of Low.
whom he now compares to an angel
down with nervous prostration. Yet
all men know that Low is a man OF
very superior haracter-certainly he
must have been to be President of such
a university as Columbia. 1t was not
TO be expected that he could in a week
or a month clean out all the rotten
ness and iniQuity that Tammany had
unloaded on that city; but every move
he has made since he became Mayor
has been move in favor OF better
and cleaner government.

either a very treacherous or a very
convenient memory.
Mr.. Bell then becomes much excited
over the charge Of fraud which the Re-
view made, not against the faculty,
but against gentlemen like himself,
who. while disclaiming any direct atl-
thority to speak for the faculty, yet
distinctly asserted an unlimited amount
of indirect knowledge of the faculty $
intended purpose Of recalling the sus-
pended students provided the others
returned to their work.
He says THE statement in the Re-
view which implies that fraud was
perpetrated upon the students, is an IN
suit to the gentlemen who interested
themselves in securing a settlement OF
the difficulty, disgrace to the college
paper which prints it, and, il permitted
to go unchalenged by the students, is
a reflection upon the honesty and In
tellegence Of the whole student body
Of which the Review is supposed to be
the official representative"
Now | venture to assert that il the
students made the unconditional sur
and If that surrender Unconditional
in form merely was procured by the
assurances OF Mr.. Bell and his con-
freres and their emphatic statements
made to the students, such as l have
described. it would be a rather diff
cult matter to insult such people.
There was deception and double deal
ing somewhere. If Mr.. Bell and his
really had the confidential
talks with the faculty, which they as
serted to us they had, and their assur-
ances to- the students were based upon
those talks. (Which, OF course would
make those assurances, though in form
coming only from Mr. Bell and his
in substance, indirect prom
ises from the faculty ITSELF no honest
person could complain if charge of
unfair dealing was made against the
faculty.
On the other hand, If those conf
dental talks with the faculty only ex-
listed in Mr.. Bells imagination, and ne
reported them to the students as facts
which could be safely acted on, lie
ought not to complain that such con-
duct on his part is stigmatized as
fraud.
Mr.. Bell says there was an uncon-
ditional surrender SO there was, in
form. But Mr. Bell well knows that
it was so far as the students intended,
in form only. The real terms Of the
surrender were based upon distinct as
surances given by Mr.. Bell and those
acting with him, and were very far
from being an unconditional surrender,
or a surrender of any kind, by the
students. Mr.. Bell has not shown
himself in this controversy, as his con-
duct is known to the students whom he
advised. entitled to stand upon lofty
ground. 1t won't do for him to juggie
with words and call submission upon
distinct assurances. though indirectly
given. an unconditional surrender, or
to attempt to cover his tracks by coarse
vituperation when his double dealing
is exposed. His classical scholarship
may recall the lines, as perhaps ap-
plicable to his dealings with the Della
ware College students.
And be those juggling friends no more
believed.
That palter with us in a double sense;
That keep the word of promise to our
ear
And break it to our hope
Respectfully Yours,
William p. Constable.

The regret that the case against the
Mayor of New Castle, the Sheriff, and
others. could not be heard and decided
at this term Of court, will be general.
We imagine that these officials, them
selves. would like to see the charges
disposed OF at once, but naturally they
do not wish TO go 70 trial until their
whole case is in hand. The absent
material witness appears TO be some
thing more than a mere excuse for de-
lay II the defense intends TO prove
by this man what it sets forth, then
there was every reason for asking a
continuance. There should be no dis
position to railroad these cases. What
ever the indictments may charge. there
is no present condition to remedy. We
wish that the matter were ended one
way or the other, but the most i'm
portant consideration is that these mel
under charges shall have a full oppor
tunity Of establishing their innocence
Under these circumstances the Cour
very properly postponed the trial o
the case.

so MAMIE FoR IT

We print in another column a story
true in detail. Of the internal machi-
nations of two or three politicians,
which should make the blood boil, and
every particle Of latent manhood come
10 the surface. We prefer not to say
that this Is the result Of the customs
and teachings Of any political party,
and we will not say it now. II is a
story OF the shameless efforts Of men
who have been honored by election to
office. TO bolster up their waning power
BY methods that cannot be excused by
any man who wishes to eyade public
contempt.
The story should be read through,
that we may see how low our politics
has gotten, and thatwe may be aroused
from our supine position. II makes
no difference about the politics Of the
men implicated; those who would at
tempt TO secure votes by such methods
can offer no excuse but their deprav-
ity. This is not a sensational story
but if necessary, names can be given
in full There are one or two pleasant
features 20 the matter; the people OF
the vicinity Of Milford are aroused and
indignant, and in this, party lines ap-
parently are not drawn.
We know that the custom Of buying
the votes OF men without principle
has prevailed. We have in mind al
sorts OF interruptions moves TO VIII
elections. but never before have ther,
been minds able to conceive plan tC
use the Pardon Board as a tool anG
the sympathies of the friends of pris
oners as methods to secure votes. An
other thing which our people SHOULD
remember. that these prisoners unde
the attempt TO juggle with their help
lessness. played the part Of men, ant
spurned the tenders. In such a llgh
they should NO longer be regarded a
Democrats. or even as prisoners, bu
as men. and as such they are nor
worthy Of esteem than any set Of ras
Gals who would play upon them.
We do not mean to be harsh, but VI
are basing this story on the careful
statements Of several of the most repu
table gentlemen in the town Of Milford
and If the practices, of which this is
sample. are to continue. where are "
TO end? We have predicted that III
true-hearted people OF Delaware woul
in time call a halt If no one part
can save us. then let us not forget thu
