pREAcH1No AND PRACTICE.

Can political dishonesty be entirely dis sociated from official dishonesty? and can either dominate a man without affecting his personal honesty? And if an official condones or sustains political bribery and corruption in another can he relieve himself of all responsibility in the acts of his friend or client? Senator Carmack referring directly to conditions existing in Delaware, declares that the public has seen ..one of the fairest in the sisterhood of States debauched and deiowered by the lust of one coarse and vulgar mill lionaire; and instead of shocking the con- science of every honest man in the coun- try the chief instrument of his depravity was rewarded by presidential appointment to high and honorable office. Blown with insolence and contemptuous of all de- ceney, he publicly proclaims that none but his own panderers and procurers may expect favor at the hands of the national administration"
 This Is a severe arraignment of Ad- dicks and Addcksism all will admit, but is it too severe? Let those who have kept track of Delaware politics for some years ask themselves the question and see If they do not feel impelled to answer that it is not, We doubt if the entire history of American politics exhibits a more thoroughly interruptions and braz- enly corrupt political scoundrel than this same Addicks. Bribery and corruption are the weapons he delights in and on which he relies for the advancement of his own interests or those of his friends. and we doubt if he would know how to conouct an honest political contest even if he could be benehted in no other way. This is the man and the manner of man who is the right bower and chief pie-dis- penser of Roosevelt in Delaware. It would be a gross islander on the Presi- dents intelligence to assume that he is ignorant of the character or methods of his Delaware friend. He is obliged to know what the public knows in this in- stance and his strongest adherent would hardly do him the injustice to say that he is ignorant of these things.
 The question naturally arises. how can
 
 affiliate with Addfcks without partaking to some extent of his methods, or incur ring some of the obloquy which covers the latter? He that toucheth pitch shaIl be defiled herewith" says Solomon, and there is a homely proverb that "a man who lies down with a dog shal get up with feas on him." or something like that, and the President might well bear both the sayings in mind. In practically allying himself with Addicks he touches pitch and some of it will stick to him. Can he affiliate with such man, con- done his offences, appoint his tools and make war on his enemies without, to some extent. making himself party to Addicksism? We know that Roosevelt is very much given in his public addresses. to preaching personal and political hon. esty and purity. but this Delaware mat ter is not the only instance where his preaching and practice fail to agree. His sermons would doubtless be much more effectual if he would follow his own coun. aals

ball without the bat as to drop their names from true history, Who was the leader or who the leaders. of the origi- | nal Southern movement?
 | Pupil-Jeffcrson Davis led.
 Teacher-Hardly so. There are five vol umes written by him and his wife relat- | ing to his entire career. In these books that allegation is denied. Each book ex- pressly repudiates the thought that he led public opinion to that act.
 Pupil-Chambers says he was 'Presi- dent' and mentions no one else as probable leader in the movement to form a Southern Confectionery. so my Inference | was natural that Davis was the leader.
 Teacher-Nature does not produce his tory!
 Pupil-No, nor does history always open | the nature of events!
 Teacher-Did the Southern Confectionery attempt to open negotiations with Flu ropean powers to recognize it among the nauons?
 Pupil-Slidell and Mason, sent as agents of the Confederacy on such mission, were captured at sea. only know of | them.
 Teacher-They were the second Comrnis- sion. A Commission was sent as soon as the Confederacy was organized at Mont gomery, composed of Yancey of Alabama, President; Rost of Louisiana, and A. Dudley Mann, Associates.
 | Pupil-I SC no mention of those names in any capacity In my book. | Teacher-The Southern Confectionery was organized by great statesmen on foun- dations of the most refined civics. In that respect it was the highest type of gov | ernment ever known. In evidence of this claim for it, the present Department of Justice of the United States was copied from the Confederate Constitution. It did not originate with the United States but with the Confederate States. Again. President Cleveland wanted the Consti- tuition amended to choose a President once | in six years, who would not be eligible for a second term. That was feature | of the Confederate Constitution. Coming | to military genius in organization and &C., tivity, the Confederate States built the first iron clad war ship in the world; Hunley, a soldier of Alabama Regi> ment, invented and built at Mobile the first submarine torpedo boat in the world | A Confederate soldier invented the best l percussion cap machine then known and | Dr. Broun, late of the Alabama Polytech- nic, discovered in the earth new fulmi- | nate for caps The mounted infantry of | Forrest and Wheeler was new arm of the service, unknown. as those Generals used it, before Then, again, General l Miles said, officially, that the organization | of the Confederate army was the best of | all American armies, recent or remote. What light does your text book throw on these facts of American origin and Amer ican life?
 Pupil-I know nothing of any of them from my text book. I am not taught there to see the great war in different colors from mere battle field scenes. h. sufficient representation of American character is given to the events, I sup pose.

LONDON SMILES AT

Much About the Reputed Scotch

SPECIAL BY CABLE TO THE NEW YORK
HERALD AND THE ST LOUIS
London. Sept. 7~.-(Copyright. 1SOs.ELon-
don is not wildly excited over the reports
from Canada Of a possible Americas Cup
challenge on behalf Of Mrs. W. Graene
Hunter. Indeed, most Londoners profess
to be heartily sick Of that variety Of inter
national yacht racing in which q British
boat cannot win a single race.
None of the English papers appears to
know anything about the Hunters and
their Scottish contemporaries are not
much better informed. a special dispatch
from the Glasgow correspondent OF the
Herald and The Republic says not much
reliance is to be placed upon the report
from America that Mr.. ". Graeme Hunt
er Of Arrochar intends challenging on be-
half of his wife for the Americas Cup. No
such gentleman Is known as residing at
Arrochar, nor is the name familiar in
Clyde yachting circles. The idea of nav
ing an amateur crew Of capable yachts
men is not considered feasible -
Another correspondent sends the follow
ing from Edinburgh:
"Graeme Hunter is known throughout
Scotland as the boss union s1nasher. SIX
weeks g he conducted a tailor's work
shop in Edinburgh to counterfeit the tai
lors' strike. He went to Montreal in con-
nection with the Canadian immigration
Bureau He is certainly not a millionaire"
