gentlemen to dry up" and this, after
a little further vaporing. is what they
did. We have looked through Jeffer-
sons Manual. Cushing's. and Robert
sons Rules of order and have failed
TO find a precedent for this latest rul-
ing. Our first impulse is to commend
IL, and to say that II will stand along
with Reeds celebrated ruling under
which quorum is counted, although
not voting; but upon mature delibera-
tion we conclude that the power this
new decision vests in presiding officer
must be used with great caution. When
the streams Of eloquence are damned
up there is apt TO be an overflow; when
they are dried up the fires OF ambition
and purpose are not quenched but gem
crate gases which result in an explo-
sion The waters Of mountain streams
frequently trichle down through the
crevices Of the rocks till they reach the
hidden fires below, and then some day
the top OF the mountain is blown Off.
So we see what might happen were this
ruling applied in the Senate to Ben.
TilIman, or should It be applied in a
body Of which our Secretary Of State
is a member. II is dangerous, and be-
side there are certain gentlemen SO
prone to effervesce that We're they
made literally to dry up they would
become so diaphanous that they would
blow AWAY.

Ahere ls q possibility Of another
lynching for Delaware. The people OF
Clayton are greatly excited and Justly
indignant at the shooting Of consta-
bic by young negro desperate. The

hope they viii not carry out their
threat for this spirit of lynch law has
gone entirely too far. and unless 1t is
checked It VIII become most danger
orr factor and a menace to society.
a few weeks ago the most dastardly
and shocking crime conceivable was
committed IN New Castle county. Be
cause of its atrocity. certain elements
decided that they were justified in taxi
ing the law into their own hands and
In melting out the punishment decided
upon. The terrible scenes Of the burn
ing Of that negro We're hardly over be-
fore the restless elements evinced a
disposition to go further and to take
any case IL might wish out of the hands
OF the officers of the law. It's assump-
-tion Of authority has not been rebuked,
and there is no evidence that It win be.
Thus the courts in the eyes OF the
masses have beer put in the position
of an authority that is limited by the
win of the mass as that viii may ex-
press itself on the excitement Of the
moment. and il Is unable or unwilling
% defend itself
Consequently, the restless and the
violent elements which exist in every
community are encouraged when they
have an impulse at summary ven
geance. First they burn wretch
guilty OF a most revolving crime. and
when this IS accented as necessary
and proper course. they decide TO lynch
another who has shot a man. whether
the man lives or dies. The mob knows
no distinctions; It does not discrimi-
nate: it does not classify crimes under
murder. homicide and assault. When
Il decides on vengeance there is no

Should Delaware have another lynch
ing at the present time. there is no ex-
treme to which mob violence would not
go under orovocation. We do not be-
lieve. whatever may be said, that our
best citizens" would ever engage In
this degrading pastime, but there Is an
element which under excitement is held
in check only through fear and through
respect for the law. When then the
law shows it's weakness and there Is no
evidence that its arm win be stretched
out to stay violent outbreaks, then the
dangerous element comes to the front
and becomes our rulers. This element
under q scoundrelly political leadership
has managed 10 rule Delaware under
the forms of law; II now threatens t'
rule the State without the forms of law
Meanwhile certain OF the best citi'
zens" OF Wilmington are watching th'
crowds who are hunting the Kent ne

ness to. help in the lynching, evidentl'
taking pride in the fact that they ar

U. S. SAILORS DISSATISFIED

Philadelphia, Aug. 4.-Because OF
dissatisfaction among the sailors in the
crew of the United States revenue cut
ter onondaga. 2S Of them were paid OF
at their own request upon the arrival
OF the vessel at this port. The Onon-
daga was on a cruise off the New Eng
land coast. 1t is possible that the fre-
men will make a similar demand.
The grievance of the men was that
the food is not up to the standard, and
that under a new regulation of the
treasury department a certain sum ol
the seamen's monthly wages was held
back The report that the dissatisfied
men had been put ashore on stateI
Island was denied by the officers OF thu

POSSE AFTER NEGRO
HOLLIS, WHO SHOT DOWN
CONSTABLE WRIGHT
Continued from First Page.)

The constable who uD to this time
had not been assisted by Constable
Jones, because of the latter's failure
to have a pistol, suddenly seized the
negro and wheeled him around.
Wright hoped that by so doing he
would have the revolver pointed away
from him. Before he could accomplish
this, however, Hollis pulled the trigger
and the bullet entered his victims alb
domen.
Wright, who is so years Of age, did
not fall, but succeeded in walking to
the hotel steps, where he collapsed and
was carried into the hostelry and ply
sicians summoned. His colleague start
ed in pursuit.
Hollis Escape.
AS soon as he had fired the negro
ran down the road toward Smyrna,
pointing his weapon backward as he
ran and warning the several pursuers
to keep back He soon entered a near
by cornheld and started across country.
Word was sent by telephone immedi-
ately in all directions to catch the slay-
er and the organization of the posses
followed.
Hollis went in the direction of Smyr-
ma River, which runs into the Delaware
Bay near Woodland Beach, and the
posses followed him closely At 8
o'clock last night it was believed that
he was surrounded in a cornfeld near
the head of the river but if such was
the case the negro eluded his pursuers.
Hollis owns a small boat, which he
moored in the neighborhood of Duck
Creek, a village one mile distant and
IL was reported late last night that he
had succeeded in reaching it and was
rowing down the stream for the bay.
The river is very circuitous and por-
tions of the posses are on the banks
watching and waiting with their guns.
They all know the negro, and If they
see him they declare they will shoot to
kill without asking questions.
It is possible that the desperate, who
is familiar with the country, is hiding
in a swamp. in which case he will prob
ably not be seen until daylight.
II was reported shortly before mid
night that Hollis was in the negro
quarter of Smyrna, and that two Of his
friends had a team ready to take him
away but an armed crowd failed to
verify the rumor.
Hollis is desperate character of
/ Smyrna, and has given the authorizes
much trouble. He is 20 years old.
Constable Wright is a Democratic
leader of Kent county and was re-
Gently reelected to the Office by the
Kent County Levy Court, which is Re
publican. He was removed to the hos
pital here early this morning.
The people are enraged because the
shooting occurred on the same spot
where three years ago Night Watch
man Herbert Haynes, of Clayton, was
shot and almost instantly killed by q
negro tramp. who was never captured
Detective Francis left this city this
morning for Smyrna where he will
take up the trail Of Hollis and make
every effort to track him to earth.
