Bribery.

The Every Evening in its edi-
tion of July 18th, made the follow
ing statement:
I'VE feel that if it were not for
bribery that the State of Delaware
would go Democratic"
What a statement to emanate
from the official organ of Della
ware Democracy. And we dare
say that it gives expression to the
most profound degree Of hypocrisy.
Has the intelligent editor of the
aforementioned sheet forgotten
that during the period of Demo
cratic rule, that the Democrats not
only bribed the vote by the use of
money, but used every possible
scheme to disfranchise the elector-
ate. Has he forgotten the steal of
Kent county by the Democrats
does he not remember the fact that
the Democrats used money the last
campaign for the purpose of brib-
cry; is he aware of a condition that
existed in the little town of Milford
when one of the leaders last cam
paign had in his hands $4,000 for
the purchase Of votes. These facts
alone, aside from the many others
that might be mentioned show evil
dence Of the weight of the above
quoted lines in which the Every
Evening speaks of bribery; and fur
ther, demonstrates that party with
the past history that accompanies
the Democratic party Of Delaware,
cannot preach to the people the

the Bryan code of party principles.
The Democratic party has not yet
found a new set of principles, and
perhaps it might make a master
stroke next year by simply declar-
ing that it is unalterably opposed
to the Republican party, that it
wants the offices, that it would like
TO have the tariff abolished, and
that its sole anxiety is to return to
national policies that would set the
nation back for fifty years. This
would be true, and the Democrats
plume themselves that they are

THE RELIGIONS OF RUSSIA.
There Are 40, $780, 900 Dissenters From
the Orthodox Church.

st. Petersburg Correspondence Philadelphia Press.
The announcement of the imperial decree
declaring religious liberation throughout
the Russian empire has aroused consider
able interest in the religious makeup Of
this nation. According to the latest avail
able statistics there are in Russia, in round
numbers. 90, $4,000 orthodox Greek Cath
olics II, $50, 600 Roman Catholics II, 100, 600
Mohammedans. 6.750,000 Protestants, 1885,
600 Jews, $4,000 United Church and Ar
menians and 100000 followers of other
faiths.
Contrary to the usual understanding of
the Russian situation, there has been no
law requiring conformity to the orthodox
belief, with the exception Of the restraints
laid on the Jews. The persecution that has
been leveled at the dissenters has been. as
a rule, the work of the local officials, al
though the holy synod has not been en-
tirely innocent in this regard. The affairs
Of the Roman Catholic Church are in
trusted to a collegium and those Of the
Lutheran Church to consistory, both set
tied at st. Petersburg. Roman Catholics
are most numerous in the former Polish
provinces, Lutherans in those Of the Baltic
and Mohammedans in eastern and southern
Russia, while the Jews are almost entirely
settled in the towns and larger villages
of the western and southwestern provinces.
In the orthodox church the car is the
supreme head, with power to appoint to
every Office in the church, and to transfer
and remove incumbents, limited only by
the right of the bishops and prelates to
propose candidates. Practically, however,
the procurator of the holy synod the eccle-
siastical bureau Of the government. has
usurped many of the cars powers in
church matters. The empire is divided into
Ave bishoprics, which, according to the last
published report. were under the metropoI-
tans. fourteen arohhishops and forty-eight
bishops. At that time there were 65,721
churches. with bSj102 priests, and 497 NOR
asteries and 26S nunneries, with S076
monks and S,942 nuns. The management
of church affairs is in the hands of sixty
s'consistoriae" The imperial budget for
1900 included %. $50. 6S5 rubles for the ex-
penses Of the holy synod.
