LAYroN,s MANIFESTO.

John Edward Addlcks has a rival in
the manifesto business. The new pro-
nunciamentoist is the Hon. c. r. lay
ton. Secretary Of state by the grace OF
John HUM. who was elected to office
by tho votes Of all Delaware Republic
cans. Here is tho ultimatum:
The duty Of the Union Republi-
can party IS to issue to the people
of tho State "A statement OF its po-
sition by Offering absolutely an
equitable Plan OF party union. free
from partisan advantage, based
only on the broad principles Of the
American Constitution. preserving
the rights Of the people. If this
attitude is rejected, then let the
Union Republican party refuse, IN
State, county or district 90 recog-
nize such an organization as the
'boltorH" for all time TO come. hav-
ing no communication or aniliatlon,
no conferences, nor anything that
IN any way gives recognition to it's
existence as a Republican organi-
zatlon.
We note that the idea Is to pre-
serve the rights OF tho people" which
we understand are to be conserved by
sending Addlcks 10 the senate. II this
Is refused by the "bolters" they are
forever to bo ignored. and there are to
be no consultations or conferences with
them. It is an awful threat, but we
have gotten used to them. someway
we are persuaded that even though we
ignore It, the sun viii still shine oc-
casionally, the birds win sing their
little songs and the "bolters" will go
serenely about their business out OF
Office perhaps, but with a oompensat-
ing aelf-respect
But how would it do for the ac-
cusod "boltors" 10 turn the tables by
saying that they have a belly full OF

but oensure for daliying with known

.RITCHIE Tells WHY He
LEFT BRITISH Cabinet
Fiercely Attacks Chamber
lain's Policy and Is Greeted
With Hoots and YelIs

London. Oct. 1O.-The mixed recep-
ton given to Mr.. Ritchie at Croydon
is regarded as an indication that Mr..
Chamberlain's scheme is taking hold
Of the country and is fiercely dividing
the Unionist party. Incidentally Mr..
Ritchie revealed that he was solely
responsible for the abolition of the
shilling duty on wheat. He said that
Mr.. Chamberlain proposed to retain
the duty and give the colonies prefer
ence. but the speaker, believing that
it was only the beginning Of a larger
scheme of protection. threatened to
resign if the duty was not forthwith
abolished.
Mr.. Ritchie strongly attacked the
Chamberlain policy and declared that
It would raise the cost of everything
He aroused the greatest opposition
from his audience and also from the
pro-Chamberlain journals by his ref
erences to the United States
He said: "The country must guard
against giving the United States any
cause for resentment against this
country, which would be the case il
their nelghbors, the Canadians, were
allowed to send their wheat into Eng
land at two or three shillings a quarter
less than America could. America
would certainly punish Canada"
This statement was met with erie.
Of mo; they exclude US now" ant
shouts Of "the Mckinley tariff" rub
bish" and nonsense" The genera
disturbance was such that Mr.. Ritchi'
was unable to continue until the chair
man had appealed for order.

SELECTING JURORS.

The Dover Index remarks that the
summoning Of a woman from West
Dover hundred to act as juror shows
that our present system Is not all that
could be desired. Last winter when
the jury commission bill was before
the Legislature Il was strenlpusly op-
posed by those who wanted the present
system OF selecting Jurors by the Levy
Courtmen continued and yet this in
stance where a woman was selected in
dlcates how much attention is given
to IL. The Levy Court Commissioner
in explanation. said that in looking
over the names on the assessment list
he found that Of person against
whom there was large assessment
and put the name IN the box without
further Inquiry. II turned out that Il
was that Of a woman.
Our juries ought to be selected with
the greatest care. Questions Of liberty
life and property are in their hands
and the law presumes that there shall
be some personal knowledge Of the
fitness Of those selected before their
names are placed In the box. TO make
property test Is not contemplated.
The responsibility Is too widely scat
tered. and ought to be placed IN the
hands OF two commissioners who could
be held accountable, The present sys-
TEN Is apt to result IN either careless
moss or the selection OF jurors for per-
sonal or political reasons,

The Trades League Of Philadelphia
has extended an invitation to tho Wa

business and commercial interests.

TIE SENSATIONAL RREss.

Ono Of the ministers Of tho New Cas-
tie Presbytery meeting the other day
made a fling at tho sensational news
papers," which requires some comment.
There are such papers, Of course. just
as thero are sensational preachers. but
the insinuation, nevertheless. is an ov-
idence Of a narrow view that is 20 be
regretted. The church has no strong
or. no more courageous ally than tho
press. without this force preaching
its sermons of morality and decent liv-
ing seven days in the week, the church
would md an intellectual and moral
degradation hard 70 overcome.
1t is true that there are sensational
newspapers. and it is also true that
the best newspapers print sensations.
But what OF IL? II there are startling
or remarkable happenings should not
the world know about them? There
are n few publications which appeal to
tho excitable or purient minded. but
these are occasional and obscure. A
newspaper is printed primarily to let
it's readers krow vent is happening
or course il it had in its hands the
shaping OF human conduct 1t would
not have any murders or suicides. II
would probably eliminate prize fights
and gambling dens. But IL these things
ara. why should it hesitate to tell the
world about them? With full knowl.
edge Of what is going on there is some
chance for reform. AID il not, we are
