Farewell Byrnc.

From THE Middletown Transcript.
It is probable that Mr.. Byrne would
like to believe that his resignation IS due
TO PERSONAL reasons and 10 his announced
intention Of leaving the State. But it Is
more probable that he found that sub
eervieLcy TO Addicks which is demanded
OF all his followers, to be irlxsome. Ills at
tempted revolt over the attack made on
the judiciary was met with the statement
from headquarters, that he talked too
much. Like many other men who have
changed front or gone over to tho enemy
he has not found the bed or the company
pleasant.
For Mr.. Byrne personally we have thS
highest regard and feel proud to claim
him as a friend. None win regret his de-
parture from Delaware more. But for Mt
Byrne as the one man responsible for the
election Of Henry A. Houston as "a Demo
cratic Congressman from this State, ws
have feelings Of an entirely different char
acter. We regretted his step at the time
and regret Il now. We said that he would
regret and we feel sure he does.

srARr oYER AGAIN.

We ~re pleased that the United
States Sand Filtration Company has
gone into court asking 100000 from
the city as damages. II means that
all Of tn particulars of their alleged
CONTRACT will come to light, and that
public monies will not be paid out
until the status OF the parties at in
terest is determined. The alleged con-
tract contemplated an immense ex-
penditure. and there have been myster-
les at every stage. At first we were
informed that the new plant would
cost 100000. but recently the estimate
has grown until Il promises to cost
more than twice that sum.
The Water Commission has done all
in it's power TO defend the contract and
10 make the path OF the sand filtration
company pleasant; but now that there
is contest in the courts, probably
there win be change. II there was
ewer a piece OF bungling this Is IT,
There is but one course TO pursue now
that there is a contest IN the courts:
defend the city. and begin anew the in
quiries necessary in order 10 make the

engineers win be given a chance and

particulars.
