THE TRUE ISSUE IN DELAWARE.

] TIE NUE. lOoOE TN ELfAfNFEs
Under the leading "The True Issue
IN Delaware" the Philadelphia Press,
in discussing the Todd case, says:
HAD a similar case occurred IN Mas
eachusetts OF New York or Ohio o.
iowa Il would have attracted no atten
tion whatever without discussing
what ought or ought not to be the rule
the right OF the Postmaster-G General to
make a change In n fourth class office
is mdlsputable. Had he made such
change Oh the recommendation OF
Senator frcm Massachusetts or New
York OF Ohio or Iowa no one outside OF
thofo directly concerned would have
known OF thought or cared anything
about e. That would have been on the
assumption that nothing was involved
hey ord the mere matter OF illing the
place. But when q change is made In
Delaware IA the same way n storm Of
objection bursts forth.
That IS because the country feels
that the conditions OF Delaware are diff
ferent from those OF other States, and
that feeling is right. The real objec-
ton TO the action in the case Of Miss
Todd does not rest on the technical
points which have been urged, but on
the broad ground that Delaware stands
In a position which puts her outside OF
tho ordinary political code. The reia-
tion OF Senators to appointments is adj
visory. In most cases the advice may
well be accerted as controlling. But
the responsibility after all rests with
The appointing power, and Il presuma-
bly, recognizes the advisory relation
only VIXEN It ought to be recognized on
last public and political grounds. The
country feeis-and Republicans not less
than others--that the conditions in Del
aware are exceptional and ought TO be
treated as exceptional. But that ls a
question not so much for the Postmas-
General as for the President
There Is much truth in this conclu-
sion, coming as It probably does from
The ptn OF one who recently was Post
mnT General, it carries great weight
But we suggest that had this removed
occurred In Massachusetts, New Yorl
or Ohio with the attendent circum.
stances Il would have been no less ar
outrage, no less prostitution OF tn,
powers OF the Postmaster General. Mr.
Payne probably has the legal right tc
remove a fourth-class postmaster with.
out assigning his reasons, but II there
are charges, 1t is due the person against
whom they are made that they be in
vestigated. Furthermore the natural
rights OF individuals are not abridged
because OF their relations with the
government. and neither Mr.. Payne noi
any other person has "a right 10 manu-.
facture charges against an employe AZ
ter removal. and this Mr.. Payne seems
10 ,---o done.

SAVED SIX SAILORS
Some Of Mexicano's crew Found cling

Some Of Mexicano's Crew Found Cling
ing to Wreekage.
New York, Sept. 1s.-The steamer
Vidar, Captain Sorrenson. arrived
here from Caibarien. having on board
six Of the crew Of the British steamer
Mexicano, which foundered during a
gale on September 16. Captain Sor-
renson said:
Il was sitting in my cabin, when l
heard a cry. Thinking some one was
fooling on board the steamer, l went
out on the bridge to investigate. When
l reached the bridge 1 heard the cry
again. The sound seemed to come
from the ocean. but 1 could not see
any one. I ordered a boat to be got
ten ready, and when heard the cry a
third time I saw something in the wa
ter like a small log about half a mile
OF. With the aid of my glass found it
to be a small hatch, with a man in oil
skins stretched full length on 1t. i'm
mediately steered for the man and res
cued him: he was completely exhaust
ed and had to be hauled aboard the
boat He was unable to say a word,
and thinking there was no more as
could see no wreckage about, started
on my way. had proceeded about a
mile when I saw several objects In
the water. which I could not plainly
make out. Upon going closer found
five more men clinglng to pieces Of
wreckage. l had the boat lowered
again and picked up the castaways.
They, too, we're exhausted and one was
nearly crazy. Ny men had to hold him
in the lifeboat, for he was determined
to jump into the sea. There was an
other steamer some distance OF, and
] could see that they had a lifeboat
out, but l could not distinguish her
name"
One Of the survivors, August Ostcr-
lind, tells the following story;
about o'clock on September 16
we encountered a severe hurricane
blowing from the south. A heavy sea
swept the steamer from stem to stern,
carrying away the lifeboats and ven.
tilators, flooding the engine rooms and
putting out the fires. The steamer then
became unnanageable, and was soon
In the trough of the sea. She rolled
about for a little over an hour, when
she sank stern first. The men in the
forecastle we're called out and told to
be ready to save themselves the best
way possible when the steamer went
down. The boatswain refused to leave
his bunk, saying that II he had to die
he would rather die in his bunk than
in the sea. Two firemen refused tC
leave the stokeroom, preferring TO take
a chance on the steamer standing the
storm.
I'VE we're on the bridge with the
officers and jumped overheard just al
the steamer went down. Just before
Jumped I heard two pistol shots. ant
think some of the officers shot them
selves, preferring that kind of death tc
drowning. We drifted about for sew
eral hours. doing our best to keep to
gether but when daylight came there
were but seven of US together.
"The second mate was about ex
hausted. He took on his lifebuoy

Paines Celery Compound Makes and Keeps
the Children Well and Strong,
Mothers Make II the Home Medicine
For Che Llttle Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without their
prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, if we expect
them to ripen into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of i'll health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and witch
ings of limbs and muscles. They complain Of
headache, drowsiness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and indigestion. All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds of disease will have
fast and finn hold, unless proper measures
are taken TO restore a perfect condition of
health.
Thousands of wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vigor-
Gus by giving them natures medicine, Paine S
Celery Compound. In many severe and COM
plicated cases, Paine's Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.
If your dear ones are not as hearty, strong,
and rugged as they should be, try the health
