De ouinov's BirthpIace,

The house in Manchester where De
Quincy was born is about to be de-
mOlished, says the London Daily News.
1t is a curious circumstance that
memoirs of "the English opium eater"
have been unanimous in the arTestiOn
that he was horn at country house
kept by his father, called "Greenhay,"
abuot a mile from Manchester in what
was then a perfectly rustic neighbor-
hood. De Quincy, himself, however,
distinctly states that he was born i'm
a large town" but he adds. Il had
passed the whole of my childhood. ex-
cept for the few earliest weeks. in a
rural seclusion." This rural seclusion'
was 'Greenhay," a country mansion.
Manchester was absorbed the whole
district, and it is known as Greenhays,
derived apparently by extension OF tbs
name from its original application to
one notable mansion. Even DE Quinn
cey's tombstone in st. Cuthbert' s
lChurchyard. Edinburgh, perpetuates
the blunder. Part of the inscription
lis: Born at Greenhay, near Manches-
ter.T It is interesting to note that the
name Greenhay was invented by DE
lQuinceys mother, partly in recognition
of the vicinity Of hamlet called Green

of the old English word hay, mean
ing hedge or hedge-rOw (French
lhaie"). that the house was a country

ADIsGUsrING FARCE

For a man who has withdrawn from
the senatorial race. Addicks seems to
have a great deal to- say. It was a
farce from the beginning, and we knew
that between them Addicks and lay
ton would give it away. Two beauti-
full creatures to juggle with Delaware
affairs, are they not?
And they win continue to juggle, to
leer, to insult us with their clownish
and villainous antics as long as we will
permit it--no longer. Here is a man
who has done about everything in poll
tics that men should not, and who. ac-
cording to George Kennan, should be
sent somewhere--no to the Senate-is
made hero and compared TO Clayton,
Bayard and Gray. to their disadvan-
tage. Talk about character building.
it need be no slow and painful process
when there are pens like those Of Bach
and Roberts, and tongues like those of
Layton and Byrne.
But, now this patent process for
making character The mantle of Ed
ward falls upon the shoulders OF little
Frank. He grows in stature, the vision
of statesman appears, and. behold!
a man whom Addicks designates as
"the first citizen OF Delware" stands
before us. What transformation A
little jeweler who sells cheap rings and
Waterbury watches on consignment
whose knowledge of affairs ds CLEANED
from reading The local papers, amd
whose political horizon is coextensiv'
with his election district This man is
transformed into the foremost oiuzer
of Delawarel
Let IL be so. but It must not be for
gotten that the aforesaid foremost citi
zen cannot be elected to the United
States Senate by any gamblers trick
The battle against a great knave has
been fought too long to permit of yield
ing to other knayes. Addicks knows
that the decent members Of the Legis'
lature could never consent to the cleo
tion of Alice, and therefore he thinks
he is safe in suggesting his name. The
farce would be amusing were 1t not sc
disgusting.

An INroLERARLE ouTRAGn

John Edward Addiclxs. according
to a New York dispatch. spent all day
in court of that city yesterday fight
ing a suit for groceries and provisions,
furnished TO his yacht last summer
What shame to drag this senatorial
aspirant into court just because he will
not pay his bills. And who were the
persons pressing the suit? Mere vulgar
tradesmen, who seemed to care nothing
for the honor and dignity that is
supposed to attach to a senatorial as
pirant They insisted on having their
money, and went over all the disgust
ing items Of their bill. from mutton
chops to truffles. This same distin-
guished gentleman was recently sued
fer road taxes, notwithstanding he had
inconvenienced himself and put his po-
liticaa chances in jeopardy yhyremaining
out Of the jurisdiction 10 avoid service
OF the subpoena.
How disgusting it all isl Think OF a
conspiracy which seeks to hound a man
into paying his debts It is monstrous!
And. yet this man has been a great
benefactor of men. At the last cleo
tion according TO his friend. George
kennan. some eight thousand voters Of
Delaware were made richer by his gra-
tuities He has taken a number of our
citizens from the fields where they were
wont to toll amid sand-burs and sassa-
fras bushes. and put good clothes on
their backs. money in their pockets
and large aspirations in their hearts
He has made a peddler Of cheap jew
elry financial power. and now he may
be designated as "the first citizen OF
Delaware Many a stomach accustom-
ed TO hogs jowl and turnip greens by
his bounty has been fed ON patte fol
and store clothes have become common
in public from Brandywine to Nanti-
coke.
All this he has done and more. and
now our vulgar tradesmen demand that
he shall pay the bills he has contracted
that he shall go into his pockets for
road taxes-isn't It an outraged We're

Nor KIND TO MIR. RYRNE

The movement ON foot among half
dozen lawyers Of this city, which has
resulted in a petition being circulated
asking for the retention Of Mr.. Byrne
as United States District Attorney,
seems to us to be ill-advised. Among
the signatures are names of persons
who signed a petition favoring the ap-
pointment OF another gentleman
Doubtless should a third aspirant ente'
the lists they would find mo difficulty il
backing him.
There has been a lot of misconcep
tion and Misrepresentation over this
whole affair. There has been no dispo
sition ON the part Of Wilmington pa
pers to attack Mr. Byrne's personal in
tegrity or his ability but the charg
has been made, and it has been sus
tanned by the Judiciary CommitteC
that Mr.. Byrne's conduct as a politi
cian while holding this semi-judicia
Office interfered with his usclulnes,
and prevented that devotion TO th
Governments business which is r'
CURED
We do not think this can be denie'
and we do not think these petitioner
are really doing Mr.. Byrne a kindnel
by bringing the matter to the publ
notice again. The Evening Journal wi
