PROSPERITY,
AS Observed by Secre-
tarY Shaw.

Wilmington, Del, June 6.-The first
mass meeting of the presidential Re
publican campaign in the country was
held this evening in the Grand opera
house here under the auspices Of the
Roosevelt Workingmen's club, an or
ganizatioh composed of over 1000
members from the Republican and
Democratic ranks who desire the re-
election of President Roosevelt The
principal speaker was the secretary of
the treasury, Leslie M. Shaw.
Secretary Shaw, supposing that the
Democrats arguments in the campaign
would be along the line Of low wages
and high prices for food devoted the
greater part of his speech to point
ing out the prosperity of the country
and how under the present government
system wages had increased far above
the cost of living.

TERRIBLE TEDDY
viii Stand by Cortelyou's
Selection.

When the politicians marked Hayes
and Harrison for the one-term block
they accomplished their purpose with
out any trouble. Neither of these men
were of a scrappy character. The fell
lows who decided that Roosevelt
should retire with one term did not
take the right measure of the man.
They did not get his geographical out
lines.
The selection of George B. Cortelyou
as national Republican chairman has
stirred up some opposluon among a
class Of fellows who always want to
dictate appointments whether they
have any personal interest or not.
Senator Kean is one of this class.

Tne delay in the selection of this i'm

not get one until after the convention.

mortgage the fair ground to secure that
amount, In order TO pay off the claims

claims are held by the local banks
and In reality the members of the So

are of more recnt contraction.

CONTINUOUS CLASHING.
Toxic, June 6.-During the last four
days there has been continuous clash
ing between the Japanese cavalry at
tached to General Kurok's column and
the Cossacks who are operating south
of the Russian position at Lao Yang.
Both sides have suffered minor casual
ties but there has been no disposi-
tion on the part Of any of the COM
manding officers to take action which
might bring about a general engage
ment Honors are apparently even
so far as either side is concerned, as
in none of the skirmishes has many
been killed.
However the activity on the part of
the Russian cavalry is believed here
to indicate that General Kuropatkin
will give battle at Lao Yang but that
he desires to keep the Japanese from
advancing until he has fully completed
his preparations.
The censorship on news from the
front is rigid and 1t is impossible to
learn what General Kuroki's main
column is doing.

ALL BLAckMAlLERS
Should be Defied and Denounced When
First Demand is Made.


First Demand is Made.
The story told by the octogenarian
John r. Plat in his suit to recover
about three quarters of million given
during the past six years to colored
adventures is at once revolving and
pathetic.
1t demonstrates the absolute faatuity
of paltering with any blackmailer,
male or female, who threatens one
with exposure of any violation, real or
imaginary, of the social, commercial or
moral law.
The only thing to do when approach
ed by blackmalling harpy is to smite
the unclean thing instantly-and hard
Sometimes an innocent person is cum
ningly trapped into an apparently COM
promising action or situation, and un-
der threats of xposure-fearing mis-
representation and scandals foolish
enough to give hush money" in some
form to the conspirators.
From the moment the victim-wheth-
er innocent or guilty-makes a fancied
purchase of immunity he or she is
doomed. The fact that any concession
was made would raise a suspicion of
guilt, and, calculating upon this, the
blackmailer makes renewed demands,
and every succeeding concession sipks
the victim deeper into the quicksand.
Life becomes ceaseless torture. In
his complaint Mr.. Platt, q man S4
years old, swears that after his friend
ship with the woman began, six years
ago, she threatened to accuse him to
his family, his friends and the public,
threats, he says continued from time
to time, and, "being an old man and
in feeble health, and having great
fear of exposure and scandal, and be-
Ing in great fear of bodily HARM" he
went on making payments.
One can readily understand that he
wos recently prepared to commit sui
eide rather than have his dealings with
this woman exposed. He Is to be COM
mended at least for courage In now
voluntarily making clean breast of 1t
and exposing creature who, If his
story is legally verified, must be con-
demned as one of the most dangerous
harpies that ever played upon society.
If he had summoned up equal courage
to resist the first demand his defiance
might have saved him from years Of
torture, averted the present scandal
from his family and saved the life of
an eminent citizen who, being mistaken
for Mr.. Plat, was murdered by a
crazed negro who HAD been in this wo-
mans encourage.
1t all goes to enforce the lesson that
the one thing to do with the blackmail-
er is to seize him or her by the throat
the first threat of scandal, the first at
tempt to levy toll. This is the only
course to pursue, whether the threaten
ed exposure is based on mere -coinci-
dences or upon something that really
involves scandal. In the latter case
nothing is more certain than that the
payment Of blackmail Will only insure
its ultimate publication, whereas by de-
flying and denouncing the creature at
the outset the person approached will
probably secure personal immunity,
and by helping to suppress this in
famous trade will confer certain benz
eft upon the community.
