IN CONTEST
INTENSE DOWN State
Is Main Topic Of Converse
ton There-Local Schools
After Journal Piano

Interest in The Evening Journals piano
contest in lower Delaware is something
to be wondered at. in the lowor-eno
towns, people spend nine-oighths Of their
time in. n.talking about the piano, and Won
dering whether their favorite will be able
TO secure it, While The Evening Journal
is of course, unable to prophesy which
school is going to win out finally, 1t isI
willing to say that the one which puts
in the most persistent effort between now
and March 81 is going TO have fine $50
Hoppe plano.
The race is not always to the swift but
il any school can put sufeness and swift
ness together it is pretty apt to win out.
Down IN Brdgevllle for instance. feels
ing IS running high. Every travelling man
that goes into the town hears more about
pianos inside of his first fifteen minutes
stay than he ever expected to hear, or
ever will hear again--unless he goes on
down to Laurel
Both Brdgeville and Laurel are in the
race to stay. In the first place they want
pianos; then they have some town pride,
and the result is that both places are do
ing their level best to get the first piano.
and so prove to an admiring world that
they are the biggest and most energetic Of
al the down-State towns.
It may Just be possible, Of course, that
some other school may be able to make a
sudden squirt at the last moment, and Sc
cure one Of the pianos, but it would GER
tainly take a most tremendous jump, as
both Laurel and Bridgeville have about
half of their cards up their sleeves ready
to play two or three minutes before the
cock strikes eight, on the evening Of
March 81
1t has been a long and hard fight, and
the prospects are that the last week or
so of the race viii see some very strenu-
Gus efforts made by the partisans Of these
two schools
The people iR Laurel and Bridgevllle
say that # IL Is necessary they will get
every man, woman and child, not only in
their own towns, but also all over Sussex
county, to be regular subscribers of The
Evening journal. with the resulting votes
/ credited TO the one or the other.
II this happens, it VIII probably mean
that the two schools VIII have many a
race to see which one gets to SON. Nv
town first. When it is remember II
each new subscription, paid IN advance,
] AoI one year, means seven nunureQ votes
to one school or the other, II is no wonder
that the greatest eagerness should be dis
played in trying to open up a new terri
tory.
Both towns are getting a tremendous
lot Of advertising out of the contest, as
people as far away as New York are apt
to write and ask whether more help Is
needed to land one Of the pianos offered
by The Evening Journal.
The city schools are bracing up again
and school No. today rolls up nearly
eight hundred votes. Bridgeville and
Laurel both cast big punches Of votes to.
day. and with the jump made by the city
schools, the contest is booming in every
way.
There is a rumor floating around, in an
indefinite sort Of way. that Georgetown
is playing a foxy game. but will cast 20
900 votes on the last day, having secured
an even hundred subscriptions to count
IN the contest.

Without question blasphemers az this

Some Advantaae Of Mormonism.

From the New York World.
A double life, with a disagreeable
publicity always imminent, has its dis
advantages. A quintuple matrimonial
career such as that Of Apostle Smith,
countenanced and approved by his fell
low-citizens, may have its beneficial
uses.
Such a husband undoubtedly lives a
broader and fuller life than the mono-
gamous husband. Choosing a first
wife for her homely virtues, as did the
Vicar OF Wakefield he is prepared to
exact a qualification Of beauty I'm the
second, brains IN the third. vivacity
or other personal charm in the fourth.
and social accomplishments In the fifth.
BY a choice of wives Of different ma
tionallties he may improve his ac-
quaintance with modern languages In
matters OF architecture, his original
helpmeet might occupy a lowly thatch-
ed cottage, and her successors in turn
be provided with a Queen Anne villa,
an Elizabethan or Colonial mansion or
an italian palace. At the table Of one
the husband could obtain ''ples like
mother made" and at anothers the
most appetizing products Of the chefs
art. One parlor might have a mando-
lin to amuse him and another a me-
chanical piano player.
The educational and aesthetic advan-
tages Of constant association with a
plurality OF wives appear infinite. And
with a conscience set at rest by the
divine revelation" sanctioning 1t, the
Mormon's lot may seem to be a happy
one-for the husband

EDITORIAL OPINION
Saloon and church.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The results Of the church census in
New York We're interesting and fairly
satisfactory. If the showing was not
all that could be desired, it was better
than most persons would have expect
ed The statistics have now. however
been supplemented by a tragic showing
from London, where w. 4. Stead who
has genius for the picturesque, has
conducted a census Of church and sa-
loon attendance, selecting for the pur-
pose one Of the poorest sections of the
city.
out Of 10000 persons known to live
in Paddington, only 5000 men, 10000
women and 1000 children entered a
church on the Sunday Of the census.
This total Of $1,000 was even consider
ably better than the facts. for each en-
trance OF a church was counted, with
out regard to whether person attended
more than once But the same method
was adopted In the enumeration OF the
saloon attendants. and IL is probable
that there was much more repeating in
the case of the saloons than OF the
churches. Eighty-three thousand men
and boys went into saloons. ten times
the number that went 10 church, and
10000 more than is the whole number of
men and boys in the district-an indi-
cation of what the repeating must have
been. Among the women the figures
though smaller, are even more dis
heartening, for against the 10000 that
went to church $4,000 went into sa-
looms.

Fate.

Two shall be born the whole world
apart
And speak in different tongues, and
have no thought
Each OF the others being, and no heed !;
Yet these DER unknown seas TO un-
known lands
Shall cross, escaping wreck. defying
death,
And all mconsciously shape every act
And bend each wandering step unto
this end
That one day out Of darkness they
shall meet
And read life's message in each others
eyes.
And two shall some narrow way Of
life
SO closely side by side that should one
turn
Ever so little space to left or right
They needs must stand acknowledged
face 10 face;
Yet these, with cropping hands that
never clasp,
With wistful eyes that never meee, and
lips
Calling in vain on ears that never hear
Shall wander all their weary days un-
known,
And die unsatished. And this is Fate
Exchange.

THAT BoTKIN CASE.

The Morning News rushes very Gag
erly TO the defense OF the California
authorities in their conduct Of the case
Of Cordelia Botkin. We trust that its
enthusiastic praise may be justified,
but we may be pardoned FOR yet har-
boring our suspicious.
There Is no occasion. however, in It's
praise Of California methods to draw
invidious comparisons between that
State and Delaware, which it does
when it criticises our Legislature for
not making an appropriation to pay
the expenses OF the Delaware witnesses,
thus helping out the California people
in their finances. We think our Leg
lslature did right IN deciding that Cali
fornla should pay the expenses neces-
sary in the trial Of her own criminals.
But, putting that aside, there are
certain things that yet look peculiar.
The papers yesterday reported that
the California court has begun TO draw
a
same time they informed us that the
witnesses viii start for California on
Saturday At best they cannot arrive
under ten days from the opening of
the trial. Perhaps It takes a long time
to impanel a California jury. It is
possible, too. that the judge when the
jury is selected viii demand that the
trial proceed or that the prisoner be
acquitted.
The following extracts from Cali
fornla paper gives us. from source
that should be reliable view Of Mrs
Botkin's prison life. II its picture is
truthful, Delawareans need not hus-
ten to defense OF the California au-
thorities;
Mrs. Botkin leaves behind her five
OF the busiest years Of her life. She
leaves a CHEEKY little room, all sun
shine, pictures and flowers, snowy
linen on the bed, soft rugs on the floor,
china and silver on the little dining
table. She has had her tender bits of
beefsteak, she has had her books and
the concourse Of friends. There was
her garden to attend 10, flowers to
gather and arrange IN their vases. She
has had the preservation of her radiant
health to look to; she has had the care
Of her beauty and its protection against
the attacks Of Time. She has sewed :
made herself artistic garments out Of
silks and laces. She has written; suf-
fused sheets upon sheets Of blank pa
per- with thoughts and emotions indica-
tive OF every mood. All this so col
ored her prison. life that were il not for
the rasping consciousness thai her
volition was under paddock Of GER
tain authority that nations call gov
ernment or law. there was little in her
daily routine to remind her that she
was criminal and supposedly paying
the penalty OF an outrage against
morality and order

THE DRUNKEN VOTER.

A primary election bill was recently
before the Mississippi Senate. AS
passed by the House it contained a pro-
vision to the effect that person wis
ibly intoxicated" could not vote. The
Senate cut the provision out members
declaring that It is the duty Of every
man to vote. drunk or sober.
The Washington Post in discussing
this action says "the House was theo-
retically right but practically wrong"
II continues: Lawmakers must accept
existing conditions. must ies1siate FOR
that which is, not for that which they
think ought TO be-"
On the contrary the House was right
both theoretically and practically. No
man has a right to vote because he is
a human being, for were 1t otherwise
we should have TO accept the ballots Of
criminals. In theory the legislatures
are bound to protect the States by
eliminating from the electorate those
who cannot assist in reaching reason
able and honest verdicts. A visibly
drunken man should be excluded for
two reasons: he shows a lack OF re-
spect for himself and for the ballot, and
he is not in a condition to use a grain
OF intelligence in the performance OF
his act
Men exercise the franchise not for
themselves bnt as trustees 1t is
something put into their hands to be
used for the general good. It is not
theirs to abuse. to sell or to revenge
themselves. Free government based
upon the ballot box rests on no such
theory. But we agree with the Posts
remarks little further along in the
article. Il says;
In many Of the States. including
such old commonweaiths as Pennsyi-
vania and Delaware. the drunken voter
Objectionable as he always is, is
among the least OF many evils. Re-
formatory efforts should be addressed
TO the purchase Of votes, to repeating
and to prostitution of the suffrage by
fraudulent naturalization" All Of
which is true, but the point is whether
the drunken voter is an evil such al
should be eliminated by law, and W,
say he is.

Another Trick BY German.

From the Philadelphia Evening Bulle-

1t is asserted that German, whose
failure to rally his party in attacks
on the administration has so far been
pronounced, has been holding a con-
ference with Democratic Senators with
a view to securing united action IN put
ting forward the postofiice scandals as
an issue IN the campaign for the Pres
idency. According 10 this report the
Marylander hopes to score a point
against the Republicans by inspiring
series Of speeches demanding that

the postal department, but of the other
executive divisions OF the government.

ional Investigation.
This program might be effective II
the course Of the President with re-
spect to the disclosures already made
had been less resolute and efficient.
But in face Of the conviction of Ma
chen and the aggressive course Of the
administration In pushing prosecution
against indicted officials generally, its
chances Of success do not appear prom
