lives. II DR.. Chandler was good enough
to nominate for Governor on August .,
he is good enough to support now.
The Addicks people don't want
Chandler and they don't want Knowles;
they would use any means TO poison the
public mind against either. AddIcks
has declared often that he would ruin
Knowles politically and yet we are cer-
tain that OF all the men who have
been considered for the congressional
Nomination Mr. Knowles is the best
htted for the place. He is active and
tireless and his acquaintance with the
leaders in Congress would enable him
TO be useful from the first day Of the
session. We feel that It is due our
readers to say that in our opinion Mr.
Knowles would be able to do a great
deal for Delaware.
Il Is for the Regular Republicans to
stand hrm in this crisis, and TO inn
press on a State Committee, unduly
eager for harmony-any kind Of har-
mony-that there is a price that the
people will refuse to pay.

To The votsr. Of Nsw castlo County.


Middletown, Del, Sept. Is. 1904.
Dear Sir:-It will be impossible for
me to see you personally and / there
fore take this means of informing you
that am candidate for county comp
troler. have been identified with the
Republican party for the last 30 years
and have always worked for its sue
cess. This is the first time l have ever
asked for a public ONCE.
The ONCE Of comptroller has always
been filed by an incumbent from the
country, and has been conceded as be-
longing to the rural district. The fact
that 1 am the only Republican candi-
date below New Castle or from the ru-
raj district asking for a place on the
county ticket, feel that my claim Is a
just one. While 1 concede Wilmington
and vicinity the major portion of the
patronage, do feel that rural New
Castle should be represented and that
an equal distribution of the offices will
certainly tend to stimulate enthusiasm
and add materially in electing the
whole ticket.
I trust you win concede the point well
taken. and I solicit your aid in assist
Ing me In gaining the nomination by
your vote at the primary election,
Saturday, September "a. and that you
viii use your influence with your
friends to do likewise. Should / be
nominated and elected 1 shall discharge
the duties OF the once. strictly in ac-
cordance with the laws and to the best
Of my ability.
Thanking you in advance for what
ever you may do for me, l remain.
Yours truly,
Joseph G. Parker.

SENATOR EAIRnANks HERE.

G ENAToR FAIRBANKS at the Opera
~ House last night gave an enter
tanning and instructive address on the
principles underlying Republicanism.
He confined his remarks 10 national
issues, and all that he said is as appli-
cable to Republicans OF California as
to the Republicans Of Delaware. The
address marks him as man OF
breadth and OF sound and conserva-
tive tendencies
It is regretahie that the circum-
stances attending the meeting should
have been such as to discourage the
Attendance of many OF our leading Re
publicans. Many OF them who were
named as vice. presidents OF the meet
ing contented themselves with seats In
the audience. prefering this to as
sociation with the party -wrecxers who
in large numbers thronged the stage
and basked for a time in the light that
beat about a Presidential candi-
date.
We doubt whether a vote has been
made by the visit of Senator Fair
banks. not because he is not respected
by ALL and not because he failed in
convincing argument but for the rea-
son that while he was thinking of ma
tion policies and expounding them, a
lot Of little political shysters were en-
joying the glory reflected from him
and the decent Republicans knew IT,
1t is a pity that Mr.. Fairbanks could
not have been welcomed to Delaware
under different auspices.

A SACRIFICE FOR EDUCATION.

VATE ARE informed that the public
w schools OF one 81 the prosperous
and populous towns Of Sussex. win be
open but seven months during the COM
ing school year. We are told further
that last year one frail woman taught
90 children for the munlfcent salary Of
$50 per month.
What sort OF results DO these people
expect from that sort OF treatment Of
the great and pressing problem OF pub
lie education? In these days OF pro-
gress and hustle thorough training in
the rudiments of education, at least is
imperative. And yet for five months the
children Of that town are roaming the
streets and acquiring shiftless and in-
dolent hablts-probably acquiring a
distaste for their books.
And what sort OF work can be ex-
pected Of teacher who has the daily
burden Of discipllnine nearly hundred
pupils and trying to interest them and
to beat something into their brains.
Then she gets s21O for her years work.
Surely in the interests Of economy they
should dock her for holidays. Thirty
dollars month-thlrty-t cents for
each pupil-s2.s1 for the year! What
extravagance for a cause so unimport-
liant as educationl

EDITORIAL OPINION
Honest Corporations Not Feared.

From the Boston Transcript.
The great corporations OF the country
have learned a lesson from the admin
istration OF President Roosevelt. They
have come 10 understand that, aggres-
sive as he may be, he has no wish 10
interfere with the legal and proper
conduct Of business. From his election
the combinations of capital which are
willing to obey the laws have nothing
to fear. They have learned, also that
the people OF the country have conf
dence IN the President and his policy,
and that It Is as unwise for the corr
porations to run amuck as II would be
for the administration to do the same
thing.

coNsIsrENcY.

THE Democratic editors have spent a
4 great deal Of time recently In
reading the various works Of Theodore
Roosevelt, and 1t is not remarkable that
they have found passages which do not
harmonlze with the Presidents views.
II the devil can cite Scripture for his
purpose" it is not remarkable that crit
les seeking to damage man can find
something in his writings to twist to
his disadvantage.
The life of Benton has been raked
over with the result that II is found
that the young author made light Of
the policy Of protection in one para
graph. This is not remarkable, but the
critics seem to allow nothing for the
comparative youth Of the author, and
cannot imagine that with years and
experience a man may revise many
an immature opinion.
Every man Of force and character has
growth; he illustrates the law of evolu-
tlon. TO always be right is impossible,
while to put consistency ahead OF the
absolute conviction OF the moment is
to play the part Of coward. Nearly
all OF pur great statesmen have shown
a tendency to modify the opinions Of
their youth. Lincoln, Grant and Nc
Kiniey all made evident the fact that
they we're big enough to modify the
views they held the day before; and
Roosevelt has Illustrated the same ten
deney. n n--l

One of the most amusing things Of

entitled The Goose and Her Golden
Eggs. Another clever conceit is Fool
ing Red Eye Gulch, by William Hamil-
ton Osborne. The story smacks a lit
tie OF Bret Harte. An Unfinished We

NOT GREENAS HE LOOKS
William Cooper, a Negro, Makes Sue
cess as Forger.

William Cooper, colOred, is renarka
BILE person. He has demonstrated this by
successfully fim-fiaming a prominent
business man four days after being re-
leased from the county jail, where he
served term of ninety-nine days for for
gerry.
Cooper, who is an ignorant looking ne
gro, approached the Forbes real estate
office with draft for $400 on an Indepen-
dence saving bank. He said that he was
just a poor ignorant niger and didn' t
know how to write or read, but that pa
per what the bank gave him to show
would they loan him a little and hold that
till he could raise the money and pay
them back?
The talk was good. The young lady
stenographer in the Forbes office was
awfully sorry for the poor man, particu-
larly when he stated that his ladylove
had just "ariv'' in town and he wanted
to 'mahwy" her and needed a little mon
ey for license and other sundries- On
his talk and bogus sight draft he raised
$3.50 and went his way rejoicing. He is
still rejoicing, but the holders of the
forgery that it does not require the as
sistanee of an expert to discover it.
while he was serving his period in Jail.
He left two drafts, one for thousand,
and one $780, with Mrs. Enochs, an old
Her son is in Jail on a. charge of man
slaughter, having killed another negro in
that he would give her 500 to help pay
the lawyers for defending her son. On
the strength of this promise Mrs. Enochs
felt good toward him and fed him heavily
on spring chicken and other dainties
while he was incarcerated. But alas,
when he got out he took the drafts he
had left with her and said he would cash
them, and she never saw him more. He
failed to pay any attorney fees to the
lawyer, who defended him and had his
punishment lightened after he had passed
a bogus check on jewNer. In the city
court he was fined 81 and the costs,
amounting to S97.S5.
When Cooper was released from the
county jail December Is Jai1er Carl Law
son took him over to the city jail and ex-
hibited him to theh police. This man is
a forger, and bad egg said Lawson,
"and l want you to take a good look at
him. He will be in more devilment be-
fore long, and you should know him by
sight. He looks like a d-m fool, but he
isn't.
The officers took a look at him and dis
missed him from their minds.
On August "A Cooper passed a bad
check on Sam Friedberg, jeweler. He left
town at once, but Sheriff Lucas got after
him. and after chase, caught him in
kingfisher, Ok, September Z.
Cooper is a smooth one and uses his
seeming ignorance and foolish appearance
to good advantage. His forgerieS are not
smoothly executed. but he makes them
win.

at high tide. Everything seems to show
that it is aground.
THE protected cruiser Pallada lies
100 meters east by north of the Pobieda.
Its stern is towards the southwest, half
south, and it is listed five degrees to
port. At high tide the condition of it's
decks is about the same as that of the
decks of the Peresvet. 1t is doubtless
aground.
80 The armored cruiser Bayan lies 400
meters south-southwest, half west, of
the harbor entrance, with its bow tow
ards east-northeast, half east. It has
nsted Is degrees and appears to be
The above mentioned four battle
ships and two cruisers have been aban-
doned and no boats are seen near
them.'"
1t is probable that Admiral Togo will
soon return to Japan, leaving Il Junior
admiral to conduct the final operations
and to continue the blockade. It is ex-
pected that Togo viii be summoned by
the emperor to Toxic where he will be
given splendid public receptions.
Admiral Togo's campaign of ten
months is considered equal to any in the
history of naval warfare. He has la
bored constantly under the necessity of
preserving the vessels OF his fleet for
service against the Russian second Pa
cific squadron. The admiral and his
men have stood storm, stress and ex-
posure excellently. The men are in
good health and exultant.
Although accustomed to hearing of
acts of bravery on the part of their
soldiers and sailors, the people of
Japan have been thrilled by the de-
tails of the series of desperate tor
pedo attacks against the Russian bat
tIeship Sevastopol and other craft
driven outside the harbor of Port Ar
thur by the fire of the Japanese land
batteries.
Commander Yezoe and Lieutenant
NakahaFa are the heroes of these at
tacks, and the former promises to
gain equal prominence with Comman-
der Hirose (March &27 blown to frag-
ments in Vice Admiral Togo's second
attempt to bottle up Port Arthur) in
the war traditions of Japan.
Commander Yezoe's ffotilla of tor
pedo boats was undergoing repairs
when the attacks were planned, but
he succeeded in putting one of his ves-
sells into condition for a fight. On this
vessel he steamed to the rendezvous
and finding that the other fotilla had
to join in the attacks Then he
steamed through the snow storm alone
and succeeded in locating the Sevas-
topol, to which he was able to get
close enough to hear the Russians
Yezoe fired a torpedo and then
went closer and fired a second tor
pedo, when a shell from the SevastopoI
struck him in the abdomen, cutting
his body in two.
Portions of Commander Yezoe's
body We're saved and brought back to
the feet. They will probably come to
Japan for public interment, as was
done with portions of the remains of
Commander Hirose.
Lieut.. Nakahara went to the rescue
of the disabled torpedo boat. which
had been under the command of
Lieut.. Nakahorf, who with five others
was killed, and submitted to a deadly
fire. Nakahara's boat was hit repeat
edIy. but he succeeded in rescuing a
majority of the crew of Nakahori's
boat.
More of Admiral Togos men volun-
teered for participation in the attacks
than could be assigned.

HIS WORK DONE.
Togo Reports Entire Port Arthur
Fleet Unfit for War.

Toxic, Dec. 2O.-Vice Admiral Togo
has sent in an official report saying
that the entire Russian Port Arthur
fleet is now unfit for war. The admiral
says:
There is no room left to doubt that
the enemy's ships in the harbor of
Port Arthur are totally unfit for ser
vice 1 have reason to believe that the
battlship Sevastopol has been disabled
by our attacks, but no definite data on
which to pass final Judgment have yet
been obtained and investigations are
being conducted in all available quar-
ters.
''It is certain that at least six Rus
sian torpedo boat destroyers remain
the naval brigade landed at Port Ar

Tail peninsula with its bow turned
northeast, half north, and at high tide

half east, and at high tide it is sub
merged to its afterdeck. It is doubt
lessly aground and does not list.
"' The battleship Retvizan lies 100

worse than that of the Poltava. 1t is

afterdeck is constantly submerged.
