A sTATEsMAN,s ESTIMATE.

John 4. Dickey went over to New
York yesterday and formally launched
the Gray boom. We are not critical
enough to question the fitness OF Mr..
Dickey to act as sponsors indeed. he
gives evidence OF qualities which sug-
gest leadership; and we suggest that
II the Democratic party is looking for a
chairman who has Imagination and
initiative the merits OF Mr. DiclSey
should not be overlooked.
For he does not connne himself to
the problem of securing the nomina-
tion Of Judge Gray. He looks beyond
that TO the real battle-the battle at
the polls. He figures out that il the
Democrats can get about 100000 more
votes than they got four years ago, and
these are secured in the sections where
they win do the most good Judge Gray
can be elected.
In his interview he is kind enough
to inform an expectant public just

Connecticut 10000 Delaware. 1000,

In other words. there must be a
tacit agreement that the Republicans
will make no effort at gains in other
States; neither must they offset the
efforts Of the Democrats to secure
votes in the States named; and. be-
hold! Democratic victory is assured
To work a revolution IN eight states is
task that would stagger the ordinary
man. but Mr. Dickey is familiar with
methods which if adopted generally
and worked out might prove effective.

AFRAID OF THE LIGHT.

And now Council has discovered that
under the rules Of that august body,
the appointment Of committee the
other night to Investigate the work Of
the Board OF Revision and Appeals was
Irregular and void. This discovery has
greatly encouraged those Democratic
and autocratic members who hold that
the matter Of assessments Is their own
prerogative. and that to question any
thing they may do Is an interference
with their vested rights.
But there is ny IN the ointment.
For whether or not the committee was
legally formed. there is nothing to pre-
vent It from making a fun investiga-
ton and publishing its findings. 1t has
tho same rights as an Individual to 90
over the books and to set down the in
teresting matters they reveal. We un.
derstand that this committee isn't
spending much time in inqulrlng into
tne legality OF It's formation. but thai
it is setting ready to do business.
But Il occurs to us that IL the work
Of the Board OF Revision and Appeals
was ideal; il it was so perfect that
even the suspicion Of error was avoid
ed. the members should welcome an
investigation, Tor Virtue and capacity

lefty How does Il happen, then, that
Mr. Kane and his friends have strlven
to exclude the searching rays OF a

that they fear the public viii get hold

Why Do Mon Not Go To church.
From The washIngton Post.


our esteemed New York sun pro-
pounded this query one day last week,
and then proceeded to answer it by
saying that men no longer take an in
terest In religion or in the manner in
which It is proclaimed from the pulpit.
The Suns proposition was that SER
mons have become too academic. and
the inference suggested was that edu-
Gated men who think for themselves
find the average preacher uninstruct-
i've II not actually tiresome. From all
Of this our New York contemporary
drew the conclusion that in order to
attract men to church. the clergy
would have to return TO the old-fash-
Toned religion Of the Bible. and to ex-
plot Il with the simple fervor OF con-
victiOn. Serious and enlightened men
are not concerned in the merely doc
trinal exposltions which occupy so
much of the preachers time and en-
ergy, and, indeed, when II comes to
that, they consider their own opinions
quite as authoritative as any they OBJ
tain from ministers Of the Gospel. The
sun believes that men can be induced
the return to the church whenever the
sermons are devoted to an exposition
Of pure Bible religion and informed
with simple faith in the essential prin-
ciples OF Christianity.

He Stopped the Train.

Chief Back the other day illustrated
the majesty that surrounds his official
head and incidentally won the gratitude
Of a scribe. A street car was vending its
leislrely way towards the b. & o. sta
tion, and the scribe had to catch the train
that was then due. The motorman was
dreaming Of green pastures for the car
was going at a pace that required no FEM
der for public protection. The scribe told
the chief his predicament. Then the Of
fetal said a few words to the conductor:
the conductor spoke TO the motorman. and
that car began to slide down the avenue
AXE the car on the scenic railway at
Brandywine Springs. The train was In.
and m his cab over the bridge the en-
gineer looked down at the racing car and
smiled. Then the chief stepped on the
runn;ng-board and motioned; he held
his hand palm downward and the engineer
nodded and smiled. Then the scribe shot
up the steps four at a time and swung
aboard, hearing the conductor remark,
I'VE only wait for two things: the press
and the police"

THE REASONS.

party by aiding In the overthrow OF

The Sentinel didn't guess the reason:
therefore. patiently we set about the
task Of instructing tia task so dis
couragingly barren or fruit to the pres

~ tho first place. the papers Of Will

favorable to Judge Gray is a matter Of
news that is interesting to great

complexions. OF course there are sub

In conformity Herewith. which do moi
concern themselves with matters o
general interest These are not news
papers, but political posters. But tn
newspapers Of Wilmington publish M
items concerning Judge cray's oahdi

Then these Republican papers pub
