have been one thing or the other. and
it is TO the credit Of the true sons Of
the Blue Hens Chickens that they
didn't loaf through a crisis.
At present there is an armistice, and
Of course its obligations win be OBJ
served, but it is wen to keep in the
back part OF our minds that when this
armistice shall expire, IL it be neces-
lsary to renew the battle along the old
lines these who have the stature OF
men viii pull OF their coats and go
at it again.
In our late Civil War there were
Unions. Confederatcs and camp-fol-
lowers. The camp followers were not
troubled with convictions; they SUBJ
sisted on whatever was thrown TO
them and found rich p.ckings on the
fields where brave men had contanded.
When the war was over many Of these
were prompt to apply for pensions.
while the real soldiers application
might be- side-tracked
The meaning may be gathered from
this illustration when we say that Un-
ion and Confederate have come TO a
point where they can be friends, but
both hold in contempt and loathng the
Imam who skulSed IN the rear and now
takes the credit OF having brought
labout peace. IL man can square I'M
ion Republioanism with his judgment
and his conscience he had better be
Union Republican than sneak.
Here is another little illustration; a
man belongs TO a certain religious sect
and has taken a prominent part in its
observances: when ne meets Roman
lists he processes a profound reverence
for the ancient church when with
Methodists his ideal is the earnest ag-
gressive John Wesley; and when ia a
mixed company he claims never TO
have had any religious convictions.
Possibly the last is the truth but since
he has forfeited respect nobody Will
believe him.
Another thought and we are done.
John Edward Addiclzs has been kept
out Of the Senate and will never secure
the coveted honor. Most people are
glad; even a great many Union Repub-
leans are pleased. Now it has been a
long, hard battle. and many close calls.
but il has been accomplished. And
how? BY valiant, persistent warfare.
Are these non-factionists pleased or
dlspleased? Had they rather have Ad-
dicks in the Senate or out of it2 II
they would have him IN, then they
should thank the Union Republicans
for their efforts. If out then they
should pay tribute TO the men who
kept him out most Of them asking no
other reward than TO be successful

PathoIoaieaI View Of BrIbery

From tho BOSTON Herald.
Governor Garvin, of Rhode Island. has
not much confidence in the deterrent ef-
feet Of laws against corrupt practices,be-
cause in the present degradation Of pub
lie sentiment on the subject such laws
are easily evaded as are laws regarding
taxation of personl property The laws OF
our States against corrupt practices are
not enforced as similar laws are in Great
Britain. Being a physician, he gives what
we may call a pathological view of the
disease OF bribery: "The underlying
cause Of bribery IN elections is that the
vote is worth very much less to It's right
ful owner than it is 90 the candidate.
Now IL this condition could be reversed,
SO that the possessor Of the ballot should
esteem it almost priceless, and the candi-
date find that to him purchased vote
was OF little use, then bribery would
cease"

HERE is a sentence which we take
4 4 from political article in the
Sunday star;
"The ordinary Republican Of VIII
mington curses the factions and is
anxious to vote for the man who has
never been Identified with either or
any of the factions"
Now if the time has come for the
elimination Of factional strife, if there
is no longer any reason for hostility
of one set of men towards another,
then he who would seek to perpetuate
party strife and chickering's would be
an enemy to his party. The Evening
Journal has been disposed recently TO
allow the factions TO settle their diff
ferences without suggestion advice.
but we do not propose to see bitter
factionists and opportunists pose as
the advocates of sweetness and light at
the expense Of the brave men who
have fought a mems battle

THE story Of Castro the Dictator.

which is badly needed by portion Of
the press which assumes that Ven
ezuela is governed pretty much as an
civilized countries are governed.
This human document was pre-
pared by an ex-diplomat who is famil-
lar with Venezuelan affairs from res
ldence in that country and his story
bears all the earmarzs Of an authentic
tale. Castro. Il seems. is nothing more
nor less than a vain, unprincipled ad-
venturer who has changed the consti-
tuition q number Of times, owns leg
lslature SO servile that there is no OPP
position. never vote against one Of
his measures. His courts are of the
same order. a compound of ignorance
and venality. willing to issue any de-
cree that may be desired by the die
tator and to reverse that decree at a
sign from him.
AS am example Of his dlctatorial
power in 1904 he directed his congress
to name him constitutional president
for six years. and it was done without
la dissenting vote. This shows the ease
with which constitutions are made and
changed IN Venezuela; and these con-
stitutious when we can locate them.
some American newspapers would
have us respect as our own. Castro's
opinion Of the constitution Is contained
In the following "The constitution is
like women. made to be trampled
upon." Yet Notwithstanding Castros
view, there are Americans who seem
to hold that constitution in the greatest
regard.
Within a few years the Dictator has
accumulated a fortune that embraces
great part Of the wealth Of vene-
zuela. What he has not secured by
theft he seems 70 have secured by

Of raising revenue seems TO be grant
important concessions 20 syndicates,
and then to connscate an their prop
erty and property rights
While there is no particular tender
mess ia this country on the part OF a
majority of the people towards the as
phait company yet It seems that Cas-
tro is really attempting TO deprive hat
concern Of a concession fairly granted,
under terms not open to bubble. and
for a consideration tliat Venezuela has
received.

has a supreme court to back him up

a fortune by operating a plant under a
CONCESSION that does not belong 70 him.
Another American company had a
concession giving It the exclusive priv
ilege Of navigating the Orinoco river,
such a concession should not have
been granted, perhaps. but the Amer
lean company paid well for IT, But
suddenly without reason the franchise
was annulied and Castro turned It over
to one OF his favorites.
Now under these circumstances there
are persons In this country who seen
inclined to hold that anything which

cepted BY Americans at face value
