He is Selling Spirits Straight.

one OF the best known statesmen on
the Delaware Peninsula was associated
with "a leading patent medicine firm
for many years and his visits through
out the state were so frequent that
many persons. the hotel-keepers in
particular. became well acquainted with
him. Recently. however, his visits
ceased and then il was learned that
he was In another line Of business.
This week. the salesman reappeared
at Seaford and greeted many of his
friends at the hotel in that town. One
friend especially was anxious TO know
his present avocation.
why, hello, Smith," said the Sea-
ford man. Are yau again selling
patent medicines?"
NO" replied the travelling man, Il
am selling alcohol straight nowadays" 4"
He then explained that ne was with a
whiskey firm and was dispensing spirits
under their right name.
The joke was on the interrogation and
he settled the bill when the group ad-
journed TO the barroom of the hostelry.

LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE
Party Harmony.


Editor The Evening Journal
Some weeks ago there was a desire eX-
pressed for the Regular Republican Com
mittee TO meet, and appoint committee
to meet a similar committee to be APP
pointed by the Union Republican state
Committee that harmony in the party
might be brought about.
The action i'm appointing the committee
struck ap roper chord with all true Re
publicans throughout the State. There has
been no action by these committees to
make even the first move in the direction
Of party harmony. 1t appears now that
the object in having the two parties ap-
point a committee on harmony was not
a simon-pure desire for party harmony
including all the Republicans of each
county Of the State. but rather a basis
upon which some OF the leaders of the
Union Republican pagty could work upon
the Republicans of Kent and Sussex to
agree among themselves upon a basis Of
party unity on county lines.
Thus we hear much desire expressed for
the getting together of the party in Sus-
sex by common primaries. but while all
true Republicans desire party unity, the
sentiment is not so alive for action since
Il has developed that it was not the in
tention to include all the counties in the
State by any action by the State Com
mittee or to finish up the unfinished busi-
ness Of the party by the election OF "A
United States Senator before any new
business other than party unity should
be taken w.
As much as party unity Is desired, mol
much will be done in Sussex toward that
end until that matter is settled. which
can be accomplished II there is an honest
desire for harmony on the part of Union
Republican leaders.

SATURDAY. NOVEMBER IS. 1905.
NE IS TOO cREDULoUs.

~ HE editor OF the Milford Chronicle
i seems somewhat perturbed at the
recent newspaper stories regarding the
attitude Of the Insurance Commission
er In the matter OF nominating a SEN
ator from the Fifth district Of Kent
county. Its evident bad humor sug-
rests that the editor has more than
merely the interest Of a newspaper man
in the matter.
It seems TO us proper to remark that
as DR.. Marshall holds public Office
and that as he Is chairman of the Union
Republican Committee Of Kent county,
his acts are the legitimate subject Of
review. and that anybody has full
right to inquire whether his influence
is for a particular candidate.
Last Monday there appeared In the
Philadelphia Public Ledger a story TO
the effect that Or. Marshall publicly
promised Addicks to support Senator
Conner for denomination. We took
pains to inquire into the particulars Of
the matter and have been assured by
a number OF reputable men, including
one member OF the Legislature, that
Or Marshall made that promise.
The Chronicle Indirectly denies IL.
but the only denial that would carry
weight would come from DR. Marshall
himself. From our sources Of informa-
ton, in the absence Of a specific denial
from Dr. Marshall we give fun credit
TO the story that he promised Addlcks
20 support Conner.
The Evening ournal Is charged with
n disposition to smoke OUT Dr. Mar
shall whyg Where is he that he must
be smoked out? Is he in hiding? Is
It improper to ask that public man
shall let people know where he stands?
Does the Chronicle desire that anybody
shall be deceived in the end? And that
is what must happen II one set Of peo-
pie continue to regard Dr. Marshalls
support as pledged to Conner. while
others believe it is pledged to another,
possibly Townsend.
II it wanted the exact truth Of this
afiair and was satisfied with only the
best evidence. We think the Chronicle
would nnd that It had been imposed
upon. But we. are satisfied II the edl-
tor OF the Chronicle is.

creamer Makes statement.

Philadelphia, Nov. 1S.-President r.
B. Creamer, of the Tri-S State League,
last night made the following state
ment in reference to published reports
that his organization had applied to
the National Commission for protec-
ton
. "The Tri-State League has not ap-
piled to the National Baseball Commits
sion for protection and for the present
at least. has no intention whatever Of
doing so. The reports from Cincinnati
that Mr. Carpenter. of Altoona, Pa.
had made overtures to the commission
may be true. but Mr.. Carpenter has no
connection with either the league or the
Altoona club The Tri-State has never
officially asked for protection, and rip
ening plans for 1906 do not make it look
that it will take that step for some
time to come"

made by the chaos OF the last few
weeks. The export trade has terribly
declined In consequence of the strikes.
The losses thus inflicted on the pop

lowing out Of the country. Russians
who hold government or other securi-
ties are selling out at any price and
purchasing English. French and espe-
cially German securities with gold
