BISHOP MONAGHAN PLEASED
With the Success of the Anti
Bribery League Move
ment in Delaware.
HE BELIEVES IT WILL DO GOOD
BY Building Up Moral Sentl-
ment Against Bribery.
Corruption at Elections, the Bishop Points
Out. II Detrimental to the Best Interests
ofthe state, DemoraiizinE 10 the People
and a Stain on the Commonwealth.

Rt. Rev. John J. Monaghan, Bishop
Of the Diocese of Wilmington, is
greatly pleased at the success of the
anti-hribcry movement which has been
inaugurated in the State, and he feels
that it viii be productive Of good.
Other ecclesiastical authorities hav-
ing expressed themselves on the sub
lecti while 1t was we'll known that tho
bishop has always been opposed to cor
ruption at elections, a reporter of
Every Evening called upon him this
morning at his residence, Third
and Jackson streets, and discussed
the matter with him, which showed
that the bishop is heartily in accord
with what is being done to stamp out
this great evil.
" IL is a matter Of great pleasure
and satisfaction to me, said the
bishop, in response to the reporters in
quiry, to note the very determined
effort that is being made in Delaware
to put a stop TO the practice Of bribery
at elections, which has been so det-
rimental to the best interests of our
State and so demoralizing to the people
of the State. "
The bishop said he felt encouraged
at the success Of the Anti-Bribery
League movement and thought il
should receive the support of all good
citizens.
i hope that this united effort OF
our best citizens, - he continued, with
emphasis, will build up such moral
sentiment against bribery as to COM
pletely etiace this stain from ouI
State.

Tne RepubIIoan sltuatIon.

The Republican situation in Delaware
was clearly defined by the decision Of
the Regular Republican State Central
Committee, at It's meeting in Dover
yesterday II is this: The Regulars
will not agree TO harmony except upon
the consideration of the filling OF the
Senatorial vacancy presumably with
a man of their faction-by the present
Republican Legislature The Union
Republicans deem il inadvisable to at
tempt 10 have a Senator elected by the
Republican majority which was unable
to agree at the regular session. This
means a continued division Of the party
into two factions.
The Regular Republican ultimatum
was. owe will accept your proposition
Qor common primaries for the election
Of delegates to a Republican State Con-
vention) if your people will agree with
ours and elect a Senator"
While this declaration in a measure
preserves the integrity Of the Regular
Republican organization, and inferen-
TALLY reiterates It's hostility to the cleo
tion of Addicks to the Senate, It can
hardly he accepted as polite and GER
tainly is not shrewd. The natural
answer of the Union Republicans would
be: owe are as ready to elect Senator
now as we were at the regular session,
provided all the Republican members
will agree to abide by the voice Of the
Republican caucus" And then the
Regular Republicans would be obliged
to crawfish away from their own propo-
sition, for caucus would undoubtedly
nominate Addicks.
The future, therefore, is a matter Of
uncertainty, but there is reason for CON
graduation in the fact that the inhu-
ences in the Regular Republican or
ganization which are willing that the
the party shall stultily itself by yielding
to the demand Of the Union Republicans
for decision Of the situation by common
primaries, we're not permitted to control
the action of the committee at yester-
days session.
The Regular Republicans Of Delaware
are not yet ready to surrender TO Ad.
dicks and Addicksism.

The churoh and oorruptlon.

The declaration Of the Presbytery Of
New Castle, at lis session in Lewes on
Wednesday, against bribery and other
forms Of corruption at elections in this
State, was forceful and expressive. The
presbytery raised its voice in denun-
citation Of the great evil, requested it's
preachers TO preach against Il, and urged
its members 70 think over the question
carefully. with view to doing their part
as citizens 70 effect a reform.
There can be no doubt that during the
campaign Of this year, the evil Of election
corruption in Delaware will be openly
opposed by the great body Of the Christian
church. For the conscience Of the church
has been aroused TO action, rs we'll as the
conscience of the people. The Anti
Bribery League is now strengthened by the
cordial and open endorsement Of two
leading religious organizations Of the
Peninsula-the Wilmington Conference
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church and
the Presbytery of New Castle-and other
religious bodies that are yet TO convene
are expected to mako similar declarations.
There is no doubt whatever Of the position
of the church in the great contest against
the forces Of debauchery and corruption
that is now under way.
II is no idle boast therefore, to pre-
dict that the reign Of bribery and buying
of votes at elections in this State is about
at an end. The atrocities of recent elections
have aroused the people. Christian senti-
ment and tho stern hand Of the law have
been invoked 10 fight the evil, and against
this combination it cannot stand.

The Work OF Relief.

The people Of Wilmington arc respond
ing nobly to the appeal for funds for the
relief Of the suffering and destitute people
of San Francisco. From all the agencies
90 quickly established yesterday the re-
sponses are liberal, and the total Of the
day was moro than 1000, which will be
largely augmented by today's results.
The work throughout che State is being
ably looked after by the Delaware Branch
Of the American National Red Cross,
which organization will do a great work
in effectively directing the relief measures
so that they will do the greatest good to
the stricken people.
Subscriptions received at Every Even
ing Office are not credited to this paper,
but are acknowledged IN the list made up
daily at noon by Treasurer Steward OF
the Citizens Committee. Every Even

agencies for advancing the committee 4
work.

Whnt Arc oreat Fortunes ?

President Roosevelt's recommendation
Of taxation as a means Of curbing fortunes
"unduly swollen" has given rise TO specu-
lation as to what constitutes a great for
tune in these days.
Il will be recalled that ex-President
Hayes, in consideration given to this
subject more than a quarter of a century
ago, placed the limit Of wealth which ono
person should be permitted to possess at
s3,000,0O0, That sum is a mere baga-
telle compared with some of the fortunes
of today.
Il is recalled by tho Chicago Tribune,
however, that the difference in conditions
also makes a difference in what consti-
tutes a fortune of dangerous proportions.
The total wealth Of the country is in
creasing so rapidly, it points out that
today a fortune of Sl0O,OO0,O0O in the
hands of one man is not so portentous
as a fortune Of 81 100000 was a hundred
years ago. Shall we draw the limit at
si0O,OOO,OOO9

in the above preamble, had an accurate
knowledge of the conditions which have
left the city without money today. It
was known at the time that there was
deficit Of at least 100000, part Of which
was due TO loans TO the amount OF $4,000
made during the previous year. just as
City Council recently made a loan for
this year, and is now preparing to
negotiate another Instead Of providing
for this established deficit, and guarding
against the conditions now prevailing
which we're as apparent then as they are
today, the City Council deliberately
ignored the situation and established a
tax rate which every member who voted
for it knew was insufficient for the actual
financial needs Of the city.
The pretext that the existing condition
is an extraordinary occasion not antici-
pated at tho time Of making the annual
appropriation, is, therefore, most ridicu-
lous. II is as false as It is foolish. It
may serve as a legal protection for those
from whom the money may be borrowed,
but it will not serve those members of
City Council who deliberately brought
this condition about from the censure
which justly applies to them. Nor will
Il relieve the members Of the present City
Council from the responsibility which will
soon devolve upon them, that Of pro-
viding for the next fiscal year, which will
begin on July lst, sufficient revenue to
cover every dollar Of the appropriations
that will be made for carrying on the city
government from July lst, 1905, TO June
Both, 1907.

After a desperate contest, in which the
Boston Herald was the chosen champion
Of the victorious side, the Massachusetts,
Legislature has repealed the requirement
that the sale of liquor shall be suspended
at II O'Clock each night, to be resumed
at 6 O clock in the morning, and fixed the
hour Of suspension at II o'clock mid
night.
The fight was one in which partisan
considerations figured, as the probable
effect of this legislation upon the tenn
perance voters was a matter that the
politicians Of the old parties found it
difficult to estimate. However, the con-
clusion reached was that one party would
not suffer more than the other, whereupon
Democrats and Republicans Joined in
offecting the desired change.
