same ola MACHINE CRY.

Whenever the old Republican machine
in Pennsylvania was hardl-nrcssed by the
honest voters Of that State, il madly
raised the issue OF the protective tariff,
no matter how important the local issues
at stake. 'Do you want the country
cursed by free trade 20 they would wildly
shout; III you do, defeat the Republican
ticket
This year the people Of Pennsylvania
are in revolt against the Republican
machine, and the machine organs are
getting ready for another "save the
tariff" campaign, in the hope Of avcrting
defeat. Tho paco has been set by the
chief organ Of the machine, the Philadel-
phis inquirer, which blazes the way by
holding up a boogy Of Organism. "When
the Republicans Of Pennsylvania make
up their minds that il would be a good
thing 10 elect William j. Bryan President
Of the United States, they will defeat
Edwin S. Stuart for governor of Penn
ylvania," it declares with prophetic
earncstness. "But we do not believe
they win defeat Stuart until they are
willing 10 accept Bryan. And we do not
believe that they arc willing TO take
Bryan in the place Of Roosevelt just yet"
No; Bryan is not yet a candidate for
President Of the United States, nor can
il be decided that he viii be until a year
and a half after tho people Of Pennsyl-
vania have decided whether they want a
machine governor or a governor OF their
own
But the Bryan bugaboo will do as a
starter. Very soon il will be reinforced
by the protective tariff, and the people
Of Pennsylvania win be asked TO place
the candidate Of a corrupt and disoredited
political machine in the Office Of governor
for the purpose Of Saving the protective
tariff and preventing the election Of Will
liam J. Bryan to the Presidency Of the
United State" two issues that have
about as much TO do with the pending
campaign as the identity Of the man in
the moon.
Possibly the voters Of Pennsylvania
know this as well as other people. II il

the Hand Of Addioks is Suspected.
Special Correspondence OF Everv Evening
Dover, June Certificates Of in
corporation were filed here, yesterday, as
follows:
Mubenhauer Co.. Philadelphia. Pa, TO
engage in the business of general COM
mission brokers, &c Incorporators,
William w Mubenhauer and Ida NJ
Naglee Of Philadelphia; f. X Cochran,
lr, Wilmington, Del; capital stock,
Clayton, Smyrna and Bayshore Trac-
SO 600.
The latter charter was filed here yes
terday by Attorney-General Robert II.
Richards and is looked upon as the carry
ing out of the purposes Of Addicks, when,
some weeks ago, he declared that he in
tended to get rid Of Promoter L. Click
who was supposed to be managing the
smyrna and Clayton trolley to Wood
land Beach. One of the incorporators
Of the above company is Newall Ball
and while the name Of Addicks does not
appear, II is understood that he is the
prime factor
BY the filing of this charter the new
company supercedes the old company
from the fact that the charter fled fully
complies with the corporation laws, even
20 the depositing Of the money with the
secretary of state
There is a feeling here that back Of the
iiling of the charter lies a motive, which
may develop later, as the political cam
paign in Delaware progresses.

Monevin Pol,.,oa.

In his address 10 the students Of Union
College, schenectady,N Y, on Wednes-
day, Mayor George b. Mcclellan Of New
York City made this truthful declaration:
Except for the bare necessities Of exist
ence, money cannot be honestly made in
politics"
True enough, so far as holding political
office is concerned. Extravagant salaries
for public office are the exception, not
the rule, and few Of them afford any
opportunity 70 the incumbent TO accumu-
late a fortune.
But that there is money in politics
cannot be disputed, Scarcely a COM
munity is without visible evidences Of the
fact.
James G. Blaine died millionaire,
after half a lifetime spent in Congress
and the cabinet at Washington Matthew
Stanley Quay made a good living while
holding political positions, few Of which
carried salaries sufficient 10 more than
meet his living expenses Members Of
Philadclphias City Councils have been
known 10 wax wealthy in office, although
there no salaries or perquisites are pro-
vided by law.
Evidently there are secret ways OF
making money out OF the public service
else men would not grow rich in it wher
the salaries are small And there ar,
those who served many years as publ,
officials without making more than a bar,
living. Samuel j. Randall was in Con
gress for about twenty years, and died q
comparatively poor man. The sam,
may be- said about Judge William d
Kelley OF the same city, and that it ap
plies to many men now in Congress an,
other branches Of the public service i
equally true.
Whatever the secret, therefore, it j
learned only by some, while many other
serve their time in public life ignorant O
the means by which they might bccom
wealthy through politics.

ND RuaIneaa sltuntlon.

r.. G. Dun 4 Co.'s Review says "a
moderate reduction in commercial ac-
tivity is to be expected az this time of the
year. but confidence in the future is so
strong that there is evident reluctance to
assume scasonahly quiet conditions This
attitude is most pronounced in the in
dustral world preparations for fall and
winter distribution being ON an unprc-
cedcnted scale, and several leading produc-
ers announce that the customary summer
shutdown viii be entirely omitted or
curtailed TO the extent nocessitated by
repairs. The heavy movement of mer-
chandiso is attested by an increase in
railway earnings thus far reported for
June Of lis per cent over the correspond
ing period of 1905, and foreign commerce
at this port for the last week shows a
gain OF Sl.Sil,07l in exports and a de-
crease of S67l 600 in imports as compared
with the movement a year ago. All
classes OF farm staples except cotton were
exported more freely in May than in the
same month last year, and the loss of
almost 100000 900 in cotton failed 10
prevent a gain in an exports of 81, 6,7557ls.
while imports showed an increase Of SIP
42S 060 over the corresponding month
OF 1905.

Results Of tho special Session.


According 70 Every Evenings Dover
correspondent, the State has gained little
or nothing by the enactment. at the
special session of the Legislature. OF the
amendments to the Franchise Tax law
which were proposed by Governor Lea
IN his call of the session. The proba-
bilities are that so little Of the out
standing franchise taxes are coli
lectible that the cost of collection might
easily exceed the receipts, as the provi-
sions for compensation are most liberal
The collection agents are not only to
receive a commission on what they col
lect, but in the event that they fail to
collect anything are to be allowed reason
able compensation" for their efforts.
Unless some more favorable explana-
ton may be advanced, this legislation Of
the special session viii not promise any
advantageous results to the State. In
deed, the State viii be fortunate If the
legislation does not prove burdensome.
And so it viii be seen that the special
session simply imposed expenses upon the
people, with nothing but the settling of a
disgusting iactional quarrel, and the cleo
tion Of a Senator who should have been
elected at the regular session, to show
for il.
Il would seem that by this time the
people Of Delaware should be pretty well
disgusted with Republican Legislatures
Of the calibre we have been familiar with
since 1895.

AIIee.s sole pIetInetlon.

Il is a real pleasure to note that Senator
Alice is not absolutely void Of Senatorial
distinction. 1t was supposed that he was
not possessed Of a single qualification by
which he could be known as a member Of
the Senate, save his presence at its ses-
sions and the inclusion OF his name in the
roll Of members.
But, according TO the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Herald,
Senator Alice has a distinction. He is
one Of the "Short Leggers" Of the Senate,
a term which means exactly what it is.
This appellation is applied to certain
Senators whose bodies are long and legs
short. They include, besides Alice, Sena-
tors La Toilette and Spooner of Wiscon-
sin, Allison of Iowa, Clark of Montana,
Martin of Virginia, Simmons of North
Carolina, Hale of Maine, Knox of Penn
sylvania, Nixon of Nevada, Beveridge
Of Indiana, and Martin, the new Senator
from Kansas.
Il is not to be urged that there is any
glory in being connected with the group
Of short-legged Senators, but It is a dis
tinction, and for Allee's participation in
it we of Delaware will feel grateful. As
for Alice, legs are not the only thing he
is short on.
