whose dismissal has been ordered was present
at the time the offence was committed and had
actual knowledge of it and knew the guilty ones.
The Presidents order was such that any member
OF the regiment who was rea..y innocent would
not be punished. Those who were not the actual
culprts, but either aided or abetted them, or did
everything in their power to shield and protect
the offenders are undoubtedly guilty Of repre-
hensbe conduct, akin to, If not greater than in
subordination. and deserve both censure and
punishment
A soldiers relation to his country is very
close and peculiar one. He cannot protect de-
serters, aid spies, nor dislose military secrets,
and the same rule or law forbids his upholding
and protecting even his comrades in doing that
which is against the interests Of the country such
as would be a deliberate violation Of its laws and
the rules Of the army
The fact that the members OF the regiment are
colored has not thing to do with the case The
principle at stake is one that depends upon
neither color, race nor creed To ucuounce the
President for his action in this matter is to favor
a condition, which, if followed to It's conclusion,
would disorganze the army, prevent the enforce
ment of law and order, and perhaps, in the end
destroy the government.

A SOLDIER AND HIS COUNTRY.

THERE have been few subjects of national
h interest that have provoked more general
discussion and wider range of opinion than that
OF the Presidents action in dismissing the
Brownsville colored regiment 1t is regrettable
to notice in the discussion of this subject that
those newspapers who are unfrendly to the
President, by reason of his politics or his atti-
tude in curbing certain abusive corporations, are
the most ready to condemn his action. Some of
them, like Every Evening of this city, express no
opinion upon the subject, but imply that the
President was wrong in his action and say that
he would be political coward if upon his return,
after further hearing Of the case, he should in
any way change his views and modify his order.
As the matter now stands, it is difficult to see
how anyone can fail to agree with the President
violation of the law and rules of the army by
certain number Of the colored regiment was
an offence that had to be dealt with There was
no question that the offenders and violators were
members of the regiment and as such they proved
themselves unworthy Of the title Of a good
soldier
The success and effectiveness of an army de-
pends more upon the rigid enforcement OF disci-
pine that almost any other thing To preach
the doctrine that it is the duty Of the innocent to
shield and protect the guilty, is to pull down the
foundation upon which military discipline, the
honor Of soldiers respect for superiors and low
atty to government rest
The evidence submitted to the President was
10 the effect that every member OF the regiment

Editorial Opinion
Keep Faith at Dover.

Morning News to-day
When the agreement was reached early
in the summer to call upon Governor
Lea TO summon the General Assembly in
special session. for the purpose OF elect
ing a United States Senator, the clear
understanding was that, in the event Of
such an election being brought about,
New Castle county Republicans would
not seek to name the Senator TO be
chosen next January This was the basis
OF the special session. The members Of
the General Assembly from Kent and
Sussex counties agreed to the plan and
with the clear provision that Colonel du-
Pont should be named. They kept IA tn
and the work Of the special SESSION was
done quickly and without any unneces-
sary delay. Then the yaclnt seat in the
United States Senate was fEed-that is
man was named for the place. When
Congress meets next month Delaware

no candidate for serat rial nors, and
it IS not for New Castle county to say

New Castle county now has a Senator
and the one to be elected next Janra y
should come from either Kent or sus-
sex county Thus it is Tor the members

" to consider that they are bound by

self wondering why more missionary
work among heathen at home and less

not done by our religious bodies. When
I see the depths Of degradation and

Our daily increasing number OF de-

TO-DAY THE EVENING JOURNAL COM
pletes a full year under its present man
agemcnt and considering all OF the trials and diff
>6culties with which il has been beset we are ex-
ceedingly thankful to be here to express our APP
probation of our friends whose loyalty and sup
port have contributed so much to its success.
The policy Of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
has been indeed an innovation in Wilmington
journalism. To champion the rights ol the
masses who could contribute 20 its support only
one cent a day,-to oppose predatory corpora
tions and those individuals whose personal in
tercsts were nimical to the interests Of the peo-
pie, and thus be deprived OF privileges and thous-
ands Of dollars of money paid directly or indi-
rectly, meant, we were told by many, financial
ruin to any newspaper published in this city
Believing the people in this large manufacturing
city would support at least one newspaper which
had the courage TO express its convictions, would
not wear a muzzle, would oppose wrong in
every form. denounce graft wherever found, dare
TO uphft the weak whoever they were, so ap-
pealed to us as right that we confidently pursued
that course.
The result Of our years work has proven that
our faith in the people was justified. In many
was year ago. Then it was possessed Of little
influence and small circulation, and was not self
supporting To-day its circulation is nearly
three times what is was then, and is, we believe
land we invite a challenge of our claim) the
largest Of any paper published in this city while
the business support Of the paper has many times
increased, until can say that it is now more
than self-supporting. AS to its influence, we
prefer to leave that to those who have felt it
way or another. s.o4z,-a.
We will be pardoned If we say that our city
and State and its people have benefited TO some
extent BY DIR wofk Among the things accom-
pIished iafgefyif not entirely BY TIE GOUR-
NAL are the election OF a United Statts Sena-
tory Suudsystrain. service on the Delaware Road;
driving the Shyock loan companies out a the
State; the assessment and taxation for the first
time OF millions of dollars Of public service cor
poration property; and the improvement of our
street car service and the promised expenditure
OF 100000 Tor betterments We might enumer-
ate Others but they are sufficient to show that
we have done at least some good.
Docs such newspaper deserve TO succeed in
this or any other community? That is ques-
tion which we will leave to our readers and the
people to answer The response we have had
beckons us onward TO our goal and makes us
feel that our policy has struck the right key on
the heartstrings Of the public.
As to the future policy OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL. it will be the same as during the
past year We can ask no more than that in the
year to come we may accomplish as much for
both our friends and ourselves as we have in the
year just ended.
