NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

THE prediction of the New York "Sun" that
a the next governor of that State will be a
Democrat, and that the next President OF the
United States will be Democrat, is not likely to
give the Republican leaders a nightmare, or
make them stay awake at nights trying to devise
some way to avoid such calamity. 1t may be
that the "Sun" is anxious to have Hearst or some
other Democrat at Albany for a term, and If it is,
it is OF course entitled TO express its opinion and
preferences in the matter. But we do otimagine
that what the Sun" says will have much TO do
with determining the result. The "Sun" has
never met with much success as prophet, any
how for it usually happens that the fellow it sup
ports gets left at the post A candidate that has
the Sun back OF him is badly handicapped
That paper has long since ceased 10 be a moulder
Of public opinion; for years it has been rated at
its true worth--as simply mouth-piece of Wall
Street interests Its owner Mr.. J. Perpont Nor
gan, is much better qualified to judge the value
of Egyptian vases and bul-pups, than he is TO say
what the people want which candidate they
ought TO elect Just as Joseph had, so has the
SUN coat Of many colors; one day it is Demo-
cratic the next day it is Republican, and the next
time you hear from it, it is Democratic again. 1t
is paper without party-like the men it speaks
for. 1t reminds us OF the evidence given by one
of the sugar trust magnates before the Senate
committee some time ago, when he said that his
company contributed to the Republican campaign
fund in New York, to the Democratic fund in
Massachusetts,, and that he couldn't say which
party it supported in New Jersey until he looked
at the books. So with the "Sun" YOU can't tell
where it stands until you have consulted the led
ger account OF its owners.

Editorial Opinion
aAn for the Love Of LADY,

Al tor the Love OF Lady,"
Philadelphia Inquirer.
II is an old saying that there have
been more wars caused by love for
woman than enmity toward man. An
extension Of the thought would be that
most crimes are committed on the
same basis. This is not Intended as a
blow at womanhood. which. whatever
its failings, is responsible for most OF
the good in the world But the ex-
ample OF Adam has been followed for
untold generations. and the complaint
constantly made: 'The woman beguil-
ed me and I did cat" This is practi-
cally what Is said by Wray. the de-
fautlng bank teller Of Pittsburg, who
is coming home from Canada to face
trial.
It ought TO be set down to the credit
OF the embezzler that he makes no
complaints. Though he was permitted
TO bask IN the sunshine Of the lady's
favor for a brief time, he seems to
have considered II worth the price he
has to pay According 20 reports, he
wanted her at time a millionaire was
in the best strategic position and to
tempt her away he needed money.
Having none Of his own he took that
Of other people and won his prize. In
ancient days this would have precipi-
tated a war. Did not the whole OF
Greece besiege Troy because OF the
rape Of Helen? The modern method
is more prosaic. Instead Of spears and
shields detectives are invoked and the
modern Paris has no chance for even
mock herolcs.
He goes to jail and the public forgets
him because there are so many others.
millionaire or fclon," cried Wray
as he dipped his hands into the banks
tin, a sentiment which every embez-
zler echoes under like circumstances,
II there were even a sporting mans
chance TO win. the many efforts would
not be surprising. on the contrary
| betting on horses Is a profitable en-
ployment compared with stealing from
a bank. No doubt Wray knew this
we'll enough but when he thought OF
the smiles Of his inamorata, how they
were only 20 be purchased with gold
he determined TO have the smiles and
he got them. II this were the only
way TO win a good woman's favor
there would be less blame to him. But
the truth IS that a woman who must
be won IN that fashion is not worth
having, while those whose price is
above rubies can be secured by the
poorest man II he be upright.

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor Of the election of Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work Of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tions Of One Dollar each from Repub-
licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help US achieve a great victory.

GOLD BUGS TAKING CHARGE.

+ the trouble over the Bryan homecoming
Il reception to be held in New York city,
August 3o continues to multiply as it has during
the last ten days. it probably would be in
initely better for the Democratic party for Mr.
Bryan to send word to his old admirers that he
will never again set his foot on American soil
From nearly every state comes the news Of bitter
and hostile feeling being engendered by the
selection Of delegates to aid in receiving Bryan
Factions that have never before existed are be-
ing created, In great many instances original
Bryan men are being ignored and the recent con-
verts appear to be in command OF the affair The
gold bugs are in evidence everywhere except
in the matter Of making contributions to the
fund to defray the expenses OF the ovation. There
is great scramble for tickets to Madison Square
Garden and from present indications it looks like
that tremendous auditorium will not hold more
than tenth of the number of pilgrims who will

SHOULD PROTECT PEOPLES SAVINGS.

THE twenty thousand or so depositors OF the
i plundered bank in Chicago stand to lose
large share OF their earnings that went into the
hands of the dishonest officers. The looters did
their pillaeing on an elaborate scale They got
a million al the lowest estimate. The consolation
of the depositors is that policemen are on guard
around the bank to prevent amy outbreaks OF
violence" The mob is to be kept in check and
a mild warrant is sworn out for the fugitive bank
officials 1t was first whispered that the depos-
itors may get seventy cents on the dollar Prob
ably they will receive less. Such first estimates
usually dwindle.
The remarkable thing about this recent steal
ing is that the bank was examined by so-called
"examiner" and was found perfectly safe Evil
IDENTIFY it was the case of an examiner who did not
examine, and directors who did not direct Some
thing ought to be done with that examiner. He
declared the institution solvent when the looting
had been going on for years.
The robbery of the Chicago institution has re-
vived the postas savings bank agitation This
would make the government responsible for the
money committed to its charge The people
should have some place of safety for their hard
earned cash. High life" desire for wealth or
hope TO become very rich in a fash with other
peoples money appear to have been responsible
for the looting.
Chicago has been unfortunate in its recent bank
embezzlements All the burglars are not con-
fined to the hold-up men who infest the city
The recreant bank officials will probably be
arrested and tried. They will be sentenced, but
the penalty in these cases never fits the crime
Punishment of such criminals anyway doesn't
benefit those who have lost their savings. There
ought to be some way TO prevent the pillaging Of
these people by dishonest bank officials Some
day an effective means will be devised.

see that the authorities of Chester

I am not much surprised when I
read that there are some interests
which do not wish the city 10 pay
anything for the dredging Of the

who oppose most. however, are those
whose business would be affected by a
deep water way to the foot Of Market
street.
Now there are any number Of people
who are interested greatly in lighters,
and as now no vessel drawing 25 feet
Of water can get within three miles Of
Wilmington. II she carries anything
for this port the goods must be taken
to Philadelphia and shipped back by
rail or brought by hght-draught ves-
sells. A deep waterway means a de-
crease in prohts for these people. and
they do not. Of course. see how the
city should be permitted to spend
money on a deeper channel for the
harbor
II has always been the way with
this city. There are some few who
are not broad-minded enough TO see
the great good Of the many beyond
the borders OF the limited interests Of
their own small sphere. II is time
that the public got its rights ia the

MAKE THE FAIR A SUCCESS.

F VERY effort should be made for the success
- of the coming fair of the Grangers
Whether it will develop into State exposition
OF large proportions depends upon the outcome Of
the meeting so to be held. The men who are in
terested in the movement are hard workers. In
other ventures such as former granger fairs and
the poultry exposition, as we'll as the horse show
they have made a success. If hard labor will
place the coming proposed exposition upon the
high way Of success it will get there. A senti-
ment has been widespread that Delaware should
have first class exposition. This has been con-
sidered and discussed for several years and we
sincerely trust that the high hopes of those inter
ested will be more than fulfilled.
Let us all work together to make the coming
exposition one long to be remembered, and one
that the people will desire to be repeated.
