About Those Exnanaltnres.

The Middletown Transcript seems con-
sidcnbly stirred by the showing made
by Every Evening. from figures Of the
county auditors official report, of the
largely increased expenditures in the
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Levy Count dis
tricts during the fiscal year l9Ol-5. It
alludes 10 this official showing as Every
Evening "attack upon the present Levy
Court"
Now, Every Evening made no attack"
upon the Levy Court. IL simply pre-
sented the expenditures in these three
districts for the year l0O4-5, as compiled
from official sources, and compared them
with the expenditures for the preceding
year That the result showed sur
prisingly large increase-nearly so per
cent in the Fourth district, more than 100
per cent in the Fifth and nearly 800 per
cent ia the Sixth was not in any manner
an attack upon the Levy Court It was
merely "a statement of fact; presentation
of an undeniable situation.
Now, if the Middletown Transcript
takes exception to this work by Every
Evening, it is its manifest duty to do
one Of two things Either show that Every
Evenings figures were wrong (Which il
is impossible to do, as they we're taken
from official sources), or give a salts
factory explanation Of this startling in
crease in the expenditures Of these three
districts But il makes only a feeble
attempt in this direction by intimating
that in one of them tho administration
Of the previous year had been negligent
in not eXpending enough money for legiti-
mate purposes, while in one Of the dis
tricts that showed a reduction the Levy
Court Commissioner had been scrupulously
economical. II admits that II is mot
advised" as to "what makes up the in
crease in the districts, and takes oonsola-
tion from the fact that the aggregate Of the
expenditures in the three questionable dis
tricts is "only about 7 per cent of the
total expenditures of the year and the
increase less than per cent" From
this il reasons that there will have to be
still larger increase in the expenditures
before an increase in the tax rate will
become necessary.
Really this organ Of the "Court House
Ring" would have done better service
to the "Ring" had It ignored the subject
entirely. The manner in which ID deals
with it is unsatisfactory and sug-
gostive Of something wrong. It's labored
defence is suspicious, 10 say the least.
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1906-04-30
ApprcKs, SCHEME.

He Would Have the Leaders Of the Forces
OF Corruption Unite in Common Cause
The sun, Addicks orgsn.
This is a good time for political stock
taking, for estimating mems political
possessions. and determining who have,
and who have nothing in the way OF po,,
Etical influence and following that would
make them desirable and advantageous
parties in adjusting Republican political
differences. In conception of present
conditions the number, conhning it to
census of alleged leaders, is small.
No one imagines that ex-senator Hlg-
gins. or Gen. Wilson, or Benjamin
Nields, or Henry b. Thompson, or ex-
Senator Ball, OF Senator Alice, or Con-
gresham Burton, or ex-Secretary OF
State Layton, have any transferable
assets of a political character. All these
gentlemen have either voluntarily, or
by force OF circumstances, been retired
from the front rank of political forces.
Their names readily suggest the times
and circumstances of their retirement.
In most cases they either got tired OF the
work, or the work got tired OF them.
The great splurges they we're won't TO
make when they plunged into the sea
Of politics, are now only the nearly IN
audible plunks of pebbles. In few IN
stances those whom we have enumerated
hang on 10 the place and pose OF leader
ship by reason of official station and
prominence. Otherwise they have alien
ated themselves from the environment,
the men and sentiments out OF which
grew them force as leaders. In only a
lew cases do they hold official relation
to party organizations. Senator Alice
proposed resignation as State chairman
-ex-Secretary of State Layton having
no official relation to his party-will, vir-
tually, be the abdication of the parties
who have hitherto made such a muddle
of the harmony negotiations, and Will
probably end the diplomatic make shift
ticket making that has produced such
unsatisfactory results
While these men have been passing
and these conditions have been develop
ing, the parties of the larger influence
and following have remained. Nobody
has presumed to say that the du Points
have gone out of politics; nor has the
oft repeated slogan, Of ultra boilers,
"Addicks is down and out " proved to
be true Whatever these two elements
in our State politics stand for in po-
uilcdl power ana luluelltt DN btilcIdl
consent here and the country over, they
still confront each other as the parties
Of the first part on either side. We
think that is too plain and unmistakable
to be overlooked. The suggestion is that
these men, whose political fortunes have
withstood the stress of storm and battle
have, in the confidence of the men who
rally loyalty to their support, political
assets the merging of which would bring
about the much desired harmony in Re
publican politics, and assure the control
Of the State; stop the mouths of scan
dal mongers and remove some political
parasites that have been fourishing and
fattening on the fruits of factionaiism
Such a merger would put the State again
in her normal and rightful place in the
Congress of the nation.
Are these things not worth VIII lie ?
