SURVIVES 2O,ooO VOLT SHOCK.
Lineman for Power Company Near Red-
 ding Thrown from Pole.

Bedding. Pa.-Twenty thousand volts of electricity passed through Charles Miller's body, burning a deep wound in his right hand and another in his right hip. and he still lives. He was working on a power line pole near Pit River bridge, when he thoughtlessly grabbed one of the large copper wires carrying 10000 volts of electicity.
 There was blinding flash and Miller was knocked from the pole to the ground. but not rendered unconscious The electricity entered his right hand burning almost all the flesh from the palm, and came out at the right hip leaving a hole in the flesh four inches across and almost two. inches deep He picked himself up from the ground and started for Delamar, walking foul miles to his home.

rhose Rldloulous Rrltona.

In the British House Of Parliament on
Monday last, Hon. Thomas Charles Aga
Robartes, member for the Bodmin divi-
sion of Cornwall, was unseated in accord
ance with a petition charging him with
using corrupt methods in securing his
election. And the principal offence cited
in the petition was the entertainment of
some voters at garden party given at
his residence.
What screamingly funny farce this
appears in the light of conditions that
exist in Delaware. How very particular
have our British cousins become in their
regard for the purity Of elections. How
straight the line that a candidate for
Parliament must walk throughout the
campaign if he desires to retain his seat
after he is elected.
Here in Delaware and Delaware is no
exception among the States candidates
openly electioneer by treating voters to
free liquor and cigars, and nothing is
thought Of it, In fact, it is the customary
method Of campaigning all over this
country Here in Delaware, while a seat
in the House Of Representatives is not
looked upon as a negotiable asset, seats in
the Senate are disposed of at auction for
excrutiatingy high prices.
How different in Great Britain. A
brewer who was elected TO Parliament
was unseated because one of his Gus
TONERS, without his knowledge, had
broached barrel of ale and set it out for
the free consumption of voters. And
now another member has been unseated
because he entertained some electors as
guests at a garden party.
Would that a small fraction Of the
British circumspection with respect to
the absolute freedom of elections from
even the suspicion of contamination
could be imported to Delaware.

Absurditles OF leave 20 Print"


In the House of Representatives, on
May 3ist. Mr.. sherman of New York adj
dressed the chair and made a request for
unanimous consent to print in the Con-
gressional Record, in connection with
his remarks, a speech which Secretary
Of the Treasury Shaw had made some
time previously before the Missouri
League Of Republican Clubs The de-
sired consent was given, and this political
speech by the Secretary Of the Treasury
was printed in the Record at the public
expense. Later, this extract from the
Record was collated in pamphlet form
and sent broadcast through the mails,
under the franks of Senators and Repre-
sentatives, TO do campaign work for the
Republican party at the cost Of the entire
people.
On June 18th, Representative William
Alden Smith of Michigan secured adj
mission 10 the columns of the Congres-
sional Record, and thus prepared the
way for its subsequent pamphlet print
ing and distribution at public expense,
for a speech delivered by Postmaster
General Cortelyou at the celebration OF
Lincolns Birthday held this year at
Grand Rapids, Michigan.
These instances show how the "leave
TO print" is abused by cheeky Congress
men who have not the nerve TO ask
openly for a public appropriation for the
purpose Of printing and distributing poll
tical speeches. All they have to do is to
make allusion to such speeches, in the
course of their remarks on the floor Of
Congress, ask unanimous consent for
"leave 10 print, and the trick is worked.
Some years ago a member of Congress,
by this subterfuge, secured the printing
in the Congressional Record of the entire
text Of Henry Georges book, Progress
and Poverty" and the subsequent frank
ing Of numerous copies of his speech"
through the mails
But what an absurdity, what an impo-
sition, what contemplate fraud, the
proceeding is.

Jspan In coraa

Advices from Corea are somewhat sur
prisiug They show that a revolution is
in progress there, and that the Japanese
are supprcssing it with great vigor.
Ordinarily it would be supposed that
Corea, as an Independent kingdom, would
assume the duty of supprcssing robellons
within her borders But the fact is that
Corca is no longer an independent king
dom. She is not kingdom at all. She
is practically Japanese colony, under
Japanese rule, and the Emperor Of Corca
is but dgurchead. and emperor in word
only and without the power to sign his
name except as directed by the agencies
of Japan.
Immediately upon the determination
TO enter into war with Russia. the Japan-
csc campaign against Corea was inaug,i-
rated. Japan went to war with Russia
for the ostensible purpose of preventing
the occupation and control Of Manchuria
by her mighty European antagonist: and
at the same time. and under cover of this
war, Japan entered upon a scheme to
steal Corea. She established suser-
ainty, but it was only a shield to cover
absolute occupation and control The
feeble agents OF the Corean government.
under duress signed compacts which
made them helpless to do any of those
acts which an independent government
may of right do. without the consent Of
Japan. And from this assumed control
Japan has passed to such absolute con-
trol that her armies are fighting and beat
ing down the independent people of
Corca who resist their transfer to the
sovereignty Of the Island Kingdom.
As the United States has done in the
Philippines, so Japan has done in Corca.
but without the fomality of treaty. such
as the United States entered into with
Spain for possession of the Philippines
Japan has simply stolen Corca. through
intrigue supplemented by brute force.

La Man For PreeIdent.

Commenting on Terence V. Powderlys
expressed preference for President Roose-
velts denomination by the Republican
National Convention of 1905 the Mount
Carmel Pa, Item, in an editorial which
we reprint elsewhere in this issue, cor
daily presents Judge George Gray Of
Delaware for the Democratic nomination.
This is very pleasing compliment to
Judge Gray, and no doubt it viii be
warmly indorsed by good Democrats an
over the country. Two years ago, with
out any organized movement in his favor
the suggestion Of Judge Gray for the Dem
ocratic nomination. for President found
many supporters, and it was then apar-
rent to those who were interested in the
proposition that concerted campaign
thoroughly organized and equipped
would have given him formidable stand
ing before the St. Louis Convention, with
a very strong probability OF his nomina-
tion.
But Judge Gray himself was the firmest
and most consistent opponent of the use
Of his name in connection with the Demo-
cratic nomination for President in 1904,
and this attitude on his part would have
nullihed the results of the best kind of a
campaign in his favor That was two
years ago As he was disinclined to the
honor then, it is not probable that he will
look upon the suggestion any more favor
ably two years hence, when he will be
four years older than he was in 1904, and
that much nearer the limit when the
average man feels that he must put all
thoughts of political preierment behind
him.
That Judge Gray would make an ideal
candidate for President, particularly in
view Of existing conditions in the national
government, is not to be disputed. But
there is little doubt, judging by the ex-
penence of 1904, that in Judge Gray him
self would be found the greatest obstacle
should the suggestion of the Pennsyl-
vania newspaper whose editorial we re-
print today find favor in other sections
Of the country.

LIBERTY.
John Hay.

What man is there so bold that he should
Thus and thus only would have the
sea ?"
For whether lying calm and beautiful,
Clasping the earth in love, and throwing
The smile of heaven from waves of anne
thyst;
Or whether freshened by the busy winds,
II bears the trade and navies of the world
To ends of use and stern activity;
Or whether, lashed by tempests, 1t gives
way
To elemental fury, howls and roars
AT al It's rocky barriers. In wild lust
OF ruin drinks the blood of living things,
And strews its wrecks DER leagues Of deso-
late shore
Always it is the sea, and all bow down
Before its vast and varied majesty.
And SO in vain will timorous men essay
To set the metes and bounds OF liberty.
For freedom Is its own eternal law;
II makes It's own conditions, and in storm
Or calm alike luliills the unerring will.
let us not then despisc 10 when il lies
Still as "a sleeping lion, while a swarm
OF gnat-lil<e evils hover around its head;
Nor doubt il when in mad, disiointed
times
IL shakes the torch OF terror, and its cryi
Shnlls DER the quaking earth and in the
flame
OF riot and war we see its awful form
Rise by the scaiold. where the crimson AK
Rings down its grooves the knell of shud-
dering kings
For always In thine ewes, O Liberty,
Shines that high light whereby the world
is saved
And, though thou slay US, We viii trust in
thee.

so that our strenuous executive might
finish the laudable programme he has
begun In forcing monopolistic combine

1t can be set down as a hard and fast

are firm in their opposition to a third
consecutive term for any President

politicians OF his time, understands this
Nevertheless, this unwritten law does
not mean that the Roosevelt reforms
need lag when their great advocate lets

above all others, one man in the country
eminently fitted TO carry on the work Of
popular emancipation, and that man
to be found in the ranks Of the Demo''
raCy.
He is Judge Gray of Delaware,
Scholar, statesman, iurist and sociolo-
gist, he is peculiarly equipped to preside
with dignity in the nations highest seat
and to direct the policies OF people who
are passing through a crisis second only
to that of the Civil War By his noml-

outside of Roosevelt no man in the Re

at one with Roosevelt in all those Roose-
welt policies which the American voters
have unqualihedly indorsed. OF ell tho

Y. M. c. A. Building Fund.

The address to the people by Mr..
Henry b. Thompson, president Of the
Y. NJ. c. A., in relation TO the new build
ing fund of that organization, should
appeal to all who feel an interest in the
welfare Of the city. For the welfare OF
the city is very materially involved in
the successful work of such an organiza-
tion as the Young Mem Christian Associa-
tion, and the work Of that body for the
city's welfare will be materially aided by
the successful completion of the new
building project upon which it is now
launched.
Particularly should President Thomp-
sons appeal to the young men of the
city meet with an appreciative and gem
erous response. The Y. NJ. C. A. means
much to the young men of a community,
in the way of instruction, good compan-
ionship and wholesome diversion. The
work in which the Wilmington organiza-
tion is now engaged should enlist their
warmest sympathies, and with this
agency, coupled with the other forces
of good which have been set in motion,
the success Of the new building move
