II seems to me that the cases OF young
men being held prisoner in camps Of
various kinds through the south are
increasing and why It is that the gov
ernment authorities or the State author
tiles have not taken some action in the
matter is rather strange. These cases
should at least be investigated and the
real truth Of the matter found out. When
II comes to holding free horn American
citizens in practical slavery It is more
than the people OF this great Republic
viii stand for and If these reports con-
tinue TO come in the citizens Of the coun-
try would be justified in rising up and
taking such cases into their own hands.

OPPOSE HEAp.cRAcK1NG.

M F THE reports from Kent and Sussex to the
effect that certain Republicans who are
supposed to be in favor of party harmony, ale
clubbing other Republicans over the head, be
true it is to be regretted by those who have been
working to get the party together and who hope
to see it successful in the future 1t is a reck-
less and foolish policy for any Republican at this
stage of the game to try to square accounts with
some other Republican, and try to keep him out
of the convention or off of this or that commit
tee Such tactics are not only absolutely mex
cusable, and show lack of common sense ami
good political judgment, but they greatly endan-
ger the party We do not believe in head
cracking politics If we are to have harmony
then let us have it and have it right. Don't stop
one fight, only to begin another. There is no
benefit or advantage to the party or anybody else
in such a policy. We had hoped the harmony
program guaranteed an open door. wide and
broad enought to allow every element, faction and
individual OF the party TO enter the new or
ganization without friction, and that once In, al
bitter feeling and personal animosities would be
forgotten. That is our understanding of wha
the harmony convention was intended to be. w,
contend that all those who have been active in
bringing about harmony should be treated with
due consideration, and good faith should be
shown all around. That is the least that should
be done, and anything Tess will surely lead to de
feat and bring lasting reproach upon those re
sponsible for it.

eovERNMENTs BY INTEREsT.

II HAT may be classed as Special interests"
in Delaware and elsewhere always
on guard to protect themselves from legislation.
The richer and the stronger certain corporations
become the more anxious they seem to be -
avoid paying their just share towards the sup
port of the government under which they grow
prosperous Everyone knows the task municipal
authorities have with public service corporations.
These concerns enjoy exclusive privileges. They
are not subject to open competition. They hold
franchises, use the streets of people and the
years go by their privileges and franchises be-
come more and more valuable. Yet they are
always in conflict with the city. They arc al
ways seeking to avoid payment of just and equit-
able taxes They compel some one else to con-
tribute what they ought to pay. They place
valuation on their own property but suppose they
should be taxed on the valuation that they claim.
What howl they would make.
The railroad companies are always seeking to
avoid payment of righteous taxes. The political
history of Delaware for the last fifty years, has
been history Of the efforts of the Delaware rail-
road corporation to control the political affairs
OF the State in endeavor to pay as little taxes
as possible. And what mockery it is to see
practical agents Of this company going to New
York to welcome Bryan who has announced that
he favors the government ownership OF railroad
companies as campaign issue
It is not only public service corporations but
private ones as well that seek to influence poll
tics. Many of the large private ones try TO un-
load upon the State or city authorities burdens
that they alone should carry. Witness the move
ment of few days ago to have the city build an
other sewer to take care of drainage that pri-
vate company should be compelled to look after.
There is every indication that the special inter-
ests will seek to control the incoming Legsla-
ture as they have done those of past years. The
voters should not sit idle by and turn over the
whole conduct of the State government to the
agents OF corporate and special interests.
