pany's expenses as a means Of avertng reduc-
ton in wages The men responded and, as
consequence, during January a previous deficit
was turned into surplus simply because of the
care exercised by the employees and their efforts
in economizing. They saved to the road during
the month $4,000 in the coal bill. There was no
waste or extravagant of coal How much
could be saved to employers if the thoughtfulness
and care exercised by these railroad employees were
always practced by men working in manufactur-

Editorial Opinion
Temperanee Mon and PoIities.


Sussex Republican.
our temperance friends in New Cas-
tie County seem to be interesting them
selves in factional party politics IN
that county.
We doubt both the wisdom and ex-
pediency Of such action. The temper
ance question is one of morals and
not of politics, and the friends of the
cause should carefully avoid any a.
tion that appears to identify it with
either party or factional politics. The
local option fight in Sussex was won
by interesting men Of all political
faiths IN the cause, and particular ef-
fort was made to bring the active pot
iticlans OF both political parties into
the fight In aid Of the temperance
cause which was successful. and II
was largely the experience and activity
and influence of the trained polite
ians that won the hght-in Kent ana
Sussex. and in our poinion, It was
the lack Of this influence that lost il
in New Castle.
Both political parties will resent in
terference or meddling IN political and
party questions which can not end &c
not effect the temperance cause.
The temperance people Of New Cas-
tie county want another opportunity
TO vote for or against licensing the
sale Of Intoxicating liquors. This right
can be given them by the Legislature
therefore they are inerested in the
election Of members to the next Leg
islature and should devote all their
efforts to securing nominees for the
Legislature on both tickets, who If
elected VIII give them the right tc
Inn ~
effort to influence other nominations
is not only ill-advised, but inimical -
the best interest of the cause thoy
seek to advance. Thex-Rre wasting
their energy on matters that are for
eign to the temperance cause They
are demanding that the parties give
them all, which neither will do, and
sacrificing all opportunity to secure
that part of the ticket which tn y
need OF course It Is the duty Of
every good citizen 10 use his vote and
influence to securing the nomination
Of the very best men in their party
TO any and every Office within the gift
Of that party, and il is the duty OF
every good citizen to take an interest
In the primary election Of his party
and use his vote and influence to ad
vance the best interest party by nom-
mating the best men for Office and
advancing only good and Trustworthy
men to positions of trust and lead
ership in the party.
II is we'll for our temperance friends
to remember that it was not the vote
OF teetotalers and temperance advo
Gates which won this local option fight,
but men who realized. while hey use
II, that the community and themselve
are better off by the abolition of the
saloon. Our upstate friends shou
awake TO the fact that the men they
are after are some Of the fellows who
voted against them last election. They
are not likely to get them by antag-
onizing political influences.

Those Hospital Dinners.

1t will be remembered that the news
papers about Wilmington recently
jumped on their county hospital trus-
tees because their monthly dinners last
year were too costly. Well. the trus-
tees seem to have been shaken up. At
their monthly meeting last week The
papers state that the dinner was good,
but the fried oysters, and all fowl,
and ice cream Of the past, were cut
out. Well, dinner without fowl on
the table of some kind, is a very slow
meal. Bout as well take a lunch in
the pocket and eat nothing off the
county at all. We understand that

compensation Of less than fifty dollars

bers Of the board. and then order up
richer meals than the old board ever

LAUGHED Out Of Court.

New York Evening Sun.
The charges brought by the Rev.
George A. Cooke. of Brandon, VT,
against Chancellor Day. of Syracuse
University, were literally laughed out
Of court when they were taken up yes
terday by the New York Conference Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. This
was a foregone conclusion. The re-
lator, the Rev. Mr.. Cooke, has such
keen nose for heresy, schism, breaches
OF church discipline and other forms
OF clerical misdemeanor or indiscretion
that when he ventured into the dread
field Of political controversy It was
suspected that his zeal would surpass
his discretion.
The brethren laughed when the FIVE
counts Of the charges involving the
allegation Of speaking evil Of magis-
trates" were presented Doctors Of
divinity are men, have opinions, vote
and otherwise are human like the rest
Of us. So why should they be deferred
from expressing themselves as men
and citizens? Bishop Moore preserved
the occasion and the place from a too
striking manifestation of the comic
spirit. Having announced that his
conference was sufficient to judge Of
the general character and good name
Of its members. he went on:
"These charges are absurd. Charges
might as we'll be brought against one
of the United States Senators, a lead
ing Methodist. who Just the other day
spoke feelingly Of executive invasion.
There might. I say have been charges
brought just as readily against Senator
Teller.
ANY man in public life who has
policy challenges the ruling Of the peo-
pie. who, thank God, ars still the rulers
in this country"
John Wesley himself, while insisting
on the theory Of Render unto Caesar
the things that are Caesars" showed
in his own conduct on public questions
all the courage that is fitting in the
citizen Of a free country.

Harwood were the attorneys for Diehl.
