Chatty Stories OF the Day

During the French Revolution a thief and a marquis
joted in tubr side by side through the void streets
Of Paris, on the way TO the guotine while venerable
priest tried 70 console their terrible ride with moral
reflections.
"A bss la noblesse Down with the aristocratsl"
shouted the redcapped mob. Thereupon the thief rose
in the cart and cried
My friends you deceive yourself am not an aris-

THE FIGHT AGAINST CANNON.

It seems that Speaker Cannon's great strength
has been like deck of cards. The insurgents
push and the house topples. It looks as il the
day of the Speakers reckoning had come Party
lines cannot be held intact and the party caucus
is powerless to control
It would have been better had Speaker Cannon
gracefully retired some months ago. A few
more knocks will probably make the Speaker
believe what he refuses to see-that he has had
his day. The upset of the Speaker in the var
ious skirmishes during the last few weeks merely
shows that the Speaker cannot be Gar unless
the members of Congress permit him to assume
that role. By all means the best thing for the
Republican party would be for the Speaker to
eliminate himself as a disturbing element The
party is too big to have "Cannonism7 made a
bone Of contention.

FuT1LE ASSAULT ON LEVY COURT.

II He New Castle County Levy Court will not
i be worried by any attacks made upon t
BY the opposition newspaper. Admitting that
in this age Of progress the court is doing nothing
out of the way in deciding to purchase automo-
bies for county use, the critic thinks that the
members of the court are not to be trusted with
the care Of the cars. 1t intmates that they
have some sinister purpose leading to eXtrava-
sance in ordering the machines, and that they
merely desire to be eXtravagant-that 1t is an
Organization court and the efore no good can
come of 1t.
The New Castle County Levy Court is, how
ever. proof against such attacks. 1t stands on
solid ground 1t neols no extended defense
Every one knows that the Levy Court, during
the last few yeas, has been well conducted
body, which has shown no symptoms OF miscon-
duct or extravaganza. Everything by the court
has been done in business-like manner. Those
who remember the old Democratic Levy Courts
and their way OF doing things will not be de-
ceived by hings at the present court or the court
during the last few years.One thing certain IS
that the people of New Castle County arc not
going to turn over the management OF the county
affairs to the Democrats Why should they?
Assuming, for the sake of argument, that the
indefinite and general charges of extravaganza
against the Levy Court were true, would
the taxpayers gain anything by putting the
Democrats in power? The first thing the
Democrats would do if their return to authority
be to increase salaries and to violate the law in
such a manner that they would be- on occasion,
condemned by their present defender The
people have had all they want OF Democratic
Levy Courts in this county.
During the last campaign the Democrats ac-
cused the Republicans of extravaganza and
promised all sorts of reforms. The Democrats
got control Of one branch of the Legislature
they have the Levy Court in Kent, and they are
in power in this city. Have they done anything
to warrant the trust the people reposed in them?
Behind the general assault on the Republicans
IN ali three counties is the glimpse of the Sena-
torisl fight, the desperate effort to defeat for
reelection the present senior Senator That is
the kernel in the nut and hence the wild beating
OF the tree. the attack upon the Levy Court of
this county and the casting of suspicion upon It
that in the purchase of automobiles the court
has only in mind wanton extravaganza. A slen-
der thread this is on which to hang criticism.
Tt will break because of its foolishness.

There is one incident connected with
the Presidential campaign of 1872 when
my father was running for recollection
against Horace Greeley. the Liberal Re
publican candidate. that 1 remember viv-
idly" said General Fred d. Grant to me
the other day.
you may remember that the North
Carolina State election OF 1872, which was
held in the summer, attracted great
deal Of attention I'm all parts Of the coun-
try. That was because Of the widespread
belief that It would furnish a good indica-
tion OF how the tresidential election In
November would go--whether my father
would be reelected, or Horace Greeley
would be victorious. At that .time. you
know, North Carolina was under recon-
struction, and In the control Of the Re
publican party element or eiements I
should say, for the fight was between the
two wings Of that party

HIGH MORALS IN AMERICA

Commission.

r. Newton Crane, senior counsel to

told the royal commission on divorce
in England recently that there Is .
higher standard of morality In Amer
lea than in England.
He admitted that divorce is more
prevalent in this country than in any
other country In the world except
Japan, but %contended this was dur
to the fact that persons Of ,respfecta-
bility had come to regard divorce al
a firmly established institution, de.
signed to cure unhappiness.
J. A. Barratt, Of counsel to tho
American embassy, pointed out that
there are more varied cRnses for df.
vorce in European countries than in
the United States. In Austria "in-
vincible aversion" in Hungary "yexa.

gality and violent disposition" in Swe-
