Senator Faulkner, chairman of the demo- cratic congressional committee, proclaims a danger ahead which It is well worth any man's while to consider. He expresses the fear that, as things are going, this cam- patgn may develop itto a contest between the poor and the rich: or, as the phrase of the day puts It, between the masses and the classee Mr. Faulkner deplores this, and with reason. All men shou’ deplore it. should endeavor to avert such a Calamity it would be, for if In any ccuntry on the globe the interests of labor and capital are united—are Interde- pendent—they are so united in this country. No injury of a serious or lasting character could happen to either without being deeply felt by the other, and the man who seeks to array the one against the other is a public enemy. Mr. Faulkner lays the blame of the situa- tion at the door of the republicans. He ac- euses them of openly consorting with and championing the aggregated wealth of the nation, and in that way adding to the sus- picions and the discontent of the farmers and the wage-earners, who are poor. The republicans lay the blame at the door of the democrat populistic coalition, which, they charge, Is intlaming the passions of the Missatistied ang appealing to the discon- tented of all parties and sections, and prom- ising everything in the name of cheap money and reform. They assert that the Promise of the coalition, summed up, is but an irreverent paraphrase of the most sacred of all promises: Come unto silver all ye who are discontented and in debt, and your all be wiped out, and you yourselves our feet again. It may be just as weil to subordinate this onsibliity for the time being. Self 1s serious enough; to deal with it is business enough. The responsibil- ity, as is often the case, may with justice probably be shared by both parties. But if it is true that developments are such as to threaten a clash between labor and capital, with control of the country itself as the stake, patriotic men of both parties should exert themselves to turn the campaign back into legitimate chanr There is no sort of Warrant in this country for such a strug- sle. War upon property is a war upon right, . equally so, war upon labor is a War against humanity. Both are entitled to protection, and both shouid receive protec- tion. reover, the divisions are not upon the of property and poverty. There are n men on both sides, and there are poor men on both sides. A good strong partisan- ship is a quality to be desired. It is the basis of governmental progress. But par- usanship which would emoroil the whole vountry in order to win, and sow the seeds Fevoluuion for temporary advantage, needs not only to be checked but eradicated. es Delaware Harshness, mt or Delaware seems determined zo prove to the satisfaction of the civilized world that the Delaware conditions as to the admin- istration of law are even mor= oppressive at the close of the nineteenth century than were those that existed in Massachusetts when Mark Hopkins was the vitch finder of that colony. In the town af Dover, which is in Kent county, the authorities continuc to imprison those persons who believe in the single-tax sys- tem and who are bold enough to declare their faith to such people as will stop on the street to listen to them. Thirty days in jail has been the punishment so far aeccrded those who insist upon their right to the exercise of free speech, but there ts more of harskness tn store for the sin- sle-taxers unless public sentiment speed- ily brings about changes that are much to be desired. Yesterday’ the levy court of Kent county unanimously authorized and directed the county clerk to advertise for proposals “for services of the tramps and single-taxers” who are now or who may hereafter be impriscned. The invita- tion for proposals provides that the highest and best bidder is to have the services of hese men to work on the streets or roads of the county. Delaware will deserve to be known all over the globe as the least intelligent of otr commonwealths unless it speedily reverses its decision as to the manner in which the advocates of the single tax, or any other variety of taxa- tien that does not happen to accord with the Delaware Idea, shall be treated ——__ ee Speedy Trials Should Be Had. Very few courts of law in this country have their dockets anything iike up to date. In some citi¢s thousands of evil-doers have sene unpunished because it was not possible for the courts to dispose of all the cases sent to them by grand juries. Nearly two score Indictments were yesterday nolle prossed in this city because, through lapse of time and other facters, essential wit- nesses have died or ctherwise removed from this jurisdiction. Convictions in these cases being no longer possible, the District attorney bas removed them trem his program of business to be attended to. In some instances trials weuld probably have resulted in yer- Hets of “not guilty,” but the chances are, had the indicted persons been speedily that some crimirals now at large would have been justly punished. ‘The moral is plainly to | The force of judges and pros: ofilcers should be ample to meet the co: 3 which are so conspicu- ousiy displayed in this wholesale libera- tion of those whom grand juries had ieemed worthy the attention’ of judge and jury > eo —___ One of the unusual features about the sonference of Mr. Platt and Mr. Hanna is that ncbedy has undertaken to assure the public that it was merely a social cail. ———++2—____ The Horor of Naturalizetion. If all United States judges would do as Justice Cole did yesterday when he re- fused to issue naturalization papers to two Italians who were wholly ignorant of the Constitution of the United States and whose knowledge as to our form of govern- ment was so vague as to be practically valueless, there would be less reason for the sneers with which foreign nations so frequently meet any mention that may be made cf American citizenship. Unfortun- ately, though, there are a great many caré- less judges on the bench and the result is an increese in the number of American cit- izens whose ignorance of American institu- tions is one of the dangers against which the law as it now is provides no defense. In some of the larger cities—notably in New York—applicants have been natural- ized just as coffee is ground in a mill— thoughtlessly and with no other object in view than the speedy conclusion of the job. Philadelphia was once a great sinner in this respect, but during recent years the practice has been revolutionized, so that now it is not eesy for one not worthy of citizenship to secure a certificate of nat- uralization. This is precisely as it should be. Citizersh!p is an honor that ought not to be lightly bestowed; easily secured it is frequently regarded as being of but little value except in cases of emergency, and then only, as a rule, in the country of which tho naturalized citizen is a native. Naturalization is in direct line with the principles of self-preservation; its advan- tages shculd only be placed in the hands of those who have, by reasonable educa- tion, proved themselves worthy of being accepted as citizens of the republic. —_>+o—__ Responsibility and Remuneration. Out of the testimeny given before the coroner’s jury engaged in investigating the Atlantic City railroad horror, interesting and instructive conclusions may already be reached, although the jury has not yet completed its work. It will not be ques- tioned that so far as mechanical devices were concerned, the cressing where the slaughter took place was well guarded. There were signals enough and there was what appears to be an admirable system of interslocking switches. So far as the pro- tection offered the public went, it reached the present altitude of human ingenuity. But while sufficient cash expenditure had been made as to the mechanism which, secondarily, did the work, little attention was paid to the factor of human fallibility. ‘The massacre on the meadows last Thurs- day was not caused by the man on duty in the switch-tower, but those people who have read the evidence must have won- dered at the safety which attended the passing of thousands of trains. The man in the tower combines the duty of switch- man and telegraph operator. He is sup- posed to be actively engaged for twelve hours a day, seven days a week; he is paid $40 a month. The marvel is that the num- ber of lives sacrificed in railroad travel is so small. —__+ «= _____ There has been a marked increase in the force at work on the new city post-office building. Yesterday the number of toilers was only two hundred and twenty. Today the authorities proudly announce the pres- ence and activity of two hundred and twenty-five. —_~e+____ Probably Mr. Bryan will be able to show that some of the rather feeble speeches which he made shortly after his nomina- tion are due to the fact that he nas been saving himself for an overwhelming ora- torical effort at the notification. New York regards the proposition of the western farmer to pay debts with a 16 to 1 dollar as a palpable effort to get even for some of the gold bricks that are sold from time to time in the metropolis. ——— —<—— The advantages he will derive from the failure of the Moore Brothers indicates that young Mr Gould !s a much more suc- cessful match-maker than the elderly Mr. Vanderbilt. —_—_+ + +___ Before he returns home after his notifi- cation, Mr. Bryan should try to’meet The- odore Roosevelt and compare notes with his rival as to the most disliked man in New York. —_—_—_~> e»—______ It will be interesting to see just how far the middle-of-the-road populists will un- dertake to dispute the right of way with the Bryan-Sewall band-wagon. ————_+e—___ SHOOTING STARS. A Sign of Familiarity. “Does young Whittle know much about politics?” “Yes, I think he does. He has had sev- eral chances to run for office and didn’t do it.” Im Doubt. “It does seem like that feller is mighty anxious to git ‘lected ter somethin’ thet hez a salary attached to it,” baid the rural politician. “Thet’s so. I can't make up my mind which he’s doin’, workin’ fur our principles or tryin’ ter make our principles work fur him.” Insom A man gits mad when the baby cries, An’ says thet it’s fur from fun; But he'll stan’ all night "Neath a street-lamp’s light A talkin’ “sixteen ter one “We dissolved partnership, the dairyman. “But he was altogether too punctilious.”” “I suppose he wanted to give more than there was any necessity for.” “That's just it. He was the most im- practical man I ever saw. Why, sir, he wented to go to the expense of Maving the well water analyzed once or twice a year, sc's to be sure there wasn’t anything in it that ‘ud make the customers sick!” A Puzzling Phenomenon. “I'll give it up,” said the scientist. “The action of sunlight is too much of a mystery for me to solve.’ “Have you been trying to account for some of the changes that take place in photography?” “No. That's hard enough to understand. But it's easy compared to the problem that I have undertaken to solve. I’ve been try- ing to find out why it is that on Saturday afternoon a man'li sit down under an elec- tric fan with his shirt-collar open and say the heat won't let him do a stroke of work, and the next day put on a sweater and ride his bicycle thirty-seven miles between the hours of 10 and 4, and never say a word about the weather.” An August Impression.

No excuse can be alleged in Maryland for the frequency of shcotings and lynch- ings. It is one of the oldest states in the Union, and has good laws and officers. But, judging by recent transactions, brutal crimes are certainly on the increase. The delay in bringing offenders to justice, and the possibility of their escape by reason of the ponderous and slow-working machinery of the law, may have something to do with it. Whatever may be the cause, these murders are sericusly injuring the state’s reputation. It is an umortunate condition of things when a sheriff is compelled to bring a prisoner to Baltimore to prevent kis being lynched before the time for trial arrives. Two farmers in Harford have a talk about Property, and bad blood shows itself. Al- most instently one shoots down the other with a gun. In Prince George’s a man in his own home is shot dead by assassin at mid- night. Nothing worse than this could hap- pen in the wildest parts of the west. For the sake of the state’s reputation these murders must be stopped. The surest way to stop them is to execute the law on the offenders in the severest manner, and as speedily as possible, THE EVENING STA WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1896¢—TEN’ PAGES, =a SHOE PRICES — CUT AGAIN! ‘We don't expect you to pay full prices in August.
