THE UHTHINKISO BOOSBVBLT. The Philadelphia Press says edi torially: ; One of the campaign speeches most In demand of the Democratic Con gressional Committee Is that of Rep resentatlve Claude Eitcbin, of North Carolina, giving authentic citations from the alleged historical works of Theodore Roosevelt As In these cita tions be appears as the reckleis calum niator of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson and nearly all bis predeces sors in the Presidential office, it must be rather painful to him to see his own works thus turned as witnesses against him. - Kitchin'a speech not only shows up Roosevelt as blackening the names of former Presidents of the United States and calling them trickster politicians, but he showB that Roosevelt conld give them "two in the game" at playing the political trickster. He pillories President Roosevelt for his attitnde on the lynching of negroes for vio lating white women and shows from one of Roosevelt's books that while Theodore' Roosevelt was a ranch man out West he advocated the lynching of white men for stealing bob tailed ponies. Kltchin also shows up the flopping of RooBevelt on the tariff and exposes him in many par ticulars. The fact is, Eltchin's speech is a clear and clean exposure of Roosevelt as an author being one thing And quite another as President and politician. Tht Record, on tho line followed ' bT I&EumiiriAva!-!. Mr. Roosevelt may plead an alibi wnen cnargeu witn saying in bis lire of Benton that "a Quaker may be quite as undesirable a clUxen as a duelist" lie was not a Presidential candidate then. He had not the slightest idea that he ever would be a Presidential candidate when he wrote that border ruffianism was "not one whit worse in Its effects than were ties with cerUin 'universal peace' and non-resistance developments in the northeastern BUte. In fact It was more healthy." As Mr. Roosevelt's own friends have trailed him for sinking his Tariff Be orm convictions for the sake of a nomination from a "stand-pat" party, and for suspending his Civil Service Reform Ideas In order to get the sup port of the Republican spoilmongers. It is perfectly reasonable to believe that had he ever anticipated running for the presidency he would not have written that "no man who Is not will ing to bear arms and fight for his rights can give a good reason why he should be entitled to live in a free country." The Friends, Dunkards and Menonitesare numerous enough In certain sections to make it Inadvis able for a Presidential candidate to offer such wanton Insults as these to men who suppose that the Sermon on the Mount was Intended to be taken literally. Can he not prove a sort of alibi bv BhOWinff that when ha wrote - f V talD" he WM not running for ' i l Office t Besides, there Is a question of Iden t tlty. The Roosevelt who is running for the Presidency as a high tariff : man, with the enthusiastic support of ' Groavenor and other peddlers of pat ronage, is so different from the Roose velt who believed In a low tariff and ' Who denounced ATerv mm hn aniiaht vmkiuuiuK vjrrus- '!, I i Tfuwr "J nimevas inougn ne were a pirate, that it might be possible to ar ! i gue that he is a different person. The I -i : jPsychologisU tell us that identity lies ii 'Fresident is quite unconscious now of -entertaining views that are offensive !!' to Quakers. Drunkardi and Man Hw uitttpuDucin proclivities, and he Probably cannot remember having aid that they bad no right to live In a free country. Therefore, It may be in sisted by JIr Oortelyou that It Is an other Roosevelt. RmIIv. (tuiAm. .. fi ;T f U must be. - Upi!?

It is characteristic of him that when his sup'poaed betters let down the bars to him he gets too familiar. He forgets tho old adage that "famil iarity breeds contempt." It is a fact that in "Republican days" in Wil mingtonthat is when a few white Republicans by use of the great mass of negro voters had things their own way the negroes called their white fellows by their names without be ing respectful enough to add the handle of "Mr." It is presumed that the darkey considered that the white man who would "mix up with him was no better tlian he was. RooBevelt's receiving and dining Booker T. Washington has caused the negro everywhere to get stuck on himself, and it will no doubt be to the negro's hurt. But here comes a negro politician who Is calling the Republican nominee for Vice Presi dent by the familiar name of "Char ley." Here is an interview that is published In an Indianapolis paper: Charles Felix La Fon, national pres ident and organiser of the Afro-American National Republican League, and a negro politician well known tn rough out Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, has ar rived in Indianapolis to take part in the campaign in Indiana. In an Interview he says: . , , , "I have just organlied a league In Illinois and have received a letter of congratulation from President Roosevelt I will meet Senator Fair banks Monday and talk with him about campaign plans and will organlxe a league in Indiana. Charley and I are old friends. I used to know him when he was a country lawyer and I was a porter on the Tandalla line. I use to carry him up and down the country and I was In the dining ser vice part of the time, too. "There used to be a colored Repub lican league in Indians, but It went np after McKinley died. I am here to organize It again. The Republicans, especially the colored Republicans, have a great deal to do in this cam paign. There are the Dick and Oram packer resolutions to give us civil and equal rights, the Mann resolution to enforce amendments IS, 14 and 15 of the Constitution, the Gardner bill and my own bill to prevent peonage of our people In the south and discrimination against colored people In street cart, steamboats, etc. ' "The Republican party Is the truest friend we have had, the grand old party of Abe. Lincoln, Ffeemont, Grant Hayes, Hanna, Harrison, Wll Ham McKinley and Roosevelt In my proclamation I have asked the colored people to appeal to their churches and ask them to pray for the election of Roosevelt and Fairbanks and the entire ticket" The authorship of Dixie 1b in dispute, as we presumed wonld be the case. A' Birmingham, Ala., man writes to the Baltimore Sun to say that "the claim of the recently deceased Minstrel Emmett to the authorship of Dixie is utterly with out foundation. Old time South erners who remember the days of 1860 65, know well enough that Harry McCarthy, the Arkansas commedian, was the author of Dix ie." Yes, and if you stop to re- tMAtnkA TS I wa as nl WA-1 Iahiv KAm -frtfo lbob oo. We Cfr.. a a b.uw that Dan Emmett was its author, and we are doubtful about McCar thy, too. He might have picked It up in his Southern tours. If the reduction of wages all over the country, the numerous strikes in various industries, the discharge of railroad employes because there Is no need for their services and the hard lines in the cetton manufac turing industry are evidences of decay in prosperity, we want to know it. The Republican party claims to have produced prosperity, and it ought to be able to tell us why It can't make prosperity stay with us. The deficit in the United States treasury on Friday was 122,000,000, but on Saturday the government had a windfall in the form of 12,286 554.51, paid in by the Central Pa cific Railway Company as payment of the eleventh of its twenty notes given February 1, 1895, on account of its indebeedness to the govern ment. This payment cuts the deficit jdown to $17,390,612. Says the Raleigh Post: "The Re publican newspaper that says the signs Indicate that Harris will be elected governor is animated by a cheerful spirit of optimism." We are out of gold bricks now, but know we could get a customer in that Re publican editor. In New York a bridegroom handed a minister a liberal bank check at the altar. The check turned out to be bogus, but after all it may turn out that the bridegroom got a feminine gold brick for his share of it. Monroe Journal: In a trial before a justice of the peace here yesterday, an elderly couple were put on the stand as wit nesses in behalf of a neighbor, and It was developed that they had not spoken to each other in fifteen years.

Four Offenders Sent : by the - Mayor to the County Jail Yesterday at Noon. SOME NOTORIOUS THIEVES. Fred Hall aid Pearsall aai Wainliftoa Boys Tried for Briberies Wfcsrf. ' Hsbitaal OHeaders Qtvei Sea- tesces Bey aai Mclo'f. Several rather important eases were tried in the police court yesterday, the number of defendants having in cluded Fred Hall, the nefrro appre hended by Policeman Ohadwick on the wharf Tuesday night, and Zollle Pearsall and Clarence William, the youngsters cleverly trapped by Police man J. J." Johnson a few nights ago, when they had broken Into the peanut warehouse of Hr. W. B. Cooper, at the rear of the Western Union office. It will be recalled that the negro Hall had a bale of fancy dry OOd, which he had just stolen from the trunks of Mr. Peter McQueen, Jr., travelling salesman for Messrs. B. & B. Solomon, as Mr. McQueen was about to leave for a trip up the river on the steamer "City of Fayette vllle." Hall seemed perfectly com posed when arraigned In court and at tempted to pose aa the victim ox cir cumstances. The night before he told Policeman Ohadwick and Chief Far. long that he htd found the goods down the river while he was fishing, but yesterday he had another tale. He said that he bought the goods from a white man, paying him $3 for them. The goods, however, were identified m, those of Messrs. 0. ft B. Bolomon and It wss shown that the trunks had just been sent to the steamer's wharf. The legal doctrine of "recent 'posses sion" very well applied In the case and Mayor Springer sent the negro over in default of $100 justified bond for trial in the Superior Court the latter part of September. Hall has a. reputation for stealing from the several steamboat wharves along the river and has served one or two terms for past deeds of that kind. Chief Furlong thinks that in the ar rest of Hall be has a negro who is re sponsible for several of the petty bur glaries that have occurred in the city during the past several months. His room In "Dross Neck" wss searched Tuesday night and half a doien suits of clothes and other articles were found. The negro youngsters charged with breaking Into the warehouse of Mr. Cooper were not In a very communi cative frame of mind when brought before the Mayor. They sat and sulk ed while Officer Johnson told of how he dogged their footsteps, heard them lay their plans for breaking Into the warehouse and later saw them exe cute those plans. A clerk in the em ploy of Mr. Cooper Identified the bur laps bags stolen from the house and said that the place had been broken into several times before. Pearsall and Washington were each sent to jail In default of $100 justified bond. '.Vueen vitn," - inm.- "Dross Neck," lately returned from half a dozen sentences to the roads, was arraigned for disorderly conduct night before last In her native haunts. The evidence showed that the "Queen" on this particular occasion had been particularly boisterous and the Mayor ordered her to jail for SO days straight. Frank Mnmford, colored, who is giving Henderson Hayes a close race for being drank all the time except the 11 months of the 13 that he Is on the roads, was charged with being drunk and down. The Mayor gave him choice of "ten and costs" or "thirty days." He took the days. John McDonald, colored, drunk and disorderly, was fined $5 and costs, and W. Mercer, a sailor from the. revenue cutter, charged with being drunk and down, was given a similar penalty for Indulging In a plain "drunk and down" at foot of Chesnut street Boy Mann NIxod, a colored boy, was sent over from the Mayor's court to Justice Bornemann's tribunal. The pickaninny was charged with stealing watermelons from the farm of Mr. S. J. Davis in East Wilmington. Two other boys with Nixon got away when chased by Mr. W. K. Ennett, manager of the farm. Justice Bornemann held that the boy was an "infant" accord ing to the legal construction of the term, being under 8 years of age and not having the capacity to distinguish right from wrong. However, Justice Bornemann held that the boy was able to distinguish the watermelon, while yet afar off, and his mother was ad monished to thrash him soundly, which she promised to da HOAItlDE IS E0QEI0MBE.

The compenaatlon of registrars and Inspectors in the recent election prom ises to give life to some feeling before It is all over, the misunderstanding be log over the law which provides for their pay. The old law applicable to Wilmington said $3 per day for the registrars and judges of election, but it appears that the general law was made effective as to Wilmington after 1901' and that prescribes a compenaa tion of only one cent per name for each name transcribed from the former registration books and -Hue cents - tor each new name regis tered. If paid by that standard, with the judges of election at only f 1 per day, the expense will be greatly reduced but some faithful and constant work will go underpaid. In the mean time the law allows the Board of Audit and Finance to pay only so much and, however mueh members of the Board may reel inclined to make toe pay commensurate with the service, it ap pears that they will be unable to do so. The difficulties attending a settlement with the registrars are numerous. At the request of the Board of Audit and Finance, the City Attorney irprepar lng an opinion on the subject convrnlnt Fetters. Leo Doutsch, a Russian political exile who -was permitted to return to his home, tells In his book, "Sixteen Years In Siberia," tales not only of suffering, but of lenient treatment by his- lallcrs. In Siberian prisons often the harshness of the discipline was considerably re laxed. . On one occasion, to the vast amusement of the prison authorities Dentsch appeared before the governor wltn nls fetters tied up with a piece of string, and it appeared he had only as sumcd them for the moment But the complaisant governor was afraid of a visit from.-high quarters. "Then if an inspection is made you will be wearing vour fetters," lie asked, laughing. "Of course," replied Deutsch. "You see, I've come to you in full dress," point ing to his tied up chains. On another occasion Deutsch's bag was stolen, contained, anions other articles of It convict's attire, the indispensable fet ters, and lie had to apply for a new pair. "Take care you don't lose these!" said the officer as Deutsch packed them among his luggage. Some Very Ancient Laws. King Ainrnphcl of Babylon, who lived 2,250 years D. C, formulated a code of laws. .His statutes, which were operative five centuries before the laws of Moses, numbered 282 and contain the following: "If a woman wlio sells beverages gives bad value for the money paid her, she shall be thrown Into water. "If n wife be a spendthrift or if she otherwise neglect her duties, her hus band may put her away without com pensation, but if a man put away his wife for no other reason than that she has no children he shall return her whole dowry. "If a betrothal be rescinded, the man shall pay the woman compensation. . "A widow with grown up children may not marry again without permis sion from a Judge.'s' London Express. Some Errors of Speech. Many make the mistake of saying "I intended to have told you" or "If I had have known" instead of "I in tended to tell you" or "If I had known." I have heard the following confused sentence from one who should know better: "I should have thought that you would have gone to have seen her." The correct sentence would be, "I should think that you would have gone to sec her." It ia Incorrect to say "Those sort of things" Instead of "Things of that sort." Do not say "Ain't" for "Is not," "He don't" for "He does not" or "Not as I know" for "Not that I know" or "I have lit the lamps" for "I have lighted the lamps."

The requirements of the companies as to the number of enlisted men they must carry this year are far more stringent than ever before and there is no object disguising the fact that It will take exceedingly hard work end much cajol ing to get the necessary muster. And this connection, it Is not amiis to call the attention of employers to the value of a well-regulated military company in the community.
