A sIpnincnnt Choice.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
The election of Anthony Higgins Il
the United States Senate Is more than
ordinarily significant Mr.. Higgins will
hold the double honor Of being the FIRST
Republican senator from Delaware and
the FIRST since reconstruction from any Of
the states in the "solid South He is
therefore a sign Of the times that stands
to be read afar of. In his election Della.
ware breaks the bonds Of the Salisbury
family, throws off the letters of blind
conservatism and joins the march Of
progress. He Is among the first fruits Of
the new era that has begun for the South.
Though geographically almost Northern
state, Delaware has alwaysv been, like
Maryland, fervently loyal to Southern
ideas and Southern leaders. Her election
OF Republican Senator is as great a tri-
umph in its way as would be a similar
election in the most ultra Southern state.
II is welcome as the first fruits Of the
harvest Of political reform that will be
gathered in the next few years. as enlight-
eminent and education follow the indus
trial delopment OF the South.

Lancaster Pa New Era.
The election OF Anthony Higgins. as
United States Senator from Delaware, is
more than triumph for the minority
party Of the Diamond State. It's sub.
ject for congratulation by honest men Of
all parties who desire to see bread and
clean men ia the Senate. Mr.. Higgins
is conceded BY all who know him to be
the foremost man in this respect to be
found among the Republicans Of the
state and is without a peer among his
political opponents. That there can be no
doubt Of this is manifest from the
tributes paid him by representa-
tatives Of the party which opposed him.
The Philadelphia Times declares his cleo
ton "a triumph Of the best political
forces of our time over the worst. Of
character and merit over bossism and
Doodle, and il gives TO Delaware a repre-.
sentative IN the Senate of the United
States who will reflect honor upon his
state"
Mr.. Higgins Of Delaware, will bring an
accession of wit to the United States
Senate. He has achieved reputation
for after-dinner speeches second only to
that Of the other Yale graduate with the
glass leg who lives in New York.

layed, however, and has now dropped
out or mind. BY curious coincidence
| another elephant named Chief was killed
at Philadelphia at about the time set for
the judicial murder of the Cincinnati
beast. But the Philadelphia Chief was
choked to death by two elephantine COM
panions.
Chief has committed almost ns MANY
murders as the notorious Prado, who
was recently guillotined at Paris,
France. Indeed. Chief has won the
title Of imam killer, and within the past
few months has become so vicious that
despite the fact that an elephant of his
size is worth $4,000, his owners have
determined to prevent his manning or
killing any more keepers by executing
him.
In the Same circus as Chief there Is
an elephant called Mary. She has been
with the Robinsons for forty wears and
Is nearly a hundred years old. She Is very
docile and grateful for small favors,
such as an apple or q piece Of candy.
Formerly Mary used to manage Chief.
When he would become mischievous she
would administer whipping that cured
him Of his tricks for months. Now, even
Mary Is afraid Of him, and as FOR the
other elephants they oil let him alone.
Chiefs first murder was Of John King.
his keeper, at Charlotte, n. c., in 1870.
King was very fond Of Chief and would
never whip him, therefore the murder
showed not only bloodthirstiness, but in
gratitude, and had Chief been brought to
trial and convicted the Judge would
doubtless have discoursed on this in his
sentence. Indeed the elephants vicious
character was manifested two months
before the murder Of King. A email
boy who wanted to sec the circus, but
objected TO the admission fee, crawled
under the tent lie didn't see the cir
Gus. but he saw the elephant TO his
hearts content. BY mistake he got ia
aploqg l5e big brutes, and right under
Chief. Chief etrpck the prchin with
his trunk and vas about 70 crush him
with his head-Chief's emotional insanity
always leads him into this means Of
murder-when Old Mary discovered the
situation. She broke her chains, rushed
over TO Chief, knocked him aside. picked
up the boy with her trunk and held him
away from his would be murderer.

WE reprint this morning an editorial
on senator-elect Higgins from the
smyrna Times, the original and only hon
est Massey organ, which is entirely good
natured, but is based largely on mis-.
conception Of Mr. Higgins's political
course in the past. The Times has a
glimmer Of the true reason for Mr. Hig-
gins's selection, whom it speaks Of his
choice as ''anatural selection. A greater
than the Times said yesterday at Dover:
They call It an accident, but it was the
logical result of the situation. This
gentleman, who was candidate himself
said further 1t was the only outcome Of
thestruggle that promised harmony to the
party" The Times closes its editorial with
a warm tribute TO Mr. Massey because of
his alleged dignifed attitude during the
fight A great deal has been heard Of
this from Mugwump and Democratic
sources. The truth Of the matter is quite
the opposite Mr.. Massey personally saw
every m ember Of the General Assembly.
His lieutenants in his name had pledged
every Federal Office in Delaware. One
member was to have been postmaster and
his son clerk at Washington. A Sussex
member was visited by one Of these
trusty lieutenants on Sunday aud was
told with authority to name his own price
for his vote. Another member who voted
for Massey against the united opinion Of
all the Republicans in his hundred was
promised a position in the Coast Survey
Department. If this is not sufficient for
the information Of Mr. Massey's delnded
editorial friends the EVENING JOURNAL
can furnish them with fuller history Of
their idols methods

fore the arts of Tyre had con-
troll of the Glasgow spinners,
before color, figure, and quail
ity had made dress Ginghams
the stuffs to rave about, before
Paragon frames gave lightness
and strength to the Umbrellas
which they stretched.
Wouldn't it be a pretty con
ceit for Chumley to carry a
Scotch Bingham Umbrella as
he waits upon Miss Flora with
her stunning Scotch Bingham
Gown next Summer. But
Chumley needn't tell her that

The color is navy blue, darkest
