The free men of Delaware passed
their verdict Tuesday upon the gravest
Issues that could come before them for
their solution at the polls; issues which
involved the success or failure of our
system of self government and our
theory that that system of government
should be so administered as to promote
the greatest good of the greatest num-
Der and their verdict goes forth to swell
the tidal wave of popular uprising all
over the land which has belched forth
in thunder tones the determination of
American freemen to guard and main
tain the constitutional rights that have
come down TO them from the patriots
who fought under Washington on many
bloody field. The American people
are sometimes slow to move, but when
the crisis came they stood forth to meet
1t and TO teach the party of force bills
and Reed rules and Mckinley plutoc-
racy that the United States are, after
all, democracy--a government Of the
people, for the people and by the people
The battle here was holly contested
The Republican managers scrupled at
nothing to win. The forces Of centrali-
hation, Of usurpation, of Higginism, Of
doodle, Of intimidation-all the powers
and weapons at their command, were
welded with the energy Of desperation.
But the contest has been won and Della
ware has chosen, by a good majority, to
stand by the principles which have
weathered the trials of hundred years
and to send TO the halls Of national leg
islation man whose voice and vote
will never be shackled by all the
Tom Reeds that ever breathed
1.-THE breath Of life. We tender
our heartfelt congratulations to
Goyernor-elect Robert j. Reynolds,
the honored and honest farmer Of South
Munderkill; to Congressman-elcct John
w. Causey, who will go TO Washington
TO sit in a dcliberative body with fellow
Democrats enough to keep il delihcra-
Tive; to the Democratic lcgislators-elcct
who will free their state from the cor
ruption Of imported fiat" from Phila
delphia; to all who have fought and
won, as well as TO the Democratic candi
dates on our own county ticket, if such
there be, who have done their best and
failed TO win.

rrnur ~. ENGINE.
The Engineer and FiNman Grappie In
Death Struggle.

A fight 10 the delth between the
engineer and fireman of an express train,
shedding through the country ut night,
is "a bold conception of modern
novelist.
The fireman is Jealous Of the engineer
one night, crazcd with drink, he heaps
on fuel until the hoileg is likely to ex-
plode. The engineer pleads with him,
then cXpostulates, and a, last attempts
to prevent further addition. Then the
fireman grappes the engineer and tries
to throw him from the engine, terrible
struggle ensues. The fight is for life
They speak no word, but with teeth
clenched, strive one to precipitate the
other to the ground,
Meanwhile the train rushes on. The
engineer, finally growing weak, endeav-
ors to reach the regulator, to stop the
train and summon help. Too latel The
crazed fireman guesses his plan, stitfens
himself to superhuman effort, lifts the
exhausted engineer from his feet, cX-
claiming:
"Ah, you want TO stop the trainl Now,
out you GO"
With this he filings the engineer out
hut the latter clings to him, he cannot
shake him off; so both go out together!
Drawn under the wheels, they are found
he0dless, two bloody trunks clinging in
a death embrace And the train, un-
governed, rushes on in the darknessl
Here the story ends; the fate of the
train is left to the imagination. 1t is easy
to see that the chances are hundred TO
ono il rushes ON TO destruction. So with

EUROPE'S PEACE.
A Proposed international Conference to
Preserve the Triple Alliance.

BERLIN, March 24.-It Is stated that the En-
peror William has notified Emperor Francis
Joseph and King Humbert that the triple alli-
ance will not be disturbed by the resignation of
Prince Bismarck.
VIENNA March 24-It is reported that Count
kalnoky. the imperial prime minister, has sug-
Emperor William, Emperor Francis Joseph and
King Humbert as the only means of allaying
the anxiety prevailing in Austria and Italy in
regard to the situation arising from Prince
Blsmarcks resignation. 1t is hoped that En-
peror William will agree to attend such a con-
ference and that he will bring with HIM Gen.
Won Caprlyl, the new chancellor. Count
Kalnoky and SignOr Crispi, the Italian prime
minister. would also be present at the
conference In case Chancellor won
Caprivi attended. The Austrian gov
ernment considers that Emperor Williams
declinatiOn to attend such conference would
cause trouble and uneasiness throughout
Europe; especially would this be the case in
the Balkan states, in regard to which il is re-
ported that the governments of Russia and
Germany will make an agreement at the ex-
pense of Bulgaria.
BERLIN, March 24.--The emperor has made
the following appointments: Count Eulenbury,
to be minister Of the interior; Herr Miguel, to
be minister of finance; Baron Huene, to be min
lister OF agriculture, and Gen Goldz, to be min

WHEAT In ILLINOIS.
There Was Big Loss by the Recent
Cold Weather.

SPRINGFIELp, ILL, March A.--To meet the
demand on the Illinois state board of agricul-
ture 'or information concerning the growing
wheat crop circular was addressed to the
various counties of the state for the condition
OF wheat and fruit since the recent unfavor-
able weather. Time enough has elapsed since
the bitter freezes of the second week of the
month for those familiar with wheat growing
to make reasonably fair estimate Of the dam
age done in their vicinity. That the crop,
taken a whole, has been very materially
damaged there can be no doubt but the ex-
tent of the injury depends much upon the
variety of the wheat, the character Of the soil
and manner the and time Of seeding.
The Fultz variety has been injured to an
alarming extent. while the ''old red wheat has
pulled through in moderately fair condition
1t should be borne in mind, however. that the
Fultz is the popular grain in central and
southern Illinois, where a large per cent of
the wheat Of the state is raised Much of the
wheat was weakened by being covered with
water during the few warm days of the month
which were immediately followed by A cold
snap That sown in corn has the appearance
of Being in better condition than any other.
Apples have been but slightly damaged i'm
that portion of the state from which most of
the market supply comes. Peaches are nearly
all killed, ss they were within few days Of
budding when the frosts came. While pears
and cherries have been touched there is still
good prospect for a fair crop. Strawberries
are but little damaged
