The reign of the rebel Brlgadier In
the House seems TO be fast dying out.
At the close of the war, of course, there
were none in the House, but after the
reconstruction period all you had to
do was tn scratch the back OF a South
ern Senator or member to find rebel
Bfngadier, or at least one holding some
rank in the Confederate army. OF
course, there were some exceptions to
this, as some portions OF the South
were loyal and sent Union men. The
States that went into rebellion, thir-
teen in number, have now $50 members
In both branches of Congress, vet a
majority of them did not serve In the
Confederate army. This has been a
great falling of, and it all has taken
place i'll the past twelve years. The
Congressional Directory" shows that
there are now but twelve rebel Brig
adiers in both Houses. OF this number
Alabama contributes three. Senator
Morgan and congressman Wheeler and
Forney; Georgia one in Senator Col
quit; Florida one In Congressman
Bullock; South Carolina two In Sena-
tors Hampton and Butler; North Cara
lima one In Senator Ransom; Virginia
one in Congressman Lee; Tennessee
one in Senator Bate; Louisiana one in
Senator Gibson and Mississippi one in
Senator Walthall. These men all were
full-fledged Bri5adier-G Generals in the
Confederate army,

The greatest cure on earth for pain,

so run that ye may obtain" was the
text Rev. Charles Il. Murray, rector,
took at st. Andrews p. T.. church yes
terday morning, for an erudite and
Gospel sermon on 'rhe Christians
Race"
In the games of the anclents only
one could win the prize. In the gos-
pei race every one who continues faith
ful and patient to the end will receive
Grown of life." Then the prize was
of temporal value only. Here 1t is
Heaven and Eternal life. That physi-
cal contest was won by strength and
faith, life and power. This however
requires, like that. laying aside OF
the weights and following a straight
course. They had the rules and direc-
tion of the course to obey, while we
must Yield obedience to the laws and
authority of God. Their victory was
by human strength, ours by supernat-
ural power. The foregoing issthe gem

rays sermon of classic literary finish
by which his congregation appeared to
be most appreciatively entertained.
THE RENOVATION
OF this house of worship has occas-
ioned newspaper comment pro and
con. 1t Is a most substantial and de-
Sirable improvement.
1t appears to have been the whole
souled desire and purpose OF st. An
drew's people to build n permanent
and enduring missionary church In
the heart OF our city. Their labor
appears TO have been right in the line
of the self-sacrificing early years of
the bishoprick of the Right Rev. AL
fred Lee, d. D., when he did so great
work for this church. This edifice
was built In 1928 enlarged in 1910, re-
built in 1854 and substantially renov-
ated in 1890. This latest improvement
is thus described in THE Living
Church paper by Leighton Coleman,
s. I. D., LII. d., Bishop.
'The exterior of the building, with
few minor exceptions, has been un-
touched, whereas the interior has
been entirely remodeled, and presents
some rich effects In church architect
ure and decorations. Across the
chancel are three massive arches OF
carved Caen stone, of a light creamy
color, supported by four massive
columns, with flat capitals, on each
side OF which is shown the face and
wings of q cheIlIb. The wood work of
the entire interior and furnishing Is an
tique oak of very dark color. Under
the three arches are deep recesses, the
centre containing the chancel and
the organ Is under the one
on the north side of the ehancel, while
the south side is used as a baptistry
and entrance from the vestry room.

tricity is novel and beautiful In tho

gold bronze bearing 21 lamps, the bulb
Of the electric lamp being enclosed in

front and rear of the cross, are four

Was ever more hopelessly stranded
than wrecked constitution, whether
its disaster be the product of some for.
midable malady or that slow pre-.
mature decay that seems to fasten
upon some constitutions without
apparent adequate cause.
An excellent means of checking this
gradual drain of the sources OF vitality
is the beneticient tonic, Hostetter's
Stomach Bltters, which promotes dl-
substance as we'll as stamina to an
enfeebied frame. Constipation feeble
ness of the kidneys and bladder. fever
and ague and rheumatism, are among
the bodily ailments which it remedies
promptly and thoroughly. Persistence
in its use is well merited by it.

iJOtlOClttblt tObb5-
Tint Is, the Republicans have car
ried and can at any time carry the
county, but the Democratic Legisla-
ture must not permitthem to do Ii, as
they the Democrats will never get the
county back again. There were no
bayonets behind the ballots at the late
election and still the Republicans car
ried the county, and the 500 majority
they got on the Levy Court ticket
means 800 majority when the Repub-
licans are assessed and have q fair
chance. New Castle county Is Repub-
lican through and through, and moth
ing else can be made OF IL. All the
victories the Democrats have got in
the county since 1873 have been by dis
honest laws, made to disfranchise the
Republican party. Is this thing to 10
kept up longer?
let the Legislature think of this
before it passes this bill TO crush out
the voice of tho people. It Will be no
easy matter to keep u Republican ma
tority OF 1900 crushed out all the time.
They may stretch the Democratic
cloth over the whole county to
smother the Republican vote, but the
more they stretch 1t the weaker 1t will
get and the shorter it will get.
The Legislature might as we'll
acknowledge the fact that New Castle
is staunch Republican county and
cease its efforts to make anything else
out of it by unjust and tyrannlcal
laws.
Farther proof of tho intense parti-
san character Of the bill Is found in
yesterdays Sunday Stars Democratic
Glasses. These glasses, after a review
of the field from Democratic stand
point, says:
Just what kind OF a measure the
Legislature will pass Is not known.
but 1t Is certain that some change will
be made in New Castle county's sys
tenn Of government. In fact, some
thing has got to be done in order to
maintain the acknowledged and un.
disputed Democratic supremacy in
this State. This Is the strongest rea-
son for the change, although the Levy
Court system of itself Is far from sat
lsfactory and Is susceptible of large
degree OF Improvement"
Yes, something has to be done to
keep the Democrats in power. The
clamps have to lie screwed down
together The disfranchlslng mill has
to be remOdeled and now rollers put
iii that will crush the life out of the
Republican party.
Ii tho Legislature of Delaware is
wise 1t will hslt in its course, throw its
Five County Commissioner bill to the
winds, toss tho Gear" intended to sit
enthroned- upon the liberties of the
people into the oblivion of the past
and pass n decent County Commits
sioner bill of thee commissioners to
be elected at the next election and a
board of three county auditors.
