WHY WAS 1T NOT JUSTIGEGRAY
Delaware's Senator Passed By the

the Senate as an Administration
Defander

Delaware's Senator Passed BY the
President-He Was Too Useful In
the Senate as an Administration
Defender.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune on Monday wrote:
1.-TWO men came at once into
prominence as highly available for the
nomination. Senator Gray of Delaware and
Senator White of louisiana Mr., Gray's
friends have long counted upon his promo
ton to the Supreme bench, and he was
| thought almost certain to secure place
when Mr.. Hornblower was rejected in
January After the second failure of the
administration last Friday to get New
York nominee through the Senate, it
seemed only natural that the President in
abandoning New York and the second
should go across into the Third circuit and
select the Democratic Senator from that
jurisdiction most fitted to serve with credit
in the Supreme Court. As has been said
frequently in these dispatches Mr. Gray's
fitness for the justiceship was undisputed
administration and ofMr. Cleveland's per-
sonal fortunes had clearly entitled him to
expect the promotion which his friends
claimed for him, and which he is under
stood to have eagerly desired. MIR. Cleve-
land, is however unhappily disposed to re-
gard service of any sort done in his interest
as sufficient reward in it self To the doer, is
said to have considered Mr.. Gray too useful
at present in Senate to dispense with his
aid as an apologist and special pleader for
the administration vulnerable policies.
The Delaware lawyer was, accordingly,
again passed over, in spite of his greater
merit and longer service, for Mr.. White,
perhaps the next best champion of cuckoo
measures in the rather scanty ranks of the
administration senators. 1t was remarked,
indeed to day, that Mr.. Clevelands ingrati-
tude to his ablest defender in the ''delibera-
tive branch" was made more fragrant
from the fact that for the last two months
Mr.. Gray has been kept busy endeavoring
to conceal the the blunders of the Presi-
dents Hawiian policy beneath a mass of
ingenious sophistries, Mr.. White has failed
even to raise his voice in support of Liliuo-
kalani and her moral right" to the throne
of Hawaii, and has occupied himself
chiefly in scheming to defeat the admins
tration's tariff bill, bulldozing the Finance
Committee "Steerers'' with the threat to
vote against unless liberal measure of
protection were guaranteed to Louisiana
sugar interests. 1t is whispered indeed,
Mr.. Whites appointment to day may have
been largely due to a feeling on the part of
the friends OH the Wilson bill that its
chances of passage might be improved if
the senior Louisiana senator were gotten
out of the way and some less active and in
fuential advocate of the sugar interest |
should replace him on the Louisiana dele
cation in Congress. Be this as it may, the |
of the appointment plainly |
indicate that with Mr.. Cleveland the ways
of political preferment are pretty sure to be
as strangely illogical as they are often
devious

from the day that Congress met until now
the Democratic leaders nave utterly failed
to command the confidence of the country
in their ability to govern it. If they would
save themselves and their party they must
speedily rise to the dignity and duties of
statemanship. If they shall not be able to
do SO the Waterloo of Tuesday last is only
the beginning af the end of Democatic rule.

is far superior, especially this evening. The

satile stars in their respective lines and
capable of giving a tip-top show. Their

safely say is wonderful cure for all dis
eases of the stomach, liver and kidneys, and
can cheerfully recommend it to all suffering

PATRIOTIC SONS OF DELAWARE.

Seventy men who were born in the State
of Delaware and who now are residents of
New York city sat down to the fourth an
nual dinner of the Delaware Society at
Sherry's last evening. Previous to the din
ner the following officers for 1894 were
elected: President, H. B. Stapler; first vice
president. John B. Moore; Second vice pres
ident. Wilson L. Cannon; treasurer, s. L.
Chamberlain; secretary, 8. e. McGonigal.
The toasts which followed the menu were
unusually numerous and interesting.
Rev Robert s. MacArthurs who spoke on
things: 1.-THE political boss of the city is
near his overthrow. We must rebuke the
indifferentism which is manifested around
us. One of the worst uses to which the
American flag can be put when it has been
raised in the interest of freedom is to be
pulled down. The present Administration
is going contrary to the whole history of
the Democratic party in its opposition TO
the Hawaiian question. But the time Is
coming when, with the consent of the peo-
pie of America, the American flag will be
raised on those islands and none dare to
pull it down."
Hon. John w. Vrooman, who spoke upon
the early settlement of Delaware, contra
dicted history by saying that the Holland
Dutch settled Delaware, instead of the
Firms and Swedes. He said: 'The Holland
Dutch settled there in 1929, purchasing the
land from the Indians, as could be proved
by documents in the State library at AL
bany'" Hon. E. B. Harper, ex-president
the society, responded to an impromptu
toast.

animation revealed the true state of
affairs and Miss Qlinn admitted thai
she had taken 4 dose of aloes that a
midwife living on the Boulevard had
prescribed for her.
She was suffering much plin, heI
condition being rendered more danger
Gus by an attack of bronchitis. Later
