POLITICAL UNION WANTED.

The Japan Parliament Meets To-day.
LONDON, Oct. l5.-A resCript has
been issued convoking an extra
session of the japanese Parliament
at hiroshima for today to con-
tinue for seven days in order to
discuss matters requiring the sane
ton of Parliament. While the
Liberal party is in the majority
all factions are uniting to press the
war to a successful conclusion
When the last Japanese Parlia-
ment dissolved, the leaders OF the
different parties were at swords
points, but in the presence Of war
with a power of China's magni-
tude, involving the supremacy Of
the Orient, the old personal feuds
have been set aside and efforts are
being made to have all factions
represented through their leaders
in the new Japanese cabinet.
To this end it Is being urged that
Count Chuma, Count Itagaki,
Count Matsukata and Viscount
Shinagawa shall be members Of
the new cabinet, although they
have been among the most active
leaders against the government.
There are no cabinet portfolios
vacant, yet so strong is the feeling
for political union during this
emergency that it is proposed to
create new cabinet offices in order
to get their cooperation.

and he Suicides.
BURLINGTON, Iowa, Oct. 10
w. Ingraham, clerk of the District
court shot himself through the
head last night in a vault attached
to his office in the County court
house. He died almost instantly.
The dead man had served two
terms and had recently been nomi-
mated again on the Democratic
ticket. He was driven to self de-
struction through the exposure Of
his misuse of public funds. His
bondsmen were obliged to make
good a shortage of about $4,000 a
year ago. Last month he was Or
dered by the court to pay over to
the county treasurer 100000 cash
bail which had been forfeited.
There was much criticism at his
neglect to comply with the order of
the court and this was intensified
a few days ago, when on a deposit
of cash bail in another case he
made a payment OF $500 on the
first account. The bond of board of
supervisors demanded an account
ing and the Democratic County
committee demand that he with
draw from the ticket, yesterday he
could not be found. He probably
admitted himself to the court
house during the night. Mr.. In

The charge was made several days ago
that Secretary Gresham has had long
letter from President Dole to Minister
Willis in his possession more than week,
and that it was with held from the House
for fear that the terrible arraignmeht of
Willis for his double dealing since arriving
in Honolulu, which it contains, would have
defeated the cuckoo resolution which the
House was fairly driven to adopt last week,
and the charge has not been denied. 1t
certainly looks as though the administration
were determined to sink itself to the bottom
of the pit of public infamy in dealing with
Hawaii. Minister Doles letter is said to
be something like ten thousand words long
and to 60 into minute particulars concerning
the acts of Minister Willis. The admins
tration people are claiming that Senator
Morgan has been "placated" and that he
will join Senators Butler and Gray in the
majority report of the Hawaiian investga-
tion, which will jump on ex.Minister
Stevens and let paramount Blount and the
administration down easy.

A Good Use For Last Seasons Dresses.

The enormously increased price of
woman's gowns, it is claimed by the
dressmakers, is due to the portentous
size of the sleeves. Eight yards of silk
is reported as the allowance made for
these befrilled and bepulTed clements Of
the gown in Paris, which accounts per-
haps for the fashion Of using different
material for the sleeves. Anyway the
women who are dospairingly question
ing, "What shall we do with our last
seasons gowns" may find here the hap
py solution of the question-make them
into sleeves for this seasons dresses.

Washing Widows.

a good story IS being told down the
state, concerning an enterprisipo
merchant of PocOmoke CITY. Nd who
recently got himself into trouble by
the blunder Of a printer. Strange a. il
may seem, printers do sometimes make
plumbers. 1t appears that the merchant
Is manufacturer in a small wav. of a
certain kind of soap. He is also
prom nenl member in the Methodist
church OF that place, and as the WIN
GoWS OF that edliice were sadly IN need
OF washing, he thought he could kiu
two birds with one stone. In other
words he could advertise his SOAP. and
also give the Stewards a gentle re-
mlnder OF the condition of the windows
OF the church. Accordingly, he gave
an order to local printer for some cir
culars, and headed it The windows
IN our church need washing" In a few
days the circulars came to hand. and
without noticing them particularly. ne
had them distributed. About two
hours after the boy had started out,
one OF the maddest women you ever
saw rushed into his store and fairly
screamed at him: "What do YOU mean
by such an insult?" He was at loss TO
understand what the lady meant, until
she stuck one of the circulars under his
nose, and demanded read that" His
eyes fairly bulged out of his head when
he read THE widows of our church
need washing" He tried in every way
to explain the situation to the irate
dame, but it was of no avail, and my
informant tells me that all the widows
in Pocomake CITY have boycotted the
merchant, and that he is now swearing
vengeance on the printer who made
the errOr.-.Sunddy Star.

A Delaware County Farmer Held Up
and Relieved of Large Sum of
Money.

William Husbands, a farmer living
near Elan, in Delaware county, was
held up by highwaymen Tuesday
evening and robbed of $24lO all the
money he had on his clothing at the
time. The robbery took place at
lonely point in the road leading from
Elan, in Delaware county near the
State line. Husbands had been cut
making collections from the farmers of
the neighbo1hood for whom he had
worked. He was returning with the
money in his pocket
When he got within quarter of a
mile Of his home some one rushed out
Of the woods which stretches along the
roadway aud caught the horse by the
head. He was riding in small road
cart. Before Husbands realized what
had happened some one had thrown a
blanket over his head and rendered
resistance impossible Then the high
waymen ransacked his pockets and
took all the available cash he had on
his person. The highwaymen tied
Husbands up with ropes and left him
in the bushes The highwaymeu then
beat hasty retreat. After struggling
for about an hour Husbands succeeded
in freeing himself and walked to his
home, the horse having broken away
during the robbery ard gallOped off.
The matter is now in the bands of
| State Detectives Witsil and McVey
who are working on a clue which they
believe will reveal the perpetrators of
! the mysterious robbery.

Delaware's Constitution.

Not the least of the important victor
les won at the late election was that in
Delaware in favor of revising the or
ganic law of the State. The existing
Constitution was adopted in 1881, and
it restricts citizenship to tree, white
male citizens" That and other pro-
visions have been nullified by amend
ments to the Constitution of the United
States. In the Legislative appOrtiOn-
ment made by the Constitution no ac-
count is taken of population. New
Castle County. with 81 1872 population,
has precisely the same representation
in both branches of the Legislature as
Kent County, with 81, ,664 population,
or as Sussex, with S8,647. 10 other
words, the State Government is con
federacy of three counties.
New Castle County, which contains
the growing manufacturing city of
| Wilmington, is increasing rapidly in
population. In the last census period
its population increased 29,466, while
the population of Kent County de-
creased 210 and that OfSussex increased
1929. The Republicans carried New
! Castle in 1890 and elected seven mem
! bers of the House. But the other two
| counties, with combined population
of %. 5.S7l less than New Castle, elected
! fourteen Democratic members. 1t is
! this unjust and un-American system OF
representation in the Legislature, com
bined with other unfair provisions in
this Constitution of 1881, that have en-
abled the Democratic leaders to have
prevented any change.
At last majority of all the votes
have declared in favor of a new Con-
stitution. But the men who drew
up the Constitution of 1881 were evi-
IDENTITY anxious to perpetnate theiI
work, and they have made the pro
cess of changing it one of eXasperating
tediousness. The people having voted
for a convention, the Constitution pro
vides: The General Assembly shall
accordingly, at their next session, cal
convention, to consist of at least al
many members as there are in boil
houses of the Legislature, to be chosen
in the same manner, at the same places
and at the same time that Represent
atiVes are by the citizens entitled tC
vote for Representatives, on due notice
given for one month, and to omeet with
in three months after they shall b.
elected" According to that provision
delegates to the constitutional Con
Vention cannot be chosen before the
next election for members of the lowel
branch of the Legislature, which will
be in November, 1896, and thre,
months after their election they are t
meet in convention which will be IL
February, 1897.
But the convention itself will b'
practically a duplication of the Hous'
of Representatives, chosen at the SAM
time and in the same manner. With
out the voluntary REIMBURSEMENT OF
part of the unfair advantage the coun
ties of Kent and Sussex now hold M
change can be made even then in th
apportiOnment. But it is hardly pro
bable that those two counties wOul'

un-American system of representation
