STATE LEGISLATURES
STATUS OF THE SENATORIAL AND
GUBERNATORIAL CONTESTS.
Higgins Likely to Defeat Addiclxs in
Delavare-Waite Succeeded by
Gov. Mcintyre in Colorado.

DOVER, Del, Jan S-As the time for
the senatorial caucus draws nigh the fight
for the nomination grows more bitter.
There will be no compromise candidate.
Or, at least that is what the leaders of the
opposing forces say. With the Addicks
followers it is "Addicks nobody" and
with the Higgins adherents it is the same
Higgins first last and all the time. Charles
l.. Moore, of the organized leaders of
the Addcks faction, is sanguine that his
candidate will be nominated. He even goes
so far to state Senator Higgins has
more show of being the caucus nominee
than he (Moore) has. Senator Robert j.
Handy. of Newcastle county, who, by the
way, is the only man from that county
who will vote for Addicks is not so posi-
tive of success. From a purely unbiased
standpoint, it is hard to see just how Mr..
Addickss lieutenants expect to accom-
plish the defeat of Senator Higgins unless
there is some treachery in Sussex county.
Leaving Mr.. Massey out of the question,
the result of the caucus next Monday
evening will be probably as follows:
Newcastle county, Higgins. 8; Addcks. l.
Kent, Higgins. /. Sussex, Higgins, 3; Adj
dicks. 6. This will give Higgins twelve
votes and Addicks seven. OF course. there
are liable to be changes in their estimate,
but they will be very slight.

THE INTERPOLATION BILL.
It's Debate in the Reichstag Renewed
-COndemned by Herr Auer.

BERLIN, Jan. S-The Reichstag reassem-
bled to-day and resumed the debate on the
anti-revolution bill. Herr Auer said that
the government introduced this measure so
that in the event of it's expected rejection
there would be a pretext for a dissolution
of Parliament, in order to obtain from a
new Parliament increased grants for mill
tary purposes. The reason assigned for in
Producing the bill, that the existing penal
laws were Inadequate, was not warranted.
Auer declared such arguments were always
used when II was intended to curtail the
liberties of citizens. The anti-revolution
bill. he insisted, was solely directed against
the Social Democrats. He dsclaimed any
connection with Anarchists, and denied that
the Socialists were connected with the
broadsides recently cited by DR. Rierherd-
ing. Auer concluded with the assertion that
the Agrarians, anti-Semttes and lineal the
ologians could De easily struck by the bill.
Not every one agreed that there was
necessity for protecting the monarchy.
Large numbers of Germans, he added, IA
vored a republic and there was a growing
tendency towards Byzantine rule which
betokens national decadency But the work
ing classes marched forward with courage
and elaboration, while the supporters of
the bill displayed the white feather. The
debate on the anti-revolution bill will be
resumed tomorrow.
Emperor William held parliamentary re-
csptfon this evening, with the object Of en-
listing support for the anti-revolution bill

Police Sergeant Crane, the new appointee
of the Board of Safety, was given rous-

last evening. Crane replied with a speech.
Roll call, by the way, very noisy, the
officers seeming to think the failure of the
board to make any changes at the meeting
yesterday signifies that no radical changes

consequently secure. Thomas Tagart was
a caller, and OF course he was called upon
for speech. Mr.. Taggart sent about sixty
hearts throbbing with delight by saying;
Il came down here TO invite you gentle
men to my hotel for dinner A deathlike
stiffness followed this statement during
which only the throbbing of the sixty ex-

the stiffness arose the voice of an Irish pa

New Orleans Times-Democrat.

The most important missionary work that
can be and ought to be done in the South
is in the sanitation of the negro districts OF
the big cities like New Orleans. Some forty
million dollars has been given toward the
education of the colored race since the war,
and twenty odd colleges endowed for their
benefit 1t would have been far better for
the negroes had portion of the money
gone to establish their comfort, health and
longer life, for there is little wisdom in
teaching the negro youth and allowing them
to be carried off each year, as they are by
the thousands by diseases easily preventable
or durable. Can't some new blood be in
jected into the trustees of the Peabody
fund?
