covetous bull dogs are growing and

thoroughbred brindle bull dog, ne gives
notice to his bigger opponent that he 10
not to be trihed with Massey, the little

corner waiting until the big dogs have
fairly Joined battle, when he proposes to
slip around and secure the bone From

Addicks's paw was strong enough TO pre-
vent Higgins from approprlating the

The Napoleon Revival.
I'm the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
We have noticed IN the newspapers In
various parts OF the country disparaging
remarks upon the revival Of interest In the
career OF Napoleon Bonaparte We have
read that he might better be forgotten
and that the magazines which we're de-
voting considerable space TO him could
be employed In business that would be
more profitable to their readers Now,
we desire TO disagree with the people
who hold these opinions. SO long as the
world lasts the career OF Napoleon will
repay the careful study Of men who de
sire to understand the history of nations
and the forces which have been inhuen
tiRl In the shaping Of events. Whatever
may be the exact place which Napoleon
will take when the final verdict upon him
has been found by succeeding genera

DeIsware'a Republican governor.


There are interesting questions raised
as to Governor Marvils chirography
The questions Of its beauty, its style its
CHARACTERISTICS, even it's clearness and
legibilIty are questions Of out minor i'm
portance. All these pale into toinsignlhcsnce
before the mighty interrogation which Is
agitating the placid bosoms Of not only
those who live in this commonwealth,
but the greater psrt Of the eastern slope
as we'll, as to whether or not Governor
Marvil can write at all.
Let us suppose that Governor Maryil
cannot write There are many who would
survey this state Of affairs with lenient
eyes. Assuredly his pen did not place
him In office 1t is safe to predict that It
will not drive him forth. Delawares
governors. as rule, have not been H.
literate men, but sometimes II is wisdom
itself to establish precedent Had not
Robert J Reynolds been so ready with
his pen, then would not the doors Of
Delaware's jalls been flung open wide,
allowing murderers and hardened crimi
nails to walk forth free men
Governor Marvil did not read his IN
augursl address. The omission excited
some speculation, and straightway the
intelligence was flashed TO Philadelphia
paper, with the additional information
that the governor could neither read nor
write. Naturally the appearance Of that
paper caused a great stir among the
politicians, great and small, assembled At
Dover. The Legislature condemned the
paper as rejecting upon the governor.
Mr. Higgins wrote letter TO the editor
Of the Philadelphia paper, assuring him
that Governor Marvil can write, and a
far better and more leeible hand than
Mr.. Higgins himself. OF course the
paper published Mr.. Higgins's denial.
But In one OF It's headlines II expressed
its own private opinion thus The
statement that Delaware's executive Is
illiterate provokes a discussion, but the
governor himself writes no denial
As matter Of fact, the governor can
write tits safe to assume that he can
read also But he is victim Of heart
disease in its most perilous form. And
on this account. solely. bis physicians
advised him to refrain from delivering
the inaugural message, which would
prove to him very trying ordeal
The Republicans are having very
hard time Of 1t anyhow They are hav-
ing demorslizlng fight over the senator.
ship and they have on their hands gov
ernor whose tenure OF life is very uncer
tain, and who may seek another world
without moments warning They are
rightfully anxious over this matter, for
should Governor Warvll die, Mr. Watson,
the Democratic speaker Of the Senate,
would FIJI the vacancy for the remainder
Of the term Of four years Naturally,
they want above all things to keep Gov
ernor Marvll alive-at least until he 6lls
the appointments at his disposal
But We wish the governor more good thar
that. Now that he IS In office, we wish
him successful administration, with !
long, happy and prosperous life tc
