Addiclss is Marching On.

Mr.. j. Edward Addicks is moving
right along in his efforts to obtain con
troll Of the Republican party organiza-
ton in Wilmington and New Castle
county. Kent and Sussex he has
eolidly, but heretofore the Higgins adj.
herents have been able to turn him
down in every primary held throughout
New Castle county, except in Brandy
wine hundred. There he is inyincible
in Republican primaries.
Friday night Mr.. Addicks triumphed
over the Republican factionalists who
had attempted TO prevent HIM from
making success Of the photograph
presentations to the Eighth ward Re-
publican League. The meeting came
off with great eclat, and the photographs
OF the late Governor Marvi and Mr..
Addicks, both handsomely framed,
were duly presented. State Senator
Robert J. Handy, Mr.. Addicks' Fidus
Achates, was on hand and made stir
ring speech, 10 which he attempted to
explain why the Republican members
of the last Legislature, after being in a
clear majority, failed to elect United
States Senator. Mr.. Addicks also made
a few feicitous remarks. A report Of
the gathering will be found in printed
in another part of to-day's paper.
These incidents are important as
showing how securely Mr.. Addicks is
fastening his grip upon the organiza-
tion of the Republican party in Della.
ware. A the indications are that by
the opening of the campaign next year
he will be in supreme and undisputed
control. Tho issue then will be clear
and without complications. II will bo
the Republican party, standing solely
and alone for j. Edward AddiclSs.
AS The Gazette" has remarked
more than once recently, "the way to
beat Addicks is 10 beat the Republican
party" All the pending local politi-
cal conditions confirm the truth of this
assertion.

Howard Crosby, president of the New
York Social Reform Club, says he has
lost all faith in diminishing intoxi
cation by law. He believes that per
suasion, example and public opinion are
the only effective weapons against

with Mr.. Crosby that influence, per.

more to suppress intemperance than all
the restrictive legislation that the mind

The Memphis "Scimetar' holds that
President Cleveland, despite the mis-.

in and out of his own party, has hold
on the people that cannot be shaken.

beset by enemies, most Of whom were
moved by personal resentment resulting
from causes very much to his credit.
From the day he took his seat as mayor
Of Buffalo to the present hour he has
been his own man. There has never
been time from the beginning of his

they carry political destines in their

York as easily as we now hear each

Of the anthropometrical system adopted

worked. is proposing to revive the use
Of the pan-tclegraph, an instrument
by which it was sought to transmit
portraits and sketches by telegraph.
The apparatus was tried in 1877, but
gave unsatisfactory results. Possibly,
with the aid of the additional light
thrown on the subject of late by Am
sutz and others, the pan-telegraph
might now be made practical. It Is
not long since the face Of an operator

The Telephone in War.

The practicability OF telephone COM
munication between all army and it's
advance scouts in time of war has
been thoroughly established, and an
army commission has been appointed
to carry out further exper ments.
An apparatus used in these tests is a
light, strong reel, upon which 1,7O9
feet OF telephone cable is wound. The
cable is of unusually small diameter
and weighing but II pounds and the
reel frame itself less than two pounds.
The wires from the cable are attached
to a flexible connector, which brings
the conductors in electrical connec-
ton with the bearings at either end
of the reel. A head telephone con-
nected with the bearings completes
the apparatus.

1EFFElN5NzoN DEMOCRACY:

With each recurring year the
democratic party of this country
celebrates with increasing reverence
for his character, his teaching and
the noble simplicity Of his life, the
anniversary Of the birth of Thomas
Jefferson, the father of the demo
cracy, as it is now understood, and
the third president of the United
States. Patriots in the great re-
volution Endorsed the declarations
made in the great paper prepared
by Jefferson, but the people did not
fully realize their own strength and
their own right to rule.
Jefferson was not man of the
sword. He sustained the arm of
Washington, but was not like Ham
ilton, member Of the military fam
lily. lie was essentially man OF
the cabinet, a statesman whose
views were inestimable at the form
alive period of the republic, and
who, in breadth and strength and in
advocacy of that republicanism
which is bottomed upon intelligence,
popular right and popular patriot
ism, has never had a superior in the
presidency. Men Of all parties,
patriots, lovers Of liberty of every
class and name, may we'll revere
Jefferson as burning and a shining
light, the wisest champion of civil
and religious freedom, best assured
by free exercise of the popular right
of manhood suffrage.
