Llquor Dealers AssooiatIon.


The annual meeting of the Licensed Lii
quor Dealers Association of Wilmington, was
held last week In addition to the election
Of officers for the ensuing year, several mat
tiers of importance were discussed by the
members of the association.
E R. Cochran, r., attOrney'for the associ-
siou, was present at the meeting and ad-
vised the liquor men concerning the eu-
forcement of the law concerning saloon
keepers who sell to habitual druukards, 1t
was Mr.. Cochran's opinion that the law can
not be enforced What the liquor men OBJ
ject to is the fact that the list on which the
names of habitues are posted does not con-
tain the name Of any person as possessing
sufficient authority TO issue such a list. It
was the opinion of the attorney that the
saloon keepers were not bound to pay any
heed to the list, inasmuch as it does not con
tain the signature of any person tn authority
Another matter the liquor men are iuquir
ing about is Who is to determine when a
man is an habitual drunkard They look
upon the passage of the law as an abridge-
ment of the liberty of the individual.
The association discussed the movement
among the temperance people for local op-
tion and steps were taken to place their
claims before the General Assembly. The
matter was finally left 10 the executive COM
mittee, who will go to Dover to see that the
liquor men are givou an opportunity to be
heard when the matter comes up.
When spoken to in regard to the move
ment member of the executive committee
said that local option would never become
law here. He said the State derived $780,
600 every year from the liquor revenue and
the State treasurer could not we'll do without
this money

The Potent Inauenoe Of oaloe.

The Milford Chronicle, an Ad-
dicks organ, in firing a telling shot
at the Milford NetUS and advertiser,
Higgins organ, referred to the we'll
known fact that six years ago the
latter pepper was bitter, yindictive
assailant of Senator Higgins until its
editor was suddenly placated by
comfortable government position at
Washington, secured by Senator
Higgins favor. To this irritating
thrust into tender spot the Neips
and advertiser replies As follows
Itis quite true that shortly after the cleo
ton of Mr.. Higgins to the United States
Senate The Meas and Ad1e5flSe1, whose
editor was then and is now the same, at

The paper believed that
serious mistakes had been made in select
ing the postmasters at Georgetown and
Bridgeville, and when it believed that the
Senator had blundered politically in the |
matter of the postmaster at Milford, it could |
keep its hands off him no longer. There
was a tremendous row, the echoes ofWhich /
sounded all over the State for few weeks.
This paper believed then that Senator
was rewarding with Office few ex-

Sussex and new Castle Working
Together.


Under the most unfavorable conditions
New Castle county at the last election gave
the Republican ticket over a thousand ma
jority and in the future promises at least
FIVE hundred more This always assures
the election Of the head of our ticket, even
though Kent and Sussex give their usual
Democratic majorties AT the same cleo
ton Sussex county gave two hundred and
fifty Republican majority and Kent went
Democratic. To pay no regard to New
Castle under such cifcumstances,t to remain
Indifferent to her desires. is the height Of
folly and Stiffness, to deliberately turn upon
her,to break down her organization, is to
.consign the party to absolute defeat and
hopeless ruin and decay. Without New
Castle county there can be no future for
Republicanism in Delaware.
Sussex county, then, should co operate
with New Castle in building up and
Strengthening the party, in advancing the
interests of the State. and not attempt to
coerce her into a position of dishonor and
shame. Permanent success can only come
through a closer union and not through the
severance of party ties. As Mr. Higgins
is the only logical candidate for the United
States Senate. and as New Castle is united
for his support, 50 Sussex and Kent should
join in making his election unanimous, all
working together for the honor of the
State and the welfare of the party. There
is no political sense or reason in any other
position, and Sussex and Kent have no
right to withhold their supporter turn their
strength to a man in New Castle whom
the party there does not want and whose
election the people cannot sustain or coun-
tenance. AS a Senator Mr.. Higgins has
been everything that the people have
right to expect; he has ably represented the
party and has brought honor upon the
State and Nation, and all of the opposition
to him is either purchased or personal, the
result of failure to obtain desired influence
or office. The reckless efforts of self-con.
stituted leaders in Sussex to place the
party upon an incline plane to ruin and de-
struction should be firmly and effectively
rebuke ed by the honorable members of the
party--to countenance such shame as to
share the dishonor. J. S. P. JR.

The Senatorial situation was dis
cussed at Dover last Tuesday by
members of the Kent County Re
publican Committee and about fifty
of the leading working Republicans
over the county. The meeting re-
sembled an old-fashioned Methodist
experience meeting Each member
gave the sentiments Of his hundred
and his observations of public feel
ing in regard to the United States
Senatorship. The unanimity was
highly gratifying and indicates That
fully ninety per cent OF the Republi-
can party are in favor of J. Edward
Addicks for United States Senator

A Senator Hurt.

HARRINGTON. Jan. 5,-State Senator Hez-
ekiah Harrington, while out fox hunting to-
day with several of his friends, slipped from
an old log where he was watching the course
Of the fox and dislocsted his shoulder. He
also injured himself internally He was
brought home and Dr. B. L. Lewis was called
in, who after considerable trouble managed
to put his shoulder in place. He is suffer
ing terribly from the injury, and viii not be
able to attend to his duties in the Senate the
coming week.
Milford chronicle., 1895-01-11

another column friend of SEN
ator Higgins attempts to adduce
reasons why he should be reelected
to the United States Senate from
Delaware. He claims there can be
no future for the Republican party
in Delaware without New Castle
county, and inferentially says that
there would be no future for the
partv in New Castle without Mr..
Higgins. In this we radically differ
with the writer There are able
leaders in the party in that county
who are not bound to Senator Hig
Gins. We do not wish to bedim one
page of Senator Higgins record at
Washington, for there he discharged
his duties as he best understood
them and with credit to himself. But
as an organizer and leader in the
muddy waters of Delaware politics.
he failed to cover himself with glory
-as his henchman, the NeUs and
advertiser proclaimed last week very
clearly.
For this, and because another can
DISCHARGE the duties with equal credit
to himself and the State, and will at
the same tt ne enable the two lower
counties of Delaware to firmly en-
trench themselves IN the Republican
line. this paper believes it the duty
of Sussex and Kent counties to stand
firm and true for Mr.. Addicks. No
matter how great the Republican
majority in New Castle, one or both
the other counties must be Republi-
can, or Democratic gag legislation
will nullify victory in New Castle.
The whole trouble in this contest
has been with Mr.. Higgins friends.
Lies have been circulated galore,
about Mr.. Addicks; his friends in
suited by epithets and abuse that
would have disgraced a campaign be-
tween the two parties; and by this
bitter and senseless Safeguarding,
and opportunies have
been made for others, to foment dis
oord-and possibly pluck the plum
from both.

ANY amendment to the ballot or
election laws of Delaware without
amending the constitution by abol-
ishing the tax qualification for an
elector will be imperative and use
less legislation. Strike down that
particular constitutional cancer in
our poiRas. a 4 ! the Whole line OF
political rottebaess will be under
mined. We would like to see the
political parties purged of corrup-
tion in Delaware, but unless the cause
lis removed and the net work of tax
and assessment laws destroyed, no
reform will come through either
party. A maintenance of the pres
ent condition Of affairs under exist
ing laws is necessary as measure
of defence by the two great parties,
and all the tinkering, or amendment
Of election laws possible will not re-
move the evil.

The EUery Evening takes excep-
tion to the praise bestowed upon
Senator Watson by Republican
papers, and surmises that the word
has been passed along by some one
to iatter that gentleman. So far as
this paper is concerned, its commen-
dation Of Senator Watson was a sin
cere respect for him as a private
gentleman and admiration ofhis hon.
orable political record. No one has
ever accused him Of STOPPING to
mean politics, OF having been con-
nected with any Of the political rot
tenness Of his party. If fair and
good legislation is enacted by the
House. Senator Watson is too hon
orabIe a man to oppose such meas
ures Of reform, simply because the
ring in his own party demands its
defeat. Evidently the Every Eve1-
ma is suspicious Of everything-even
lust and mertorious praise of a Dem
ocratic Senator

THOSE Republicans who have
grown suddenly virtuous and see the
declining fortunes of the Higgins
star, propose the almost herculean
task of holding Sussex and Kent
counties by line of political work
on a silk-stocking basis. Talk is
cheap, but it requires something
more tangible to carry elections in
Delaware-as our Democratic friends
well know, and for that reason, fear
the selection of Mr.. Addicks for the
leader in the next campaign. Reso-
lutions have about as much weight
in Delaware politics as political
speeches in her campaigns.
