tn. Internal struggle Goes On.


II the question be ia order, and we
think It Is. we should like 10 know when
]. Edward Addicks got back into the
Republican ranks2 Il seems to us that
some months ago the Higgins men Of
New Castle county denounced bis politi-
cal pretensions In most scathing terms
and read him out OF the party. Now we
hear that petitions are in circulation de
nouncing him again and reading
him out for q second time. Not
only that, but also reading State
Senator Robert J. Hsnby, Of Brandy
wine hundred, out Of the party and
demanding that he be expelled from the
Republican County Committee.
It may be that they wished to give
Senator Handy a running mate in his
enforced departure from the camp Of the
Republicans who train under the Higgins
banner, and bank their fortunes on the
seating Of Colonel Henry I Dupont. We
do not think that it Is fsir TO Mr.. Ad-
dicks TO read him out every time
that denunciatory manifesto Is issued
against one Of his followers. It shows
too concluslvely that the Higgins man.
agers are not fully convinced IN their
own minds that be is out Of the party.
Our Republican friends are in pretty
pickle, and no one knows it better than
themselves. With an election only about
year of they do not know what TO do
or whore to 90 for suocor The glorious
victory Of last Fall has become a most
ignoniuious defeat by reason Of their
own internal dlssensions. There Is no
spirit Of conciiiation manifested. The
two factions stand with dsggers drawn.
knitting one another Ia season and out OF
season. It becomes clearer day by day
that they can never get together. The
struggle must end with the elimination
Of Addlcks or the elimination Of
Higgins The gap Of discord Is
too wide TO be spanned BY the
plank OF compromise, and the Repubn-
can party must 20 on devoting all It's
energies TO an internal struggle, and
leaving the Democratic party to run the
state until the Republican party is in q
position to run itself
There Is every reason TO believe that
the Democrats viii carry all three
counties By sweeping maiorlties, secur.
ing a governor, United States Senator.
Congressman, both branches Of the
General Assembly, delegates to the Con.
stitutional Convention and three Levy
Courts, not to mention the many minor
advantages involved in the struggle.
With good, clean men on the ticket there
is no reason why victory should not be
theirs.
Those Republicans who would hsr-
monizs their party do not know where to
strike nor whom to trust. They cry for
harmony but there is no harmony. The
people viii never again delegate the
government OF their state to a party
which has shown It's utter inability TO
govern ITSELF aud Democratic walk
over is in order for 1896.

The Horne nIarkot.

Tron the Savannah Morning News.
The farmers Of Washington county are
showing good judgment in giving their
attention to the raising Of fine horses
There is good deal OF talk about the
bicycle and the trolley road breaking the
market for herses. but the fact remains
that the person who desires to draw the
ribbons over fast horse with plenty Of
bottom has got TO 60 down deep into bis
pocket TO pay for such an animal.
Probably not three persons Ia ten who
ride bicycles ever owned o horse, or ever
would have owned a horse If they had not
got G wheel. and the horses that have
been displaced by trolley cars are the
cheap and plodding plugs that never
we're worth very much AS matter Of
fact 70 Is an open question II the bicycle
will not increase the demand for the high
grade horse. Wherever there are any
considerable number of bicycles ridden
there is strong sentiment ia favor Of
good roads, and as good roads are pro-
vided the demand for good horses will
grow

The defalcation of Cashier O. NJ. Figgat,
which has practically put out of existencethe
Bank of Lexington, Va, and the only finan-
cial agent Of the entire community and county

balance Of $6573.12 to meet the cash de-
posts of $72. 900. 1t is given out that the
period of defalcation covers twenty-three

FATAL NINE EXPLOSION.

Five Men Instantly Killed and Six Others
Terribly Injured in Pennsylvania.
By an explosion of mine gas in the West
Bear Ridge Colliery of the Reading Coal and
Iron Company at Mahanoy Plane, Penn, six
miners were killed and five were burned,
four of them probably fatally. The dead are:
Thomas Durkin, of Girardville, Joseph
Glibe, of Crescent Hill; Peter Greenback, OF
st. Clair; Peter Kline, of Ashland; Anthony
Myers, Of Ashland Benjamin Reaber, OF
Mahanoy Plane.
ALI but Myers we're probably instantly
killed, and It was some time before their
bodies were recovered from the workings.
Myers was taken out alive and died while
being carried to the hospital. The injured
are:
Edward Davis, of Girardville; William
Minnich and William Goff, of Ashland; John
Lamey and William Davis, of Mahanoy
Plane. It was feared that the first four of
these injured men were fatally burned, but
William Davis was only slightly hurt.
The cause of the explosion was supposed
to be that naked lamp ignited large body
of gas that had been let loose from blast
that was made in the gangway. The ex-
plosion set fire to the timbers of what is
called the "monkey airway," cutting off the
escape Of the FIVE men killed in the mine.

The spirit of socialism is pervading
all the middle class and lower walks of
life in Germany. 1t is not a silly as
piration for Utopia that has taken
hold of the Germans, or desire to
upset society as it now exists, explains
the San Francisco Chronicle. The
Germans have too much sense to lend
themselves to such levellng ideas as
those contained in the symmetrical
conception of socialism. The term
socialistic does not really designate
the movement now in progress. 1t is
rather revolt against autocracy and
struggle for recognition OF the
theory that all just government must
derive its consent from the governed.
The growth of militarism is stimulat-
ing this feeling and making it so gen.
eral that autocracy must bend before

KOREA IS INDEPENDENT.
Notice to That Effect Served the Chi

Notice to That Effect Served on the Chi
ntse NItfister in Washington.
The Korean Legation has served notice on
the Chinese Minister at Washington that
Korea is independent. fact that he had
ignored in sending the Korean Charge d'Af-
faires copy of the Chinese almanac for the
current year. Ordinarily the presentation of
a calendar might not be considered matter
OF great Importance, but the Chinese years
are arbitrarily managed by the Emperor
Kwang Su, who has arranged for this year to
have thirteen months, including an addi-
tional month of May. This calendar is an
nually distributed to the subjects of the En-
peror and to the rulers of vassal States, who
are commanded to govern their dates by the
Emperor's system. Heretofore the Koreans
have used the Chinese year, most of their
transactions being with China, and this has
been considered by China a satisfactory proof
OF vassaage. When Yang Yu the Chinese
Minister at Washington, sent the Koreans an
official calendar several days ago it was
promptly returned to him with a notice that
they had no use for it, as hereafter they in
tended to count time as other civilized Ma
tions.
1t is understood that the Korean Legation
has hitherto accepted this annual gift from
the Chinese Minister who has thus been able
to declare that the Korean representative in
America was subject to his authority. After
this, however, he will have nothing to base
his claim upon.

They are said to be regular bonanza

amply proved by the success of the

ment:
For God and home and native land-Poly-
glot petition of the Worlds Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union.-Address to the
Governments of the world:
Honored Rulers, Representatives and Broth
erS:
We, your petitioners, although belonging
to the physically weaker sex, are strong of
heart to love our homes, our native land,
and the worlds family of Nations.
We know that clear brains and pure hearts
make honest lives and happy homes, and
that by these the Nations prosper, and the
time is brought nearer when the world shall
be at peace.
We know that indulgence in alcohol and
opium, and in other vices which disgrace
social life, makes misery for all the world,
and most of all for US and for our children.
We know that stimulants and opiates are
sold under legal guarantees which make the
accepting as revenue a portion of the profits,
and we know with shame that they are often
forced by treaty upon populations, either
ignorant or unwilling.
We know that the law might do much,
now left undone, to raise the moral tone Of
society and render vice difficult.
We have no power to prevent these great
iniquities beneath which the whole world
groans, but you have power to redeem the
honor of the Nations from an indefensible
completely.
We therefore come to you with the united
voices of representative women of every land,
beseeching you to raise the standard of the
law to that of Christian morals, to strip away
the safeguards and sanctions of the State
from the drink traffic and the opium trade,
and to protect our homes by the total prohi-
bition of these curses OF civilization through
out all the territory over which your Govern
ment extends.
The miles on miles of written names and
addresses appended to this utterance have
been mounted on white muslin by Mrs. Re-
becca G. Shuman, of the Evanston (Ill.) Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union The
enormity OF the task which Mrs. Shuman has
undertaken may be imagined from the fact
that the aggregate of time she has already
spent at it amounts to about two years of
steady work.

ARSON FOR FIREMEN's PRACTICE.

An Entire Company Discharged for Com
plicity in Incendiarism.
The entire Fire Department of Ypsilanti,
Mich, is in commotion over the confession
of ex-Fireman Charles M. Walker, who has
sworn that he, Captain Graham and Archie
Harrison, now somewhere in Ohio, set fire
to many buildings during 1892 and 1893. He
says that Captain Graham was the chief
conspirator and that he supplied the kero-
sene oil to start the fires.
Their motive was to rid the town Of old
buildings, to give the members Of No. COM
pany opportunity to be at the fire first and
to get some needed practice. The firemen
were then paid SO much per fire. He further
swears that the company was notified when
the fires were to occur. ALI the members Of
No. 2 have been discharged and Graham and
Walker are both under arrest.
