STICK,

Mr.. Addicks' success In business
life is largely due to the fact that he is
possessed Of good staying qualities.
He sticks. He don't know when he is
whipped. And he seems to have in
spired bis adherents with 4he same ia
domilable pluck; and that quality is
bound to win. The prospect to-day
for his winning the Senatorial victory
is brighter than it has been for some
time. We see it, and hosts of others
are getting to see it, who some time
ago looked upon it with considerable
degree of doubt. Hold on boys, vic
tory is in sight. From the State Sen
tinel-Mr Addicks' organ.

BALLOT REBORN.

II the General Assembly are in real
earnest about ballot reform let them
first of all repeal the obnoxious delin-
qnent tax laws that apply to Sussex
Middletown transcript., 1895-05-04

and Kent counties, and tLen let them
take action to make it so that poll tax
payers can pay their tax when they 81
to get registered. The point is, make
it easy for every one to pay his tax and
get registered ins tead of throwing all
the possible difficulties in the way as
il il now.
Ballot reform legislation as far as it
applies to vote buying is not so much
eeded as to enforce what we have
now. With the lsw in the hands of
the Democratic party, it would be next
thing To Impossible to convict a prom
inent Democrat fol buying votes and
the Republicans alone if gully would
be the sufferers.
The Democratic party are RESPONSE
BILE for all this vote buyiny business.
They have practised it for many years
and it has grown on their hands until
Last fall the Republicans not only de-
feated but bankrupted them. They
are now taken with virtues spell and
are clamoring for reform. Let the
Democratic Senate pass the House bill
now before them, repeating the delin-
quent tax law aud then let them quit
buying votes and enfOice what law we
have, and then We will have all the
ballot reform we need.-From George
town Susser Republican.
KIND WORDS NOT APPRECIATED.
"The Republican papers are very
profound in their address to Governor
Watson. They did not put him where
he is and they will also find out in
time that he well knows his business.
-IndeG.
Our Dover contemporary, like Every
Evening, cannot conceal its chagrin,
jealously and distrust because the Re-
publican papers have spoken hand
somely of Mr.. Watson, both when he
became Speaker Of the Senate and also
when he became Governor.
We believe that the Republican
press of the State has uttered no word
concerning Mr.. Watson in the spirit
of flattery, or with the expectation of
any favor. They honestly approve of
his course in general way, and be-
lieving that he represents the best
element of his party, have frankly and
unselfishly accorded him the honor to
which his course has entitled b i'm, and
for what it promises. So long as the
new Governor maintains his record for
fairness and good government the Re-
publican press will accord him all
proper credit and respect. But, if he
should 60 astray as Democratic gov
ernors in Delaware have done, then
the Republican papers of Delaware
will light on him as cat upon rat.

The good opinion and kindly feeling
for Governor Watson, expressed by

as much to the IdeG as if we had

Inder is super-sensitive. What's the

gested that it is haunted with that

New YORK Times

It has been noticed for the last few
months that the intrinsic value Of the
souvenirs presented at the theaters has
genuine sterling silver. When the prSss-
tice of giving souvenirs was first begun.
an Illuminated programme. possibly a
satin one. or a statuette OF some cheap
material resembling bronze, was consid-
cred quite enough for the managers to
present to their patrons: now silver Is
not regarded as too expensive q metal to
be nodded into souvenirs and the mama
gers make money out OF the enterprise
they display. This change has been
brought about, as one OF the leading
managers said the other day, by the
steady decline In the market value OF sill
yer. People who would have thought 1t
inexcusable extravagance two years ago
to display silver spoons on their tables
are now able to boast not only OF spoons,
but forks ana other articles OF sterling
ware which were formerly beyond their
means. Managers have been among the
first to take advantage of the decline in
price of the metal which some financiers
are anxious to place on tue same footing
as gold in our financial system, and they
have found that many pretty souvenirs
In silver can be produced on which they
can make a profit.
Some OF these silver ornaments are very
pretty and serviceable. and take perma-
nent places among the bric-a- brac Ia the
household. which the cheap statues OF
former days can never achieve. OF their
genuineness there can be no doubt, for
they bear the trade mark OF sslversrntths
whose reputation IL International They
are not cast aside by the recipients, and
they continue permanent reminders of the
play and the theater. which the cheaper
articles did not.

Tho disease first showed itself about

tha operation that the patient had only
a short time to live. However. he went
to San Francisco . few weeks ago and
consulted the most eminent physicians to

a second operation. Death staring him

The Consfttut sonaltey OF the Road Law.
whatcom. Jan. n.--Speciai.-The state
ment made IN the whatcom correspond
ence of the Post-Intelligencer last Sum
day that two Justices OF the supreme
court have refused. or at least failed, TO
pay their road Improvement taxes IN this
county ON account OF the alleged uncon-
stitutionality OF the law has occasioaed
considerable comment. and some anxiety
on the part Of the holders OF the road
warrants. The reporter has since investt-
gated the matter more fully and finds
that only one of the supreme court Jus
tees IL concerned IN It. and that when.
through an attorney here, he rendered
payment of his general taxes upon prop
erty situated within the two-n1iie limit
on one OF the reads built under the new
law. he gave as his reason for not pay
ing his road assessment that he had not
received personal notice, as the statute
requires and further THAT It had been
represented 10 him that the proceedings OF
the commissioners In ievying the assess
ments we're Irregular This was about a
year ago. bat II was kept very quiet.
lest the knowledge OF s,fch action on the
part OF a supreme Judge might induce
others 20 pursue II similar course and thus
materially affec. the road tax collections.
The judge wrote that he expected 70 yisit
Wlatcom IN a short time. and that he
would then look into the matter further.
II he has done so II does not appear that
he has changed his opinion. for hts taxes
stnl remain unpald. Here. however. the
warrants are considered perfectly good.
ana few question the regularity Of the
proceedings of the commissioners or the
validity OF the law
