A LUCKY SNEEzE.

how ministers were sometimes made
under the regime of Queen Isabella Of
Spain. Perhaps the most remarkable
instance is that of a man who was made
minister for sneezing.
The story is as follows: NJ. X. had
gone one day to pay a casual visit to
one of his friends. To his surprise he
found his friend very much occupied.
Excuse me-" said he, ''but l am very
busy today. But if you have nothing to
do come along with me- where are
you going?" Il have been summoned
to the palace" They set off together.
At the palace n was conducted to the
presence of the queen, while tho other
waited in the anteroom. There was a
lengthy sitting in the queens cabinet,
a new ministry being in urs Of for
nation.
1t was very cold and drafty in the IL
teroom, and the man who was waiting
a cold in the head coming Il. "Whom
shall we appoint 10 the eXcnequer:
Whom to the FOmerto? Whom to the
war Department." asked the queen.
Gradually after much discussion the
ministry was built up bit by bit. There
was now only the colonial minister
to be appointed. Il must have a colo
NAL minister, said the queen. Whom
shall we appoint colonial Minister Nc
one could be thought Of. All at nce
loud sncezc was heard in the anteroom.
"Who is that sneezing in the anteroom?'
asked the queen. m. k IN. X.
The very man-the very man for the
, colonial minister! Tell NJ. X. to COM
in"
That is how NJ. X. became colonia
minister-for having sneezed.

no proof against him he was let go, with

next time he came he did a job of no
less magnitude than to rob the vice

was to 60 to restaurant keeper and ask
him if any crooked people were in town.
He replied that there was a party in the
badger line at a place on Tenth street,
near the old gas office. In company
with the chief of police I went to the
house and asked Of the landlady if she
had any strangers stopping there. She
said yes, and on telling her our business
she admitted us into the parlOr, where
a good looking young man was walking
the floor, apparently in a nervous con

Before VIC could say a word he re
marked: L know who you are after.

Hon. j. S. WILLIS will accept the
thanks Of the TRANSCRIPT for the
Congressional Recordn which will
be kept in the office for reference, and
to the use of which any citizen or vis-
itor to the town will be welcome.
Hon. Anthony Higgins has also re-
membered the TRANSCRIPT recently
with public documents, many Of them
valuable for reference ard for which
he has our thanks. Mr.. Higgins when
he entered upon his senatorial duties
found an immense amount of printed
matter to the credit of his Office in the
document rooms, all of which he has
sent out TO his constituents. Mr.. Hig-
gins was one of the hardest working
Senators at the Capital for years, not
only serving Delaware we'll but the
country at large, many PenDsylvanians
claiming that he was better represen-
tative to the interests of the Keystone
State than both Messrs. Cameron and
Quay. He stands high in the estima-
tion of the whole people to-day and en-
joys life like philosopher.

subject and their opinion is that Col.
DUPONT is estitled to his seat, Cover
nor Watson having no right to vote in
the General Assembly after he took
the oath of Office. This was Governor
Watoon's view the day before the Leg
isIatuie adjourned and until his "back
bone was stiffened" for the consumma-
tion Of the conspiracy.
There is another feature that has de-
veloped with the convening of Con-
gress. Mr.. Addicks with his paid lieu
tenants has established lobby in
Washington to work against the seat
ing of Col. DUPONT. His emmissaries
are at work in Washington button-hol-
ing Republican Senators and trying to
argue them into the belief that lit
would be good Republican policy to re-
fuse Col. DUPONT seat, upon the
grounds that thereby Addicks would
be induced to remain in politics and
by contributing large sums make Del
aware Republican. This is the policy
of tsAddicks or nobody" which has
sent Col. DUPONT to the Senate q ith a
contest; it is policy that has doomed
Mr.. Acdicks to an everlasting defeat
in the Republican politics of this State
as all his millions cannot purchase the
honest Republicans of Delaware. He
may in despair try to defeat the party
within the Republican ranks and then
turn to his allies the Democrats. Many
Of the Democratic politicians would
welcome him to their fold, but not the
honorable Democrats who believe in
The principles of that party rather than
its spoils. We know that Addicks
cannot win, and we do not believe
that he can defeat the Republican
Party with Col. duPont.in the Senate
as our acknowledged leader. He has
sworn to defeat the party if he cannot
dominate it, rule or ruin is his motto,
and this has been his great mistake, as
Delaware Republicans will never ac-
cept him, and for every signer to the
petition, elsewhere referred to, there
will be ten Republican, votes against
Addicks should the choice ever come |
to "Addicks or nobody" But the seat
ing of Col. dupont will clear the polit-
icaI horizon and it will be the begin |
ing of new hopes to the G. O. P. in
Delaware, which without Addicks
would have an easy victory next fall,
and the chances are even that it can
defeat Addicks and the Democratic |
Party combined. We hope it may be
Senator dupont, and by the endorse
ment of Democratic votes.

WILL IT BE SENATOR dupoNrs

The impression is growing every day
that the United States Senate will de-
eide that Col. Henry A. DUPONT was
legally elected to the Senate by our
General Assembly and that he will
take his seat, plesumable with Demo
cratic Senators favoring his admission
on legal and constitutional grounds,
the only true basis for admission to
that body, or any other representative
body for that matter. Col. duPont's
credentials have been referred to the
appropriate committee, of which Sena-
tor Gray is chairman, and that COM
mittee has given "Acting Governor
Watson until Jan. 9th to answer. Col.
duPont's attorneys will then have ten
days to reply, the contest not coming
before the Senate before the last of
January or first of February.
The gratuitous insult to the Repub.
lcan editors who believe that Col. du-
Pont is entitled to his seat, and
through the editors an insult to every

POLITICAL POINTS.

As has been said before The Herald
has no interest in the matter save that
a candid world may know the truth.
The Tribune man in this city is not
inclined to let well enough alone; hence
he again takes up and discusses the
political situation in the Republican
camp.
The Tribune has not been frank in
what it has had to say. While it adj
mits in a half-hearted way that the
people" to me fguratiVe expression,
there is a want of candor which The
Herald, with reluctance, has been
obliged to supply.
If the Tribune man is going 60 dis
cuss the political situation as it relates
TO his own party In this county he
should get down to first principles,
exist which, in brief. are that the
Crane-Glassman com bination holds the
fort, and the real question at issue is
how to dislodge and subdue theul.s
- Several Tribune writer's have dis
played considera bic ingenuity in writ
ing up accounts of Democratic dis
ssensions that existed only in fancy.
Here is a chance for the Ogden repre-
sentative 70 display his ability in writ
ing I'D a racket in his own party re-
plete with dramatic situations. He
ought to write well because he is
thoroughly Ian1lilar Win Che IdctS.
The opposition party, through its
leading party organ, has always been
in haste to give accounts of differences
of opinion that have existed among
Democrats which, with scarcely an ex-
! eeption, have wanted one essential in
gredient and that is truth and now
when row of large proportions occurs
I IN their own ranks, which it is impos-
sible to conceal, an effort Is made to
conceal the true state of affairs by
feeding the erstwhiie plebeans in their
ranks with taffv on a stick.

the charge of stealing ore from the
Union Gold Mining company. were
brought to this city and released after
furnishing $4,000 bail each. The COM
plant alleges that systematic stealing
was carried on for about one year, and
aggregates a sum OF between $50, 900
and 100000.
The McCloskey brothers had a lease
on the main workings of the Pixies
Peak lode, which they secured from
the Union company. Some time ago
the royalty on ore from the lease de-
creased to a very low figure.
The company began an investigation,
which ended in the arrest Of the bro
theirs. 1t is claimed that their method
was to chip of gold-bearing rock from
the quartz they mined and subject to
a process OF their own, in order to get
the gold out of it. The ore they had
subjected to this test was then, it is
charged, mixed with common rock on
the dump and shipped to the smelters.
Consequently The smelter returns were
not half what they would have been
had not the greater part of the gold
been Clipped out of the quartz, the
retorts thus secured being kept by the
miners, who did not have to share the
profits.
