OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
The CoIored Republicans Argue
in Favor of the Former.

Washington, December 10
| VIM. A. Mcdonald of Forney,
one of the we'll known negro
republicans Of Texas, is here to
confer with the members of the
National republican committee.
and also to see Speaker Reed,
of whom he is an enthusiastic
follower. He has been in con
sultation with a number Of the
other well known republicans
who are here. and It's probable
that he Will lead the Reed
forces in the next State repuh-
lican convention. He is an OPP
ponent of Wright Quincy, who
is an Allison man, and he is
consequently not very friendly
to Rosenthal, who is, he says.
the political assistant of Quincy.
Rosenthal and Cuney have
been very much together since
Cuney's arrival. but Mcdonald
says that secretly. Cuney does
not wish for Rosenthals sue
cess, because it would imperil
his own leadership in South
east Texas. Mcdonald believes
that IL would be very bad pol
icy for the republicans to un-
seat Crowley. This would create
a sympathy which would in
sure Crowley's election. He be
lieves that if Crowley is allow
ed to remain, the division in
the democratic party Ill the
district will continue, and many
will support, the next sime,
some good republican success
fully, He says that if Crowley
is Objectionable to some of the
democrats, Rosenthal is mnch
more disliked by them, and by
some of the republicans, and
that the seating Of Rosenthal
would do the republicans very
much more harm than the cleo
ton of Crowley has done for
the democrats. He says there
was absolutely no intimidation
or fraud in the last election.
Rosenthars defeat was due, he
says, to detection of a large
section of the negro vote, which
was led by Il colored republican
of Fort Bend county. Mcdonald
IS of the same political faction
as the Fort Bend leader, and
seems to know what he is talk
ing about. He discusses the
matter very wisely and very
well, and as he evidently has it
in for Grant, Quincy and Rosen
thai, there is little doubt that
he has put in some good work
against them during his visit
here.

AS
BELLIGERENTS.

Washington, December To-
There is no doubt that the
movement to recognize the Ca
ban insurgents as belligerents
will be pushed upon the atten-
tion of the house soon after lis
organization has been complet
ed by the appointment of com
miItees. Possibly a resolution
may be reported from the com
mittee on foreign affairs Of its
own motion. This is talked Of,
but If the committee does not
care to take the matter up itself
there are influential members
ootsid~ who are ready TO as
sumo the initiative. Represen
tative Brodericll of Kansas,
who was a mem Der of the judi
ciary committee i'll the last con
gress, has resolved to prepare
a resolution if no action is tax
ell by the members who are
particularly identified with dip
lomatic matter He believes
the course Of this government
toward the Republic of Texas
and toward Mexico when Max
imilian was undertaking lis
conquest, furnish precedents
for the recognition OF the Gu
bans and that the course of
Spain in recognizing the South
trn Confederacy soon after lis
formation furnishes provoca-
ton, if amy be necessary. Mr..
Broaerick thinks congressional
sentiment is in favor of grant
ing recognition to the Cubans.

There is nothing disgusting about
the Senatorial deadlock-not even
the chaotic and unsettled plans and
opinions ofthe Democratic members
who daily scatter the votes, and
have never once voted in harmony
for one man Every man who has
voted for J. Edward Addicks, has
voted for him because he believed
that he was the choice of nine out Of
every ten Of their constituency. No
honest man will attribute dishonest
motives to another, unless they are
able to prove by undisputed facts
the truth oftheir assertion, and when
Democrats or Republicans state that
the men who have supported Mr..
Addick through more than one hun
dred ballots, are influenced by mer-
cenarysmotives they state that which
is false and are unworthy ofcredence.
There is nothing disgusting in suit
at law, or vigorous defense by force
Of the just rights ofany man and the
men who are supporting Mr.. Addicks
are doing so because they know that
he is entitled to the Senatorship by
right of organization and support
of the Republican party in Kent and
Sussex counties for two years past
and that without him there would
be no contest by Republicans in Del
aware for a seat in the United States
Senate. We believe this, and know
it to be a fact

The new Presbyterian Church of this
place was dedicated on Sunday last the
3Ist inst, Rev. VIM. P Swartz, of Viii
mington, officiating. The day was beau
tiful one and a very large crowd of people
attended the services from Harrington,
Greenwood, BridgeVille, Milford and many
other near by towns. The church was
crowded to its utmost capacity The out
standing debt of about S45o 90 was raised
by the congregation, and it was found that
there was a surplus of about $50 90. This
was remark ably good for this time of the
year when there is not so much money in
circulation. In the evening there was
preaching by the Rev VIM P. Swartz,
who preached very able sermon appr0pH-
ate to the occasion.

The bask ct makers at the basket factory
are on a strike. On Monday morning the
company started in at making peach bas-
kets and stated that sixty cents a hundred
was the price for making them; but most
of the makers wanted more and would not
go to work. The company threatens to
close the factory down, but we do not think
that will be the case.
1t is understood that Rev j. w Pool, of
this place, who has been on the list Of
'worn out preachers" is to take a circuit
at Queenstown, Md.
Miss Levia Truitt,o Frankford, has been

cuts the baskets out being out of order she
will return home this week until they are

Mr. H. A. Reik is getting ready to open

son of the year
The steamer Frederica had quite num-
Der of visitors Sunday from neighborng
towns. All expressed themselves pleased
with the boat and think it credit to the

be quite satisfactory. During the month
of March about two hundred horses and
mules were brought down. The popular
ity of this boat is assured by the number
of passengers from other towns carried
each trip.

ballot was taken this morning. There was
fair attendance Of visitors, but no one was
surprised when the joint ballot failed to re
suit in the election Of senator
The House this afternoon passed the bill
10 repeal the infamous delinquent laws Of
Kent and Sussex counties
Mr.. Mustard asked that the bill be explain
ed.
Mr. Walker explained that the bin was to
repeal the delinquent laws. No law eyer
excited so much criticism as "the deiin-
qusnt laws Of 1873" descriptions collec-
tors evaded the collection Of taxes In 1891
part Of the law was repealed. but in 1898
the same law was re-euacted for Kent and
Sussex counties. This bill just offered re-
peals that act. The present unfortunate
political condition, Mr., Walker believed,
was largely due TO this law. The law has
been the source Of corruption.
Mr. Mustard did not see where the hard
ship comes in under the present law. Every
man in the hundred knows where to 6ud the
collector, when he can pay his taxes and he
has ample time If he pays his tax there is
no trouble
MI DAILY said that every man has an op-
portuuity to pay his tax aud if he does not
pay it there is no hardship in dropping him
He asked why the law was repealed and
then was re. enacted.
Mr Iolls said that the law was repealed in
1891 because the counties of Sussex aud New
Castle had Republican Levy Courts, and the
law was repealed. When Kent and Sussex
counties bad Democratic Levy Courts the
bill re-euacted.
Mr. Burton said that if Mr. DAILY should
live long enough 10 see the Republican party
completely in power and this law in opera
ton, they would be able to see the whole
matter without specs" The bill was pas
sed.
A number of people are iuquiring what
has become Of the bill which was intended
to give the Delaware State Fair Association
$1,000 year. The bill is still 10 committee
and those who are in favor of it and those
who are against ii. are carefully watching it.
The bill to provide state workhouse will
come up in the House tomorrow aud indica-
tions are that it will be passed by a close
vote. New Castle county wants the bill
passed, while the people OF Kent and Suz-
sex counties seem to be divided on the mat
ter. It is for this reason the vote may be
close.
