SENATOR HIGGINS.
What the People of Other States Think
of Delaware's Most Worthy Son

of Delaware's Most Worthy Son
The following from the New York Pres
and other leading papers expresses our sent
imenls and we believessthoSe of tie masse
of the REL ub!iean Tarty in Delaware:
"rhe Republicans of the State of Del;
ware should not hesitate for one moment il
returning Anthony Higgins to the United
States Senate 1t is not creditabe to Della
ware Repubiicanism that there should b.
even doubt of the re election of this able
I di. tngl ished and useful republican leader
The Republican party of Delaware canno
afford to commit suicide. The rejection o
Senator Higgins for candidate absolutely
without experience in national legis atioI
and notoriously lacking in the qualifica
tions required in Senator tf the United
States would be an act of inexcusab.e and
fatal folly. The party has been built up to
its present strength in Delaware largely
Trough the loyalty. capacity and tireless
energy of Senator Higgins. He has hon.
ored Delaware i'll the Senate, and Delaware
must not dishonor herself by refusing to
grant him the reelection he has splendidly
earned"
N. Sun (Dem.)
No new Republican senator has won
more quickly than Mr.. Higgins the conf
dence and respect of loyal citizens of both
rank. With rare intuition, he has grasped
and mastered the larger questions of mani
fest destiny, which are coming so rapidly to
the front as to make the squabbles of parti-
sanship during the past few years seem petty
He is among the Americans in the Senate,
and he should be kept there. Any other
result at Dover will be disgrace to Della
ware and a national misfortune.
N. Y. Pr2ss (3ap.)
The eyes of the whole Republican party
are fixed OH the State of Delaware. The
Republicans of the nation from Boston to
San Francisco have direct interest in the
reelection of that able, courageous and
faithful champion of RepubIicanism, An
thony Higgins. The first election of Senator
Higgins gave Delaware deserved and hon.
orable prominence in the councils of the
nation. His capacity, energy and unvarying
devotion to Republican principles speedily
made him valued leader on the side of
protection and Americanism. and the Rep
ublican party as whole has righ: to de-
mand that he shall be returned to the posi-
ton in which he rendered sterling service
to the cause of American interests. Della
ware Republicans are on trial before the
country. Every consideration of patriotism
and party loyalty requires that they shall
re-elect Anthony Higgins to the Senate of
the United States.
Brooklyn Eagle (Dem.)
If elections mean anything Delaware
should have Republican senator and if
caucus stands in any official relation to
party action Mfr. Higgins should certainly
be chosen He is q man of learning, dignity
and character and one of the ablest lawyers
iE the state. For this reason it is the more
to be hoped that Democrats will not join
the Addicks forces in order to accomplish
his defeat. The entire anti Higgins CAM
paign has been one of fraud and jobbery,
and it would be great triumph for dec
ency should the senator be reelected.

Senator Carey's Retirement.

The Washington correspondent of the
the New York Recorder says: II am sorry
that Carey is to go. He was credit to his
state and to the Senate, and he has fallen
victim to his own honesty of purpose and
steadfast courage. But he went against
the sentiment of his home people, and that
for politician is fatal. There was no rea-
son in the world why Carey sould have
voted for the repeal of the Sherman act
except that he believed it was right. It
was a mistake in judgement, and he prob
ably would have known better another
time. He thought that he was on the right
track, and that in the end his people would
have to come TO his way of thinking. But
he misread the signs of the times. Some
time Carey may come back TO the Senate.
He is young yet, and he is brainy. There
ought to be political future for this stamp

PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS.

1t is said that in the Ohio repub.
Gcan state convention Mckinley and
Foraker resolutions were adopted by
a majority of the delegates who, as
matter of fact. were opposed to both.
But they know that Mckinley cannot
be nominated for president and that
Ohio is likely to go democratic next
year defeating Foraker for senator
Chicago Chronicle.
Secretary Gresbam's adnin1stra-
ton of his high Office under slngularIy
irving conditions has been in every
sense great administration-great
enough to do his duty upon all tempta-
tions to defect it to popular prejudice
and clamor-great enough to do right
nv the weak, and to force the strong
to do right by us.-Louisviile Courier
Journal.
The praise of Secretary Gresham
since his death has been as generous
as the abuse of him during life was UNI
reasoning. The truth is that the late
secretary was as honest as he was cour-
apcous, and If he never reached the
highest standard of greatness he never
fell below very respectable standard
of ability. He was man of lofty inn
pulses and kindly nature and his domi-
nant idea was patriotism. His place
can be filed. but it will require man
of the best type to perform the duties
as he performed tkem.-Kansas City

M'kINLEY GETS A BLACK EYE.

Significance Of tho Foraker Gangs VIo-
tory In OHIO.
Both of Gov. McKinley's Chicago
Herald, acknowledged that the noml-
nation of Asa S. Bushnell for governor
by the Ohio republican state conven-
ton was a serious setback for their
presidential candidate. They are
1oath to put it that way, but the tone
of their special dispatches is even more
significant than their admissions. The
Times-Herald says that Bushnell's
nomination is spoken of on all sides as
ga victory of Foraker over Mckinley"
and the Inter Ocean admits that Gov.
Mckinley has been Inundated in his
own state by his own party"
In order to let the discounted Nc
Kinley faction down easy, the Foraker
crowd, after gathering in the gov
ernorship cherry, presented the pit of
presidential endorsement to Gov
Mckinley. Now, everybody knows the
value of this presidential pit. It is
like the apples of Sodom, beautiful to
look upon, but bitter ashes to him who
attempts its mastication. If anyone
doubts this, let him inquire of John
Sherman, address, Mansfield, o. He
has had this pit presented TO him by
the Ohio cherry eaters quadrennially
for the past sixteen years. At last he
has learned to say: mo, thank you,
when he sees Joseph b. Foraker pass
ing it around on the state conven ton

In Danger of Breaking Out Again In Mon.
tana and Colorado.
WAsHINGroN, June For some time
past complaints have been received at
the department of the interior that
Colorado and Montana cattIemen have
again resumed their old habits of fenc-
ing in millions of acres of public lands
In the sos the cattlemen had violated
the common law and law of congress
by fencing in the public domain to the
extent of millions of acres in Montana,
Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming.
The interior department appointed two
inspectors to break up the wrong-do-
ings. They had a troop of cavalry at
their service, and would notify the cat
tlemen that if they did not remove
their fences they would be torn down.
In this way the public domain was
again cleared of fences.
The general land office has not now
a sufficient force of agents, and will
have to have recourse to the United
States courts to prevent it. If this
fails to have the desired effect the
same methods adopted by the inspec-
tors of using troops will undoubtedly
be reSOrted to.

Infamous Assaults Of RepubIicsns Upon
Secretary Gresham.

Infamous Assaults Of RepubIicsns Upon
Secretary Gresham.
The general commentator now be-
Ing given the character of the late Sec
rotary Gresham has in it an instructive
lesson. A few weeks ago it was diff
cult to exceed the abuse of him in
partisan quarters. He was adjusted
by bad motives, in which personal
spite and resentments had prominent
part; he blundered inexcusably In his
foreign policy. and involved the admin
istration Of which he was member In
odium as well IA himself; he was by
instinct and by purpose unpatriotic;
disposed to truckle to European powers
In his foreign policy; was bringing
shame to Americans and contempt to
our country by his lack of appreciation
OF what was denominated true Ameri-
canism, and his weak or worse yielding
to foreign aggression. This latter
charge was made against one of the
most gallant American soldiers that
the late war produced. No responsible
person processes to believe any of this
now. Secretary Gresham's death has
brought to his memory instant justice
as far as there is open expression.
Simple and credulous people, who are
always eager to believe any wrong of a
man provided he differs from them in
politics, probably still hold to their
prejudice, though they have the grace
not to declare it. The nearest that
comes to its appearance in the press is
found in the insinuation that, though
Secretary Gresham had patriotic and
right impulses himself, he was pre-
vented from acting on them by Presi-
dent Cleveland, which is really only
another form of attack on the secre-
tary, though covert and cowardly in
stead of openly abusive.
These accusations have been ex-
posed in their insincerity, and the sub
ject of them is righted in the minds of
the American people. He would have
been compelled to wait much longer
for this, however, had he not met
premature death. They are withdrawn
partly because there is no political end
