At the conclusion of two hundred

arose and read a paper protesting
against further balloting, claiming that
Henry A. Dupont had been legally
elected. Governor Watson refused to
entertain the motion or allow protest
to go on the records of the joint session,
claiming it to be out of order.
Senator Pierce appealed from the de-
cision, and the Governor refused to
entertain the appeal.
Senator Records, the Democratic
leader, moved to seperate, and during
the rOll-call the State House clock
struck the hour of 8, but the clock in
hall was one minute slower, and when
the vote was announced the governor
declared the General Assembly dis

hole and all that legitimately grows out
of it, is that to which you give legality.
Chief Justice Comegys told me a
short time before his resignation: "The
drinking saloon is responsible for nearly
all the criminal cases brought before
our courts" And heard the same
declarations made by Judge Gilpin in
a charge to the grand jury. Take it
home to your own experience, and be-
fore you sign, set down in one column
all the good that your act can possibly
do in establishing the saloon, and in
another, all that harm to the cOmmun-
ity as a whole and to your neighbors
in particular; and then look at the
matter as a citizen and as q man re.
sponsible to God and to the State, and
1 am very certains you will say 81

cation for a man to sell intoxicating

When a hotel-keeper asks you, re-
member you are not asked to license
the hotel-that requires none-you
sign for the saloon and for nothing
else. When druggists apply you have
something to do with their reputation
in the community. I will close this
already too long a letter by quotation
from the bible. And l thus quote from
Holy Writ because Delawareans reeog-
nize its binding force and fear its man
dates. Sickness or sudden danger
proves this to be true with the most
ndifferent-sometime to the edge OF
the ludicrous.
Very early in the history of the hu.
man race God declared: "The soul that
sinneth, it shall die" And again this
message to all mankind of every age
by his servant Habakkuk: "Woe, unto
him that giveth his neighbor drink
that puttest thy bottle to him anC
makest him drunken also"
The ever blessed Christ who so re
allied the terrible state of lost sou
that he deliberately left the glories o
heaven, came down into the earth il
human form and died on the cross
wrote for US these fearful words:

Coon Skins" at Last.

The logic of the free silver craze is
that the value of money lies in the
stamp and not the thing stamped. The
fifty cents worth of silver passing itself
off as a dollar is bad enough, but the
logic of the argument leaves no limit.
II the Government can make ffty cents
do duty as a dollar why not twenty
five cents worth of silver old rags, bark.
skins. cabbages, turnips, pumpkins,
anything? This idea has impressed
some of the free silver crowd, but few
of them let it out.
A Kentucky free silver newspaper
has a correspondent who is not so
sophistic. He settles the money ques-
ton as follows: "a rich mans dollar
should not be worth more than a poor
mans dollar, the purchasing power of
one dollar should be equal to every
other dollar. Coon hides, mink hides,
deer hides, etc, were once a legal ten
der when coin moneywas scarce. Have
not the people the right to call for
mink and coon hides to receive the
Government Endorsement again. They
certainly will The time has come
when the labOring people cannot afford
to follow the dictation of old chronic
Ofice-seekers, but look to our own in
terest."
So, there you are. Down to bottom
rock in the free silver argument and
coon skins at last. Why not? As we'll
coon skins as a 5O-cent piece called a

Silver and Reputation.

The Democratic New York Times
puts the case clearly and concisely.
Abiding to the recent declaration by
ex-Speaker Crisp in favor of unlimited
free silver coinage, the Times says
"What Mr.. Crisp now proposes is the
limitless coinage of legal tender silver
dollars, the payment of all debts, pub
lie or private, in coin intrinsically
worth fifty cents, and liable to be
worth much less-in other words,
partial reputation"
There it is in a nutshell, responds
the Troy Times, the plain, bald truth.
Columns and volumes of specious and
artful argument and hours of sound
ing Oratory will not alter the fact that
unlimited coinage of silver means re-
pudiation pure and simple. Senator
Voorhees, of Indiana, and Senator
Blackburn of Kentucky, are among
the Democratic leaders who have
their stand with Grip.

The New York Herald has discon-
tinued the issue of its weekly edition,
because "the legitimate field of weekly
news is filed to the satisfaction of
local readers by county and town pa
pers" The Herald shows not only
wisdom but a fair spirit toward its
country contemporaries. The country
weekly, filling circumsoribed field, is
often injured by the cheaper weeklies
issued by the New York dailies. The
latter do not fill the local field, it is
true, but they give an immense mass
of miscellaneous reading at very low
price, and there are people who look
at quantity rather than quality. Hun
dreds Of country editors, struggling to
make both ends meet, will thank the
Herald for its latest move.

Grandma's Bonnet.

What beneath that bonnet lies,
Which adorns dear grandma's head
There are peaceful smiling eyes
From which heavenly light is shed.
surely Gods sweet presence there
Could illume homely face,
Making it appear most fair,
Filling more than beauty's place.
Meath those casing bonnets, plain,
Which the dear grandmothers wear,
There seems little of lifes strain;
Peaceful happiness is there.
Souls which, lifted far above
All the petty cares of life,
Seem to shine with the Christ-love
Which doth lessen worldly strife.
Meath that bonnet, who could gaze
On a calm and spiritual face,
And not give to God full praise
That his life they there can trace
Eyes which have a clearer sight
OF foods spiritland above,
Shining with that inner light,
Teach us of our Fathers love.

claim that when Senator Watson by

Senate succeeded to the GOvernOrshiI

one month ago, the number of Senator
was reduced to eight, and therefore
there we're only twenty-nine on john

HISTORY OF THE DEADLOCK.

]. Edward Addicks has made good
his threat, uttered at the verv begin
ming of the contest, to prevent the elec-
ton of a Republican Senator from
Delaware if he could not secure the
prize for himself. He has Teen aided
In this by Senator Handy, who from
the first has conducted the Addicks
canvass, and Representatives Moore,
Ball and Robbins.
The deadlock practically began on
the night of the caucus, January IA.
Previous to the CAUCUS both the Higgins
and Addicks factions had been making
claims of an election on the first ballot,
but when the time for a caucus arrived
the Addicks forces bolted. Higgins
received votes, Massey and there
were two blanks.
On January 16 the first ballot for a
United states Senator was taken in
Joint session. Higgins received 10 OF
/ the 10 Republican votes, Addicks 8
and Massey 3. From that time until
the close the Legislature has
been in session six days a week, II hav.
ing been decided that at least one bal
lot must be taken each day until the
deadlock was broken.
The feeling between the Higgins and
| Addicks factions increased as the bal
Ioting proceeded, the friends OF the
latter repeatedly declaring they would
not desert their candidate even If II
caused vacancy Ia the United States
Senate. The Higgins following also
stuck firmly to their favorite until
within a few weeks past, when they
began to show q disposition to agree
upon some person acceptable to both
factions, but their overtures in that dl
rection we're spurned by the Addicki
adherents. Not until Thursday die
Addicks' entire force desert hiH, bu
four men returned to him. He has
never polIed less than four votes dur
ing the contest. During the past week
Addicks has been polling six votes
