Congressman as well as available

BITTER AGAINST ADDIcKs.

overlooked and Mr.. Houston taken.
BITTER AGAINST ADDICKs.
The Sussex County Republican,
which paper is partly owned by Robert
G. Houston, the nominee for Congress,
contains the following paragraph:
'Mr. Addicks will never represent
Delaware in the United States Senate.
Even if he could buy the Delaware
Legislature, which we do not believe
is possible, and elect himself to the
Senate, he would not be seated, He
has been repudiated by the National
Committee and the National Republi-
can party, as we'll as in his own State.
Republican Senators would not vote to
seat him and it is quite sure that Demo
cratic Senators would not do so. Why
then make all this noise and bluster
and division in the Republican ranks,
all for the elevation of one man, when
that man never can reach the position
to which he aspires?"
If the said paper believes everything
stated above to be true, why me soak
much convention over the legislative
ticket? It will be the height of folly
to defeat the party in the county and
State, to prevent an occurrence that is
not likely to happen. After achieving
the victory it will be time enough tC
settle the Senatorial question. If Ad
dicks cannot be elected, and could nOt
be seated if elected, Colonel DUPONT
or some other gentleman will GER
tainly be chosen to fill the place. Re
publican.
Colonel DuPont's claim to a seat il
the Senate will be recognized by thu
next Senate. Prominent Democrat
admit this much, and for that reasOl
are not disposed to make a contest TO
the place We believe that Mr.. Ad
dicks now sees this point and that h
is considering how to best get out G
the contest He may carry his cam
paign ON until election day, as
demonstration of strength merely, an
with the determination to destroy tn
party in his own downfall, or he ma
drop out long before election day.

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe's Cali
 fornia Limited Train.
 A ridiculous item is going the rounds to the effect that the splendid California Limited train of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa F'e railroad, which leaves Chi cago daily at 6 p. m., and arrives in Los Angeles and San Diego in three days and in San Francisco in three and a half days, is to be discontinued There is no truth in the statement. This train will continue to be run with the eouip- ment and schedule as at present ar ranged, and travellers to California will find on it all the comfort, safety and speed of the most modern railroading. Those who have been to California by the Santa Fe route do not need to be told that the great railroad keeps all it's promises to travellers, and those who intend to go can be sure that they will find on that route continuous and sat- isfying pleasure. The managers of the road give their patrons the best that can be had in the way of equipment and speed, and the best of care for their comfort and safety.

The Consolidated road has received a letter from a firm of attorneys in Bridgeport giving formal notice of an intention to appear on behalf of certain Bridgeport taxpayers before the Con- necticut railroad commission on We'd nesday to oppose the four tracking agreement between the city commits sion and the railroad company. The decision Of the state railroad commits sion in the matter becomes under the state law an order and is final, but it is understood the agreement will be re- sisted by application to the courts for an injunction on the ground that the compact violates the state constitution by allowing the city to make a dona- tion to a railroad corporation or aid it by loan.
 This is the constitutional proviso passed in 1877 to stop the abuse of town aid to railroads. The present infica- tions are that there will be some legal delay before work on the costly Bridge port improvement can be fairly begun
