items In dispute betw. en- the Senate and
House Of Representatives, among them
being the expenses Of the United Statse
courts. For some time psst the appro

from adequate, and ss q con quence
some OF the courts have bsen obliged 60
close up shop. as there Was not enough
money on hand to pay jurors and Wit
nesses or to support prisoners pending
their trial
This year the senate and house each
reported material increases in the several
appropriations. and a compromise was
reached whereby these increases while
materially lessened ars still ahead OF the

81. 500 600, aud the sum finally agreed
upon was an even $1,000 600 This
means an increase Of $3.50. 600 which will
be divided among this class OF officials
and will make p trling addition TO their
remuneration; just how much win fall

rules and precedents at Dover on last
Tuesday week I.ignored every principle
which regular Republicans hold so dear
In their dealings among themselves.
Minority representation. by county caucus
was ignored; the principle OF representa-
tion according to population was OUT
ragged by the large increase granted to
Kent and Sussex counties, aud the whole
affair was run along one man lines and
with such marionetto characteristics
that the regular Republicans were
cisgusted.
Headed by the regularly constituted
State Central Committee, they Withdrew
from convention which was so unrepub-
lican in character, aud set up rival
convention along Republican lines. They
made denuncatory declarations against
the Addicks party aud placed themselves
under the guardianship Of the Republican
State Central Committee, the term OF
which will not expire until next septem-
ber. Hence they constitute the regular
Republican organization and, as such,
will be recognized
Finding thst the regular Republicans
had carried the official head and heart Of
the organization with theln, the Addicks
party elected State Central Committee
Of it's own. with the regular Republican
State Central Gem mlttee still IN existence
and authorized BY party rules, to set
until next Fall.
Now for the result:
The Republican State Central Commit
tee will call the State Convention 70
uame the candidates for governor and
representative In Congress. and to
enunclste the Republican platform
This call will not be recognized by the
Adiicks party The Republican party
will have It all its own way and in the
course Of proceedings. declare "Republl-
cin for ita name aud the eagle for tie
dovior."
The Addicks Slate CantrAl Committee
Will also call State Convention to make
nominations FOR tho same officers and to
build the platform upon which it will
oNhAN NNAihk hho NoA4Auk fhHp
That call will bs ignored by the Repub-
Ilcsn party and there will be no clash.
Before adjourning, the Addicks party in
convention assembled, will declare that
It is the Republican party and adopt the
same old eagle for It's emblem
Then the matter will drift into the
hands OF Clerk OF the Psacs jeff 5rson B.
Foard, Of New Castle county; Clerk of
the Pescs Charles J. Harrington, Of
Kent county, and Clerk of the Peace
John B. Dorman, Of Sussex
county, ell Democrats and sensible
and fair minded men. Before
this tribunal tho case will be
tried to a conclusion, and the weight OF
partisan advantage and political fairness
will constrain them Co give the Republi-
cen party the benefit o. any doubt which
may arise regarding the title and emblem
VIII ich Addioks so covsts.
Taking Il for granted that such will be
the case, we may rest assured that the
Addicks party will have name just az
euphonious If not as catching As the
word "Repubican." and that its em6l EN-
will be both fair and fetching.

 KID MATHEWS TO THE RESCUE.
Fannie Nichols Case of Arson Dismissed by
 Judge feagin.

The most important case before Judge Feagin of the inferior court yesterday was s-that of Fannie Nichols, charged with arson, she having been accused of setting fire to the building she occupies over the Chinese laundry on Twentieth street, be- tween Third and Fourth avenues. The defense claimed that Monday afternoon about 2 o'clock the woman dropped a lamp on the floor and set fire to the spill ed oil to burn it off and put it out before any serious damage was done to the prop erty. The prosecution claimed that the woman had been ordered by her landlord to vacate the room and that she poured the oil on the floor with malicious intent.
 Her main witness was Kid Mathews. Kid stated that he was in Fannie's room when the fire occurred and 1t was all the result of an accident and that he helped
 to put it out. The most striking feature of the case was that when Kid concluded his testimony Captain Donelson, T. z.
 Haygood and R. w. Walker, three popu- lar city officers, were placed on the stand and each swore that he knew Kid Math- ews' character that it was not good and they would not believe him on oath in a court of justice. Considering all the cir cumstances, the judge was satisfied that If it was the intention of the prisoner to commit arson she recanted so soon that not much harm was done, and dismissed the case,
