DUPONT DEFEATED.

The U, S. senate yesterday ended the
long drawn-out senatorial contest by q
vote of 80 to 81 by knocking Dupont out.
His defeat was accomplished by the
Democrats and Populists sticking to-
eether as they had agreed to do more
than a week ago.
In the campaign of 1894 the Republi-
cans invaded little Delaware with the
express purpose of capturing the state
and holding it. 1t was a campaign, if
desperation, and money flowed like
water. j. Edward Addicks, a gas mag
nate, put up the swag by which the
little commonwealth was to be debauch-
ed, and the Republicans all winked at
the scheme and everywhere Addicks was
characterized as "a hale fellow well
met"
But when Addlcks demanded some Of
the political plumber for which he paid
spot cash, the Republicans of Delaware
objected and wanted to give it to Sena
tor Anthony Higgins. This clashing Of
interests produced a deadlock in the
legislature, Addicks claiming that mas.
much as he put up the "stuii" to enable
the Republicans to win the victory the
senatorship belonged to him, and there
was no time during the struggle that
Addicks could not have been elected il
he could have received the united vote
of the Republicans. In the meantime
the governor, who was a Republican
died and the speaker of the senate, who
was Democrat, became acting Cover
nor. As acting governor, he claimed
the right to appoint successor to Hig'
gins, but the Republicans cast Is votes
for Dupont and have fooled away all oi
this time in trying to make the United
States senate believe that 10 was a ma
jority if 80. Addicks persistently
claimed all through the struggle that il
he did not 90 to the senate no Other
Republican would. He made good his
threat by going to Washington himself
and lobbying against Dupont, The de
feat of Dupont will leave the Republi
cans two short Of majority in thu
senate.

BICYCLE DANGERS.

The bicycle exercise is becoming ex-
tremely dangerous. The other day in
New York twenty people were injured
in one afternoon in one way or other
One of the injured has since died. If
city councils do not legislate upon this
matter the legislature will have to.
While the beginners need little adj.
vice, a word Of caution to the experts
will not be out of place. A man will
take greater risks on wheel than he
would think of taking if he were on foot.
He feels sure OF his ability to ride n
chalk line on to go at great speed, and
he will cross the track in front Ola trolley
car or he will pick his way through a
bunch of wagons, where slight mis-
calculation will throw him under the
wheels Of the vehicles, When he has
done this thing once he feels sure that
he can do It sgain. Then, too, he will
rush In front Of spirited horses, frighten.

THE CONTEMPT BILL.

While Senator Hills bill regulating
punishm. ut for contempt of court ap-
parently provides protection against
judicial tyranny, it really fails to do so
The measure provides that when con-
tempt is committed in the presence of
the court, summary punishment may be
inflicted, When a contempt is COM
mitted outside the court and not in the
presence of the judge, the arrest must be
made on complaint duly filed, and the
accused may demand jury trial. Such
trial, however, cannot be had unless the
court permits it. This is the weak spot
of the bill, for If jury trial is made
optional with the court defendants can
not insist upon it as a statutory right.
Unless the bill shall be so amended as to
accord jury trial as right, it is as well
that it should not pass at all.

JOHN n. TANNERS NOTORIOUS
RECORD.

In 1867, John X. Tanner shot and
killed man, and it was claimed in his
defense that the man had first flung an
ak at him. He was convicted of man.
slaughter, but the judge set the verdict
aside, and at another trial he was
acquitted on the ground of having acted
in self-defense. John Il. Tanner is now
the Republican candidate for governor
of Illinois, and his friends point to this
circumstances as a redeeming feature of
his career. There are some in the state
who donot agree with that view, however,
and among them the Chicago Evening
Post, which forcibly says; "One homi.
eide does not atone for his lack of
educational, moral and general fitness
for the chief magistracy of the great
state of Illinois. 1t does not condone
his other shortcomings, his INSCRIPTIONS
use of machine methods, his dissolute
early life, his notorious career as poker
sharp, his borrowing money from De.
mocratic state treasurer when the action
was penitentiary oflense, or his adjourn-
ment of the legislature last year to pre-.
vent an investigation Of boodling on the
pitiable plea that such an investigation
would injure the Republican party and
perhaps defeat his ambition to be Gov
ernor."
