An saa,cns I.r,.lntars.

In thG course of an interview with
Philadelphia Ledger correspondent,
which is reprinted in another part OF
to. days paper, Mr.. J. Edward Addicka
states his intention of having trump"
Legislature Mt Dover this winter. The
object OF this bumptious boo. is not to
pass laws, but to go through the farce
Of elenting Mr.. Addicks to the United
States Senate. This is in accordance
with the policy outlined at the meeting
of the Addicks State committee a few
days after the election, when the
Sussex contest was determined upon,
for the purpose of securing an alleged
Legislature to give Mr.. Add;cks an
alleged title to the Senatorship.
A most remarkable feature about
this interview ia the impudent
assurance with which Mr.. Addicss
claims this "rump'' Legislature as
his personal possession. He frankly
admits that he will pay all Of it's ex.
penses. Ny men," he complacently
remarks. .have no expenses TO pay for
making those contests, as | will do all
that. = He will also pay their salaries,
no doubt at rates to be mutually
agreed upon, instead of the per diem
fixed by law for members Of legal
Legislature.
] This shows the utter lack OF principle
| involved in the movement. Ii is NOT
the sturdy, determined fight of men
who feel that they have been deprived
Of their just rights. 1t is the despair
ing move of political corruptionists who
recognize that. depite their most
desperate efforts. they have fallen short
Of what they started out to achieve.
Even should the Kent county decision
be in their favor, the Addicks Re.
puhlicans will still be 10 the minority
in the Legislature ON jpint ballot, and
unable to elect Senator. Therefore,
they have trumped IN miserable,
haseless contest in Sussex county,
where they we're squarely beaten despite
their corrupt tactics, and on the basis
of this contest will organize ,'rump'
Legislature that will give Mr.. Addicks
a worthless certificate of election Il
tho Senate Of the United States. That
the latter body will incontinently
kick such wrstched credentials out o.
the Senate doors goes without saying.
However, IL the man Addicks desiret
to indulge in the experiment of !;
"rump' Legislature, there is no reasoI
why he may not. He will be- expectet
to pay the bills, and his hirelings will
no doubt continue 10 do his biddin!
as long as their saaries are fnrthcom
ing. But it will be simply roarint
farce, in which AddiclSs and his foo
followers will be the laughing stock O
the entire country.

How low the cause of Addickism has
sunk may he inferred when even such
u rank partisan paper as tnu New York
Tribune feels impelled to refer to it in
the following terms:
That the Republican party of Della
ware ia disgraccd beyond measure by
such an exhibition of monumental
audacity, combined with trucking
cowardiGe and base venality, hardly
need be said. That Mr.. Addiclis, with
even all his brutal candor, should
make public such purposu and such a
programme seema incredible. That he
should succeed in it we cannot believe
possible. Better the election of Willard
salisbury or any other Democrat, gold
or silver or even Populist than that
tho Unitod States Senate should be
contaminated by tine presence Of such
a man or the Republican party dis
graced by such an association. A Re.
publican majority in the Senate is at
important to the SUCCESS of the incom.
ing Administration and the passage Of
laws necessary for the general welfare,
but not important enough to be pur
chased at any such price. There ia M
emergency, and we may we'll doubt i
there could be ono, to justify il.

Here is a striking incident connected
with tho tariff hearing before tho
House ways and means committee ar
Washington. Monday. Ii is told by
the New York World:
Chlorate of potash sells at seven cents
pound. II is used in making matches
explosives, &c. Only one firm makes
it in the United Sta,e5. That firm.
never at any time employed moro than
fifty hands. Yet it asks Congress to
impose tax Of five cents pound on
saven-eent chlorate, or, az Mr.. Me.
Millin puts it, TO tax all the people
greatly more than 30 per cent on an
article Of general Use in order TO enable
one firm 10 employ fifty Horkmen. 1t
would be cheaper TO give each of the
fifty workmen twice his wages M II
pension.
and So it goes. Every expectant
beneficiary Of protective tariff wants
all tine rest Of the people taxed for his
especial benefit.
