If the president is desirous Of pro-
noting harmony in the ranks of the
Republicans of this state, and placing
Delaware permanently IN the Republi
can column, as doubtless he is, we be-
lieve he will take a long step in that di-
rectiOn by appointing Mr.. Conrad. We
do not think there is a man in the state,
of any party, who could find fault with
this appointment.-Milf Herald.
We find no fault with Mr. Spruance
for any opinions he may hold concern
ing The Single Tax, but we do find fault
with the intolerant spirit that prompted
a resort to the methods of the garroter
to silence an opponent. Mr.. Spruance
has a right to combat the Single Tax
theory in any fair and reasonable man
ner at his command, but he has no
right to use a little brief authority
conferred upon him for no such purpose
to suppress an agitation through
which a large number Of thoughtful,
/ intelligent and law-abiding citizens be-
ieve that a great economic reform is
to be achieved.-Sunday Star.
The people Of the country are now be-
ginning to realize how completely they
were fooled Instead of plenty Of work
! for the labOrer and money to burn,
they find business paralyzed, commerce
at a stand still, and failures in all ave
nues Of trade the rule. Instead of pros
pCrity they, find just the reverse.-DO-
yer Delawarean.
The Democratic papers Of the state
are unanimous in condemning the
course of the Every Evening IN the
Federal judgeship matter. The owner
Of that paper, however, can congratu-
late himself that he did have more
sense than to so down to Washington
and get the sitting down on by Senator
Hill like unto that which that gentle
man administered to a certain lawyer
in Wilmington who opposed the con-
flrmation of the Democratic appOintee
upon alleged personal grounds. DO

Hon. Thomas f. Bayard is now at
liberty to return to the United States
Colonel John Hay having been appoint
ed to succeed him as minister to Eng
land. While Hay is not so chivalric a
name as Bayard, IGnglishmen will find
the poet colonel no "seed," but a
scholarly gentleman well worthy to ill
Mr.. Bayard's shoes.-Cecil Democrat.
1t took the president less than a week
to discover that he must either neglect
public business or close the doors on
J the indiscriminate rush of Office-seek-
ers On Thursday it was announced
that those who desired to get in wore
as to official position must do so at
p. m receptions. 1t was an eifectua
knockout blow, but discouraging tC
"the boys" who furnished the bras!
bands and worked up enthusiasm las

]. Edward Addicks is untirlng in his
efforts to thwart any and all pOlitica
aspirations of his arch-enemy. An
thony Higgins, no matter what the lat
ter may undertake, either in his owl
interest or in that of his party friends
+ As soon as he hears Mr. Higgins is il
Washington, does Mr.. Addicks TAX
5 the first train for the national capita
u and hunt up his enemy, to stand nj
against him wherever he may find hin
and to use all his arguments and in
j fluence against him and his friends
e The same case in the fight for the po
p SltlOn OF Jnlleu STATES Judge lOi IN
- District of Delaware, when Addick
Z followed his enemy into the presenc
e of the president himself. VIII he sue

y Nothing seems more worthy of EN-
0 phatic popular support than the pro
d posed legislation looking toward the es
@ tablshing of a state work-house. TIL
T. fact that such an institution can b
r placed and maintained in Delawar
d without costing the state one cent, an
5. that soon 1t will pay a revenue seem
Il amply sufficient to remove all shado'
1t of doubt as to the passage of desire
