1t seems that under the present ar
rangement Delaware elects its COVER
nor on the day of the presidential cleo
ton and he serves four years. A strong
movement is on foot in the state to
change the date Of the election so that
1t shall occur between the national
contests, as used to be the case before
the death of Governor Marvil caused
a special election, which was for a full
term. The movement is we'll support
ed, but for all that it should be de-
feated. 1t is far better that all cleo
tions be held at the same time, both on
the score of economy and for other
reasons. There is an incentive to cor
ruption when state elections are so
held as to become straws to show
which way the political wind is
blowing, which does not exist under
ordinary circumstances.

One Of the most unpleasant incidents
of American college life wa the send
ing of a Yale university flag and a let
ter to a professional thug about to en-
gage in a prize-ight. The letter asked
the prize-fghter to hang the flag in
his corner of the ring, and assured him
that IL he won the fight 1t would de-
sight the hearts Of all true Yale men,"
+ was signed by a few members Of the
Junior class. This act was promptly
repudiated by the almost unanimous
sentiment of the university. The sur
prising feature of the incident is. that
students who had spent more than two
years in the university should have SO
meagre an idea of the proprieties Of
college life as to take such 9 liberty
with the Yale colors. and presume to
line up "all true Yale men" on the side
of one thug as against another thug.
There can hardly be a doubt that every
young man who signed hts name to
that letter is already ashamed Of the

He II Likely to BE the New Minister
to Spain.
New York, Jvne 1G. - A dispatch
from Nashville says that ex-Commis-
sioner Calhoun, who went to investi-
gate the Ruiz case and the general
condition of things in the Island Of
Cuba for President Mckinley, is the
man he is most likely to name for
minister to Madrid, and not Gen. Stew
art L. Woodford. Secretary Sherman
says:
mo. Gen. Woodford's name has not
been mentioned to me by the presi-
dent in connection with the post min
lister to Madrid. l know Gen. Wood
ford, and he would be an excellent
man for the place, but as l UNDER
stand it Mr.. Calhoun. who has just re-
turned from Cuba, is to be sent to
Madrid as the representative Of this
country at the Spanish court. There
have been a good many conflicting re-
ports made in regard to this mission,
owing to it's Importance at this time
and because the president has really
had in mind several gentlemen for the
place."

How many of the younger students
Of public affairs know that the greatest
power Of the president of this republic
is in the so-called pocket veto? When
he vetoes an act of congress and re-
turns it to the house, in which it
originated, it still can be made a law
by a two-thiris vote of the senate and
of the house of representatives. But
when he r~efrains from approving or
disappearing an enactment, the meas
ure dies at the expiration of the legal
limit of time for action after the adj
journment of congress. That is a pock-
ct veto, and from it there is no ap-
peal. 1t is an interesting fact that the
chief magistrate derives his greatest
power from a provision that is SEEM
ingly incidental.

Millionaire Berry Creates a sensa-

Mount Vernon, Ill. June 16. - The
young millionaire, James E. Berry,
was arraigned before Judge Wells on
a charge Of wife abandonment, pre-
ferred by his new wife, Mrs. Sadie
Miller-Berry. The case was set for
trial next Wednesday and Berry was
required to give bond for $500 for his
appearance. Great excitement ensued
when Berry objected to furnish bond
and began displaying all kind of bills,
and said that he would furnish the
bond himself without the aid of other
people, and, this not being permitted,
he made things lively by tearing a
$500 bill in two, while the spectators
stood struck with awe at his actions.
Several friends signed the bond.

The celebration Of the queens dia-

be one more interesting than Lord
Leicester. His statement that he act

British history, can ehtim that his
