rHE cnRRENCY QUESTION.

An advocate of the Currency Commis-
sion plan says: Banking is a business,
not politics. Finance is a science, net
an artifice to catch votes Coinage is
not a matter to be left to a caucus or TO
men who are merely the creatures of
manipulatOrs OF caucuses. A currency
commission ought not to be made up in
any degree of politicians out of a job,
etc" This is mere phrase-making. 1t
is an aggregation of words for the pur-
pose OF artifice. Suppose banking is
business and finance a science. What
of il? The demand now is to get down
to plain facts and performances in line
with the spirit Of a republican form OF
government; not to remove the money
question further away from the people
than it is now. Why should there al
WAYS be disparagement OF caucuses and
politicians? What is q caucus? Moth
ing but a conference in which the great
American principle of majority rule is
asserted.
II President Mckinley appoints a cur
rency commission of saints they VIII

No man will be qualified for member

CONTEMPORARY OPINION
THE SEALING CONTROVERSY.

This whole controversy is deplOrable.
For years it has stood in the way of a
cordial understanding between America
and Britain. The Paris Tribunal of Ar
bitration instead of making matters
better has seemed to make them worse,
for instead of leaving us free to keep
the poachers out Of Bering sea it has
imposed that duty jointly upon the
American and British governments. In
1895 and 1896 the British Government,
it is charged, shirked it's responsibility
and left our cruisers to act alone, mean
while hampering their activity by all
manner Of petty technical objections.
And yet 1t is easy to demonstrate
that Great Britain really has just as
much at stake in the preservation OF
the seal herds from wanton des-
truction as we have The skins which
the American hunters take are pre-
pared in London. If the seals are ex-
terminated by reckless Canadians
poaching, as our government believes
they will be unless something is done,
il will deprive these British workmen
of their livelihood
In all probability this whole dispute
would have been long ago adjusted if
Canadian politicians had not been in
teresIed in protTacting it. Left to them
selves America and England could have
found q satisfactory and final settle
ment. One of these Canadian function
aries in London now is blusteringly
charging that the Americans have
never Loyalty accepted the Paris
award" Our actual complaint is that
the other parties in the case have failed
to live up to it's stipulations.
II is evident that Ambassador Hay
will have abundant need of both tao

AS no CONSUL HIGGINS.

No Republican president ever made a
more popular appointment from Della
ware than did President Mckinley
when he selected Hon. John c. Higgins,
of Delaware City, for the consular post
at Dundee, Scotland. Mr.. Higgins is a
Republican, but he is more than poll
tician. His mind is too broad and his
views too liberal to permit him to be-
come a hustler and rustler in politics,
and he was too honest to become
party to the Addicks conspiracy to at
tain political success in Delaware by
the wholesale debauchery of the states
electorate. He is known throughout
the East as an agriculturist OF the ad-
vanced type, and his activity in behalf
OF agriculture has made him friends
wherever his work is known.
When Mr. Higgins accepted the CUB
ernatorial nomination from the regular
Republicans and thereby accomplished
the defeat OF John H. Hoffecker, the
Addicks candidate, he conferred upun
the people of this state a blessing the
full extent OF which many Delawareans
do not realize or appreciate He broke
the back OF Addicksism and corrcption.
The Addicksites declared that he had
damned himself forever politically, but
the presidents action in selecting him
for such an important consular post is
a vindication of which he may well be
proud.
We wish Mr. Higgins all the pleas
ures and profits which go with the con-
sular office in the charming Scotch port
to which he has been assigned, and in
doing so express the sentiments Of all
Delawareans excepting those OF the
hide-bound Addicks type, whose senti-
ments and wishes are not considered
here of late.

THURSDAYS ECLIPSE.
PHILADELPHIA PROFESSOR
TELLS WHAT HE KNOWS ABOUT

A PHILADELPHIA PROFESSOR
TELLS WHAT HE KNOWS ABOUT
1T.
Professor M. B. Snyder, of Philadel-
phia, has the following to say about the
annular eclipse of the sun, which will
occur on Thursday morning, beginning
before 8 and ending shortly after II
O'Clock:
The beginning of the eclipse as com-
puted for Philadelphia will take place
at hours 43 minutes 1 second standard
time. jhe first contact occurring at the
position angle on the solar disc of 259
degrees, reckoning from the north point
round eastward. The end of the eclipse
happens at II hours T. minutes % sec
Onds. the last contact having a position
angle of 149 degrees, counting from the
north point eastward. At the maximum
observation a little less ,han One-half
of the solar disc will suffer eclipse.
while the scientific interest in par
tial eclipses scarcely extends beyond
observation of the times of the actual
phenomena for comparison with the
times computed on the basis of lunar
tables of somewhat uncertain accuracy
there are always new tests to which one
could wish to put even apartial eclipse
Unfortunately our present instruments
do not permit us to undertake such
tests. And we are therefore just at this
time supremely interested in securing
the necessary information for the com
mittee concerning thenew instruments.

The Union Republican party is un-

in gold mines. His henchmen have al
ready extended the olive-leaf to the reg

it, though they may soon. Without Ad-

DISTRIBUTING THE sPoIs.

The road to political fame may be
an unusually rough one--it has the
name of being such, at least-but re-
gardlcss of whatever truth there may
be in this popular impression, it is a
certainty that it leads to a very rocky
summit The road to political fame in
America leads to Washington. Oft
times the machines that essay to carry
candidates in that direction break
down and occasion heartbreaking de-
lay IN landing their passengers at this
famous political Mecca Perhaps then
only candidates can keenly appreciate
the roughness of the road.
But when the legislative pilgrims
reach this towering summit of their
public aspirations what comforts do
they find? Do their troubles end with
the first glance at the Capitol dome?
No. but they never think of crossing
the bridge until they come to it, There
is an army OF this class of pilgrims at
Washington just now, however, who are
finding the path an unpleasant one.
President. senators and congressman
suffer increased discontinue in accord
ance with their rank as marks for the
office-seelxing highwaymen who lay in
wait for them.
Indeed, so bold are the Republican
brigands for the spoils of fortune that
the subdued Democrats may at least
take a melancholy delight in looking
on. AS a matter OF fact now that Con-
gress is drawing to a close and the Of
fees are being finally disposed of, the
various senators who are supposed to
have influence are being besieged by
those who think they ought to have
recognition. The senators who live al
hotels are having an especially hare
time, because the persistent callers
have found out the numbers of theil
rooms. and do not wait to SEND a card
but go at once to their apartments a
all times Of the day and night hopinl
for a personal interview. Naturally
Mr.. Hanna is the most sought afte
man, but for the last month or so h
has adopted a new plan to get rid of hi
early callers. He engaged room in
private house near the Arlington, an
when he wanted a good nights rest h
would go to this place. But we are in

It may be that the drift toward prC

In the development of the Southern
Railway nearly thirty roads have
been merged into one, and now there is
no other railroad in the country oper-
ated under a single charter which has
so great a mileage. It's lines penetrate
into every rich mineral, agricultural
and timber region, and by its elaborate
system of through Pullman cars every
commercial centre in the South can be
reached from Philadelphia without
change
The Southwestern Limited leaving
Broad Street Station at 6.55 p m. daily
carries through sleeping cars for Ashe-
ville Chattanooga, Nashville, Savan-
nah, Jacksonville, Tampa Atlanta. New
Orleans, Birmingham and Memphis
The Fast Mail, leaving at 7.20 a. m,
carries through sleepers from Washing
ton to Jacksonville. Atlanta and New
Orleans, and other prominent interme-
diate points not mentioned above.
The physical condition of the road
is of the best, and all trains can be
safely operated at a high rate of speed.
The limited trains are equipped in the
most modern style, and carry dining
cars, in which all meals are served.
Taking it all in all, the Southern Rail-
way will compare favorabiy in every re-
spect with any of the great trunk lines
in the East.
