The presentation Of the portraits OF
ex-governors of Delaware to the state
brought together a number OF prOmi-
nent men at Dover on Thursday, and
the sentiment displayed will rightly
serve to increase the love we bear for
our commonwealth and its traditions.
The collection is historically valuable,
and, ais has been said, "the ties that
bind DelawareanS into one great fam
lily have been drawn closer" through
the carrying out of this commendable
proIect.-Sunday Herald.

The appropriations made by Council
total S61l 1876, and it cannot be
urged that the amount could have heen

The Council has not been extravagant
in this direction. II is estimated that
the general revenues for the year will
amount to SS4,5 leaving to be raised
by taxation the sum Of s526 935.15. The
tax rate, should every dollar Of the
taxes be collected, would realize S54S.-

SUCCESSOR
Oscar S. Straus Nominated
Minister to Turkey.
Has HELD THAT POSITION BEFORE.
Represented the United States at Con-
stantinopie During President Cieve-
lands First Administration Sketch
Of the lsew MI listers Career.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE presi-
dent yesterday sent the following nom
inatlon to the senate:
Oscar s. Straus of New York to be
minister to Turkey.
This viii be Mr.. Straus' second COM
mission to Turkey. President Cleve-
land sent him to the Ottoman empire
during his first term. Mr. Straus made
such an excellent record that President
Harrison endeavored to keep him in Of
fee. Philanthropic organizations tried
to induce Mr.. Straus to remain, but the
latter did not see ft to accede to these
appeals.
The selection OF Mr.. Straus by Presi-
dent Mckinley for this important post
is another high compliment to Mr..
Straus' valuable services in the past.
Mr.. Straus belongs to a distinguished
family. His brother, Isidor Straus, was
a representative in congress, while an
other brother, Nathan Stratus, has been
leading figure in municipal affairs In
New York and was, until his recent
resignation, the president Of the health
board
Mr.. Straus is AZ years old and the
youngest Of the three brothers who are
partners in the firms OF L. Straus &
Sons r. II. Macy & Co. and Abraham
& Straus in Brooklyn. Mr.. Straus enter
ed Columbia college in 1867 and gradu-
ated among the first honor men in 1871.
After graduation he attended the Co
lumbia College Law school, from which
he received a diploma in 1873
He began the practice Of law in the
firm Of Hudson G. Straus, which after
ward became Sterne. straus & Thdmp-
son, his partners being Simon Sterne,
the distinguished authority on interna-
tional law, and Daniel G. Thompson,
well known as the author Of many
works on metaphysics.
In 1884 Mr.. Strans was one Of the or
ganizere Of the great merchants move
ment in New York in favor of the cleo
ton Of Grover Cleveland. When the
campaign was over, he retired to his IL
brary and again devoted himself to his
favorite literary pursuits. His friends,
however, urged that his eminent serv-
ices in the campaign were worthy of
recognition by his appointment to some
post Of high honor, and in 1887 Presi-
dent Cleveland appointed him minister
to Turkey.
on becoming minister Mr. Straus' first
action was in behalf of the American
schools and missions, many Of which
had been closed but through his inhu-
ence We're reopened. When President
Harrison's administration came into
power, Mr.. Straus resigned.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION
PLEA FOR BRITISH SYMPATHY

PLEA FOR BRITISH SYMPATHY.
Our contemporaries cannot see the
serious commercial loss which the war
means to the United States; imports
and exports must largely seek and quit
that country through Canadian ports.
Where is the cOmpensating gain? They
cannot accept the assurances Of both
houses Of Congress and of the presi-
dent OF the United States that the an
nexation of Cuba Is not a purpose in
the campaign just inaugurated-that
the very idea Is offensive to the presi-
dent as rejecting discreditably upon
him and upon his Cabinet. We accept
the words OF President Mckinley as he
would accept the word of the queen. his
only ruling friend, absolutely. That
France and Italy and Portugal should
sympathize with Spain is clear enough
TO us. Why cannot the same consider
ations be applied to Britain and Amer
lea?

scHLEY ANp HIs WORK.

If the reports which come from the
West Indies are supported by facts,
Commodore Schley has made a most
daring and brilliant exhibition of the
prowess of American arms. lie has
followed the example set by Admiral
Dewey, although his work has not been
attended by the same signal and over
whelming success. because he has
greater forces Of resistance to meet and
overcome.
1t requires a brave heart to order
large vessels OF war to reduce fortifica-
tions at the entrance of a harbor and
then to send them through a tortuous
channel, in which mines are laid, to re-
duce the inner fortifcations and to
meet and annihilate whatever obstacles
the enemy may have placed in the way.
But the bravery, intelligence, enter
prise and tenacity Of the Anglo-Saxon
race win accomplish anything. They
are the best elements Of character
which to-day dominate the world.
