Dr. Thomas G. Moore, of Smyrna, one
or the Addicksite legislative candl-
dates. is very much aggrieyed over the
publication in the Smyrna Call OF a
speech he is reported to have made
TO the negroes of Whopping, a suburb
of his town. Two Dover lawyers have
been retained in his behalf, and he
proposes to sue the paper for libel if
1t does not retract it's utterances. He
must have been exceedingly hard hit.

City Council should not hesitate to
appropriate the money neces-
sary for the opening Of Eleventh
street from Madison to Adams streets.
Several commissions have acted and
the work of the lastonewas SO equitable
that neither the city nor the property
owners appealed for a review Eight
new houses are already in course OF
construction at Eleventh and Monroe
streets. Plans for four others have
been prepared and eight or ten addi-
tiosal ones are assured as soon as the
opening is made. In few years the
amount of the award win be fully paid
by the taxes accruing from the new
houses built in the neighborhocd It
would be a blunder for City Council to
fail to heartily cooperate with the
Board Of Directors of the Street and
Sewer Department to bring about this
desired result.

Some days ago we called public at
tention to the fact that Hon. Edward
g. Bradford, judge of the Onited
States Court, had failed to register. and
was therefore not qualified to vote at
the election next Tuesday. Since then.
it has come to our knowledge thar Hon.
Levi c. Bird, another Republican
equally well known, has also volun-
tarily fcregOne the privilege OF par
ticipation in the approaching election.
Neither can countenance nor support
the deal between Republicanisnl and
Addicksism. No one doubts the Repub-
licanism Of Mr.. Bradford and Mr.. Bird
When conditions become such that
they cannot vote the ticket OF their
party it is time for the average Repib-
hcan voter to stop and think. Tne-e
must be something radically wrong TO
lmpel them to refrain from the exer-
else OF the duties of citizenship. Here
tofore both have been prominent fac
tors in the party, and it is probable mat
never before did they fail to vote. The
plain, unvarnished truth Of the mat
ter is that they cannot, ais self-respect-
ins Republicans, become parties 10 the
alliance with Addiclls and AddiciIslsm.
There are hundreds OF other Repubh-
cars, just as indignant and just as self
respecting. who will so a step farther.
They have registered, and they will
vote the Democratic ticket as an evil
dence Of their repudiation Of the neal
between the want-to-wiE Regular RE
publicans and the Addic'Ssites.

He was deeply disappointed at not

petroleum dealer, enabled him to

had made an ARRANGEMENT with

THE MOUNTAIN IiApnRe

Ex-United States Senator Anthony
/ Higgins has permitted himself to be
interviewed on the political situation
in Delaware. Lying on the political
shelf where Addicks placed him four
years ago, with a reporter sitting be-
side him, he has said his say, with all
OF the impressiveness of a voice from
the tomb. With fitting reverence the
reporter has recorded his utterances.
and we have them before us. The whole
burden OF his song is Mr.. Bailey, of
Texas There Is not a word concern
ing the condition OF the Republican
party in Delaware. No mention Of the
surrender Of the old Higgins organiza-
tion TO Addicks. No word OF rebuke TO
Judge Bradford and Hon. Levi c. Bird
for having failed to register. No praises
Tor the Regular Republicans OF Kent
county for refusing to comebeneath the
yoke Of Addicks. No word Of condem-
nation for Robert G. Houston and his
fellows in the Sussex county sell-out.
George Fisher Pierce, Charles r. Rich
ards and William "A. Gum are not even
mentioned Hugh c. Browne and j..
Frank Alice are utterly ignored. John
H. Hoffecker is only referred to by i'm
putation. Patrick Neary and John T.
Dickey are lost sight OF altogether
Even the poor workingman's tin din
ner bucket is swallowed up in the all
absorbing topic OF Mr.. Bailey, Of
Texas.
When Regulus stood in the midst of
his enemies ne raised his voice in de-
fance and said:
Woe to thee, Carthage! Woe to
thee, proud city Of the watersl / Gee
thy mobiles wailing at the feet of the
Roman senatorsl Thy citizens in ter
rorl Thy ships in flames! ] hear the
victorious Shouts of Romel I see her
eagles giittering on thy ramparts!

curse Of Jove is on theel A cling1ng.
wasting curse 1t shall not leave thy
gates till hungry flames have licked the
fretted gold from off thy proud palaces.
and every brook runs crimson to the
seal"
When ex-senator Anthony Higgins !
gave an interview we expected him to
cast off the cerements OF the political
graveyard and make a declaration
which would thrill the state and con-
found his enemies by its eloquence-to |
emulate the example of Regulus. But
be has disappointedboth his friends and
his enemies. After four years Of brood

no wiser than il was before.

The Republicans and Addicksites are
becoming SO frightened that the lead
ers are Offering to trade certain Of
their candidates for Democratic votes
for other of their candidates. Our ad-
vice to Democrats is to refuse any and
all trades. The Democratic ticket is
safe in its entirety, and there is abso-
lutely no occasion for any Democrat
to make a trade of any kind with a Re
publican. Vote the straight Democratic
ticket, and let the Republicans and Ad-
dicksites look out for their own candi-
dates in legitimate channels, and not
be trading Taylor for Clark and Clark

no Democrat should be a party to IT,

the order finally passed, the upper board
| rereding from its first action.
Mr. Cloudy also introduced resolution
| to the effect that the custom of giving
monthly dinners at the alrnshouse by the
oyerseers Of the poor to which the citizens
at large were invited and the cost of
which was betrayed from the appropri.
alton for the support of the poor, was very
unheooming on the part of the eyerseers
and it was the sense Of the city council
that the monthly dinners of the overseers
should not be continued.
In support of this resolution Mr..
Cloudy spoke of the condition of the aims
house which is very we'll conducted BY
the master and matron, but which is en-
tirely inadequate for the city's needs and
should be remedied as sool as possible.
| 1t is not the amount OF money which is
involved in these suppers which Mr..
Cloudy objected to, but it seemed inap.
propriate that they should OCCUR at the
! almshouse where there were SO many
| worthy poor who were perhaps at one
| time comfortably well off as any of the
oyerseers Of the poor.
There were always more applications
for election as overseers of the poor than
for any other city office and there would
| be no fear of the oyerseers not trying for
reelection If their suppers we're pro-
hihited The patriotism Of these men on
| the board Of overseers, go Mr.. Gondy said,
seemed to be largely dependent upon the
| good things they obtained once month
at these dinners. He thought it decidedly
unwise to srepd money in this way which
was calculated to support the poor. He
thought it was wrong to invite citizens
at large to go to these dinners to eat
| turkey where there were SO many poor
people who were dependent upon the
city for their daily bread.
] Mr.. Waldron said he had been out TO
!, these suppers and had noticed that Mr..
Goudy was there, too, and had eaten az
| heartily as anyone. He snid that 1t
seemed to be % very poor return for the

to bring this matter up. The overseers

which cost the city little or nothing,

favor of the passage Of the resolution
which finally did pass. The upper board
voted to non-ooncur. A committee Of

have passage and it finally did pass
both branches.

council recede from it's first action of
non-concurrence with the board of alder
men and pass the order. The first vote
taken on the matter was II to s, and
the passage of the order was prevented
as it requires two.thirds vote to pass

the passage of the order at this time
were:
Messrs. Lefavor, Huston, Driscoll, Ros-
enberg, Barker, Josselyn, Gondy, MILF

Those who voted against the passage
of the order were Messrs. Mclaughlin,
