SENATOR MOOREs COURSE.

Senator w. r. Moore, of SUSSEX
county, is a fair-minded man and one
who knows that. in the performance Of
his senatorial functions, the interests
OF the people should be paramount to
any personal feelings OF resentment
which he may entertain against Gov
ernor Tunnel. Knowing this, we can
not credit the news which comes from
Dover that he proposes to embarass the
governor by endeavoring to prevent the
confirmation Of the appointment OF
Roman Tammany as superintendent of
free schools in Sussex county The
former incumbent was w. w. Knowles,
son-in-law OF the senator. This fact
makes it all the more impossible for
Senator Moore to set up an opposition
with credit to himself. In confer
ring the power Of confirmation or rejec-
tion upon the State Senate the Consti-
tutional Convention never intended
that it should be used to work out the
personal spite Of place-seeking men,
no matter who they are or what they
are. The only thing for the State SEN
ate to consider is whether or not the
man appointed by the governor is pos
sessed OF such character and ability as
will enable him to properly discharge
the duties of the office
Knowing Senator Moore's character.
we hesitate to accept as true the state
ments that he will fight the confrma-
tlon Of Mr.Tammany on the narrow and
untenable ground that he would rather
have had his own son-in-law reappoint-
ed. Such a course would irreparably
injure BON him and his son-in-law in
public estimation.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION
THE HANNA INVESTIGATION.

THE HANNA INVESTIGATION
II will be extremely -unwise for Sen
ator Hanna and his close personal
friends either in Washington or Co
lumbus to eyince annoyance on account
OF the Investigation which has been or
dered by the Ohio Legislature into the
accusations of bribery connection with
tho late hot contest which resulted in
Mr.. Hanna's election by majority OF
one. Murat Halstead, who has GER
tainly shown himself to be very zeal
GUS and in some respects very shrewd
newspaper friend OF John Sherman's
successor, has made the mistake, in
some Of his published letters, of SEEM
ing to be angry and disappointed be-
cause the bribery talk did not stop as
soon as the decisive vote was cast.
OF course, Hannas partisans do not
In terms oppose an investigation. They
cannot do that without committing po-

We do not expect to see anything
tangible come OF the ordered inyesti-
cation. AS we have already pointed
out, nothing thus far has been proved
of an duplicating nature or even made

WISE AND HI1MANE-

The cause of Spain and Cuba is dead.
Autonomy was the last card, and that
has failed. Warfare against the insur-
gents seems to have ceased. The de-
mand for troops now Is to protect
General Blanco in his palace and over
awe the mob within the Spanish lines.
This condition OF affairs carries every
suggestion of a collapse, and when the
collapse comes. unless timely prOvis-
ion is made for the protection of those
in peril, the destruction will inevitably
be great. Is it difficult to conceive of
what the situation in Havana will be
If the mob finds a competent leader and
rises to real work? Why not intervene
now while il is time? Why not in
sist that Spain shall remove her dead
tree by the roadside, her crazy house
which threatens the lives of so many
people?. Il would be both a wise and
humane thing to do.
The presence OF an American war
ship or two in the harbor Of Havana
would serve a general good purpose.
Primarily, American interests would
be considered. But il is altogether
likely that other interests would be
suhserved. General Blanco himself.
even, might rejoice. for If the end
comes by force instead OF by Spanish
surrender, Havana will be by far too
hot an old town for the Spanish com
mander and his lieutenants to live in
for a single day longer. They might
even apply in desperate straits for an
asylum under the Stars and Stripes
and, if permitted be the first fellows
to scramble up the sides on ia the deck
OF the American Washington
Star.

meets every requirement, and is
cheaper to the taxpayers by many
thousands Of dollars year. Members
OF the General Assembly should kill,
without ceremony, any bill sent TO
them having for its object the instltu-

come, when the city has assumed much
larger proportions, such a proposition
will doubtless receive serious consider
alton, but not as long as fires are ex-
tinguished as expeditiously as they are
at present by the volunteers.

EAR-RINGs oNcE AGAIN.

Touching a matter of import. honesty
demands faithful reporting of the fact
that rings are dangling from many
pretty pink ears, says a woman who
keeps abreast with the fads and fancies
Of the fair To tell the truth. these
have only been seen in the 'hupper
surcles" of society, but who, pray, sets
the fashion, if not that very ccterie?
To make these barbarlc ornaments
popular, the jewelers. are contriving the
more sensible little attachments by
which earrings can be comfortably
worn and no cruel hole forced through
the under lcbe. From the top of the
ring a thread-like gold hook passes up
into the hollow of the ear in front and
at the back little gold foot lies
against the tender lobe with a firm, yet
not annoying pressure. Thus the orna-
ment is hung on safely and painlessly.
Stud eardrops are most distinctly out
Of this new race. Long, lovely drops,
so long as to almost touch the neck, are
the mode, though a pair of perfect
pear-shaped pearls dangling from the
tip of the lobe are, like solitaire dia-
mOnd rings, the expression of utmost
elegant refinement in jewels.

1t is quite remarkable that the Lib
eral party of Great Britain and its
prototype in this country, the Demo-
cratic party, should both find them
selves without an issue. Both have
hung to dead issues and dallied with
exploded theories until they now find
themselves distanced and out of the
race. The great world is moving,
moving too rapidly for men who ride
hobbies. Home rule kept the Liber-
ais together for time, when it be-
came known that it was insincere the
fabric fell Free trade was the Demo-
cratic shibboleth until tested and
shown to be the greatest fraud of the
age. AS opponents to business and
progress Democracy is a success on
both sides OF the Atlantic. Only that

Three years ago the balance of trade
was in favor of Europe to the extent
OF $50, 600, 600 to $500, 900, 600, and
we were constantly sending gold to
the other side. For the past eighteen
months it has been all the other way,
and gold has been pouring back into
the Treasury, due to the large in
crease in our exports, and a cores
ponding decrease in our imports. 1t
is estimated that the total imports
for the year will amount to about
$3.50, 600, 900; the exports to 81, 500, :
600 900.
