ADDRESS,,

The opportunities Of the public at
large to vote for the man Of their choice
for United States Senator are COD
spicuous for their absence.
THE Sun offers an opportunity for
everybody to express their opinion as to
who is the best man to represent the in
terests OF the Diamond State in the
councils of the nation. ss-,
This is an opportunity that has never
before been accorded to the people of
any state within the history Of the ma.
ton n
The plan is simple.
Fill out the coupon at tine head of this
column and send it to The Sun. We pub
lsh the number Of votes received by
each candidate every day in order to
keep the voters posted.
THE SUN also makes this offer. The
winner in this contest has the privilege
of naming any charity in the state to be
the recipient of one hundred dollars,
which will be paid to the said charity by
THE SUN.
The contest will continue until the
first ballot is taken in the Legislature.
There is no law or requirement which
makes it necessary for you to sign your
name to your ballot, though we would
rather you would. They will be counted
just the same, however, if YOU do not
wish your opinions known.
Send in your ballot and help win that
$l00 for some deserving charity.
All votes credited to each contestant
do not necessarily represent all the votes
received for each contestant. They
merely represent those that are counted
up to 12 midnight of the day preceding
The vote in THE Suns senatorial
contest at II midnight stood as fol-
lorc.

The Single Tax movement in this State
is making progress backward. In 1896
the total vote cast in the State by the
Windlords was 9l4, but this year the
total vote was only S20, a loss of "a. The
party lost 1G5 votes in this city, but
gained in rural New Castle county, So
in Kent county and 10 in Sussex coun.
ty. 1t has cost considerable money and
much wind to thus reduce the total vote
in the State, and if the Windlords keep
at it long enough they will have their
list of voters reduced to the few speak
ers and writers now under salary. The
Single Tax effort in Delaware is more OF
a farce than overwhelming Ne~s.

The Republicans will have majority
in the General Assembly. What will
they do about the Senatorial question?
Will the Regulars turn In and help elect
their mortal foe, or will they, as in 1895,
prevent the gas man from achieving his

The Democratic State ticket has been
defeated and the Republican ticket
eected. The General Assembly will be
Republican on joint ballot, although the
Senate will be Democratic by one. For
the second time in its history the Re-
publican party of Delaware has elected
its State ticket and gained control of the
General Assembly, and it will be with
much concern that we shall watch the
course of its control, for in the past its
management of public affairs in this
State has not been for the best interest of
the people or to the credit of its officers.
Delaware is Democratic State. and the
victory of the Republicans on Tuesday
last by no means disproves this claim,
and for the reason that for one cause
and another more Democrats than the
Republicans had majorities did not vote.
A large majority of the stay.at-home
Democrats refused to pay the 81 regis
tration fee and thereby were not able to
vote.-Sraford Neus.

MISS DowNrAIN's RESIGNATION

In the resignation OF Miss Lulu
Marie Downtain as librarian OF the
Historical and Antiquarian Society
at Charleston, the Society sustains
severe loss, and it will be hard to
I'LL her place. She has been IN
charge of the rooms of the Society
Tor nearly five years, and took great
interest In the work and never
seemed to tire OF showing aud ex
plaining the exhibits to the many
visitors who found their way into
this very interesting department of
the State Capital. Through her
efforts many valuable collections
of rare historical value and other
specimens were contributed or
loaned to the Society. Miss Down.
tain resigns the position to engage
actively in newspaper and literary
work, for which she has a great
liking and splendid ability in that
line. Miss Pearl Martin has been
elected by the Board of Manage
ment to fill the vacancy.
MISS Downturn is daughter OF
Major Downtain, of Huntington,
one OF the best known Newspaper
men In the State. and for a long
time editor of the Advertiser, but
now holding u good position IN the
Pension Department at Washing
con. Miss Downturn has for some
time held position on the repor-
torial staff of the Charleston Ga
zette, andl writes up the society
notes and special column of
"West Virginia Sifrings" every day.
Hard work aud too close confiue-
ment to her duties was telling on
her health, WIS anoth her reason for

lis an oyster fish ?" This ones
ton has been raised by the fact
that the special committee OF the
Maryl md Legislature, appointed
to confer with similar body from
the Virginia Legislature regarding
oyster dredging and grabbing IN
the Po'omac, would raise the
point that oysters were not fish,
and tn It. therefore, they we're not
included IN the compact Of 1885,
whereby equal rights Of cushing"
we're allowed to be enjoyed by the
Virginians with the Marylanders.
One of the STAFF of the biological
department Of John Hopkins Uni
versity said:
1.-The question is very simple
one. | don't know what the oyster
Is legally or religiously, but zoolog.
ically he certainly isn't fish. In
the first place, fsh is q vertebrate
animal and an oyster is a mollusk.
This difference Of back bone
makes the two widely separate in
the animal kingdom. In addition,
fish is very highly organized,
while the oyster is Iowly organ
lied animal. Fish in zoology is a
definite word. and is applied TO
fishes or pisces. but its popular
use in law or religion may have a
more ex ended meaning"
Speaking Of the sumo subject,
Cardinal Gibbons said:

that Mr.. Pitzer's wings will have to
be cropped before he can light on

easily as Mckinley did. The Jour.
nal, ofthis place, recently gave the
young man big send off in order
to appease the Republicans ID this
county who are bowling for Day
tons scalp. but it looks funny on
the part Of the Journal.man, who
got his postoffice through Dayton
all right enough. Here are some
silvery echoes TO nook Mr.. Pitzer's
day dreams and haunt his restless
couch at night:
Ii any Republican is to represent
this district in Congress, we would
ike to see our old school mate.
Grant Ptzer, there. But-and why
is IT there are always butts and ifs
IN this life-did not Mr.. Piizcr

INC StroDSest languages he could
use, be declared that unless the
nations Of the earth speedily de-
clared for international bimetallism
he wanted the United States gov
eminent TO go into the free coinage
OF silver on it's own hook. MIR.
Pitzer couldn't deny these words il
he would, and he wouldn't If he
could, for the Vigor With which he
spoke left no doubt of his earnest :
ness. We are quite sure that be is
not going to give up bis convictions
on the silver question for the sake

gets Che nomination the support he
Will have from the Leather Trust
