LAvINGE ANXIOUS FOR A FINISH.

The New York Sun says: Davigne,
in company with his brother Billy, ar
rived in town yesterday from the West,
looking much the worse for the sound
thrashing he received from Jack Daily
at Cleveland last Thursday night. La
vinge is quite sore over the accounts
Of the battle, and declares that he was
not "out" nor "gOing" at any stage
in the fight. Lavinge's visit is TO in
duce DAILY to fight him again.Th kid
says that he will post 81 600 to arrange
go on the same conditions as at
Cleveland.
Lavinge does not underrate Dalys
ability as a boxer. He thinks that Jack
is a good man, but not in his class. In
talking over his future plans the light
weight champion said:
mo unprejudiced critic who saw the
mill will say that l was gone or that
the gong saved me in the final round
l wasn't in danger at any time. But
that is not here nor there. have come
here to arrange a battle for $4,000 q
side at 1877 pounds to a finish.

The Morning News errs when It says
that the Delaware Peace Society met
last night. It was merely the executive
committee meeting, and its action is
subject to reversal by the society when
it assemblies However, it makes little
difference whether 1T was the society or
It's committee The officials at Wash
ington are in a better condition to
judge of what is necessary to be done
in the present crisis than men who
know little or nothing of the inside
workings of diplomacy. All well-dis-
posed Americans deprecate war, but
every true man will welcome it il it is
necessary to uphold the dignity of the
nation, the rights Of our citizens and
the cause OF humanity. This is not a
time when few men can gather in a
bedroom and dictate terms to the ma
tional administration.

rHn MAYoR,s EXPOsITIoN.

Mayor McLears exposition of the
purposes of the new Republican club is
an very fine but it is impracticable at
the present time. All that it can ac-
complish is to organize those men who
are not allied with the Higgins and
Addicks factions It cannot break down
the organizations which are headed by
Hugh c. Browne on the one hand and
]. Frank Alice on the other. They still
have some fighting to do, some old
scores to settle. The factional differ
ences are too deep for eradication or for
the establishment OF a friendly feeling
and social and political harmony. The
factional differences which have caused
the loss OF the state to the Republican
party in recent years must continue
until one Of the two organizations sur
renders, and it is apparent that it will
not be the one which has had its regu-
larity recognized by the Mckinley ad-
ministration.
With two Republican parties in the
field contending for supremacy, how
can Il reasonably be asked OF members
OF political club TO refrain from the
factional discussions; to bind them
selves to support the candidates nomi-
mated in party conventions when there
are two conventions; to bind them
selves to support the authorized lead
ers in their efforts to elect the whole
ticket when there are two sets OF au-
thorized leaders and two tickets?
1t Is absurd. The new club must
cast its fortunes with the Higginsites
or the Addcksites, or fight them both
and be fought by both in return.
On the side of the Addicksites this
fight was begun to make Addicks the
Republican boss of Delaware, with a
seat in the United States Senate. On
the side Of the Regulars it was to elimi-
nate Addicks from Delaware politics. to
prevent him from succeeding Mr.. Hig-
gins and to save from destruction the
Regular Republican organization. Nei-
ther side has accomplished what II set
out to do The fight is still on in all its
bitterness. The organization which
gets in between the Higginsites and
Addicksites at this crucial point in the
contest has very little regard for its
cuticle and none whatever for the pub
lie interest

cult Court, has just handed down de-
cisiop on the rights Of newspapers 10
plead in justification in libel suits that
the articles sued on were true. It is a
decision Of vast interest to not only
newspapers, but to the public gener-
ally. The long and short of the deci-
sion is that II the substance Of the pub
hcation in its full and fadr meaning is
alleged and proved to be true, the jus
tffcation is complete.

Is there any good reason why the
city election officers should not receive
their pay from the Levy Court? They
have performed their service; the bills
which they have rendered have been
audited and certified to by the State
Department Of Elections. and surely
there is no good reason to compel
them TO wait for their monew until the
officers who served in the rural dis
trlcts are heard from.

CONSUEIO USES A TYPEWRITER.
The young duchess of Marlborough
has been communicating gentle shocks
Of puzzled surprise to her noble friends
and relatives in England by running
all her informal notes and letters off
on a typewriter For a time the very
conventional circle in receipt Of these
missives, so neatly printed out, even
to the address and signature. wondered
whether to laugh or cry, when to it's
infinite relief, it was found that the
ex-Empress Eugenie, on account Of her
failing eyesight, has adopted the type
writer wholly for that portion Of her
correspondence conducted by her own
hand. Added to this comforting news
was the information that the queen
can and does write very neatly on a
typewriter occasionally; consequently,
the writing machine has earned a dis
tinct social value in England. The
one the Duchess Of Marlborough uses
is Of American make. mounted on
charming little inlaid desk and very
sumptuOusly trimmed with gold and
red enamel wherever such decoration
is possible. The paper her little grace
uses in the machine is sent her from
the States. and is the ordinary quality
used for single copy work, but in the
center at the top of every sheet is
stamped a black ducal corOnet, with
tho letters c. M in gilt beneath
