MEXICO FEAKFULLY SHAKEN.
Racked From End to End by Two Earth.
quakes.

guakes.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
City of Mexico, Jan. 25.-In point of
duration the earthquake of Monday
evening was the most severe ever
known in the history of Mexico.
The movement began in the City Of
Mexico at exactly 9.05 o'clock. The
oscillations were from northeast to
southwest, and lasted | minute and So
seconds. Three minutes later came a
companion shock, which lasted five
seconds, also oscillatiug northwest and
southeast. The movement made per-
feet cross.
The earthquake was felt over the
entire republic and it had a general
movement from the Pacific 10 the At
lantic. 1t reached Colima at 7.05
o'clock, oscillating from east to west.
1t lasted l minute and 20 seconds. 1t
reached Vera Cruz at Els, and the
oscillations were from south to north,
lasting 10 seconds.
Many houses we're cracked in this
city. Some were entirely ruined. Fully
a dozen walls were crushed and broken
in the National Palace.
A two-foot iron pipe, carrying water
from Chapultepec to the city, was
broken in seven places. Intense cold
and other phenomena followed.

snoula Provo a salutary warning.

The fate of the Rev. Charles Collins,
the negro preacher-p politician of Kent
county, should prove a salutary warn
ing to all who may be tempted by cor
rupt politicians to commit crimes
against an honest suffrage.
Collins was convicted Of violating
the Constitution by offering "a bride
to citizen for the purpose of inducing
him to get registered and vote. His
game was another negro named Alfred
Lewis, whom he met while out driving.
Lewis said he did not possess a dollar
with which to get registered, when
Collins, pointing down beside the wheel
of his carriage, said, "There's dollar.
pick it up" Sure enough, there was a
dollar, which Lewis picked up and
used in payment of his registration fee.
Obviously, Collins had dropped this
dollar purposely, in order that Lewis
might pick it up. The court before
whom he was tried Chief Justice Lore
and Judge Pennewill-took this view
and adjudged him guilty. He was
uoutSuctu W OLA iiiOutlS iillpiisoulueut,
Then the Republican politicians of
Kent county rose in righteous indig.
nation. They declared that the Rev.
Mr.. Collins was martyr. They took
nm appeal in his case and bailed him
out of prison. They assaulted the
validity Of the law under which he
was convicted. They were going to see
that he had his rights, even if they
had to carry his case to the Supreme
Court of the United States.
All of this sounded very high and
mighty, but it was mere froth. What
the Republican politicians wanted was
Collins work and influence at the
election, for he was power among the
negro voters. And so they secured his
release, and he did good work for
them on election day.
Mark the sequel: Collins thought he
was going to become national char
acter and pose before the Supreme
Court Of the United States. But not
SO, The election was over, and the
Republican politicians had no further
use for, him. And so, when his case
came before the Supreme Court Of
Delaware, at Dover Monday week, his
Republican friends surrendered him
and abandoned the appeal. And now
Collins goes to Jail to finish his sen,
tence.
Such is the sad fate of the Rev. Mr..
Collins. As we remarked above, il
conveys a salutary warning. 1t also
bears testimony that even Republican
politicians after the election is over
admit the efficiency and soundness O.
the suffrage reform provisions of oul
new Constitution, particularly those
which place the trial of offences in tn,
hands of the court, instead of iuries
Let us hope that the effect of tn,
Collins conviction will be to maxi
politicians and all others realize thi
potent point before the elections a
well as after.

tion with the merging Of the lines. The
stockholders Of the four respective COM

during prolific fruit seasons. The Della.
ware railroad connects at Delmar with
the New York, Philadelphia g. Norfolli

How many young men and young
women are cut off just as the future
seems brightest and fullest of promise |!
They are taken away by the disease
which causes over one-sixth of all the
deaths in the world-the disease which
doctors call consumption. There is alb
solutely no reason in the world why
consumption should be fatal why it
should be even serious. 1t is disease
of the blood, and can be cured abso-
lutely and always By purifying and
enriching the blood. The only ex-
ception to this is the case where the
disease has been neglected and i'm
properly treated until it is stronger
than the body until the body has be-
come so weak as to have lost the
ability to recuperate. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery will cure IS
per cent of all cases of consumption if
used according TO directions. 1t also

For Il NER ROAD.
Commission Heard Testimony of Mill Creek
Hundred People.

The commission appointed to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY of making new road
and strengthening an old one in Mill
Creek hundred sat at the Court House
and heard testimony on the mat
ter. The commission comprised j.
Wilkins Cooch, W. T. Biggs, Reuben
Satterthwaite, J. W. H. Watson and
John Evans. The petitioners for the
Improvement were represented by
Leonard L. Wales, Jr. Benjamin Nields
appeared for the John Peonle's estate
and Peter L. Cooper, Jr., for the
Franklin Fell estate.
A plot of the proposed road was pro-
duced by Engineer Thomas A. Bedford.
The proposed road is to run from the
Lancaster turnpike at Peoples lane, to
the Greenbank mill on the Hockessin
road, and will be about one and three
fifth miles long. 1t is held that the
new road would be shorter than the
present roads. The commission will
make a return on the subject to the
Superior Court.

The news from the Philippines is
most disgusting. 1t seems that the
followers Of Aguinaldo are determined
to fight for their Independence and to
fight just as hard against the forces of
the United States as they did against
the forces Of Spain. OF course, the end
viii be different, as they will have to
submit or be annihilated, but the gov
eminent of the United States cannot
afford to proceed to such extremes.
Even if the islands would prove Of
great value to this country, it would
be an act of rapine and robbery to
crush a people who are fighting for
independence and free government, in
order to steal their possessions. And
when the fact is considered that the
possession of the islands would prove
q burden, instead of benefit, then we
will not even have the excuse of paltry
gain for our cruel and oppressive war;
fare against these people. Is it not
time to cry a halt in this utterly de-
fenceless raid upon the Filipinos, be-
fore there is further bloodshed, robbery
and tyranny to be charged to the dis
credit Of our country

The heavy rain storm on Tuesday was
accompanied by thunder and lightning
of unusual severity for this time OF
year. In fact, the storm sounded more
like one in July than in January. So
far as is known, the lightning did not
do any damage in the city, but there
was considerable damage to private
property by wind and rain. Some trees
were uprooted, fences blown down and
wires damaged. 4

Theatre parties and costly wine din
ners in Philadelphia might easily lead
to absentees at the ensuing days ses-
sion of the Legislature, should the
members attend them in any consider
able number. And then Senator
might be slipped on the next ballot.
1t will be better, therefore, for the
members to decline such invitations
until the session is over. Perhaps they
will not be troubled with them then.

a Protest That should Not Be Needed.

Mr.. Goldsborough S. Griffith, presi-
dent of the Maryland Prisoners Aid
Association, has sent to each member
of the Delaware Legislature a copy Of
his protest against the use of the pill
lory and whipping post in this State.
In this protest, Mr.. Griffith gives
place to the same surprising and
ignorant misrepresentation that he
made in a recent letter in the Balti-
more American, to which attention was
called at the time.
! He alleged that victims of the pillory
were compelled to stand in the stocks
the allotted hour, stripped to the
waist, in all kinds of weather, when it
is known to all who ever saw cnlprit
in the pillory that he is allowed to
wear all the clothing he chooses. 1t is
only during the few minutes required
for castigation at the post that the
victim is required to be stripped to the
waist. He also greatly exaggerated the
extent Of the flogging, describing the
lash as s'cutting into the quivering
fiesh," when it is known that no whip
ping in Delaware for more than a score
Of years has been severe enough to even
scratch the skin on the culprit's back.
We respectfully suggest that nc
matter what the Legislature may do in
the direction Of prison reform in Della.
ware, it should pay no attention to the
protests of one who, either wilfully OF
ignorantly, so grossly misrepresents the
actual situation, particularly one who
is a citizen of another State, to whose
shortcomings he may with more pro
priety direct his efforts.

Referring to the silly wit Of the New
York Herald in calling anti-expan-
sionists 'aunties," the New York
World designates some of the latter,
such as Cleveland, Hoar, Vest, Ed
munds, Carlisle, Carl Schurz, W. Bourke
Cochran, Samuel Golnpers, the labor
leader, and others, and adds: ut is a
very humorous word of course; but
when applied to the great body of sane
Americans who are opposed to the craze
and crime of Philippine annexation and
the assimilation of Malay pande-
monium 100000 strong and 10000
miles distant, is it not rather mis-
fit?"

There were further interesting devel-
opments, Tuesday, in the various sena-
torial contests now in progress through
out tho country. In California, one Of
the leading contestants, U. S. Grant,
reluctantly testified before the bribery
Investigating committee of the Legis-
lature that his expenses during the re-
cent campaign had been more than
$40, 900. OF course, it is well-known
what this implies, and it ought to keep
Mr.. Grant, who is simply posing upon
the name of his illustrious father and
the influence of his personal wealth,
out of the Senate forever.
In West Virginia the situation is
very exciting, and separate ballot
was taken Tuesday, resulting in 46
votes each for John 7. McGraw, Demo
crat, and N. B. Scott, Republican,
with two Republican members refusing
to vote for the latter. Several con.
tested seats are still pending, and it is
said to the intention Of the Democratic
House and Of the Republican Senate to
throw out opposition members promis-
cuously until one side or the other has
the margin on joint ballot.
In Nebraska, Wisconsin, Montana,
Washington and Utah, the senatorial
deadlocks developed no changes.
-Four new Senators, however, were the
result of the days voting. They are
John Kean, Rep, in New Jersey, to
succeed James Smith, Dem. ex-Gov-
ernor G. A. Culbertson, DEM, in
Texas, who succeeds Senator Roger Q.
Mills, Dem; Senator Clarence ID.
Clark, Rep, reelected in Wyoming,
and Senator William NJ. Stewart, Sill

The Republican proposition to wipe
out the one dollar registration fee is
regarded by the Lewes Pilot as 1.-THE
first signal gum indicating the policy
of the boodlers. . The tax is rather
too heavy for the party to carry, it be-
lieves, and as the move is made by one
of the parties in the habit of paying
money for political purposes it is sur
missed that they were guilty of paying
the registration fee of a majority of
their voters at the late election. Fortu-
nately, the Pilot concludes, there are
several Instructions in the way, and
then it may be only a bill for bum
combe. a sop to the fellow that sits on
the fence on election day.
