NO COMPROMISE WITH ADDlSho'
That the Regular Republicans take
no stock whatever in the Union Re-
publican plea for harmony, we have
stated time and time again. Here Isl
corroborative evidence taken from an
editorial printea in to-day's Sussex
Republican:
No one Is likely to be deceived by
tbis cry of harmony and unity, eminat-
inc from the camp OF Addicks.
His newspapers are so unanimous
and fnsistent that all who read can
readily understand that general Ar-
der 10 that effect has been issued from
the headauarters OF the Union Republl-
can party of Delaware, now located IN
the city of Philadelphia, State OF
pennsvlvania. All these professions OF
allegiance to Mckinley are but sham
and a part OF a plan OF campaign adopt
ed by the Addicks leaders for the pur-
pose OF deceiving the voters, who are
RulUble and of landing ]. Edward Ad-
dicks in the United States Senate.
And this is followed by a bitter ar
raignment Of Addicks and Addlcksism
from which these extracts are taken:
Can the leopard change his spots
Are we to believe that this new mush-
room party desires any unity whatever
with the Republicans whom they hate
fully and sarcastically designate as
"bolters." Can anyone who has tried
TO honestly vote for the best interes
OF his state and for the Republican
party and who in an effort to vote al
his conscience dictated has Away
stamped the eagle at the head Of thl
Republican ticket, recall a single In
stance wherein the leaders of the Ad
dicks party have honestly desired, o
acted as il they desired the help ant
assistance OF the Republicans? Instead
IL has been harsh criticism and abuse
and even now when these leaders pro
fess TO want unity they cannot sup
press their hatred nor refrain from ex
pressions of contempt in their news

ed desire for unity? Study the situa
tion and you have the answer-the

TAKING ADVANTAGE OF 1T.

The Federal Government is taking
full advantage of the military spirit
aroused in this country by the war
with Spain and the Filipinos. Not only
the standing army, but also the navy,
will be materially strengthened.
Secretary Of the Navy Long has call
ed for estimates for the requirements
of the naval service next year. and
most of them have been prepared
Tney show a big increase all along the
line. Washington dispatches state
the largest item is SiS,OOO.OOO under
the head Of Increase Of the Navy. ="
which is S5,OOO,OOO more than any pre-
yious estimate under this head It is
due to the unusual number OF war
ships now in course OF construction,
aggregating fifty-four in all classes, a
total much in excess OF the number
under construction at any previous
time in the history OF the navy. These
include eleven battleships, four moni-
tors. three armored cruisers, six pro-
tected cruisers. thirty-three destroyers
and torpedo-boats, and several miscel-
laneous craft. submarine boats, etc
1.-The item Of Increase OF the Navy
covers the work already authorized
land now in course Of construction
both in engineering and structural
branches. and is concurred in by Ad
mirals Hiohborn and Melville, chief
of the construction and engineering
bureaus, respectively.
Admiral Melville will also make es
Inmates for new engineering plants
equipment, tools, buildings. etc. a
Norfolk, Port Royal, Port Orchard ant
Mare Island, Cal The plants are old
r and the requirements now made ol
them induce the chief engineer to rec

and docks, will recommend two NOR

BUSINESS OF THE WEEK.

This is Bradstreet's summary of the
trade of the country during the past
week with an exceptionally heavy
business already booked for the latter
portion Of the year, the mercantile
faces the trade situation
with confidence, testified to by very
general firm prices and with quota
tions in a number OF lines showing
further marked advances. The most
Conspicuous exception to this is found
in cereals, which are weak and declin-
ing. Most staples are either firmly
held or evince decided progress up
ward, notable in this latter respect be
ing iron and steel OF all kinds. Trade
reports would seem to indicate that a
good part of the productive capacity
OF the country is already engaged for
the first half of 1900. Sympathetic
strength is evinced by other classes Of
material, among the materials advanc-
ing this week. being bar iron at nearly
all markets, steel billets, rolled iron
and steel, tin plates and nails. A fea-
lture remarked upon in nearly every
dispatch to Bradstreets this week is
the backward state Of iron deliveries
affecting current production. Though
demand is backward for anthracite
coal at the East, prices are reported
further advanced at the interior and
predictions are of further advances at
tide water in the near future. Scar
city of material and backward deliver
les of same are reported by clothing
manufacturers at many points North
West and South. Discussion Of the
proposed consolidation Of Fall River
mill interests has been less marked
this week, but there is confidence in
, some circles that something OF the
; sort will ultimately transpire. Lumber
: retains all its old activity, and in some
Hines manifests new strength as re
b CARDS prices. The refined sugar wal
5 apparently still continues, one result
p being the stimulation of consumption
!, to a notable extent A good business
a is doing in tobacco at most markets
r General trade advices are of further ex
s pansion in Fall demand. Jobbinl
e business in Chicago in August is re
p ported to have been the heaviest oi
b record for that month, specially heav.
s orders being booked for dry goods
+ clothing and collateral lines. Through
:. out the Central West and in the North
west wholesale business is reported ac
d Tive in most lines Satisfactory re
l, ,lports come from most Southern mar
Il kets, those being most marked, how
l. ever, in sections devoted to industris
Is and manufacturing business. Specit
8 activity is noted in iron, coal and lun
Der. Satisfactory reports as regard

FIRST DAILY WAS WRITTEN.
LOndon's Earliest Newspaper Was in
the Manuscript of It's Cor
respondents.

It has been discovered that what may
be called the first daily newspaper was
a manuscript letter written by salaried
correspondents and forwarded to them
every "a hours from London to the prov,
intes. That was in the days of the early
Stuarts.
During the commonwealth these Lon
don letters were printed in type and
circulated in large numbers. Even so
long ago as 1850 the law of libel was
such as to be characterized by Judge
Scroggs as making any newspaper pub
licatlon illegal and tending TO provoke
breach of the peace.
Defoe, the author of Robinson
Crusoe," was one of the early journal
lists, his paper being called the Review.
Then there was Tutchin, whose weekly
publication, the Observer, cost, accord
ing to evidence he gave in court of
justice, half a guinea to print, though
the typesetter evidently raised his price
to 20 shillings. The Observer had a GER
tilted circulation of 266 copies.
Afterward there came the Grants,
Steele, Addison and johnson, who
might have lived in the vicinity OF
Grubb street, but were court favorites
for all that.
The Times employed the first foreign
correspondent in the person of Henry
Crabb Robinson, and succeeded in
"scooping" the government itself in the
news. of the battle of Waterloo.
