TIE DELAWARE SENATORSHIP.

The organization of the lower branch OF the
Delaware Legislature, after deadlock las''ht'
several days. derives its chief interest from i's
bearing upon the coming election OF n ohl'eu
States Senator to succeed Mr. Gray on March =.
The organization was accomplished by means
of a combination Of regular Republicans anu
Democrats. whose votes seated regular KepuD-
licans in all the offices Of the House. leaving the
Republican followers Of Mr.. Addicks with ONLY
n faint hope of sending him or one OF his kind
10 WASHINGTON The fact that Democrats 1ur-
nlshpd eight of the eighteen votes necessary 10
effect the organization, and that they were usen
TO put Republicans in control Of the House, mas
ut once suggested the supposition That Demo
Graf Will be elected Senator and consequently
that Mr.. Gray will succeed himself. In the
mean time the Addicks contingent talk IN their
accustomed manner of "going down like men,
fighting for our rights"
II would naturally be n source OF regret 70

circumstances should make 1t impossible to NIL
Senator Gays place with trustworthy men,
Der of their party, but we believe we make no
mistake in saying that it would be far more to
their liking and to the advantage both OF the
marty and the country to have Senator Gray
elected for another term than to have his seat
occupied by Mr.. Addcks or by any man con-
genial to Mr.. Addicks and bearing his credeh-
tails That scheming politician asserts that the
Republican party Of Delaware owes much 10
him; but 1t Is not forgotten there or elsewhere
that the most conspicuous thing 1t owes to him
is the defeat of an able and upright Republican
candidate for the United States Senate four
years ago. At that time the motto of the Adj
dicks men was Addcks or nobody, and they
were finally enabled by INSCRIPTIONS and adrot
manipulation to achieve the latter alternative.
Having complete jurisdiction, the Senate. against
reason, as many if not most authorities believed
refused to seat Mr.. Dupont, holding that by the
continuance Of Addcks he lacked one vote OF n
majority on the joint ballot OF the Delaware
Legislature, Governor Watson having been In
duced to act for that single occasion as mem
Der of the body with which he severed his con-
necton when he became Chief Magistrate. Such
was the final determination Of that prolonged
contest Technically. correct or not it was the
consequence of Mr.. Addlcks's selfish and treach-
erous conduct, and it confirmed the detestation
with which honorable men of all parties re-
garded him and his methods.
1t may still be possible that Republican in

chosen to succeed Senator Gray, but IL not we do
not hesitate to say that we hope Senator Gray

NETWORK SOCIETY LIBRARY REMOVAL

PLANS NO NEARER REALIZATION THAN WHEN
FIRST DISCUSSED.
The removal OF the New-York Society Library
from It's present home, in University Place. between
Twelfth and Thirteenth SITS. seems no nearer
realization than when 1t first discussed with
reference to the possibility of its occupancy OK the
old library building OF Columbia University. in West
Forty-ninth-st.
Soon after the Columbia property In Forty ninth
st. came into the possession of DR.. Octavius A.
White the owner proposed to the trustees OF
the society library the removal OF that library to
the building vacated by Columbia. The proposition
was considered by the trustees and by its Building
Committee which Is composed OF Archibald ID.
Russell, Edward King. Frederick de p. Foster and
George V. n. Baldwin, but according TO MI Bad
WIN the committee unable to agree with DR..
White to terms.
The old library OF Columbia is fireproof, an adj
vantage not possessed by the present building OF
the Society Library. but certain alterations would
be necessary, and the cost OF removing ten thou
sand volumes so. many Of them OF much value,
had also be considered. The alterations and
the removal would cost about 10000, 1t Is thought.
Mr. Baldwin thinks too that II the Society Library
moves further uptown II should chose site nearer
the line OF Broadway.
The sale OF the property In University Place now
owned by the New-York Society Library Is regarded
BY the trustees necessary preliminary 70 a
removal further uptown.

STATE RELIGIOUS CONFERENCE.

Most ChristiansAwe presume even those VINO
would like to bring 1t about, have little nope OIL
any immediate reunion of Chrstendom. Every
denomination contains n few cathollc-mindeo
men willing 10 waive their UNCONVENTIONAL pref
erences for the sake OF unity. But the great
majority Of the members Of every denomination
could not be brought to that point. Practlcaily,
indeed. they are wont to lay the most stress on
those articles of their Christian belief that dir-
ferentiate them from other religious bodies, ana
they would therefore regard surrender OF
those articles as virtual surrender OF Cnris-
family. Theoretically this may be matter FOR
regret since II forces Christianity in the aggre-
cate TO maintain and defend large body OF de-
nominational opinions and traditions mutually
contradictory and some OF which, for that rea-
son must be either untrue or non-essential. Yet
this is fact that must be taken into account,
end until some radical change In Christian
thought takes place 1t Is an insuperable obstacle
10 an organic union Of Christendom.
But while Christian union Is out Of the ques-
tion. there Is n growing sentiment In favor OF
closer unity among the Protestant churches
looking TO occasional INSTRUMENTATION con-
ferences and some practical scheme OF co-Opera-
ton IN certain lines Of church work. The
Worlds Parliament Of Religions, In Chicago. in
1893. was an attempt 10 give expression to that
feeling on a large scale. 1t was a declaration
that underlying all religions are certain unites
OF thought, feeling, aspiration and ethics, and
that men Of all faiths confess their spiritual
kinship and respect each others beliefs without
disloyalty to their own. In the rank and file OF
Christians however, this was simply a counsel
of perfection. 1t seemed to them subversive Of
The faith they professed 10 acknowledge that
there was anything good or true In other relig-
ions: and for that reason the Parliament OF Re-
lgons was In some respects a failure. The
time was not ripe for II, and the large-minded
and loyal Christian men who took part in II
found themselves the objects Of much popular
suspicion and prejudice. Nevertheless, the Par
| lament was not wholly barren Of results. 1t
set many earnest men to thinking along larger
| lines. The gathering together Of men represent
| ing every religious creed emphasized the triv-
iality OF the questions that separate Christians.
and ever since. therefore. there has been a
marked growth Of respect for honest differences
Of opinion among Christians. This feeling has
now taken 4 concrete form. A large number of
representative Christian and Jewish ministers
and laymen in this State have issued a circular
letter calling for the organization Of State con-
| ferences Of religion somewhat on the lines OF
the Parliament of Religions. Among the sign.
| ers Of the letter are such men as Drs Leighton
