The Next Governor is an Addiclss Man.

The Next Governor is an Addiclss Man.
Little or no surprise will be occa-
stoned by the news sent from Dover
Monday, to the effect that Governor.
olect John HUM had announced that
he would appoint DR.. Caleb X. Layton
of Georgetown to the Office OF Secretary
Of State.
When it became known that DR..
Layton was candidate for the APP
pointment, the general belief was that
no would reoeive it, because he is ono
of the most faithful and subserviont of
| all the faithful and suhseryient Addicks
Republicans in Delaware, Tho belief
that Governor elect HUM was the
same kind of an Addicks Rel ublican
strengthened the belief that he would
make DIR. Layton Secretary of State.
When John HUM was first brought
forth for political honors by the nomina-
tion for ieutenant-governor on tho
Union Republican ticket, little was
known about his political antccedents.
as he had previously taken but q small
pant in local or State politics. And
when he was accepted by both Republic
can factions as candidate for governor.
the Regular Republicans hoped that
he would prove at least neutral, il not
independent, 30 far as favoring one
faction or the other was concerned.
But before the day OF election it was
known to certainty that ne had been
allied with tho AddiolSs faction IN pie
vIous campaigns, and had served as an
| inspector at the Addioks Republican
primaries two years ago. In spite oI
this know ledge, the Regular Republi
} cans voted for him solidiy at the polls
doubtless hoping that as governor hi
. would free himself from factiona
r alliances and be the governor of thu
l whole people.

of State, however, Governor-elect Hum

of needless and onerous taxation, which
fact is recognized by the secretary,

selection of DR.. Caleb r. Layton of George
town for Secretary of State is condemned
by the Regular Republicans of Dover and

Throughout his listration, Gov. Hum
will appoint only strict Union Republicans
to office despite the protests of Regular and
conservative Republicans"
Many Republicans, however, doubt whether
the Senate will confirm the appointment OF
DIR. Layton as Secretary of State,

4 TWENTIETH CENTURY YIsIoN.

Into the void "A world was flung,
To Join the spheric choir;
On its appointed way 1t swung,
ROBBED in primeVal fire.
Unon its hot and glowing face
The cooling floods descended.
The land and ocean took their place,
The sky above them Bonded.
The sun and rain, the ice and frost,
Chiseled and carved it daily,
Till all the surface was embossed
With mountain, stream and valley.
Game fish and reptile. bird and beast,
BY bounteous Nature nourished.
Came man, the mightiest and the last,
Who multiplied and hourished.
He sailed the seas. he bridged the streams,
He fought for pride or plumber,
Saw Sod ia visions and In dreams,
And learned to watch and w nder.
The centuries behind him rolled,
The tribes increased to nations.
From torrid heat to arctic cold
They fixed their habitations.
And then strange thing cnme to view
That set the wise to thinking:
As man in skill and wisdom grew.
The earth kept shrinking, shrinking.
The steamships throbbipg DER the deep,
The cables creeping under,
Contracted all the seas that keep
The continents asunder.

Where iron steeds went rushing,
And nyriads, soon, of angry men

And every nation stood arrayed
For war against Its ne'ghbor.

French government, through the agency
of its Socialist member, M. Millerand,
has lust introduced into the Chamber
provides that in every factory employ
ing fifty or more men printed notice
shall state whether or not arbitration
is one Of the conditions of employment.
In case of the afiirmative-and all State
contracts will require this-the men are
to elect delegates, who will submit any
complaints or demands to the employer,
and, failing an agreement, both sides
may nominate arbitrators. If the EN-
ployer refuses to do this, the men may
resolve by secret ballot on a strike. blu,
the voGes of majority of those present
and of one third of the men employed

opened the debate on the Financial bill.
fle maintained that the passage OF the
pending bill would deal n dclibera re
blow 10 silver, being put forward by the
Republican party in the interests of the

hancement OF the value OF money and
the depreciation OF the value of things
produced by the farmers and laborinr
classes.
Mr. Turner ridiculcd the efforts of
Republican statesmen 10 claim the an,
thorship of the financial plank OF the
ST. Louis platform. and said he would
rather have the credit of smooth and
successful confidence game.

slatform of 1896 and declared the
chosen leader of the convention of, mar

line and under the same leadership"
