ENGLAND's ATTITUDE.
Doubt as to British Action on Hay
Pauncefote Treaty.

New York, Dec. ia special to the
Herald from Washington, says:
1t is reported that Arthur j. Balfour,
government leader in the house of COM
mons. gave a pledge to a United States
senator last summer that Great Britain
would accept the -Pauncefote treaty
with the Davis amendment and it has
been a powerful aid to those who ad
vocate amending the treaty. The report
is IN direct contradiction of information
given out at the England foreign Of
fee.
Friends of the treaty who want it rat
flied in its original form state positive
ly that they know Great Britain will
very likely return the treaty to the Uni
ted States unaccepted if it Is amended.
Secretary Hays earnestness in press
ing for the ratification in it's original
form is regarded as evidence that he
does not think Great Britain will accept
the amended treaty.

people have no goitres, as if to be with
out goitre was a physical deficiency.
Similarly, the prevalence OF irregular
periods among young women, and the
commonness of debi1itating drains
among married women have created
the 1nischievous idea that these are the
natural conditions of womanhood.
In normal health the periods should
be regular and painless and there should
be neither drains nor pains for the mar

inject Of Crystal Chains.

A triumphal dinner gown which en-
phatically "took the shine Off the toilets
worn by other women at recent func-
ton" had the corsage draped with crys-
tai chains. The gown was made of
pale violet taffeta, over which was
worn transparent robe Of violet crepe
lisse, embroidered with small crystal
beads. The tunic was slashed at the
sides, and this permitted a border of
embroidery, all in crystal beads, to run
up and down the panel Of crepe lisse.
Beneath crystal chains Of beads, swung
across in half circles, you see the panel
of violet taffeta laid In narrow plaits.
The corsage is decollete, deeply point
ed in back and front and yet has been
fitted SO cleverly to the shoulders that
it appears to come up brighter than II
really does. Crepe lisse wells the taffe-
ia, and around the shoulders is a

short loops over plisse Of the taffeta,
A narrow corselet belt Of violet panne

crystal beads is disposed In the center
of the chain OF violet panne, arranged
Just below the left shoulder.

caution. DO not rise suddenly OF make
unexpected motions for fear of your

OPINIONS
DELAWARE REPUBLICANS DUTY

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Delaware must elect two Senators at
the present session or it will have no
representation III the upper House Of
Congress until 1903. If the two factions
of Republicans will work together. two
Republicans can be seIt TO Washing
ton. If one of the factions does, as it is
suggested it will do, coalesce with the
Democrats, these two seats will be lost to
the Republicans absolutely. If the two
factions OF the Republican party in the
State nominated separate candidates for
Senators. and the Democrats also nomi-
nate u ticket of theil own, the chances
are that the Legislature will be dead
locked and no election made.
| Under these circumstances it is the
imperative duty of the Republicans of
Delaware to get together and stay to-
gether until two sound Republicans are
elected to the United States Senate.
We have preached this doctrine before
and we preach it again IN the hope that
the fractional dispute in that State will
be healed in time. If the split in the
Republican party in Delaware causes the
administration to lose two seats, it would
be shame and disgrace to every mem
Der of the party in that State. More
over, it would encourage facti0nal fights
elsewhere. The law of politics is that
the majority must rule in the party ant
between parties, and those who violat,
that law are despicable, Let the fac
tions get together and do their duty.

DEMOCRATIC CHATECHIsM.

As explanatory of the Delaware stu
alton the following dialogue between Mr.
Chairman Salisbury, of the Democratic
State Committee, and an inquiring Dem
ocrat, may be accepted as official:--
Q. "Mr. Salisbury, who defeated the
Democratic party in 1S94?"
A. ''Addicks"
Q. IT am told that we were nearly de-
feated again in 1896, is that true?"
A. Eyes, Addicks beat u.s."
Q. 'Well, Mr.. Salisbury, how is it
that we got the Governor and the United
States Senator in that year?"
A. "Addicks beat us, but we stole the
legislature and Kenney stole the Senator
ship, that [ wanted, and ought to have
had"
Q. THAT is all right Mr.. Salisbury,
but why couldn't we steal the State
againY
A. 1--WE would, only Addicks blocked
the game by taking the 96 affair into
court and got judgement against u.s."
@. "Well, but what beat us in 1882
A. "Addicks, of course"
Q. "Dindn't we make the new consti-
tuition, and the new registry law to keep
Republicans from voting, who beat
that?"
A. "Addicks beat it."
/ Q. "And 1900, who beat us then?"

MAY DEFEAT THE PARTY.

Can the Republican party be strength.
ened by eliminating Addicks? He ap-
pears to have been very important fac
tor in Kent and Sussex counties and
without his influence it is very probable
the Democrats would have elected q
majority of the members of the Legisla-
ture. In that event the Democrats
would have elected both U. S. Senators
without saying to the Republicans, by
your leavs!
AS the Unionists contributed to make
up the Republican majority in the Legis
lature, would it not be wise to allow
them to select one Senator and the Regu-
lar Republicans to select the other? II
seems that such course would unite
the party and lead to future success al
the polls, while to refuse to adopt this
plan may prevent the ele,tion of Sena-
tors and lead to defeat. If the Regulars
as they are called, should unite with the
Democrats to elect Senators, they may
have to unite with the Democrats il they
nominate ticket at the city election OF
allow it to be defeated. This union with
Democrats will prove two edged SWORD
it will cut both ways. Our Republican
friends should beware lest they may fine
shat bargain with the Democrats may
be their own political death as we'll al
t he defeat of the party.

ABUSING CANDIDATES.
From Daily Republican

from daily RepuDllcan.
The continued abuse of any candidate
for Office rarely leads to his defeat. Mis-
representation generally creates sym
pathy and leads majority of the voters
to unite so justice may be done. Person
who malign and misrepresent an oppon-
ent rarely obtain permanent advantage
by their conduct. 1t is not the part OF
wisdom to try to make an opponent
odious, particularly when his object has
been meritorious
The public can generally distinguish
between the interested libeler and the
party who desires to promote the public
welfare. 1t is wise in every one to stick
to the truth and let others Judge of the
merits and dement's of their rivals. 1,
is and old and true saying that "trutl
crushed to earth shall rise again, the
eternal years of time are hers, while
error writhes in pain and dice amid its
worshippers." Let all stand by the
truth and see all justice shall be done,
while to the miserable libellers is meted
