SOFT COAL MINERS DEFY MITCHELL

Soft ocal miners members Of the
United Mine Works of America refuse
to obey President Mitchell's order tc
load no cars for markets formerly sup
piled by anthracite coal.
Individual coal operators in the
LackawanRa region are reported to be
deferred by more powerful competitors
from conceding almost all that the
strikers demand.
The proposition Of operators to grant
miners a 10 per cent wage increase is
claimed by President Mitchell as a vic
tory for the union.
General Goblin will to-day confer
with mine operators on the expediency

lHe IS fortunate in having for his rival
on the Democratic ticket such a man
as Dr. Edward Fowler, of Laurel
who has shown his unftness fol
the office of state insurance commits
sloner. and who was placed on the
Democratic ticket with no regard
whatever for party. policy or pubic
interest. Mr.. Hoffecker should beat him
hands down. for the Republic Savings
and Loan Association scandal is still
rife. and hundreds Of Delaware Demo-
Gratis are crying for the savings they
have tied up in this concern which Dr..
Fowler, as insurance commissioner,
permitted to operate in this state with
out license or indemnifying security Of
any kind.
Or. L. Heis.er Ball, the candidate
for the full term in Congress, is the
present state treasurer. He is a Re
publican Of Republicans, as true as
steel and as able and genial as he is
true. He will poll many Democratic
votes, as he did when he ran for state
treasurer. He Is one Of the most
prominent physicians in rural New
Castle county, and a man whose hon
esty and capacity are unquestlonad. His
vote will be a aattering testimonial
OF the peoples high regard Of the man
around whom there waged such a con-
troversy, now happily ended.

DEVELOPlNG SLOWLY

The State Department declined to
say yesterday whether or not the in
structions to Minister Conger have
gone forward yet; but it is intimated
that the minister is fully advised by
this time as to the departments policy
It is said, however, that no develop
ments in the Chinese situation OF i'm
portance are expected within the next
two weeks at least.
That the officers and men in the Ger
man army are firm in the belief that
war is imminent between Germany and
China, is reflected in the unusual num-
Der OF applications which have been
made to a life insurance company in
New York for policies scn their lives.
Hundreds OF applications have been re-
ceived through a Berlin agency.
The reason assigned for the small
number Of casualties among the Chi
nese at the taking Of Pei-Tang and Lu-

Reverses only serve to stimulate the
Anglo-Saxon to greater efforts. He
profits by the lessons of bitter expert
ence. He has the faculty Of retiring to
recuperate, but invariably goes back
with greater strength than ever be-
fore. So 1t is in the Philippines. The
Anglo-Saxon of America has engaged
in the work Of paclfying the islands
and making them and their people hll
lheir proper place in the world OF to-
day. There will be no turning back.
The defeat OF a detachment OF troops
and the capture OF gunboat by the IN
surgents are but incidents. They do
not tend to swerve the Anglo-Saxon
from his purpose, but. on the contrary
merely nerve him to prosecute the
campaign with greater vigor and cir
cumspeotion.

One OF the best men on tho ticket
is Herbert II. Ward, OF Wilmington, the
candidate for attorney-general. He
has the confidence and respect OF all
Delawareans. On him party lines cannot
be drawn. His personal character and at
tainments as a lawyer recommend
him to al, men. Among the younger
members OF the Delaware bar no man
is his superior and few Of any age are
his equals. He will be a strong can
didate, and, II elected, will be remem-
bered for many years as one OF the
best lega. advisers and prosecutors the
state ever has had We have no words
Of disparagement for Mr.. Cooper, his
opponent on the Democratic ticket, nor
do we propose to make a comparison
TO Mr.. Cooper's disadvantage; but II
must be remembered that four years
ago Mr.. Cooper bolted the national
ticket and allied himself with those
who accomplished the defeat OF Will
liam jennings Bryan. The Free Silver
Democrats have not forgotten the act
and. while they could not prevent his
nomination, they are determined that
a man who participated in the Demo
cratic revolt which elected Mckinley
and Hobart shall not obtain one of the
most responsible and lucrative offices
In the state as reward for his act
This fee.ing, which exists strongly in
all three counties, will operate in favo

ware. He has had no reward for his
long and Intelligent party service, and
now both the Regular Republicans and
the Union Republicans, who have an
abiding faith in his integrity and capa-
bility are heartily in favor Of making
him the custodian Of the states funds
His opponent is a weak man, and Mr.
Burris should experience no difficulty
in defeating him.
One Of the most important offices in
the state is that Of auditor Of accounts.
or, as it is known more commonly,
state auditor. The Republicans and
Union Republicans have united on
Purnal b. Norman, one of the Iealine
Republicans in Sussex county and pc
culiarly fitted for the responsible duty
of safeguarding the receipts and dis
bursements of the various state Off
cials and rural school boards The
Democrats have nominated Walter
Donoho. Also a Sussex county man.
but whose identity is so obscure that
nine-tenths OF the Democrats them
selves don't know who he is, what he
is, or what qualifications he has for
such an office. Mr.. Norman ought to
win an easy victory from the unknown
parsonage whom the enemies Of Re
publicanism have put mp against him,
for he has strong personal, business
and political friends in al three coun-
ties.
While the Republicans deemed the
selection Of DR.. George w. Marshall.
OF Milford, as the nominee for cover
nor unwise and impo,itic, they placed
him on their ticket for state insurance
commissioner, and viii give him the
same hearty and undivided support
that they Intend to give the other can
didates. The Office has been admins
tered so miserably by Democrats. and
especially by the present incumbent
that the people want q change. DR..
Marshal. is qualified to remedy all de-
fects and to keep both insurance COM
panies and loan associations within the
bounds OF the law.
That is the ticket. It has been agreed
10 in good faith, and every opponent
Of Democracy will support It at the
polls.

John Hum, Of Kent county, stands
as the Republican candidate for gov
erner. He is a man among men. He
Is substantial and honest and possesses
those elements which give assurance
that II he is elected he will be COVER
nor in fact as well as in name. All
men respect him; those who know him
well love him. His character is beyond
reproach. and from one end OF the
state TO the other he Is known as a
man who has made a success OF life by
his good, hard common sense, quick
intellect and sturdiness OF character.
It is only by prevarication that a
Democratic critic can say anything to
his discredlt. He is a man entitled to
tho hearty support OF all opponents OF
Democracy. Even the many Democrats
who are dissatlied with their own
parry for Its action in turning down
DR.. John ]. Black and J. Wilkins Cooch
and nominating Peter J. Ford for gov
ernor, realize that they can vote for
John HUM without doing violence 30
their convictions.
The nomination OF Mr.. Ford has
created widespread resentment in the
rural districts. II is conceded by many
leading Democrats that he cannot poll
the normal strength OF his party. Mr..
Hum win obtain the full Republican
vote in all three counties. as we'll as
the votes Of hundreds Of Democrats
who do not want to see Mr.. Ford gov
ernor.
Philip L. Cannon, the candidate for
lieutenant-governor, is one of the lead
ing citizens and Republicans OF Sus-
sex county. From Brandywine to Bal
timore he is known to al men. This
gives him a decided advantage over his
Democratic opponent, who is unknown
even to thousands OF voters in
his own county. Mr.. Cannon will fin
the Office Of president OF the state
Senate with intelligence and dignity,
and. should any contingency arise re-
quiring him to assume the duties OF
governor, that Office will be administer
ed, ably, fearlessly and conscientiously.

the chapel of the Marble Collegiate Church, Fifth
ave. and Twenty -ninth-st. the committee that had
been appointed to report the advisabty of a
union of the Bioomingdale Reformed Church with
the Manhattan Congregational Church reported ad-
versely The Bloomingdae Reformed is the church
over which the Rev DR.. Madison c. Peters pre-
sided before he became Baptist. 1t is not in a

after DR.. Peters resigned that it leave the Re-
formed denomination and attach itself to the Man
