Quay received another setback in the
Senate Tuesday afternoon. Imme-
dia,ely after the disposal Of the Porto
Ricp Tariff bill, an attempt was made
to have his case taken up, but the at
tempt, after a somewhat acrimonious
discussion, was defeated by an adjourn
ment. Another attempt may be made
in tho same direction today, but there
is no assurance that it will be any more
successful. In fact, the situation seems
more and more hopeless for Quay, and
his only real hope Of getting back into
the Senate is through an election by
the Pennsylvania Legislature.

Although the stories were denied at

The Addicls Rcpublioan convention.

The State Convention of the Addicl.s
Republicans at Dover, Tuesday.
1t is easy TO see, from reading the
proceedings, Just what kind of gather
ing 1t was. 1t glorified Mr.. Addicks,
protested against being kept out of
recoenition-whIcb means Federal office
by the Mckinley administration, and
tletiantly denounced Civil Service Re-
form.
This should be enough to establish
the moral statue of the Addicks Re-
publican party and to array against it
every honest sentiment in the State of
Delaware. 1t stands for one man, and
is supported by one man, Eliminate
that one man. or eliminate the per-
suasive forces that he is enabled to
employ, and the Addicks Republican
organization would not hold together
for sixty days. And, true 10 its deepest
principles, the organization protests
| against being excluded from Federal
office. and advocates system that
would throw open all the Offices Of the
government to the greed of the spoils.
men and place hunters.
This is the party that comes before
the voters Of Delaware and asks theil
confidence and support. 1t appeals t
no honest sentiment, it uphulds nj
honorable principle. II condemns itsel
by its own record. 1t should te over
whelmingly defeated at the election.

No time should be lost in talk about
a reduction Of the onerous and oppres-
sire war taxes. Congress is in session,
and 1T ought not to take long to pass a
bill making very material reductions.
At present these taxes are piling up a
surplus in tho Treasury. and this only
makes the imposition uron the people
more pronounced. Tho people will
cheerfully contribute taxes necessary TO
the support of the government, but the
exaction OF money that is not necessary
for this purpose, and that will only
tempt the cupidity of subsidy advocates
and other grahbers will not be patiently
endured. Congress has it In its power to
provide the desired relief, and il it fails
to do so, it will only add another item
to the large score of the people against
the Mckinley administration, TO be set.

Senate Passes the Porto Rico Bill.


afternoon, passed the Porto Rico Tariff
bill by vote of 40 ayes to 81 nays.
Seven Republican Senators = Davis,
Mason, Nelson, Proctor, Simon, Yelling
ton and Hoar - arrayed themselves
against the measure, and one Demo-
cratic McEnery of Louisiana
was paired in its favor.
As passed by the Senate, the bill
provides for a tariff of IL per cent Of
the Dingley rates until March LIST, 1902,

United States and exports from Porte

In the yiew!of the Providence journal,
the old school Democrats will find it
no easier to vote for Mr.. Bryan in 1900
than they did in 1886, but they will
find it much harder to vote for Mr..
Mckinley than they did at the last
national contest. This expresses the
situation to point. II a ticket could

Gratis, or Democrats of any school,
