books Immediately after the third regis
tration day In August.
The sheriff and Department of Elec-
tions are required to provide the neces-
sary ballot Eoxes, &c. and all of that
can be attended to on the Saturday pre-
ceding the election day, so that there
will be nothing to do on election day
but deliver the books as they are re.
ceived.
AS to the matter of common prima-
ries, it would be impossible, under the
law, to hold such an election unless it
was held under the auspices of only one
of the factions. That is, only one fac
tion could be recognized by the law at
one time, as each has separate and
distinct organization. To have CON-
mon primaries one faction would be
compelled to become secondary to the
other. The law on the subject is as fol-
lows:
''No two political PARTIES, organiza-
tions or associations shall hold their
primary elections on the sans day. The
number of days that shall be allowed
for holding primary elections to nomi-
nate persons to be voted for at gem
eral election and to nominate persons to
be voted for at municipal elections in
the city of Wilmington shall not exceed
two for each political party, organiza-
tion or association in any one year.
The provisions of the act do not apply
to any primaries held to eloct delegates
to State convention called foE the
purpose of electing delegates or repre-
sentatives to any national political con-
vention.
The delegates to the Regular Repub-
lioan convention of August 2lst are to
be elected in Kent and Sussex counties
on Saturday, August 18th, and as
there will be no difficulty in holding
regular primaries there, it Is claimed
that even il all of the primary books
cannot be procured in time for holding
the election in some of the districts in
New CASTLE county, u regularly elected
majority is assured and tho legality Of
the convention cannot be questioned on
the ground of irregularity, and that the
convention will be competent to trans
act the business for which it is called.
As the Regulars now have their plans
laid, they propose to work as if the
Union party did not exist. They OK.
EJECT to nominate full State ticket
and ignore the followers OF Addicks,
and it remains to be seen whether the
latter will be willing to accept any
nominations made by the Regulars s, who,
it is understood, will nominate only
people who are known to be opposed tc
Addicks and Addickism. Such nomi.
nees, it is hardly likely, will be aocepta
BILE to the gas man or his followers. Ar
exception may be- made as to Presi
Dental electors, but otherwise, 1T is be-
lieved, there will be two full Stat,
tickets, the Regulars being willing tt
let Addicks put to the test his asser
tion that he can defeat them and the
Democrats combined.

nook or RoY4h BIUg ron JuLr.

The July number of the Book of the
Royal Blue, which is published regu-
larry every month by the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad, is especially interesting.
1t has been the custom to devote the
July number every year to stories of
the Civil War, and the pt esent number
contains graphic description of the
battle OF Antietam, illustrated by pho
tographs taken shortly after the battle,
rs well as photos of more recent date.
Particularly markable il the pho
tograph, used as frontispieoe. of
President Lincoln interviewing Gen.
Mcclellan at Antietam, 10 October,
1862, and the Burnside Bridge, show
ing an army train crossing over il.
These photographs were loaned and
published by permission of the War
Department. An accurate description
is given Of the position OF the Union
forces in the battle, in accordance
with reports CT Gen. Mcclellan, while
the graIic description of the closing
scene at Burnside Bridge is quoted
from war correspondent who was
present at the time. An official map
published by the government enables
the reader to follow the battle closely.
The movement Of troops to and from
the battle of Antietam greatly affected
the lines of the Baltimore & Ohio rail
road, which were then constantly in a
state of Decentralization from the con-
tinued fighting in its territory.
The number also contains an interest
ing war romance Of Virginia, entitled
"A Womaply Woman !" poem by DR..
Thomas Calver of Washington, on
1.-THE March Of the Gallant Sixth
Corps" and another poem by the same
author, entitled "Too Soon They Die. "

robbed during the night, and that
several attempts had been made TO
break into the store.

with other amateur teams, with q
record of eight won, two lost and two
tied. Manager Shearerf has decided to
play his team against semi-professionals
and has secured the Crescent, Hamilton
A. A. and Moore's.
The game of Saturday was one that
will long be remembered as q game
full of mishaps. 1t was for time
feare1 that one man-Charles Countiss
would be carried off the fold a corpse
This was in the fifth inning, when
Duffy and Countiss both attempted to
get a high foul near point about mid
way between home plate and third base.
The collision was frightful and when
the men dropped like logs the specta-
tors for q moment seemed paralyzed.
Duffy's right shoulder was badly
bruised. When he revived he attempted
to ro-enter the game and walked to
third base, hut was compelled to retire,
greatly against his will. iCountiss
pluckily went behind the bat, much
to the delight of the spectators, and
made thiee-base hit IN this half of
the inning.
Capt. Newlove was injured at second
base by sliding into the buckle of the
bag in the third inning. Vantine was
injured Oh his hip bone by being struck
by pitched ball in the eighth inning.
Newloye took his place on the bag,
stole two bases and came home on
Fritz's single. Countiss made home
run, three Dagger, two-bagger and
single during the game while Fritz
secured three singles.
Among those interested 10 the Chinese
disturbances is Mayor Evan g. Boyd

IMPERIAL HYPOCRISY.

The theory of empire is that it, muir
der. robbery and tyranny are merely in
cidental that the real objects. the real
deals which imperali,t, ever cherish
and ever bear in mind, are the material
and moral progress of both conquerors
and conquered.
How does England at the present
moment fit the theory:
She is spending upward of 81 100000 a
day-S45. 000,0 IA mOnth-in conquer
ing the South African republics because
the Transvaal refused 10 turn its govern
ment over to her under a pretended
scheme of reform" At the same time
famine is raging among her wards in
India and tens of thousands of her
"wards" are dying of hunger. and she
can afford only an absurdly inadequate
provision for relief.
And according to carefully compiled
report of British parliamentary com.
mission, controlled by the government,
English rule in India during the past
twenty years has resulted in conditions
of land ownership which have lessened
the power of resistance to famine of the
great mass of England's wards. The
report says of this vast population:
ats sensitivenesS or liability to succumll
Ito famine, instead of diminishing. is posi-.
bly, becoming more accentuated;'' and of the
area subject to famine, "far from contracting
