MORE EABRIcATInNS

1t is astonishing what credit certain
Philadelphia newspapers attach to the
utterances Of men like Representative
John II. Hoflecker and Senator J..
Frank Alice, chairman Of the Addicks
State Committee. There will be no
compromise with Addicls and Addicks-
ism by Republicans of Delaware, and
there will be no meeting held under
the auspices Of President Mckinley. He
is assured Of a solid Republican dele
cation from Delaware to the National
Convention, and he also is assured Of
three electors from this state as a re-
suit Of the November election. That is
all the state could give him, under any
circumstance. II is beyond the power
OF Addicks and his leaders to prevent
such a result.
Our national delegates will be seated
with a full vote, or not at all. There
will be no half-vote about Il. Our men
alone will be admitted and recognized
in Philadelphia or we will come home.
These are the words of Mr.. Addicks.
He is a political prophet for once. His
delegates will not be seated; there
will be no balf-vote about it," and he
and his men will come home"
Relative to a compromise agreement
on the state ticket, the Republicans
have been tricked on several occasions
by the Addicksites-most notably two
years ago in Sussex county and in
Dover-and they never will be tricked
again.
Let it be understood, once and for
all, that Delaware Republicans never
will permit j. Edward Addicks to go
to the United States Senate, and that
all stories Of compromise with such a
result in contemplation are mere fab
relations.

$500. 600. IF PROTECTED legally

]. Edward Addicks never does any
thing without a selfish motive. If he
thinks that his reputed tender of a
loan Of $4,000 to the Board Of Educa-
tlon will make him votes in New Castle
county he is mistaken. The city of
Wilmington will not permit its new
High School to be made an Addicks
campaign document. There are men
of public spirit here who will see that
the High School is completed for the
sake of its benefits to the educational
interests of the city-men who are not
hunting for senatorships, and who are
not bidding for votes and political
recognition. This $4,000 offer made
by Mr.. Addicks may be about as sub
stantial as was the contribution which
he made to a certain Sussex county
town after 1t had been devastated by
fire.
We are in position to state that If the
Board OF Public Education can satisfy
tho moneyed men of Wilmington that
the money advanced will be protected
legally, there is 100000 at its disposal
from men who have no Interest in
using their investments for political
purposes, but who will advance the
funds wholly for the sake Of conserv.
ing the city's educational system.

birds would peck at
Realizing the shortcomings of the or
binary cedar decoy duck, a Delaware
sportsman, DR.. George e. Messick, has
captured a number OF wild ducks and
trained them to serve as decoys Obe-
dent to the instructions of their mas
ter, says the Morning News, Of VIII
mington, they float gracefully on
waters frequented by their kind as if
seeking for food, and the most wary
scout Of a feathered flock in cloudland
would not suspect that they we're in the
employ Of the enemy, and were not
just what they seemed to be. With
their help the originator Of this plan
hoped to bag many ducks before the
ncrthward flight ends.
But the hopes of this Delaware
sportsman seemed doomed to disap-
pCintment. He has been preceded in
his experiment by a duck hunter in the
far Northwest. According to the Morn
ing Oregonian, a sportsman Of Port
land procured some Chesapeake duck
eggs and Matched a brood that closely
resembled the wild mallard. He train
ed them to act as decoys, and for a
while they served his purpose admir-
ably, but he was compelled later to re-
port to his interested fellow spOrtsmen
that his live decoys became "leaded'
and the scheme was a failure. At first
his friends were disposed to revile
him for missing the wild ducks and
lodging charges of shot in the bodies
of his trained decoys, but that suppo-
sition was banislied by further expla-
nation.
It seems that the Oregon waters in
which the experiment was made had
been a feeding place for wild ducks
during many years, and that the beds
of the shoals were rich in deposits OF
shot fired at ducks in previous seasons.
When not engaged in decoying, the
trained ducks fed along these shoals
and in the course of their dibbling for
food they scooped up considerable
quantities of shot from the bottom. In
time the weight of the lead thus ac-
cumulated within them overcame their
natural buoyancy, and whenever they
ventured into deep water they sank
and were drowned. Even before they
became thus finally "leaded," the shot
they had swallowed rendered them
useless as decoys by altering theiI
trim in ways that made them objects
of alarm to the wild ducks that looked
in bewilderment from overhead. Some
of them were badly down by the
head" as the sailors say, from the
weight of shot in their forward com
partments. Others drifted with 9
strong list to starboard or to port, ac-
natural ballast, and the whole floci
presented such a weird appearance e
the discerning wild ducks that they
were frightened away. Moreover, the
trained decoys that did not meet witt
watery death scccumbed to leaC
poisoning within a short time, and ths
experiment was abandoned.
Probably the shoals Of the favorit'
resorts of duck hunters on this side O
the continent would assay as large ;
percentage of lead as those of Oregon
waters. If that be the case. DR.. Mes
sick, Of Delaware, might as well re
gard the experiment with wild duck
in decoy service as having reached f,
definite conclusion.

THE NEW HEALTH BOARD

Mayor Fahey has made public an
nouncement OF his selections Of men to
succeed retiring Republicans on the
Board of Health. Personally the men
are unobjectionable, but some Of them
are known to be bitter and uncompro-
missing partisans. However, we hope
that they. will administer the affairs Of
the department with the same zeal and
painstaling care that have character
lied the Republican majority members
who are retired by expiration Of their
terms.
The Board OF Health is an important
municipal body. and to serve upon Il
is an honor. It is the guardian of the
public health, and should be consti-
tuted 50 as to merit the confidence OF
the people. While it follows that the
Republican secretary and executive Of
hcers will retire with the Republi
can members the public has right tC
expect that in the matter of selectinl
their successors, due care will be exer
cised by the newly-constituted board

AnNEsI Man AGAINST HIM

The Milford News and Advertiser Is
one of the best OF the down-state news
papers. In both Kent and Sussex coun-
ties il wields an influence for the good
of the Republican party and the people.
Here is its commentary on Addieks and
Addicksism;
The fat has gone forth; there is TO be
a battle OF determination in Delaware.
J. Edward Addicks proclaims his own
ership OF a political party, and declares
his purpose to succeed in his impudent
demand to be made q senator, and the
Republican boss Of Delaware.
He may have on his side a fortune
he Is willing to spend in the contest;
he may have a long lease of life in
which to wage the conflict; a certain
element win cling to him while he dis
tributes the ducats, and there are al
ways votes to be bought. But arrayed
against him is a party composed of the
strong, honest men OF the state; they
are not out for political spoils, but
moved by an honest conviction and a
sense OF duty; they have no money for
the purchase OF men; they make no ef-
fort to propitiate heelers. They simply
say to all Republicans OF Delaware
study the question and act as good citi-
zens.
This is plain English which even am
bitlon-racked Mr. Addicks can under
stand.

Aside from the shock of horror which
always attends the news of such ca
tastrophe. the accident which caused
the death Of Mrs. General Wilson, in
Havana, has an international import
ance General Wilson is the military
governor OF two provinces in Cuba.
and his position makes him and his
family persons of distinction both in
Cuba and at home. His wife's sudden
and painful death, therefore, draws
sympathy beth on the island and at
home, and the one bright ray which re-
lieves the sorrow that must be felt in
both countries Is that the mutual touch
Of sympathy must draw them more
closely together. The accident, though
unusual, was perfectly natural one.
Matches are frequently dropped where
they may be trodden on. In this case a
blaze followed. which quickly caught
the thin Summer dress, adapted to the
climate OF Cuba, and a fatal result was
inevitable. General Wilson's grief must
be sacred but the hearts Of the people
go out to him in his affiiction.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Republicans and the Senate,


From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The present Senate consists of 81 Re
publicans, 26 Democrats and 10 Popu-
lists and Silverites, and there are three
vacancies. On March 3, 1901, the terms
of 80 senators expire, of whom II are
Republicans. IL are Democrats, 1 is a
Silevrite and l a Populist. One Repub-
lican, Gear, of Iowa, has been re-elect-
ed. The Democrats claim confidently
that they Will make gains in Montana,
Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado and
Idaho, and they are hopeful as to Kan
sas, West Virginia and Oregon. The
Democrats are reasonably certain to re-
tain their eleven seats, excepting that
Of Kenney. Of Delaware, and the
chances favor the election Of a Demo-
cratic successor to Butler, Populist Of
North Carolina, Pettigrew, Silverite, of
South Dakota, is likely to be succeeded
by a Republican. OF the three vacan-
cies now existing, it is likely that
Pennsylvania would send a Republi-
can and Utah a Democrat, while the
result in Delaware is unfathomable.
Under present conditions. the chances
favor a gain of at least six seats for
the Democrats in the next Senate, on
which basis the Senate would stand
so Republicans, 80 Democrats and s
Populists and Silverites. The new SEN
ators are to be chosen by members of
the Legislature already elected or to be
elected In November next.
OF the 80 senators whose terms ex-
pire March 3, 1898, l6 are Republicans,
s Democrats, 3 POpulists and 3 Silver
ties. The Democrats are likely to
make gains in Maryland, Kentucky,
North Carolina, and possibly CalifOr-
MIA, without losing any of the eight
that are retiring. Kyle, Populist, OF
Independent, as he prefers to be known
is acting with the Republicans, and il
he be not returned from South Dakota
as a Republican, is likely to have q
Republican successor, while Turner
| POpulist, of Washington, may b,
Obliged to give way to a Republican
On this basis the Senate, on March 4
1908, would consist of As Republicans
SO Democrats and 6 Populists and Sill
verites.
This may appear reassuring to tn,
Republicans. but il is based on the pre-
sumption that Illinois, Michigan, Min
nesota, Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin
will abide in the Republican ranks, not
withstanding the unmistakable evi
dences Of dissatisfaction in that section
Of the country with respect to the ad
ministratiOn's colonial policy. Tn
\ sober truth is that the Republical
party is on trial before the people, an
that IL must meet and solve the expan
sion problem in the spirit of the mos
