Coatless men are not popular in
Dover hotels, and a stand was taken
Monday, similar to that made in the
hotels and restaurants of larger cities.
Several delegates to the Union Repub-
licen convention, entered the dining
room of the Capitol Hotel without
their coats. They were not full-fedged
shirt-waist men, as they wore suspend
ers over their shoulders, but were coat
less men. The walters refused to
serve dinner until the delegates DON
ned their coats.

want to go into common primaries for
all Republicans in every county of the
State. However, we don't propose to
accept harmony in pieces; we want it
in one piece. We want the rule to
apply all over the State, and insist
upon it. Our State differences must
be adjusted before we go into county

main issue. But we intend to have one

Many improvements will be added
to Rehoboth before another season
shall down. The new Board of Com
missioners are pledged to improve
ments, and the present successful sea-
season and future prospects warrants
many changes that will add to the at

boardwalk and electric lights are two
things most in demand. There have
more people at Rehoboth this season
than ever before since its foundation.

Train robbers held up a passenger
train on the Union Pacific Railroad in
Colorado, Saturday night, at a point
within hundred miles of Denver, and
killed a passenger who resisted the de-
mand for his money and valuables. 1t
would seem that there is still serious
detect in our system of railroading
when such a crime can be committed
in these days of speedy travel and
rapid communication between all sec
tions of the country.

Sensation Over Changing Dates.

A sensation was created in the State
on Friday, caused by the Union Re-
publicans changing the date of their
State Convention from August 23rd to
August 9th, the primaries being held
last Saturday. The Regulars" ex-
pected to be in the field with their
ticket first. The Union Republicans
did not like the idea of the Regulars
having their convention first and hav-
ing the first use of the books, and de-
cided at a special meeting of the State
committee to change to the early date
of Aug. 9th. The difficult problem
will be to fix up ticket that will suit
both factions.
The New Castle county primary cleo
tion law could not be complied with at
the primary election, held Saturday,
but such an election can be legally
held in Kent and Sussex counties, and
this being the case, a majority of the
delegates to the convention can be le-
gally elected and Its action will, it is
believed, be legal. 1t is thought prob
able that another one will be held on
August 23rd, the date originally selec-
ted, and the ticket. formally indorsed
at that time.
The DUPONT men were much con-
cerned at the developments, as the
convention Monday, gave the Addicks
men the coveted opportunity Of setting
up the first Republican ticket, includ-
ing the Presidential electors, whom
the Regulars would have to accept or
divide the Mckinley vote.
Chairman Alice denied the statement
OF the DUPONT men that the Unions
had refused to go into common prim-
aries with the Addicks man in New Gas

Spain seems to be in the throes of
another Carlist revolution. The Carlist
idea seems to hang on for a very long
time. One can go back to the litera-
ture of ones grandfather to get infor-
nation on Carlist uprisings. AS fact
it is not the theories of Don Carlos,
handed down to his heirs, which arouses
any fighting blood among the Span
iards but it is the intolerable mis-
management of public affairs and the
utter Generalization of the treasury
which drives the people to fly to any
thing except the present government.
The movement is occurring in the vi
entity of Barcelona, which is really the
most prosperous port of Spain. The
people of that section object to being
over taxed, hence the Carlst move

ABOUT HAWAII.

Now that the full returns are in from
Hawaii, the Independents have made
cleaner sweep on that Island than was
at first contemplated. ]. d. Paris for
the Senate and Julian Monsarratt for
the House are the only Republicans
elected upon the big island.
Commenting upon the result of the
election a close observer on the big ISL
and says Sam Parker ran well ahead
of his ticket. In his own precinct, Wal
1nea he pollel "a votes out of a possible
az. He lost most heavily in Hilo, Lau-
pahoehoe, Kohala and hailua. The In
dependents pollel a heavy general vote
indicating a united support of their can
didates. The Republicans polled well
in places but were weak in the general
return. The Democrats were never in
the running at ALL The majority of the
men elected cannot read, write or speak
the English language"
This is a serious matter. The organic
act say that "all Legislature proceed
ings shall be conducted in the English
language" If the members of the
House and Senate, as a majority can
neither read write nor speak the Eng
lish language, how are they going to
comply with the law? 1t is a knotty
problem which will take some unravell-
ing. To speak in Hawaiian in the House
sOr Senate would be just as much out
of order in the Legislative assembly of
the Territory of Hawaii, as it would be
out of order to address the Legislative
assembly in Washington in French or
German.
There will undoubtedly be consider
able friction in the legislature at first,
but as the radical members begin to
understand their own limitations, they
will settle down and work fairly harmo-
niously.

Japan needs all the prosperity she
can get at time when her means are
strained to the utmost by her efforts in
China, and by the large fleet which she
is getting together. Under such cir
cumstances it is satisfactory to see
that the Department of Agriculture and
Commerce predicts a splendid rice
crop for this year. The present crop
is estimated at nearly 222,OOO,O 900 bush
els, which is 14.3 per cent above the
average. The difference in money value
between this years and last years
crops will be 100000 yen or $25, 900, 900.

The returns from the Maui District
shows that in the strong native dis
tricts the Republican ticket Jared quite
as well and in some cases rather bet
ter than it did in some of the districts
where there is a considerable white
population. At Keanae, a native strong
hold, Parker got "a votes while Wilcox
got only II and Prince David II. In
Hama Parker ran almost neck and neck
with Wilcox. In Kipahulu the showing
is not quite so good. The more the
figures of this election are studied the
clearer it is that the Republicans made
a campaign and a showing of which
they may be proud, and which is an
earnest of future complete and per-
manent victory.

restrictions which may be put on by

EDUCATIONAL.

The educational statistics for the fis-
cal year ending July l, 1900 have just
been made public. From the figures
given it appears that the pupils in all
school - elementary, secondary and
higher-whether public or private, num-
bered 16, 73S, 1862. This represents only
very small increase, something over
$4,000 as compared with the number for
the preceding fiscal year. The number
of children enrolled in the common
schools-elementary and secondary
numbered 15,13S,7 1t is estimated by
the Commissioner of Education that
2O.O5 per cent of the entire population
was enrolled in the public elementary
schools and high schools. 1t appears
from the report that there were So ASS
pupils in attendance in all the depart
ments of the colleges of agriculture and
the mechanic arts under the act of Con-
gress approved August 80 1890 in aid
OF such institutions. Their total in
come, distributed among the various
states amounting to Sc, 1873, 016. of which
N''69'I6 was derived from acts of Con-
gress, $2,57O,427 was appropriated by
the several states and territories. and
the remainder was derived from fees
invested funds and other miscellaneous
sources.
considerable space is given to the
subject of education in the OUTLYING
possessions of the United States. In
the schools of Manila, in the Phillip
pines, the total attendance on Septen-
Der 30, 1899 was 5,7O6, as compared with
a school population of about 25. 600 In
Porto Rico, during the first term of 1899
1900, there was a total enrolment of
24,S92 of which 15,44O were bows and
S'952 girls. The average daily atten-
dance was 20, 1913 in a total population
for the island Of 957,779 persons.
Hawaii shows up well with its total
enrolment Of over $1,000 pupils in a
population of $4,000. Alaska has a
school attendance of 1,728 pupils distri-
buted among 25 schools.
The Island of Cuba has certainly ex-
perienced an educational revival.
Everyone will remember the visit of
the Cuban teachers to the United
states which was organized by some
members of Harvard University.
Though the full effect of that visit will
take some time to tell, there is much
that is even now encouraging. In 1899,
according to the report, there were in
operation in the island only 200 schools,
with an attendance of 1900 pupils. In
March OF the present year, however,
there were 5000 schools with $500
teachers and an enrolment of 1870 900
pupils. At the same time, there were in
existence. 1Sl boards of education.
This is a perfectly parvelous adj
vance. 1t shows how ignorant the mass
OF the population must have been dur
