Good Men, as We'll as Democrats.

The prediction that the Democrats
will carry seven of the ten Representa-
tive districts in Kent county at the
November election is a very encourage
ing one, abd all good citizens will hope
that it will prove true. With like
proportion of Democratic Representa-
tives chosen in Sussex and New Castle
counties also, the question OF the Sena-
torships would be settled IN enc respect
at least--and that is that Mr.. Addicks
would not secure one of them. No
better way to defeat Mr.. Addicks'
Senatorial aspirations can be suggested
than the election of a Legislature with
Democratic majority on joint ballot.
But the men elected should be good
men, as we'll as Democrats. This is a
most important point, and should not
be overlooked.

Defeat " ,uid Not Alter the situation.

Administration organs express great
hope that Aguinaldo and his followers
may accept the proffer of amnesty now
being held OUT to them, and cease their
eight for Independence and self-govern-
ment. The bait of amnesty, and other
liberal offers, they hope, may induce
these people to abandon the brave fight
for Independence that they and their
fathers before them have maintained
for more than three centuries, and con-
sent to become subieots--not citizens
--of the United States.
But even should these people cease
their hopeless resistance against over
whelming odds, 1t would not alter the
situation, nor justify the course that
hes been followed by the government of
the United States. 1t would not affect
to the slightest extent the fact that
this government, excusing its course
merely upon the basis Of treaty with
Spain and the payment to that country
of $40, 900, 600, assumed sovereignty
over the Philippine Islands which it

single track mileage of railroads in the
United States on June 30th, 1899, was
1s9, 294. GO miles, an increase.during the
year of 2,S9S.34 miles being shown.
This increase is greater than for any
other year since 1893. The States and
Territories which show an increase in
mileage In excess Of 100 miles are Ala
bama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana,
Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania,
Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and Okla

mileage of the country is covered by
reports made to the commission, the
amount not covered being 1.759. 81
miles, or O.93 per cent Of the total
sinRle-track mileage. The aggregate
length of railway mileage, including
tracks of all kinds, was 352, 1854. 4S miles

1t is fact of unusual Importance
that the mortality from consumption
once called the great scouige of New
England-is steadily diminishing. The
latest report of the State registrar of
vital statistics for Maine demonstrates
that such a diminution has been in
progress for a number of years, the
deaths from the disease having been
1,352 in 1892, and in succeeding years,
1,299, 1,262, 1,195, l,172, Lips and
1,02l The principal reason for this
remarkable falling off is undoubtedly
the fact that during this period the
people have been steadily coming to
understand more and more clearly that
pulmonary tuberculosis is preventable
disease. Eleven years ago the State
Board Of Health issued it's circular oil
the prevention Of consumption, and
since then it has repeatedly been pub.
lished 10 large editions, which have
been distributed in every town. The
press has co-operatod in this campaign
of education, and many hundreds Of
people have been saved who, il left il
ignorance, would have died of the
disease which they have now fought off

The party organs are making merry
over what they term the insignificance
of the anti-imperialistic meeting in
New York City, the other night, at
which, they say, hut twenty-seven men
were present. They ridioule the idea
Of this small number of men daring to
suggest the nomination OF another
Presidential ticket. As fact, there
were twice that number of men in at.
tendance upon that meeting, but the
number actually present does not make
any difference. When it comes to a
matter of numbers making nominal
tion for President, 1T will be recalled
that one man-Mark Hanna pei formed
the job at Philadelphia, and one Other
man Bryan made the nomination,
and the platform also, at Kansas City.
Compared with this limited representa-.
tion, the meeting Of anti-imperialists al

the biggest sort of national conven
tion, even had there been less thar

For the kickers no sympathy is due:

is not impossible, the point may be-
