Speaker OF the Senate Charles II.
Salmons has been shelved by the
Democratic party The treatment he
received at the hands ofthe Democratic
delegates on Tuesday was as unkind as
1t was undeserved. He had worked
early and late for Democratic success.
Two years ago he made the Pencader
hundred district Democratic. Having
been speaker Of the Senate, he aspired
to the Office of acknowledgement. 1t
had been conceded to New Castle coun-
ty by tacit agreement among the
Democratic leaders, the understanding
being that the candidates for COVER
nor and acknowledgement should
come from the same count,
to the end that, in event of the death
resignation or removal of the formc
the party plan Of rotation should re
main unimpaired. Relying apon thi
assurance he went into the fight ant

port. Then. to settle the differences
about the candidate for representative
in Congress. you select Ave men from
your own party, and we will select one
Of them to be the nominee, and give
him our unqualified support"
To this proposition Addicks gave an
emphatic reply in the negative, which
carried with it this sentiment:
do as l say, or I'll give the state to
the Democrats"
Quite naturally the Republicans re-
fused. and the two tickets are stin in
the field
When Addicks says through his or
gans that the Republicans are bargain
/ ing with the Democrats, he knows that
no sensible Delawarean will credit his
statement When he says that Colonel
Dupont has engaged in a conspiracy to
elect himself and a Democrat to the
United States Senate, he knows that
the warp and woof Of his story is false
in every particular. Colonel DUPONT
does not deal with Farlows, Kings and
(ihi No ntllhtl ulNa ilt tsolol DellU-
Gratis to carry elections. He stands by
Republican principles and practices. He
and his associates have maintained the
fight against Democracy and Addicks
and Addicksism when other men who
called themselves Republicans permit
ted themselves to be bribed or caioled
into supporting the party wrecker or
else contented themselves with a state
Of retirement into which Addicks had
forced them. Oh, mol The Republican
organization Of which Colonel DUPONT
is a member, can be made party to
none Of these things. 1t condemns Ad-
dicks and his practices as it pities
those who assist him in de-
feating Republicans and olecting
Democrats. 1t wants and demands one
state ticket made up of Republicans
and not OF creatures OF Ad-
dicks. 1t not only wants it, but it de-
mands IL, and intends to have it. The
Republican voters have reached that
state Of mind which will prevent Ad-
dicks and his cabal from carrying out
their purpose Of electing the Demo-
cratic ticket. They want Republican
victory. and If the gasman and his sal
aried henchmen continue to stand in
the way the voters will dispose of them
summarily and effectively.

VOTERS DEMAND ONE IlCKET

Addicks mixed medicine for the Re
puhicans; discovered too late that he
himself was the Sick Man, and refused
to take the bitter dose Of his own prep
aration. When he called his snap state
convention and nominated his red
rag ticket, he believed he was in a po-
sition to force it upon the Republican
voters. He mistook their temper. He
discovered that in their eyes Addicxs.
the national committeeman, was no
better than Addicks, the boodler and
party-wrecker, and that they would
not support him in his mad desire for
United States senatorship, or lend
their assistance to elect such political
creatures as Marshall and Layton. In
response to his fretting and fuminl
they told him they were Republicans

tee the names OF FIVE representative
men from which a selection, equally
binding on both parties, should be
made. But Addiclxs and his cabal would
listen to none Of these things. Their
latitude throughout the conference was
not that Of men who had met TO bring
about harmony and one state ticket,
but to defeat any and all Republican
efforts in that behalf
Despite this rebuff, the Republican
state Committee will continue its en-
deayors to place the Republican party
of the state in a winning position this
Fall. 1t is confident that with one
ticket in the field the Republicans can
elect every candidate for a state office.
It also recognizes that the governor
will have the appointment Of about
two hundred public officers during the
next four years. These offices ought by
right to 20 to Republicans, and not to
personal and political friends of Peter
J.. Ford, the Democratic nominee for
governor.
Republicans are a unit for harmony,
one ticket and victory. We believe
that a majority Of the Union Republic
can voters in the state favor action
looking TO such a result They, how
over, are unfortunate in having for
leaders men who seemingly would
rather see the Democratic ticket sue
cossful at the polls in November than
the Republican ticket. Il is that lead
ership which stands in the way of Re
publican success, and those Union Re
publicans in whom every vestige of the
free moral agency of man has not been
obllterated by corruption or one-man
dlctation should stand up and demand
that this child's-play on the part of Ad-
dicks and his cabal cease at once, and
that the liberal and sensible PROPOSE
tions advanced by the Republicans be-
accepted 10 the end that the Democratic
party shall not be perpetuated in po-
litical power which It has enjoyed and
abused for moro than thirty years.

BIRD LIVES ON A WARM DIET.
The Papabote That Devours the SPAN
i&h Fly In Considered On
able DeIicacy.

"You would scarcely suppose" said
ex-Mayor Frank Holland, of Dallas,
Tex, relates a Chicago exchange, that
a bird that fattened itself on an in
sect which will blister your flesh al
o as quickly as the burning head OF
a parlor match, would be much of a
table luxury, but there is such a bird,
and compared with it your woodcock
On toast is commonplace. Few persons
in the north ever heard of this bird, /
guess, much less tasted one; but every
one knows Spanish fly.
"The bird is called a papabote, and
folk who profess to be sharps on such
things say it belongs to the plover fam
lily. It is about the size of the wood
cock, with a sober, gray plumage and
a short, hard bill. The coming of the
Spanish fly upon the foliage in the To-
c~alities it ~frequents is sudden and mys-
ferrous. No one knows whence it comes
or whittier it goes. 1t disappears as
mysteriously as it comes. 1t is a most
destructive insect, coming in countless
myriads. and eats ravenously of grow
ing things. But the papabote comes
with it, stays until the fly disappears,
and consumes millions of the pest. The
birds grow so fat on this corrosive in
sect that they become literally balls
covered with feathers. When they fall
before the gun of the hunter they burst
open like overripe fruit.
1.-THE hunter who goes out with dog
and gun expecting to fill his bag with
papabotes after the manner of the
scientific hunter Will return without
any. The p%apabote is the shyest of
birds, and can be approached within
gunshot in only one way, for, unlike all
known game birds, it will not crouch to
the dog. 1t is heavy of wing, keen of
sight and hearing, and rises long be-
for the hunter is in range, resembling
in this respect your common meadow
lark. 1t can be shot in no really sports
manlike way, and only by using a horse
and wagon. The bird will permit a
horse to walk quite close to it, and the
hunters take advantage of this and in
open buggies and spring wagons ride
about among the feeding grounds, and
drop the birds as they rise on every side
in easy range.
1.-The papabote is considered 50
muAh of a delicacy in Texas and Loui.
boys max it highly profitable shoot
ing the birds for market during it's sea-
son. There is not a case on record, so
it is asserted, of a person once eating OF
the Spanish-f1y fattened papabote who
did not have al unconquerable desire
for more.

YELLOW MEN I'm SIBERIA.
Chinese Are Said to BE OvernovvtnR
IRtO Asfatic Russia RPom
All DIN

Recent Investigations have shown
that while the white emigration to ST.
IBERIA has been considerable, 1t has
been neither permanent % beneficial
In 1899, according to a recent con.
sular report, it amounted to 223,9 1881
souls, but in the first six months OF
the same year yer $4,000 returned
penniless to Russia, having failed to
find a livelihood. Those who remained
are described as p~auperized by their
privileges and doing little or nothing
to develop the country. On the other
hand, the Chinese are everywhere
overrunning the land. As the white
man either objects to work altogeth-
er or requires excessive wages, Chi
nese labor has become a necessity. On
all the public works it is employed,
being paid less than half the price
of white labor, says the Fortnightly
Review.
In the wake of the workman comes
the Chinese peddler, and even the Chi
nese merchant. The movement is fed
by an immigration and colonization
scheme founded by the Chinese gov
eminent in Manchuria and Mongolia,
which has proved far more successful
than the similar Russian organization
in Siberia. At one time it was
thought that, owing TO the facility
with which the Russians consorted
with Asiatics. the result of this immi-
grafton would be the Slavizing of the
Chinese. 1t now seems more probable
that the Chinese will absorb the Slavs.
A very distinguished Russian traveller
said last year hat on the frontier the
Russian co1onists had already forgot
ten their own tongue, while in Irkutsk
a pigeon Russian is freely spoken. 'In
short" he added, while we Rus
slams have been meditating the polit-
zeal conquest of China, the Chinese
have begun the economic conquest of
Siberia" The worst of it is that Rus
STA has no remedy at hand, for she
cannot exclude Chinese immigration
without compromising the economic
progress of Siberia and abandoning
her friendly policy at Peking.

Have insects Faworfte CoIorsr

1t has been asserted hat insects are
particularly attracted by the colors
of certain flowers. Felix Plateau,
after investigating the conduct of in
sects in their visits to various flow
ers. concludes that while they may
perceive colors and thus be enabled
to distinguish, at a distance, be-
tween flowers and leaves, yet they
show no preference among the diff
ferent colors. Blue, red, yellow, white
are Indifferent to them. He thinks
that the odor of flowers affects in
Sects more than their colors do
