Dover, Del, Nov. S.-The election
IL very close, as INDICATED by the re-
turns up to noon. The Republicans
are claiming the legislature on joint
ballot and say they will elect two
United States senator's. The Democrats
say they are apprehensive that Senator
Farlow, the Democrat who finally gave
his support to Addicks, Rep, in the
last legislative deadlock over the
United States senatorship, will hold
the balance Of power in the incoming
legislature. a'-~>
Later returns definitely determined
the political complexion of the next
Delaware legislature. It is Republican
in each branch and will probably elect
two United States senators Of that
party.

The Sioux Falls platfnrrn

Tho platform adopted by the nation

Sioux Falls is ridiculed and denounced
BIZ the republican press from one end
Of the continent TO the other.
It is more than Iikly that this oppo-

vigorous because the populists named
Mr.. Bryan as their presidential candi-
date.
The work OF the convention should
be judged moro fairly from a higher
point Of view. Some of the planks in
the platform are better and sounder
than might have been expected. Many
thoughtful voters OF the two great par
ties win object to the proposed govern
ment ownership OF railways; tho appa-
rently unlimited ISSUE OF greonbacks,

its analysis OF the money trust and

by the people and the exemption of

Perhaps the platform goes too much
into details, but in the main it is a
good democratic document, and the

graduated for getting in touch with
the grand old party of Jefferso..

The Boer "a nm Immigrant.

The suggestion has been made that
since the Beers are doomed TO lneVlta-
BILE defeat, and since they will not be
willing to become the subjects of Great
Britain, why should they not be IN
vited to make their homes in Georgia?
This is a pertinent and practical
question. which should find answer.
The Beers are of sturdy Dutch stock,

burgers. formed one of the sturdiest
and strongest streams of original Geor-
gia colonization. They went to Africa
and made themselves homes, cut off
from Europe by great ocean distance.

cupidity. they have trekked three times
to find land in which they might
work out their destiny and worship
God as pleased them. Now they have
been surrounded by forces which doom
them either to emigration once more
or to subjugation to a race which has
proved their enemy from the first.
Thousands OF them have declared that
rather than accept this alternative
they will once more pack up their
household goods and seek new homes
under happier auspices.
What should the railroad and indus

crisis? Here we have a people blessed
with every qualification of high-mind-

Secretary Chamberlain is profoundly
convinced Of the fact that the prosper

in largo measure upon the success OF
the movment in the direction or fed

OF which he is capable to secure the
passage of the bill which Is now pend
ing.
OF course, under the plan of fedora

Australian colonies will be as distinct

additional advantage of being bound

Australian Federation.

Much interest is felt on this side of
the water in the Australian common
wealth bill which is now pending in
the British parliament.
This important measure contemplates
tho federation Of the Austria Ian COLO
MES into one consolidated republic
modelled generally upon tho plan OF
the government Of the United States.
Secretary Chamberlain is the author
of the Australian common wealth bill
which he has carefully prepared after
having studied the situation thorough
ly in its various bearings and refa-
tions. and he hopes to secure the ulti-
mate passage of the measure.
Australian federation is not the Off
spring of recent discomfort nor is it
the dream Of Missionaries and senti-
mentalists. More than fifty years have
elapsed since the initial steps were
taken in this direction by w.deawake
and progressive leaders who plainly
foresaw that federation was not only
important, but necessary TO bring
about the largest measure OF prosperity
on the part Of the Australian colonies.
However, in spite of the most diligent
effort put forth by the advocates of
federation, nothing was accomplished
and the movement eventually fell
through. But again In 1885 the move
ment was revived. and since that time
there has been no relaxation OF enter
prise or purpose on the part of the ad-
yocates of federation.
Viewing the matter calmly from
this side OF the water it seems that
the movement ought to succeed. Be
tween tho Australian colonies there is
little at variance and much in COM
mon. They are each loyal to English
rule and English authority. They are
each occupied by people who have
sprung chiefly from the same parental
stock. They arc thoroughly homo
geneous in every sense of the word.
Nature has brought them into close
quarters and apparently made it her
decree that they should be united. SO
far as the logic of the situation is
concerned, it is overwhelmingly on
the side OF federation. Possessing so
little at variance and so much In COM
mon. there is apparently no reason
why they should remain independent
of each other. with different tariffs.

Blind leadership Offered.

The Philadelphia Press seems to
have a sad-eyed editorial writer
whose purpose is to overlook the
state in which he lives in order to
discover notes in the distant south.
In discussing present conditions in
Mississippi, the pen OF this MEAN
choly gentleman becomes evident
when he says:
But the only thing to be surprised at
in this condition of things is the cril-
cism by leading democrats and demo
cratic newspapers in Mississippi; Inc
situation is the natural result of the sup
preston OF the colored vote ana the
practical oblteration of the minority par
ty. The disposition 10 vote has Deen
growing less and less in mississippi since
the present constitution was adopted and
the approach to government by an oil
garchy has been closer every year. This
hXng the drift, the democratic state com
mittce sees no reason why II should not
be the ollgraChy, and it has taken the
first step in that direction. But the Mis-
sisSippi democrats have no right to COM
plain. They are reaping what they have
sOwn, and if they are to pass under the
oligarchical government of n democratic
state committee, perTetuatlng itself at
pleasure, they have no one but them
selves to blame.
Democratic methods like chickens come
home to roost.
All one has to do in reading this ed
itOrial expression is to turn to the To-
cal columns of The Press, where a
condition OF rottenness will be reveal
ed which has existence nowhere else.
The Press has openly acknowledged
that republican methods in Pennsyl-
vania are fraudulent; that in single
cities of that state there are blocks
of $4,000 fraudulent voters whose
10. 20 f,Yr
nisheS the majorities by which repub-
leans climb into offices which should
be filled by democrats.
While The Press Is so much con-
cerned about the small vote cast in
any southern state, it fails to give
proper prominence to the real reason
why the vote In Pennsylvania is large.
Ii Mississippi for instance. would re-
sort to blocks of $4,000 bogus voters
in each of its counties, il could pre-
sent what The Press would acknowl-
edge to be good record: but the
people OF Mississippi have not reach

republican boss. The Press Is very
pronounced in denouncing the source
from which he gets his majorities;
but when, in November next, these
same bogus voters will make up an
apparent majority for the republican
presidential electors, The Press will
be as mum as it is possible to be-
We appreciate fully the zeal and
sincerity Of The Press in fighting il
legal methods, but We regret that it
should make its war upon minnOws
at home, instead of looking after the
leviathans. Let The Press set itself to
work to prune the fraudulent vote out
of the republican returns next No
vember. and then We can join with it
with much moro heart: but as long as
it fights the bogus voter when his ben
efciary is Doodle alderman. and sus-
tains him when his beneficiary is the

cannot have much faith In the war it
is waging.

Woman's Rights In China.

It is an old saying that it is always
the unexpected which happens. 1t
might with equal truth be said that it
Is often the unexpected We hear.
The other day the Women's Medical
college. of Pennsylvania, celebrated its
commencement, being the fiftieth an
niversary. by inviting WI Ting Fang.
the Chinese minister, to deliver the
literary address.
In the course of his remarks the
eminent Chinaman took occasion to
crlticise American men for theis cp-
position to women in the medical pro-
fession.
II am not little surprised to learn
that for all the boosted Anglo-Saxon
fairness and chivalry. medical women
have had q hard time In fighting their
way against strong opposition at ev-
cry step for public recognition and
professional standing" said he. 'T am
sure they would receive better treat
ment in China. There the medical
profession does not form close cor
poration. ANY one who has sufficient
skill and knowledge in the art of
healing is freely allowed to practice,
irrespective of nationality. sex or
creed so long as he or she can get
patients"
In finishing he advised the gradu-
ates to go to China. where he said
there is room for them, owing to the
small number OF women doctors.
WI Ting Fang not only surprised
his hearers by these remarks, but he
opened new view of inside life in
China. showing that no nation has
monopoly on good ideas. It was a
little strange. as ne indicated. that in
the foremost civilized nation of the
west women should have to FIGHT
their way through such adverse in
fluences in order to practice a profess
sion which eminently belongs to their
sex. which is free to them in the
great nation Of the orient. There is
something exclusive in medical circles
which holds back enterprise. and yet
this indisposition to rush into the fu-
ture has its good points. This Is true
as regards what might be styled pro-
fessiona1 ethics. But when 1t comes
to setting up a sex wall against par
ticipation in medical science. 1t seems
TO be a survival OF a queer form of
intolerance. which regards women as
but creatures OF burden.
II Wu Ting Fang remains much
longer in this, country. We viii be
forced to revise many of our old opln-
ions concerning the land which he
represents
