introduced a bill, which. If passed, makes
primary elections the sole manner of
making nominations of any party for

MARKET STREET BRIDGE.

The recent decision Of the United
States authorities condemning Market
street bridge over the Christiana as an
obstruction to navigation, opens an
important question for the considcra-
tion of the people Of this city.
is that the centre pier Of lie
present structure must be removed, and
this means that the present bridge must
be replaced by new one Of entirely
different construction The turn draw
must be discarded. That much is evil
dent. What engineering design should
question which We do not presume
to discuss. There are, however, neces-
sites to be looked after that are as inn
portant as that Of removing an obstruc-
tion to the navigation Of the Christiana.
These, at least some of them which we
think will be apparent to any one who
thinks about the matter, come within the
limit of newspaper discussion, and 10
these we would call attention
A matter of first Importance is that
the new bridge should be permanent
structure We mean by that that the
new bridge should be one of such dimcn-
sions and character Of its construction,
as to meet the requirements Of traffic at
this point for long period should be
big enough and strong enough TO antici-
pate the volume ana kind If traffic for
which city bridges are built in growing

bridge is already outgrown: and, al

GET READY Fofs WORK.

In national politics the Republicans
are showing conmendable spirit of
unity in preparing for the work of the
coming session of Congress. They are
doing this in anticipation uf the short
time in which they will have much
important work to do. The example
which the members of Congress thus set
should be needed by the State legislatures
and in no case more particularly than in
Delaware. The session of the State As
sembly is now limited to period of
sixty days. The coming session will be
the first one, for a long time, iii which
the Republicans will have control of both
houses, and in which they must assume
the entire responsibility for what is
done, and also for what is NOT
done. The party is on trial now as it
has never been before i'll this State.
The SERIOUSNESS Of the situation, the inn
portance Of the work to be done both
in public and party view Of the matter,
seek wisdom and strength iii the unity
of counsel and action. We suggest that
as the members of Congress have sought
conference anu counsel with the Presi-
dent Of the United States, the Republi-
cans Of Delaware should confer and
counsel with Guvernur-elect Hum. We
have no doubt but that the governor and
the Republican members Of the Assembly
will act in harmony each using its in
fluence to promote the general welfare,
but our suggestion carries with it the
idea that manifestation Of mutual
interest, and of intended unity Of action
would be beneficial, iii making senti
ment of regard for and confidence il
both the Legislative and executive
branches of the government. W.
think this would be beneficial il
very high degree. There woult
be in it manifestation of high re
ward for the public service, and We ar,
sure that the mutual interests which th
Republican members would discover il
conference and council would oyercom
any disposition for fractional bickerin
and possible defeat Of anticipated sue
cesses of this Legislative session.

THE BIG GAME.
Announced ~ Yale That Counterfeit
seat Tickets Are Out.

Seat Tickets Are Out.
New Haven. Nov. 21.-Manager Rob
ert Illxon announces officially TINT there
are counterfeit tickets on the market for
the Yae-Ifarvard game and warns the
public that the only tickets that are good
are those issued by the management
through the allotments scheme. That al
lotment used up every available seat, as
is evidenced by the fact that more than
1000 applications are on file for whom
no seats can be provided.
Mr.. HiXon says:
I'VE have found that there is firm in
New York which is countcrfeitins the
tickets and that its agents here have
been notified to expect shipments by fii-
day night OF Saturday morning at the
latest. We are cndeayoring to locate the
makers. We are informed on credible
authority that our plates have in some
manner been secured o. have been copied
for this bogus issue. Everybody should
take warning from this and buy tickets
from none but the Yale and Harvard
football manasements.
Fancy prices rule for seats that have
been secured from students. The high
water mark WAS three desirable seats for
$50. The demand is unprecedented, aud
the spectators bcmoan their ill luck at
having secured only few.
