Relief of India Famine sufferers

Lady Curzon, wife Of the Viceroy of
India, in letter to the Chicago Famine
Relief Committee sums up briefly the
situation caused In India by the failure
of the rains over a wide area, and OF
the results of the relief measures. I.
Owing to the policy of the govern.
ment Of supplying every sufferer with
food, the rate OF mortality, according
to Lady Curzon, In the worst district,
shows only slight excess over the
normal death rate. Every person can
get food that will ask for it, and some
$500, coo are receiving relief. The gov
eminent has spent s26. coo, 600 upon
reliof given directly to the sufferers,
while various volunteer relief COM
mittees have distributed over 50, 500,
600. The government has also RENTED
$40, coo, 900 of taxes, advanced 80, 000, 00O
TO individuals for the purchase of seed
and cattle and loaned So, 600, 600 to the

State OF Delaware whose ancestry has

WINGED OF the righteousness of their
opposition to this inter loper and his
aims, and will continue TO oppose him
as long as life lasts.
1t is not surprising that honest Re-
publcans - in fact, honest Della

The Union Republican vote In Will
mineton comprised 81 per cent Of the
total Republican vote of the city in
1896, but fell to only 80 per cent at the
municipal election last year. This
shows how the party was repudiated by
tile Republican voters of this city. II
poll could be taken now, there is nc
doubt it would show a still further

vote, Notwithstanding the encourage

In 1900, as In 1886, the Democrats OF
Delaware find themselves entering upon
an important campaign with theif
party divided in sentiment ovcr the
national platform and national candi-
dates. Many Democrats are as hostile
10 Bryan as they were before, ard the
opposition to free silver coinage Is rs
pronounced as ever.
1t is hardly probable, however, that
those Democrats who arc opposed to
Bryan and FREQ silver coinage, will
inaugurats Sound Money Democratic
! movement, as was done in 1896. Then
! they had ticket containing candidates
Tor Presidential electors and Congress-
man, but with the regular Democratic
nominees for all other Offices. Many
went to the extent of voting for the
Mckinley electors, but all wore salts
\ fed to vote for the Democratic nomi-
nees for local offices.
| The Sound Money Democrats of
Delaware will be just as loynl to the
Democratic State and local tickets this
year as they were four years ago. They
recognize the importance of the cam
paign. and the necessity Of choosing q
Legislature that will make no deal
with j. Edward Addicks over the two
Senatorships that are at stake. The
vote Of no Democrat. no matter how he
may regard the candidacy of Bryan,
will be withheld from the Democratic
legislative ticket, or at least from thai
ticket which gives the completes
assurance that its success will mean
vote against Addicks.
With all the Democrats determined
upon this matter, and with thousands
of honest Republicans who are equal.

About the Democratic State Committee.
Like other Democratic papers of the
State, the Dover Delawatean is not
pleased with the tricky and unrrece-
dented method resorted to by the recent
Democratic State Convention in The
appointment of the State Central Com
mittee. 1t attempts to excuse the
action, however, by the misleading
statement that two years ago the State
Central Committee was appointed by
the chairman of the convention"
This is u fact. So it was four years
ago, and at every State Convention
held for the past thirty years. The
chairman CT the convention has always,
upon motion, appointed the committee,
but his appointment was merely a per-
, functory announcement Of the members
agreed upon by the respective party
caucusss. Two years ago, the cauouses

names agreed upon by the New Castle
