ENGLAND MUST BORROW.
South African War Expenditures
Drain the Treasury.

New York, Nov. 5.-British financiers
here are expecting a busy winter, says
the Tribune's London correspondentTh The
continuance of heavy war expenditures
in South Africa viii involve the govern
ment borrowing on a large scale. 1t IS
also expected that the indemnities for
loyalist claims in Cape Colony and Ma
tai will need financing in some way by
colonial loans with guarantees from the
home government. The mining COM
panies will also be forced to borrow
many millions before their properties
can be put in a proper state of develop
ment. There is also the certainty thai
the China indemnity can never be paid
without international credit and assist
ance< China's debt already exceeds $780,
600. 600 and the interest and sinking fund
now require 8,000,0 600 annually. 1t IS
not believed by hnanciers that the in
dernnity for the maSsacres and attacks
on legations will be less than S200, 00O,-
600. so that at least $50. 600 600 viii be re-
ouired in the future for interest and
sinking fund service. International
control of the Chinese revenues and tax
es will be indispensable if these indem-
mites are ever paid

closing rules, it is expected Shipments
are so heavy in and out of Topeka in the

that the accommodation of business ne
cessitates some such action The mer-
chandise has to be handled and the
freight agents say they find it almost
impossible to maintain the rule as agreed
upon because of. the volume of busi-
ness.
The monthly tonnage reports never fall
below corresponding months of previous
years and this year is largely a record
breaker. Over 1000, 0O0 pounds of mer-
chandise in less than car load lots, were
handled in one month at the Rock Island
depot, for instance
The freight agents have been too busy
to form their local association and since
conditions seem determined@to nullify
their primary agreement as to closing
hour, it may be long time until the
association for other mutual benefits
sees it's realization.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
white-winged Peace in Delaware

"hlte-Wlnged FeaCe m Delaware
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
There is now very little doubt that
the Republican party will carry Della
ware for the national and the state
tickets. This happy result has been
brought about by an agreement be-
tween the two factions which have
hitherto split the state between them,
TO hold common. primaries and unite
their forces on a single ticket.
Until the last few days it was feared
hat the Republican party there would
go to the polls with two tickets. The
Regulars had selected Burris for gov
rnor, while the Union men had named
Marshall fer that Office. Had these
two tickets been nominated, it would
have resulted in a division of the vot-
ling strength of the Republican party
and, as happened four years ago when
lEbe w. Tunnel was elected, a Demo
lcratic governor would surely have been
the result, with strong chances that
the congressman and electoral ticket
would also show on the wrong side
Now, however, the warning factions
have agreed to hold common primaries
for a single ticket, and there is prac-
ltical agreement that the two candidates
for governor will be withdrawn and
both wings of the party unite on Harry
"A. Richardson, of Dover. Though de
lfeated six years ago for the governor
lship. Il is believed that there is no mar
lin all Delaware who can so success
fully unite all elements of the warrinl
factions against the common enemy.
This will be a satisfactory lull in one
lof the most bitter faetional fights tina
lthis country has ever seen. But il IL
Temporary truce only. Until the tw'
factions disband their organizations
dismiss their committees and form
compact organization Delaware wll
d never be safe. There is a lesson II

PROMISES Thai FAIL

The Union Republican party must
ieither win or stand discredited before
the national Republican party, for il
has promised to carry the state and II
is looked to for that promise to be full
filed IL cannot be done without the
help OF the Regulars. It is, therefore,
a question OF which party Will be the
one TO cause the defeat OF the general
party in case there Is failure to get
together.
So says an Addicks organ. Compare
those words with the declaration of
Addicks and his cabal before the Com
mittee on Credentials Of the Republi-
can National Convention In substance
they said:
Give us recognition, and we can de-
feat the Democrats and the Republi-
cans and carry the state by 5000 major
llty."
They were recognized. They came
home to nurse their promise 1t grew
sickly in Delaware air, and Addiclls
and his friends have been crying over
the puny thing ever since. We have
said it before. ana we cay
10 again: Without the help
of the Republicans. Addicks and his
cabal cannot carry county in the
state, and he cannot even carry Bran
DIVINE hundrd, his own home district,
without Republican help.
Addicks and his cabal promised the
Republican National Convention to de-
liver certain goods that they have not
In their possession and that they can
not beg, borrow, buy or steal.
The Republicans promised to deliver
the three electoral votes Of Delaware to
Mckinley They will keep their prom
ise.
The only way in which Addicks and
his cabal can carry out their promises
Is for Addicks. Marshall and Layton to
leave the field entirely and to permit
the Union Republican voters to use
their ballots to elect Republicans in
stead Of Democrats.

Why BARKs IS WILLING

The divided condition of the Repub-
lean party in Delaware is causing
lively scramble for Democratic noml-
nations. The prospects OF success are
so bright that not few Barkses are
coming to the front. Among the promi-
nent candidates for governor are Peter
J. Ford. DR.. ]. J. Black and ]. Wilkins
Cooch all Of New Castle county. Either
one OF them ought TO win II nominated
and make a most creditable executive
n elected.-Cecil Democrat.
Yes, there is a scramble; the liveliest
sort OF scramble. But We assure our
Democratic contemporaries beyond the
line that II the Addicks cabal is forced
by the Union Republican voters to re-
cede from its position of blocking har-
mony and giving the state to the
Democrats, there will be lots Of follow
ers OF Bryan in Delaware who will b'
glad that the state and county conven'
tions saw fit to leave them off the
ticket.
The Democratic Barkises in Delaware
always are willing when the Addicki
lcabal gives it out that it intends to con
ltrol enough Union Republican votes e
elect the Democratic ticket But one
let those Union Republican voter
notify the Addicks cabal that they ar
foes Of Democracy and intend TO vot
Ito defeat and not to elect it, and tn
