Many LegaI Remedies

From the Philadelphia Record.
Down at Wilmington an enterprising
saloonkoeper. a dentist and the wife of
a carpenter have organized the Uni
verslty Of Delaware" The business of
the institution is to sell degrees to per-
sons who have more money than time
or brains to put into education. The
founders" have issued all sorts Of de-
grees, mostly TO persons in other coun-
tries who have heard Of the educational
progress of the United States. That
somebody has not sooner discovered
this abuse of the general corporation
laws under which the university" is
chartered is strange. Probably it will
not be necessary to formally recall the
charter. as the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses or Of vio-
lating the postal laws by using the
mails for fraud should bring the work
Of the bogus institution to an end. In
fact, when we look around us we find
ready at hand some legal insecticide
good to kill off almost any sort OF
louise. even the louise pedagogical.

NOT AT WAR WITH CHINA

The State Department has made pub
lie the text Of the identical note which
was recently delivered TO the Powers as
defining the position Of the United
States respecting the Chinese troubles.
It was very cordially received by the
Powers, and the policy outlined seems
to have been generally adopted. In
brief it said that this country did not
consider itself at war with China; that
efforts should be made to localize the
disturbances, and If possible enlist the
aid OF the viceroys Of the southern and
central provinces.

ADDlcKS' Pretty GAME

When Addlcks was in Philadelphia
pleading for recognition he and those
who we're engaged with him in that en-
terprlse made certain bombastic state
ments and promises. one of which was
that they could carry Delaware with
out any assistance from the Republi-
cans. Since their return to Delaware
they have lost that air of self-confl-
dence and self-assurance and are max
ing bids right and left for Republican
support. In some instances they plead;
in others they threaten, but, with it all,
they receive little or no announcement,
for Addicks and his determination to
run for the United States Senate con-
tinue to stand as a bar to a harmoni-
GUS agreement.
Two conferences Of Addicksite lead
ers have been held in New Castle
county this weels--one at Claymont on
Sunday; another in Wilmington on
Monday.
The Addicks State Convention will
be held at Dover on August %. The
plan Of the Addiclzsites is to nominate
a governor. representative in Con-
gress, attorney-general, and one cleo
tor. That will leave six blanks on
their ticket-two electors. lieutenant.
governor. a state treasurer n state au.
ditor and an insurance commissioner
A committee will be appointed with
power to fiji vacancies on their ticket
and then the Addicks convention will
adjourn.
When the Republican State Conven
tion meets. the Republicans will b,
asked TO hll the vacancies, and ther
swing in and accept the Addicks nomi
nees, the Addicksite committee agree
ing in return 20 put the Republican
nominees on the Addicks ticket am
pledging the Addicls party to supper
them at the general election.
II is a pretty plan, but 1t will no
bear analysis. With the Addicks gov
ernor would go the veto power, a sec
retary Of state and more than 200 az
pointments; with the representative /
Congress a private secretary and wit
the attorney-general a deputy. Fartht
than that, the plan would carry wit
it the power of appointing Addicks
United States senator when his "stra
man" resigned the Office. In othI
words, the Addicksites ask about q
offices in exchange for six. two {
which are purely honorary.
II that is their game they might 1
well make 1t solitaire and play it to
hnish on August %.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
DIsquieting

Dlsquleting
From the Dover Index.
The exuberahce of joy which has fill
ed the hearts Of the Union Republicans
since the recognition of its organiza.
tion by the Philadelphia Convention.
has given place to a disquieting fear
since the appointment of a Regular to
the postoffice at Seaford.
After the action of the National Con-
vention, the Addicksites were con-
vinced that their turn in the division of
the spoils had come at last. Little, in
deed was left before the beginning of a
new administration, but that little they
looked upon as assuredly their very
own The fact that President McKin-
ley has once more passed over their
candidate for one of the rejected Regu-
lars is, therefore, a sad and unaccount-
able act.
Since the convention they have in
sisted that hencefOrth theirs was the
regular organization; that no one who
owed allegiance to national Republi-
canism could oppose them. Neverthe-
less. the president himself has again
demonstrated the fact that the Regu-
lars are recognized at Washington.
Nor is this all. The action Of the
convention at Philadelphia is as moth
ing compared to the substance of Of
fee For four years the Union Repub-
licans have held together without any
place at the spoils table. 1t was weary
waiting indeed, and more than unlikely
that they could endure such a fast for
another such period. Now the dis
quietude which the action of the presi-
dent causes them is through a sicken-
ing fear that McKinley's election this
Fall might bring the same treatment
they received in his present admins
tration.
It is little wonder that their Joy is
no longer unmixed with doubt.
The question has been asked: Did
the president approve Of the action
of the Convention? If he did not, will
he change his policy toward Delaware
Republicans should he be reelected?
1t is even whispered that the actor
OF the Philadelphia Convention viii
lose much OF its force when the people
learn the inside of the matter.
BE all this as it may, there is a feai
OF trouble ahead among the whilon
rejoicing Union Republicans.

HE LOVES TO TALK

Senator Kenney loves to talk and he
Is not at all particular about what he
says. To a reporter in Kansas City he
made this statement concerning politi-
cal conditions here in Delaware:
With this platform and ticket we
shall present a solid front against the
enemy IN the coming campaign We
OF the East feel that there are so many
grave and burning issues that there is
no time for men to halt or falter be-
cause they did not get Just what they
thought was best with respect to a sin
gle plank Never have I found the
Democrats OF Delaware more united
and determined than at this time. The
action OF this convention will be ap-
proved by them and we shall give the
ticket a rousing vote"
There are as many Sound Money
Democrats in Delaware now as there
were in 1896 They will not vote for
Bryan and Free Silver Four years
ago they acted from principle and they
were men who could not be swayed by
The shallow sophistry or bitter threats
OF the demagogues who patted them on
the back until they found they were
firm and then walked away denOunclng
them as traitors. Bryan and Free Sill
yer are once more the issues. and those
Delaware Democrats who repudiated
and voted against them four years age
will do the same thing this year Wher
Senator Kenney says the party will
present a solid front he knows that he
makes a mlsstatement Of fact, for h'
has an intimate acquaintance with po
litical conditions here. and those condi
tions do not warrant the assertion
