Republicans and tho civ,i service.

An interesting story is told by a
Washington correspondent Of the New
York Evening Post about tho Civil
Service plank OF the Republican
National Convention. The plank which
President Mckinley approved, and
which was sent to Philadelphia, no
says, was as fellows:
We renew our support Of the Civil
Service law, and favor the gradual ex-
tension OF its principles wherever prac-
ticable. We sustain the courts of the
administration in making its appoint
ments in Cuba, Porto Rico, and tho
Philippines on grounds OF merit and
fitness, and so far as possible, from
among the inhabitants of these islands;
and approve its vigorous action, where
trust has been betrayed, for the search.
ing investigation and rigorous punish.
ment OF the wrong-doers.
But tho plank which was inserted in
the platform presented TO the conven-
tion was obviously remodelled from
this. rs comparison of the two texts
will show. 1t ran:

The Utica Herald believes that il the
Democrats CT New York nominate a
man for governor who can't be bossed,
the people will do the rest'' Very
Likely. But unfortunately, Boss Croker
will name the Democratic nominee for
governor, and he will select only man
who can be bossed. Boss Platt will do
the same for the Republicans, and the
voters will therefore be compelled to
make n choice between the creatures OF
two bosses. The situation is not at all
creditable, but it will continue to pre-
vail in New York politics SO long as the
people allow Boss Platt and Boss
Croker to make the nominations.

There is no doubt that the general
trend in the direction of DISTINGUISHING
the negro vote of the South is due to
the corrupt manner in which that vote
has always been used in the interest OF
one party. II the colored voters. exer-
cised the right Of suffrage intelligently,
instead of blindly supporting one PARTY,
there would be no desire for their dis
franchisement.

didates crammed down their throats
with the order to swallow them or go

Morning News, referring to the ticket
publicly named by Mr.. Addioks at tho
State Convention of his party, at Dover
on Monday. This is a truth that APP
peals to honest Republican voters
throughout the State.
No such convention az that which
registered the rule Of the gas man at
Dover, on Monday. was ever before
held in Delaware. There have been
conventions where candidates were
nominated by acclauiation, but this
was invariably due to the fact that the
preliminary campaigns and the results
of the primary elections had proved
such candidates to be the overw helming
choice OF the voters of their marty. The
conventions, in such instances, merely
registered the party's will.
But this was not the case Mt the
alleged convention held Mt Dover on
Monday. The delegates to that con-
yentiun we're hurriedIy chosen. without

dorsed by the county caucnses. In the
New Castle county caucus, Mr.. Adj.
dicks announced the selections from
this county, and tho names from Ken,
and Sussex we're announced by mer
who smoke with his authority. And in
each county his selections were ac
cepted without a murmur, while til,
convention swallowed them without
eulping. That is what the convention
was held for, and each delegate under
stood that he was to accent whatever
Mr.. Addicks laid before the gathering.

The heavy negro registration. in some
of the rural districts on Saturday is
significant. 1t indicates a concerted
movement on the part of the Addicks
Republican workers to make a fight
for the legislative districts. The Legis-
lature is what these people are after,
and for its possession they would sacri-
fee every other portion of the Republic
can ticket, from Presidential Electors
down. The electoral vote of the State,
even il it should determine the Presi-
dency, is of no importapce to the
Addicks Republicans compared to the
control OF tho Legislatures.

Mr.. Addicks is not only growing
loquacious, but, like Teddy Roosevelt,
he is becoming very unfortunate in his
expressions. His slur at DR.. Edward
Fowler, the occupant of the office, in
announcing his selection of Stansbury
j. Wiley as the nominee for insurance
commissioner, was mere Of an unkind-
ness to Mr.. Wiley than "a reflection
upon DIR. Fowler. Mr.. Wiley will

When asked to stump Maine for Nc
Kinley and the Republican party, Ex-
Speaker Reed is said to have replied
that he is too busy man" to make
any political speeches this year. When
such stalwart Republican rs Thomas
b. Reed refuses 10 help the Republican
party, it is pretty good evidence that
the Republican party is on the wrong
tack. And when Democrats of promi-
nence and ability refuse to take the
platform for that party, it may be ac-
cepted as evidence that the Democratic
party, also, is far from tho right path.
1t is u curious political situation.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED.

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube gets infiamed, you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
Examination can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by ca
