This interesting piece of political
information is detailed by the Milford
News and Advertiser; "On the night
of the caucus which nominated Anthony
Higgins for Senator, number of lead
ing politicians were gathered in the
office of prominent Dover lawyer. A
Wilmington attorney remarked that Mr..
Higgins would be the next Senator, as
he had majority Of the caucus, when
@. r. Layton arose in wrath ard said !:
Then we'll show you whether or not
he can be elected; we'll show ycu how
a minority can Iule majority The
threat was carried out, four men pre-
vented an election OF Senator, and
this is the sequel: G. R. Layton has
been shouting majority rule' ever
since. F" But the shouting does no good.
Having been shown how a minority
can rule majority" the Regular Re-
publicans evidently propose to profit by
their instructions, at least SO long as
the majority romans in the hands that
control it at PRESENT.

A Protest Against imperialism.

We print on another page Of this
issue a liberal summary Of an address
recently delivered by Hon. George s.
Boutwell, of Massachusetts,, at an anti
imperialism meeting held in Washing
ton. 1t is convincing presentation Of
the case of those patriotic citizens who
oppose the course of the administration
in the Philippines, and we commend
1t to the careful consideration of all
our readers.
1t may be well, in this connection,
to first call attention to the career and
character Of the man who thus sternly
arraigns the administration for its
Philippine policy, and points out the
course that this country, in Justice to
its traditions and the living principles
that have been regarded as the bul.
wark of ITS governmental structure,
should pursue. Mr.. Boutwell, is a
native of Massachusetts, and in politics
was originally Democrat. On the
slavery issue he became Free Soiler,
and later Republican, being one Of
the original adherents Of that party.
As a Republican he was elected a
Representative in Congress, and was a
delegate to the convention that nonli.
mated Abraham Lincoln for President.
He was Secretary of the Treasury
under the first administration Of
President Grant, and resigned that
position to become Senator from Massa-
ohusetts, to succeed Henry Wilson,
who was elected Vice. President with
Grant in 1872. He is a lawyer with a
high professional record, and writer
of acknowledged reputation.
The summary that We print of Mr..
Boutwell's address will give COM
prehensive idea of his views Of i'm
perialism, and of his sympathy with
the people of the Philippine Islands,
who have for so many years been
brarely struggling for liberty and
Independence. After reading his
trenchant presentation Of the situation,
there viii be few good citizens who
will dissent from his conclusions, or
dispute his demand, as thus expressed
ALLOW Cuba, allow Puerto Rico, allow
the Philippine Islands to set up govern
ment for themselves, free from any
dictntion by u.s." Most assuredly. Is
not this tine right for which the fathers
Of the American Republic fought for
seven years?
And what patriotic citizen can dis
sent from x-Secretary Boutwell's elo-
quent rercration, in which he says
'FThis is policy of justice, a policy
of peace. This policy ends the war in
the Philippines; it ends the sacrifice
Of the youth Of America; it puts fal
away the perils to which the laboring
population are now exposed it guaran
tees to us the perpetual friendship o.
the three newborn republics, and il
relieves us from the suspicion that WI
are to cooperate with England in al
attempt to subiugate the weaker State
of the world to the domination OF th,
Anglo Saxon race"

fully ten miles had been remade, so
that now there are over forty miles of

Delaware Democrats and the Quay Case.
In the current issue Of the Smyrna
Call, "Old Line Democrat makes
another able argument against the
slightest possibility of any benefit being
derived by Delaware Democrats from
the seating Of Quay in the United
States Senate on the doubtful Gre
dentials furnished by Governor Stone.
Particularly does he dispose OF the
argument that the seating of Quay, and
the consequent appointment of some
.sne to the Delaware vacancy by
Governor Tunnel, would largely benefit
the Democrats of Delaware by fur
nishing them with needed leader, in
the person so appointed. On this point
he writes:
The truth is that our party is in no
great need Of one man power to govern
it. The Republicans of Pennsylvania
have in Quay boss and are rent
asunder trying to get rid of him. The
Republicans Of Delaware have "a new
leader" or boss in Addicks and they
too are all torn up about 1t. That
situation furnishes no encouragement
to Delaware Democrats to help seat
Quay in the Senate, in order forsooth
that they may get boss of their own.
Leadership of the wholesome sort in a
party is thing of slow growth, not a
sudden creation. 1t glows from tho
confidence which sound Judgment,
brilliant intellectual powers and devo-
tion to party principles inspire in party
associates.
In my judgment the Democratic rarty
in Delaware will do better this fall il
1t goes into the fight without any very
definite foreshadowing of the men who
will receive senatorial honors in event
of victory. A number of able gentle-
Men arc talked about for Senator. They
each and all have friends and sup
porters. All of them working for n
party victory as prerequisite to the
qualification of ambition can do more
than any one by himself. An Office to
be given out in the future to any one
of several is worth more to party
than an office already given or openly
promised to particular man. / learned
that much when l was attending the
kindergarten of politics.
The argument is conclusive, the COM
parisons complete. 1t is not possible &c
conceive how Delaware Democrats can
profit politically to the slightest extent
by the illegal admission of Boss Quay
to the Senate.
