The shipment of peaches from Dover

years. w. H. Barnum, one of the prin-

shipped large consignments of Troth's

to begin with the larger peaches next
week, and the Elbertas, the favorite
new variety, in about ten days. On
Thursday, Mr.. Barnum shipped from
Dover nearly carload lof fine Bartlett
pears, Ia fruit THAT has been very
scarce for more than five years, and
which lis considered one of the most
luscious products of Delaware or
cIhards The pears were shipped in a
partyl ripe condition so that they may
ripen i'm the baskets and become a

Editor DelaWarean:
Will you allow me space in your
paper, which is more widely read in
this section than any other, to give my
views as a Union Republican, upon
local politics here. First, l would like
to set at rest all conjecture as towhere
John Hum, our nominee for Lieuven-
ant-Governor, stands politically. He
is Union Republican and no.hing
else. He belongs squarely to cur
party and is in no way identified with
the Regulars. / would like further to
say to my Union Republican friends
who are squabling over the Legislative
nomination, that l believe Dr. Frank
Grier should be named for that posi-
Ition. He is not mixed up in the fight
now going on and is a popular man. |
believe the Union Republican voters
want him. UNION REPUBLICAN.

CAPTIVE TRAMP
KILLS OFFICER.
Clayton Policeman, Called in to
Aid in Tramp Raid,
MORTALLY WOUNDED IN STOMACH
Herbert Haynes Died Yesterday at
His Home in Clayton With
Three Physicians in At
tendance--Tramp
Escaped.

A dastardly murder of "a public
ofticeri nthe discharge of his duty oc-
Cured ON Thursday.
Herbert Haynes, Clayton police
man, As Years old, was shot through
the liver by a tramp who was resisting
arrest.
The Delaware Railroad people had
learned THAT the southbound freight
which passes here shortly after mid
might carried a number of tramps, and
Haynes was detailed ito go to the sta
tion, and with four other officers, sur
rounded the box car in which were
several tramps. "A struggle immedi-
ately begun, and while Haynes was
trying to overpower his man, the fell
low fired, the bullet lodging in his
liver He staggered Ito the f1agman's
box, where he fell, saying, ''Boys, I'm
shot," He was carried Ito his home
and Drs. Cobb, Ickes and T. G. Moore
summoned, and they did everything
possible to alleviate the mans suffer-
ings. The tramp and his chum es-
capped, but THE others were captured.
Haynes has a wife and three children.
The policeman, who was better
known as Hub Haynes, after
an awful night of suffering, died
at $50 yesterday morning. Drs.
Cobb and Ickes of Clayton, and
T. G. Moore, of Smyrna, who were in
consultation at his bedside, succeeded
in restoring him to Inconsistencies
for short time before his death, but
his sufferings We're great and he could
not inI.elligently talk of his affairs
and surroundings. The affair is
great shock to the community, and
especially does public sympathy ex-
tend to the stricken family of Haynes,
a widow and four children.
All the State and railroad detectives
are on THE hunt of the murderer a
colored man, slightly above the me
dunn height, weighing $50 lbs, very
dark and wearing a faded suit of

chum, who fed with him, was much
smaller than the murderer.
A post mortem examination was
held yesterday morning on the Body of
Policeman Haynes and his lhsce at
tending physicians conducted it. The
coroner's inquest yesterday afternoon
went into the facts as published above.

POLICY IN THE PHILIPPINE.
Republicans Charged with Not Meeting
the Great Issue SquareIy.

Republicans Charged with Not Meeting
the Great Issue SquareIy.
For a time Republican leaders were
inclined TO deny to opponents the right
to criticise the Philippine policy of the
administration, but upon investigation
they found that both Lincoln and Clay
asserted and exercised the right to
criticise a president during the progress
of the Mexican war. Instead of meet
ing the issue boldly, and submitting a
clear and positive plan for dealing with
the Philippine question, the Republic
an convention adopted a platform. the
larger part of which was devoted to
boasting and elf-congrauation.
But they shall not be permit
ted to evade the stupendous and far
reaching issue which they have delib-
erately brought into the arena of poll
tics. When the president, supported
by practically unanimous vote of the
house and senate, entered upon a war
with Spain for the purpose of aiding
the struggling patriots of Cuba, the
country, without regard to party, ap-
plauded. Although the Democrats rec
ognized that the administration would
| necessarily gain political advantage
from the conduct Of Il war which, in
| tn every nature of the case, must soon
| end in complete victory, they We'd
| with the Republicans in the support
which they gave to the president.
/ When the war was over and the Re
| publican leaders began to suggest the
| propriety of Il colonial policy opposi-
tion at once manifested itself. When
the president finally laid before the
senate a treaty which recognized the
independence of Cuba but provided for
the cession of the Philippine islands
10 the United States, the menace of i'm
perialism became so apparent that
many preferred to reject the treaty
and risk the ills that might follow rath-
err than take the chance of correcting
the errors of the treaty by the inde-
pendent action of this country.
l was among the number of those
who believed it better to ratify the
treaty and end the war, release the vol
unteers, remove the excuse for war eX-
penditures. and then give to the Phil
ippines the independence which might
be forced from Spain by new treaty.
In view of the criticism which my ac
tion aroused in some quarters | take
this occasion to restate the reasons
given at that time. I thought it safer
to trust the American people to give
independence to the Filipinos than to
trust the accomplishment of that pur'
pose to diplomacy with an unfriendly
nation. Lincoln embodied an argument
in the question when he asked: "Car
aliens make treaties easier than friends
can make lawsY" believe that we are
now In better position to wage a sue
cessful contest against imperialism
than we would have been had the
treaty been rejected. With the treaty
ratified, clean cut issue is presented
