EDITORIAL COMMENT.

When good faith is bargained away
when principle is cast out, and when
truth and honor are trampled down in
the councils of the republican major
ity in Congress-and all in a matter in
volving the one great policy of the
party today-the mere question Of
unanimity or division in these shame
ful performances is too trivial for sec
ond thought-Chicago lnter-Ocean.
1t is becoming apparent that the
'anti-imperialist" movement is not
based on any ideas of "a superior sense
of right and justice or any humanitar-
ian desire to see a high order of lib
erty accorded a semi-barbarous people,
but solely scheme of democratic lead
ers to embarass a republican admins
tration which has carried two wars to
successful termination.-Hav
Gazette.
Before "Sapho" was played Miss
Nethersole explained why she was so
fond Of portraying such people, by say
ing that she could find NO virtuous
heroine emotional enough for her. She
now defends "Sapho" by saying that
such things exist in real life. It is per
tinent to ask why a hog-killing OF
other choice bits of real life should not
find a place on the stage.-Springheld

MONDAY. MARCH 2s. 1900

Efforts will be made to aid the farm
ers Of the South by enlarging the possi-
bilities of production for an increased
market for sweet potatoes. Sweet
potatoes grow readily and pro-
lifcally in the South and
their cultivation is easy and inexpen-
sive. An effort will be made, with the
hearty support of the secretary Of ag-
riculture at Washington, to educate the
masses in Europe to appreciate the
sweet potato and to bring IL within
their means. The common people Of
Northern and Central Europe are unfa-
miliar with the tuber, their climate be-
ing unfavorable to its cultivation. II

a cheap and yet valuable addition to
their menu. Oats were formerly little

feed, but now oatmeal is on every

HOPES AND nnrRTs-

The union republican convention
will meet at Dover on Tuesday of next
week. II is hoped that there will be
manifested there a spirit of party 10y
atty and disposition to cement the
party factions in harmonious action for
defeat Of the democratic party, that
will be responsive to the proposition
for harmony indicated by the resolu-
ton adopted by the regular republicans
at their convention last week.
It is not encouraging to read the
editorials and remark the tone OF
some of the union republican papers OF
TO consider the words CT some OF the
union republican leaders.
The Dover Sentinel. a chief among
union republican organs, is not short
OF uncompromising antagonism to com
promise or harmony; and it is followed
by ether papers Of that faction.
According to the statement Of vii
liam 3. Clerk. one of the most promi
nent local union republicans, talked o.
as O candidate for governor, me unlol
republicans viii not consider any pro
posal for harmony in the republican
party which may come from the regu
lar republican state committee. Down
state union men have made the sam'
assertion.
While these facts are discouragine
they are by no means conclusive, sine
the regulars have honorably and hon
estly laid a solid foundation for har
mony negotiations; and the rank an
file Of the unions have a deeper inter
est in the republican party than in
personal leadership, and may therefor
be hopefully relied upon to admonis
faction leaders in the matter.

Tuxedo suits for Hire.

And now the Tuxedo suit Is includ'
ed among the mems clothes that may
be hired. Dress suits of the regulation
kind, with the conventional steel pen
or swallow tail coat, are still let, just
as they have long been, for balls, and
for the general use of a dress suit,
but there Is now a demand for Tuxedo
suits for some occasions, and this de-
mand is met at the establishments
where dress suits are kept for hire.
The regulation dress suit continues
TO be the one most in demand; but
there are now men who want a Tuxe-
do for some one of the occasions, and,
take them altogether, a good many
Tuxedo suits are let nowadays. There
may also be hired, both dancing
pumps and patent leather shoes.
For some years. now, though this
is much newer than the letting OF
dress suits, frock coat suits have been
kept to let. These are hired for day
functions, for weddings, receptions,
and so on. OvervOats may also be
hired nowadays-the hiring Of these,
like the hiring of frock coat suits, be-
ing a branch of the business compar'
atively recent inits Introduction. These
are rented for wear on various occa-
sions. including funerals; where 1t
might be, the hirer having no coat Of
suitable color would hire a dark

An Extraordinary Island.

In the Bay Of Plenty, New Zealand,
is one of the most extraordinary isl
ands in the world. 1t is called White
Island, and consists mainly Of sulphur
mixed with gypsum and a few other
minerals. Over the island. which is
about three miles in circumference,
and which rises between 800 and 900
feet above the sea, floats continually
an immense cloud Of vapor, attaining
an elevation Of 10000 feet. In the cen.

water, covering so acres. and sur

liquors will not be made and consumed
by men. That men will, eventually,
through the grace of God, the achieve
ments OF science and the universal
wisdom of men, cease to be intemper-
ate. no one needs doubt.
II must be remembered that the dys-
peptics outnumber the inebriates, and
these are simply victims OF intemper-
ate feeding. The man who pays five
cents for a loaf of warm leavened
bread and eats it innicts greater injury
upon his system than does the man
who buys a mug OF cool beer for five
cents on a hot day and imbibes It. The
man who invests dime in mince pie
and eats it damages his system more
than the man who pays ten cents for {
glass Of wine and drinks it. Men Will
in time, learn TO eat and drink wisely
Now they eat and drink unwlsely ant
pay the penalties.

AT LONG RANGE.
More Horses Than Men Are Killed
in War.

iii W
In the Franco-German War, 1870, at
Gravelotte. the German cavalry lost
200 horses and 100 men, while their
artillery lost 300 horses and $50 men.
At vrinville, n terribly fierce battle
the German cavalry lost 1,6OO horses
an 400 men, while their artillery lost
1000 horses and 730 men; but at the
battle of Woerth the German cavalry
lost only 80 horses TO 60 men. rms
shows that when the fighting is close
and hot the men fall in greater num-
bers than the horses.
From the relative loss Of men ana
horses you can tell whether 1t was a
defeat or victory; for in victory
the difference between men lost ana
horses lost would not be very great
while In a defeat and retirement the
loss Of horses would be immense.
In well contested hand-to-hanc
fight Of cavalry the loss Of horses Is
about equal to the loss of men. Whef
the British troops were engaged u
the Peninsular War they lost in eacl
of the 10 battles an average Of u
horses to 10 men, showing fierce anC
close fighting.
On the other hand, the loss Of horses
is very great when the cavalry hay'

oBsTRUCTs AMBITIONS
REPUBLICANS MUST CHOOSE BE-
TWEEN ADDICKS AND SUCCESS.
DECADENCE OF THE PERSONAL
PARTY IN KENT

I
PARTY IN KENT.
The Peninsula News and rAdver-
tlser foroibly calls to the attention OF
aspiring republicans the menace of an
obstructing personal party that ignores
party issues and contends for the right
OF one man TO dictate and control the
dominant party Of the state. 1t says:
"The republicans of Delaware have
their choice; on the one hand they may
have Mr. Addicks and defeat all along
the line; on the other, an united party
and success. Which shall IL be? Is
there a republican of either faction
who wishes to be governor or con-
gresham? Mr.. Addicks is the only OBJ
stacla to success. From the highest to
the lowest office, Mr.. Addicks stands
in the path saying, no republican
shall be elected 10 office till my cleo
tion is assured. If a man is nominated
to the Levy Court, to the Legislature
to a county or state office, he must
stare defeat in the face. Why? Be
cause Mr.. Addicks wills IL so. The re-
publlcans OF Delaware say to the fol-
lowers of Addlcks, eliminate this ele-
ment which has wrecked the party
and no further concession will be ask
ed from anyone. He will not go until
elected; then let's eject him."
DECADENCE OF ADDICKSISM.
The Milford Democrat is Of the opin-
ion that "Addicks, without a doubt, is
done for in this state, and that there
Is a landslide from Addicks. The
Democrat article is very positive all
the way through. IL says:
"The Addicksites in Kent county are
losing ground in many ways, the most
noticeable is in numbers. The regu-
lars claim that they numbered 500
strong in Kent county alone at last
Saturdays primaries. This means
that they have gained at least 400 in
two years and drawn the whole
number from the Addicksites. This is
enough to defeat the whole Addicks
ticket In Kent county. There has been
landslide from Addicks to DUPONT,
and It Is still sliding Addicks money

The objection against the sword is
that, when marching through hilly
