IN The NATIONAL CONGRESS

The United States Senate devoted
nearly the whole of the session yc8tor-
day % the Postoffice Appropriation
bill, which was practically completed
although the amendment appropriate
ing S5OOOOO for an extension OF the
pneumatic tube service remains undis-
posed Of Mr. pettus, Of Alabama, de-
liyerod a speech in opposition TO the
Ship Subsidy bill. Just before ad-
j0mnment the conference report ON
the Military Academy Appropriation
bill was laid before the Senate Mr.
Daniel. Of Virginia made vigorous
attack upon the provision which de-
bars a cadet convicted of hazng from
ever holding u commission la the
army, navy on Marine Corps
The House passed the ST. Louis FIX
position bill by a vote OF 191 to Al.
The bill to define the word con
spiracy" in the Sherman Antitrust
law, to avoid the possibility of its be-
ing held applicable to labor organiza-
tions, was defeated by almost two
thirds vote on account of two amend
ments which the Judiciary Committee
placed upon the bin and which were
opposed by the labor organizations.
The sundry Civil bill was under con-
sideration late in the day
Chairman. Cannon, OF the Approprla-
tions Committee. stated to the House
that the appropriations would total
$69l l1lS.595. exclusive Of the sinking
fund requirement Of s53,OOO,OOO against
sGJ1 150,S52 fer the current year.
The Senate Committee on Commerce
completed the River and Harbor bill
and will report it to-day. The total
appropriations are reduced below those
made by the House. The Nicaragua
canal amendment was voted down.

AHls WeIl

From Milford News and Advertiser.
There appears to be little doubt that
John Edward Addicks is out of the
race for the United States Senate at
this session of the Legislature 1t ap-
pears equally certain that the days Of
his political supremacy are numbered
Had Add.cks succeeded i'm his wish.
and been elected to the Senate. he
would doubtless have hanged himself
ere this. but our little State would
have a brand upon upon her fair brow
-the brand of the disgraced and
fallen. AS 10 is. We may gather to-
gethcr the remnants Of our pride and
respectability, and thank God the
worst is over
But to whom do we owe our final
emancipation? Many have played their
parts, and played them well. but chief
ly are we indebted to those splendid
men who in the two last sessions of
the Legislature have stood like Gil
braltar No inducement has been suf-
hcient TO undermine their resolution:
no bribe, no prOmisa of place has been
potent for their undoing. Let us turn
OUT eyes away for q moment from the
sickening spectacle presented by the
Addicks combine, and contemplate the
men whose citizenship was placed
above party, whose character was
above reproach, whose fingers scOrned
bribe, and who could not be sa-
duced Another roll of honor Is being
prepared. and it will include a greater
number than was at first anticipated.

wehK FOR GOOD ROADS

What has become of that good roads
bin that was introduced in the House
of Representatives some time
ago? The session of the Leg
islahre is drawing to clase very
rapidly, and something looking to a
remedy for the existing road system
should be done.
Good uoads enable those residing in
the country districts TO come in closer
contact with each other, and also with
persons residing in the city. Not that
alone but they afford the city business
man and his family an opportunity to
enjoy the pleasures and benefits of a
home in the country.
The people have been looking to the
Wilmington Bicycle Club to lead the
good roads movement. for no class OF
men is interested more in good roads
than wheolmen. In many sections OF
the country they have accomplished
much thorough legislation looking 90
good roads, sidepaths and guide
boards, and there is no good reason
why something ellec,iye cannot be
dcne here where the State rs so small
and the Improvement OF the highways
80 easy OF accomplishment when an
Intelligent effort is made to 90 it.

Ihat Fraudulent list
rom one Delaware Democrat.

From the Delaware Democrat.
A petition praying the Legislature TO
elect AddicSs was sent To- Dover this
week. IL purp0rted TO be from many
hundred OF mechanics OF Wilmington.
The Evening journal has investigated.
ana nnds that nearly every name was
used without authority. nearly every
person whose name was attached hav-
lnG repudiated &C. The names were
taken bodily from the assessm. ut lists.

Another scheme has been uneaNhed
by which AddiclSs has been attempting
TO show that the people are favorable
TO his election For some days enor-
nous patitions have been sent to Do
veraslting the General Assembly to
elect him To- one Of the senatorships.
The Wilmington Evening. Journal of
Thursday lays bare this fraud and
says: THE list contains the names of
hundreds OF Regular Republicans. and
those seen up to this time declare the
list fo be fraud and deny absolutely
ever having seen the petition, and say
they never did sign it. In Bancroft's
mills are many Regular Republicans
and Union Republicans whose names

them has acknowledged signing it,"
