For a week or more certain newspa-
pers have tried to get up a sensation
on the Senatorship from Delaware.
They would have us believe that Gov
ernor HUM is after the place himself,
that is, seeing it is impossible to have
Mr.. Addicks elected by the Legisla-
ture, and President Mckinley wishing
the two vacancies filled by Republi-
cans, will call an extra session of the
Delaware Legislature as soon as 81 of
the joint session can be relied on to
vote for Republican candidates,
One of the Rehoboth correspondents
of Wilmington paper after. quoting
the familiar statement that "the very
walls have ears" says:
During this week a conference was
held in this cottage, at which the sub
lect of the senatOrships was broached,
and the suggestion made that Secre-
tary of State Layton would make a
suitable successor to Governor HUM,
in the event of the latter's elevation to
the Senate. The suggestion was not
favored by Layton, however, on the
ground that there are greater emolu-
ments attached to the Office of Secre-
tary of State than to that of Governor
The full programme, according to
the story that comes from this partic-
Ular cottage, involves the election to
the two senatorial vacancies of Gov.
HUM and Lieut.. Gov. Cannon. This
would advance Secretary of State Lay
ton to the governorshlp, or, should he
decline the promotion, . Attorney Gen
eral Ward.
The possibility of both the secretary
of State and encouragement refusing
ia accept the prOffered governOrship,
would throw the succession in turn to
president pro tenn Harry G. Ellison of
the Senate and Speaker J. V. MeCom-
mons of the House. In any contin-
gency, however, it was understood
that if Secretary of State Layton would
not consent to be governor, he was to
be reappointed to his present Office by
the new governor, whoever the latter
might be.
But HUM and Cannon for the sen
atorships is the part of the programme
about which there was NO dissent, and
if the signatures of q Republican
members of the General Assembly can
be secured to an agreement to vote
for them, or for any two men outside
of Addieks, the programme will be
carried through.
Mr.. HUM says himself that there is
nothing in it, and his friends spurn
the idea that he is seheming for the
| Dlace. In fact the Ranuhlican organ.
ization of both Kent and Sussex look
upon Mr.. Addicks as one of the Logical
candidates for one of the Senatorial
vacancies.

Old militia Election. and New.

From the American Revolution to the
year 1923 the officers of the militia of
the state of New York had been an
pointed by the council of appointment
upon the recommendation of command
ing officers of divisions, brigades and
regiments, and the promotions were
generally made according to rank and
seniority. Under the new constitution
and the militia law of 1923, and In ac-
cordance with the democratic spirit of
the period, the election Of military off,
GERS became the established usage and
has continued until the present day.
The election Of officers in 1923 and fol-
lowing year was attended with consld-
cradle ceremony-officers attending
them In full uniform, and noncommis-
stoned officers and prlvates in undress

Fish Tint Change Color.

1t has heen found that certain
prawns, common along the coasts Of
England. change their color at least
twice every ~ hours in order to har-
monize with the stronger or weaker
light prevailing near the surface or in
the deeper water. AS evening aQ-
proaches these fish lose their distinctive
day colors, and all assume a transpar-
ent azure hue. The change begins with
a reddish glow. followed by a green
tinge which gradually melts into bsue

The Illinois Senators are said to be
trying to get together in support of
candidate for the position of Comp
tr lller of the Currency, which becomes
vacant by the resignation of Charles
G.. Dawes, who quits the public ser
vice to make the run for the Senate
against Senator Mason. The leading
candidate for Comptroller is Benjamin
r. Felix, well known Chicago poll
tician, who has always been a good
friend of Mason. The latter will sup
port him and i is said that the friends
Of Felix can throw a good deal of
strength to Mason in the hard fight
that is before him for a reelection.
Senator Collum has not yet vouched
an intimation as to what he will do.
Senator Mason is quoted by Illinois
politicians as saying that if the two
Senators agree on Felix that will settle
1T. The fact that Secretary Gage is
an Illinois man would seem to rein
force the idea that the place would &c
to that State, but it is said he is mol
anxious that Mason should gain any
thing by the appointment, and that hC
favors the candidacy of Dawes to sucl
an extent that ne will not advi-a thC

trOller from some other State.

IL THE death of Peter L. Cooper,
following so soon as it has, the death
year ago of Lewis G. Vandegrift, Del
aware has been singularly unfortunate
in the death of two promising attor-
neys-at-law. They were both men of
more than ordinary ability, to which
was added personal integrity and char
acter, and it was natural that the State
looked forward to. the time that they
should fill the important places in the
gift of their partp. The death of such
men in early life is an absolute loss to

We call this wonderful implement OF
the bee a tongue, but in reality II Is

accomplished by series of springs and

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN has evi-
IDENTITY seen in the sentiment aroused
by the recent action of Ohio Demo
Gratis, that his chances to be the Dem
ocratic Standard Bearer again are ut
terly impossible. Nevertheless, he
means to have a controlling interest in
the affairs of State, and if not a nOmi
nee himself, will dictate, to a degree,
from which State a choice shall be
made. In his COmnlOner he deplores
the tendency of the two leading par
ties 10 nominate men from doubtful
States. such as New York, Illinois,
Ohio and Indiana, and thinks it time
that the South ard West were given
more consideration. Mr.. Bryan con-
cludes as follows:
eff someone living south of the Ma
son-Dixon line is chosen for the first
or second place on the ticket his place
of residence will not weaken him,
though he be an Confederate sol
dier. We are engaged in a mighty
struggle against plutocracy and we
need the whole nation to pick from
when we select our standard bearers.
Merit, not section, should determine
the nomination; fidelity to principle,
not locality, should control. y
In public sta tement Mr.. Bryan
gives his version of the story that
Aguinaldo promised him financial as
in his campaign last year.
MIR. Bryan says that while be was in New
York he sent request to confer will
him. He declined to meet them, and
sent a friend to explain that he diC
not think it proper to hold a confer
.enee. The Filipinos said Aguinald
was willing to issue a proclamatio
promising to lay down arms il case G
