POLITICAL SITUATION
DELAWARE LEGISLATU
ORGANIZATION HAVING BEEN BEEN SAT.
ISFACTORY SETTLED WORK BEGUN.
Much Senatorial Talk" Is Going on and the
Probability is That Addicks and Some
Regular Will be Elected.

A Dover correspondent of the Will
mington SIM says:
''The situation at Dover is about the
same except that the majority of peo-
pie are convinced of the fact that j.
Edward Addicks will occupy a seat in
the U. S. Senate.
The present reversal of political
power is causing the ''pets of Democ-
racy," who for years have gloried in
the remunerative occupation of ''hold-
ing offices, to look glum, and such ex-
pressions as "house cleaning and
'lOOsing our heads" are spoken rue
fully. The Inauguration of Governor
elect Hum promises to be a memoir
able affair. January 18th is being
looked forwarded to as a gala dav.
There will be big representation from
every part of the State.
Many clubs will participate and
large body of horsemen from all over
Kent county will be in line.

ELECTION METHODS IN DELAWARE.
uovernOr Tunnel Refers to Them In His
Last Annual Message.

Governor Tunnell, of Dover in his
message to the Legislature, denoupces
with great earnestness the intimidation
and bribery practiced in that State
during the recent Presidential cam
palgn. Bribery, corruption and in
tlmldation," he says, "waIked bra
zenlv through our State at the last
election, and the only barrier in
the way of the shameless and
open violation of law and decency was
our present system of voting" The
constitution of Delaware. it seams
contains 'the most stringent safe
guards" for the preservation of s.nur-
lty OF the ballot and freedom of the
voter, but In spite of these safeguards
elections in Delaware are not stbe freo
and unlnt1uenced expression of tho
"lshes OF the voters" On the con-
trary they seem to represent the sun.
preston of the popular will. A littIa
thing like the State constitution is NOT
permitted to interfere with the plans of
aspiring statesmen and benevolent a.
slmliators of votes. The condition of
things is admitted by honest men Of
all parties to be most deplorable. but |
neither Governor Tunnel nor ANYONE
else appears to have any remedy to
suggest except the development of a .
purer public sentiment. Yet it wonld |
seem there ought to be a way of uproot-
Inc an evil that has grown to such pro-
portlons as to endanger the founda-

WOMAN SUFFRAGE OUT WEST.
Opponents Making Much AdOO About the

The opponents of woman suffrage
are shouting from the housetops: 'Be-

four years in Idaho. five years in Utah.
seven years in Colorado, ten years in
Wyoming and the millennium has not

But what right have men to exact n
guarantee from women that thev will
regenerate the world with their ballots?
Have they required such pledges from
any other class of citizens? Was this
result expected when several million
plantation negroes were enfranchised.
and when the vote was conferred on
the semi-civilized Indians of the West

previous to each election scour the

MT. Sterling and MT Merri- wether are the local members. At Duukirk are the other mem bers of the company of which MT. Jos. Bates is president and Mr. NJ. II. Sloan secret ary.
 MT. Robert Burnham has been en- gagged to develop the property and he and MT. Sterling left Thursday for a preliminary survey. MT.

 Review: Dave Waters, former Tombstone boy arrived Tuesday from Helvetia where he has been working for sometime He reports the shelter there as running in full blast and turn ing out over 30,000 pounds of copper matte every twenty-fonr hours. They have plenty of water and ore has al- ready been developed rto keep the smelters running for some time. There are at present about l75 men employed in the mines.
 Star: Judge William H. Barnes re- turned from Phoenix yesterday, where he has been closing the sale of the Henrietta mines The sale went to the purchasers of the McCabe mines, tue price paid was sl00,000, good per, centage was paid down. Judge Barnes has made good turn in this deal. He may now be considered the bo- nanza mining lawyer of the Territory and this is all right as he earned the coin and title by hard work and close attention to husjness
 We struck l4inch streak of ore in the shaft last night May 29). It is a decomposed sulphide, and is the same as have just had assayed only a better grade. We struck it first about four feet above and 1t was only two inches wide, and in sinking four feet it has widened to fourteen incEes. It has strong dip toward the contact to the north. The formation looks as though we were just coming to large ore body. We are feeling happy"
 Star; There are many prospects in the surrounding country near Tucson which if developed, will make big divided paying mines. They have as good showing for the work done as any of the great mines of Arizona had It requires men with nerve and push to put money in and make mines of those prospects. See what the Loma Verde Copper Co. are doing. We saw some very fine copper ore from their properties and understand that the outlook is good for big mine and 1t might be said at the very door of Tue son, being only l5 miles away and there are others.
