Again last night the senate investigat-

mine whether Howard d. Ross, Republi-
can, or Francis J. McNulty, Democrat.
should occupy "a seat in the Senate cham

The meeting was held in the law Offices
Of J. Harvey Whiteman in the Ford
building, and Sergeant-at-Ams Leach OF
the senate stood guard at the door and
refused admittance to all who were not
directly interested in the contest. A full
committee was present and listened to
the testimony produced with interest.
John ii. Goodwin, Jr., was the first wit
ness called and his cross examination was
continued by ]. Harvey Whiteman, coun-

Speaking Of his conversation regarding
the trouble in the Third district, Goodwin

Howard d. Ross. who was a contest
ant for the seat Of Senator Francis J.
McNulty in the General Assembly,
withdrew his contest this morning and
sent the following letter to Chairman
Knox. of the Senate Investigating
Committee
Wilmington. Del, Feb. g., 1901.
The Hon. Samuel M. Knox. Chairman Of
Committee on Elections of Senate.
Dear Sir: Since the filing of the pa
pers in my contest for the seat of the
Hon. Francis ]. McNulty as a senator
in the Senate of this State, / have
learned with surprise and great regret
that have been grossly deceived in re-
lying upon evidence which, until within
the last few days, l assumed and
thought ! had a right to assume was
IN all respects correct. Within the
last few days It has come to my knowl-
edge that in the producing of this evil
dence deception has been pract.cad
upon me and my counsel. and, although
both myself and my counsel have en-.
deavOred in all ways within our power
TO ascertain which parts of this eyi-
dence can be relied upon, and to sep
arate the reliable from unreliable pOr-
tions, / find that I am unable to do SO
to my entire satisfaction. I cannot ask
your committee to receive or rely upon
evidence of such character. and fol
this reason. and for this reason alCne
and acting upon the advice of my coun.
sell I desire to withdraw my contest
In doing So however. / desire to repeat
my belief in the entire justice Of my
! cause.
Thanking you for your courtesy, 1 an
Yours very truly.

'Wise enough for any old butcher"
said the dog from his seat on the table.
Jake stopped short and just regained
his grip on the water bottle in time to
save a smashrup. He looked at the
dog, but faithful. Fido appeared busy
watching a belated fly buzzing about
his head.
.cHe ISIS trick dog, amt it?'' ventured
Jake, as he filled up the high ball glass
at the same time keeping an eye on
Fido.
Eyes, he is a pretty smart dog" adj
mitted the stranger.
"That Dutchman's dialect makes me
weary" growled the dog.
Jake staggered back against the bot
ties.
..vat iss? Your dog makes talking.
How ISIS it?'
"Why, that's nothing drawled the
stranged. THAT dog has always talk
ed"
HE did vat?', shouted Jake.
HE has talked ever since he was a
| pup
Eyes, and talk better than a Dutch
man at that came from the dog
Jake saw a chance to make his place
a money winner With the dog he would
be operating a regular gold mine. Peo-
pie would come in just to hear the dog
talk, and Jake wanted the dog. The
stranger did not appear anxious to sell,
but Jake insisted upon bargain.
He had reached the reckless stage,
and was preparing to tear the hoops
off of a 500 bale of green Autographs,
when the stranger stamped on the floor,
| and a crowd of Jake's regular customers
rushed into the room. The stranger
with the trick dog was ventriloquist,
and Jake credited several bottles in the
profit and loss books.
"Have you any idea," asked a down
town druggist recently, "how much
money is spent in st. Paul every year fol
soda water and ice cream?'
The regular customer had never fig
ured the thing out AMI told the druggist
so.
"Well, I'll tell you" returned the mar
of the pestle. 1.-THE money that goes
over the different ice cream and soda
water counters every year would run the
fire and police departments and there
would be enough left over to ray the ex-
penses OF municipal election into the
bargain. It would pay for every school
house built in the state Of Minnesota
last year." and the regular customer
looked doubtful.
"And more" continued the pillman

APARTY OF PELF.

Government by parties under democ-
racy is in our present state of deyel-
opment a necessity. 1t Is one of those
ills which will have to be borne until
cure can be evolved from experience.
AS long as human nature remains as it
is, a national party, long in power, will
become a party of personal interest. Pub
lie good will be sacrificed to private gain
"a patriotic party will, if continued long
in power, degenerate into party of pelf.
This is especially true under our consti-
tuition and with our people where the
thirst for the dollar brings on fever
which burns out honesty, honor and pa
triotism. 1t is a harsh thing to say, but
everyone knows that the individuals of
dominant party are sure to develop into
universal grafters If allowed to remain
in power a sufficient length of time. Care
full at first, they grow bold through imma-
nifty and at last, like the late congress
sional syndicate for the exploitation of
the Philippines. openly declare their in
fanny and ask the world, What are you
going to do about itig
1t is settled proposition now that the

their advertising had been able to over
come the popular notion that the inven-
ton was something of a toy. and that for
practical purposes in naval warfare 1t
would not be found worth much
The test just made down in Peconic
bay In Long Island Sound is likely to be
followed by big results for the invention.
Fifteen hours is a pretty good while to
stay under water. The torpedo boat
which can accomplish that much is pretty
sure to prove a formidable machine, If
only it can propel itself while under the
water during the entire period. One of
under water said that it could stay I'M
der for three months if enough food We're
aboard. Well; if the food were the only
hindrance there ought not to be much
very small compass these days.
Will the Fulton revolutionize naval
warfare? 1t certainly must so result If
it can accomplish what its owners claim
for it. When young Gushing sent his
torpedo into the huge bulk of the rebel
RAM Albemarle, sending that dangerous
vessel to the bottom Of the Roanoke riv-
err, he did one of the most heroic things
ever done He had to do it In the teeth
of a hail Of shot from the vessel he at
tackled; but he put an end to the most
formidable ship then in the Confederate
service, rendered a service to his country
which could not be overestimated, and
made himself immortal. In the Santi-
ago battle the torpedo boats proved to
be no good. Had Cervera been able to
send out submarine torpedo boat at
any time during the blockade capable of
staying under water for fifteen hours,
or even for half the time, and operating
while under water, the current story Of
that engagement would be somewhat
different.
If the Fulton is to be pronounced a sue
cess one thing is sure, the days Of the
battleship and the armored cruisers are
done.

In spite of all that has been Published
concerning the Holland submarine boat
very few people have ever taken any
stock in its capabilities. Navy men have
been specially pessimistic about it. Irish
Teyolutionists a good many years ago
bought about the first boat of the kind
that was made, intending. no doubt, to
blow up some, If not all, of her majesty's
war vessels; but, if their purchase ever
crossed the Atlantic or found its way
into waters in which it might fulfill its
mission, the world has never learned the
fact
The New York press has done a good
deal to advertise the boat. But not all

THE Inv AND THE sHorG UN

Hopkins county in Kentucky has been
in state of anarchy for some weeks
past Armed men have camp4d within
its borders, and have issued their def
snce alike of the threat of military iE-
reference and Of the edicts of the courts.
Thousands of them have assembled I'M
der canvas, and have said they would
stay there in spite of county or state,
and go on with their policy Of terrorism
and coercion. The courts approached them
metaphorically cap in hand, telling them
that unless they would be good it would
be necessary to use force toward them.
They laughed, and said: go ahead -
1t is not the first time by any means
that armed men assumed to control the
conduct of the government in Kentucky
or terrorized those about them So the
situation in Hopkins county could not be
regarded as in any sense exceptional.
That situation, however, no longer exists.
The county court Of Hopkins coun-
ty not being able to secure any respect
for its edicts, the courts writ, so to
speak not extending throughout the
county, it was thought advisable to call
in the authority of the state. The state
militia appeared; the armed insurgents
mostly disappeared in the woods of Hop
llins county. Those of them that re-
manned were taken prisoners, and are
now languishing in JAIL awaiting the ac-
tion of the court which they defied
Kentucky is. after all, making some
progress toward compelling normal con-
ditions to be adopted by its insurgent
population. The scoundrels who con-
spired to kill governor are being dealt
with in the most commendable manner
possible. The only regret, indeed, is that
those of them who got out of the state
cannot be reached, owing mostly to the
completely in their crime of certain par
tisan Republican officials who refuse to
give them up.
Cold lead and the ropes end are the
Two prime remedies for the disease from
Which Kentucky has been suffering

the truth is gradually dawning on state
