Addieks 1889.

Replying to q statement by Every
Eyening that in 1888 the Republicans,
without even knowledge of Addicks,
much less his aid, elected a majority
Of the members of the Legislature, and
that Republican majority elected q
Republican United States Senator, the
first that Delaware ever bnd, and also
the last, the Addicks organ in this
city says: "Mr. Addicks had been a
citizen Of that State for more than ten
years, and was an active and potent
factor In the election of Senator Higgins
in the Legis allure of 1850 -
How Ex-senator Higgins will laugh
IN detision when he reads this. Ad.
dicks ''potent factor' in his election
to the Senator Why, Addicks hadn't a
thing to do with it. This potent
factor" in the political accident that
elected Mr.. Higgins to the Senate was
Charles II. Treat and the five faithful
Republican members OF the Legislature
from Sussex county who stood solidly
for him in the Republican caucus until
he requested them to vote for Higgins.
70; this valuable aid, it is true, he re-
ceiyed no recognition, not even thanks,
but ne was the one potent factor"
that made Mr.. Higgins senator,
Aa for Addicks. when he went to
Dover that year and announced himae I
as oaiiidate TO-. Senator, roar Of
laughter and the cry: "Who is AID.
dicks?' at once assembled. lie was
not known personally to single mem
her Of tine Legislature, nor to dozen
men In the State outside of the CON
fines of Claymont. He was burlesque
at that session, and nothing more.
And this is how much of potent
factor" in the election of Mr.. Higgins
to the Senate Mr.. Addicks was In 1880.

commutatIon of Sentences.


Since the opening of the County
Workhouse the question has been asked
II prisoners there W Ill have the privilege
OF reducing their time OF Imprisonment
by good behavior; in fact, IL there Is
now system of Communication of sentence
In this State?
1t Is a pleasure to answer this ques-
tion in the affirmative. The law au-
thurizing the erection and establish
ment OF the workhouse provides for a
system of Communication for each prisoner
in that institution, and also for res
toration OF citizenship, In cases of per-
sons convicted Of felony, as follows:
For each month during which he has
not been guilty of any violation OF
discipline, or any rules of the prison,
and has labored with diligence and
fidelity, prisoner shall be allowed a
reduction of Eve days from tho period
of his sentence.
at any time after @ convict has
passed one full year Of his sentence, in
which he has not been guilty of any
violation of discipline or of the rules
OF the prison, and has labored with
diligence and fidelity, the deduction
shall be seven days from the period Of
his sen .enoe for each month.
After he shall have passed two full
years as above, tho deduction shall be
nine days for each month. After three
years or more, ten days for each month.
For every violation OF the rules and
discipline, or for want of diligence and
fidelity in the performance of work, the
convict shall not only forfeit all gained
time and earnings for the month in
which the delinquency ocours, but, nc.
cording to the aggravated nature and
frequency Of his offence, the board o:
directors may deduct portion of all Of
his previously earned time and money.
II convi,t passes the period of his
sentence within five days OF the com.
pletion thereof without any violation
of the rules and discipline, he shall be
entitled to a certificate therefor from
the superintendent of the workhouse,
and also to recommendation from the
Hoard of Trustees recommending him
or pardon and restoration to citizen
ship.
Prisoners unable to labor by reason
of sickness or infirmity shall be entitled,
by good conduct, to the ABOVE deduc-
tions.
This system is fair and reasonably
liberal. 1t places in the hands of each
prisoner the regulation Of his future.
He may reduce his time OF imprison-
msnt, make money for himself, and SO.
cure his restoration to citizenship, by
means of diligence aud good conduct.
The incentive is large and the results
should he encouraging. On the other
hand,if the convict delrives himself oil
these material advantages, it will be
his own fault.
Under such regulations, the County
Workhouse should prove reiormatory
as we'll az prison.

THE ELEVATED RAILROAD.

of ilie Situation.

Board of Trade Takes "a Favorable View
of the Situation.
The Board Of Trade takes favorable
view of the situation relative to the
proposed elevated railroad and believes
all obstacles have been removed and the
Street aud Sewer Department will rass
the resolution at an early date. Presi-
dent Lawt,n says:
This matter is now IN very fair
shape for settlement The Beard of
Trade committee is satisfied with the
course Of the Street and Sewer Denart-
Inent. This resolution is far reaching
10 its effect, for the structure to be
ereo!ed is permanent aud is to last for
all time to come. We belieye that the
department has done its duty in the
matter and has aoJed for the host inter
ests of the city. The difficulties have
about been overcome and the committee
has no complaint TO make. 1t has never
had an objection except il ielt the
matter might have been hurried a little.
As the difficulties have now been about
settled We feel sure the resolution will
be passed at an early date, and this
great railroad improvement and these
immense shops viii be secured for Will
mington.
:" 1t is these great shops in which the
people of this city and the Board of
Trade are most interested. They are
to be modelled on the lines of the i'm :.
mense shops ut Altoona and they are ex-
pected to pay out a million dollars a
year in wages, and they are TO be a
valuable acquisition to this city. Th ere
are numerous other advantages to be
secured. y

Winter FIowering Plants.

There are several varieties OF the be-
gonia which are we'll adapted to winter
use. Indeed, they belong to the ever
blooming class of plants, as under
ordinary treatment they are seldom
without flowers, and undor liberal treat
ment they bloom proiusely at nearly all
seasons of the year. In this respect
they are quite the equal of the geranium.
TheyEare also OF very easy culture. All
begonias do their best when given n
spongy, porous soil. Leaf mould con-
tanning generous amount OF sand suits
them better than loamy compost, but
they will flourish in the latter ii it has
sand enough in it to MAKE it friable.
Good drainage Is essential In a poorly
drained sol defective root action ia
quite sure to result, and this ia shown
by the foliage turning brown at its edges
and falling off. Often the plants fall
apart, joint by joint.
Ono Of the best towering bsgonias
ever introduced is Rubia. Its foliage
is rich dark green, without markings
of any kind. Its flowers arc a bright
coral red, produced in great clusters
from every branch Thess clusters are
spreading and pendent, and show to fine
elect among the luxuriant foliage. A
well'grown specimen Of Rubra begonia
is Plant to bn proud OF. Florists tell
mo that they sell more plants of this
var ETY. than Of all other Towering
varieties. -Eben Rexford, in Harper's

As to Voters assistants.

Wnlle making no ofr6rG ACCUSATION,
the Smyrna Gall appears to be sus-
picious OF Governor HUM in con-
nection with the appointment of voters'
assistants for the general election Of
next November. 1t evidently fears that
the governor, in the exercise OF this
duty, will permit himself to be made
the tool OF conscieuceless leaders of the
Union Republican party, and make the
appointment of Democratic assistants
With a view TO putting in their hands
an effective agency for the corruption
Of suffrage through the work OF those
officials.
1t Ia fact that the law reviving the
provisions for voters assistants was
piece Of vicious partisan legislation.
and we have the word of Union Re-
publican organ that it was vensl legis-
lation as we'll, its passage having been
secured by a corrupt bargain for Union
Republican votea in support of piece
OF personal legislation, In return for
Regular Republican votes in support Of
the Voters Assistant law. IL is also u

According to Vienna correspondent
OF London newspaper, the late Grand
Vizier, Khalil Rifat Pasha, was strik-
ing example of the indulent. phlegmatic
fatalistic Turk. He appears to have
cared for nothing but his title and his
salary, and to have allowed the Sultan
aud his creatures at the palace to exer-
else the functions of the Vizierate in
my way that might seem beat to them.
Not infrequently he only heard of what
was done, through the newspapers, MS
he candidly admitted to an interviewer
just before the Greek war.
When he was appointed in November,
1896, something better was expected
from him on account OF his energy in
stamping out brisandage when he was
Governor General of the Viayet of
Kossovo. But as soon as he was Gre ated
Grand Vizier he simply allowed things
to drift, and permitted others TO usurp
his authority without resistance or
protest. His one am, apparently, was
to lead quiet life, unvexed by state
problems. Nothing, OF course, could
have pleased the palace favorjtes better.
They had their own way almost in
everything, and Khalil enjoyed him
self, perfectly Indifferent to The malad
ADMINISTRATION which has been bringing
the country nearer and nearer to ruin.
