CANNOT AFFORD IT

We refer to- our readers this editorial
from the Middletown Transcript, the
only Republican newspaper printed in
rural Nsw Castle county, which shows
that the people in the rural hundreds
cannot realize how any Regular Re
publican can AFFORD to accept a seat in
the United States Senate as a colleague
Of Addicks;
Much interest and some confusion
was injected into the balloting for two
United States senators at Dover this
week. Senators Groves and McFarlin

been voting for Mr. Addicks. thus Civ

assemblymen have made a mistake, for
as we pointed out iast.week, there may

as to their motives unless the twenty.

twenty OF them should decidi

this fight was to give Mr.. AddicKs on

IN THE NATIONAL CONGRESS

In the United States Senate yester-
day the Army Appropriation bill being
under consideration, amendments
were offered defining the relations of
the United States and Cuba and provid-
ing for the government Of the Philip
pines. Sharp opposition to the Philip
pine amendment developed on the
Democratic side, beginning with a
point of order, which the Senate over
ruled, and followed with speeches by
Senators Til.man. Rawlins, Gallery,
Bacon and Morgan. The amendment
was defended by its author, Mr..
Spooner. Senators Vest, Hoar, Bacon
and Rawlins offered amendments tend
ing to limit the powers conferred by
the Spooner amendment. An evening
session was held to allow time TO con-
tinue the debate.
The House declined to accept the
Senate's action in striking from the
Naval Appropriation bill the provision
for two battleships and two cruisers.
A partial conference report on the
Naval bill was agreed to, and the bill
went back to conference. The House
also agreed to the conference report
on the bill to create a commission of
Eve to adjudicate the claims of United
States citizens against Spain, assumed
by the United States under the treaty
CT Paris.
Senator Bard. of California, has Of
fered an amendment to the Sundg
| Civil Appropriation bin extending tn,

Ihe WhIppIng-post for WIIe.beaiers

From the st. Louis Star.
Shall the whipping-post become a
factor in the punishment Of criminals,
is a question now being considerably
agitated throughout the country.
Public opinion generally appears to
be overwhelmingly opposed to the
scheme, and even in Delaware, where
the post is legally utilized, public opin-
ion appears to be about equally dI-
vided for and against.
One of the greatest objections urged
against the penalty is that il is a re-
yival Of the custom of slave days, when
the negro was swung up and lashed
at the simple will of the overseer.
That the punishment is degrading
cannot be denied, and that it is cruel.
any one who has ever witnessed the
inflictlon will admit.
So far as the degradation is con-
cened. it is not as far-reaching as a
penitentiary sentence, nor is it any
more cruel than extended solitary con-
finement.
In Delaware nearly all grades OF
crime, including bank robbery and
arson, are punishable by whipping in
addition TO confinement in Jail.
Supporters of the penalty justify It
upon the ground of economy. It short
ems Jail sentences and in many in
stances does away with them entirely.
thus relieving the county Of the ex-
pense Of supporting the prisoner.

himself stay out and cause another
one to stay with him, thus reducing the
actual number required to elect on
Thursday of this week. Should Mr..
Addicks be elected by such means as
this, surely he cannot get another man
to accept the other senatorship on like
terms. We are positively of the opin-
ion and have been that the Leg.sla-
ture should elect two senator's, but are
mere positive that those two senators
should be elected by the votes Of at
least twenty-seven Of the Republican
members. No Regular Republican can
afford to accept a seat smirched with
the vote of a Far,ow or clouded by the
absence of Hearn. nor can any Regu-
lar Republican member afford to be a
party TO any deal with Democrats to
elect or to not elect.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Republicans Of Delaware and Mr.. Addcks
From the New York Sun.

nepuDhCanS OF delaware and Mr. AddlckS
From the New York Sun.
II the Republicans of Delaware de-
sired to mete out simple political JUS
tice to Addicks, the Addicks candidate
for senator, they would stand
out against his election.
even if it prevented T. Della
ware from filling either OF the States
seats in the Federal Senate. Addicks
did this in his own behalf two years
ago. Vengeance, however, is one of
the poorest things in politics; faithful
partisanship cannot sanction it. The
Republicans could not be excused for
the campaign they are engaged in il
vengeance We're its only motive. But
they are satisfied that Addicks in him
self is a candidate inadmissible on any
terms, and in that stand they deserve
resolute support on all Sides
The Delaware Democrats are PROV
ing incoruptible 1t will be a pity il
the whole Republican party Of Della
ware should in this. respect prove
themselves inferior to the Democrats.

Chesapeake bay oysters are finding
their way to market in greater quanti-
ties than ever. Queen Anne county has
issued 845 oyster longing licenses and
Kent county has issued S26, an increase
OF twenty-six over last season. The
popular bivalve brings the people Of
Maryland millions OF dollars. From
Cambridge alone, 100000 gallons OF
oysters will be sent to market. The
city man who buys a ten-cent plate OF
raws, or pan or a stew, as a rule
does not realize the extent Of the oys-
ter business on this Peninsula.

PASS lHEInAN BILL

We once more urge upon the Demo
cratic members Of the Legislature the
supreme necessity for affirmative ac-
tion on the High School Loan bill.
We know that It is in the hands Of
Representative Baynard, who has
made himself so unpopular by his op-
position to the License Revenue bill
and his flop to Addicks, but in our
opinion public interest should weigh
more heavily with the Democratic side
than the legislative idiosyncrasies Of
Mr. Baynard.
The High School is built The peo-
pie must pay for it, It is in use More
than 74O children are being instructed
therein. In September the promotions
from the fifth grade viii send at least
$50 more there.
About 45O children who could not
obtain seats in the lower grades before
the High School was built and put 70
use. have been taken in off the streets
and every applicant for a seat in
school has been provided for, a con-
dition which has not existed for twelve
years.
If the Legislature doesn't pass tn,
bill the Board Of Public Education viii
have to go On the street and borrow
$50. 900 at 6 per cent, as well as con
3 tinue to pay G per cent. for the use o
The money already advanced.
The certificates Of Indebtedness pro
vided fer in the loan bill win get IN
s taxpayers the money for from 3ik {
per cent, and the premium will D
from $4,000 TO $1,000.
3 Therefore we say that, no matte
d how the Democratic members may r,
n gard the action OF the Board Of Publ
+ Education in ordering the High Schol
y built. and no matter how bitterly the
% may resent the unnatural conduct
le Representative Baynard, who, unfort
70 aately, is fathering the bill, they mu
oi see that the good name and fair fan

REMEMBER The PASI

There is not a Regular Republican
in the State who is not ready and
anxious to elect two United States
senators, but there are thousands OF
them who would not countenance for
a moment the election Of Addicks, the
man who held up the Republican party
in 1895; defeated st in 1896; held it up
again in 1899; delivered the city Of
Wilmington TO the Democrats in that
same year, and now holds the Repub-
lican party up again in 1901, when it
has an opportunity to elect two United
States senators. No self-respecting
Republican can entertain even the
thought Of having Addicl1s in the
United States Senate without doing
violence to his highest principles and
purest convictions. This is the time
when every Republican should stand
shoulder to shoulder. determined to de-
feat the political adventurer who has
corrupted the electorate, disrupted the
PARTY and disgraced the State. No
compromise can be had with dlsrup-
tion and corruption. Addichs is off his
feet and on his knees begging for the
votes of members Of the Legislature
who were sent TO Dover for the express
purpose of voting against him. Keep
him on his knees, and teach him and
every other man who is back of him
and his propaganda that high principle
is more precious than low policy, and
that no man can come into Delaware
and do what he has done and get off
with it.

KILL THIS BILL

Those men who delight in that cruel
field sport known as live pigeon shoot
ing have succeeded in getting their bill
through the House Of Representatives
it in Delaware. Represen-
tative Ewing was its father in the
lower branch and he worked unremit-
tingly for favorable report and af-
hrmative action.
Now Il Is incumbent upon the State
Senate to kill this pernicious piece OF
legislation. IL is repugnant to public
sentiment. and deserves no mercy at
the hands of the senators.
It is had enough TO take half-domes-
ticated fowl out to the field in coops,
place them, one by one, in a trap, and
blow them to pieces or cripple them
with shot; but that is not all. When
match games are on for stakes, the
birds are often crippled before they
are placed in the trap. Small bones
are broken, pins are stuck in them,
all sorts OF cruel devices are resorted
to by field crooks who want to influ-
ence the match one way or the other
by giving the birds straight or crook
cd. weak or strong or fast or slow
flight
There Is no public demand for this
Ewing bill. 1t is opposed strenuously
by the Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals, as it should be
and by all others who do not want
cruelty legalized
