The New York Telea raph.

There is certainly no publicantion
THAT attracts readers more easily than
the New York Sunday Telegraph, and
this agreeable state of affairs is due
to it's clever knack of giving the read
er just the kind of news he wants and
presenting il i'm just The manner he
Likes to read it. The Sunday Tele-
graphs popularity is enhanced by
special features not to be found in any
othsr newspaper and by supplement
printed i'm colors on fine book paper,
she illustrations of which are equal to
those of the best magazines"
Such is the opinion of the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, and of every right think
ing person capable of discerning the
merits of publication who mas ever
subscribed to the Telegraph. Fulsome
mendation is all right in it's way
and perfectly justifiaIble in cases of
magazines and successful books and
high literary efforts, but when a con-
temporary will, of it's own accord, give
such f1attsring testimonial to a rival
sheet, then ,fat paper, both in point of
it's literature and in the quality of the
news it presents. must be above the
ordinary daily journal.
The Morning and Sunday Telegraph
will be sent to any one desiring a
specimen copy by addressing the Morn
ing Telegraph, 149 West 42d street,
New York City. Newsdealers, if they
wish salable commodity, should in
cllde the Telegraph i'm their stock of
trade, and if the paper is given dis
play and brought TO the attention of
their patrons, they will find the invest
menft a profitable ONE.

OUR LEVY COURT,

The Republicans are now-for the
first time, we believe-in control of the
Levy Court of Kent county. That
body consists of five Democrats and
five Republicans, or Union Republi-
cans, and as Clerk of the Peace Downs,
a Union Republican, has the casting
vote in case of a tie the Levy Court
may properly be regarded as a Union
Republican body. There was a meet
ing, indeed, last Tuesday, and the court
was organized by the election of the
Union Republican candidates. The full
responsibility for the management of
our county affairs, therefore, rests
upon the Union Republican party.
In view of the results which have
followed and the evils which have at
tended the control of county affairs
elsewhere i'm the State by this party.
the citizens and taxpayers of Kent
county will mot be altogether free from
apprehension as to consequences of
such control here. There are, how
ever, some good men among the Re
publican members, and we sincerely
trust that they will oppose reckless
eNtnavagance, will try to maintain the
county's credit, so high after many
years of Democratic control, and will
give us good juries.
Fortunately, there is IA strong Demo-
cratic minority. While the Democratic
members, of course should not an
tagonize necessary appropriations,
they should insist ON the strictest
economy consistent with the proper
management of county affairs.

Read This Before You Write

Never write poetry until you are at
least 30, unless you fall in love. when
it will come to you like the measles.
You would better begin with stories
that is. if you lave a leading idea and
can invent situations. DO not attempt
the novel until you have passed your
fortieth year. 4 novel requires a
knowledge of men and manners, a
study of human character. and powers
to create dialogue and invent surprises
| know that there have been instances
when very young men have written
clever, poems and novels. but these
were freaks of genius which do not
often occur. Avoid attempts at h1
NOR. That mine has already bee
worked for more than it is worth, an
the best of it seems to be laboreo.
What the funny men do produce is not
equal to the unintentional humor
which is to be found in congressional
speeches on the tariff, and in the old
fashioned epitaphs in the country

THE DEADLOCK

I'he farce goes ON. Day after day
rhe Legislature meets in joint session
and takes ballot for two Senators.
But there is mo material change from
the first vote aalSen, and it seems all
together probable that the fiascos of
1895 and 1899 will be repeated and no
Senator elected at the present session.
The Regulars are anxious to elect.
but refuse to accept Mr.. Addicks. The
Union Republicans show no inclination
to abandon their leader, but declare
they will support him to the end
There is every reason to believe that
they will be as firm now as they were
two and six years ago, nor is it likely
THAT Mr. Addicl0s can secure enough
Regulars to give him majority of
THE Joint Assembly. The Regulars
made an unsuccessful effor. last
Thursday to unite the two factions or
parties. They suggested to the Union
Republicans the names of Lieutenant-
Governor Cannon and Atomey-Gen
eral Ward, but their proposition was
mot accepted.
With all the wrangling and anxiety
ON the part of their opponents. THE
Democrats stand firm Thanks ito their
own common sense and to a Thorough
/, organization, the Democrats all the
time present a united front. They
have refused to pursue the suicidal
course advocated by some timid Demo-
Gratis, which if attempted would most
likely have led to the very result it
was intended to prevent. They nomi-
mated their own candidates, in caucus,
and every one of the twenty-five
Democrats in the Legislature lis loyalty
supporting these party candidates.
While the Republican factions are get
fang further apart, the Democratic
party is being solidiied and strength
ened.

BEST GAMBLING SYSTEM.

and Roulette.
Every confirmed gambler in the
world has spent more on less time try
ing to figure out some system to beat
the game" said a well known northern
sporting man. The commonest and
most plausible scheme is the one known
as progression 1t is simply a dou-
bling of bets until a winning occurs,
and theoretically it is perfect. but the
trouble is that all gambling games
have a limit. and the doubling process
increases wager with such enormous
rapidity that it is apt to get over the
stipulated amount before the winning
takes place.

Communicated.
Dear Mr.. Editor:

Dear Mr.. Editor:
Recently copy of the Dover Index
came in.o my hands, and / find the fol-
lowing on the mauter of the Delaware
Ssnatorship muddle:
The perfunctory balloting for U. S.
Senator still cones ON without amy
change in ohe result. The different
par.dtS and factions stick to their men
as though no other persons existed
capable of filling the vacancies. The
Democratic members adhere to their
caucus nominees with as much firm
ness as the supporters of Addicks stick
to The gas man. The impossibility of
electing Democrat is so apparent
that waste of time is incurred by the
Democrats not breaking tlhe deadlock
Thy voting for two Republicans unbain-
ed with Addcl0sism.
AS we have previously maintained
it is The only proper course ito tbe adopt
ed in order to insure the defeat of
Addicks and remove him as a po.ent
factor in Delaware politics.
'At the last election it was shown
by the people ;hat the majority was
antagonistic to the Chicago platform
readopted as Kansas City, on which
the Democratic party fought it's bat
cle and lost, here as elsewhere
''The principles of The Republican
party won The fight and to that party
belongs the spoils. If the Democratic
members perform their plain duty by
bowling to the will of the majority of
the people as expressed at the polls,
they will cast their votes for two hon
orable Republicans, break the deadlock
and crush the aspirations of john Ed
ward Addicks.'
The above is commended as a first
class emetic: 81 know thy works, that
thou art neither cold nor hot. I would
thou vert either cold or hot So then
because thou art lul1ewarm and neither
cold nor hot, will spue thee out of my
mouth 8, Is, 16.
With display of sufficient reason
and magnaminlity on the part of mem
Ibers of the Legislature the present con-
tention may be easily adjusted. The
entire matter of choosing United States
Senators is in the hands of twenty-five
Democrats and eight Republicans.
Now, it lis hardly to he expected that
the majority will yield to the minority
Human nature and particularly politi-
cal human nature is not made that
way. Tt would be ungenerous to re-
quire il ais a condition of settling so
grave difficulty. Assuming that both
contes ants are honest, that both are
sincerely desirous of reaching a righ
decision, fet the twenty-five Democrat
and eight Republicans more than
enough to elect on joint ballot, meet
i'm caucus and chose each a candidate
for United States Senator, those
hitherto having the highest majorities
would be better, as indicating the
popular preference, and then meet in
joint session and elect accordingly. Is
it not plain that refusal to do this
is to assume the responsibility of a
vacancy for Delaware in the United
States Senate, or possibly, what is
worse, of enthroning briber in the
highest place of honor State or ma
tional, i'm he gift of our beloved com
monwealth? What Delawarean with
am infnitesimal speck of State pride
or self-respect can entertain This for
moment? REHOBOTH.

sioners are folly good fellows" His
reasons for thinking so are simple and
no one blames him for it.
He says he has now more good rea-
sons for saying nice things about them
than he has about the members of the
Powell county board, which refused to
allow the bill he presented for work that
his office force performed in the pure
suit and capture OF James Macarthur,
who paid the penalty for murder on the
9Th day of last SEPTEMBER.
Sheriff Conley also took an important
part in causing the arrest of John c.
Hunter, now in Jail in Philipsburg
charged with the murder of his son-in-
law, e. o. Walbridge, near Flint Creek
Falls in Granite county more than year
ago.
A few days ago Sheriff Conley ap-
peared before the Granite county COM
missioners with a bill for services rem
dered in the case. The bill was prompt
ly paid. |
His account against Powell county was
only one-third as large and it was pro-
tested. resulting in the bringing Of a
suit in the district court which was tried
and decided in the officers favor. The
Granite county board allowed the bill
presented to them within two hours after
it reached their hands. That is why
Sheriff Conley says they are 'jolly good
