WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 10.-What
President Mckinley dared not do up to
the day of his death, President Roose-
yelt has done. He has taken the bull
by the horns in Delaware ana stared 10
work out the famous Addicks and anS-
Addicks faction row. Addicks is a rich
gas magnate who has an ambition 10
come to the United States senate. Fail
ing in the effort TO secure the votes of the
Delaware legislature he has acted the
cog in the manger and prevented any
other Republican from being elected.
He has also tied up the federal patronage
of the state, for the president could not
make appointments without recognizing
one or other faction. This he did not
wish to Go. But Roosevelt is not so
cautious. He has taken sides against
Addicks. There is one congressman from
the state, L. Fl. Ball. Roosevelt has
recognized Ball as the patronage dis
penser in the state. On Balls recon-
mendation he has appointed Robert G..
Houston collector of customs and has
filled other federal positions with anti
Addicks men. Now the fat is in the
fire, and there will be one very disaffect-
ed gas man looking for Theodore's scalp,
Democrats Are Pleased.
Democratic leaders hear with delight
the predictions of Representative Charles
S. Grosvenor and others that this con-
gress will not revise the tariff or ratify
the reciprocity treaties. Ferventiy do
they pray that this prediction may come
true. They sniff an issue. 1t is about
the first smell they have had for long
hungry time. If congress does not do
something along this line they intend TO
appeal to the people next summer to en-
trust the task to them. They hope to
repeat what took place after the agita-
ton over the Mckinley bill. The most
astute Democratic leaders think they see
a strong set of sentiment in the middle
West for revision of the tariff in the d-
rection of taking the duties from articles
manufactured by the great trusts which
no longer need fostering. This and the
establishment OF better relations with the
European markets, as recommended in
McKinley's Buffalo speech, they think
would appeal to voters of both parties
in that part of the country where the
political battles have to be fought. They
intend to keep this matter before the
public. They intend TO allude frequently
to the Mckinley recommendations.
They intend to harp on the power of the
trusts. which have been able to make
the party men forget the dying message
of the martyred president. Then when
congress fails to act, they believe they
will have an issue which Will send some
Democrats to that body.
GrOsvenOr's Con Talk,
"Foxy Grandpa" Grosvenor-emineht
ocn gre ssman from Ohio-is making the
nest OF the ''off year. election results.
Having enlisted on the side of the New
Ergland Tariff league to fight any tariff
revision Or reciprocity agreements, he
is declaring loudly that the strong show
ing made by the Republicans is an un-
mistakable indication Of public sentiment
ON these questions. 1t is doubtful if one
voter in hundred thought of tariff or
reciprocity when he entered the booth
Tuesday, but Grosvenor now says that
the whole campaign in Ohio, Iowa,
Nebraska and New Jersey was made on
this issue, and that the people have
shown that they would sooner amend
the Ten Commandments than the tariff
on steel trust products. Which shows
how adept is Foxy Grandpa in turning
things to his account and what good
work the various protected interests
have performed during the summer.
German VIII BE Senator.
As a result of the returns in Mary
land Arthur Poe Gorman will probably
be sent back to the United States SEN
ate. However, German has not crossed
all his bridges yet There are some DEM

are not favorable to German, though
they claim to be willing to vote for
some other Democrat. So there is like
