How Adaighs Robbed the Republleans OF

How Addicks Robbed the Republicans Of
u Senator.
An evidence OF how the cohorts OF
Boss Addi9ks are worried by references
to his political troaohery Of 1895, when
be blocked the election Of Republi-,
can United States Senator aud created
n vacancy that two years later was
filed by the election Of o Democrat, is
the frantic effort Of their organs to
claim that the failure to elect Re
publican Senator at that time was due
entirely to the action of Acting Gov.
ernor Watson in participating in the
hnal joint session of the Legislature
and voting on the senatorial ballot.
But this excuse will not work. In the
yernacular, it is ''too thin. Had any
one of the four Republican members of
the Legislature whom Boss Addicks
held firmly 10 his clutches voted for
Col. dupont, the latter would have
been elected, Notwithstanding the
presence aud vote of Acting Governor
Watson at the joint session.
Furthermore, it is matter OF proof
that these four Addicks members OF
the Legislature OF 1895 held out to the
last at the direct dictation of Boss AID
dicks himself. Had it not been for
this, Acting Governor Watson proba
bly, would not have participated in
the joint session of the final day, not
withstanding that he had u legal and
constitutional right to participate in
every ballot that was taken. The -four
Republican members who we're stand
ing so blindly by Addicks signed an
agi cement not to desert Addicks on tina
last day of the legislative session.
The agreement they signed was to vote
for him to the end. And they did.
This Addicks compact, signed, sealed
and delivered, caused the defeat oil
Col. DUPONT, .and created the vacancy
that Democratic Legislature, two
years later. filled by the election of ,
Democrat. Here was political treachery
of the hasest sort. AddicKs could hav,
secured the election of Republican
Senator at the session of 1885, hut h,
would not, because he could not b,
| the Senator.
The Republican Legislature OF 100
cannot afford TO reward the base politi
cal treaehery of Addicks at the session
of 1895.

Government of Laws, Not Of Men.


The article on the great work OF
Chief Justice John Marshall, printed
on another page Of this issue, particu-
larry that portion referring to the de-
oIsion in the case Of Marbury vs..
Madison, shows how masterfully Mar
shall expounded and explained the
fundamental law Of the land. In that
decision he laid down the precept that
our government is one of laws, and not
Of men. er
1.-THE Constitution, he said, sis
either a superior paramount law, un-
chaugeable by ordinary means, or It is
on level with ordinary Legislative
acts, and like other acts, is alterahle
when the Legislature is pleased to
alter it." The soun5uess Of this de.
oision is shown by the fact that the
Constitution Of this country las lasted
for over century, with only few
amendments, the most important of
which are thoso relating to slavery.
And, notwithstanding some Of cur
statesmen would like to effect change,
there 10 every reason to adhere to the
opinion of the great chief Justice that
our Cover nment IS one Of laws and moi
Of men.

Referring to the senatorial situation
at Dover. the Philadelphia Ledger says.
"We trust that all talk about the Reg
ulars yielding to Addicks is idle
chatter. In 1895, when the Republic
cans had good working majority in
the State Legislature, Is votes were
cast for Colonel II. A. du Pont, the Re.
publican caucus nominee. Only one
more vote was needed to elect him and
fill the vacancy in the United States
Senate, but the four Addicks members
OF the Legislature refused to vote for
the Regular Republican candidate, and
prevented by their "dog in the mangsr
policy" the election of Republican
Senator. If these four men had the
imrudence to pursue this ruinous
policy for an unworthy cause cannot
there now be found seven men with
enough courage and patriotism to per.
sist in doing honorable service in a
good cause?" We believe these seven
men are in the Legislature, and will
vote against Addicks to the end.

CHINA AGREES TO ALL TERMS
Asked to Save Lives of Chao-
Shu-Chiao and Ying-Nien.
BUT THE REQUEST WAS REFUSED
Total Demands Upon China
Estimated at $4Oo,OOo,OOo.


Pekin, China, Feb. o.-Noon.-The
foreign ENJOYS this morning received an
unofficial communication from the Ohinefe
plenipotentiaries, offering to agree to all
the terms OF the Powers. The Chinese de-
sired, however, to save the lives of Chao-
Shu-Chiao and Ying-Nien but they were
informed that the ministers insisted upon
the former demands. A complete surrender
Is expected tomorrow.
Meanwhile extensive preparations are
being made for the expedition planned by
Count Won Waldersee. The Germans ave
purchased 1880 camels for transport pur-
poses. tt
A representative of the Associated Press
was informed by the foreign ministers. to-
day, that they think the gravity of the stu
alton ia over; but 1t Is expected that differ
ences will now arise among themselves,
when some of the governments send their
indemnity claims. and particularly IS there
uneasiness regarding the attitude of Ger
many that her claims must be- paid in cash
before the evacuation takes place. The
other ministers resent this, saying IT will
be impossible for China to pay, ms China
has not large reserve and the customs re-
ceipts go to pay dividends upon former
loans; and IL is improbable she could bor-
row sum of any magnitude.
United States Minister Co1ger estimates
the total demands upon China at $400,

The Four Additional Votes for Addiclss.
The gallery play of the Addicks
show at Dover, Tuesday, failed to
create the sensation its managers
hoped for. The net result was four
additional votes for Addioks for Sena-
tor, but 1t only served to develop his
real weakness and to prove how hope
less are bis chances OF ever receiving
enough Republican votes to elect him.
1t is true that, by some means or
other. he secured some outside news
paper advertising in reports to the
effect that he had broken into the
forces of the Regular Republicans aud
secured four of their votes, but the
truth of the matter is that he did
nothing of the kind. Only two of the
four had he,n classed us Regular Re-
publicaps, and it was never held that
they were of the GLASS Of Regulars who
propose to resist the election Of Ad-
dicks to the end.

of it's work today. In the most closely
contested game ever played on West
Point field the cadets tied Yale'ss strong
team by a score of to 5. DAILY was in
fine form. and was ably supported by
every man on the home team. The Yale
men say their men played poorly. There
was a great deal of fumbling and West
Point was the gamer. The cadets were
not on the defensive, but on the offensive
and the battle was mostly fought on
Yale's territory.
The first half was in Yale's favor, but
after a severe struggle the visitors sue
ceeded in making only one touchdown,
and this near the end of the first half.
x 1t was evident that West Points gen
eralship was superior to Yale's. The lat

soldiers had nerve and mettle. In the
second half the pigskin was in Yale terri
