CONFERENCE Is
PROGRESSING RAPIDLY
And HARMONIORSLY
CONTINUED From First Page).

several weeks past there had beCn whis-
perings that some contagious malady
eXisted, and within less than one week
before conference would have been as
assembled there, the State Board of
Health reported an epidemic Of small
pox in the town and laid an embargo
against the conference being held there
lat the present time. We all know the
remainder Of the story, and l want to
assure my brethren that the change,
though necessary, has occasioned keen
disappointment and imposed heavy
burdens upon the good people of Sea-
ford.
1t is just cause for rejoicing that we
come to the session with our min s.
terial ranks unbroken by death The
death angel has visited, however, three
or our parsonage homes. In August
last, the devoted and precious wife Of
our brother w. p. Taylor, was sum
moned from her home at Beckwith
Md, to her home in heaven. Brothers
20. 5. Walton and II. B. KelsO have
each been bereft of a darling infant
But two changes have occurred
among the pastors of the district since
the beginning of the year. In October
IC. N. Jones was released from Lepsic
to attend Drew Seminary, the remain
der of the year was served by Brother
Fred Mumford. At the request of Dr..
Martindale, Brother J. z. Gallagher
was released from Zoar circuit to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of Dr..
Waddell at MillsbOro on the Salisbury
district. w. n. Connoway, a local ell
der, successfully completed the year at
lZOar.
Profitable Children's Day services
have been held on all the charges. The
well sustained public interest in these
services would seem to establish the
wisdom that founded the plan aside
from the intellectual and financial
benefits that follow.
1t may be said OF the Sunday schools
that they are in a prosperous condi-
tion. / find that the church catechism
IS not emphasized in the instructions
in the average school to the degree
that its Importance demands.
Many churches seem to- think that
Winter weather makes it necessary to
close the schools for several months
IIhis is to be deplOred, for, with the
arch-foe to our spiritual and highest
Interests no change Of season is recOg-
nized. Observation has convinced me
that in the great majority of such
cases apathy on the part of the church
and indifference of parents to the best
welfare of their children explain why
they close. Be it said to the credit OF
lthe Sunday schools that they are
loyal to our own church publication.

POOR FINANCIERING

As no disposition on the part Of the
Board Of Water Commissioners to help
it extricate itself by applying water
funds to general uses.
Last week President of Council
Alexander. Chairman Kane, Of the FL
nance Committee. and City Treasurer
fiamann asked the Board Of Water
Commissioners, which has a balance
.of s1O4.776.55 in bank. for a loan. Yes
terday the board sent word to City
Council that it had given the request
careful attention and coxld not see its
way clear to grant it. Shortly there
after Chairman Kane stated that even
after City Council has received the
$50 600 from the loan authorized by the
Legislature, ii still will require s65,0 ,0O0
Of this amount 100000 will be borrow
ed from the First National Bank at
per cent
This is what the Democrats call A.
nanciering. One year ago they knew
that if they did not raise the tax rate
or practice strict economy there would
he large deficit at the end of the pres
emit fiscal year. They did neither, and
now they must go before the people
with the record OF having increased
the bonded and floating Indebtedness
Of the city, and with nothing to show
for Il.
Surely It is time that all voters, who
believe in conducting the affairs Of the
city along business lines, should stand
shoulder to shoulder in support Of a
ticket composed of men who will de-
vote the next two years to repairing
the wrongs inflicted upon the people
by the present Democratic administra-
ton.

Delaware and Nebraska


From Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
Chairman Hanna Is still talking
away on the Addicks business like a
house on FIRE In his very latest in
tervlew he reiterates the assci tioa
that he had not been, and is not now,
the partisan of any candidate, and he
deprecates the course of some OF the
in alleged misrepresenta-
tion OF him, because he had declined
to advocate one candidate as against
another" But that is the very thing
he did do. with the aggravation of ad-
vccatlng one particular candidate as
against all others. Mr.. Hanna further
declares that the fitness of the cGndi-
date to receive Republican support is a
point which should be left for decision
TO the Republicans of the State con-
cerned. That is the whole point in
between Mr.. Hanna and the
true Republicans of Delaware, and il
is because they insisted and acted upon
their right to decide that question that
they fell under his severe displeasure.
In this connection il is to be noted
that the Republican members OF the
Nebraska Legislature have at last set
| tied one of the senatorships IN pro-
tracted dispute, and at the worst Mr..
Bryan's redeemed State will be only
lpartially d'sfranchised in the Senate.
THE same result might have been
achieved in Delaware, even without
Idisposlng of Addicks' pretensions, il
that greedy senatorial asplrant had
mot persisted in forcinghis adhcrents tC
lvote for him for both vacancies. A.
far as we have observed, Mr.. Ham;
has net had a word to say in the wa!
ol condemnation Of this feature of tn

THE FUTURE OF ADDICKs

In another part Of our paper we
print an analytical article on the com
position OF the next Delaware Legis-
lature. It was prepared vita great
care for the Philadelphia Public
Ledger and is worthy OF serious con-
sidcration.
The analysis by legislative districts
gives the following result;
Democrats-Senate, 8; House Of
Representatives, %; total, 81.
dlcksltes-Senate, 8; House Of
Representatives. 8; total IA.
Republicans-Senate, 3; House Of
Representatives, A; total, 7.
In other words. the Democrats, ac-
cording to this analysis. will control
both branches, and have a majority of
ten in the joint session for the cleo
tion Of two United States senator's.
This possible condition was not un-
known TO Addicks and his senatorial
managers when they deadlocked the
Legislature against all Republicans
and Union Republicans and persisted
in carrying out the policy Of Addicks
OF nobody. True to their past record,
they deliberately designed to deliver
those two United States senatorships
to the Democrats two years hence
rather than have Addicks withdraw
and elect two Republicans TO represent
the State in the United States Senate.
Addicks cannot win two years hence
He win be something like thuteen
votes short Of the number necessary
to elect. He cannot win four years
hence, for he will be at least ten votes
short OF the number he will need. His
work from this time forward will be
10 elect Democrats and defeat Republi-
cans in order to obtain revenge for the
persistent and praiseworthy deter
minatlon OF the Republican party Of

leader. and never to disgrace Itself and
