KNOWLES AND HIS GRUDGE

Objection to the candidacy of Thomas
S. Lewis for the Republican nomina-
tion for assessor and collector of the
Northern district is made by Horace
Greeley Knowles on the ground that
he already has held the office long
enough, and should make way for an
other man. We already have set forth
at length THE onice-hunger Of Mr..
Knowles, and in passing simply wish
to say that it is little out of the usual
order for a man who never knows when
he has had enough himself to tell ether
men they have had enough.
Mr. Lewis is not the first man who
has asked fer denomination fer and re-
election tic a responsible office Major
Mitchell held the Office of collector
eight years. Edmund Moody held ii
six years. Eugene M. Sayers is not new
in the place. George d. Kelley is on his
second term as county comptroller
Many other men, both Republicans and
Democrats, have held public office in
this county from eight to ten years in
succession. Mr.. Knowles singles out
Mr. Lewis because he dislikes him per-
sonally and politically, and aspiros to
break down the leadership OF Mr.
Lewis in that section of 0he city and
assume 1t himself,
Mr.. Knowles is moved by no high or
worthy motive in attacking Mr. Lewis
His is n campaign of spite, which can
not fail to have a retroactive effect
net only upon Mr.. Knowles but also
upon more worthy men who have the
misfortune to be known as Knowles
candidates" In ether words, in this
campaign the support Of Mr. Knowles
is more Of a detriment to a oandi-
date than his opposition.
Mr.. Knowles knows that fcr two
years af-er a city tax collector leaves
the cfiice he has to devote almost his
entire time to collecting delinquent
taxes and clearing up his duplicate,
and that the work is unremunerative,
and must be done on ahe strength Of
the income from the Office during
actual incumbency. But he is careful
n,t to say anything about that lie
does net dare attack the record or offi-
cial integrity OF MIR. Lewis, for they
are unassailable. He merely cries out:
''He has had 1t long enough" and in
his heart he whispers: q owe him a
grudge fer the past, and now is my
chance 10 get event"
We wish to say that the Republican
voters win decide whether or not Mr.
Knowles is to use The Republican pri-
maries tomorrow to work out his old
grudge against Collector Lewis

NEW WsPAPER OPINION
Business Sentiment in Delaware on the Ad-
dicks Question

From the New York sun.
The Public Ledger Of Philadelphia. has
rendered a service 10 the administration
by making an impartial canvass of bust
ness sentiment in Delaware on the ques-
ton Of surrender to Addicks. Ii has inter-
viewed many Of the leading men repre-
sentng the great industrial, commercial
and financial concerns OF the state; and,
while Il finds some who prefer the election
even Of Addicks as one of two senators
to a continued vacancy in both seats. few
OF these advocates Of compromise are
willing 10 be mentioned publicly by name
as favoring that course.
On the other hand. the great majority of
business men in Delaware say outright
that they would rather let the two seats
remain unoccupiod until the end of the
world than have their State represented
In tile United States Senate by j. Edward
Addinks. The Public Ledger has gath.
ereG an Imposing mass OF evidence thai
the original opposition on moral ground.
/ 20 the election OF Addicks has not beer
heguiled or weakened by recent appeal,
from outside the State based on allege,

Sir. VIII you please correct the report

three miles in the country, not in town.

votes at the nomination election. There
are many candidates in the field and
ample room for wise selections The
Republicans need a strong ticket for

their seats rather than inflict upon the
state and themselves and their constit-
uents the disgrace Of the election Of
Addicks. Fifty extra sessions could be
called and held, and they never would
waver in their determination in that re-
speot. The election of Addicks is be.
yond the range Of possibility. If Gov
ernor Hum can induce Addicks to
Withdraw he viii be justified in call
ing an extra session. for it could and
would accomplish something; but while
Addicks remains in the field he may
as well save his proclamation blanks
for more practical and less disgrace
full purposes.
J. Edward Addicks cannot be elected
United States senator in regular ses-
sion. The worst that he can do is toI
block the election Of better and mere
deserving men. lie is doing it, and
Governor HUM is lending him and his
lieutonants his best aid to keep Della
ware from having representation in theI
United States Senate. His is an adj
minis,ration OF Addicksites, by Ad-
dicksites and for Addicksites. as isl
shown clearly by the record of his Of
fetal acts
So let him call an extra session ifI
he wants to. Let his proclamation con-
tain the false plea that the people of
Wilmington are crazy for charter leg
islation. lt doesn't matter much what
he does, or how and when he does it,
the result will be the same
Addicks cannot be elected, and he
will not withdraw
Hence there can be no election until
his members of the Legislature make
up their minds TO drop him and vote
for somebody else, a sensible, but most
course for them to pursue.
While this petition at present in cir
culati0n for an extra session has no
substantial backing, and is prompted
by a feeling of resentment against a
certain department, it ultimately may
reach the hands OF the governor who
may take IT seriously, in which event
he should know that there has been no
change Of sentiment favorable to the
election Of the gasman, and that it is
out of the question.

CHANG OPPOSES A LoLN

In the British House OF Commons

Lord Cranborne, said China has not ap-
rcoached the Powers I'm regard to a
general opening Of Manchuria. The
British government had not received
any communication from the Chinese
or American government respecting the
opening Of China to the trade Of the
world.
Public opinion among Chinese Off
cials differs as to the method to be om-
ployod in paying The indemnity. Ii
Hung Chang opposes a loan, and urges
the paying on Of tile demands within
five years.
The Boersen Courier asserts that al

1t is suggested, and the suggestion
seems eminently reasonable, that when
England gets through practlcing in
South African she will have the ablest
army in Europe; an army fit to be
compared with Grants in 1865. II is
the great drawback to the military art
that a nation can't learn it thoroughly
without practice, and that usually, as
the world is managed now by the time
any generation in any nation becomes
exceptionally proficient at fighting the
chance to use its skill passes, not to
return until its veterans are past the
fighting age. Nothing but a rare com
bination of circumstances can enable
any modern nation to recover the value
of the money and the lives it has in
vested in the making of an efficient
army. The most profit that England
can hope for from her 100000 sea.

Tides in Swiss Lakes.

Tides of the ocean, as every one

the sun, Notwithstanding the dictum
Of the man who would not believe the
moon had anything to do with It be-
cause he had seen tides when there
was no moon. Visitors to the lake
country may not be aware that our
small inland lakes have tides which
follow the moon with even more pre-
clsion than the open ocean. The
water in a lake "rocks" as though it
were solid mass, but slowly, the sur
fa-e changing its level as the meridian
of the lake alters its direction with re-
gard to the moon. 1t requires, how.
ever, minute observation to detect this
tide. So small is it that the difference

similar phenomena TO be easily per
ceptible, but DR., Forel, of Lausanne,

Domestic Ice N1achines.

Periodically the question is asked
why there is nothing available in the
shape of a small ice or refrigerating
machine for domestic use. That such
a machine is in wide demand and
would meet with a ready sale is gener-
ally admitted, so that to many it
seemed all the more curious, no doubt,
that commercial enterprise did not long
AGO undertake TO solve the problem.
The whole question. however, may be
answered by the statement that no
better method of refrigeration has yet
been found than the use of ammonia
or n similar system, which involves
the use OF certain pressures and a GER
tain number Of elements in the cycle,
such as compression, expansion and
condensation, regardless OF whether
the plant is to turn out a fraction of Il
,on or a hundred tons. The handling
Of the refricerating cycle and the safe
manipulation Of pressure requires
skill-in fact, a skill somewhat above
the average. and which cannot be e1-
pected from ordinary domestics. 1t,
therefore, seems that the facts as they
stand at present preclude the possibil-
ity of small domestic ice or refrigerat-
ing plants, and will so continue until
some system may be devised differing
widely from those now in use.-Cas-
