p. Barnard was recommended Tor
the position 5y State Committeeman
]. Edward Addicks. Mr.. Houston
was recommended lor the honor by
Congressman L.. H. Ball. We have
only this to say in relation to the
appointment. that IT is very peca-
liar that no suitable applicant
could be found IN New Castle coun.
ty to acceptahly till the position.
Mr.. Houston il an uncom2romisng
Republican who has fought Tor two
United States Senators, favoring
ANYBODY except Mr.. Addlcks TO be
elected to fill one OF these positions.
We stand in the position where It
makes little difference to us per.
souaily whom the President APP
points to any OF tine Federal posi-
tons in this city or down the State.
The Union Republicans have given
out their ultimatum in case this ap-
pointment was given to Regular
Republican and that was there
would be run separate Republican
tickets at the coming elections in
this city aud throug ghout the county
and State. This means Republican
defeat. 1t means 4 Democratic
successor to Congressman Ball and
nearly every Republican aud State
official. There are more than two
factions in the Republican party
in this city and county. are we
positive OF. The appointment IS
notice to the Union Republicans
that they need expect nothing from
President Roosevelt or his admin
lstration.
AS far as ability goes Mr.. iIous.
ton will make a capable official and
be able 10 draw-hIs salary every
month. We for one are pleased 10
see that the President could find Il
Republican whom he could appoint
TO the position and did not require
year to make up his mind who
that man should be. Blu, from wha,
we know by coming personal con'
tact with the factoaists IN the Re-
publican party in Delaware, the
President will observe some OF the
results OF taking the bull by the
horns. Look out for fireworks.
CHEF Justice Charles b. Lore is
in favor oil putting the ballot in tie
hands of the women. lie Is Of the
opinion that they have more right
to vote than the hobocs and Italians;
that politics would be Tree from the
manipuiations which the followers
OF Adam still indulge IN, Let the
women vote by all means and then,
perhaps, there would be less bck-
erings and wransllng in Delaware
politics. The day OF emancipation
for the women is coming and we
hope when they have the right OF
suffrage, they will manags politics
better than they have been managed
in this STATE. and elect members OF
the Legislature who will send two
women TO the L, ;. Senate. If they
cannot find suitable men to send.
The manly woman is coming slow
~ but surely TO the front, and will
demand her right ballot.

CHEERS GREET
DUKE OF YORK
Heir Apparent to Throne
of Britain Reaches
England.

LONDON, Nov. 2.-The cheers that
greeted the Duke and Duchess of Corn
wall and York to-day as they passed on
their return from their tour of the world
were intermingled with the shrill cries of
the newsboys shouting:
Terrible disaster in South Africai"
Beneath the jubilation on the safe ar
rival of the heir apparent there existed a
Keen undercurrent of grief and anger over
the defeat of Colonel Benson's column. OF
the thousands who lined the route from
the Victoria station to Marlborough
House many were personally concerned in
the 236 British casualties incurred in this
latest reverse, and while the Duke and
Duchess were welcomed back with great
heartiness the crowds could not shut their
eyes to the mocking contrast between the
pageant and the serious news of the
morning. tt.
Barring the unfortunate coincidence the
ceremonies passed off excellently,
The King and his reunited family bade
farewell to Portsmouth to the strains of
the naval bands. All the ships in the har-
Dor were gayly dressed
The royal train arrived at the Victoria
station at 1856 p. m. Immense crowds at
once gathered there to welcome the roval
party. Brilliancy was given to the scene
by the gay uniforms of the Coldstream
Guards, who, with scores of policemen.
guarded the depot. All the way to Mar
boruogh House the route was well lined,
ana several parts were profusely deco
rated, colonial colors being particularly
noticeable, while the Stars and Stripes
and the Danish flag were also frequently
seen. There were 1000 troops on duty. A.
the Victoria station the colonial agents
presented an address to the Duke of Corn
wall and York, who replied in much the
same terms as he used earlier in the day
at Portsmouth, when he dilated on the
enjoyment he had derived from his trio
and his gladness at seeing his native land
again after his deeply interesting Jour
point ha hod haa
profoundly impressed by the universal
declaration of loyalty to the throne.
The agents general of the colonies also
presented an address to the King, who
handed them written reply, which was
as follows:
l thank you for your loyal and dutiful ad-
dress on the return of my beloved son and
daughter-in-law from their visit to the por-
lions of my realms Of which you are the rep
resentatives.
1t was not without natural anxiety and hesi-
The San Francisco call., 1901-11-03

the publication of all the dispatches has
now passed out of War Secretary Brod-
rick's hands and will shortly be dealt
with by the Cabinet. Lord Raglan, the
Under Secretary for War, pointed out TO
a Call representative that it would be
eminently unfair to publish this one dis
patch without publishing others which
are vital to an understanding of the one
on which the national controversy hinges
To publish the hundreds of messages now
on file in the War Office directly bearing
on the subject means revealing to the
public secrets not intended to be made
known and the implication of persons who
have so far escaped any odium
II is probable that the War Office will
take absolutely no action in the matter
until Parliament reassembles, when an
ofncial paper will be ready to answer the
request which is sure to be made. to have
these dispatches placed before the House
of Commons.
General Butler, so far, has not asked
tnat this be done, and the official view Of
the case is that he is not likely to take
any such step. The agitation in favor of
General Butler does not disturb the off,
cials OF Pail Mall and, with the excenfion
OF a few parliamentary passages at arms
they expect it will blow over as did the
retirement of General Colville.

tation that I sanctioned the departure of the
heir apparent to the throne a voyage which
involved many months of separation, but 1t
was my earnest desire to give effect to the
wishes of my late revered mother and to the
aspirations of my loyal subjects in the col
onies, of whose devotion and patriotism have
received such signal proof in the splendid
vice they have rendered to the empire in South
Africa, and 1 fully repaid by the COM
plete success which attended the visit and by
the manifestations of devotion and loyalty
which the presence of the Duke and Duchess
everywhere evoked.
The procession occupied less than half
an hour In traversing the short route.
The members of the royal families and
their suites were in open carriages. The
k1ng wore field marshal's uniform, the
Duke OF Cornwall and York wore the uni
form OF rear admiral and Prince Ed
