THE INAUGURAL HOLD UP.

1t may be that the Democrats have
reconsidered their action in attempting
to prevent an appropriation for the ex-
penses of the approaching gubernatorial
inauguration. We candidly hope that
thew have. 1t is not creditable to the
State to have such mean petty methods
of legislative procedure reported abroad.
Particularly it is not creditable to our
Democratic friends who have been such
persistent opponents of political and leg
islative jobbery, to indirectly offer
bride to the opposition for, or to IN
duce the abandonment of contest over
a disputed election return.
If we understand the reports of Tues
days legislative proceedings, the Demo
cratic proposition was that they would
not vote for the proposed inaugural ap-
preparation unless the contest for Scot
tons seat in the House was withdrawn.
That we understand was the purport of
Mr.. Monaghan's motion to corret the re-
cord in the Scotch case--in plain Eng
lish, We will allow you, the Republi-
cans, to have this money if you will per-
init Scotch to retain his seat in the
House. That is bribery proposition
money offer for winking at alleged fatal
defects in an election return involving a
members seat and party's vote in thu
Legislature.
In making this proposition the Demo
Gratis have made an undue show of thcil
faults and their fright. They have givei
public proof of their insincerity in theil
anti-bribery crusade, Of their fears abou
the condition of the ballots by which
Mr.. Learned alleges that he was electe,
to the Legislature. and also of their lacl
of Judgment in supposing that they coul'
by this means effect the impressivenes
of the inaugural ceremonies on Tuesda.
next. 1t is plain that the Democrat
will fail in both propositions will fail {
Brighten the Republicans out of test
ing Scutten's right to sit in the House
and also fail in any way seriously affect
ing the inauguration of Governor Hum
In their futile efforts to effect thes
things the Democrats are making les
islativr condition that is not conduciv
to the well being of the State--are st
at their old tricks Of winning election
and controlling the State by fraud.
The sun. (Wilmington, Del.) 1897-19??, 1901-01-10

o'clock in the afternoon, refusing to per-
init any one to vote. About that hour
the polls were opened, but the Demo
Gratis who had been notified to be pres
ent, were formed in line and led OF in
the voting with the Republicans in the
rear. After about an hour of this sort
of things the polls were again closed, re-
manned so for half an hour and then
opened and a performance similar to the
preceding one was again gone through
with.
On the face of the returns Senator Nc.
Nulty had majority. 1t could not well
be otherwise under the tactics resorted
to by his partizans. Mr.. Ross, the CON
testant has canvassed the district IN
question and will present something like
IT'S affidavits and statements from
voters, showing that had they been per-
mitted to vote they would have cast their
ballots for Ross. Delaware lies below
Mason and Dixon's line, and it is natu-
raj that it should adopt the methods OF
carrying elections in vogue in the South
With Republican control of the State
there will be an end of this. And Della
ware will be the better for 1t.

No Love for Insurgents.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Now let Martin and Finn 90 where
they belong over to the Democrats. They
have been dealing with the Democratic
leadership. They have engineered fus-
ion movement for the control of the
Legislature. They have acted as as
sistant Democrats throughout the State
campaign The cabal of boss politicians
formed for seizing upon Pennsylvania
consists Of Martin, Finn and Guffey.
Guftcy is to be the Democratic candi-
date for United States Senator. Let
his close friends, Martin and Finn sup
port him Let them vote for him and do
all in their power to elect him. They
would liz powerless of course, for Sen
ator Quay will be elected one week from
today, hut good faith on their part de-
mands their cordial support Of Guffey.
But then who has in recent years been
rash enough to accuse either Martin OF
Finn of keeping faith? Their best eff
forts have hren given in the direction OF
forcing men as dishonorable as them
selves to break their pledges.
But their efforts have been met and
overcome. Now let them 20 where they
belong; and if they hesitate let the
stalwart Republicans of the State driv,
them into full fellowship with the Demo
cratic party, 4 party which they have
been serving to the best of their abilities
They are no longer Republicans an'
should not be treated as such by Re
Ipublicans.

THE NEW CITY CHARTER.

We are unable to satisfactorily ac-
count for the long editorial Of the Morn
ing News entitled "Where We Are"
The subject discussed is the proposed
city charter, but what is our neighbours
opinion about that article we are unable
to discover as it appears to have adroitly
concealed its opinion. The burden of
its song appears to be a lament that
since the completion of the Board of
Trade Committees work there is no one
sufficiently interested in it to present
the document to the Legislature, and
urge its enactment into law. That ap.
pears to be a very simple matter. we
presume that the difficulty might be
overcome by sending a copy of the pro-
posed charter to the chairman and mem-
bers of the legislative committee on
municipal matters We have no doubt
that if the perusal of the document re-
shifted in favorable impression of its
merits, some one of the members of that
committee would, or could be induced tC
present it to the House. Then we pre-
sumo that the gentleman whose civil
spirit has been so manifest during thu
long labors of the committee would b'
equal to the demands of the occasion
they surely can afford to back their owl
production. We are surprised to learl
that there is lack of enthusiasm amon'
the projectors of this enterprise, jus
when it is supposed to have reached tn,
crisis of it's history. 1t has some goo'
qualities and we have no doubt it vii
prove a valuable document in the hand
of the legislative committee to whic'
will be submitted the various charte
bills which we understand are to be pre-
scented during the session. All the frui
of the Board of Trade Committee shoul
mot be lost some one ought to stand Il
legislative sponsor for it, and thus wi
the honor of being god father for tn

Singing to the Camel.

The Jehu who walops his horse to make
1t go when the poor beast is dead tired
might do well to take hint from the
Arabs Of the desert.
They use camels much as other folks
use trains or ships. In fact, the camel
mas often been called the ship of the
desert.
The animal has very queer temper.
which needs to be studied. When, there
fore, the Arabian driver wants his camel
to go faster, he doesn't begin to Leather"
It. He, finds it better to sing to it. and
the simple tunes cheer the jaded creature
30 much that 1t actually quickens its pace
at least one-fourth.
First one driver in the caravan sings
verse and then the others join in the
chorus. Some travellers have said thnt
tney have asked the drivers to sing, not
only to increase their progress. bnt also
because the melodies were so sweet and
simple that they were worth listening TO
on their own account.-Pearson's.

SQUEAKY SHOES.

Ihls matter may not seem 10 you J,

TO be fact that there are nowadays moi
nearlE SO many squcaky shoes worn oe
there were years ago. There used n h.

iittle late perhaps, and SO alone ana iii
the more conspicuous, man whose boots
squeiied so that the sound of them filed
al ~ church and the thoughts of every
Worslipcr besides. But he would move
noise,ssly now.
1lerc was time when people didn't
oDJect TO the squeaky shoes, when. in
fact, hey rather liked them. The squeak
proclaimed their degree Of newness for
the newest squeuked most, and peonlo
didn't object to your knowing that their
SHOES were not old and worn out, but new
shoes They used to put into some shoes
IN these days, between the inner and The
outer sole, a piece of what was called
squea; leather, to make the shoes suleoI,
the more, but commonly the sqleakinc
was caused simply by the chatting Of ono
sole igainst the other as the wearer
walktl. Some of these, though, were
might good squeakers.
Later there came time when
ssquealy shoes found less favor, when.
IN fact, there were many people who
preferred that their shoes should not
squeak. This sort Of middle period is
marked by the appearance in contcm-
poraneous prints of recipes'f for stopping
or preventing the squeakng of shoes.
One way suggested was to soak the soles
in water. This was said to be effective.
at least as long rs the shoes remained
damp. Another way was to drive tack
or two or n few pegs through the two
soles, so that they could not rub one
against the other, and from that, in due
course, we rose to the comparatively |
squeaklcss dignity Of the present day.
How this has been accomplished,
whether the squeaking is now specially
guarded against in some manner or
whether it has been largely eliminated
as one of the results of the vastly diff
ferent modern methods of manufacture,
Dr. what, do not know, but certain il
