The uppermOst question everywhere
Except in the Legislature at Dover is
that of the United States Senator'S
when are they going to be elected?
Six years ago four of Mr.. Addick's
friends stuck to him to the last ballot,
and no Senator was elected because
acting Governor Watson, against his
better Judgment, participated in the
legislation though differing from all
his predecessors, making Mr.. DUPONT
fall short therefore of therequislte ma
iority. On the last day of this long
contest Mr.. Addicks went to Mr.. Hlg-
gins and offered to step aside and let
him be elected but Mr.. Higgins said
the offer had come too late-that he
had allied himself to Mr.. DUPONT and
could not now desert him. Thus there
was no election.
At the next session of the Legisla-
ture because of the ''steal' of Kent
county, to say nothing of Sussex, Mr.,
Kenney was sent to Washington for
four years to fill out the Senatorial
term. Two years ago the Republicans
again had majority but the Regulars
or DuPOntites allied themselves with
the Democrats in organizing the
House though the Union Republicans
constituted majority of the Republi-
can members. and though going there
with the full determination to elect a
Senator, if not Mr.. Addicks, then some
other member of the party, but this
act of the Regulars set their flint so
they determined to stick to Mr. Ad-
dicks to the end.
They overlooked the fact with unu-
sual magnanimity that the sO-called
Regulars had by putting another tic
ket in the field, given the Democrats
the Governor for four years, the Con-
gressman and majority of the State
offices, and scared, by peculiar sys-
tenn of representation, after the Repub-
licans had regained the State, nearly
all the Federal plums, without regard
to the name or character of petitioners.
Now five or six of them seem ambitious
to put themselves in the place OF
the four men whose act has been de-
plOred by the mass of the party by
sticking to Mr.. DUPONT TO the last,
though it means no Senators for Con-
gress in the next two years.
They were not appeased by pulling
off name after name on the State tic
ket to make them satisfied, and haC
their candidate elected by Uni on Re
publican votes, though in spite of this
kind act they ran separate tickets in
Kent and Sussex counties to defea
Mr.. Addicks to whom the two love-
counties feel especially grateful fo
helping them to throw off the yoke o
the assessors, collectors and Lev,
Courts, who deprived them sy stemat
ically of the right of franchise. Thei
hatred of Mr.. Addicks seems to out
weigh their own regard for consistenc,
or the reputation the State sustains

until they have felt ss IL the summer

az work is concerned, declares the Cri.
terion. For. verify. few shall be chosen

Hanger Of Arkansas, whom everybody
knows for q bright and level.headed

dent OF the Arkansas federation. says
good thing which every club woman
might we'll read. mark. learn and in
wardly digest.
Says Mrs. Hanger: The summer
would be q good time for the unofficial
and uncommitted club member who has
nothing to do in vacation club work, to
cultivate q club conscience, not one with
still small voice like some would-be
singers, but knocking, humping con-
science that will protest loudly and re-
bel stoutly when the member is inclined
to back out of club obligations and Oh
club programs. What is wanted is q
conscience that will fail to exsggerAte q
do-less disposition into physical indis-
position and every ailment that flesh lie
heir to when it falls to the lot OF mem.

cannot make summer; no more can

The members have mental. moral and

places caused innovations. and last win.
Ter the conditions became desperate,
declares q correspondent Of the St Louis
Republic. Gambling games existed
openly with stakes from nickel up.
This aroused the ladies OF the COM
munity and the better residents organ
lied to help the boys and girls OF this
settlement. THE Sunshine" was the
name adopted. and the agitation COM
menced. One Of the saloon men was
member OF local labor union, and the
sentiment against him caused his union
to expel him. Through the efforts OF
the ladies he was fined heavily, and
Mayor Frazier revoked his license. The
saloon soon opened again. but the con-
ditions we're better.
By csnvassing the city these ladies
secured enough money to buy an old
brick residence, and fit it up for club
house. The furniture was donated. 1t
now stands in Southtown as one of the
model houses. There is q reading room,
a sewing room. for girls have been in
cluded in this work; and gymnasium.
1t will be kept open all winter. and
children will be urged to spend their
evenings there. Everything will be
clean. pleasant and warm. Games will
be urged upon the lads. and the girls
will have afternoon classes in sewing
and cooking. The youngsters are to
have what they want and when they
want it.
The property is now estimated to be
worth 81 600. Much OF this money was
raised by subscription and the rest by
festivals and by society circus at the
Pittenger opera house. In this circus
the ladies took part under the direction
Of Miss Marian Lyons. Chicago univer-
sity student. who lives near Southtown.
Mrs. Sara Webster lie president of the
club and has worked hard in behalf Of
the organization. Mrs. Charles Hart

astic worker. Miss Lola Scott Is secre-

ager went down before him to make
the necessary arrangements, and the
king, then Prince Of Wales, explain
ed that he wished the performance
to be kept secret in order that the
princess might be surprised. 'ETo

apparent, Il shall introduce you as

ssIf Mr.. Sage said it il all sfpoppy-
Icocko whatever that term may mean
in the language which he uses) that he
Twill not undertake to evictthe settlers,
why the very record of the cases re-
| ferred to proves him unnecessarily un-
truthful because every one of the cases
| is case for eyiction-a case in which
he is seeking to do exactly what he is
made to say in the alleged interview
he will not undertake to do.
'Touching the sincerity and cander
of the statement that the settlers are
stsquatters only ';-that they have ''no
rights at all'-why, if Mr.. Sage said
cause he obviously knows that the
Honorable Secretary of the Interior
long since decided that David Crowly,
Sr., is lawfully entitled to a patent
from the United States Government
of the farm on which he resides. The
Honorable Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office had previously so de-
cided, and has decided that Thomas
Crowley and David Crowley, Jr., are
likewise entitled to their farms, and
their cases in the Land Department
are now the before the Secretary of the
Interior and so are the cases of most
all of the other numerous defendants.
1 should moreover say that quite a
while ago the Attorney General of the
United States, am, as believe, reli-
ably informed, instructed the United
States District Attorney at st. Paul,
Minnesota, to begin a suitable action
in the name of the United States to
have the very title which Mr.. Sage is
made to say is now assured to him by
the Supreme Court of Minnesota, de-
clared null and void declared to have
been fraudulently obtained; and such
action und oubtedly will be, if 1T has
not already been, commenced. I, dis
like very much to discuss these mat
tiers through the medium of a news
paper, buff should not say these
things, your publication of the forego-
ing syllabus of the Supreme Court
and the alleged interview of Mr.. Sage
would needlessly alarm our clients. "

Embarrassing.

THE experience which 9 certain
young lady had in London on the
day Of Queen Victoria's funeral will
serve as an excellent warning for
those women who are inclined to al
low their humanitarian impulses to
get the better of them. This sym
pathetic lady relieved woman who
appeared to be in fainting state of
her baby and had it left upon her
hands by the disappearance Of the
mother. After waiting in vain for
the mother to return the embarrass-
ed young woman told her story to
a policeman on the outskirts of the
crowd. 81 have heard that story
before he grinned in knowing
way and refused to believe her. "A
visit to the police station brought.
the same result-an utter disbelief
of the unfortunate young woman's
story. The workhouse was tried.
but with no better fortune. 1t was
six weeks before the shopgirl was
able to get rid of the child which
had come to her in so strange d
way, and it entailed the very great
est trouble on her friends before
they could induce the parochial rau-
thorities to accept the true version
of the case.-Argonaut.

The late William M. Evarts forg-

successfully as he did the weightier
weapons Of analytical argument and

York Mail and Express. In his
prime no public dinner was regarded
as complete without him. Where he
sat was the, head of the. table. It
would take a stable volume to hold
all the good things which fell from
Mr.. Evarts' lips or were credited to

Followed INSTRUCTIONS.

In a drug store not many hundred
yards from the capitol is employed
a clerk who has been just three
weeks learning how. to mix soda in
anticipation Of the summer rush of
business in that particular line. He
is an apt student Of things pertain
ing to the drug business, and, ac-
cording to his employer, he does
just as he is told. His employer told
him when he came to work that if
anybody ever asked for anything
that he didn't keep he was to say,
''We're just out of -, but we
have something just as good" The
young man caught on exactly. The
other afternoon young woman en-

Merriam's Clever Ruse,

Census Director Merriam has re-
Gently employed the most successful
scheme for ascertaining who are
really the good clerks in any branch
of the goernment service. The
duty deVolved upon him of getting
rid Of some Of his superfuous
clerks. The usual way for ascer-
tanning the ones to be dismissed is
to ask the plain question. But Mer-
RAM did it the other way. He asked
which Of the clerks each division
chief wished to keep. Each chief,
with an eye single to having his
work well done, made out a straight
list. No droners were included in
it. The chiefs thought they would
be allowed to retain these clerks.
Instead of that the director ordered
the transfer of these good clerks to
divisions in which there are to be
no dismissals at present. Now the
chiefs who were caught by the trick
are wondering how they are to fin
ish the work they have on hand with
the inferior clerks that are left

To Have. Cement Walks.

In Benson, the village council has
decided to encourage the building OF
cement walks by offering rebate for
the same. One damage suit, such as
the one at Renville, would build q
number of blocks of cement walk.
There may be some question as to
the advisability of compelling people
to build cement walks. At least,
Benson is hardly ready to take the
step now. But if the people desire
to use cement they are encouraged to
doso by the action that the village
council has taken.-Benson Monitor.
