1t seems to be the general opinion in
Washington that the failure of the re-
publican legislature of Delaware to
elect two senators will result in restor-
ing that state to the democratic column.
Speaking of the failure a well known
business man of Wilmington who was
in Washington this week said: THE
people Of Delaware have become re-
signed. They have been for a consid-
cradle period of time with only one SEN
ator in congress and l suppose they
can get along for a while without any.
| think that Delaware has learned what
it has to expent from the republicans
and will be found in the democratic
column the next time it has an oppor-
tunlty."

Last week the editor of the DEMO
Graf called upon County Clerk DAN
iels with a request for the copy for the
bar docket for the April term of the
district court and was informed by him
that he had ordered the printing done
and that 1t was already done. This is
in defence of the order of the county
commissioners awarding this printing
to L. NJ. Rice of the VALENTINE DEMCs
GRAFT. 1t is understanding that the
county commissioners haye charge of
the county printing and if their orders
are not superior to that of the county
clerk, or cleIk of the district court,
then we are at fault. Mr.. Daniels has
no excuse whatever for refusing to
comply with the county commissioners
award, except as a matter of political
assistance of his party organ. In let
ting a contract for the printing the
commissioners required a bond for the
faithful erformance of duty and this
bond is supposed 10 be of sufficient I'M
portance to guarantee correct and
prompt work and which would relieve
the county clerk of all responsibility
should we fail in the per foamance of
our duty. But Mr.. Daniels is extreme
" partisan and has a desire to lun
things TO suit himself and makes the
bluff to people he d # 7 with..pollticaly

Borne by the winds on high.

GIGANTIC EUROPEAN TRUST,
Every Linen-SpinninS Concern on
Continent to Unite in Effort to
Raise Price of Yarn.

Information concerning the forma-
ton of what amounts to gigantic
trust embracing every linen-spinning
concern on the continent of Europe
has reached the state department in
a report from United States Consul
Mahin, at Reichenberg, Austria. For
some time, says the consul, it has
been understood that the Austrian,
German and Belgian spinners of linen
thread had decided to unite in a re-
duction of product. From Paris has
come the news that the French spin
ners also are to join in reducing the
output of the mills. The object is
believed to be to steady, and pos
sibly to enhance, the price of linen
yarn. Makers of linen cloth have,
during the fall and winter, suffered
from the high price of yarn, and this
enormous combination will make
conditions still worse, says the con-
sui

ENGLISH VIEW OF YACHT RACE
London Field Says British SpOrtsmen
Long Ago Admitted America Was
Too Many for Them

The London Field, commenting
upon the forthcoming races for the
America cup, says:
''The average British sportsman
long ago arrived at the conclusion
that our American cousins are one
too many for us at the yacht game
and most yachtsmen refuse to accept
the hardy ANIMALS offered as apollo
giles for successive defeats"
1t then proceeds to point out that
Shamrock 1. was an untried boat
and that her designer, Mr.. Fife, had
had no experience of the American
system of measurement, and her
builders, Messrs. Thorneycroft, no
experience of yacht-building.
''The chances of Shamrock H." it
says, ''are better, since Mr.. Watson
has had considerable designing ex.
perience, but the builders, the Den.
nys, are absolutely inexperienced in
yacht building"

GREWSOME RELICS.
Excavations in the Strand Law
Bare Part of Ancient London.
Graveyards Opened Up and Many His.
toric Remains Brought to Light
-WOrl>Inen Find Clay Pipes
Used Centuries Ago.

a curious stratum of ancient Lon
don has been unearthed during the
recent work of widening the Strand
around the churches of st. Clement
Danes and st. Mary lie Strand.
The graveyards have been surround
ed by high boardings for weeks past,
and throughout the daytime men have
been working at eXcavating old
graves. Many historic remains have
thus been brought to light, boxed
carefully and removed at night to
more appropriate resting ground.
The strictest secrecy has been
maintained regarding the identity of
the bodies thus eXhumed. Through
out the day not vestige of the &C
tivity is apparent inside the boarding,
and a tarpaulin is even stretched
across its open space to prevent in
quisitive spectators from surround
ing windows from seeing anything.
In addition to famous vaults opened,
the workmen recently came across
the burial ground OF victims of the
great London plague, huddled to-
gether in trenches.
Another grewsome find in connec-
ton with these trenches was a num-
Der of short clay pipes, which are
known to have been used by the grave
diggers, who regarded tobacco smoke
as certain protection against infec-
ton. These pipes are scarcely larger
than an ordinary cigarette holder.
Some, indeed, which have been
cleaned, are now actually in use
among friends of the excavators as
cigarette holders.
When the authorities discovered the
use made of the grewsome find every
effort was made to obtain possession
of the pipes presented to outsiders,
but it is more than probable not hall
were recovered.
