It is said that the third-rail system
will be used by the company which
proposes to build the trolley road from
Woodland Beach TO Milford by way Of
Dover This system is regarded as cx-
ceedingly dangerous to the puolic. In
stead Of an overhead wire a third rail
IS used. and the person who steps upon
that third rail and one Of the other
rails al the same time had better make
his peace with heaven before doing it,.
AS a general thing the third rail is

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Addlcks and Patronage

From the Georgetown Republican.
All this talk about Addicks disposing
Of the Federal patronage In this State
Is worthy of very little consideration.
Hanna has denied that he ever said
that Addicks would have the dispOsi-
tlOn, which can be taken for what it
is worth President Mckinley is the
dispenser but relies largely upon the
OF his Cabinet officers
in minor appointments.
For instance Postmaster-Genera
Charles Emory Smith, is not apt TO
consult the president about every
fourth class pOstOffice, and, in fact, he,
in these minor offices, depends upon his
fourth assistant, who wil undoubtedly
recognize the usual course OF recon-
mendati0n. viz: the congressman or
senators. In absence of the latter, the
Congressman will undoubtedly be rec
cogn.zed. and our present incumbent,
because OF his wide experience in poll
tics is well able TO dispose of these
matters In a manner satisfactory to all
concerned without regard to party diff.
ference.
The claim of Addicks' right to dis
pose OF the patronage because he is ma,
ltional committeeman has no founda
tio7 In fact. and the statement that
Colonel Dupont was selected for this
reason. Is certainly untrue. Colone
! DuPort was recognized because he wai
