''WHEN two indistructable bodi es
collide, what happens?" Says the
Wilmington Sun.
"The Sussex Republican (?) says the
Union Republicans MUST accept Con-
gresham Ball as their congressional
candidate for the coming campaign.
That is a dictum from which there ap-
pears to be no escape. But suppose
the Union Republicans reply by say
lug that the regulars" MUST accept
Mr.. Addicks as there Senatorial can
dIdate, and agree to elect him and a
candidate of their choice, to the United
States Senate before DIR. Ball can be
nominated aud elected to Congress?
What happens?"
"EUeTy EUeni1'g, commenting upon
the ultimatum of the Susser RepubH-
cGn-what misnOmer that name is?-
concludes that it will afford an orpor-
tunity for the election of a Democrat
to Congress. Possibly. But E'Uerg
EUening does not know how exceed
ingly anxious DIR. Ball is for re ,elec-
tion; nor yet how absolutely essential
it is for the regulars" to have him re.
elected The whole party is in office
now. If Ball is not reelected some
one or more of them might lose his
place That would be fatal. Witness
the deathlike grip of ex-United States
Marshal Short upon the marshal's
Office. The loss of that office would
paralyze one side of the regular"
party, and Balls defeat as a congress
sional aspirant would be a stroke fatal
to the whole organization.
"When, under these conditions, if
it should Mapped, DIR. Ball meets the
Union Republican ultimatum, what
will happen?"

mot one person in ten who order
Spanish mackerel at the average res
taurant ever gets it," said a Washing
ton market fish dealer. Spanish mack
erel are a good deal like Mocha coffee
or canvasback duck, because. it's very
difficult to get the genuine article and
so easy to fool customers.
'Some of the fashionable restaurants
are not above serving a bonita now and
then when an order comes for Spanish
mackerel. and I know that in the
cheaper restaurants striped bass, boni-
tas, weakfish and sometimes even the
common mackerel are served for this
delicious dish."-New York Herald.

The House Thursday afternoon, by
vote of 252 to s, adopted the confer
ence report on the Isthmian Canal.
This result was foreshadowed when it
was announced that the conferees had
unanimously agreed on the Spooner
bill. In fact, from the passage of the
Spooner bill it has been apparent that
the House would by almost unanimous
vote accept that measure. 1t is the
first canal bill that has been in position
to become a law by the action of the
House, and it was that or nothing.
There is no doubt that large proper
tiOn of those who voted to adopt the
conference report at heart still favor
the Nicaraguan route, and hope that
some obstacle may arise to prevent the
acquisition of the Panama route and
compel the selection of the Nicaraguan
route.
In presenting the report, Mr.. Hep
burn, Chairman of the Commerce
Committee, said he had not changed
mis- mind as to the merits of the Mica
ragua route, and he found many radio
al objections to the Spooner Bill. It
proposed to buy property which was
not worth anything to the United
States, and created a commission of
seven men, at large salaries, with
power to employ an enormous staff
and involve the Government in a large
expenditure. He thought that the
House bill, which placed the control
of the work in the hands of one per-
son, was better calculated to concen-
trate responsibility and prevent the
hiding of scandals. The Nicaraguan
route, he urged, had had the benefit of
fifty years of study, and was the only
route which the average man thought
of when the matter of an isthmian
canal was mentioned.

FoR the shird time in 20 years, Ex-
Governor Robert E. Pattison, of Phila-

OF Pennsylvania Wednesday by the
Democratic state convention. George
w. Guthrie, Of Pittsburg, was the
unanimous choice Of the convention

clamatiOn for secretary Of internal af-

dav convention was ex-Congressman

mittee in Pattison's second campaign.

tion and made brief speech OF accep'

Water supply short.

To he patrons OF the La Junta
Water Works:
Owing to the scarcity Of water
in our city well and river, its nat
ural supply. the city council feel
duty bound to call the consumers
attention TO the fact that serious
problem OF supplying necessary
water now confIonts us, and for
that reason the council has determ-
Ined to ask the consumers TO modi-
fy the irrigation hours. All those
consumers living west OF the cen
ter line of Santa Fe avenue are
allowed to use water for irrigation
between the hours OF 6 O'Clock and
7 o'clock a. m, aud 8 o'clock and
7 O'Clock p. m. Those consumers
living east OF the center line Of
Santa Fe avenue are allowed to
use water for irrigation between
the hours of 7 o'clock and 8
O'Clock a. m, and 7 O'Clock and 8
O'Clock p. m. We have made ar
rangements with the electric light
plant whereby they will blow the
"Curfew" whistle upon changing
hours. 1t is hoped the patrons
will abide by this new rule until
our critical time has past. We
trust all patrons will also be as
careful and economical as possible
in the use of water for whatever
purpose, and in every way avoid
unnecessary waste.
