A Fight to the Death
snssex Repnbllcan.

From the Sussex Republican.
There is a lull in affairs political
Just at present May is almost gone
and vet that convention which was to
have been held this month has not yet
materialized. Wonder what is the
reason? 1t was to have disposed of the
Regulars for all time to come, but for
lsome reason. unknown to us, this
much hcralded plan has been given up
and the political atmosphere is so still
that il lis almost deathlike. II is ap-
propriate This will be a fight TO death.
The Democrats will fight for life as
never before-their future depends
upon the result of this campaign. The
Addicksites will Sight in sheer despera-
ton. because they know Addieks' fate
depends upon the result. and the Regu-
lars will fight to prevent Addicls sue
cess with the same vigor as in the
past That the Addicksites are wor-
ried at the present is very apparent
There is an element Of the Union Re
publicans who want to win this cleo
tion and they propose to elect the Re
publican county and State ticket,
whether it is Addicks' plan or not.
Il IS important that the Republicans
should carry the State and county
tickets this fall and Addicks should
not be allowed to drag the Republican
party down to defeat just because he
cannot be elected United States sena-
tor He is not fit in any way to rep
resent this State and he never will.
There are enough Republicans in this
lState who are able and will prevent it.
What they have done the last ten
years. they can do again. Addicks may
buy every purchasable vote in the
state and he can control every cleo
tion officer but he cannot win. He
has bought all he can buy and his cleo
tion ohlcers can only assist him by
fraud. and this the courts Will see they
do not do. even If Governor HUM per-
mits himself to be deceived into ap-
pointing this class of election officers.
The campaign is bound TO be merry
one and the Regulars will be in it at
the death.

A Fnrn,sr prenicnment.

The cook in a southern family was
fat, black and sixty and a devoted
chwchwoman. A 'laboring brother
in the same church, a widower with
dozen children, was so assiduous in his
attentions that he could be seen haunt

tress of the house finally said to the
cook:
Il do hope you don't mean to marry
that old man, with all those children" ."

The editor OF the Wilmington Even-

generally and Of course the Regular
Republicans. for whose principles it is
an able advocate to rise above party
lines" in this campaign. The Journal
believes that the interests of the State
of Delaware demand heroic action on
the part of all citizens, that the blot
which degrades our political system
shall be removed. OF course the Jour
nal alludes TO Addicksism, and We
heartily agree with it. that the time is
ripe for heroic action.

Alone

She had not any word to say
There was no one who stood by her;
For one misstep I'm life's young day,
When love had seemed so good to
her,
SHE walked from all the world apart,
And kept her grief locked in her
heart
A cOmrade drear semed Memory;
So all alone walked she.
But sang the blackbird in the brake.
IL seemed his song was made for her;
And all along the calm blue lake
The lilies pure were laid for her
The honeysuckle in the dew
Around her door its fragrance threw.
The eve lamb by her side would lead
And white doves there would feed
L dream the Christ of Galilee
Who on the dread cross died for her
When near TO death her steps shall be
The gate will open wide for her,
That angel hands will draw her in.
And lock without the old-tlme sin.
And ON her brow again will press
Her lost youths happiness.

Two boys in a rural Scotch district
were one day discussing what sign it
was when the cuckoo is heard for the
first time ip the year. One Of. them
said it was b sign of getting married,
while the other said it was a sign that
you were going to be rich. A farmer,
overhearing them, said, "That cannot
be true. because have heard it many
times, and I am not married yet and
am certainly not rich"
Just then q local worthy, known as
daft jamie" was passing by, and the
farmer said. Jamie, can you tell us

Tbe ryranmy of Trivial Things.

The great emotional experiences Of
life are belittled by the same insist
ence upon the trivial. Life and love
look into each others eyes, man and
woman elect each other from all the
world. but the joyful solemnity Of
marriage is rufied by the details Of
the wedding, perhaps by family squab-
bles over flowers and gowns and invi-
tations. Or great death comes in at
the door, and the little human soul,
overwhelmed with grief, appalled, by
the sudden opening of eternity before
its eyes, yet fusses (there is no other
word for il over mourning" over the
width Of the hem Of the veil OF the
question Of Grape buttons or dull jet.
This may be shocking or mournful or
ludicrous, as one happens to look at IT,
but it is certainly uncivilized. - Har-

Protection Needed

From the Delaware Life.
Il hegins TO look as if some sort Of a
society would have to be organized to
protect our school teachers. The sylla-

things that are to confront the teachers

This is certainly high commendation
for Colonel Parker and a gentle hint

But even if Colonel Parker was the big

THE STRIKE MENACE

AS the miners strike progresses the
situation grows graver. So far there
has been no lawlessness, but disturb
ances are sure to come After a time
when THE men have spent all their
money and exhausted their credit, they
grow desperate. 1t cannot be many
weeks ere many feel the pinch of want
and starving families do not make COO
heads. Today many of the pumpmer
have remained away from the mines
this will doubtless result in great dam
age to the properties. unless theil
places are filled.
Meanwhile prices are steadily ad-
vancing. and, Judging from past expert
ences. when they are once raised there
they are apt to stay. not only tempo
rarily. but through a whole season. The
miners have staked their all and will
lose most. but it may be doubted
whether the owners, the operators and
carriers will be out a penny in the Ions
run. The public has the greatest in
terest, and the burden will be great
and widely distributed. Whatever the
merits of this controversy may be

Moslems always battle before they

At the same time their houses are
