IN DEFENSE OF
COLORED RACE.

The Rev. J Albert Sterratt Of this
! city addressed the recent convention
of educators in Sussex county. After
speaking upon the subject "Educa.
i ton and Politics. as practiced by
the five races OF men, the speaker
sad in part,
"Recently | have noticed consider
able criticism of the Republican par
ty by few cultured colOred voters
of Delaware. There might be a con-
siderable less desire to eight by the
| parties in question. were they to note
thefact that the i;epubllcnaism ofDcl-
aware. may not be truly representa-.
| tive Of pure Rcpublicanism which
stands for patriotism and good citi-
zcnShlp.
"it is not tar to blame the great
whole for the doings Of SO small
part, 10 a State made especially in-
significant BY not having senatorial
representation a. the nations capt
tai.
Candid thinking coored men are
not disposed to lay all the blame at
the door OF the dominant part OF the
Republican party in Delaware for
the treatment and present condition
OF the Delaware negro
But la,her consider his condition
IN many cases the result OF diS.union,
diSscnsIon. and lack of GOOD common

own race.
No one eau say that whenever The
negro comes to the party for some
thing in united, agreeable, or de.
cided way, that he has not gotten his
request, If it were possible to give it.
know that there is some unity in
the negro race especially among tho
intelligent ones. but even among
them there is none to spare.
But Colored men are not all alike,
nor do they all look alike, as is some
Times sung.
No candid farmer can now look at
his empty hcuncry after the lapse Of
dark night. and say his respectable
negro nclghbor is the cause simply
because a degenerate negro nclghbor
took them on former C&casiOn; that
has all passed away, Tue broad term
negro Can no longer be applied. All
kinds of adjectiyeS must nnwbe used
to limit or define the meaning condi-
tons, and changes in the race have

REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS
Some Of the Candidates Desire to Know
What is to be Done Concerning
The Common Primaries.
BALL TO REMAIN ON THE TICKET
Many Regulars Believe Unions
Will Accept Him.
DElGHTON FOR REGISTER IN CHANCERY

Republican candidates for various
positions have become good deal con-
oerned lately as to the suject of com
mon primaries. If there are to be
common primaries the candidates feel
that there would be some hope of elec-
tion, and they wish to know what is to
happen as to the primaries. Although
the movement was started some time
ago to have all the Republicans in this
county unite in primaries, the details
have not yet been, perfected. One story
that got abroad was that the Regulars
were shy about entering into common
primaries just yet because they pro-
posed to use them as club to force
the Addicksites to accept DIR. L.. Heisler
Ball as the Congressional nominee, but
Regulars say such is not the case,
and the probabilities are that the ar
rangements will be duly made and
carried out.
As to DR.. Ball and the Union Re-
publican howl against him, an observer
of political events said today that he
had noticed when the Union Republi-
cans howl great deal the effect is not
very great. and he would not be sur
prised if they finally accepted DIR. Ball
as their nominee. Anyhow, the Regu-
lars will probably take the chances on
his being accepted.
William L. Deighton has withdrawn
from the contest for the Republican
nomination for register of wills and
has decided to try for the nomination
for register in Chanoery and clerk of
the Orphans Court This leaves four
persons in the field fer the register
ship, namely Francis M. Walker,
Frederick Eden Bach, Howard G.. Ely
and William A. Hukill. Although
Bach was late coming into the field,
and for that reason some Republicans
feel that he might have left the fight
to others, yet the contest is believed to
lie between him and Walker with the
chances largely in favor of Bach.
For clerk of the Orphans Court and
register in Chancery the aspirants are
Walter Money, David Hutchison,
Richard Hodgson and William 7.
Deiphton.

ARRESTS AT LEWES.
Detective Ratiadge and Several Deputies
Deacnnded Hmm the Tnnn Sunday.

Detective Ratiadge and Several Deputies
Descended Upon the Town sunday.
Detective Ratledge, Constables Buck
ley and Jones and several deputies went
to Lewes Sunday and made number
of arrests for alleged violation of the
laws They left Wilmington on the
steamboat Republic for Cape May, N.
j.. and after their arrival there went
by boat to Eewes, reaching the town
at about 6 O'Clock.
Those arrested and the charges were
as follows: John Veasey, charged with
running gaming table; Edward
Neasey, charged with selling liquor on
Sunday and permitting gaming; Ira
Lynch, charged with having a slot
machines jeff Ford, charged with sell
ing liquor on Sunday and permitting
gaming; Lille Lawrence and Sadie
Martin, charged with keeping houses
of i'll fame and selling liquor without
a license; David NAPLES, charged with
permitting gambling. All of the ac-
oused were taken before Magistrate
Brewer and each waived hearing and
was held in bail for the Court of Gen !
eral Sessions Bail was furnished in
each case.
The arrests created much commotion
in the town, and what seemed like a
quiet Sunday during the day turned out
rather differently at night. The officers
were working on the raid until about
II o'clock. At one place they visited
about dozen men fled upon seeing
them. Many empty beer bottles, some
beer and whisky and several slot ma
chimes were captured.

MOB ASSAULTS POLICEMAN.

Hazleton, Pa, Aug. 25.-August Sheuch,
aged Sc years. special policeman in the
employ of the Lehieh Valley Coal Co., was
assaulted and stabbed on the outskirts of
this city today, while attempting to rescue
his son, William Sheuch, a non-union worker
employed at No. 40 colliery. from a mob of
about 5000 strikers, who had gathered from
all parts of the Hazleton region to frustrate
the plans of the company for partial re-
sumption of operations with non-union
force of $50 hands. majority of the non
union men were taken TO the workings in a
special train, with which the strikers did
not attempt to interfere. William Sheuch,
who lives in this city, walked from his home
toward the colliery, and thus fell into the
hands of the pickets. Most of the clothing
was torn from his back in the struggle
which followed. When Sheuch's father
rushed to his aid, the mob set upon the
elder Sheuch, who was finally rescued by a
mine foreman and removed to a hospital.
Sheuch was stabbed in the breast and ON
each hip, kicked in the abdomen and struck
on the head with stone. His injuries are
not very serious. The knife which was sunk
into his breast struck rib, and that fact
saved his life. The effort to prevent work
at the mine was successful.
The report of resumption at the Gran
berry colliery of A. Pardee & 90. caused
about 500 men to gather near that mine to-
day, but no attempt was made to start work.

CAPE MAY EXCITED.
Storm Caused Great waterspouts at Sea
Sunday.

} .
Cape May, N. j., Aug. 25. timid
who were superstitious enough to believe
that the tidal wave, which the Reverend
Jones'' predicted would come to this part
of the Atlantic coast, had their chance to
believe its arrival was not far off yesterday
morning. tts..lls
An unusual storm prevailed off Cape May
between IL aud - o'clock, during which a
peculiar phenomenon was observed. At the
height of the storm succession of water
spouts formed which were probably eight
miles at sea. There was double one in
the southwest and three single ones could
be seen directly to the east.
The water along the beach at Cape May
became very turbulent and caused all the
bathars to leave the oceans edge. The
waves were 80 high they were afraid to stay
in the surf.
The storm was accompanied by heavy
thunder, considerable downpour of rain
and circling winds.
Immense black clouds formed In the west
and these were met with another succession
of equally as dense clouds from the north
west. They met at sea, whore the remark
able sight of waterspout after waterspout
was shown by nature.
For few minutes small hurricane pre-
vailed over the eastern portion of Cape
May, coming from the north and, going to
sea. The confluence of the hurricane and
single waterspouts were seen. Immediately
thereafter the sky became very Ozark and
presented remarkable sight with the sun
shining over the town f,-oper and lighting
up the edges of the clouSs.
These strange manifestations were OBJ
served by hundreds of visitors, some of
whom were delighted at the novel spectacle,
while Others were almost panic stricken,
fearing that the peculiar storm might do
serious damage to the town.

In December, 1900, Reminger was shift

Congressman piayfuily struck him a light
blow with cane on the arm, injuring
nerve and putting the arm to- Sleep The
next day the numbness extended TO the
body, and soon Reminger was suffering
from general paralysis. The two men were
intimate friends, and Congressman Jack

Mr.. Reminger's condition, engaged the best
physicians obtainable. but they failed to re-
lieve the sufferer. Subsequently Mr.. REM

where specialists unsuccessfuily treated him.
Congressman jackson, 1t is asserted,
keenly feels the tragic result of his alleged

Mr.. Reminger was 80 years old, and leaves
a wife and several children.

Congressman jackson, when asked about
the matter, stated that he had no recollec-

said: II might have struck him slight
blow on the arm, but If did II was only in
a playful way, and there could not have
been any serious results from the blow. Mr..

A QUESTION OF LEADERSHIP.

Regular Republicans Looking About tor a
Chairman for State Central Committee.
The question of leadership for the next
two years is agitating the minds of some of
the Regular Republican workers. OF course,
it will be no trouble to get somebody TO tell
them what they should do at different times
but what is wanted especially now is a suita-
BILE person for chairman of the new State
Central Committee. which was elected at
the convention last week. II was pre-
dicted early on that day that the new COM
mittee would organize before leaving Dover
and that either Edmund Mitchell, Jr., who
presided over the convention, or State Sena-
tor Semuel M. Knox, both of this city.
would be elected chairman. but this did not
come to pass, and as yet the committee is
without permanent officers. Various per-
sons have been mentioned, but nothing
definite has been done looking toward perm
aneHt organization. @. p. Swain is the tenn
porary chairman and when the committee
is ready to organize he will call it together
for that purpose. Philip Q. Churchman
was chairman and Frank T.. Speakman Sec
retary of the old committee. AS yet, so far
as is known, no person is slated Tor either
position on the new committee.
UNION REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL
NOMINEE.
1t is written that what man soweth that
shall he also reap.
Ever since William Michael Byrne, the
talkatiye United States district attorney,
has been having himself interviewed as
favorable to the selection of two United
States Senators, even if one of them was
to be j. Edward Addicks, il has been a
question in the mind of some persons as to
the moving cause behind Mr.. Byrne's in
terest in the subject. And one day, not
long ago, when newspaper man asked Mr..
Byrne what position he was going to take,
meaning in the baseball game between the
lawyers and doctors, he made an answer
which indicated that his mind was on the
game of politics. Incidentally, the follow
ing extract from Addicks' local organ, bear
ing portion of the gasman's initials, ID.
Il. A., y ia interesting:
Notwithstanding the warnings given by
the Union Republicans, the bolters at
their convention on Tuesday, renominated
DIR. L. Heisler Ball for Congress. The
nomination is an empty honor for DIR. Ball.
Another man will be nominated for Con-
gress by the Union Republicans. Just who
does not now clearly appear. But power
ful sentiment is crystallizing into move
ment which is likely to result in the norni-
nation for Congressman of William Michael
Byrne. now United States district attorney
for Delaware
