A WISE ALrERNATIYE

The Washington Post, in an editorial
in defense of the present system OF
electing senators, remarks:
Il is true that. rarely. a State has
chosen to go unrepresented for a time
as a choice between two evils. Il pre-
fers to go for a time without represen-
tation rather than be improperly rep
resented. IL is an excellence of the
constitutional system that it has that
choice.
That is a significant paragraph for
Delawareans. There is a greater dis
honor than follows a refusal or a ne
glect to send senators to Washington.
Would not Maryland prefer a vacancy
to a seat occupied by a Wellington?
And is not Delaware better off-does
she not occupy a more honorable place
in the eyes Of the people-unrepresen
ed as she is. than she would with an
Addicks and another like him? We
are in favor of the election OF two SEN
ators. but if Addicks has this State by
the ears. and 1t remains a question OF
"Addicks or nobody" then in the
name of decency, let It continue to be
nobody.

NEW WSPAPER OPINION

"Consent Of the Governed" Theory
From Charlotte IN. CO Observer.
This talk about the consent Of the
governed is. when you get to the bot
tom of it, mostly rubbish. We people
OF the South. for instance, who have
for years been cheating niggers at
elections and kept il up until we con-
cluded that It was cheaper to disfran-
chise them by legal enactment, now
shed crocodile tears on account of the
woes Of the Filipinos and cry aloud
that all just government derives its
authority from the consent OF the gov
erned. Rot The South didn't con-
sent TO the government that it got for
several years after the Civil War. The
Southern niggers are not consenting
to the government they are getting
now We talk about the consent of
the governed and taxation without rep
resentation. whep these arguments run
our way; but weforget how often these
principles have been violated in our
own country today with our approba-
tion and as the result Of our own acts.

proved Emily Webb's Waterloo was
a strong, bright faced country woman
quick to think, prompt to act, and an
admirable bundle of courage and de-
termination.
The woman drove up Market street
and tied her horse to a post near the
office of Joseph j.. Carpenter, Jr. She
went into the office and transacted
some business. Coming out she dis
covered Emily Webb tampering with
the check rein on her horse.
What are YOU doing to my horse?"
asked tho country woman sharply
Il am removing this check rein" re-
piled Miss Webb
you let that check rein alone, -
said the first speaker.
Il want the horses head let down
and shall undheck him"
Indeed you will not. Take your
hands Off that horse instantly"
Miss Webb refused to take warning
and continued to try to uncheck the
animal.
This exasperated the country woman
beyond her endurance She sprang tc
the side of her carriage, grasped hel
whip and sailed in to make a scene.
Emily saw that she could not stand
against such determination so she
gave up the fight and marched away
with her head as high in tine air as
a horse with an Overdraw on.

TRUTH FROM 1.-THE rELEGnAH,

IL is sometimes difficult for those
who are in The midst of strenuous
conflict to view matters dispassionate-
iy. and at such times the opinion of
an impartial observer is of value. The
following editorial, then, from one of
the ablest and sanest evening papers
in the country is OF interest. The
Philadelphia Evening Telegraph in its
issue of yesterday says
The Gasman proposes Ito fight it ont
If 1t takes ten years longer" Addicks
first appeared on the scene in Della
ware in 1889. and since 1895 he has
been the "One cause" why the Republi-
cans Of the Diamond State have been
unable to secure the full representa-
ton In the Senate Of the United States
TO which their numbers entitle them.
AS unfaillngly as the flowers bloom in
the spring, the Gasman now submits
his regular vernal proposition for
harmony ON the basis of his recogni-
tion by the Regulars; and the latter,
quite as a matter OF course, decline to
make any sort Of a deal which involves
any recognition of his existence All
honor is due to the sturdy and true Re
publicans of Delaware for their firm
and persistent refusal to abandon their
position. They have the honor and in
terests of their party and their State
in their keeping, and both happily re-
main safe.
The article shows a knowledge OF
the exact situation, and a paper OF the
character OF the Telegraph cannot be
accused of partisan bias II shows
clearly the burden of responsibility
resting on the shoulders of the Regu-
lar Republicans. They are not simply
to play the political game, but as ouI
great contemporary says. "They have
the hOnor and interests of their party
and their State in their keeping" All
the great journals of the country, with
the exception of the Philadelphia In
Quirer, have encouraged the better ele-
ment Of our Republicans in their fight
for common decency. This is as II
should be, since no true Republican
wishes to see his party disgraced in {
single State.

AN UNwlsE PLAN

The plan to make our ex-Presidents
senator's lat large for life, is propo-
sition which should soon be disposed
of. in the fipst place it has not been
demonstrated that the Senate would
be improved by the addition, and the
new clement would be a rather un-
certain quantity. AT times there
might be several Of these complimen-
tary senators, zand at others, none.
At present there is but one living ex-
President. Grover Cleveland. We be-
lieve nothing could induce him to give
up the peace of honorable retirement
to re-enter public life, without the
honor and power Of his former high Of

THE AFTERMATH

Edward Addicks has been sued
There is nothing startling in that; in
fact il is rather common occur
renee. This time the plaintiff is the
nronrletor of a hotel In Rehoboth, and
il was at his house that a great Union
Republican pow-wow was to have been
held last fall The news was given out
nj the time that Mr.. Addicks had hired
a whole hotel. and II our memory Is
correct. he did not deny the rumors.
So the guests were asked to pack up
their things and leave. Some, It is said,
incontinently fed without urging when
they heard Of the approach Of Addicks
and his retalncrs. Then came the sad
news of the attack on President Nc
Kinley. and the engagement was called
off. In due time the bill was present
ed to Mr Addicks. but he repudlated
II. 1t was urged that his secretary had
made the arrangements as his agent
He repudiatcs such agency. He says
that each Addicksite was to pay his
own bill. Perhaps that is correct, since
there is a possibility that he intended
to inaugurate a new system OF letting
his followers pay for their own din
ners and buy their own cigars.
II is with regret that We chronicle
that what was intended as love-feast
should have ended in a lawsuit. But
it is better that the hotel proprietor
should suffer loss than that the great
statesman should submit to an impOsi-
tion. We can imagine that he would
willingly pay this small sum, only the
price of a few votes. but eternal princi-
pie stands in the way. This will make
an interesting case in court, and fortu-
nately. the plaintiff is not a Regular,
but an Addicksite. and the principal
attorney ifs a Democrat We presume,
however. there is no objection to the
Regulars occupying grandstand seats
while the contest in the arena proceeds.

When a man has been out late sew

go to sleep under almost any circum-
stances. There is a well-knOwn bust
ness man on the west side of the city
who. while in this condition, recently,
almost made another job for the under
taker. Being tired with his days labor
and having lost lots of sleep, he re-
tired to his den after supper to lounge
around and read the evening paper.
He turned up his reading lamp and laid
down on the couch. He had read hard
ly a dozen lines before he fell asleep.
His wife called upstairs to him to ask
him a question. After calling several
times and receiving no response she be
came alarmed. Rushing up to the den
she opened the door and was Mortified
to find the room dense with smoke.
She was sure that her husband was
dead and that the house was on fire.
Her first attempts at a scream were
a dismal failure. but she finally man
aged to make noise enough to awaken
her well-smoked and sleepy lord.

breath. with a dark brown taste in hi,

From the Boston Herald.
The Hartford Courant is rather hard
and a trife unjust in treating or the
women who are agitating for the suf-
frage Il says of them that they should
find consolation in rejecting that. III
they should get the suffrage ana nave
no further use for agitation they would
bo out OF what promises now to be a
life lob" But our Connecticut contem-
porary underestimates the resources
of these women. They would not end
their public career when the suffrage
was gained to them. They would be
only in its beginning Instead of harp
ing on one string then, they would be
in the position to play upon the harp
of a thousand strings which the en-
trance into politics would afford them.
1t is a queer assumption that after
womans suffrage was gained the
women concerned in it would quietly
settle down into domestic life. They
are not built that way.
