There is general expectancy that the changes
in appointments will not be large. This is
no doubt Occasioned not only by the removal
of the fve-year time limit, but by the fact

preachers salaries have all been paid in full
and the collections have exceeded the appOr
tionment. With this condition existing, Their
is no disposition either on the part of tn
people or the preachers to make a change.
There will be no changes among the presiC

Senator Hale told the newspaper
men on Thursday that he thought
Congress would adjourn about the
tenth of June, and as the Senator
from Maine is a member of both the
Committee on Appropriations and
of the Steering Committee he prob
ably knows. Such early adjourn
ment would mean, however, that
many important questions would
90 over until the short session.

when I asked him what were the
prospects of the bill in the Senate.
During the past week the House
has passed the rural free delivery |
bill. so amended that carriers shall !
be paid a salary not to exceed 5000
per wear, and the postoffice appro-
priation bill, after having amended
the latter to provide for the rural
delivery service. While these
measures have been considered on
the floor of the house tia interest
of the members has centered upon
the contest between the high pro-
tectionists and beet sugar men and
the leaders who favor the Ways and
Means bill. The problem is now
in the hands of a joint committee
composed of representatives of both
factions. 1t is probable the decis-
ion will be made public to-day and
will consist of the assent of the beet
sugar men to the Ways and Means
bill granting 20 per cent reduction
on a reciprocity basis for perioC
limited to September /, 1908, a
which time the European countries
will cease to pay bounties on bee

THE political situation in Della

licans winning everything i'll sight
next ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the
present factional difficulties, and
we confidently expect result OF
this character. The reason for this
may in part be summed up in a
review of the situation in the Dem
ocratic party of Delaware, whose
only issue is the election of Will
lard Salisbury and Richard R.
Kenney on one hand, and John
Biggs-the Democratic son-in-law
candidate of George v. Massey and
Pennsylvania railroad on the other.
1t is the old fight of 1888 renewed.

a Democrat, for the United States
Senate. The Every Evening OF
last Monday-which voices the bet
ter class of New Castle county
Democrats-is against the Sauls

warming of the folly of this aggre
CATION being forced on the Demo
cratic party of Delaware. II says
win Il be wise for the Democratic party i
the pending cam paign to make its main issu
the election of two designated men to I'll
United states Senate?
Or will it not be the better policy for IL
party to make its campaign upon the Wit
issues that now confront not only the Poop
of Delaware but the people ofthe entire cou
try. and make the selection of United stat
Senators a secondary consideration, to be
cided after the assembling of the Legislatu
that will be confronted with the duty of ele'
ing those Senators.
That if the Democratic party of Delawa
enters upon the coming political campai
with only the issue as to whether two des
mated men on the one side, or Mr.. Addic
and congenial colleague on the other si
shall be the senators from Delaware, the he
est voters Of the State will simply find the
selves "between the devil and the deep Sc
and may not be likely to care a jot which "
the election may go.
The suggestion is, therefore, cast before
Democratic voters of Delaware whether Il
will care to go into q campaign with the
sues thus defined or whether they will pre-
