Secretary Shaw Addressed Republl-
cans at Worthwhile, VI.
Morrisville, VT, Aug. 20-Five thou
sand persons listened to Secretary OF
the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw who
was the principal speaker at a Re
publican rally here yesterday. Sec
rotary Shaw lived here when he was
a boy and went to school here. and
the residents of all the section round
about came to hear him. He spoke in
part as follows:
q have been quoted as opposed to
a revision of the tariff l have never
opposed readiustment of the tariff.
Whenever congress reaches the con-
clusion that the friends OF protection
are strong enough to conserYattvely
modify certain schedules, so as to
meet changed conditions and at the
same. time successfully resist the eff
forts OF the opposition to revise the
entire tariff law, thus paralyzing bust
ness for a season, l am in favor OF It.
have expressed some doubt, how
ever, about the wisdom of instructing
by resolutions or eXacting pledges
from candidates for congress, When
the effect is liable to precipitate
protracted debate with very uncertain
results"
The secretary appealed for the
election of a Republican to congress
Then, he said, let the Representatives
from all sections of the country &c
together, "and if they can agree upoI
one or a dozen items in the presen
tariff schedule that can be reduced
let it be done, and done without thre'
months acrimonious debate"

WASHINGTON NEWS.
washington. Aug. Is. 1902.


The proposed Cuban loan of
$35 900, 900 is still commanding
considerable attention from the Of
fcials at Washington. 1t has heen
indirectly the occasion of a re-
newal of the gossip i'll regard to an
extra session of Congress to be
called in November for the pur-
pose of ratifying a treaty with
Cuba and has caused no little anx-
iety in regard to Cuba's future
The State Department, in the alb
sence of Secretary Hay, referred the
news of the proposed loan to the
Treasury Department on the GROUND
that, being financial matter, i
came under the jurisdiction of tn,
Secretary of the Treasury. Sec
rotary Shaw, after giving the mat
ter some consideration, decided tina
he had no jurisdiction and returned
the papers to the State Depart
ment, and it is now held that tn
United States has no authority il
the matter pending the ratification
of treaty with Cuba which shai
make the provisions of the Plat
amendment binding on both par
ties.
tits regarded as extremely lik'el
that the President will call iii
Senate in extra session and tha
he will present for ratification
treaty which will confirm the Pr
visions of the Plat amendment an
. at the same time make the ta1i
concessions on Cuban import
which he advocated at the last ST.:
sion. On the other hand, Senate
Burrows has made it known tn;
he does not regard it as within tt
t power of the Senate to modify II
: existing tariff schedules withor
the concurrence of the House, al,

careful consideration of the Pres

THE proposition for harmony in
Sussex county made by the So
called Regulars" should be cor
rectly stated to the public, mas
much as two versions, each differ
ing in fact and intent, have ap-
peared concerning this matter. The
truth is that all propositions ad-
vanced for harmony were condi-
toned upon the acceptance of the
old State ticket. Furthermore, no
proposition advanced included an
acceptance of the Legislative ticket,
but allowed the Regulars" to have
full power and opportunity to knife
candidates for the Legislature
while Union Republicans were
electing insurgents to lucrative
Offices. OF course all propositions
so conditioned were rejected. In.
asmuch as L. Heisler Ball will moi
be renominated for Congress by
the Union Republicans under any
circumstances likely to transpire
all harmony propositions are nee
essariiy in everlasting allegiance
The fact of the matter is that the
position of the boilers is fast des
cending to the plane of the com
mon footpad, whose principle o
action is stand and deliver ?
They will take greedily Addicks
votes and Addicks' money to cleo
themselves to Office, and have tn
brazen impudence to talk abou
elevating the standard of politica
morality in Delaware, while max
ing 1t possible for Salisbury an
Kenney to represent this State il

ATLANTIC clTWs TIDAL WAVE
Caused Big Scare Among the Colored
Residents.

Atlantic City, Aug ia great
scare occurred in the colored resident
district of the town about noon yester-
day. Some one started the rumor that
a long black line, supposed to be the
tidal wave, could be seen approaching
the city far out at sea and extending
down the ocean. In an instant there
was something doing. The older resi-
dents, who still recall plantation days.
and who have never been weaned from
the superstition Of the southern colored
race, fell on their knees and prayers
and revival hymns were sent heaven
ward as only scared colored men can
pray and sing.
There were lots of people who wen
to the shore yesterday either to see {
real tidal wave or to show that they
were not afraid of one. According t
the figures announced the number o
excursionists that went to the shor'
yesterday was 1857. This is only Al
less than the record for the same da!
last year. So far 1900 more peopl
have been carried shoreward this sea
son than last.

AS there is hitch in building a
new school house for Milford
mainly over the site-the following
suggestion which appeared in the
News" recently may serve to di-
rect public thought to a place sat
isfactory in every way for the pur-
pose. 1t said
There are those in the Board who
favor land they are backed up by a
healthy outside sentiment) the secur-
ing of property adjacent to the North
Milford Academy building and the eX-
penditure of a few thausand dollars
upon the building itself, by which
means it could be transformed into a
most cOmmOdiOus structure and, at the
same time, be saved to the town for
school purposes. AS this property
stands now it has cost the taxpayers
$4,000 or $4,000 for Improvements made
in recent years, and it is really sub
stantial structure-toO good to be sac
rificed. Already members of the Board
have been investigating the last-named
project.
Adjoining property can be pur-
chased-if the present grounds are
not sufficient.
Aside from all this, the main fact
must be kept in mind; that the re
quirements of the Milford Public
Schools make it necessary to hav'
larger rooms for every department
and grade,and that it would not b.
economical to expend eight or tel
thousand dollars for a temporar,
accommodation, and be again com

can be given with the best result
at the most reasonable expense.

THE Regulars" last Tuesday
held their State Convention at
Dover and nominated their State
ticket, which is a denomination OF
CONGRESSMAN L. H. Ball, State
Treasurer Martin B. Burris, and
State Auditor Purnel B. Norman.
With the latter two, the Union Re-
publicans of Delaware have no
grievance-but DR.. Ball is a huge
mistake, if the Regulars" expect
him to be endorsed by the Union
Republican Convention. This par
ticular nomination-unless with

representing Delaware in the Ma
tional Congress. The people are
particularly bitter towards Con
gresham Ball, and it is the con
census of public opinion that, ever

him in making up one ticket, thu
people would cut his name by tn

cause his defeat. Martin B. Bur

was his political headquarters, while
Wendell FASTENED up the street. He
was already late for the meeting of the
Reform club, where he hoped a definite
plan of action would be taken in the
campaign against the rule of Boss
Dorsey.
On his way to the meeting Harry
Wendelrs thoughts reverted to the
ward leader from whom he had just
parted. McMannis was uneducated,
unprincipled in both public and per-
sonal life, q machine politician of the
worst type-and not bit ashamed of
the fact. Yet McMannis was the abso-
lutte ruler of the crowded Tenth Ward
and had a following who not only
voted as he directed. but were person.
ally warmly attached to him.
Somehow he seems to get in touch
with his people in way that we can't,
even when we are anxious to do them
good" thought the young lawyer
At the Reform Club several spirited
addresses were delivered, in which the
political corruption in the city, the
squandering of public money, the brib-
cry and intimidation rampant at pri-
maries and polls, were vividly detailed
Every speech closed with a eulogy on
American manhood, and an earnest eX-
hortation to the members of the club
to do all in their power to bring about
a better state of affairs. Each address
was warmly applauied. But to-day
they did not appeal strongly to Harry
Wendell Somehow it seemed to him
that there was little practical in what
had been said.
However corrupt local politics might
be, the fact must be faced that the or
ganization. led by Dorsey. was strong
we'll disciplined and could put up a
hard fight. And, while ii would be for
their own good. the big foreign ele-
ment and the poorer classes generally
did not care for reform. Again and
again the City Reform Club had led
campaigns against the machine, and
each time either had been defeated at
the polls, or, after what seemed vic
tory, found that Dorsey had again
worked his way back into power, aided
by The indifference OF the good citizens
