Nearly every citizen and taxpayer Of

Council to pass the necessary ordinances
that will give to Dover the promised free
delivery system and uniformed carriers,
which the Post Office Department offered
last week. The delay in Council was
aimed to sound the sentiment in regard
to the drop-letter argument or the pur-
pose of keeping people indoors. Besides
employment to three or four carriers,
the carrier system would save the citizens

This is due to the good results of the

five, and they will average about 500
fathoms of net per boat, which will mean
total of about twenty-six miles of net

In the Senate this week some exciting
scene occurred during the consideration
OF the Philippines bill which has not yet
been passed. The Democrats taking the
ground that the measure is a sanction of
imperialism are contesting it at every
point and delivering long harangues
which it is said they hope will stand as
q basis for the next campaign. So vio-
lent and unreasonable have been some Of
their protestatiens that Senator Foraker
recently felt called upon to inform Sena-
tor Tillman that if it were not for his
immunity as a United States Senator he
would be indictaSle under the law
against treason. As matter Of fact the
Democratic course Is open to the severest
condemnation. The insurgents are. ac-
cording to Judge Taft's testimony before
the Philippine Committee, little more
than brigands aud the Democrats are
pursuing systematic course Of encour-
agement Of an enemy in open revolt
against the authority Of this government.
Nothing more unpatrictic could be ims
agined than the course Of the Democratic
side OF the Senate at time when their
cheerful acqniescence would result in the
immediate end Of the strife and perhaps
save the lives of hundreds Of American
boys who are fighting in support Of the.r
country and their flag.

Campaigners Denied Transportation
by Hill and Mellen.

Special to The Journal.
Tacoma, Wash, Oct 6.-The republican
and democratic state committees have
suddenly found their campaign expenses
doubled by the refusal of the railroads to
extend the usual courtesies of free trans
portation for speakers throughout the
state.
The reason for the change is found in
the action of both state conventions at
Tacoma last month in declaring for an APP
pointive railroad commission which shall
have authority to regulate passenger and
freight rates. Presidents Hill and Mellen
especially desired that this plank should
not be embodied in the republican plat
form.
