THE seven Republicans who re-
fused to vote for J. Edward Addicks
first, last and all the time, for u s.
Senator. on Saturday mailed to the
Union Republican members OF the
Legislature, :. a proposition to elect
two U. S. Senators. The proposition
is the same one made three weeks
ago and it is merely waste OF time
and words to repeat the offer. 1t
will never Deaccepted by the orher
wing of the party. 1t Is only by
compromise that two Republican U.
S. Senators can be elected. Any
other proposition is only wasting
time. as we'll as having a tendency
to split the party wider apart than
ever. The voters, those who don't
expect and those who don't wish to
hold office want two Republican L,
$. Senators elected. The party at
large wants them and needs them
in tEe Senate at Washington. One
man does not always speak for Il
thousand voters He may represent
Il hundred voters, who think just as
he does, but they are not the major
ity. We do not believe that by
tearing the party asunder, politics
will ever be made cleaner i'll Della

Of all evil and it has always played
a very important part III poIltlrS,
not only i'll Delaware, but all over
the country. The men who attempt
to run party organization without
money. will find it just as hard Il
proposition as they ever undertook
We never did believe i'll purchasing

going on in Delaware since there

tinue Just the same as ever. we
have been given to understand that
several thousand dollars would be
put into Delaware by men who are
net Republicans. to carry the next
election and thus save the fighting
Republicans the trouble of agreeing
upon two Republican L. S. Senators.
The attempt will be condemned in

music, we have never yet developed

OF interest to compare 1t with similar
question regarding women. We all
know with what enthusiastic, ever re-
liglous devotion women have loved
music in all ages, and particularly in
this age; one may almost say music
would have perished but for the active
sympathy Of women for the art and its
artists; and we all know, further,
what brilliant heights of excellence
have been attained by women as execu-
tive musicians, both in vocal and in
strumental kinds; yet no woman has
ever yet composed any great music

orlrIn of the Word eroa.t..

The origin of the word toast in
drinking health is interesting. The
drinks most in use in the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries were sack
canary, claret, sherry and others, 10
which IL was customary to add honey
sugar, ginger, cinnamon and other in
gradients; also a piece OF toast, which
foated on top of the liquor and was
supposed to give It an additional ia
vor. Later on. in the eighteenth CEN
tury, DR.. Johnson relates: "A GER
tain beau. being at Bath, pledged a
noted beauty in glass of water taken
from her bath; whereupon another
roysterer cried out he would have
nothing to do with the liquor, but
would have the toast-that is, the lady
herself" From this incident, II is
said, arose the habit of giving a lady's
name to preface or flavor the drinking
OF wine Hence a popular lady, whose
health was often drunk, became a
toast" or "a great toast" Later
the word has come to mean any senti-
ment which prefaces drink.-Chicago
