Ann1rKs ANnKENNEY2

We print a story in another COLUMN
to the effect that the agents OF John
Edward Addicks ara already at work
endeavoring to form an alliance with
the Kemnoy Democrats, under which
Kenney and Addicks would be elected
TO the United States Senate This is
based upon no mere idle rumor, but
we have the names OF certain Demo-
Gratis who have been approached. The
headquarters of the conspiracy is i'm
Dover. and its chief actors are mem
bcrs and former members Of the Legis-
laturh.
Nothing could reveal more clearly
the desperate straights of the AddlclSs
cause Regular Republican support has
bocn despaired Of. and now an alliance
is sought with those Democrats who
are presumed TO care more for Kenney
than for their party.
There is no cause for apprehension;
we don't believe that MIR KINNEY would
countenance selling out the party
which has honored him, and we don't
believe that there is a Democrat who
will vote for Addicks under any cir
cumstanccs. To do so would be ample
evidence OF a sale. and the rank and
file Of the party is prepared for that
we are told that there ars no traitors
among the Democratic members, but
that all party men propose to keep a
close watch on them.

One-cent Postage

From the New York Tribune.
The revenues of the Postal Depart
ment are increasing SO rapidly that
predictions of one-cent stamps for let
ters are heard in many quarters. II
cannot be doubted that the halying OF
the present rate would be popular and
would bring about huge additions to
the total of letters sent through the
mails. Penny postage long ago was
hailed with jubilaion in Great Britain,
as 1t well might be The Engi
penny is worth about two Of our
Yankee cents, but so many things are
now sold in this country for a cent
apiece that the public welcome to let
ter stamps costing one cent each would
be general and emphatic. Postal cards

American Employers Of Labor, Pay
Too Much.
London. Nov. "a. - The American
plan Of paying good wages and en-.
couraging employees to increase the
daily output, which was introduced by
the manager Of the American Electri.
cal works at Manchester. has been
formally protested against by the en-
ployers' federation of that district.
The latter aver that the labor market
is being demoralized and their works
drained of their best men by the
American officials, who pay their Ia
borers IL cents an hour, against 8
cents paid by the British employers,
and get double the amount Of work &C.
complished. The Americans intend to
ignore the protest. They say the
British workman is capable enough,
but he Is demoralized by low wages
and the domineering of the English
foremen, against whom they have no
redress. The Bristish employers
blacklist the men their foremen dis
charge, and are attempting to prevent
the American concerns from employ
ing them. The Americans, however,
propose to stand aloof from the en-
ployers federation and carry on their
works In their own way.

Chicago Defeats Them by Score of
II to o.
Chicago, Nov. 20. Chicago out
played Wisconsin on Marshall field
yesterday before crowd of 5000 en-
thusiastic rooters and won by the
score of II to 0 in a hard-fought but
not brilliant game of football. The
Maroons settled a score of years
standing with Coach Phil Kings
Badgers and administered the third
defeat of the season to Wisconsin.
Chicago made only one touchdown
from which the goal was kicked.
Ellsworth scored the other five points
by a place kick from Wisconsins
sixteen-yard line. Honors were about
even until the second half, when
Driver made poor punt and Schnur,
taking advantage of the shifting posi-.
ton, broke through tackle and placed
the pigskin behind the goal posts after
a sixteen-yard run. Ellsworth kicked
goal. Ellsworth tried placement
kick for goal from Wisconsins twen-
ty-seven-yard line in the second half,
but failed. The rest Of the game was
routine work.
