REGULAR REPUBLICANS GET ALL
The NEW CASTLE COUNTY OFFICES
Contests Will Be rIade Against Robertson and Phillips
Being Declared Legislative NOminees-TO
Canvass Returns Wednesday

Democrats register their men and
make a strong fight, they have chance
Of controlling the Legislature on joint
ballot, and it appears under the most
favorable circumstances impossible for
Addicks to get the number necessary
to elect him to the Senate
OF course, each of the candidates
hopes to- win, and it probably would be
unfair at the present time TO tell the
probabilities of the result in the vari-
GUS districts, but from all the informa-
tion at hand, it appears that the sena-
torial delegation from New Castle.
counting the hold-over members, will
be as follows: Democrats, 2; Regular.
2; Union, 2; doubtful, /.
For Kent county the Senate has two
Democratic senators holding over, and
taking these into consideration, that
county will probably stand as follows:
Democrat, 8; Union, 2.
In Sussex there are two senators
holding over. one being Democrat
and the other Union, Counting these
the senatorial representation from that
county likely to stand: Union, 2; Demo.
crat, 8
Now adding the estimate Of the sew
eral counties there are: Democrat s;
Union, 6; Regular. 2; doubtful, /. And
therefore the Senate may be either Re-
publican or Democratic, depending ap-
parently on one doubtfu1 district
When it comes to the House, there
are many uncertainties, a number OF
districts in New Castle being very
close, and much depends on getting the
voters registered, also upon the
amount OF money that is used at the
election.
In this county 1t appears conserva-
tive estimate to give the Democrats, z;
Regulars, 4; Unions, 2; doubtful, 2.
In Kent, conservative estimates give
the Democrats, 5; Union, 5.
i In Sussex the same figures are hiven,
| In Sussex the asme figures are given,
namely, Democrats, 5; Unions, 8.
This would indicate for the House 16
Unions and Regulars and II Democrats,
leaving two districts in the doubtful
column.
Will Be Close
So it appears that the contest on
both the House and the Senate is like
ly to be very close, one party may con-
troll one body and the other the Other.
The Regulars will almost certainly
have six votes on joint ballot, and pos
slbly seven. This can be prevented
only by serious cutting by the Ad-
dicks men, which would elect Demo-
Gratis instead. From the foregoing es-
innate it will be seen that the Repub-
licans will have a strenuous fight to Sc
. cure majority, acting together, and
for the Addicks men to elect their
boss is utterly out of the question II
is almost certain that there will be an
immortal seven" and possibly an
immortal eight"

The first interest money on Mr.. Car

not be ready until Aug. 1, but 1t Is
likely that long before that time ex-
perts in various lines of scientific work
will be engaged in important research

Much curiosity has been expressed
regarding the way in which the insti-

eERaAKY's MODEST CLAIM.

THE LATEST ADVICES from Wash
ington indicate that Germany is
willing to arbitrate its claim with Ven
ezueIa, provided the South American
country pays in advance a trifle of over
1.OOO. goo bolivars (about S2OO.OOO), and
provided also that President Roosevelt
guarantee the payment of any award
he may determine against Venezuela.
1t would seem that the kaiser is suf-
fering from enlargement of the heart.
To ask the United States to furnish
the arbitrator and indorse VeneZuela's
note for the award may look like a
modest request on the other side of the
Atlantic, but nearer home it has the
appearance of stupendous presumption
If Germany has a legitimate claim
against the country of Castro. nobody
will object to the collection of that
claim in a legitimate way. Usage in
such cases was established some years
ago when England took possession Of
a Nicaraguan customs house and held
il until enough cash had been acquired
TO settle her debt. If Germany and
Great Britain had done the same thing
in Venezuela, the proceeding would
have been watched with some COM
plaisance, not to say approval, in the
United States. Instead Of following
precedent. however, the allies began
the overture with the destruction of
Venezuelan vessels and a staggering,
clustering attitude that does not ap-
peal 10 the American idea of interna-
tional etiquette.

AS TO cHIEE PAUL.

A n INQUIRING FRIEND asks why
"A The Herald criticises Chief Paul
and his administration of police affairs.
First and foremost, the inquiring friend
is advised that Chief Paul is one of the
incest old boys in this neck Of the
woods. He is just enough of a sport to
make a success of the livery and trans
fer business; he could trade horses
probably with Jew or a Scotchman,
and he can drive anything to harness
that goes on four legs and wears hair
More than that, he has Chesterfieldian
manners, Dundreary whiskers and an
Aeolian voice. At starting a horse race
he has few equals and no supeIiors,
and as a judge of bots he stands with
out a peer in these intermountain
states.
The Herald would not for a moment
tolerate any criticism of the chief in
his capacity as a citizen, but he is no
more qualified to be head of the
police force than a Sunday school
superintendent is as referee of a
finish fight. With a good staff of
patrolmen and subordinates, the
chief has failed absolutely to keep
the criminal element within bounds;
the low dives have been allowed to
foster and protect crime unchecked
and UNPUBLISHED; the hobo element
which is always a serious problem has
terrOrized citizens exposed to its preda-
tory habits, and the hold-ups who work
systematically in every quarter of the
town have shown a boldness indicative
Of their contempt for the citys police
administration.
Chief Paul is too good a liveryman to
let his business suffer by attention to
any other occupation, and he is too
poor a chief of police for the city to
suffer much longer from his inefficien-
cy. If he would only plead pressure
of other business and resign, he would
simplify an unpleasant duty for the
mayor; and if he will not resign, he
ought to get an invitation that would
facilitate his departure.

THREE BRAVE EDITORS.

ME DESIRE to remove our hat to
w the three editors of a Russian
newspaper, the Kertsch Courier, pub
lished in st. Petersburg. In the case Of
these gentlemen we find another exam
pie of the turning of the worm. From
various sources we learn that this trI-
umvirate has been bullied and beaten
and kicked and thrown around with
gay abandon painful to contemplate.
Every time the Courier published
something Tom. Dick or Harry didn't
like, then Tom, Dick or Harry would
promptly proceed to the Office and. kick
the editors around for the sake of exer-
else. If personal item didn't sound
exactly right, if an-initial was wrong
or a comma misplaced. the victim of
the outrage would batter the editors.
Why, things came to such a pass that
the Courier hardly dared to print the
weather reports.
But things are arranged differently
now. In a recent editorial the Courier
annoupced that, by the permission Of
the police department. the down-trod-
den editors had armed themselves with
American revOlvers of the bulldog
variety. Subscribers were warned that
the next time anybody came to the
Office to destroy furniture and disar-
range cuticle, he would be perforated
as rapidly as the bulldogs" aforesaid
could be made to work
Bully for those editors, say we. Their
courage is of more than ordinarily ad-
mirable pattern. In fact, we shudder
when we think what those bulldogs"
are liable to do to the men behind
them. Out here in the grand and glor1-
Gus west there is a saying which has
been handed down from generation to
| generation since the advent of the
