bIe What the "Sentinel" contends
for is that the "Bolters" do not want
harmony. They want the use Of the
Union Republican vote to elect their
ticket. When that is done they have
no further use for them until the next
election comes around, when the same
old game is played over again. The
most abject object in all creation is the
fool-body who can't learn-whO is at
once the tool and sport Of sound-sensed
men. Let us think soberly Of these
things and determine how long this
stateof affairs should continue.

cHINAMAN ACCUSED OF MURDER
Body of six-Yearold Girl Found In
Pond Near Buffalo.

Body Of six-Year-old Girl Found In
Pond Near Buffalo.
Buffalo, N. Y, July 2.-Charley Wee,
a Chinese laundryman, was arrested
yesterday and held on an open charge
in connection with the murder Of Mary
Murphy, 6-year-Old girl, who
mysteriously disappeared on June o.
and whose body bound with ropes
and wrapped in newspapers and coarse
cotton cloth, was found floating in a
small pond in Forest Lawn Cemetery.
The autopsy showed that the child
had been outraged and strangled. Pub.
lie feeling runs high, and all the
Chinese laundries in the city have
been closed and policemen stationed in
front of them. Wees place was thor
Oughly searched, and the police say
they found ample evidence on which
to hold the Chinaman. Pieces of rope
similar to that on the body were found
in the shop. In a room used by Wee
as a bed chamber the police found
blood-stained bed clothing. The wall
behind the bed was despatched with
blood.
A second Chinaman who was visit
ing Wee at the time the arrest was
made was also taken into custody.

THE point of view often is the
source for an argument, and the
Regulars" of New Castle county
can see no reason why common pri-
maries should not be entered into
for their county, while their asso-
ciates in Kent and Sussex insist
upon a separate ticket. Personal
interest enters the contention to
such a great extent, that the great
result to the Republican party from
a common primary is lost sight of:
On this subject the Estate Senti-
mel last week said:
What advantage will one Republi-
can ticket in New Castle County only
bring to the Republican party Of the
State Why should the next Legisla-
ture be Republican if the members do
not act together? Why unite at the
primaries to diviede into hostile camps
afterward? Why agree upon men at a
common primary like Knox and Pill
ing and Finn and send them to the
Legislature, when men like McNultv.
Monaghan and Holcomb are less hostile
and bitter in every way? Why parade
a desire for harmony and one ticket
before election to fight with bitter
acTimOny afterward Why place the
responsibility of legislation and the
election of Senators upon the party
and send men to the representative
chamber who will refuse to do it? WHY
ask the Union Republican voters Of
New Castle County to agree to a COM
mon primary in order that more Re
publican members may be sent to the
Legislature from that county, while
every effort will be made by these ad-
vocates to defeat every possible Union
Republican in Kent land Sussex ?
What difference after all to the Union
Republican party or to John Edward
Addieks whether Willard Salisbury
and Richard Kenney fill the Senate
rial seats OF whether they are filled by
empty space? 1t is plain why the
Boilers OfNew Castle take this illogical
attitude
They laugh and chuckle at the one
sided game of giving nothing, and tax
ing all. If no county officers were to
be nominated and no control of city or
county administration depended upon
the issue, it would be at once seen that
q common primary was not 50 desira-

l Would Not Call Her Back.

She's sleeping so sweetly,
Her fever's all past;
In Jesus completely
She's resting at last.
She suffers no longer
From pain nor from grief;
We hoped she'd get stronger,
But death gave relief
Dear mother we miss you,
But know you are blest-
We would not recall you
From Jesus and rest.
But while you are praising,
We weep for you here;
And soon will be praying
To meet you up there.
For Jesus will save us,
lfHim we will own;
And give Him the praises
That to Him do belong.
Dear Jesus, to love you,
How can we refrain?
For true life is in you
And all things that's gain.

INVENTED NEW LIGHTING GAS
Discoverer Claims He Makes 1t From

Cleveland, o., June SO.-A gas that
is cheaper than any other now in use,
and which gives off a light exceeded
in brilliancy only by electricity, is
what Henry Soeder, of this city, claims
to have discovered. Soeder is now US
ing it to light his store and do the
family cooking. He claims that he
makes the gas from the air.
Soeder has been working for years
to perfect the invention, and he has
been a thorough student of chemistry.
A company has been formed to manu-.
facture the gas. The gas, it is claim
ed, can be made without trouble by a
person of no experience, and can be
safely piped through the house.

TzEO. TOW NSENDs
EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

THE Board of Pardons last Tues
day had petition signed by about |
twelve hundred people and fifty |
personal letters-including thejury |
praying for the pardon of the
men convicted of assault and bat
terry in the fox hunting case" of
this district. Their attorney in
supplementing the presentation Of
papers very forcibly set forth the
fact that all had been accomplished
that a conviction and punishment
by Imprisonment could be gained
for the majesty of the law. The
men have over their own signatures
to the victim of their passionate
outbreak, confessed their wrong and
made apology for their brutal as
sault; all the good to the law-abid
ing public that is possible has been
accomplished, and for the sake of
the aged mother, the wives and the
children affected, mercy at the
hands of the Board of Pardons,
would do much to smooth over the
heart -burnings in Milford Neck.
The court that sentenced these men
could not act otherwise than it did.
The law does not contemplate sea
sons, or the hardships its victim
must suffer by being deprived of
their liberty; it must follow fixed
channels for certain offences.
The Board of Pardons has greater
latitude in its action and matters to
be taken under consideration. The
Constitution provided this Board
for an especial purpose-and that
to review causes that proceeded,
and results obtained by conviction.
Where the ends of justice have
been fully met, and no harm can
follow a pardon, then the Board
certainly has the power and should
exercies that power on the side OF
mercy.
Unfortunately yellow journalism
was permitted to inject itself into
this matter few weeks ago, and
the attempt was made to create de-
mocratic party advantage and re-
publican discord in regard to a
pardon for these men but it failed
and we believe that that attempt
was one of the main reasons for the
Board of Pardons not taking &C
ton. The Board is composed O
Chancellor Nicholas Democrat
State Treasurer M. B. Burris-s
Regular" State Auditor P. B
Norman Regular" Lieutenant
Governor Cannon-who is claimed
by both Republican factions, anC
the Secretary of State Caleb R
Layton--about whose Union Re
pubiicanism there never has beer
any question.
With men of these various nolit
ical affiliations, the effort made t.
bring Republicans into disreput,
and claim honor for any party O
faction, was a crazy scheme con
cocted by those who should hav
known better and those who hav
always pulled down and never bull
up anything they have undertaken
We firmly believe that these me-
should be pardoned-because tn
ends of justice have been accom-
plished and no further good CA
come of their Imprisonment. The
are needed at home, and the count
can gain nothing by maintaining
them in Jail. Pardon them-bu
for the love of those near and dea
to them, keep their pardon free fror
the faint of politics.

MRS. SOFFEL SERIOUSLY ILL
Has a Well-Developed Case Of
PIeurisy-Can't Be Moved
For Awhile.

Butler, Pa, Feb. 10.-Mrs. Soffel
will not be in condition to be re-
moved from the hospital for at least
10 days to come, and it may be !.
greater length of time. Since Satur-
day night there has been change,
and the woman now has a well devel-
oped case of pleurisy, the left cavity
of the chest being the worst affected.
At 8 o'clock last night her tempera-
ture was 10S, pulse 112 and respira-
ton "a.
Although she was seriously i'll, Mrs.
Soffel was cheerful and her mental
condition was about the same as Sal
urday. She saw no visitors and
talked to no one Sunday outside of
her attendants and physicians. The
physicians said last night that he;
condition was not alarming, but that
under the most favorable conditions
it would be 10 days before the disease
will have run its course.

FORECAST OF THE HOUSE.
War Tax Repeal Bill to Be Held Over
Until Next Week.

Washington, Feb. 10.-A varied pro-
gram confronts the house for the com
ing week. Owing to the absence of a
large number of Republicans, who
will go to different points of the coun-
try to participate in the celebration
of LincolnS birthday on Wednesday,
consideration on the bill to repeal the
war taxes will be postponed until next
week. Today is District OF Columbia
day. Tomorrow consideration of the
Oleomargarine bill will be resumed
under the agreement made last week
to devote another day to general de-
bate, followed by a day of debate un-
der the five-minute rule. The passage
of the bill by good majority is con-
sidered assured, although the substi-
tute proposition probably will com
mand a larger vote than it did in the
last congress. The committee on war
claims will have day following the
disposition of the oleomargarine bill,
and the latter part Of the week will
probably be devoted to consideration
Of the Indian, postoffice or army ap-
preparation bill, all of which are ex-
pected to be reported earlier in the
week.

CLAIM OF TRUST DENIED.
Answer of Two Ohio Railroad Com
panies Is FiIed-RepIies Are
Practically Identical.

Columbus, Feb. 10.-The answers
of the Hooking Valley and the Ohio
Central Railway companies to the
suits recently brought in Logan and
Crawford counties to GUST them from
| their charters were filed late Saturday
afternoons The suits charged that the
two railways, which are parallel.
| have been unlawfully consolidated.
and that, in their alliance with GER
tain coal companies. they virtually
| constitute trust: also, that the prop
| erty of the railway companies has
been returned for taxation at much
less than its real value.
In the answers, which are practi-
| caily identical, general denial is
entered as to the existence of a trust
| between the companies named The
denial covers the charge that exces-
slve freights and passenger fares have
been charged and relates that the ex-
press business is entirely under the
| control Of the express companies
doing business over the lines. IN
each case the defendant says it's rate
OF fare and freight charges have at
| all times been as low, if not lower,
than those of other railroads in the
state Of Ohio for like services.
lnterrogatories relating to officers
or the companies are answered. but
1t is claimed that it is not practicable
to give a list of the stockholders, in.
asmuch as the stock is sold on the
market, and is constantly changing
| hands.
| The answer asserts that the de-
PENDANT company has no definite
knowledge as TO whether the J. p.
Morgan company owns 81 per cent of
the stock of the companies. and,
therefore. cannot deny the same. but
denies that the same has been used
by the said ]. p. Morgan G. Co. to
carry on the purposes Of the alleged
combination and the prevention Of
competition between the lines.
