Philadelphia contemporary should in

attempting a serious discussion. The
Democrats haven't chosen anyone for
Congress yet, their convention being
called for next Tuesday. And in the
second place, there is no such person
as Irving l. Handy. There is a gentle
man named l.. Irving Handy who ex-

rHosE KENr REPuRLICANs

The Republicans OF Kent county
nominated ticket yesterday from top
TO bottom. and announced that It is
the ticket they propose TO vote at the
election. These men have nothing else
left to do. They cannot yield their
valiant struggle fro n great principle,
and. besides, they have been ignored,
and spat upon by those who have de-
pended on their votes TO elect them.
They may argue that there is little in
ducement for them to endorse the nom-
inees for county offices put up by the
Union Republicans when their own
nominee for Congress, who has served
the party faithfully and been Of great
service TO the State. is turned down in

in their business. they havs gone on
from year to year doing their duty and
asking no favors. Sometime when we
shall have returned TO sanity and full
political virtue. we shall honor that
gallant little band OF Kent Republi-
cans.
Ignoring the returns Of the last cleo
tion, Union Republicans have claimed
that they could defeat both the Demo
Gratis and the Regular Republicans
The various Addicks publications have
repeated the story again and again.
There can be no valid claim. then. from
these sources that the purpose Of this

A friend reminds us that the late Ad-

opened with prayer, and asks us the
reason. 1t may have been that no rep
utable clergymen could be found to
ofhciate. Or it may be that their whole
hope being in Addlcks, no higher help
was required. Possibly they we're suf-
ficiently enlightened to know that to
have invoked the Divine blessing on
such gathering would have APP
preached blasphemy. Or it may have
been that the presence Of Byrne and

benediction. and nothing further was
required.

POLITICS BRIEFLY
MENTIONED
SUSSEX Has SEVEN CANDIDATES
all Of Whom Want 10 Represent State in
COngrlSS
Special to the Evening Journal.


Special to the Evening Journal.
Georgetown, Sept. 10.-Sussex coun-
ty has the distinction of having more
Democratic candidates for Congress
than all the rest Of the State combined.
Three of them, McFee, Lynch and
Hearne, have been in the field for quiet
awhile. Four others have lately made
their appearance. The latest entries
are Henry "a. Houston, of Millsboro;
Thomas G. Horsey, of Laurel; Joseph
G. Holland, of Milford, and Dr. Joseph
X. Frame, of Millsboro. Thus the total
is seven. The first three Of these are
from Georgetown hundred.
Next Saturdays primaries will settle
this fight. The man who lands the
delegation from this hundred will bowl
the other two out. The supporters OF
Andrew ]. Lynch claim that they will
have walk-over, while AfcFee's
friends say; Wen see about that"
Hearne says nothing, but seems to be
busy saving wood.
OF the other four candidates. Henry
A. Houston seems to be most feared.
'Tis said he can dive deeper, stay under
water longer, and come up drier than
any other man in the county.
The primaries will be hotly contested
all over this county, many of the fights
being three -cornered. Singly and col
lectively the Democrats in this county
are determined that the nominations
shall not go to New Castle or Kent
either, for that matter. They claim
that Sussex is entitled to the nomina-
tion, that it is only following a custom
acquiesced in by the Democratic party
for many years. They accuse L. Irving
Handy of trying to upset this arrange
ment. which he used as an argument
in his behalf when ne was nominated
six years ago. If Handy should get
the nomination he could never poll the
entire Democratic vote in this county.
Many candidates attended Laurel camp
last Sunday and talked politics all day
long.

REEoRMIN ST. LOUIS

The people OF st. Louis are amazed
at the revelations which are being made
to the Grand Jury OF a conspiracy
which has existed for some years in
the House OF Delegates. 1t embraced
eighteen members, and they were bound
together by a fearful oath, which gave
the conspirators authority 70 take the
life of one who was found disloyal to
the conspiracy. This band, 1t seems,
has been plundering the city for years,
and among its members are men OF
wealth and social prominence. Certain
OF the conspirators have turned States
evidence, and those who can be found
have been put under heavy bonds.
Every effort is being made to appre-
hend those who are in hiding.
The court does not seem disposed TO
stop with the prosecution Of the bribe-
takers, but is exhausting every effort
to ascertain the guilt Of the brlbe-
givers 1t will probably prove one OF
the greatest series Of trials in our an
nails, and the whole country will anx-
iously await the outcome
Most Of our municipalities are taint-
ed with a corruption that has not as

Much OF It is known; much suspected,
and, as in the case of ST. louis, the
worst has been concealed. It has ber
come so common that there has de-
veloped an apathy that is dangerous
and alarming Many Of our best citi-
zens have come to the conclusion that
fraud and pilfering are necessary Incl
dents of our municipal life. We are
told that no such condition prevails,
either in England or on the continent
and certainly there have never been
exposures that could equal those we
have grown accustomed to.
1t appears that while we have solved
the problem of government so far as II
pertains to national and State affairs,
in a satisfactory manner, we have made
almost a failure of municipal govern

OF THE SODA WATER
FOUNTAIN REGRET CLOSE Or SEASON

The days of this summers soda water
girl are numbered, for, with the close
of this month, many Of the fountains
will cease 70 give forth the sizzling
beverage until next Spring. One dealer,
who appears to enjoy a monopoly OIL
the trade says the season has been a
profitable one, and now that II is wan
ing he is as cheerless as the girls, who
seem to think that the lhappiest mo-
memts of their lives are those spent be-
meath the whirling electric fans empty
ing the glasses Of the refreshing tenn
perance beverages.
There are many interesting phases of
this soda water habit. One dispenser
said to an Evening Journal reporter
yesterday that the business isn't like il
used to be. I'm the old days" he con-
tinued, patrons used to sit on high
stools and watch me catch the 'fizz and
run 1t up two or three times without
spilling a drop. And as for the milk
shake. it took real artist to put up
one. Patrons at the present time must
have drink with a fanicful name, and
it must be loaded with dabs and squirts
OF this and that to meet the popular
I
uOns." he said, pointing to neat little
cards on the fountain bearing the
names of dozen popular favors.
1T may be strange to you, but it is
true, nevertheless. that our boys can
size up what a customer wants. They
also notice that at different times of tho
day they have their run for favorite
drinks. OF course, there is a run fol
brOmos, vlchy and ammonia, and othel

bracers. Lots of women call for theil

And when two women shoppers meet

as one sees patron after patron wait

dash out the door to some rival fOun-

Another interesting type of human
ity we see is the man who has a sweet
tooth. and who sinks in shamefacedly,
es it were, to crafty his taste for a
cream soda. Talk about moral cour-
agel That man would rather be caught
stealing a dog, or dodging his land

that looked like the after effects Of a
spree, than to be caught by a mascu-
line acquaintance drinking an innocent
cream soda. Isn't it true? The fun of
it is that his friend has come into the
place to drink the thing himself, but
the guying the first man receives is
enough to drive him to the nearest beer
saloon.
