Politics in Delaware.

The politicians are keenly watching the close and exciting contest in New York, and the people at large are watching the struggle in Little Della ware over Addicks. The latter race is very interesting, involving as it does two United States senators and B member of congress.
 J. Edward Addicks is making his fourth attempt to grab a senatorial seat through the free use of money In the little state. This carpet-bag- ger from Boston is in the field with a well organized machine behind him. The anti-Addicks republicans are also in the race, presenting for every office candidate. They, too, are well organized, and they declare with one voice better two democratic senators than Addicks and dishonor and ever lasting disgrace"
 This split in the republican party will this year, it is thought, restore Delaware to the democratic column and put an end to all republican bick erings, including, of course, Addicki and his senatorial ambition, The democrats fully expect to carry the state and afterwards elect two United States senators, one of whom will be William Salisbury. who belongs to one of the historic families of the state. Ex-Senator Kenney may be the other senator. This is counting chick ems before they are matched, but al indications are that they will surely emerge from their shells this year.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-11-01
AIl Democrats Should vote.

With a registration approaching 100000, there should be vote of at least 10000O. The vote at the demo cratic state primary rose to nearly 90.0OO, and the vote of all the parties on Tuesday should therefore be fully 100000. Ninety thousand democrats at least should go to the polls.
 They should go there in order to endorse William Dorsey Jelks' admin istration--a man of courage and good sense--a man who has met every problem in business-like manner and disposed of it to the satisfaction of all concerned. No mistakes are charged against him; no flaws have been found in his record. He is an excel lent governor, and he deserves the vote of every democrat in the state.
 Go to the polls also in order that the best men may in every case be elected to the legislature. Don't forget that competent men are greatly need- ed this year in the legislature, and friends of the new constitution are needed there. The opposition say they will elect forty members of the legislature. See to 1t that there Is minimum of obstructionists in the next legislature, when far-reaching general laws are to be passed.
 Go to the polls. too, in order to elect solid democratic delegation to congress. Give each and every one of the delegation a full democratic vote. It aids them, and 1t keeps the ene- mics of southern representation from pointing to light votes cast in the cot ton states. They are. able to show that a comparatively small number of voters in Mississippi, for example. elect member of congress, while ten times that number in the contested states elect but one member. Go to the polls and roll up good-sized ma jorities for our delegation. in con gress. Every one of the nine deserve your votes, and two of them actually need them.

IS CLEVELAND A CANDIDATE.

From the Washington Times.
 An interesting phase of the proposition suggested by the question as to whether or not the Honorable Grover Cleveland is again preparing to enter the lists for the democratic presidential nomination is that 1t does not provoke fight among the democrats in Washington. The time was. and not so very long ago, either. when any man, regardless of age, color or previous condition of servitude. could get fight in Washington if that was what he was looking for, by merely hint ing in the presence of a group of demo- crats that MT. Cleveland was not yet too old or too worn out to make pretty good race. Now when this subject is broached one democrat looks at another and whistles, not resentfully or contemp- tuously, but meditatively. The ex-presi- dents unlocked for activity is setting all sorts and conditions of democrats here abouts speculating upon his object. And their speculations are not accompanied by unprintable comments. either. In fact. 1t seems to be granted that after all, MT. Cleveland has the right to talk politics and to advise democrats. How much further this federation of him will extend among that element of democrats who for six or eight years have lost sleep O nights "cussin' him remains to be seen. It will repay watching. anyway.

DingIeyism is Robbery.

"on going to the polls," says the Talladega Mountain Home, "next Tuesday, let every voter remember that the tariff is tax, and that every dollar collected by it in excess of the needs of the government is robbery. The excess now is above s5O0.0OO. 900, all unjustly wrung from the people"
 All true, very true. but the sum named is but small part of the loot unjustly wrung from the people For every dollar collected by the customs officials at least ten are collected by the trusts and other protected man. ufacturers,. and the latter collections go into private and corporate pockets. This is why such men who have an export trade offer one price to the foreign buyer and another to the home consumer. The average differ ence between these two sets of prices is 40 per cent, and this fairly meas ures the extent of the robbery con ducted under the Dingley tariff for in- dividual purposes.
 The robbery is conducted so slyly it Is not seen and very few can meas ure it, but its general effect is seen in the making of millionaires on the one hand and of tramps on the other. Indirect taxation is always sly and al- ways villainous. It is chiefly laid for that purpose. It is filling the land with trusts that are greedy because they are overcapitalized. They carry prices to the tariff limit, and the con- sumner is helpless against them.
 The chief trouble consists in lack of intelligence on the part of consum- CTS They become accustomed to the paying of 10 cents for an article which Is sold in other countries for 5 cents, and they do not stop to as- certain why they must pay 10 cents, or who gets the excess. Until the con sumers wake up, trusts will be multi piled, and the robbery that the Noun tain Home mentions will go on un- checked.

A DANCING GIRL.

She comes-the spirit of the dance!
 And but for those large, eloquent eyes, Where passion speaks in every glance, She'd seem a wanderer from the skies. So light that, gazing breathless there,
 Lest the celestial dream should go, You'd think the music in the air
 Waved the fair vison to and fro! Or that the melody's sweet flow
 Within the radiant creature played, And those soft wreathing arms of. snow And white sylph feet the music made. Now gliding slow with dreamy grace,
 Her eyes beneath their lashes lost, Now motionless, with lifted face
 And small hands on her bosom crossed. And now with flashing eye she springs Her whole bright figure raised in air, As if her soul had spread its wings
 And poised her one wild instant there! She spoke not; but, richly fraught
 With language are her glance and smile. That, when the curtain fell, thought
 She had been talking all the while.

Dinqleyism Split in Two.

The high protection crowd have split into two parts-in voting power, into two equal parts. For the while the black and tans have a larger fol lowing, yet their voting strength is not much, if any greater than that of the lily whites. Each can command about 5000 votes, but the black and tans have behind them an immense constituency that cannot vote under the new constitution. They have be hind them, too, sentiment in the re

 publicanism in the south. The lily
 whites are a lonely squad with for lorn present and 8 not promising fn. ture. Dingleyism and ship-subsidyism are both on their last legs. and that is all they stand for.
 The black and tan organization ef- fected at Selma means business. It has been organized. 1t is plain, with an eye to 1904. It will put state and congressional tickets in the field in that year. and, what is more impor- tant. it will send delegation to the republican national convention. There will be something doing then. When at Chicago or some similar city the black and tans meet the lily whites then will come the tug of war, and the black and tans will plead their case before jury packed in their favor The Selma movement will be apt to spread to Louisiana. North Car olina and Texas, and thus it will come to assume national proportions and to dictate national policies. Chairman J. Carter Cook may not now see the handwriting on the wall, but he will see it plain and full by or before 1904.

THE PASSING OF THE INDIAN.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 Apparently the disruption of the Indian tribes is near at hand. There is a pro- position to divide what Is left of Indian territory into personal holdings, for allot- ment among the members of the civilized tribes that occupy it, and we may be sure that some of the owners will get rid or their parcel with alacrity. when they have an offer from white men. and become absorbed, as best they may, into the body of the public.

All of the territory. except $40 square miles. is owned by the five tribes that are signatory to the new agreement What prominence for the
