Nowhere is the thrill of interest 30 in

military students have delighted TO dwell

A dramatic episode in that crisis Is not

Of that Of Auvergne, Of which Count de
Rochambeau had been colonel and which by

you viii not forget that we have served to-

Opposing an Innovation.

The Town Council of Dover has
formally protested against the intro
1uction of the free mail delivery system
in that town and vicinity, on sconomi-
cal grounds. 1t fears that the town
would suffer financially, particularly
in the way of losing the custom of
people who are in the habit of coming
to Dover for their mail. These people,
it is feared, would stay at home and
have their mail brought to them, and
the town, storekeepers suffer accord
ingly.
There never was great improvement
that did not meet with the croakings
of "doubting Thomases," at times
coupled with the fierce opposition of

Walter, editor OF the London Times,
had to operate his first steam press
secretly for time, in order to save it
from destruction by the hand -pressmen,
who believed that its introduction
would mean no further work for them.
People howled at the steam railroads
looked upon street railways as menaces
to the public safety, and insisted that
the introduction Of Illuminating gas
would blow every community thai
used it into kingdom come But still
the march of Improvement was moi
stopped.

The Character Of the War.

The following vivid and truthful
description of the character of our war
in the Philippines is from the Phila
delphia Ledger, newspaper noted for
its conservatism and fair Judgment:
The present war is no bloodless fake,
opera bouffe engagement; our men
have been relentless have killed to
exterminate men, women and children,
prisoners and captives, active in
surgents, and suspected people from
lads of ten up, an idea prevailing that
the Filipino as such was little better
than dog, u noisome reptile in some
instances, whose best disposition was
the rubbish heap Our soldiers have
pumped salt water into men to make
them talk" and have taken prisoners
people who have held up their hands
and peacefully surrendered, and an
hour later, without an atom of evil
dence to show that they were even
insurreetos, stood them on bridge
and shot them down one by one, to
| drop into the water below and float
down as examples to those who found
their bullet-loaded corpses. 1t is not
civilized warfare; but we are not deal
ing with civilized people. The only
thing they know and fear is force.
violence, and brutality, and we give il
to them. The new military plan Of
settling the troubles by setting then
at each other is one that looks
promising. We have now sent thou
sand Macahebes to Samar to avengt
the treacherous murder of Compan,
G Of the Ninth Infantry. They arr
hereditary enemies Of the "Ladrones, ;
and go forth to slaughter gaily.
| In addition to these horrors, the wa
has resulted in the government of tn
United States violating plain law AM
sacred tradition by oondoning humal
slavery and recognizing polygamy, il
a regular treaty entered into with tn
Sultan of Sulu, .-.......
And, to crown all, the war is bein
waged against a people who are I'm
doubtedly patriotic; who are inspire
by a desire to have their own countr
and make their own form of govern
ment-rights that are held to be ur
alienable by our Declaration of Ind,
pendence. And who have been bravel
fighting for these unalienable right
for more than three hundred years.
Is it not war that every good cit
zen should deeply deplore, and f,
, which those responsible should feel tt
, deepest shame?

A Specialist Heard on Plans for Ncntilu ting
the Court Householder business.
The session OF the Levy Court was
called to order at lilo o'clock Tuesday
morning by President Willis.
Associate Judge Spruance spoke at
length on the needed ventilation OF the
main courtroom in the Court House
and said II could be ventilated in
summer but not at this time of the
year He claimed that the courtroom
becomes filled with foul air and gives
headaches to those who attend.
Judge Spruance introduced j. George
Klenim, Jr., of Philadelphia, Il con
sulting engineer, who makes specially
of arranging for ventilation. He had
been through the building. Mr., Klenim
said there were two tlues in the build
ing and the ventilation could all be
carried through these tlues to the loft
lac estimated, roughly, that the cost
would be about $500 for the main court
room and $500 for the rest of the build
ing. He advocated the use of me-
chanical. system of electrical fans,
driven by motors. They could be
operated by any intelligent man.
Judge Spruance said that the present
term of court would continue until
March and then the work could be
done in the interim before the May
term He thanked the Levy Court for
its attention.
Mr.. Chandler stated that he had not
heard from the government engineers
in relation to Seventh street bridge.
The committee appointed with refer
ence to the bill of George W. Duncan
for earth supplied for the Silver Run
road reported discrepancy in the
account. 1t was decided to lay the
matter over until Mr.. Duncan can
appear before the court.

Has opened an Old Sore.

1t is amazing that the Dover Della
warean, of all papers in the State,
should deliberately open its columns,
as it has. to an elimination of the old
Democratic division in Kent county
during the campaign of 1888. Yet it
did this thing, and naturally, started
controversy.
The, division of 1888 was caused by a
bolt That bolt was the result of q
disappointed ambition-an ambition
that had been gratified repeatedly but
that could not withstand withdrawal
OF popular favor. And that bolt alone
led to the election OF Republican
Legislature, and opened the door Of
the United States Senate to Anthony
Higgins.
How the Dclawarean was connected
with the Kent county Democratic bolt
OF 1883 is well known. But Why it
should have resurrected an event that
it should he only too glad to consign
to oblivion, and thus afforded hostile
| political interests the opportunity to
harrass it by cutting criticism, is an
unfathomablc mystery.

Victims of Partisan Injustice.

1t is understood at Washington that
New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma
will not be admitted to the Union as
States by the present Congress, because
they would be Democratic States, and
thus affect Republican control of the
next Congress. 1t is most unfortu-
nate situation when the matter of
clothing Territory with the State
hood to which it is justly entitled
should be determined by small partisan
considerations.
When the Dakotas, Montana and
Utah were admitted to the Union, par
tisanship did not enter into the action
of Congress. And back in 1876, on the
eve of an election for President, d
Democratic House of Representative
voted to admit Colorado, although tht
political complexion of the new State
was matter of doubt. Curiousl,
enough, the vote ssof Colorado, which
went to Hayes, was one of the small
influences of that memorable cam
paign, any one of which, if reversed
would have placed Samuel j. Tilden
instead of Rutherford B. Hayes, in tn,
Presidential chair.
The Republican majority in Con
gress should put partisan considera
tions aside and consider the cases o
these three Territories strictly upol
their merits. If they possess the re
quisites of Statehood, of which Their
seems to be no doubt, they should b
admitted without delay.

WILMINGTON, THURSDAY. FEB. ~.
Becoming Festive Under the Yoke.

Referring to the remarkable change
from the blufiing and insolent mani
festo of ]. Edward Addcks, in which
be threatened the Regular Republicans
with political annihilation unless they
submitted to his dictation, to the plea
for harmony subsequently issued by
tho Union Republican State Central
Committee, the Sussex Republican of
Georgetown says
Ii is Whispered by those who profess
to know that many Union Republicans
are opposed to the plan Of annihilatlon
OF the Regulars and that such an oppo-
sition developed in their committee,
that they were compelled to fall back
on the old proposition. now six years
old, Us an acceptable plan. BE that as
ii may, we do know that there are
Union Republicans in this county who
are tired Of Addicks and the pictorial
manner he has assumed and will here
after use their best endeavors to bring
about Republican success without any
regard to what Addicks may want or
care. They want Republican success
and will no longer permit him TO stand
in the way. Whenever certain Union
Republicans can sustain their courage
long enough to make stand against
the wrong, the fate Of Addicks will be
sealed.
There is no doubt that good grounds
exist for believing what the Sussex
Republican says to be true, and that
many Union Republicans are becoming
FESTIVE to the point of rebellion under
the gall of the Addicks yoke. That
they should call halt on him and re-
fuse to follow him longer is not sur
prising
Such Union Republicans as are not
bound to their party leader by the ties
of personal profit must naturally resent
his selfish, stubborn attitude, which
cannot fail to bring disaster upon the
Republican party of Delaware. He has
shown, plainly, that his ambition is Sc
intensely selfish that no considerations
of party welfare will be permitted tt
stand in his way. To crafty this am
bition he has been guilty of politica
treachery in forcing senatorial
vacancy against the sentiment of tn
great majority of Republicans, ant
affording the opportunity of vacanc.
which was afterwards filled by Demo
GRAFT. And when the opportunity cam
later to elect two Republican Senators
he deliberately forced two vacancies
thus leaving the State without an
representation in the Senate, solely be
cause he could not be chosen to one q
the places. And he is doubtless read
to again sacrifice the interests of tn
Republican party unless it consent
that he shall be Senator.
No wonder that Union Republican
who are not owned body and soul al
tired of such selfish and disastrou
domination. And, as the Sussex RI
publican so tritely says "Wheneve
certain Union Republicans can sustai
their courage long enough to make
stand against wrong, the fate of AZ
dicks will be sealed" May that tin
come soon.
