dinary degree for the place he covets,
or NJ he were SO regarded by las
! Friends, the case would be different
But no such supposition is entertained
/ or claim made by himself or anybody
else. The whole argument i'm his be-
! lief amounts TO this. that in one way
OF another he has secured votes enough
In the Legislature to prevent the cleo
tiOn OF any other man, and that II the
goods for which he has done his best
TO contract are not delivered to him
they shall not be delivered at all
His opponents have steadfastly main
tained that it was duty TO the party
In Delaware and every other State, and
in fact TO al the people OF the coun-
try without regard to party, to defeat
scheme promoted by such means for
such an end or accept the alternative,
and thus far they have succeeded. But
they have not pursued a course of un-
compromising obstinacy and their
conduct has been personally disinter-
ested They have drawn the line not
at the supporters of Addicks, but only
at Addicks himself. They have offer
ed in the past. as they offer now, to
make IL easy for him TO take himself
out OF the way. But such appeals
have been wasted heretofore, and it
seems to be gennally assumed that
considerations of party loyalty and
personal Dropriety will have no more
effect I'm the present instance.
We hope that this assumption is un-
Just TO Addicks. The plan now pro-
posed osncedes virtually everything
except the fundamental principle on
which the fight against an artificial
dictatorship has been based It would
leave him in complete control ofevery-
thing he now owns. and merely refuse to
give him that to which he has never
established a valid title. II would ac-
complish the will Of the people of Del
aware through the election of two Re
publicans to represent that State in the
Senate, and It might contribute to hon
orable political victories there in the
future.

nELAMARE,s vACANT sEArs

The New York Sun. one of Americas
greatest and ablest newspapers, and a
stauuch supporter OF the Administra-
ton has this to say regarding bh'
proposition OF the seven Regular Re
publican members of The Legislature
20 elect two senators:
The continued absence Of Del&-
ware from the United States
Senate is a misfortune both to the
State and to the country. 1t is a
condition toleiable only because it
has averted a greater evil, the
presence in that body of Mr.. j..
Edward Addicks.
A settlement has been proposed
that Is consistent alike with the
self respect of both factions and
with the dignity Of the State. The
Regular Republicans in the Legis-
lature name ten citizens of Kent
and Sussex, a majority of them
being Union Republicans, and Of
fer to vote for any one Of the ten
that the Unionists may select,
either for the long term or the
short term. At the same time
they invite the Unionists to name
ten men Of New Castle County,
where Addicks lives, from among
whom the Regulars will select the
second Senator. This might give
the Unionist faction both Senators,
but neither of the two would be
Addicks, for even if his name was
among the ten on the New Castle
list some other name would GER
tainly be chosen by the resolute
seven.
Ii remains to be seen whether
the selfish and pernicious ambition
OF one man, notoriously unfit for
the Office he seeks, is able to de-
prive Delaware any longer Of its
i representation in the Senate.

MRS. HAlNEs' DEFENSE
Principal Aim Is to Prove Arsenic Did
Not Kill Child.


Mount Holly. n. J., March 29.-Medi.
cal and chemical experts took up Aear-
ly the entire day yesterday In the
trial of Mrs May Fenton Haines,
charged with the murder Of her two
year-old step-daughter, Gwendolin,
which began before Judge Garrison
last Tuesday. A large number of wit
nesses were also called, who testified
10 the good character Of Mrs. Haines
and to the good care she gave the lit
tie girl.
The principal aim of the defense
yesterday was to break down the
theory advanced by the prosecution
that arsenic had something to do with
the death Of Gwendolin. Experts who
testified declared that arsenic taken
Into the living body will inflame the
walls Of the stomach, but that arsenic
placed i'm dead body will diffuse, but
will not irritate. This was brought out
by the defense 10 uphold its conten-
tion that the arsenic found in several
organs Of the dead child was placed
there, probably through the medium OF
the embalming fluid.
Physicians who made the autopsy
/! testified while on the stand for the
Z prosecution on Wednesday that the
stomach and other organs OF the child
we're not infiamed. The undertaken
who embalmed the body admitted that
the syringe he used in embalming the
( body had previously been used in EN-
balming other bodies with fluids that
he believed TO have contained arsenic
but he denied that the particular fluid
he used in this case contained any ol
the poison. He also admitted that be
never washed the syringe.

icle. 1t is worthy Of consideration, and
we agree with It absolutely:
This will be a stubborn contest from

polls close on the day Of election, and
any man standing on the narrow
ground OF self-interest who fails to
contribute all his effort to pull out VIC
terry, will be traitor To his party
and the best interests Of tho country.
Let all Republicans take THAT attt
tude and insist that self-interest OF
the part OF no person shall stand
blocking the way Of success, and Re
publlcism will be victorious. The
question Of United States senators car
be disposed of in short order, and

honorable.
