Words Worthy OF Consideration.
fl the course of his admirable ad-
dress at Delaware College commence
ment, Chancellor Nicholson quoted
these words of Montesquieu, great
Frenchman, spoken years before our
Declaration OF Independence; As
virtue is necessary in a republic, and
in monarchy honor, so fear is neces-
sary in q desrotic government, y and
added:
BAN illustrated by the disastrous
AiLure Of niany an attempt at popular
soEcxnment made since his time, and
there are conditions existing in our
county today, seen and known of all
men, which are forcing the thoughtful
American to realize that it is not
enough for the necessary virtue to
exist in the land, hut that it must be
intelligently and energetically applied
to the affairs of State, in other words,
to politics. in order to avert evils
| which ho may well shrink from con-

A thoroughly popular government,
such as ours, based upon manhood

to see the venal and unsorupulous
making and administering our laws.
The difficulty is. that in order to bring

respectable and capable citizen busted
with his personal affairs, he must be
made to realize that il he persists in
closing his eyes to the plain facts
before him, the result of his continued

had adjourned, and Senators generally
were leaving the chamber. All the
Democratic Senators had departed with
the exception ofSMr. Bailey, Senator
A. o. Bacon Of Georgia, and on the
Republican side Of the chamber Mr..
Beveridge sat conversing with Messrs.
Hanna, Spooner and McComas
Mr.. Bailey walked leisurely over 10
whore the group of Republican Sena-
tors.were talking. Two versions OF the
encounter are given, one by Senator
Bailey and those who witnessed tho
occurrence and the other by Mr..
Beveridge. The common version is
this:
Mr. Bailey in quiet voice and re-
spectful manner indicated to Mr..
Beveridge that he had been insulted
by the latter and that he thought the
Indiana Senator Fought to withdraw
his remarks" the use of the term
"unwarranted" implying ialsehood.
g / say you ought to withdraw your
remarks from what occurred in the
Senate this afternoon, said Mr..
Bailey. '.What may occur if you dom t
may be of different character.
Mr.. Beverage, who sat smoking a
cigar, answered that he had intended
no insult and that he could see no
occasion to withdraw anything
"In that case, - replied Mr.. Bailey,
still speaking calmly, ''you must with
draw them. "
Mr.. Bailey emphasized the word
'must" and added that he would wait
until tomorrow. When Mr.. Bailey said
this Mr.. Beveridge Strengthened in his
chair and said he would have nothing
different to say tomorrow.
Rushing forward with pale face and
set teeth, Mr.. Bailey reached out with
both hands and. grabbed the Indiana
Senator by the throat. In doing so he
| iammed the Senator against the desk,
which overturned, to be closely fol-
lowed by the chair in which Mr..
Beveridge was sitting. Mf. Beveridge
was forced back to reclining position,
still in Mr.. Bailey's grasp. At that
point Senators MeComas and Spooner
and Mr. Layton jumped to the scene
and quickly separated the two men.
Voices we're loud, but the two com.
batants were dragged anart and the
incident closed. Mr.. Bailey went tc
the cloakroom, secured his hat and left
the Capitol for his hotel. Senator
Beverage went downstairs to his com
mittee room.
In speaking afterward of the affair
Mr.. Bailey said that when he ap,

the Bedfellows OF politics.

Z Delaware Life prints political rumor
to the effect that Former Senator
Anthony Higgins has made political
compact with j. Edward Addicks with
the object of securing the two United
States Senatorships and dividing them
between them. mother words, to make
Higgins-Addicks alliance
There is an old saying to the effect
that politics make strange bed
follows, and there could be no stranger
fellows than would be Mr.. Higgins and
Mr.. Addicks reposing together in the
same political bed. On the contrary,
there would seem to be every reason
why they should not make any kind Of
a personal and political alliance.
At the legislative session Of 1895 Mr..
Addicks deliberately defeated the re-
election of Mr.. Higgins to the Senate.
The Legislature was Republican, and
Mr.. Higgins was favored by majority
of the Republican members. Mr.. Ad-
dicks thought that he should be
Senator, in return for the financial
favors he had rendered the Republican
party during the campaign. But only
six Of the Republican members of the
Legislature supported him. These six,
however, proved sufficient to prevent
the election of Mr.. Higgins, and subse
quently, when the other Republican
members of the Legislature abandoned
Mr.. Higgins and voted for Col Henry
A. du Pont, four of these six Addicks
Republicans persisted in voting for
him to the last, thereby preventing the
election Of any Senator, and leaving a
vacancy which was filled by Demo
cratic Legislature two years later.
twill thus be seen that Mr.. Higgins
has no reason to love Mr.. Addicks and
should have no inclination to make
friends with him. And it is also a
fact that there would be little DISPOSE.

ware to endorse Higgins-Addicks
alliance. There could be no stronger
campaign argument for the Democratic
party than such an alliance, should il
be entered into.

What does it profit woman if she

students and school teachers, eager,
ambitious, and full of energy, very
often neglect their health in the
struggle to gain education. They eat
insufficient food, and at irregular
hours, they allow irregularity Of the
womanly functions to be established,
and the result is that they become
chronic invalids with all their edu-

The Issue cIsarly psflnea.

The Sussex Republican of George
town. which can lie accepted as an ex-
ponent of Regular Republican sentiment
in Delaware, insists that Congressman
Ball shallnot be denied denomination
just because he is Objectionable to the
Addicks Republicans In its issue of
this week it makes the following
challenge TO the opposition:
The Addicksites might as we'll under
stand nov that they will have to
accent DR.. L. II. Ball for Congress-
man. The Regular Republicans will
nominate him aud vote for him and all
the bluff, bluster, and venom the whole
Addicks aggregation can spit forth will
not prevent It. II these same Adj
dicksites refuse to accept and insist on
running y separate ticket, because
Addioks don't want want Ball, we say
| go right ahead and run your separate
ticket select yoar own puppets for
every nomination as you swear you will
| and elect it if you can. There is no
better time TO fight this thing out than
this present campaign. If Addicks
wants to run his own separate in
| dividual ticket, branded with his own
brand and stamped with his own Tam
many emblem, let him do so, Give
him all the rope he wants Let him
have fair field and no favor.
1t is not at all surprising that
tho Regular Republicans of Delaware
should assume this attitude, There is
no rule OF politics that would operate
to deny Congressman Ball a renomina-
ton. On tho contrary, the general
rule OF politics-the almost invariable
custom in Delaware would give him
the denomination without question.
But he is personally obnoxious to Mr.,
Addicks because he will not, as the
Sussex Republican says, how the knee
to him Therefore Mr.. Addicks anc
his political followers are opposed u
him.
As the situation is, the Regular Re
publicans will insist upon the no
nomination of Congressman Ball an,
the Addicks Republicans will voic
} their opposition by naming a candidat
| against him. Under these circum
stances, the prospects of tho election Q
} the Democratic candidate for Congress
this year will be unusually good.

M istown, N. j.. July l.--Mary
WellS gypsy princess, is dead at the
camplnear the foot OF the Watnong
Mountain. Her last request was that
her funeral sermon be preached by q

kindled at the head and feet. One
after another her comrades approached
and said their last farewell. At dawn
the body was bathed in pure, clear
spring water and then robed in white,
as custom DEGREES for maidens. About
the throat was clasped golden chain,
for she was princess of the royal
blood, and gold is the emblem OF power.
At noon all the princess clothing
ard personal effects we're consigned to
the watchfires and consumed. When
the last piece had been burned the
gypsies, of whom there are about 20,
formed circle around the bier and
for an hour sang and went through
weird nominations. When that was
over they each took small stick from
bundle termed the "fagots of life, -
and, breaking these one by one, placed
them on her breast. After that each
again did homage to the dead. The
Ceremony lasted from sunrise until
sunset. The watchfires will be kept
burning VII day today, Tor it is decreed
that they must bush two days to keep
the bad spirits from the, body until the
departed soul has reached its resting
place in the gypsy land of the skies.
After the funeral services today the
body of the princess will be shipped tt
