BLACKMAN's STORY.

Blackman's story, corroborated by
several witnesses, is as follows:
"After getting Mr.. Richardson's
message that Mi. Evans was in the city
and wanted to see me, | got up from
q sick bed and went down to the
News Office between Z and s o'clock,
as / had said / would do. / was met
near the bottom of the steps, leading
from the ground up to our offices,
by Mr.. Evans-as [ learned after
ward. He approached me and asked
if / was Mr.. BIackman, and, upon
being answered affrmatively, held
out copy of the telegram I had
sent him Saturday night, asking If
that was my message. I looked at
it and replied that it was. l was
standing partly sidewise to him read
ing the telegram, and before [ could
raise my head be muttered: Then
I'll kill you,' and struck me ter
rifle blow from behind, landin g
about the base of the brain at the
back of the head. l fell forward
semi conscious He continued to
beat me after I was down. I was
helpless, the blow on the back of the
head having temporarily paralyzed
me l was entirely unarmed, bnt
had I had an arsenal I would have
been powerless to use it, from the
fact that the attack came so unex-
pectedly, and from the rear. I had
had no idea of impending trouble,
and had Mr.. Evans asked for the
name of the author of the article, as
sertipg it's iucorrectness, [ shonld
certainly have endeavored to obtain
the authors consent TO give it to
bim."

PENINSULA PRESS
For Harmony
om the sussex Republlean.

From the Sussex Republican.
The politican-condition existing in
this state for the last ten years has
engendered differences and animosi-
ties which cannot be settled by any
act of the respective state committees
and because OF these differences it is
impossible for the men who are mem
bers Of the respective Republican or
ganizations to work harmoniously to-
geuher. IL is nonsense to suggest
such solution and no one having the
good and the ultimate success Of the
Republican party at heart would sug-
gest II. The result could only be dis
astrous and the defeat of the Repub-
hcan ticket certain. This no good Re-
publican wants TO see He wants to
see Republican success and this should
ne ms constant aim in all of his poll
ucal activities. He would be a foolish
republican indeed who would de-
lberately agree to any proposition
which would surely result in the de-
Feat of the Republican ticket. This is
the position of the Republican State
committee which met on Saturday.
they refused the proposition of the
Unions for common primaries to es-
tablish one organization, because they
knew one harmonious organization
was impossible while the differences
over the senatorship existed. and so il
is. The Republicans of this state. who
have been divided by this Addicks
question will remain divided as long
as that question continues to exist in
the Republican party of the State of
Delaware. This the Unions know as
well as anybody and their proposition
was not originated or offered with any
good intention or expectation that it
would result in good to the Republican
party. but was conceived and offered
Tor the purpose OF placing the so-cal-
led Regular Republicans in position
which might result in good to the
Unions or Addicks organization. If
they have the success of the Republi-
can party at heart they would hesi-
tate to make such impossible propo-
sitions for political effect and would
be only too glad to meet the other Or
in any arrangement that
would enable them to bring about the
success OF Republican principles.

A PHILIPPINE PoLICY

At last. Democratic objections to the
Governments Philippine policy is put
into form, and a most illogical prOpO-
sitfOn confronts us. 1t viii please no
body, not even the anti-imperialists.
because it is aimed to meet a condi-
tion that does not exist. II emanates
from the Democratic members of the
Senate Committee on the Philippines
and will Doe offered as a substitute for
the Governments bill relating to the
islands.
II provides for the REIMBURSEMENT
of American control, and the establish
ment OF government by the people OF
the archipelago. A constitutional con-
vention is provided for, and the mem
bers are TO be chosen by the electors
who can speak and write some Ian
guage of the archipelago. That would
surely mean government without the
consent of tho governed, since not
twenty-five per cent. Of the inhabitants
could comply with the conditions. Such
plan would be feasible only in a
land where intelligence is general.
and this condition does not exist in
the Philippines.
The President is to be authorized
to negotiate treaties to which the
United States. the Filipino government
and the chief European nations shall
be parties. providing for many things,
among others being the full independ-
ence of the territory of the islands.
That means that We are to continue to
extend the protection OF our strong
arm, and to keep our army in readi-
ness to maintain the peace of the
archipelago. OF course, no other coun-
try would enter into such a treaty,
since in their dealings with such peo-
pie. all sorts Of complications might
arise, and il might become necessary
10 send warships and land troops to
enforce just demands. And then who
can say how soon the islands would be
lpartitioned? II the Democrats have nc
more plausible scheme than this they
should continue their policy Of genera
/ lObiectiOn.

Commission of Delaware, Wisconsin,
Minnesota. Iowa, Nebraska, and Idaho.
The list was compiled by the library
experts of the Wisconsin Library Com
mission and includes about 1,200 titles
OF which those most desirable for first
purchase are designated by asterisks.
II also contains much valuable advice
as to the selection. ordering, receiving
and care Of books. and will repay care
full study on the part Of library boards,
school teachers. Librarians and all
others interested. It will be sent free of
charge to any Delaware library, book
committee or librarian on request
The State library commissions recog-
nize the great difficulty Of the problem
lying before such bodies in the matter
of choice books for small Libraries
(often even having smaller funds) be
they public subscriptions, schools or
Sunday School libraries, and being
strongly desirous of giving ali reason
able assistance to those who choose
our books. and of raising the tone Of
reading Throughout the several States
they conclude that in no way could
they give more efficient help than by
providing expert advice to all those in
terested. They propose publishing
supplements to this first list from time
to time and the Delaware Commission
hopes to be able to continue their free
dissemination as the books for very
small Libraries must be purchased with
the utmost care. With so few books
that it is difficult to supply the de-
mand. nearly all the books must be
popular with the mass of readers, and
the average cost must be small. On
theOther hand dunwholesome books must
be carefully excluded and too cheap
editions must be avoided. In selecting
the books for this list the officers OF
the commission have been guided
largely by experience. They have
omitted all books of whose wholesome
ness they have any doubt, and have ac-
ceDted those that the experience of the
larger proportion of small Libraries
has shown to be popular with most
readers.
The commission holds that each Ii
brary must build up its own patronage
by giving unframed readers, the best
of tho most popular books and then
leading them gradually from good
books to better and il hopes that the
libraries and Librarians of our own
State will find the pleasant task of
doing so rendered easier and more
successful by reason of the light
thrown upon the work by the COM
bincd experience and good will of Della
wares State Library Commission and
Of that of her Western sisters.

States Senate. IL is not 10 be inferred
that the Regulars who represent the
decent Delaware Republican element
mean to support any plan by which
Addicks will be elected. but they go so
far as TO say that almost anybody ex-
ceDt Addicks can be elected. They
name ten men from the two lower
counties of Kent and Sussex and offer
to vote for any one OF them upon whom
the Union Republicans may agree. All
of these men except one or two are
known as Addicks sympathizers. The
proposition for electing the other sena-
tor also makes Il possible for the
Union Republicans to elect one of their
followers to the other senatorship. The
Regulars ask them to name ten men
from New Castle county, one Of whom
shall be elected by the Regulars The
Union Republicans may even name Ad-
dicks as one of the ten from New
Castle county, but, Of course, the Reg
ulars VIII not choose Addicks.
The value of the present move is that
il will bring home to Delawareans with
irresistible force. in case the prOpo-
sition is rejected. that the ambitions OF
j. Edward Addicks are throttling the
State of Delaware. running the Republi-
can party in that State beyond hope of
redemption. and even impairing the
general Government to the extent OF
depriying the Senate Of the full num-
ber contemplated in the Constitution
of the United States. BY giving a
chance to the Union Republicans to
send two of their number to the Senate
the Regulars place in the strongest
light their own unselfshness, which
has never been honestly questioned.
Addicks has held to the policy OF
"Addicks or nobody" very tenaciously.
but if he now stands in the light OF his
own followers by counselling the re-
lection of this plan both he and his
party will be eliminated. The Regu-
lars have gone to the extreme length
in the direction of compromise. They
are prompted to this step by a patri-
otic desire to save their party and give
their State due representation in the
Senate

The Regular Republicans appear to
be a unit regarding the future policy
of their party. They have said in the
most forcible way possible that there
is nothing Of envy or spite animating
them. and that towards the members
of the Union organization they enter
tain only sentiments of good Will,
while believing that their brethren are
running after strange gods
The members of the State Commit
tee with unanimous voice rejected the
so-called harmony proposition, and the
reason is not hard to seek. 1t did not
mean harmony, but it might have
meant disgrace. But the true position
of the Regular Republicans is shown
by the proposition OF the seven mem
bers of the Legislature who suggest a
plan under which two senators may be
elected. This is not mere political
fencing. but is a definite proposition
under which the real bone of conten-
ton may be eliminated.
This was endorsed on Saturday by
the County Committee without dis
senting voice, and this shows that the
party is yet prepared 20 make all con
cessions consistent with honor. 1t will
require a great deal Of courage to re-
ioct this proposition. II contemplates
a list. including the names of twenty
of the most prominent Republicans in
this state. and to reject IL would mean
that the claims of one man are regard
ed as superior to those OF twenty.
Today the Union State Committee
will meet in this city. Doubtless II
will take some action on the PROPOSE
tions of the Regular Republicans.
There is reason for the belief that this
organization is absolutely under the
domination of one man, and that one
man is Interested only in himself. But
we think it will require courage to re-
iect the Republican proposition toI
elect senators.

The Old Plan Best

From the Middletown Transcript.
The facts are that there are two
Republican parties, each with a full
and complete organization reaching
down into the several hundreds and
election districts; that these organi-
cations were chosen by the electors OF
each party in 1900 for a peroid OF four
years, and that no legal committees
can be selected until 1904 at the time
of electing delegates to the State Con
vention that chooses delegates TO the
National Convention. AS pointed out
in the reply of the Republican state
Committee, if IL were possible to
make a legal fusion, il would not be
good politics to do so. With a hard
campaign opening, the best work can
be gotten out Of both organizations
working on separate lines, but with
one set of candidates. If for no other
reason. there would be just twice as
many workers.
While all Republicans, whether
Regular or Union, are anxious TO sec
the party united, all who give the
matter a serious thought must agree
that now is not the time to hold one
state Convention. Next year wheI
there are no disturbing features in th'
shape of candidates and would-be can
didates. IL might be possible TO arrang'
terms of compromise, and pave the wa.
for a single nominating state Conven
ton. For the present, there can be NJ
doubt of the wisdom of continmn
the plan followed in '9S-l9OO, whei
glorious victories were won.

A Harmony Tran

FROM the sussex Journal
The AddiclIs harmony trap into
which the Regulars were invited to
fall, does not seem TO have worked the
way II was intended. The Regular Re
publican State Central Committee.
with a full board and after apparent
consideration. refused to join the Ad-
dicksites in a common primary, which
would mean the sure election of Ad-
dicks in case the next legislature
should be controlled by Republicans.
The long and short of the answer is
that there can be no union as long as
union means the election OF Addicks
In other words Addicks is wedge
that Keeps splitting the Republicans
into two parties. When Mr.. Addicks
was informed OF the action of the
Regular committee, he opened his
mouth sgain and said: I'VE have
built stone wall around the State
of Delaware" meaning, we suppose,
that he had bought the party and
fenced It in. He certainly seems to
be under the impression that he is
ordained to own and lock up the Re
publican party but to his surprise, it
seems there be those who refuse to
sit quietly on the Addicks hen roost.
Talk about his carrying Delaware
this fall Addicks can never hope to
carry this state except by the lavish
use of money, and that cannot avail
him again because the sentiment of
the people is aroused against the use
of money for bribery at elections. Ad-
dicks cannot win and his -mOuthed
talk only makes him more ridiculous.

We desire to raise our voice to make
a prediction. 1t is this: The city Of
Wilmington will be lighted for some
years by Welsbach lamps. Either the
term will be for six years and the
number of lamps 5lS, OF else the time
will be ten years, with a thousand
lamDe From information that is not
simply a guess. we believe the Wells
bach company has a good case to take
into court on its original contract.
Concessions were made to avoid litiga-
tion and uncertainty, but if these are
rejected, we expect to see contest
over the original contract, and we are
inclined to the opinion that the city
! will lose.
