BY which the two parties can merge
this year. OF course. II either party
wants to disband or any Of the mem
bers OF either party desires to join the
other. there is nothing in the way But
as appears in the Union Republicans
later letter, they reaifirm and renew
their allegiance to j. Edward Addicks
and admit that his election as a
United States senator is the sole pur-
pose Of the existence Of their party.
While this has been the common be-
lief and has been charged many times,
this is the first open announcement by
the Union Republicans that they only
have one idea. and that idea is one
man, and that man is greater than an
entire party and the party principles
This is repugnant to Republican doc
trine as we have learned it, and SO
long as persevered ii will cause the
maintenance of two Republican par
ties. one Of these who believe in the
principles for which the party stands
nationally and locally, the other Of

low the one man. one idea, one office

OF course Addicks' followers will not
give him up, even for the good Of the
grand old Republican party No one
who has interested himself In this
fight against boodleism, has seriously
anticipated that those who have been
following the dictates of the man Ad-
dicks and fattening on his generous
methods of distribution, would fall out
as long as the situation remained the
same. Mr.. Addicks wants to go to the
United States Senate. and he has got,
apparently, plenty of money to spend
to get there But every friend to good
government and honest methods will
fight valiantly against his achieving
the goal BY his political record, by
his inelegant utterances. by the audac-
ity OF his demands. and by reason of
the barrel Of money he is willing to
spend. Mr.. Addicks has shown himself
unfit for either the long or short terms
in THE United States Senate. and unit
he finds this fact out himself then the
fight must continue.-Millord News

From the Sussex Republican.
It is to be much regretted that this
opportunity to elect two senators has
come to naught, but this issue of Ad-
dicks or nobody. which is clearly
drawn by this answer. should be ac-
cepted by the Regular Republicans
and the fight made right along that
line This was the position assumed
by Addicks in 1885, and we have main
tanned since that time, that this has
been the position of Addicks through
out the struggle, but the Addicks
papers and lieutenants have tried to
excuse their action upon the plea Of
majority rule and insisted that this
was a fight for that principle and not
for Addicks. Their answer, however,
while protesting to adhere to this eX-
cuse admits that Addicks is the real
issue. So let it be. Let this cam
paign be fought out right along that
line. and Addicks will learn by expert

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
Bosses Who Demonstrated

Several men were seated in a cafe

vesation bosses were discussed. One
man, who is a mechanic, told Of a
boss who once took a chisel and ham
mer out of his hand for the purpose of
demonstrating how awkwardly he.

blow that the boss struck landed on
his thumb and mashed it badly.

rur RuoDEs sCHOLARsHIP

An alumnus Of Delaware College
in a letter to the editor, which appears
I'm another column. suggests that the
Cecn Rhodes scholarships at Oxford
which will be awarded to Delaware,
should be given to the students of
Delaware College. We presume the
conditions under which they will be
assigned have not yet been mapped
out. and probably it will require the
cooperation OF the trustees Of the fund
and certain designated persons here to
decide on a plan of award; but as far
as possible, we believe our correspond
ents suggestion should be followed.
In the first place, the scholarships
should be enjoyed by Delawareans,
not simply those who reside here, but
those who are native in spirit, and
who presumably will spend their lives
among our people. We have college
that is open to the young men Of Della
waro. the tuition being free, and the
course Of instruction being excellent.
Delawareans have not always taken
the pride in this institution that its
merits warrant. and consequently
many Of our young men have patron
lied the institutions of learning found
elsewhere, Should these persons be
selected. they would go to oxford as
representing the institutions from
which they came and not as repre-
senting Delaware.
II these scholarships were put at
the disposal Of the faculty and trus-
tees Of Delaware College. it would at
tract attention TO the institution, and
be an added incentive to many ambi-
tious boys who might desire to contest
for the place as our representatives
abroad We do not know what scheme
OF selection could be devised, but we
can think of no method that would be
more equitable. or more in keeping
with the purposes Of the beQuest.

ANGLo.sAxoN UNITY

The will OF Cecil Rhodes reveals that
he was something more than an an-
pire builder. His mind was not to DO
confined TO the development of South
Africa where he had spent his life and
amassed his fortune. Neither was his
patriotism Of that narrow sort which
cannot look beyond the borders OF his
own country. This last message pro-
claims his admiration for the Anglo
Saxon race. and a belief in its future
supremacy. II may be noted that
philanthropy is coming to be regarded
as a broader thing than formerly. and
patriotism also Is loyalty to a race,
rather than to a particular political
division.
Carnegie gives libraries to his own
comtrymen. but he also establishes
one in Havana and gives millions to
the struggling Scotch universities. So
Rhodes developed plan Of extending
higher education by providing scholar
ships at Oxford from every English
colony. number from Germany, and
two from each OF the States and terri
tories of the Union. These political
divisions represent the Anglo-Saxon
race. for Germany is the mother of
England. IL was the purpose Of
Rhodes to bring these peoples into
closer relations through the avenue of
education. and no plan more feasible
could have been devised.
These peoples have taken the lead in
all that makes for the worlds prog
ress. and together they can dictate the
worlds policy. Tennyson's dream OF
"a parliment Of nations" may not soon
be realized. but there may be unity
OF aim and purpose which shall compel
peace and make for human happiness,
Rhodes wished to bring the brightest
minds OF three great nations together
at an ancient seat of learning, where
there may be an interchange of ideas
and where an inspiration may be re
