In the reorganization OF the Levy

be in doubt. but the Addicks people are
confident Of its ultimate control
Should another vacancy occur, which
is very possible, the Governor would
have another appointment to make
and in view OF recent events. there is
every probability that the appointee
would be a man endorsed by Addicks.
The Evening Journal raises It's voice
in protest, although 1t is standing
alone in the matter. Addicks and his
lieutenants are managing the matter
of the reorganization, and are pre-
sumably looking out for their own in
terests. The conferences are held at
his command. and members are sum

81 WILL Nor~

John Edward Addicks makes the an
nouncement that he-he-will not a.
low uhe Regular Republicans to use the
emblem Of the eagle for their ticket in
the next campaign. That he-lhe-will
not allow them to use the name Re
publican" even as a qualifying word
He seems to be sure of two clerks of
the peace and assumes TO control the
third.
This would be amusing were it not
for the fact that so many of the people
of Delaware have succmbed to mis-
wlles. No matter how aslnine his ut
terances, how self -assertive, how brim-
ful OF shameless effrontery, there are
native-born Delawareans ready to clap
their hands In applause. Had Addicks
less weatI they would CALI him a
boor: had he less assurance they
would call him commonplace He has
demonstrated at every step his utter
unftness for public office. his utter
lack Of political sense and the only
weapon he has known has been the
blndgeon.
At every critical step he HAS bnnder-
ed, bsundered for his own interests
and helped only to disrupt the great
party of which he is a professed dis
clple. but with which he has no sym
pathy, save that which is selfish. His
diplomacy has been that of the mar
ket. and assumes that every man has
his price and that offices are made to
be juggled with.
He poses in public. and gives out in
terviews i'm which such expressions as
Behold your next senator" Il have
come down to see my CATTLE and Il
have not yet decided who shall be the
other senator, but Mrs. A. wants, etc.
Now he assumes to decide the law
and to make mp the official ballots for
the next election. He has decided upon
the name and emblem for his own ag-
gregation, and then assumes 10 say
what the other political parties shall
or shall not do All OF which would
cause mirth, were it not for the fact
that so many Delawareans like this
sort of thing In any other State this
man would become a laugIhing- g-stock. a
subject of jest. but such antics seem
TO be regarded by certain Following
as an evidence Of statesmanship.
10 won't work. We wish TO put our
selves on record as hazarding a guess
that THE Regular Republicans will vote
as they always have voted, under the
emblem of the eagle, that they win be
designated asRepublicans as heretofore
and that thousands of good men hav-
ing become digusted with such leader
win vote the Regular ticket for the
first time in years.

When a Man Is Put Into a Book
From the Baltimore News.
In this day. when almost every man
of note is embalmod in book form,
many public men think of their biog-
raDhics with shuddor. No man
knows what questions will arise after
he is beyond explanation. No man
can tell what his biographer Will write
of him when he is gone into that un-
discovered country. from whose bourn
no traveller returns. And few Of us
could contemplate with equanimity
having our lives laid bare in three vol
umes with green cloth bindings.
One may have the pleasant sensation
of Senator Thomas c. Platt, who read
Ia sketch of himself in which ne figured
as the Omar Khavyam of TiOga and a
statesman who always laid his pipes
underground and carried a knife up
his sleeves. Or. on the other hand, he
may be nauseated. as in the book made
about Richard Croker by Alfred Henry
Lewis in which he was compared with
Cromwell. Julius Caesar and Napoleon.
To the manifest disadvantage Of those
worthless book that set out for bio
graphy and ended In real humor and
burlesQue. And the manner in which
W. p. Henley treated the recent life Of
Robert Louis Stevenson is not reas-
suring TO those who put their conf
dence in their intimate friends and de-
pend on Them to guard their memory.
Several statesmen and others have
tried TO fOrestall the post-mOrtem
writer's by publishing auto-biographies
or accounts OF special events or per-
iods In which they took a leading part,
an example OF the latter being General
Russell A. Algers History Of the
Spanish-American Wal"
But 1t has remained for the late
Senator John Sherman to make the
most careful and complete provision
for the publication Of the story Of his
life and the part he played in public
events. Representative Kerr, of Ohio,
who was appointed one of the eXecu-
tors of his will. is writing the biogra-
ply Of Ohio's distinguished son. He
has discovered reports from Ohio
state that the materials for his work
are at hand. so that he can hardly be
misled The Senator is said to have
carefully kept every letter received by
him from prominent persons in this
and other countries. and this alone
forms a collection of great value to
the writer and student of history.
The life of Sherman will likely be em-
braced in two volumes Of 600 pages
each covering every part Of his career
in the way he would want It treated.
Mr.. Sherman not only carefully pre-
served the materials. but he made fl
nancial provision for the publication,
setting aside $4,000 to pay the ex-
pense OF preparing and issuing the vol
umes.
Public men ought to be interested
in watching the result of the Sherman
system. and If It is a success we may
expect to hnd many of them putting a
clause in their Wills something Ike
this-
81 do hereby select and appoint John
Smith to write my biography, using
the letters and papers as numbered by
myself and appropriate $4,000 for the

ply is the only authorized, real, and

China ana tbs Europeans

From the Baltimore American.
China appears to take her time in
everything. The civilization which
now exists in the Empire was prac-
tcally established by Confucius. This
will account for something that for
eigners do not appear to understand.
Il suits the Chinese. however, and
what suits a nation of 400. 900. 600 souls
is of more importance to it than any
thing which foreigners may think
they ought TO like The Court has
been making its progress to the capital
for about five months. Any European
Court would have done it in forty
eight hours. but the Chinese way is
different
1t is reported that the reform mOve-
ments in Pekin have been arrested by
the proximity Of the Court, and that
honors are being conferred on the
friends of Boxers. The latter is some
what indefinite. IL is probable that
there were few Chinese of worth who
did not sympathize with the Boxer
movement. II was a highly patriotic
movement in it's inception, and had
fer its object the arrest of foreign in
fluence and China for the Chinese. II

eigners were seizing everything in

hailed with delight Unfortunately
those who organized the movement
We're unable to control it, and outrages
followed which had to be redressed by
the strong arm of the Powers.
That the Chinese Court should fee
some sympathy for those who be
friended members of this party is no
so unnatural as il may seem. Nor il
lit remarkable that it should regarl
with suspicion the so-called educa
tonal and industrial reforms. Tn
