geleft STORY.
THE HERMIT OF THE HACIENDA.

Several years ago, while in company
with party of surveyors employed by the
Mexican government to make a geological
survey through certain parts of the coun-
try that lie in the vicinity of the city of
Mexico, / stumbled upon an old ruin of
what appeared to have once been build
ing of great magnifcence.
In wing of the mouldering pile [ found
a solitary inhabitant-a man old and gray
haired, his general appearance in keeping
with the desolate looking place. Lines of
great suffering were visible on his thin,
haggard face, and from the first moment
l set eyes on him, | wondered if he did
not havea story connected with his strange,
isolated life. There was a look of refine
ment on his face that told more plainly
than words that he had once been diff
ferent man.

for some time he would say nothing. |

in that vicinity, and at last, becoming bet

CoKxoE SENSE

The Levy Court on Tuesday
applied a most common sense
remedy to the capitation tax
collectors of the city of Will
mington who have been for
several years afflicted with the
.non-collecting disease. The pro-
vision of the law requiring the
appointment of these two officers
at a salary of $1,000 per year
each was a political measure to
provide a place for two Demo
cratic workers. There is no
earthly reason why the Receiver
of Taxes and County Treasurer
should not collect these capita
ton taxes when and as he col.
lects other taxes, in many in
stances. from the same indi-
viduals. Being a political job
the Democratic appointees
nursed it, the statement being
made that for two years the
books were not taken out of
the Office. No attempt having
been made to enforce the col
lection of these taxes, the re-
suit was that when the present
officials sent out bills no one
paid the least attention to them,
and while the county has paid
practically $1,000 in salaries
during the past year, there has
only been about $275 collected.
AT last, however, the Levy
Court has decided that they
must earn their salary and voted
to instruct the Chairman not to
sign their pay warrants. This
no doubt viii cause one of two
things to happen. The collec-
tors win collect or they will
resign.

HaRMoNY Nor IN Sight

While the both Republican
parties appear on the surface to
be anxious to get together, they
are not making much headway.
The answer made to the Union
Republican State Central Com
mittee and followed by the letter
from the seven Republican mem
bers of the Legislature who re-
fused to vote for Mr.. Addicks, in
which they offered the names OF
six Union and four Regular Re-
publicans from Kent and Sussex
and requested the Union Repub-
licans to submit list of ten
names from New Castle County
and agreed to join in the election
of two Senators at once, has
met with counter proposition.
The Union Republicans now offer
to go into a primary election for
the choice of State Convention
under the rules as they existed
in 1896. AS we pointed out last
week, this counter proposition
cannot be accepted by the Re-
publicans as there is no legal way
by which the two parties can
merge this year. Of course, if
either party wants to disband
or any of the members of either
party desires to join the other,
there is nothing in the way. But
as appears in the Union Republi-
cans later letter, they re-afirm
and renew their allegiance to j.
Edward Addicks and admit that
his election as a United States
Senator is the sole purpose OF
the existence of their party.
While this has been the COM
mon belief and has been charged
many times, this is the tirstopen
announcement by the Union Re-
publicans 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 re-
pugnant to Republican doctrine
as we have learned it, and SO
long as presevered itswill cause
the maintenance of two Republi-
can parties, one of those who be-
ieve in the principles for which
the party stands nationally and
locally, the other of those who
for various reasons may follow
the one man, one idea, one Office
plan. There yet remains the
one chance for compromise
which we have shown before.
That is to get together by a COM
promise ticket and let the Sena-
torships be settled by the Legis-
lature which alone has the power
to settle it. Should this not be
done, the election of Democratic
State and County officials and
the sending of Willard Sauls-
bury and r. r. Kenney to the
United States Senate will have
to be charged to the party or fac
tion> which refuses the compro-
mise.

POSITIVE PROOF.
THIS is WHAT GEN. MoLINEAUX
SAYS HE HAS OF HIS
SONS INNOCENCE.

New York, August 26.-General Ed
ward L. Molinesux, whose son, Ro-
land, is in the Tombs awaiting his sec
ond trial on the charge of causing
Mrs. Kate J. Adams death, declared
he has secured new evidence which
will be presented when the trial is
called in October.
81 know positively that my son is
innocent of the crime of murder" he
said. 81 have the absolute proof in
my possession. 1t is more than ten
months since the court Of appeals
granted Molinesux a new trial Dur
ing that time the general has worked
up the evidence through which. he
says, he will establish the innocence
of his son beyond the shadow Of a
doubt.
