pELAwARE,s OPPORTUNITY.

The sheer that is raised over rich
men buying their way. into the United
States senate must in one instructive
instance at least give place to graver
/, consideration. 1t took wealthy John
Edward Addicks twelve years to learn
that he could not be elected United
States senator from Delaware. But
having learned this. and basing the
reasons for the failure to elect any one
at all on his own obstructive candidacy,
he now meets the recent democratic
proposition by withdrawing from the
field, provided the legislature will select
two republicans, instead of one from
each party, as the democrats proposed
The latter will doubtless see in the
frank Acknowledgements of conditions
that are not wholly creditable to him
merely Il desire on his part TO secure
the largest partisan advantage thru his
withdrawal. AS the republicans hava
the power to elect two senators, they
will doubtless take advantage of the
offer.
Addicks, while regarded as spoils-
man. has greatly aided the Delaware
republicans in winning success ana
control Of the state since he entered
politics. He is widely known as the
gas man." He was born in Philadel-
phia and is 81 years old; received
common school education and was sue

clerk in a -four store, -four merchant
and real estate dealer. Later he went
into the promotion of gas companies,
and when, In 1855, after tremendous
struggle. he obtained franchise from
Boston's city councils. permitting his
Bay State Gas Company to lay mains in
the streets, his fortune was made. He
also obtained control of the gas plants
in Brooklyn, New York. and Whining
ton, Delaware, and has been rated as q
multi millionaire.
The withdrawal of Addicks affords
the people Of his state opportunity to
secure recognition and representation.
Among many observers his action in
withdrawing is attributed directly to
the refusal of the United States senate
to confirm United States District At

came convinced that he had no stand

CHANCE CALL PREVENTS DEATH.
Doctor Stops at House of Patient Just
After He Swallows Poison.


South Bend, Ind, Feb. &c. c. Laid
law, former representative from st.
Joseph county in the Indiana legisla-
ture, owes his life to a remarkable case
OF mental telepathy. At least the cir
cumstances which brought DR.. j. b.
Greene of Mishawaka. to his bedside
make the idea plausible. The doctor
has been attending Mr.. Laidlaw for
some time, and at 3 o'clock a. M, while
returning from visit to a woman
patient, he turned off to the Laidlaw
home to inquire into his condition, al
tho not summoned. AS he entered the
yard a messenger was just leaving to
summon him to the house, Laidlaw
having taken bichloride of mercury by
mistake. He swallowed three tablets,
enough to kill any person. The sur
geon's arrival was extremely timely,
as Laidlaw was almost on the point
OF breathing his last.

IMPROVED METHOD OF ASSESSMENT.

As the assessor will soon be abroad II,

that suggest improvement ought to be
Of general value. Mr.. John r. Com

has been carried to its highest perfec-
ton in st. Paul. In 1896. the deputy
assessor. Mr.. w. A. Somers, invited the
chamber of commerce and other bodies.
to select committees from the different
sections of the city. who should place
front-foot value on the middle lots of
{ each block in the city. With these
values before him, he constructed per-
eentage tables showing the variations
to be allowed for different depths and
for corner lots. He then plotted conve-
nient sections of the city on large
charts, which were hung up at a public
meeting place, to which he invited on
successive evenings the citizens and
residents Interested in the particular
sections announced for review. Criu-
cisms were made, and the corrected
valuations were then transferred to the
assessment rolls This practice applied
only to ground values, and not to Inn
provements. Buildings were assessed
separately, under the supervision of a
committee of architects and builders.
This committee drew UP blank sched-
ule for the description Of buildings, and
these schedules were filled out by clerks
who inspected the properties. The
schedules provided for a minute de-
scription of each building, showing the
material of which it is constructed. the
dimensions, projections, roof, outside
finish, inside finish, method of heating,
water supply, drainage, number and
character M rooms. sidewalks. etc. Fol-
lowing is one of the seventeen items
taken from this schedule, showing the
particularity with which the description
il made. The clerk, in using the sched-
ule. checks off by means of a circle the
appropriate word descriptive Of this
keature of the building.
"outside finish: Siding, shingles,
brick, common, pressed; stone. cut
rough.
"TrImmings: Plain, ornamental,
stone, metal. wood"
The schedules, when filed out. were
returned to the committee of experts,
who placed value per square foot on
each building according to its descrip-
ton in the schedule. From this the
clerks computed the total value OF the

"of course Dolliver would make q
good vice president. And there are
quite number of Iowa men who fee
they would make good senators" re-
marks the Algona Republican.
Referring to the bill before congress
to pension the widow of Representative
Rumple at $40 per month, the Daven-
port Democrat says: Captain Rumple
served in the army with distinction
and there isn't a voter in the Second
district who would lift his voice against
this scant award to the bereaved wom-
an"
The Newton Record declares "The
principle of reciprocity Is good repub.
licanism and has been advocated by the
strongest members OF the party and by
the way helped along by Iowa's grand
old diplomat, John Kasson. While there
a wholesale readjus tment of the tariff
there can be no great detection when II
comes to proper action on reciprocity
treaties"
The Ames Times is impressed with
the thought that "Robbing country
postoffices is like robbing country
printing offices. There is never enough
of value in them to pa. for the trouble

of Governor Cummins' Interpretation of
