NO COMMON PRIMARIES

At meeting Of the Union Republi-
can First District Committee last night
the Regular Republican proffer OF COM
mon primaries TO select n ticket which
would have resulted in the election Of
a Republican Mayor, Council and other
city officers. was rejected. Unless
the Union Republicans recede from
this position. all Of these offices will be
filled by Democrats. This is the work
of Jonn Edward Addicks. We believe
that the time win come when the eyes
OF onr people will be opened TO his ca
pacity for making mischief John c.
l7ahey was elected Mayor Of this city
and We had a Democratic administra-
tion such as we arc not likely to for
get soon Just because Addicks wished
20 cause trouble. His ability in this
direction as conceded.
It was generally understood until
last night that the Union Republicans
were eager for common primaries
Every intlmation led TO that conclu-
sion. All the Union Republican leaders
favored IT, Candidates had been
brought forth on that supposition.
When DR.. Frantz was endorsed for
Mayor by Union Republicans 1t was
on the perfect understanding that
there would be common primaries. but
Addiclxs came down from Olaymont
last night and told the First District
Committee to refuse common primar-
les. and they did it,
But let us look at the motive inspir-
ing this conducts It is the same old
Amc or nobody" policy. The Union
Republicans were anxious for united
party as long as their candidates were
unopposed. but the moment "A promi-
nent citizen was named for Mayor. a
man who would have measured up "a
the office. Addicks said he wouldn't
play any longer Now, presumably
common primaries contemplates a fre,
field for all Republicans. but upon the
announcement that Mr.. Jones was II
the field. Addicks' personal orgar
printed a screod TO the effect that j.
was unfair TO bring out a candidate
OF such popularity that he would prob
ably be nominated.
Two things are evident Addicks vii
not allow his forces TO enter common
primaries unless he is assured O
every advantage, and he viii not sub
init to the selection Of men OF eminen
fitness and ability. OF course IN
Regular Republicans have no course I
pursue but to proceed to select the be'
possible candidates and TO vote fc
them. Addicks offers TO allow II
Regulars TO Join in the Union primal
les. but the magnanimity of the pr,
posal win hardly be appreciated.
the Union Republicans are strong
than the Regulars they should not fei
a common primary; II they are weaks
they are playing the part OF disru
tionists. one thing is clear: Addic
has fatal liking FOR Democrats

To show that our Governor is really

state that he tossed the baseball into
the diamond last Saturday with be-

wish to state that he is not always

ON that occasion the Governor had no

GRAY Ann THE PRESIDENCY

There are indications that leading
Democrats all over thecountry have Judge
George Gray in mind as possible Presi
dential candidate. A correspondent writ
ing in the New York Sun yesterday, by
a process Of elimination, makes it appear
that Judge Gray is the only available
man. German is not popular with his
party OF with the people; Watterson has
made enemies, and is too volatile TO be
seriously considered in connection Will
the Presidency. The talk of Cleveland il
nonsense, since he would probably refuse
and, besides, the American people vii
hardly accord him third term whei
they refused it to more eminent an'
popular men.

Young man. when you have finished
your dinner tonight, 20 up on the roof OF
out IN the street or yard by your home
and take a good, long look "a. the star OF
the Evening. She will do you much good.
In the first place, the mere fact of your

TO do this VIII aid .our mental develop
ment. In the second Pace you will have
to INT your eyes and chin from the mir,
OF the street about yol to the clean glor!
OF omnipotonce. In ,hc third place, yol
cannot look for five minutes at Venus o

A MIGHTY DIFFERENCE

Possibly Governor Hum has it In"
for New Castle county. lie knew that
the bill providing for the repairing and
rebuilding OF mill dams at the county
expense was "a good bill to killi" he
said so. and yet with the simple propo-
sition OF requiring this county to pay
about $4,000 for the benefit OF private
individuals before him. he signed the
bill.
Governor HUM intimated that he
would like the press of New Castle
county TO express an opinion, and the
response was unanimous. The Even
ing Journal learned Of the Governors
wish, and since il seemed so eminently
proper, we gave him full reasons for
justifying veto. Then after the
newspapers had supported his express
ed view in the matter, he coolly signed
the bill. But theirs is the better posi-
ton. since they were right, and he was
wrong, and knew IT, We denounced
the measure we now denounce the mar
whose action made It law.
But Governor HUM is very careful
mot to put upon the state an additiona
burden. He refused to sign the Stat
Auditors bill on the fimsy pretext tina
it would add to the annual budget
small sum, although the whole syster
OF state accounts depended upon tn
bill. New Castle can pay gratuities q
thousands of dollars. but the Stat
o cannot pay for keeping its account
r properly.

KENT JURORS KISS BIBLE
Preferred Old Custom Despite the New

Special to the Evening Journal.
Dover, April Gentlemen unde-

need not NOW kiss the Bible" said
Chief Justice Lore, thus formally intuo-
ducing the new law Tor the
protection of the public health, as
the Grand Jury of Kent county was be-
ing sworn in, with Robert J. Eeswicl1,
of Milford, as the foreman. "Of course, IS
added the Chief Justice, "those of you
who may desire, in taking an oath, to
kiss the book, are at liberty to do so,
only it is not new obligatory"
Notwithstanding the offer TO take ad-
vantage of this shortening of the cere.
mony, three of the jurors evidently
thought their oaths no complete with
out the old-time custom, and tLey each
reverently kissed the Book. The twenty
Iothers, however, refrained and sat down
as soon as the oath itself was admins
tered.

A linmlIiatind Confession ,l--


From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
Nissourls IAeutenant-Governo who
was inculpated In the Legislative Doodle
scandals to such an extent THAT he fled
from the State in order to escape the ne
cesslty OF giving evidence against his po-
ltica friends, has promptly sagnalized his
return to the jurisdiction of that Common
wealth by resHgning his office.
In view Of the revelations which have
been made concerning his participation in
the bribing Of Legislators. this course was
the only one for him TO follow if he wished
to show that he sMll had some shreds
Of regard for pubic opinion. His ex-
pressed wish THAT has "fau'ts and mis-
takes" may be forgotten and that some OF
The things in his official career which de-
serve commendation may be remembered
IS at once a confession of wrongdolnG
and a plea for leniency whose weight car
best be judged by those who are familiar
with the circumstances which attended his
downfall
Ono fact, however, is clear: The culprt
in this instance, Win was generally re
garded as one of the brightest and mos
promising OF the younger generation O.
Missouri politicians, has ruined himsel
lonectually by taking part in transaction
where his utmost reward, II he hoped Z
obtain any pocuniary enumeration, mus
have been confined % few dirty dollars
If he had exposed the first attempts a
bribery which came 70 his knowledge IN
outlook before hm to-day would hav
been a very different one. lie might hav
incurred the hostility o. influential part
leaders, but he would hove earned the n
2 spect OF honest men.

Vigilance Committee Needed.

The Dorcas mill has recently con
stI'ucted foot bridge across the Ar
kansas near the band stand in the
river park This is nearly half mile
shorter than by the road, and a
majority of the workmen engaged at
the mill go to and from their work by
the foot bridge route. But while a
majority of the workmen own bicy.
oles they are obliged to make the trip
from and to town on foot, as there is
no one at the river to leave the
wheels in care Of
Wheels ridden there and left during
the day, or night, HI three shifts are
employed, should be rs safe AS one 5
horse tied to some suitable place. and
the bicycle thief should be subject to
the same penalty as the horse thief.
For after man has worked all day,
does not want to walk quart ers
of mile home, when he can just
as well ride his wheel, if there is
any intorced law to protect the owner
of u wheel.
Il. Il. Spencer had occasion to go
to the Dorcas mill yesterday morning
and rode his wheel and left it at
tree fifteen feet from the park end of
the bridge. At $3.50 IN. someone
had stolen it and he had the pleasure
of walking home.
Saturday night someone cut the
rubber tubes off all the bicycles street
pumps of the dealers. We suggest IA
bicycle vigilance committee to take
up and deal with this trust. "
