The Delaware senatorshln.

FROM the Philadelphia Record.
Addicks has withdrawn from the
senatorial contest He is panied at the
disocrd in the party. and he is willing
to sacrifice himself for the present, in
the interest OF harmony He modestly
regards himself as the cause of Repub-
licdn successes in the State in recent
years, but he finds that uncharitab,e
persons attribute The party discords TO
his senatorial ambition, and he with
C.aws from the race during this legis-
lative session.
His appetite for harmony has been
sharpened by two incidents. One is the
rejection OF Byrne by the Senate Judi
ciagy Committee. With the Senate
against him he couldn't get much pa
utDage even if the President stood by
him, and without patronage Addicks
flight would be short ON account Of a
broken wing When his wires to Wash

mittee he was in an evil case lmme-

Il was evidently time for Addicl1
to act. His base of supplies had bee
cut off by the Judiciary Committee
and his enemies were liable to unit
and elect two senators. who would b
equally antagonisic to him. His pc
litlcal future looked dark SO he ha
withdrawn with a condition that wi

II he hopes to put the Regular Re-

OF the man who has sought TO debauch
Delaware by the wholesale purchase Of

to eliminate him from Delaware poll
ties is to form an alliance with honest

SONS To- think that the best and surest
way, since IL means the repeal of his
law for the promotion of bribery-then
the Republicans of other States will be
glad TO see that course taken. The long
and sturdy fight for honesty by the
Regulars of Delaware has commanded
general admiration and whatever steps
they ind IL necessary to take to save
their State from disgrace will be APP
proved by the sentiment of the party.
{ In the last ttvo procfdnnffa1 p1oo4iore
Democrats were honored for putting
their country above party. The Repub-
licans OF Delaware will be equally hon
ored for putting honesty above party
and joining hands with the Democrats
Tor the welfare Of their State. Ten
times better an alliance with honest
Democrats than an alliance with an Ad-
dicks who uses the name OF Republican
only as an instrument Of corruption and
lselfishness.

The Philadelphia Record speaks as

The voters assistant is the checking
clerk of the vote buyer. Secrecy Of the

was procured to promote the bribery OF

It is a matter of so much importance
lhat we trust the session will not be al
lowed to pass without repeating thu

From the New York Mail and Express.
We confess to our amazoment that
President Roosevelt should insist rOon
the confirmation of his appointment OF
Addicks' man Byrnc as United 5laic5
District in Delaware. IL was an as
founding piece of nCWs in the irst in
stance some months ago that Theodore
Roosevelt would appoint such a man,
in view OF his reiterated declaral ons
against unfit men for public office; and
when the press of 1he country by its
unaLimous protest against surren-
der OF federal patronage to Addicks
provoked an explanation by. the Pres
ident that was really an apology we
shared the common belief that the
President was through flirting vito
Addicks and his gang.
II now appears that this belief was
not well founded. Though the Senate

able Senator Hcar at its head. has re-
jected Byrne the President refuses TO

We understand that a bin is being
drawn which win be presented to the
Legislature authorizing the issuance of
bonds to the amount Of a half million
dollars for the use Of the Water Board.
u Is not yet known whether the board
has consented to this action, but it is
perfectly clear that it has no needs re-
quiring such a sum of money at the
present time. or that it will require il
in the immediate future.
Those who understand the plans and
purposes of the Water Commission say
that it can take care of all Of its repairs
and the necessary improvements, and
push the work on the new reservoir, out
of the receipts of the department, with
out borrowing a penny. They insist
that this can be done for at least two
years, and that by that time there will
be another legislature to consider any
needs that may present themselves.
It will take probably six months, at
least to prepare the plans and make all
the preliminary arrangements, and not
a great deal Of money will be required
for the. first year. The department
took in during the month of January in
water rents $4,000 and from meters
| about $4,000. 1t Is estimated THAT af.
ter all necessary expenses, including ex.
tensions and repairs are allowed, the
department will have a surplus of about
$4,000 this year to apply to the worl
Of the new reservoir. Probably al
equal amount could be counted on 70
