WASHINGTON LETTER.

The special session of the Senate of
Fifty eighth Congress has adjourned
sine die after having ratified both the
Panama AID the Cuban treaties and
the Pi esldent has expressed himself as
satisfied with the work of the session.
Nevertheless, there is grave doubt in
the many friends of both treaties as to
their future. In the case of the Cuban
treaty it has been amended in several
instances and one, at least, Of these
amendments seriously jeopardizes the
success of The agreement. This is the
Bacon amendment which provides that
the treaty shall gointo effect only when
approved by the Congress. The
question is now raised, Can an ex-
changed of ratification be made when
the ratification of the Senate is of so
equivical character and depends, for
its ultimate settlement, on the action
of both houses of Congress at the next
session? 1t is certain that there can
be no reciprocity with Cuba until late
in the next session and in the opinion
of many competent judges the House
will mend the treaty and thus pre-
cIpitate of general discussion and con-
test which will mean the defeat of the
entire project.
1t is frankly admitted that the Presi-
dent is seriously disappointed at the
failure of the Senate to confirm or re-
ject hisnominations Of William Michael
Byrne for United States Attorney for
Delaware and Dr. Crum for Collector
Of the Port of Charleston, S. c. Both

THE semi-annual statement of

THE semi-annual statement of
the Kent County Regular Republi-
can Committee, has been issued.
It declares allegiance to the prin-
ciples of the National Republican
party :" begins harmony" with a
small "h," and winds up with a de-
nunciation of Mr.. Addicks and the
Voters Assistant Law. The ef-
forts of the Kent Regulars at the
last election, to defeat the county
Republican ticket and their en-
deavors at coalition, with the Dem
ocrats, during the Senatorial fight,
should make it necessary for them
TO go before a justice-of-the-peace
and take an oath before their allie
glance to Republican principles
can be accepted. In the desire for
harmony, the welfare of the party
has never been considered; it has
always been a question of how
much, in the way of Office, should
be the share Of the Regulars. The
denunciation of Mr.. Addicks and
the Voters Assistant Law is moth
ing but hypocrisy, an announce
ment of the holier than thou kind,
to the world. 1t looks as if the
editor of the Evening Journal"
loaned the committee the use of
his brain.

termined to placed the onus of the ap-
pointments on Mr.. Roosevelt. Taking
the past session as whole, there is good
ground for the belief that Mr Roose-
welt was very shabbily treated by the
leaders of his own party. From the

RIGHT is not always wholly
right, and wrong is not always
wholly wrong. There are extenu-
ating circumstances and frequent
explanations that may be intro
duced to support a cause, and to ex-
plain and modify the circumstan-
ces Of the subject, without using
deceit or having hypocrisy about
it.
In 1897 with peculiar forethought
and particular foresight, the legis-
lature enacted into law, an act for
righteousness and malice afore-
thought that has seldom been equal
led, in that it abrogated the ancient
and dinalienabler right of a free people
to choose theiro own election officers.
The act required the county com
mittees of the Democratic" and
Republican" party to name the
election officers; naming each of
the above named parties specif-
ically, and thus leaving the Union
Republicans without any represen-
tation in any election board of the
State; Notwithstanding the Union
Republican party is the dominant
party in Delaware. It was especi-
ally grievous and onerous on the
Unions of Kent and Sussex coun-
ties; for the reason, that they were
the majority party in those two
counties, to be denied the ancient
and inalienable right of choosing
their own election officers for
Judges and clerks of elections, asI
would seem to be fair to any fair
minded and unprejudiced person,
instead of having election officers
wholly opposed to the dominant
party. Such are the facts of the
case.
Now comes the question of how
wrong could be righted. The Union
Republicans have never vet had
enough votes in the General As
sembly to repeal this obnoxious
and oppressive law; oppressive and
obnoxious in that in the voting
places in Kent and Sussex coun-
ties, a few men, in open rebellion to
the party, have been the ones to
select election officers; and only /
those from their number could be
selected; and, heretofore they have
only acted in conjunction with the
Democratic members of such |
boards. To relieve this intolerableI
condition, and to assist voters in
their ballots, the Voters
Assistant Law was enacted.
Previous to its enactment, fully
twenty-five per cent of all split
ballots were thrown out as spoiled,
and under this law there has been
less than FIVE per cent of spoiled
ballots, and the Union Republican
party has had representation in
the election boards; or, at least, in
the election room.
If the Governor should approve
The repeater enacted by the late
General Assembly, the party that
cast a majority of the votes in the
State election last held i'll Della
ware, would have absolutely no
representation in any election board.
If any thing is done, repeal the
whole system from the beginning
out as the system is in no danger
IF repeal, then let the repeater die.
Better endure the ills we have, than
ly to those we know not of. So
ct the repeater die.

BY common consent the federal
patronage is to be divided between
Senators Alice and Ball. This is
perfectly proper, and meets with the
approval of most Republicans
throughout the State The Union
Republican party being fully two
thirds Of the Republican strength
of Delaware, it is right and proper
that Senator Alice should control
the appointments for the two lower
counties. and share equally with
appointments that run through the
State. So far this arrangement has
worked satisfactory, and the agree
ment has been lived up to on the
part Of Senator Alice, who has kept
every agreement by making no OBJ
lection to any appointee named by
Senator Ball. Probably it would
not be fair to charge that Senator
Ball has not kept faith on his part !;
but the failure of the Senate to con-
firm William Michael Byrne as
United States District Attorney for
Delaware, is a cause for many to ash
of Senator Ball the reason why that
confirmation failed, and the Presi-
dent be compelled to again appoint
Mr.. Byrne to serve until the next
session of Congress convenes. Sen
ator Alice reflects the policy of the
Union Republican party by keeping
all promises and dealing fair. His
appointments to the various post
Offices proves this.an his record in
the Senate of the United States will
be a credit to Delaware and an
honor to himself. In the Legisla-
ture of Delaware Senator Alice was
by odds the strongest member in
either branch and his removal from
it was welcomed by the Democratic
side of the Senate. Had he have
remained until the close of the ses-
sion, the increased allowances to
lawyers, and to other measures of
similar merit, would not have passed
through the joint claims committee;
while the Democratic onslaught led
by Senator McNulty would not have
stampeded the Senators of the Re
publican side in open session, into
being led into trap which did not
cut down an allowance to one sin
gle Democrat or of one Regular"
Republican; but on the contrary,
cut out appropriations and le-
gitimate bills for advertising and
Job printing of others done for the
State during the past two years.
Senator Alice was always prepared
TO meet political attacks Of this
character and see that justice was
done. His experience was valua-
pie to the State in protecting its
interests, and to his party by pro-
tectiug the rights of its friends.
