WANTS GRADE MODIFIED.
Communication With Reference to
Eslin Acknowledging Submitted.

Eslin Avenue-Drawing Submitted.
Leroy C. Morris of 1888 Eslin avenue has
asked of the Commissioners a modification
of the proposed grade of Eslin avenue be-
tween Lamar place and Spring road. He
inclosed a drawing showing the effect
such change would have upon his property
and asks information as to the prospect of
any further change In the future The
writer states that the grade of the curb IL
the approved plans are followed, would be
opposite the center Of his property seven
inches above his terrace and about three
feet below the elevation of his porch floor.
If the curb line should be so situated n
would become necessary for Mr.. Morris to
bury all but five inches of his foundation
wall and close UP the cellar windows in or
der to come up to the proposed grade He
says his yard would have to be given a
fall of one foot from house to pavement
and this would. he AYERS. depreciate both
rental and actual value Of the property He
states he would be the only person dam
aged by the proposed change and he can
not see how the general public can benefit
thereby.
Computing Engineer Hunt has recon-
nended TO the Commissioners that no
change be made in the grade established al
this point. 1t is desired. he states when
the street is finally improved. that the work
be done on straight grade rather: than
With broken grade which its present sur
face is. 1t Is not believed that the writer's
property will be affected to SO serious de-
gree as he seems to apprehend. nor that
the large expense which he describes need
necessarily be incurred.

TIE-UP IN DELAWARE
LITTLE PROSPECT OF ELECTION
OF SENATOR.
Anti-Addicks Faction Fears a CoaH-
ton Which Will Elect Him
for Short Term.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. >

Sperial Dispatch to The Evening Star
LOVER, Del, January 24.-The first week
OF the balloting for senators ends with the
deadlock unbroken. The final votes Of the
week were taken yesterday, the ballots to-
day being merely perfunctory in order to
meet the constitutional requirements.
An analysis Of the situation shows that
the only hope for electing senators lies
either in coalition between the regular re-
publcans and the democrats. Or in the Ad-
dicks men joining with the regulars and
electing one Of this factions nominees with
the expectation that the successful candi-
date would turn in for Addicks at the next
election. A possibility Of the latter deal be-
ing effected Is what is causing the regulars
much worriment, but. to be consistent. they
must support any republican other than
Addicks even though he may be friendly to
the union republican leader.
The Addcks legislators, however continue
to support Addicks for both scholarships
with a constancy that is in keeping with
their paradoxical attitude. Should Addicks
succeed in being elected on the first ballot,
which is for the long term-althOugh there
is no chance of his being elected on any
baliot-the union republicans would be in
a dilemma regarding the selection OF can
didate for the short term. They would. IN
fact, be compelled to delay the joint session
tiles of unprecedented occurrences. as an
outcome Of the long-drawn-out struggle, are
indeed legion.
The action of State Chairman Willard
Salisbury and ex-senator Richard r. Ken
ney. VINO control the democratic situation.
in indorsing the plan Of the twenty-one
democratic legislators to support candi-
dates for the legislature other than them
selves. is source of qualification to demo-
Gratis throughout the state. At their eau
Gus on Monday. prior to the meeting of the
joint assembly, two names will be decided
upon and the selections will be supported
by these legislators unitedly. The demo-
Gratis will act as unit in voting for sena-
tors throughout the session; their caucus
is the place where the contests of pros
pective nominees will be fought out.
Should the coalition plans give evidence of
being effected however. the disposal Of
complimentary bouquets will cease and
the democrats will decide whether Sauls-
bury or Kenney shall be their choice. That
the former would be nominated his friends
In the legislature say there is no doubt
There Is A disposition among the regulars
just now to be more favorably inclined to-
ward coalescng with the democrats, and
the coming week may see developments
along these lines. The anti-Addicks repub-
licans see that it Is again 'Addicks or no
body with the union republicans. and as
the democrats will not vote for two regular
republicans. they realize that a solution
lies in the election of a democrat and
regular to the high offices.

The Chinese Question.

The Chinese question is another subject
upon which business men living In Hawaii
would like to see some action taken.
"Of course. there is an Overwhelming SEN

certainly would be vast benefit to the

To the Letter.

All oriental servants put a strict
construction upon orders. Perhaps
the Hindus may bear off the palm for
excellence in this matter. At any rate,
the experience of an American woman
with her native servant in India last
year shows a praiseworthy readiness
to follow instructions to the letter.
The mistress had instructed her
servant always to put napkin in the
bottom Of the fruit dish or of the cake
basket whenever any of these dishes
were to be brought to the table. From
that time the napkin was never for
gotten.
One day a tureen Of tomato soup was
placed before the woman at the head
of the table. She began to ladle out
the soup when something like the cor
ner of rag was brought to the sur
face. Investigation revealed more of
the disquieting material with the hint
of fringed border.
The servant was called. What Is
this?" he was asked. THAT, men,
sahib," he explained, is the napkin
which you told me always to put In the
bottom Of dishes of this kind before
bringing them to the table. youths

A POOR OUTLOOK.
Demccracy's Msia Prop Knocked
Down by British Statesmen
Of the Cobdea school.

In the light of Mr.. Balfour's Sheffield
speech and the coming adoption of pro-
lection and reciprocity as the economic
policy of Great Britain II Is pertinent to
ask what will become OF the democratic
party In this country? says the Indian
apolis Journal. From time immemorial
free trade has been the party's battle cry
and England the arsenal from whence to
draw Its weapons OF warfare. It has en-
braced and abandoned in turn scores OF
opportunist whims and makeshift poll
cies and has run on after numberless
political vagaries. but It has stuck to free
trade with tenacity that looked almost
like conviction, and has accepted the con-
illusions of British Statesmen OF the Cob
den school much more implicitly than II
has any teaching OF the Bible. Free trade
for more than so years which. when all
the rest were wrecked and shattered, II

the latest and best thing out and the only
thing At to wear. 1t was English, you
know. But with free trade discarded in
England, as It will be in time. put on

fit entirely unsuited to modern times and

of Richard Golden, yet hear Premier
Balfour In his Sheffield speech: "Mr.
Golden" he said. did not forsee the de-
velopments of the last half century which
have made free trade an empty name and
a vain farce" Again, he referred to ex-
listing conditions as "a state of things alb
solutely Inconsistent with free trade as
Golden understood It," He meant the
modern protective system which has
made Cobdenism barren ideality. Again
he said: There has been development
Of which Golden and his contemporaries
never dreamed" meaning the develop
ment of modern commerce. Of which the
democratic party takes no account.
Again Mr.. Balfour said: Our grand
fathers fought the battle of 1876 in view
Of the actual situation. ask the nation
to-day to follow their example and not
to be misled by musty debates" On the
question of free trade the democratic
party lives in the past and does not want
any better guidance than musty debates
rejecting the views of Golden. Yet here
is British premier throwing them all
aside and actually using the sacred name
Of Golden unexpectedly. With Cob
denism repudiated in Great Britain and
free trade disowned in the house of its
friends, what will become of the DEM
ocratic party in this country?

Necessity for Regret..

Once upon time. on winter morn
ing. a tramp in the neighborhood OF
the -Four Hundred" was going from,
house TO house seeking a breakfast.
At the first house he was invited to
clean the snow from the front walk as
condition precedent to the desired
meal. He turned sorrowfully from the
door and called at the next house,
where he had to face similar invita-
tion. So It went from house to house
until the tramp selected a breakfasting
place where the snow had been re-
moved.
