easman No Longer.

From the Delaware Democrat.
Addicks has lost in his great fight to
prevent the sale of the collaterals un-
derlying the Boston United Gas bonds.
They were sold for eleven million dol
lars TO the only firm bidding, who will
reorganize the companies and leave
Addicks out in the cold.
There has been a great deal of liti-
cation in the matter and both sides
have fought hard, but the end has ccme
at last. 1t IS not known what will be-
come of the Delaware company when
the wind-up comes, but it is safe to as
sumo that all were connected together
i'm such a way that the failure of the
Boston companies will mean the failure
of all.
He will no longer have the gas stock
to conjure with and his title of Gas
King is gone What effect this will have
upon his political prospects here re-
mains to be seen, but it is fair to pre-
sumo that they will be lessened
thereby.

Things May Happen.
Sussex Republican.

From the Sussex Republican.
Delaware indeed is rapidly moving
from independence of a free State to
dependency of Addicks. He has nomi-
mated a first citizen thus early and no
doubt he hopes to clothe him in royal
purple and place him in full charge of
this principality when it becomes Ad-
diclSsonia. What a fate would be Della
wares with such gang i'm full control
of the state. Led by this carpetbagger
who dares to insult the decent people
Of the State by holding Frank Alice up
as the first citizen of the Statel His
election to the Senate would be a small
evil in comparison to the evils that
would befall the state if ever turned
over to Addicks' grafters. Fortunate it
is that such possible fate is delayed
at least two years and "a good many
things may happen in that time.

Stories From Here and There
Wanted aThev Stricken out.

AS an editor Horace Greeley had be-
come weary of the constant repetition
of the word "the" in the opening SEN
tences. One issue Of his paper in par
ticular exasperated him. Almost every
item had its opening paragraph be-
gin with "the" This lack of judgment
on the part OF his writer's in the choice
of words received attention. Greeley
wrote a note This notice he requested
to be posted in the editorial room, and
caused copies of it to be sent to CORE
spondents. The order read:
"Under no circumstances must the
word the be used in the opening or
subsequent paragraphs OF a news ar
ticle. In sentences within a paragraph
it will be tolerated with moderation.
If you cannot write a paragraph with
out the to open it, omit"
One day, shortly after the issuance Of
his new rule, Greeley entered the edi-
torial room in a fury.
How is it that we have nothing in
today's paper regarding Hollands at
titude toward the policy of the North p
he asked of his editor who had charge
Of the foreign news.
This editor WAS aware that he haC
omitted an important news item which
at the time he considered as unimport,
ant. But he was resourceful.
your rules and orders are positive
Mr.. Greeley, are they not?" asked th'
editor.
Certainly" shouted the famous
scribbler.
"Then tell me how I could have use,
The Hague for the date line in th'
Holland dispatch without violating
your positive order?"
Mr.. Greeley was beaten, but he nut
tered. IF you fellows could use judg
ment there would be no need for rules.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
"Aotion Is Required"

To the Editor Of the Evening Journal.
Sir: | wish TO commend your editor
ial. Action is Required in your is
sue of Friday last. In my Judgment
you have hit the nail squarely on the
head, and l am quite sure you express |
the sentiment which prevails in minds
of Republicans here.
Should the Legislature adjourn with
out the election of one, or two United
States Senators, our organization would
be much weakened, if not demoralized
and the Republican members will bel
held responsible for such failure.
While it is regretably true that Kent
nor Sussex definitely contributed to the
membership, il is also true that they
have direct interest in the acts of the
members of our party from New Castle
county and look to them for substantial
results.
We desire the election of two senR-
tors, preferably Republican, but are not
uncompromisingly averse TO one Demo-
Iorat, and do not see that more harm
lwould result to our party in selection
of Democrat than in selection of a
Union Republican as one of the sena-
tors.
The eight true men we have to rep
resent us should, | think, be able "a
effect practical results. The two who
have betrayed us, or who are supposet
{ to be ready to do so, should not longei
B be coquetted with by our party. Thes
e lare practically without a party, having
, forfeited all respect and confidence o
all three of the parties They are tn
d Judases of our politics and we hav
+ ceased to count them, or expect an
III good from them. We tire CTyre) O
d those who hold that everyone has hi
, lprice (Price).
The eight should settle down TO busi
ness and by practical combination
Is produce results, both in election Of ser
l. ators and in repeal of voters assistar
e act
4 These results viii infuse new life int

le suits, but as session draws to a close "

the officials only are aware Of the |
full details of the contest while the
audience from an immense distance on
the side lines sees only the general re-
suits. on at most an occasional bril-
liant play.
Another reason fer the popularity Of
baseball is that the personality of the
player is always preserved. There are
no mass plays, but the spectator isl
able to watch. and know almost with
the certainty of the umpire just what
favorite is doing. And it is a pleas
ure to reward him with hurst Of apA
plause, to receive in return a grateful
smile while he doffs his cap.
The spectator has but one fault to
Gnd with the game: there is not
enough base-running. Year by year
we watch the batteries do il all. A game
may be scientifically perfect With not
a runner on the bases. However. we
admire the science OF the man in the
box who sends forth "upshoots,
= necktes' and 'grapevines," yet We
! wish that the rules were such as to ad-
e. nit of more action in the field. Nine
/ men, two OF them doing it all, is al
: ordinary occurrence.
a From time to time the rules relatn,
t to pitchers have been changed, the oh
j. ject being TO give the man at the ba
= a chance. At one time the pitcher
D box was but fifty feet from the HON
II plate;nc it is sixty. Rules have bee
# made requiring a certain position whe
, the bail is delivered. but the pitche
keeps right on putting out the creates
number at the bat 1t has been urge
that four strikes should be alloWe
y and that three balls should entiue u
e batter to take his base. but as III
J. would put an extra task upon the pitci
S 9er. besides prolonging the game. Il
Is suggestion is not likely to be adJpte
le ANY plan that would insure more bas
u running would add to the game q
10 one element it needs.

General Miles has returned to
America after having made tour Of
the world. For FIVE months every
thing has run smoothly while the head
of our Army was exhibiting the latest
STYLES Of American Tailoring. His
travels were not altogether purpose
less. He attended great banquet at
Manila thus impressing the Filipino
with the necessity of peace. He estab-
lished cordial relations with China
going to the length OF informing the
Dowager Empress that she was a great
er ruler than Victoria Later he dineC
alone with King Edward, leaving Mrs
MILES at home, and presumably thei
confidential chat did not include eithe
Victoria or Mrs. Miles. Grant made
tour Of the world, winning the favo
ct all foreign potentates; he probabl
did not foresee that another grea
American general was to.follow in hi
footsteps. There is a difference q
course. but as General Miles probabl
does not see il. it would not be a gra
cious act TO point it out.

he Dover DelaWarran.

From the Dover Delawarean.
Tho Democratic members of the Leg
islature should not forget that grave
public duty rests upon them. The re-
cent course of the Regulars, in some re-
spects, is unfortunate, but the fact does
not absolve Democrats from their duty
nor lessen their obligation to their
party and State. They certainly must
agree that from a purely party stand
point, even if all the grounds are ig-
nored, il is important to diminish the
power of Mr.. Addicks in Delaware poll
tics and TO strengthen the hands of all
opponents Of the Union Republican
party. For several years things have
been going from bad to worse, and ii
takes no prophet to foretel whaf
would be the result of an election il
this state if held right now. Party in.
terest and public duty are to be con
sidered.

Prom the Lewes Pilot
Senator Brasure has given notice of
an act making it unlawful for judges Of
our state courts to accept passes from
the railroad companies We had not
thought of IL before, but the Legislature
IN making such a law might do a public
service. OF course it is right and proper
for the members themselves to accept
passes for they, without exception, are
too noble to be influenced by the gift Of
transportation. How fortunate we are
in having such guardians for the MEM

A SEALED CHAPTER

Upon the Regular Republican mem
bers OF the Legislature rests q great
responsibility. They have had to meet
conditions as they arose. In Offering
to elect one Union Republican and one
Regular Republican to the Senate, con-
ditloned upon the elimination Of Ad-
dicks. they have met with considerable
criticism. Had they entered into any
ether arrangement without first maxi
ing this tender, criticism would have
co1m from other quarters. AS long as
they can satisfy the demands of poliu-
cal expediency while maintaining their
own self-respect and protecting the
State from disgrace they probably
feel that they are obliged to do so. II
the time has come when they must for
get all else in their duties OF citizen
ship. we believe they viii rise to the
occasion.
AT all critical moments j. Edward
Addicks has helped the best citizens of
Delaware in their struggle for decency
and independence. This crisis has
proved to he no exception. BY his bri'-
tality and egotism he has again made
any coalition with him CT with his
creatures impossible AT a time when
the Regular Republicans were strain
ing every points in order to cement
all factions known as Republican. h'
comes forth with an insulting and asi
nine pronunciamento which makes
p impossible for any honorable man Z
negotiate further with him or wit
those who have no object save to regis
ter his viii. Like a whining schoolboy
Addicks says II shan't play unless
am IA and If don't play, nobody els
.shall"
So that is ended. and whether th
Regular Republicans We're wise in thei
late tender or not. certain things hay
been proved. and this may be regarde
as o sealed chapter not again to be II
verted to. Now for the future If ~
mistake not the sentiment Of the PEI
pie. It is emphatlcally for the elecu'
Of two senators. and all efforts shoa
now be bent to that accomplishmeI
1t viii require patriotism and bac
bone, and the Democrats will now ha
an opportunity OF showing those lof
sentiments which they claim are The
guide and inspiration.

ANOTHER uLTIMAruNI

j. Edward Addlcks ISSUED anOlhol
pronunciamento last night 1t would
be astounding only we are used TO
such startling announcements.
Addicks signs his article with his
own initials. and this In substance is
what he has to say Of himself:
If the Regulars will walk into my
parlor they may help elect two sena-
tors "as near to Mr.. Addicks as possi-
BILE That is. they must be as corrupt
as he is, as contemptuous of public de-
cency, as deficient in morals; then they,
will be acceptable. Does this look as
though Addicks had withdrawn? The
second option is for each party to elect
senator Of its own choice, in which
case he says: "Air. Addicks will be the
choice of the Union Republicans" How
does he know? Why, just as the owner
Of a MULE knows whether the animal
will pull a p,ow or draw a cart Oh,
he knows.
Then he admits the possibility Of the
democrats joining with the Regulars,
hat says with much emphasis: After
us the deluge' lie might have placed
an exclamation point after it, but h'
didn't He might have had the delug'
earlier, for 1t was only by deuge o
Boston bank bills that Addicks go
even a right TO make public ass 10
Ihimself
Then he takes a dip into the future
But just how lcng in the future hi
presence viii gsace Delaware only tn
angels know; but he says that no ma
d who refused to vote for J. Edward AID
b dicks in the Legislature will ever be a.
e lowed to hold office in Delaware Hol
b rible threat 1t is based ON the pr'
n sumption that Addieks shall continc

C. stocks and to reap a harvest Whi
< modest little chap he is! He says
re the voters OF Delaware: "You mu
-y never, oh, never, vote for any man wi
ir has not voted for me- Oh, consumil
modestyl
He follows this with the stateme
to in bold type that he proposes TO non
OF nate "a straight ticket in this city al
v throughout the State in the long
ad mre" So we have It; a straight ticl
Est to be elected by crooked means
