UP 10 THE DEMOCRATS

Some weeks since the Democrats as
serted that they were prepared to elect
a Regular Republican for the long
term in the Senate, and their newspa-
pers made much OF their patriotism. It
was said that their proposition had
been rejected, and the Democratic pa
pers professed to be disgusted with tina
attitude of the Regulars. and assumed
the air Of injured innocence. We knew
that the time would come when the
members would be put on record. and
we felt sure that IL the Democrats had
twenty-one men willing to combine
with the eight Regulars to elect a SEN
ator- they would be given an opportu-
nifty TO make their boast good. That
time has arrived, and it reveals what
has been known TO the Regular Repub-
licans all along-that a few adherents
of willard Salisbury are determined TO
block any movement for the election OF
a senator that does not include the
election of Mr.. Saulsbnry The Kent
and Sussex delegations are solid for the
coalition. A number from New Castle
are with them. but five or six members
from New Castle, all adherents OF Mr.
Salisbury. are preventing the consum-
nation of the plan. IL is well TO be
frank and that is the present status.
It is not for us to urge any coalition
on the Democrats; that is their owl
afiair. but It is our province to let tho
public knew the true state OF affairs
Tho democrats have every inducemenl
. 10 net md 90 act quickly. The Regular
Republicans have given an evidence oI
their purpose to be fair. This weeh
thoy have passed in the House tht
voters assistant repeal bill, notwith-
standing q reluctance on the part oI
two of the Regular Republican mem
bers. We trust they will also pass Il
in the Senate, but we are not certain
of it, These men are human, and the,
may decide not to strain point t6
give the Democrats what they so mucl
uesire, in exchange for indifference. Wa
are emphatic in our contention that the
repecn bin should be passed In the Sen
ate. but when we confront the Demo
cratic position we are not certain tha
it can be guaranteed. SO it appears &
MS that there is no longer amy dcub
that the situation is decidedly up to tn
Democrats.

THE MAYOR STANDING PAT

Mayor Fisher is TO be commended lor
his firm stand in the matter of award
inc the contracts for the removal OF the
city's garbage Council, on the other
hand. has shown deliberate purpose
of favoring certain contractors at the
expense OF the city. The contracts
were awarded to the highest bidders,
although the other bidders offered suf-
fcient bonds for q faithful performance
of their duties. Therefore. the Mayor
had but one course TO pursue-to refuse
to- append mis- signature 20 the con-
tracts.
Then the majority in Council began
maneuyering. They held that the
Mayors signature was not necessary to
make the contracts valid. Then they
sent the bonds Of the contracton to
him for his approval; he declined to
have anything to do with the matter
claiming that a. there were no valid
contracts, there was no need of the exc
cution of bonds. Now Council threat
ems to bring mandamus proceedings tC
compel him TO approve the bonds. This
is we'll: it will allow the whole subjec
to be ventilated, and perhaps we shal
learn why certain persons can secure
contracts. Notwithstanding that the!
are the highest bidders. Stand pat, MI

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
Test for Munps.

An epidemic OF mumps is raging in
this city, and. while to a great extent
IL is prevalent among children, there
are many adults who have contracted
the disease A peculiar thing about
the mumps, said a well-kncwn bust
ness man who had just recovered from
an attack of them TO the Wayfaror sew
eHal days ago is that they are more
serious with grown persons than with
children. Almost every child he said,
has the mumps at one time on other,
and it very seldom bothers them much,
but with an adult it is different A.
grown person, he said, who is unfOrtu-
nate enough to contract the disease
has to remain indoors and be careful
to not catch cold. They suffer much
rain, and it is has often been known
to result serious when the person has
caught cold.
The Wayfarer's informant. who
seemed to be an authority on dhe
mumps, said that a person never has
them on the same side of the face twice
Many children only have them on one
side of their face. and this accounts fOl
them catching them again when older
Persons who have had the mumps
say THAT there Is but one way TO tell il
Is the mumps when the face first starts
to swell This is to take mouthfu
of vinegar. and If you are unable tC
swallow the vinegar You have the dis
ease. An attempt to cat pickles, or, il
fact, anything sour, il is said will an
swcr the Same purpose, as "a person
with the mumps cannot swallow any
thing sour.

Took tho Wrong Grip.

Took the Wrong Grip.
A prominent business man of this
city had an experience recently which
he did not relish. His wife doubted
his love for a time but after an expla-
nation was made the bliss OF married
life again asserted itself IN the home
of the couple. The story as related TO
the Wayfarer Is yOuched for by Penn
sylvania railroad official. whose name
for reasons win be withheld.
About a week ago the prominent
business. man alighted from a north
bound train at the French street depot
and to accommodate himself, as we'll
as desire to ease the work of the
porters and baggage men about the sta
ton, he picked up two grips, and hand
ing over two brass checks started for
home. His wife fondly welcomed him,
and in a short time proceeded TO unpack
the grips.
To her astonishment upon opening
one of the leather cases. she beheld IL
filled with a woman's wearing apparel.
The smile on her face disappeared and
stern look took its place. When the
upsuspecting husband showed up there
was Il warm session for a minute. in
which he took minor role.
After explaining that a mistake had
been made. the business man hastily
boarded car and arriving at the sta
tion was informed that he had taken
the wrong satchel home with him.
A short, stout man, with perspiration
flowing freely from his forehead, had
for some time been searching diligently
for a missing grip and departed from
the depot just before the arrival of
the local business man. lie was noti-
terward, twas easy compared to the re-
covery.
The business man was mildly called
down by am officer Of the company fer
his presumption in picking up grips
from trucks that belonged to other peo-
lple

Ennllsh In the PhIIippInes.

From the Providence Journal
Contrary to the current belief, it ap-
pears THAT the Filipinos are not gener-
ally able to speak the Spanish language
or any other than their own dialects.
AS these vary greatly NO one OF them
can be employed for common medium
OF communication, and experience justi-
hes the first decision to make English
the language OF the schools. Indeed, to
teach the children to read and to write
their own dialects would be of little use
to them, for after they had learned to
do SO. further progress would cease. as
there is no literature for them to study
The knowledge OF the language Of a
civilized nation, on the other hand
would of itself be, to a certain extent
Ia liberal education for these people, af
they would thus have a world of infor-
nation made accessible to them from
which they would otherwise be exclud-
ed. This policy is in marked contrast
with that followed by most European
nations in their oriental possessions and
its results will be watched with inter
est.

The Legislature can never get along
without passing a fow bills to provide

of the public records. We do not see
why the officers in charge Of the sew
raj county offices should not be charged
with this duty. If they are Incompetent
to do this work sbey are incompetcni
to hold their position. What the lay
man wants 10 know iswhy every yeaI
or 80 n part OF his taxes should go to
pay for the services of some aspiring
Gmwyer to make indices? There is some
thing wrong and we think the Legis-
lature should call halt and establish
a proper precedent in this matter There
shauld be some general provision relat-
ting to This matter. Halt it; and look
into It.
