A number of the friends of Lieutenant
Governor Gilbert in the House and Senate
gave him a dinner last night at the Co
lumbia Club. About fifty senators and
representatives were present, and it was
as congenial crowd perhaps as ever sat
down to a board. Clever speeches were
made by Senator Walter Ball, of Muncie,
and Senator Cyrus Z. Davis, of Bloomfield
Merriment ran high while these two ora
tors were speaking. All realized that it
was the wind-up of the Legislature and
everybody was in fine humor to enjoy the
spread. Later in the evening Booth Tark-
ington, Senator Steve Fleming and SEN
ator Ball invited the entire party to June's

UNIONS GROWING RESTLESS

The Every Evening affects TO believe
that there is nothing in the stories to
the effect that certain Union Republi-
cans are dissatisfied with the dictation
of Addicks. We are certain that it is
mistaken. and our news stories today
bear out that fact We know that there
Is a faction of the Union Republican
legislative delegation, comprising al
most half Of it, that would be delighted
to see Addicks withdraw, allowing
either Governor HUM or Attorney-Gen-
eral Ward to be chosen for one place,
and any good Regular Republican for
the other. We know that conferences
have been held by those in sympathy
with this project, at which ways of ef-
fecting the object have been discussed.
But we mention this only to show the
unrest In the Addicks ranks, and TO
demonstrate that in these men there Is
latent manhood which would express
itself If it could. II bears our our state
ment that should Addicks actually
withdraw leaving these men free to
act. il would be a great relief to them
to be able to do the proper thing. But
we agree with the conclusion of the
Every Evening that as long as Addicks
commands these men they will-theN
must obey. They are under such obli-
cations to him that they cannot break
away and defy him. Their condition
is really pitiable; yet we may expect
them to keep a bold front and to meei
all propositions to drop Addicks, with q
smiling face It is 10 state a simple
truth to say that Governor HUM finds
the Addicls' chains CALLING, and that he
has ondeavored I'm many ways TO assert
his independence; but in some manner
Addicks is able to influence him in
every instance when he desires.
The Regular Republicans have only
one course left. They must fight it out
We are not disposed to throw objec'
tions in the way of any honorable com
promise. but we say that a compromise
which would send to the United State
Senate any man who has sold his prin
ciples to Addicks, would not be honor
able. In time either the principles un
derlying the Regular Republican part,
b will triumph or the degraded ideals o
Addicks will prevail Whichever win
win be dominant for many years, AM
when the party reconstruction comes,
D must be on a substantial foundation.

SPEEDY HORSES OUT
ON THE SNOW PATH
Park Drive the Mecca for
Sleighers-Many Exciting
Races the Result

Wilmington has taken advantage OF
the good sleighing, and crowds can be
seen along the best roads and streets.
The intense cold has kept many indoors.
The park drive is where most of the
fast ones can be found, and several
brushes were the result. The turn
pixies near the city are too rough for
good sleighing, and almost everyone
went to the park, which fairly tingled
with the sleighbells. There were all
sorts of rigs, from a dry goods box on
runners to the most expensive cutten
Some Of those seen out with their fast
horses were S. II. Wilson. Jr.. driving
Zeb; w. S. Tanguey, driving Jesse
Wood: Richard Greenfield was seen
pulling the ribbons over Dewey Rus
sell: Harry Stoeckle had his pair OF
bays out and was throwing snow in
front of many Of them; Park Postlea
was driving Harie; George Hume was
seen getting speed out of Hannah d.
on the upper drive; An. Rice, with Will
mington Boy in the shafts, was making
il lively for many who tried to pass
him. Arthur Garrett had Charlie Al
Il
ont and was doing some lively stunts;
e. p. Moody and James P. Winchestei
seemed to be enjoying the taking OF the
unwary by surprise and going past then

roRGAs INsPEcTIoN

Certain of our readers have entirely
misconstrued our remarks concerning
the two gas bills now before the Legis-
lature (Remarks about gas bills are
apt to be more forceful than elegant
We do not wish to be misunderstood or
misinterpreted, for we are assured that
our contention is based on reason and
common honesty.
We say that good article of illumin-
atinr gas is worth one dollar per thous-
and feet. We do not base this asser-
ton upon expert knowledge, but upon
the market price The average price
in cities of this size, or of any size, is
considerably in advance of dollar No
city of which we have any knowledge
has gas furnished for less. It is a
clear case of revenge, and we know that
Addicks threatened to take this course
prior TO the election.
But we do favor official gas inspec-
tion. There should be someone to stand
between the company and the people.
There are always chronic kickers, and
an inspector could put a quietus- on
these. Many complaints are doubtless
well-founded. and If the company s
word may be taken, il would welcome
official notice Of any abuses that it
might correct them. So we think the
interests of all parties concerned would
be protected by an official inspector
In our opinion this officer should he
the plumbing inspector. The duties OF
,both positions would be such that an
expert in one branch would be an ex-
pert in the other. Il would avoid the
duplication of offices. and the payment
of another salary The plumbing in
spoctor could attend to the duties, ano
while he should have an increase in
salary. it need not be large Besides
this. the present plumbing inspector Is
a thoroughly honest and capable man
and ere,he put in charge Of the work
efficiency would be assured. We cannot
expect gas for less than a dollar, bu
If anyone doubts the correctness of bills
or questions the quality of the gas, {
good official could soon correct the mat
ter. II our position is not sound, w
trust that our readers will point out on
errors.

"This Snap"

A week ago they told us.
When the sun was shining bright.
The winters back was broken
And soon we'd have a sight
OF the bursting buds OF flowers.
And hear the bJuebirds sing,
For the sun, they said, was a harIbin-
ger.
A harIbinger of spring.
But what OF this blooming blizzard,
And the weather all Trapped.
And the ice and the snow, and the
shivers.
And the sunshine gone to shade,
And the furs. and the wraps, and the
blankets.
And the white snowed-under town
And the jingling of the sseighbells,
And the dazzling Frost Kings crown
And the swipe of the sweeper's shovel
And the creak of the turning wheel
And the piles of white in the gutter
And the clang Of the skaters steel
Where are the buds of flowers.
And where do the blmebirds sing?
Oh.
Say,
DO they call this snap "a harbinger,
A harbinger of spring?

CROSSING AT GRADE

An express train on a down grade
and an electric car on down grade, the
latter approaching the former at right
angles-instant death and manning.
This is the story Of the Newark disaster
Of yesterday. The gates were down,
and the motorman tried to stop his car,
but the ice on the rails turned it into a
toboggan that shot into Une rushing
express, carrying its load OF passengers
to death. 1t is horrible to contemplate,
and il seems that human foresight
should have avoided the possibility of
such a catastrophe. II is TO court dis
aster to allow electric cars to cross rail-
read tracks at grade, but to allow this
wnen the junction is at the bottom OF
hill looks like criminal neglect.
Il has been demonstrated again and
again that there is always the possibil.
ity of cars becoming unmanagable on
steep grades. There may be ice on the
rails or the brakes may refuse to work
It will be remembered that about year
ago a Wilmington car becoming un.
Manageable, went shooting down Market
street, leaving the tracks at the curve
and plunging forward towards the rail
road. Had The tracks crossed at thai
point an awful slaughter might hav,
occurred. Crossing at grade is alway.
dangerous, but TO allow it in a large cit,
like Newark looks like criminal negli
gence.

of the customs borrowed from mon
archical courts. The Washingtonians,
it would appear, have become quite ale

story of the total disruption of young

ess had received a telephOned invita-
ton from the White House to come
over for sciable afternoon with a
member of the White House family.

A committee of the Legislature was

which is desired for improvements.
Representatives Tyre and Holcomb

to see the large party at a midwinter
luncheon in the building far out into
the ocean. The Legislators were also
the guests of the Lewes Board of Trade
at a banquet at night.
AT both of these towns they were
royalty received and entertained by
committees. After the luncheon the
Legislators we're conveyed in hacks,
decorate dwith American flags, to the
Life Saving station.

tertained by this committee: Charles
