pIcLAWARE
Says the Philadelphia Record:

Says the Philadelphia Record:
The latest indications from Della
ware are that j. Edward Addicks Is as
far as ever from the goal of his ill-di-
rected ambition to possess a seat in the
United States Senate. On the face of
the election returns Addicks has only
twenty-five votes I'm the Legislature
with the erection Of his candidate in
Kent county this week to fll a vacancy.
He must. then. get FIVE more votes
from the Regular Republicans or the
Democrats in the Legislature to secure
his election TO the Senate with another
of the same kidney. Not one Of these
votes can be obtained in fragrant vio-
lation OF the most solemn obligations
to constituents without bribery md
corruption.
A vote of any Regular Republican or
Democratic member for Addicks could
have It's only rational motive in a base
bribe. The moral evidence Of cor
ruptlon at least would be such as to
justify the presentation of the guilty
parties, one and all, before a grand
jury.
"A despotism has been defined as a
government of the one, modified occa-
sionally by assassination and by a
parity OF language a democracy is a
government of the many modified
sometimes by the corruption of their
representatives. But II Is time now
that The people should protect them
selves in their political rights against
such corrupt qualifications of popular
government as are contemplated in
Delaware Should Addicks be elected
TO the United States Senate by the act
of members elected under voluntary
pledges 10 vote against him the inter.
nal evidence OF bribery and corruption
would be sufficient to warrant an in

Privileges and Elections.

AGREAr sroRY

Angus McSweeney, the special Wash
ington correspondent of the North
contributes to that paper
hve-column article in today's Issue on
the Delaware political situation. The
introduction we give herewith. Ex-
tracts of the story proper viii be found
in our news columns:
J. Edward Addicks will not be eect-
ed a senator of the United States from
Delaware by the Legislature which is
TO convene in Dover next Tuesday. A
careful investigation of the situation
warrants the making of this statement
as absolutely as circumstances. pledges
and positive promises can justify. Ac-
cidents and human weakness alone can
make It false But both have to be con-
sidered in connection with Addicks' ef-
forts to steal the State Of Delaware
from the sef-resDecting and honest
citizens.
IL is an understood proposition that
a sum ranging anywhere from $4,000
to $4,000 is dangling before the eyes OF
lany four members of the Legislature
e,ected in opposition TO Addicks, who
twill betray their constituents and vote
i. for the Gasman.
The temUtation offered is a tarribl'
test of the public spirit ara strength
lof character of the members OF th'
? Delaware Legislature. How terrible
leyery poor man may determine forhim

maintained this fight against corrup-
tion in tho state OF Delaware are poor
men. Some Of them are able 90 walk
around a corner without the fear OF
meeting a creditor. but few OF them are
rich and to all OF them the sum Of
$50 900 Is far in excess OF their fondest
dreams of personal prosperity. Seeing
them upon their farms or in their small
stores or i'm law offices, where clients
call but seldom. and then with the
no,nise Of only meaerc fees, it is hard
TO believe they can stand the test which
Mr. Addicks is applying. But many OF
them have already proved themselves
of the highest type OF manhood and
others arrayed in the opposition are
vouched for as possessing as high
degree Of publlc spirit OF honesty
and forceful adherence to the right as
was ever manifested by men in public
office.
History has made glorihed examples
of men who have done ITO more, II as
much. in behalf OF civil liberty and
riaht than these mcn in Delaware who
declare that Addicks shall not represent
the state In the Senate Of the unlted
States. and who assert as positively that

other man with money.

EDITORIAL OPINION
When the Dynamo FaIIed


From the Chicago Chronicle.
There is such a thing as being too
thoroughly up-to-date. This fact was
demonstrated last Thursday. when sew
eral hundred people were thrown into
a panic by the failure of the electric
lights in downtown sky scraper.
The architect who designed the build
ing evidently considered gas lighting
to be obsolete and the building was
dependent entirely upon electricity for
A dynamo broke down
and, save for a few matches that were
In the pockets Of people, there was no
means of making q light. The trouble
lasted half an hour. during which jew
ellers were in a state of alarm and safe
deposit people bolted their customers
into vaults, while visitors to the build
ing groped their way to the street in
terror Of tumbles and Of pichpockets.
The incident seems to demonstrate
that, until electrical machinery shall
have been brought considerably nearer
perfection, il will be wisdom upon the
part of builders to make provision for
az least an occasional gas jet as a safe
guard against conditions like those
which have been recited

From the Baltimore Sun.
Mr.. William Jennings Bryan has just
removed. 1t is stated, to a $4,000 houss,
with twenty-one rooms, built by him
and supplied with all modern luxuries.
There are costly plumbing, electric
light and artistic decoration OF an ex-
pensive character, such as a Wall Street
goldbug would glory in. Cement walks
and fine driveways abound about the
house. which occupies the highest point
near Lincoln. The Colonel IS said 10
be rich. and rapidly growing richer,
being worth si50,000. and enjoying an
income from his paper and other
sources of nearly $4,000. With all his
luxurious and plutocratic surroundings
his breast still beats true, however, to
the cause of the horny-handed sons Of
toll and to the dollar of the dads -
There is no necessary inconsistency be-
tween wealth and true sympathy with
the poor, and Colonel Bryan is probably
as true to his principles as he was
when he was a struggling Congress
man.

matter and the prospect Of liquidating
these claims is remote. Our Levy
