IMMTGRANTs WANTED

A bill will probably be introduced at
this session OF the Legislature which will
have for its object the bringing Of desir-
able immigrants to this State.
The plan proposed is to give the State
Board OF Agriculture an appropriation
sufficient to enable it to briag the claims
OF Delaware as farming district to the
attention Of desirable people in foreign
countries. 1t is not proposed to give
them free land but to bring the attention
Of these people to the merits Of Delaware
lands and the prices for which it can be
purchased.
Delaware has many acres OF cheap
farming land, which is exactly what de-
sired By tie better class Of immigrants
from Germany, Holland and other Euro
pean- countries.
Maryland has recently made efforts to
secure immigrants III the same manner
and has been successful.

MoLAssEs FOR HORSE FOOD

A dispatch from Hagerstown, Md,
says that if an experiment which is now
being tried in that city by DR.. C. p.
Smith & Bros, veterinary surgeons,
proves successful, molasses win become
staple food for horses and take the
place Of oats. A few days ago the yeteri-
narians commenced feeding their horses
molasses, and at first they refused to take
II but sparingly. Finally they grew to
like the sweet, and now eat it with as
much relish ~ oats or any other feed.
Each horse is given quart Of pure New
Orleans molasses to every ten pounds
cut hay. In addition to being better
food, the molasses saves 35s per cent. in
the cost. The idea came from Porto
Rico, where the natives feed their horses
on grass mixed with molasses. The ami
mails, it is said, are able to endure
greater hardships.

HICKS MARCH PREDICTIONS

The first stormperiod for March, says
Hicks, will be central on the 4th, extend
ing from the I'd to 7th. Storms of rain,
with lightning and thunder will develop
in western and southern sections, while
in the northern section the rain will turn
to sleet and snow, with cold winds and
freezing weather.
The second storm period is central on
the 9th and 10th. Cloudiness and storms
of wind and rain will occur at this time.
The full moon on the celestial equator on
the 18th will draw the existing distur-
Dances into the storm period central on
the 10Th. This third period extends from
the 18th to the 10Th, falling at a time
when it will get the full force of the YER
nal equinox. Rain and thunder storms
will visit many interior localities and a
counter storm will come out ofthe north
west, changing the rain to snow and ice,
with possible one Of the biggest billiards
OF the season.
The reaetionary period, from 10th to
22d, will most likely bring violent storms
and tempests. Snow drifts, blockades
and high, cold gales from the northwest
will be some OF the things to encounter
during these equinoctial storms.
The last storm period in March will be
central on the 9th, covering the 25th to
30th. We will name Friday. Saturday
and Sunday, the 9th, 2Sth and 29th, as
the central days Of danger period.
Among the phenomena probably at this
time, earthquakes and volcanic distur.
Dances may be enumerated. Violent gull
and ocean cyclones, with phenomenal
tides, will be most natural. Thunder
storms, high winds and possible tornados
are among the probabilities for many in
land regions, especially in the Southern
and Central States.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
What the Law Makers Have Been Doing
This Week

The Senate has adopted substitute re-
solution on final adjournment. Senator
Harrington's resolution proposed March
18th as the date. Senator Sparks sub
stitute was adopted fixing March 18th as
the final day. Alllegislative business by
the two Houses is to be completed at
noon on March 18th, the rest of the time
to be open for the signing Of bills and
cleaning up work.
The Senate has concurred in the House
bill appropriating $4,000 to be divided
equally between the three counties for
the colored schools OF the State by the
vote OF 8 to z. An amendment offered
by Senator Jefferson to divide this ap-
preparation equally between the white
and colored schools Of the State was lost
by the strict party vote of to 9, !. y.
Moore being absent.
Senator Sparks bill entitled an Act
for the Protection of Minors has, been
killed. The bill provided that whose
ever sells or gives away to, minor under
the age of IA years an air gun, rifle gun,
shot gun, revolver or any other frearm,
knowingly permits it to be OF access or
used by such minor, shall be deemed

The House has adopted the joint rtso-
luton naming Governor HUM, Attorney

Bates as the Commission on the part OF
Delaware to confer with similar New
Jersey Commission with reference to a
proposed settlement of the controversy
between the two States over territorial
jurisdiction in the Delaware river within
the 12-mile circle. Some members OF the
House objected to the adoption OF the
resolution in its original form, and wished
the Commission prevented from con-
ceding any territory short Of the low
water mark on the Jersey shore, the
territory over which Delaware claims
Jurisdiction.
Only one of the four Good Roads bills
has been reported favorably by the COM
mites on public highways. This bill is
House Bill No. l. Representative Tyres
bill.

shall appoint annually three competent
persons who shall serve as the "Dela-
ware Highway Commissioners" They

pensation the sum Of 81, 200 and shall be

TROUBLE AT FARNHURsT

AS appears from an article in
another column, the Trustees of
the State Hospital for the Insane
have been requested by Superin-
dent Hanckgr to Investigate
charges made by the former As
sistant Superintendent, Curtin,
rejecting upon his personal con-
duct as well as his official charac-
ter. The Trustees tabled the
application of DR.. Curtin for re-
instatement and neglected to ap-
point committee to look into
charges. DR.. Hancker cannot af-
ford, nor can the Trustees, to
have the matter remain in this
state. The people have not for
gotten the disclosures of a few
years ago, and they remember
that the trouble at that time was
brought to light, not BY the
officials but by q newspaper re-
porter, posing as "Lord De La
Ware. " They also remember
that when the story was first
published, it was treated in much
the same manner as this. We
do not want to believe that the
charges as made by DR.. Curtin
are true, but the fact that more
than three hundred poor nm
fortunates. the wards Of the
State, are penned mp in this in
stitutioh, should urge the Trus-
tees to make the fullest inves-
fioation. And If there is one,
arery attendant should be as

DELAWARE w0MEN's WAR AGAINST
ADDICKS

Romantic Story Of Thwarted Social Ambi-
tion in Next Sundays North American
The "Addicks fight was also wo-
mans fight.
Did you know that? Perhaps not, for
few people have recognized the power Of
the high born women Of Delaware in this
long-drawn-out contest.
But that women have carried on the
fight and have won all the honors SO far
won against the man who would break
into the United States Senate through
Delaware's door, will be shown in
timely and unusually interesting page
story in the Sunday North American
next Sunday. The photographs Of the
women warriors will be given, and the
part each has played will be told in de-
TAIL
The women of Delaware have been
fighting such battle for years. The
war against Addicks has been, and still
il, war against the social recognition Of
Mrs. Addicks No. 2, who was Mrs. Ida Carr
Wilson, who in turn was Miss Ida Carr.
A coterie of women who love the State
because they we're born in it of sires
whose sires fought its battles generations
ago; who rule its social world as their
mothers and their grandmothers ruled it
before them, have supplied the moral
force which has kept the men in line.
It is story which reads like tale
from French history.
These well-born women of Delaware
lave been the implacable foes Of Addicks
and a woman's ambition. They have
carried on their fight in a way which
makes as romantic and thrilling tale as
any in which the favorites Of the French
courts figured. And they haye-Won?
The tale is not yet done.
But as far as it has gone it is one of
consuming interest.
The Sunday North 4merican of next
Sunday, March Sth, will tell this story
for the first time as it was told to its
special correspondent by the women who
have figured in its making. In language
unmistakably plain it will give the inside
history Of Addicks fight, which is fight
of Amazons.

rwo REPUBLICAN, SENATORS

When it came it was a surprise.
All Republicans have longed for
Ii for years, many had lost faith
and almost abandoned hope OF
such and outcome, and q few
have openly advocated q co-ah-
tion with ID g mocrats. THE
TRANSCRIPT has opposed this
scheme. We have alwaysbelieved
that the time would come when
sober sense rather than factlonal
spirit would resume control OF
the General Assembly, and our
belief has been amply rewarded.
Just what influences were ex-
erted to secure the positive with
drawal of Mr.. Addicks are known
to only those few who were pre-
sent at the memorable conference
held in Philadelphia last Satur-
day. It is probable that there
were several strong arguments
presented, and none could be
stronger than the fact that there
were in the present Legislature
several Union Republicans who
we're in favor of "two senators,
even if one of them were not
Addicks." The strength of the
Union Republicans has been in
the solid front maintained by the
mem bers of that faction in the
legislature. For two entire ses-
sions and for thirty-tive ballots,
no Union Republican vote had
been cast except for ]. Edward
Addicks. It was plainly evident
that he could not be elected, and
it was possible if not probable,
that at least one Regular Repub-
lican would be chosen by the CO.
alition of. Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. Ii a break in the Union
Republican lines we're once
made, that faction would be in a
measure short Of its strength.
This with other pressure prob
ably brought the happy compro-
mise.
Of the two senators, both are
so well known that it is almost
useless to write. Senator Ball
has been the leader for four years
of the Regular Republican or
ganization in this county and has
made it what it is. His defeat
at the last election for a second
term as Representative in Con-
gress made him the logical can
didate of the Regulars for sena.
tor. We have opposed Senator
Alice as the personal and politi-
cal representative Of Mr.. Ad-
dicks, but for him personally we
have the highest regard. He
has done for the Union Republi-
cans of Kent and Sussex Coun-
ties what Senator Ball has done
for the Regulars Of this county
i. e., built up superb organiza-
tion, and while he has made many
political enemies, has few per-
sonal ones.
This selection of two strong
leaders of the opposing factions
and their association with the
national leaders Of the party
must tend to end the strife. We
do not try to deceive our readers
that all is to be harmonious and
lovely in the ranks of the party.
We know that there will be bat
ties yet to be fought and victor
les won. But as Gettysburg was
the turning point of the Rebel
lion, so we think that the elec,
tion of last Monday is the turn
ing point of the political warfare.

The bill makes it a misdemeanor for

men through his land. The amend
ment proposed is to require anyone
who thus closes a part OF a stream to
deposit therein annually at least 1000
young fish and thus restock the
