Delaware Fight Goes On.

The Hon. William NJ ByTne. who re-
signed the job OF United States district
attorney to become the AddIcks candi-
date for Congress in the recent campaign
in DeIaH are. aad after his defeat was re-
appointed by The President to his old po-
sition, has been turned down By the Sen
ate Committee on The judiciary By a
vote OF seven TO six that body has re-
fused 10 report IaTorabIy upon his nom
nation for confirmation by the Senate.
While the charge Of inc0mpe and
neglect Of duties is assigned as the rea-
son for the action Of the committee. the
real reason is found in the faCt that he
is the Addiclcs candidate His rejection
viii no doubt stjII further compIicate
matters in the Blue Hen state. and make
more bitter the factiouaI feeling among
the Republicans Of that little tWo-by-
three Commonwealth.
IN addition it has involved the Presi-
dent IN the controversy TO a greater ex-
tent than discreet politicians believe he
should have been drawn into it.
The reappointment of Mr.. Byrne after
his defeat for Congress was given a
double construction Some declared it
to be a recognition BE- the President OF
the Addicks faction; others asserted
that be was entitled to q return to his
old position after be had been Unsuc-
cessfuI in the race for Congress. and
contended that there was no special sig
nffcance to the reappolntment
Mr. Byrno poIled more thau 1900
votes in the contest against about $3.50
cast for Dr. Ball, the regular" candi-
date. and. the Republican vote being
thus divided. the Democratic nominee
was successful
when it became apparent that fhn
Judiciary Committee would not report
faTorabIy on the nomination a copy
OF the charges was sent TO the President
in the hope that he would Withdraw SIR.
ByrHe's name and select another. This
he did not do, and the sentiment OF The
committee being against Addieks. they
proceeded to turn down Mr. Byrne.
Now it becomes necessary for the
President to make another nomination.
and there seems TO be no way OF escaD-
ing trouble Ever. Republican OF Della
ware Is either for or .'agin" Addicks;
he is either a Regular OF a Union Re
publican, ana the President in his Sc
lection must recognize one faction II
the other. There seems TO be 10 middle
course. nc possibility of finding con-
promise candidate Thus merriIy does
the fight in Delaware go on.

fFamily Statutes. "

It is perfectly true that the laws OF

means OF those mysterious family stat
utes" Of the sovereign and mediarizad
families of Continental Europe which
are. so to speak, above the common law
OF the land.
There have been quite a number OF
cases. not only in the house of Hans

and princesses disappearing from the

Won't Listen to Reason.

This was very fair and equitable
proposal. But she Absolutely declined 10
listen to reason. or TO hear of q separa-
ton. even of o temporary character, from
her professor. and thus sacrificed her
little children to this Belgian Don juan
OF course by so doing she forfeited all
further claim on the sympathy and in

Austria and Of her royal relatives at
Dresden. and has brought upon herself
the complete expulsion from the mem

her status and prerogatives as a
princess Of the blood.

There are holidays and holidays; the law
is providing for them in large numbers, that
the toilers may have some respite from the
daily grind, but there are only two real fes.
tival holidays. The one marks the anniver-
sary of the birth of Christ-Christmas the
other the birth ofour country -Independence
Day. Only these two rise to the dignity OF
a sentiment; all the others are mere practi
calities.
Christmas takes precedence Christmas
made Independence Day possible, hence Ju.
ly 4th uncovers to December 25th.
Christmas embodies the idea of the divin
ity of childhood as yet untouched by the
smirch of w0rldiness; it presents tor emu,a

TO mans years and stature maintained the
purity of babyhood while he attained The
wisdom of a sage. Christmas Is naturally
the children's festival it is helpful to mar

Oar license law.

The writer haying been frequently asked
his personal opinions on the subject of license
in NJ. chanlcstown district; the issue bein , a
summer hotel, gives them here.
In the first place, the present license rcgu-
latiun IN this district can only be changed
Ivy submitting it TO vote in the district;
that is, lie Legislature will pass no hill arhi.
trarily r'pcalipg the existing Local Option
law in this district.
In the second place, certainly only by
petition Of greater weight. numerically and
otherwise, than any countcr-retition, will
the Legislature consider iavorably any bill
for reslbmission TO vote.
Now, any petition that SIMPLY provides
for the repeal of the present law, which
would replace the district under the common
license law of the county, would not be en-
dorscd by even respect BILE minority hence,
unless some other provision should attach to
the bill providing for resubmission to Il vote,
it would be wholly useless to consider it.
The only provision likely to receive con-
sideration would be o carefully drawn high
license, hotel law.
Inquiry, not wide nor special, but among
a number and class of people that may be
considered representative warrants the state
ment that Il stringent high license hotel law
| would receive support on the grounds that
such a law would be a preventive of evils
which exist under the present law and which
would not bring new ones to more than Off
set them
The strictly commercial view Of the matter
improvement in the travel to the hotels
now here and the promise Of a large summer
hotel, the latter only possible under such
conditions would favorably influence many
business men and property owners.
Opposed to any possible concession in the
direction of license would certainly be array
ed the strict, formal prohibition sentiment
of the district; all those who professedly and
sincerely believe in the theory, oblivious to,
or regardless of the actual working of our
prohibition law.
Herein is set forth, as near exactly rs they
exist, the facts, as one quite devoid of senti
ment or direct practical interest in the mat
ter can describe them; they may be valueless,
or they may be of some Importance, as the
present status of affairs from temperance and
business standpolnts may be satisfactory, or
as it may be desirable to effect change
As for The CLARION, 1t has views and will
define them and take its position, decidedly
and aggressively, when and only when it be-
comes real issue; when the steps essential
to change in the law have been formally
taken by such as may have sufficient interest
! in the matter to do 80.
