IN CONVENTION.

The Regular Republican Convention
is in session In Dover today. and from
all indications the gathering is to be
harmonious and its energies devoted to
outlining and re-stating the principles
Of progressive Republicanism. and the
selection Of delegates to represent Del
aware IN the national convention at
Chicago.
Il is an honor TO participate in the
convention which is now In session. and
that II Is so esteemed was shown by
certain sharp contests at the primaries.
But these contests have left no bitter
ness IN their wake, but have simply
aroused interest which win serve a
good purpose throughout the coming
campaign.
Anybody regarding that convention
today. it's acts and the men who CONF
pose #, must conclude that Regular Re-
publicanism is going TO be maintained
in Delaware throughout the years to
come. and that the cash Of no stock
gambler can undermine It,
That convention means more TO this
state than the average gathering OF
a political organization. Whether It is
generally understood or not. It repre-
sents that sort OF Republicanism which
has as its cornerstone common de-
cency. This is the organization which
FOR twelve years has kept the pages OF
our history free from the worst dis
grace; and II that particular item is
never written st win be true because
OF the courage and steaSfastness OF that
band which has won honor FAR beyond
the borders Of this State for It's inter-
probation Of ReDuhlicanism.

HAMlLToN's DEATH.

While we are celebrating by great
exposition one Of the greatest acts OF
Thomas Jefferson's career the Loulsl-
ana purchase. attention IS being called
to the fact that this is also the centen-
nial OF Alexander Hamilton's death.
That sad event which has come to be
regarded as one Of the tragedies Of our
history. should be observed by some
suitable demonstration to Impress upon
the generations to come the eminent
services this man rendered to the coun-
try Of his adoption and our estimate Of
the value Of these services. And this
may be done without detracting a whit
from the glory Of Thomas Jefferson.
These men devoted their great talents
to the formation Of the Republic. and
during all that period when the expert
ment had not yet been hailed as a sue
cess they labored increasingly. each in
his own way to establish Il on perma-
nent foundations.
They were both the advisers OF Wash
ineton' While they cordially detcsted
each other. Jefferson had drawn his
inspiration from the French revolutions
lists and believed In government that
governed so little that it was likely to
fall TO pieces. Hamilton. on the other
hand, was the first OF Federalists. and
his IDEAL Of government was modified
copy Of that OF Great Britain.
So these men argued. and lampooned
each other in the press. But our gov
eminent today is the composite OF the
opposing Ideas. And while the two
great brains we're threshing out the
problem OF government. Washington
was holding the balance between them
and Weighing in his calm and judicial
mind the ideas advanced by each. It
is safe to say that this government OF
ours would not have been exactly what
II is. that the balance between the
States and the Federal government
would have been less even, had ether

TROUBLE OVER
LAST SUPPLY BILL
tormy oessIon in the House
Over the d. hciency
Appropriation
NEW PENSION ORDER ANTAGONlzED

Washington, April 10. - The house
ulssed $3.50 last OF the supply bills OF
le government, lie general deficiency
preparation measure, after a stormy
sion which lasted till s:15 in the
ecning.
The contest was a party one over the
edclency appropriation for pensions,
hich the Democrats tried ineffective
to amend by Incorporating as a law
he recent executive age disability pen
Lion order An effort was made by Mr..
Aioon (Tenn.l TO secure a yea and nay
vote on his amendment as TO the age
disability order, but the speaker re-
used to recognize him for this pur-
pose.
On pro forma motion 10 recommit
the bill the Democrats, angered by the
speakers refusal TO recognize Mr..
Moon, secured a roll call, but after the
vote had been taken all further opposi-
tion ceased, and the bill was passed.
Late in the afternoon Mr.. Hit offered
his Chinese exclusion bill. introduced
Saturday as an amendment to the gen
eral deficiency bill, and It was accepted
without objection.
Several bills were passed early in
the day under suspension Of the rules.
The senate continued consideration
OF the sundry civil appropriation bill.
but did not conclude It. A number Of
other bills were passed during the day,
including measures ratifying agree
ments with the Indians OF the DEVILS
Lake, Rosebud and Flathead reserFa-
tions, located respectively In North
Dakota, South Dakota and Montana.
The conference report on the army ap-
preparation bill was also considered.
Senator Usss strsns Language.
The word damned" used in debate
on the sundry civil appropriation bill
by Senator Knute Nelson (Mlnn), was
the cause Of an outbreak Of hilarity.
The discussion was on the need of
wagon roads in Alaska, and Mr.. Mel
son said there was not a single wagon
road in that territory, He related
many details Of his observations in
Alaska while visiting the country as a
member OF the senate committee and
told Of its resources, the hardships to
which the settlers are subjected and
the little that has been done for the
people. He grew specially jealous in
his presentation Of the production Of
precious metals and furs, and his zeal
was scarcely exceeded by the indigna-
ton he exhibited as he depicted the
niggardiness Of the government in
'deming With the AlasSans. At last,
completely forgetting himself, he ex-
claimed:
"All this they have done, Mr.. Presi-
dent, and In return we have not done
a --- thing for themw
There seldom has been so spontane-
Gus an outburst Of laughter In the SEN
ate as the exclamation provoked. Mr.
Nelson Joined in the merriment, though
with many evidences Of embarrass-
ment His only apology was the re-
mark that sometimes adjectives come
from the heart"

Condensed MIX.

Condensed milk is a modern product
only so far as its preservation by
chemicals or in alright tins is con-
cerned. The koumiss, or preserved
mares milk, OF the Tartars has been
known from time immemoriai among
nomads Of the steppes. After treat
ment with water and little sour milk
and repeated churnings it is packed
closely in skins. Condensed milk has
also been prepared in primitive way
for thousands Of years in India, where
II forms the basis Of several kinds OF
sweetmeats. Heated over charcoal
fires In shallow brass bowls, the milk
is constantly added to until it grad
naiiT condenses to a thick. solid crust.

Old NOT SETTLE THE
GARBAGE QUESTION
Councilman Lynch S Absence
an Excuse for Mr.. Kane
to Delay Meeting

Because Councilman d. w. Lynch.
one Of the special committee Of three
appointed by City Council to confer
with the Loard of Health on the ques-
tion Of printing Secretary Wiggles-
worth's report for 1903 as il now stands.
was unable to attend the conference
fixed for last evening, no action in the
matter was taken. Another meeting
was arranged for tonight when the full
committee is expected to be present.
Councilman Taylor was the only
member Of the committee present when
the meeting vase allied to order by
President Lowe. of the Board Of
Health. Mr.. Kane, the third member
of the committee. however, made his
appearance shortly after the meeting
convened.
During the discussion that followed
Secretary Wigglesworth and Mr. Lowe
and Mr.. Kane exchanged tart remarks.
The latter did not want to proceed with
the discussion in the absence of Mr.
Lynch. Mr.. Taylor however, wanted
the conference to go on.
Despite Mr.. Kane's protests against
taking up the matter In the absence OF
Mr.. Lynch. a discussion followed and
he was unwillingly drawn into it. Mr..
Wigglesworth said that he could take
his executive officers today and go to
500 houses where the garbage has not
been collected so far this month. He de-
clared that one-half the contractors
depend on outsiders to collect the gar
bage, which he held to be detrimental.
Mr.. Kane was inclined to doubt Mr..
Wigglesworth's statement, but said
that il such were the case, conditions
were bad.
At this point Mr.. Lynch telephoned
that it would be impossible for him to
attend the meeting and Mr.. Kane re-
fused to proceed further. A meeting
was then arranged to take place this
aftarnoon

A HERO FUND.

Mr. Carnegie has never made be-
quest that is Of a nobler nature than
that which creates fund for the bene-
ht Of heroes. He has appointed trus-
tees with full instructions, and the in
come derived from the investments Is
to become Immediately available.
Medals are TO be struck and given
TO those who have been conspicuous
in any bravery, the object Of which is
humanitarian. II financial aid is re-
quired that VIII be given also. and wo-
men as well as men may become bene-
hciaries. The medal is not TO be given
for military exploits, but as reward
for heroism In everyday nfe-where
most Of our heroes distinguish them
selves.
We doubt not that in time this medal
will become as great mark OF dis
tinction as the Victoria Cross, or the
cross Of the Legion OF Honor. for It
win be given to no favorite. but real
merit must win IL.
When soldiers are wounded or
MANNED the government takes care Of
them, but heretofore there has been no
provision for the average man or wo-
man who by some act Of heroism suf-
fered injury. There is one condition in
the bequest which shows the breadth
OF the great scotchmans mind. In re-
warding these medals or IN giving
financial assistance the previous record
Of the hero Is not TO be taken into con-
sideratlon. The theory is that any
one capable Of being real hero has
some real good In him and Is entitled
10 another chance.
