EDITORIAL OPINION
Need Of Msn for the Navy.

G'rom the Philadelphia Public Ledger
The growth Of the American navy
has been unprecedented in the annals
OF the world. II is a good navy, con-
sistlng Of stout ships manned by able
men and intelllgently directed, but
some Of the naval offers and officials
OF the Navy Department are begin
ming to ask what good IL Is to build the
ships II there are no men to man them.
Their queries are not unreasonable.
There Is not a ship in the navy that
is not short of men and officers, and
IN order TO overcome this lack some
ten or more vessels which are in need
OF some repairs will be put out Of COM
mission for the time being, not because
the repairs are so serious as to call for
this step, but simply because Of the
shortage of the men behind the guns.

KENNEY TRluMPhANT

~HE Democratic convention held
in Dover yesterday did about
everything that was unexpected.
1t bursted up all the old combinations
ana revealed new ones. Some Of these
appear strange and almost unnatural
But out of all the turmoil and con-
fusion. the shifting and Juggling, one
fact stands out IN bold relief; r. r..
Kenney is the boss and master-splrit
Of the Delaware Democracy II is fair
to Mr.. Kenney to say that he is the
ablest general IN the ranks Of the DEM
ocratic party He can not only COM
mand his own forces but he can cause
the enemy to do what he desires.
Before the combination arranged by
Mr.. Kenney the New Castle hosts
went down to defeat, helpless and inn
beetle. Mr.. Kenney only a few months
ago in open convention dubbed then
'jackasses." and they tried to be true
to the role.
Even the nomination Of the Attor
ney- General which they secured wal
theirs only because Mr.. Kenney regard
ed it as good politics. 1t is an opei
secret that he counselled his follower
to support Mr.. Handy. thus at the saml
time showing his power and magnanim
ity.
The surprising feature was the mas
terry over the opposing factions which
Mr.. Kenney displayed. Elements which
have always sternly opposed him were
his supporters and apologists. They
were even declaring with emphasis
that Mr. Kenney is about to retire from
politics and that he would refuse any
ohice that Mr.. Pennewill il elected
might offer him. And they apparently
expected to be believed
The significant fact Of the whole con-
vention was the mastery OF Kenney
Other men, ready Of speech and ordi-
narily fertile In expedients thought
they were factors. but they were mere
cogs in the wheel and the wheel was
under the control OF Kenney

A eLoopTHIRsTY oEFIcER

a STORY comes from the maneu-
~ yer camp at Gainesville. Va,
that some Of the Southern
troops there are talking OF firing on
the colored troops with ball cartridges
during the sham battle. The eolored
soldiers have done nothing to the
white troops. The latter simply wish
to slay them because they have black
skins. II the story is true It does not
speak well for the men Of the South.
who have always boasted of their
bravery. It brands them as towards
Of the worst type. II is hard to imag-
inc a set of men so cowardly who when
bent upon work which is supposed to
be for the benefit OF their country
would under the cloak a. sham bat
tie shoot down men like themselves
who are taking their part Ia maneu-
vers intended to III them to better pro-
tect the country they have have taken

First Maryland Regiment is quoted as
saying he would pass around ball car

real casualties. This bloodthrsty
person should be sent home I'm irons

ONE FACTOR

III HE fact Of secondary Importance
ia the Dover convention was the
injection OF the liquor question.
That 1t was made an issue at time
when It was unnecessary for any pur-
pose shows the spirit Of the liquor ele-
ment. To beat Mr. Holland the fact
that he Is a strict temperance man was
made the most OF. one would have
thought that it would have made him
votes--certainiy vote for every one he
lost, But such was not the case.
And even from the standpoint Of the
liquor interests It was unnecessary to
raise the issue at that time. The gov
ernor has little to do with the question
while the Legislature has everything
to do with II. We think there is nc
question that had this issue not beer
raised Mr.. Holland would have beer
dominated. 1t was probably the decid
ing element in close contest.
We have no reason for thinking tha
Mr.. Pennewill is favorable to the liquor
interests. but the fact remains that IL
a measure he owes his selection to this
vote. Consequently we think it is fail
and proper to state that Mr. Penuewill
owes his selection to Mr.. Kenney and
the liquor people. This is said without
regard to his character as man, which
we believe to be OF the best. But in
view Of these facts the question is nat
ural and inevitable-who win control

A STRAIGHT COURSE

A I THE meeting at the Young
~ Mems Republican Club to well
come the Republican delegates
on their return from Chicago. Mr.. Hig-
gins made the Republican position
clear. He said that there were two
objects that must be pursued the de-
feat Of Democracy and the overthrow
OF Addicks.
It strikes US that his remark is es-
pecially applicable today The Della
ware Democracy has nothing attpact-
i've for the independent voter. No
having money TO spend TO inHuene,
elections. one would have Imagined
that expediency would suggest an ap-
peal 10 the people on the issue. Of clean
politics. Yet the Delaware. Democracy
can md no more exalted ideal than to
establish a machine with r. r. Kenney
as its head.
Now we can't conceive that any self
respecting Republican will want to. sup
port anything that savors Of AddIcks.
and we don't think any really indepen-
dent Democrats win care 70 help TO
fasten upon the people the yoke Of Ken
neyism. Consequently, in our opinion.
there is but one thing for an inde-
pendent. honest men TO do-vole the
Regular Republican ticket. That ticket
in its essential Integrity Will stand. To
take it down would be treaehery OF the
basest sort: and surely there are
enough decent people in Delaware who
will go TO the polls 10 register their
convictions to prevent the. dominance
Of either Addicks or -Kenaey.

ARBITRATION CASE
 WITH JUDGE SENN
SUIT OF A. J. REILLY VS. ALABAMA STEEL AND WIRE co. FOR AL LEGED BREACH OF CONTRACT HAS BEEN CONCLUDED.

The case of A. J. Reilly against the Alabama Steel and Wire company which was withdrawn from the courts some time ago and left to arbitration is now in the hands of Judge Charles A. Senn, the only arbitrator.
 The case in which. $75,o0o Is involved has been argued since August and was concluded last Thursday. Over 100 wit nesses were examined In tha- time. John P. Tillman and Forney Johnston were attorneys for the Alabama Steel and Wire company while Augustus Benners argued for the plaintiff.
 The suit which was first filed in the city court was the outgrowth of the alleged failure of the defendants to keep a contract which they had made for the construction of coke ovens at Virginia mines, below Bessemer. It is claimed by the officials of the Alabama Steel and Wire company that Reilly was not push ing the work as per his contract and that 1t was necessary for them to engage an- other contractor to finish the work. The case has attracted a great deal of att tention both in legal circles and also among the furnace operators. Judge Senn's decision is awaited with much in terest

 Dozen Charges
ESCAPED FROM FLAT TOP
Dekey's Methods Are Ingenious and Somewhat odd-Strips Vacant Houses of Plumbing-Threat-

Jim Dicliey, the one inveterate plumb ing thief in Birmingham, is again in the hands of the law, and this time he has half a dozen new charges to face, be- sides one of escaping from Flat Top where he was sentenced on half dozen different cases.
 Just as Ed Wallace, a negro, was the prince of chicken thieves, so Diekey is of plumbing thieves, and he holds undis- puted rank as the leader. He has stolen the plumbing out of more houses in Bir- ing thieves combined
 Only three or four days ago Dickey es- capped from the mines, and he came straight to Birmingham and went back to his old trade. He goes to a residence and states that some well known firm has sent him there to repair the plumbing. as requested by the rental agent.
 He will carefully examine the pipes and state that he has not all the tools nee essary to repair the trouble, and that he will have to take portion of it to the shops He walks out with the stuff and never returns. He sells the plumbing tC junk dealers. who melt it up or mutilatt 1t so that it cannot be identified.
 Dickey will also go to a vacant house and strip it of the piping and othe plumbing. He was sent to the mine several months ago, and there were a least a score of charges against him, al of which could not be proven. He ha' worked his tricks successfully for week and the police had been unable to locat him
 He is reported now to have stolei plumbing from 40 South Sixteenth street 2313 Seventh avenue, and clothing iron 242S Sixth avenue. The arrest was mad yesterday afternoon by Policemen Col and Bennett on Twenty-third street an, Second avenue. When he was arrested Dickey at once began protesting his in nocence, and exclaimed
