those who have and will not be careful.
Besides this the State should take
some means to relieve poor unfortu-
mates who have fallen a prey to the
disease. We have a consumptive hos

rHE TIPPING SYSTEM.

~ ECRETARY MORTON'S order
y permitting officers when travel
Ing on Official business to in
clude tips in their expense accounts,
in a measure puts the seal Of approval
on the bothersome practice. 1t is prob
ably unjust to these officials to pay
tips out Of their own pockets, ana as
they cannot be served properly with
out this expense, the government should
foot the bill.
Yet this shows that the un-American
practice has become firmly established,
and it is probably something with
which we shall have to contend in the
future indefinitely, OF course the sys-

EDITORIAL OPINION
American eattIeships.
. New York Trlbune.

From the New York Tribune.
Unsensational as was the launch OF
the battleship Louisiana, at Newport
News on Saturday II was noteworthy
incident in the development OF the
American navy. The vessel Is the pio-
neer Of new class She and four sis
ters will each have a displacement of
10000 tons. That Of the Virginia and
the Rhode Island. which went down the
ways last spring, and Of three others
belonging TO the same group, is only
$1,000. From the smaller ships a speed
of nineteen knots Is expected. whereas
tho Louisiana will not develop more
than eighteen, one quintet, therefore,
should possess whatever advantage at
tends the inability TO maneuver quick
ly In action. and the other should have
the stability which comes from greater
size.
still another difference between the
two types will be found in the arma-
ment. Both classes of ships viii mount
four Pinch and eight S-lnch guns. The
next smaller ones carried by the Vir-
gnia will be 6-inch rifles whereas those
OF the Louisiana will have a calibre Of
inches-an entirely new size for this
country, The policy of using heavier
ordnance than formerly I'm the second
airy battery will soon be generally fol-
lowed by progressive nations. It was
illustrated by the adoption OF 7.1-2-inch
guns for the two battleships sold by
Chile to England a few months ago.

rHE LEpeER,s VIEW.

THE PHILADELPHIA LEDGER,
which has treated the Addlcks
question so ably and 50 fairly.
in the following editorial shows some
alarm at what it regards as the sur
render OF the Regular Republicans;
For twelve years the patriotic. de-
cent Republicans OF Delaware have
fought a brave. noble fight to prevent
]. Edward Addicks breaking his way
into the Senate of the United States.
If they should now stand firm to the
honorable. philosophical principles
which inspired their opposition to him.
and for which they have so long and
coura geousiy contended. their victory
viii be assured. Addicks will be driven
from the field, never 10 appear again
as a political adventurer. Having him
already defeated, it is incomprehensible
that they now propose 10 surrender to
him, and to give him the victory and
seat in the United States Senate. That
would be a humiliation from which
Delaware could never recover q
Its conclusion is natural from the
course of recent events. but We think
the sequel win prove that Addlcks will
not be elected Senator ana that he viii
not own the next Governor Of Della
ware We do not hesitate to say that
there have been concessions made that
should not have been made: that the
fear Of Democratic supremacy has been
resent to frighten the timid; but when
Il comes to electing a Legislature fav-
ofable TO Addicks there win be the
same powerful opposition.
There is another point on which there
has been no surrender and win be no
surrender pr. Chandler win not be
taken from the ticket. We don't think

Retreatins Russians Closely Pressed on
Three Sides.
Tokyo, Sept. 6.--The japanese army
Is west, east and north Of the retreat
ing Russian forces, and in the continu-
Gus lighting of yesterday General Ku-
ropatkin's rear guard was repeatedly
smashed by the forces Of Generals
Nodzu and Oku, General Kuroki, hav-
ing held the Russians long enough to
permit the Japanese army as a whole
to cross the Tai swung around the
mountains north of the Yenthai coal
district yesterday morning, and at
noon yesterday Raron Oyamns chief Of
stan reported Kurokis extreme right
on the north bauk of the Tha river,
only ten miles from Mukden. The bull
letin from the feld said:
"The enemy was attacked from the
south and west this morning, and the
movement of his forces to Mukden was
stopped by General Kuroki, whose
right flank has been thrown across the
Tha river, ten miles south Of Mukden.
The fighting is incessant. We have
captured several thousand men and
many field guns. The Russians are
sacrificing many men in a well fought
rear guard action"
Before midnight another bulletin
from the field was received, but the
staff has not announced its contents in
advance Of its communication to the
emperor at his country place. The bull
letin is believed to contain news Of a
victory-in fact, the total defeat OF
Kuropatkin's army. This is foreshad-
owed by the auecess Of General Kuroki
In making a flank movement north Of
the Yenthai hills thus swinging his
army TO the northwest, only ten miles
south Of Mukden. His former positions
lower down, near the Tai river, un-
doubtedly have been occupied by Cen
eral Nodzu's divisions. and General
Oku's army is attacking from the south
and west.
II appears that the entire japanese
army is pursuing the retreating Rus
slams and that General Kuropatkin
cannot hope to escape with anything
like his full lighting strength in men
and guns. Should he break through
General Kuroki's fanking column there
will be no refuge for him in Mukden,
as he can be attacked from all sides by
a superior army. The roads north OF
Mukden, should he be able to continue
his retreat, will force him TO abandon
all his heavy war material. The light
er equipment of the japanese will tell
heavily in the pursuit now going on,
and only Russian disaster is looked for
by the war officials in Tokyo.

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

nY the time this is read the Demo-
Gratis will have named their state
ticket. We are not so narrow
that we eaunot express the wish that
Il will be good one. Among the
names mentioned az this writing are
those Of men who are entitled to re-
spect ana confidence, and of others
who do not measure up TO the Offices
to which they aspire.
We believe that under normal con-
ditlons this state should go Republic
can. We fear reactionary policy
should the Democrats again come into
power. We believe that there should
be enough patriotism and unsehshness
among Republicans to reach an honor
able understanding that viii insure
Democratic defeat
But. nevertheless, II the Republicans
deserve to win they should be strong
enough to win over clean, able list
OF opponents, In sense, candidates
nominated by either party are public
meni they reflect the ideals
and opinions Of large constituencies
and, therefore, their selection is either
complimentary or uncomplimentary to
the people OF Delaware generally.
Then, too, unless the Republicans
show sense and true party loyalty, the
Democratic ticket now nominated will
be elected. In that event we want to
see men big enough 10 understand that
they represent the people Of Delaware,
and that their offices have not been
given them as resting places in which
TO build up the machine. on election
partisanship should in a large meas
ure give way to patriotism. We shall
discuss this ticket fairly and honestly
from time TO time. We trust we shall
be able TO say that it is a good one.

Hyomei Cures Catarrh Without Dan.
serous prusging Of the Stomach.
Not until Hyomei was discovered has
It been possible to truthfully say that
remedy for catarrh was known.
This remedy is breathed through the
Hyomei inhaler for few minutes four
times e day and during that time every
particle of air taken into the air pas
sages and lungs is impregnated with
the germ killing and health giving
Hyomei. II is the oriy treatment that
cures catarrh.
stomach drugging often causes dis
ordered digestion or brings on some
other diseases and never makes a per-
manent cure of catarrh. Hyomei not
only kills the germs in the throat and
nose but penetrates 10 the minutest
air cells i'm the lungs and enters the
blood with the oxygen, killing the
germs in the blood. IL trees the mu-
cous membrane from poisonous mi
crobes and gives perfect health.
A complete outfit costs but Sl.O0, and
includes an inhaler, dropper and sufic-
lent Hyomei for sevral weeks treat
ment.
y. James Belt has so much faith In
the merit Of Hyomei that he agrees to
return the money to any purchaser
who may be dissatisfied.
