From the Middletown Transcript.
No one knows better than Mr.. Addicks
that he has no possible chance of an elec-
tion to the United States Senate. without
at least seven or eight votes in New Castle
county, even conceding him every doubt
full district IN the two lower counties.
And no one knows better than Mr.. Ad-
dicks that with two tickets in this coun-
ty he cannot possibly elect more than one
Representative. 1t IS possible hat he has
studied and conned the tables put together
for use prior to the city election of last
June, until he has come to believe there
Is some truth in them. AS an example Of
the accuracy of that table we would re-
mind our readers, that the Union Repub-
licans are credited with having cast one
half The vote which Hon. l.. V. Aspril.
Jr., received, when the vote for Mr.
Byrne, the Union Republican candidate
for Representative in Congress. was just
40, about six per cent. of the total Repub-
lican vote And II is well known that Mr..
Aspril did not get the benefit of all the
Byrne tickets.
OF course, there are no Regular Re
lpublicans who will claim that Mr. Ad-
'ANAo N'hApA AtAcal tut ANtBuDltdn t4li-

thus turn over the relns Of governments
to the Democrats, who have in the past
demonstrated their inability 10 honestly
and economically administer IT, This
would be the only outcome If such a plan
were carried out. But we do not believe
that this result will appear. We have
some confidence yet In the leaders Of the
Union Republicans who are Mr.. Addicks
lieutenants. They are not mad and they
know the situation. To act in the man.
ner that Mr. Addicks declares will bs
done, is to proclaim to the world thai
they are proud Of the boast that the test
Of a Union Republican is his willingness.

PoLIcg AND HIeHER TAxEs.

1t is now said that the city tax rate
will have to be raised ten cents on the
hundred dollars IN order to provide for
an Increase in the police force. No
matter If It has to be raised fifty cents
on the hundred, the addition to the
force is Imperative. 1t is not a luxury,
but a necessity.
But the exact cost can be figured
out TO a penny and a little calcula-
ton viii show that an additional rate
OF six cents on the hundred would pay
this extra charge. The city finances
are in bad shape and that is another
reason that is given. for an Increase
in the tax rate. But we are already
paying too dearly for the luxury Of
government. and should the rate be
raised there would very properly be a
howl Of protest.
At first sight one might conclude that
we are unjust to our governing bod
les in this, but we are not. Thousands
Of dollars have been wasted annually
by failure TO collect the taxes that
have been assessed. We do not know
what sum is now due the city-no-
body does, apparently-but it is ad-
mittedly very large. We are not only
kept out OF the use Of money but from
year to year a large sum becomes out
lawed, and is lost to the city absolute
ly.
Here is where a reform should be in
stituted. It would break up favorit.
ism, it is true; It would prevent the
payment OF political debts at the ex-
pense Of thz city. but IL would reduce
the tax rate by equalizing the bur-
denF. It is said that Mayor Bird. who
has done some excellent work. has
other reforms in contemplation. Here
is an ample field for his talents. II he

Union Republican DISGUST.
q sussex RepubIIcan.

From the Sussex Republican.
Alice and Layton both were showing
great anxiety to get together and the
latter did not hesitate to say conhden-
TALLY that Addicks was out Of it.
Since the Washington conference
there has been a very perceptible stiff
fening and Alice and Layton have
again taken up the cry for Addicxs and
no doubt they were told to do so by
Addicls and dare not refuse. Alice
and Layton are just as deep in the
mud as Addlcks is I'm the mire. They
were both directors of the Bay State
Gas Company during the time of all
these questionable business transac-
tions and now Alice is president of the
company. placed there by Addicks, no
doubt TO protect himself i'm case things
should take an unfavorable turn. They
cannot go back on Addicks il they
would. They have been partakers IN
his success and they must share the
consequence wi tn him, and no doubt
he is I'm a position to compel them to
stand by him whether they want to
or not If Addicks is guilty they are
guilty and nobody knows the extent Of
their participation i'm Addicks' schemes
better than Addicks himself. and hence
his power over them Very little help.
therefore, can be expected by Union
Republicans from Alice and Layton,
in their efforts to adjust the Republic
can difficulties in this State. But there
are many Union Republicans who are
not thus tied to Addicks. While they
have been supporters of Addicks they
are not owned by him and obligations
they may have felt to fight to advance
his interest, they have satisfied in full
by doing all they could in the past.
Now that Addicks has proven himself
unworthy Of their support and they
feel that their first duty is to fight to
save the Republican party from de-
| font. no doubt they stand raadY to heln
