GOVERNOR ALvA ADAMS OF coLoRAno
was achieved only after he had given
his pledge TO resign and surrender the
chair to Lieutenant Governor Jesse #.
Mcdonald, Republican. Governor Pea
body took over the ONCE OF governor
from Adams last evening.
The vote in joint convention OF the
general assembly by which Governor
Alva Adams. Democrat was ousted
and GoverHor James II. Peabody, Re-
publican, installed was 81 TO Al. Ten
Republicans voted with the Demo
cratic members for Adams. Peabody
maintained that Adams was elected
only by fraudulent ballots, cast for the
most part in Denver.
Although the Republican majority on
Joint ballot is S5, the membership OF
the legislature being Sc Republicans
and 81 Democrats, 1t had been found
impossible TO gain for Peabody enough
Republicans votes to reinstate him as
governor for the remainder OF the bi-
ennial term ending in January, 1907.
, twenty-five Republican members OF
the general assembly. according to re-
port. refused to be bound by any ac-
ton In caucus on the contest. and en-
tered into a compact not to vote for
Peabody. A majority OF them, however.
was in favor OF seating Lieutenant
Governor Mcdonald In the governor
ship II means could be found TO do so
legally. Finally. the leaders Of the op-
posing Republican factions arranged
a compromise by which Peabody would
be vindicated by being declared elect
ed and Mcdonald would be made gov
ernor.
At the conference. at which the bar
gain was made, pledges were given to
the independent Republicans by active
supporters Of Peabody that he would
retire after being seated and permit
the lieutenant governor TO take the
Office of governor.
Governor Peabody's undated resigna-
tion it is said. was placed in the
hands of w. s. Boynton and was fled
with the secretary of state. today.
Governor Ames surrendered his ONCE
to Governor Peabody last evening.
Scores OF letters. kilograms and tele-
phone messages had reached the exec
utive chamber during the day urging
Governor Adams to hold his seat by
force, but he decided to ignore this ad-
vice. He said he felt outraged at the
action Of the general assembly. and ex-
pressed surprise that Mr.. Peabody
should become a party to what he
termed a conspiracy to secure the Of
fee OF governor for a man who had no
claim whatever to the place.

70 rRoTrLE pEcgNcY.

TOR ingenious expedients the Phil
4 adelphia machine Is entitled to
first prize. Recently the Law and Or
der Society discovered a lot OF things
the officers OF the law didn't know. Yet
this discovery brought no great meas
ure Of JOY to those whose business It
was to know Il.
Governor Pennypacker has stated
many times that Philadelphia is a
model city, and Mayor Weaver being
in a position to know has echoed that
sentiment. When the Law and order
Society produced a wealth Of evidence
to the contrary. the facts reflected on
the chief agents OF the machine.
so there was but one thing to do
suppress the Law and order Society.
But howg Was It possible to accom-
plish that BY indirection? It seems so.
A bill is before the Legislature requir-
ing such organizations TO publish list
OF it's subscribers, together with the
respective amounts given.
Now the effect OF such a law should
Il pass is apparent. Nobody would dare
contribute a penny Tor to do so would
be the signal for petty annoyances af-
fecting business ana private life. II
would mean the cutting off Of all the
revenue the society now has.
It seems that TO contribute to So
cieties whose sole object is to enforce
the law is an act to be regarded with
suspicion and to be, penalized. Such
is the government under two highly
respectable gentlemen, Governor Pen.
nypacker and Mayor Weaver.

LEGISLATION ABSOLUTELY Me-
cEssARY.

THE motion to adjourn the House
y OF Representative yesterday af-
ter the adoption Of a resolution to hold
q night session is another step back
ward by the present legislature and
as result the possibilities Of an ex-
ira session suddenly loom up.
what is the Legislature going to do
with the good roads bill. the Whining
ton city charter and the new charter
for the Board Of Education OF this city?
The latter is not only important but
essential and should the Legislature
adjourn without such charter being en-
acted the Governor would not only be
justified in calling an extra session,
but we think it would be necessary
for him to do so.
The importance OF the passage Of
some legislation for Wilmington is so
necessary that we cannot refrain from
urging upon them at this time the alb
soIute necessity OF doing somtthing.
There is an enormous amount OF leg
islation before the members, some OF
which they viii not even read. very
much that viii not even be considered
and very little that win ever be voted
upon
Let the members so 10 Dover mex
week and stay there until adjournment
let them have night sessions on Mon
day. Tuesday aud Wednesday and per.
haps some Of the necessary Legislation
may receive consideration. The Leg
islature owes the people at least this
much.

EDITORIAL OPINION
The Inauguration Date.
The New YORK Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
We learn from the news columns Of
the Washington Post that another ef-
fort is to be made to reform our po-
litical calendar The 59th Congress is
to be asked to do what the 57th should
have done-and came near doing
that is, to rob Inauguration Day Of It's
present terrors and discomforts by
pushing the date forward from March
to April 80. Four years ago Con-
gress seemed on the point Of yielding
TO the demand for q more seasonable
Inauguration Day. Early in the ses-
sion Of 1901-0 Senator Hoar, or Mas
sachusetts, introduced a resolution
which provided for the continuance Of
the administration then In office until
April 80, 1905, and for an extension OF
The life of the 5sth Congress--not then
eiected-from March 3 to April 30,
1905.
This resolution had the double merit
of freeing the inauguration ceremony
from any further March blizzard ae-
commandments and Of enaking general
legislation practicable at the short ses-
sions OF Congress. The Senate passed
Nr Hoar's resolution by a unanimous
vote. To facilitate It's passage through
the House Of Representatives COM
mittee was organized by leading CT
izens Of the District Of Columbia.
which 4ucceeded IN enlisting the CO.
operation Of the Governors OF nearly all
the states. yet at the last minute cer-
tain members Of the House Judiciary
Committed objected to the lenetheninR
of the short Session. the committee OF
citizens and Governors divided on the
question Of sustaining the Hoar meas
ure as It stood or consenting TO have
II tinkered with. and the session end
ed with the resolution still slumbering

granting that this is true what per-
Icentage of property owners In the city
were present and how much property
did they represent? From what / can

$iS3,000 Of taxable property represent

A MOST REMARKABLE STORY.

COME Of the most wonderful stories
- that ever emanated from a news
paper man have to be credited to the
Legislative correspondent Of the Every
Evening. Genius is always to be ad-
mred, and we admit that the latest re-
veals an Imagination that makes Jules
Verne look like an amateur This
story has 10 do with the ending OF the
deadlock over the election Of a sena-
tor.
II runs this way: The Regulars and
Unions have agreed to ask the Presi-
dent to send John Edward Addicks
abroad as an bassador-probably as
minister to Tahoma--and this having
been accomplished. the bone OF conten-
tion removed, they will turn in and
elect a Senator and live happily ever
afterwards.
But to put aside romance and come
down to hard pan, We find several
weak points in the story. They are:
II takes a fortune for a man to rep
resent the United states at foreign
court, and we doubt whether Addicks
is seeking place to spend his money.
Besides It would take him out Of the
field where fortunes are recuperated.
In the second place. We don't think
there are many members OF the Legls-
laturc who would have the courage
or the disposition to support such an
appointment to Secretary Hay and
President Roosevelt.
Then we think the stake would have
to be something more than a Senator
from Delaware for the President to Sc.
lect that kind OF a man as his personal
representative at a foreign court.
Then. too. the Senate would have tC
confirm or reject. and We DO not oues-
tion for a moment what that bod,
would do II asked to ratify such a bar
gnin.
And, finally. We do not think there
are many courts which would welcom,
John Edward Addicks after the repu.
tation he has made.
AS a bit OF humor the story may
have its place. but in any other lIgh'
It is preposterous.

ETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE

the Editor OF The Evening Journal:
ir: Some time ago 1 urged that the
riff's dollarage which is charged up
aBAlnst all unfortunate debtors who
haYe either their personal property or
RED estate seized and sold by the
s9eriff. be repealed 50 FAR as New Cas-
pe county is concerned. A bill to this
effect was sent to the Legislature and
I am told that they refused to pass it,.
Is 1t true? Now that the sheriff is on
a salary it is simply an imposition on
the poor debtor to continue this tax.
1t was imposed as a means Of paying
the sheriff. Now IT is unnecessary and
I cannot imagine why the Legislature
should refuse to take off the burden.
Can you tell why? Very truly
A DEBTOR.
Wilmington, Del, Mar. 49, 1905.
The Evening Journal urged the re-
peal OF the dollarage tax some weeks
ago. We considered It Az unnecessary
imposition which bears very heavily
on persons who are unfortu-
nate. Why any member Of the Leg
islature should want to continue it we
cannot Imagine. We advise you to take
the question up with your representa-
tive and If not too late, to have the
subject considered by the House where
the bill now is.
