MR. lEAs OPPORTUNITY.

TATITH the canvassiug OF the vote OF
w the state BY Lieutenant-Gover-
|ernor Cannon yesterday in the pres
cnce OF the members Of the Senate and
the House, everything is now ready for
the inauguration. Arrangements have
been made to make this a fitting cere-
mony. and Preston Lea win enter on
his four years term with great re-
sronsibliitles and great opportunities.
Perhaps a strong, level-headed Cow
ernor may unite the party and termi-
nate the unseemly sauabhie. Certainly
this is his hope, and in carrying out his
plans looking to this end, he should
have the support not only Of Republi-
cans and Union Republicans. but Of
all good citizens.
But It cannot be done on the basis
that everybody is as good as every-
body else and "a dern sight better"
Not TO hold men to a degree account
able for their political acts is to en-
courage the very factionallsm that it
is intended to wipe out. If Addicksites
and Republicans are to be honored
equally and impartially. than instead Of
party harmony. factionallsm would be
further encouraged.
We mention this merely to show
lhow difficult a task the new Governor
will have to solve Nobody expects
him to be n factionallst; nobody ex-
poets him to be narrow, preiudlced OF
reveugeful, but II anybody imaglnes
that he has not formed opinions re-
gardlng our political conditions. and
that he viii not follow them faithfully
we think such an one win find his
mistake.
In other words, II Mr.. Lea shah sue.
coed in uniting the party it win be be-
cause he recognizes right when he
sees st and wrong when he sees IL; be-
cause he is willing TO approve political
rectltude and that he will no more
recognize by bestowing party rewards
upon persons, men whose hands are moi
clean, than he would prefer such mer
IN business life.
We believe that Mr.. Lea win use
every effort TO unite the party. but we
believe that his aim will be to estab.
lish II on a basis of wise laws, clear
party management and the proper
selection Of public officials to repre-
sent the best party traditions. And
after all, this is the only true policy
for ultimately the Republican party Of
Delaware must face the proposition
that IL It desires success it must de.
serve It,

KILLS GERMS OF cATARRH
Hyomei Goes to the Root Of the Dis
ease and Makes Astonishing Cures

Catarrh cannot be cured by the use oil
pills, liquid medicines and so-called sys-
tenn tonics. Under such treatment the
germs OF the disease will stil live in the
air passages and increase and multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific and thor
ough way 20 cure catarrh. Killing the
germs Ia the air passages, II enters the
blood with the oxygen, destroys the nil
crobos IN the blood and eieotuany drives
from the system ali traces of catarrhal

Thousands Of testimonials have been
given as 70 the astonishing cures made
by this remedy.
Mrs. lie Rendu, Is Western Avenue
Cleveland, Ohio, writes: Il believe Hy-
omei saved my life. am better now
than ! have been in thirty years. Many
doctors, both IN England and France
treated me for catarrh, but was not
cured until 1 used Hyomei."
Probably the strongest evidence that

A DISTINCTION.

Fl ERE is a paragraph from the
4 the Philadelphia Public Ledger,
intended as a grim piece Of humor. but
which suggests several lines Of
thought:
The great contest in Delaware at
present is about the appointment of a
Secretary Of State, which the Addicks-
ties want. The new Governor Is re-
ferred to a clause In the Constitution
which says that he shall appoint a
suitable person as Secretary OF State"
Does not the word suitable" bar the
Addicks aspirants?
That is the question for the dncomlng
Governor TO solve. 1t may bring up
anew the distinction between Union
Republican and an Addickslte-a dis
tinction that has frequently been made.
Perhaps at times it may be honest;
perhaps It is policy only. But. anyway,
it is pleasant TO know that the Ad-
dicksites are getting scarcer. although
there Is the usual crop Of Union Re
publieans.

LEGISLATION BADLY NEEDED.

THE Morning News agrees with as
i that the salary Of the Attorney
General and Of his assistant should be
increased. intimaung that the State
should have the exclusive right to the
services of these officials. The wis
dom of this should be apparent to
everybody.
No lawyer of capacity win turn away
all private business because he hap
pens TO be Attorney General, when the
state pays him but $4,000 per year.
And yet IL Is possible to imagine cir
cumstances under which a private
practice might interfere with the per-
Torrance Of onicial duties. An Attor-
ney-G General BY virtue Of his position is
much in the public eye, and as a con-
sequence. practice comes to him which
requires a very nice sense Of propriety
to distinguish what he may take and
what turn away. Then, too, it is diff
cult for him TO refuse the work Of a
regular client, and perhaps lose his
patronage forever
Therefore, the law should step in
and relieve him Of the necessity Of
deciding. II should engage his SER
vices exclusively for the State and pay
him accordingly.
II there is objection to raising SAL
aries. we answer that the Secretary OF
state IL required to turn in the fees OF
his onice, receiving only a proper sal
airy for his services, could furnish
enough money to pay an Attorney
General handsomely.
In view Of the prevalence Of crime
recently and the importance Of check.
ing it. we do not think the Legislature
can engage in anything Of greater mo-
ment than in legislation intended &c
strengthen the arm Of the Attorney
General.

MOUSE CAUSED A BLAZE

A small mouse which obtains it's

since, says the West Chester Local
News. The members Of Mr.. Hopes

smoke I'm the house, and made a

After considerable search 1t was found
that the smoke came from the pantry,
and a search showed that a small end
of a match, paper bag and a mouse
were the cause of the trouble.
The butt end Of match lying on a
shelf covered with oil cloth was close
to "A small bit Of bread. The mouse
nibbled the bread and ignited the
match, setting on fire a paper bag,
which charred a box filled with
macaronL causing an incipient fire and
considerable smoke and odor. Fortu-
nately there was nothing very in
fammable near and the fire burned
itself out before much damage was
done. ut might have been" a serious

NOTES TIE qH THEATRES

1t has been said that authors, when
once they have written a play, cease
to be actors. This was shown to be
groundless yesterday at the Lyceum
Theatre, when Miss Lillian Mortimer
the clever author opened her new and
latest success, Girl of the Streets She
has not only shown that her literary
work is clever, but that her work as
an actress is superb. The piece is a
good one throughout, there being some
very startling situations and thrilling
climaxes. The cast with which Miss
Mortimer is surrounded is one of the
best seen here. Especial mention is
made OF the work OF Gilbert Faust, Ed
ward J. LeSaint, John Morrisey. John
Cantwell +. Ward Marion. Eleanor
Gaines, Gertrude Avery Shields, Dora
Horn and Baby Myrtle. A very good
speciality is introduced by Baby Myr-
tie which is we'll received. The play
will continue until Saturday night
with the usual matinees.
The attraction at the Lyceum on
January %. -, % will be THE Moon

that is sure TO please. The piece
abounds in thrilling situations and at
the same time tells a pretty story.
At the LyceUm the first three days
of next week the realistic and stirring
comedy drama The Maynard Son"
will be presented with a strong cast,
headed by Neil Twomey, author of the
piece, and elaborate mechanical eff
fects and scenery. OF the play il has
been said that its pathos is affecting,
its mirth irresistible and it's dramatic
situations strong and stirring. Many
a hearty laugh rings through the
house when "The Maynard Son" is
playing, and many a soul refining tear
is shed.

WOMEN WHO WORK.

THE new woman who has broken
\ into business, established herself
in the professions and who is demand
ing the ballot, has been found capable
Of defending herself. Yet occasionally
we hear a plant that this emancipa-
ton is breaking up home life and de-
stroying the reverence for woman
which, the fiction has It. burns in all
masculine bosoms.
It seems 70 us that women with rare
exceptions prefer domostioity and II
husbands. sons and fathers do their part
there win be little desire on the part
Of women TO get out into the hurly-bur-
ly and strife OF the business world and
engage in Its battles. The exceptions
OF course we expect. There are femin-
inc women and masculine men; but the
rule holds.
The reason, then, that women work
is because they have to; not in the
sense that all OF them must provide
for their bread by labor, but because
women, like men, have many wants
that are not confined 10 mere subslst-
enoe. They prefer honest independence
TO being a drag on husbands or fathers;
or they choose 20 be self-supportlnp
rather than TO eat their bread in hu.
initiation as the recipients OF masculine
charity grudgingly bestowed.
1t IS fortunate that we have dlscov
cred a broader liberation for the wo
man who tolls. She is no longer undei
ban. She is not forced to suffer in
dignities at home in preference to tn
reproach OF going out 10 sell her labo
and her industry. This is woman'
emancipa ton, as 1t offers her an ave
nue. Of escape when she. requires it-ai
avenue that man has always had.
