TN THE history Of Delaware there
Il has never been a more brazen or
bold raid upon the state Treasury than
was made in the closing hours OF the
Legislature in the passage OF two bills
drawing out Of the state Treasury
$4,000.
A few years ago when there were a
number of capitalists anxious to secure
franchises for the construction Of a
trolley system to connect with the
New Castle trolley line. and running
south as far as Milford. John Edward
Addicks secured the franchise, intend
ing. It is said to use the labor thereon
for political purposes or to sell It at a
big profit to those who desired and
made the first effort to get the fran
chise.
The Addicks interest in order to get
the franchise and shut others out, were
obliged to put up $500 for every mile
of road they engaged with the State
TO construct, and claiming that they
would construct 80 miles OF road there
was deposited as guarantee that the
franchise would be used and the road
constituted, Sl75OO at two different
times.
A great number OF farms were cut
up and fences torn down by the Ad-
dicks trolley line companies. Many
hundreds Of acres have been decided
to the companies by the farmers In
Kent and Sussex counties. The effort
TO sell the franchise TO those who in
all probability, had they not been shut
out would have constructed the road.
failed. The trick and scheme to hold
up the capitalists who were acting In
good faith with the State. did not
work. and by the operation the people
Of Kent and Sussex counties and lower
New Castle lost the opportunity Of a

contributes the following poem entitled
Springs Awakening" to the New York
Observer:
AS night and day pour forth their blended
power
To tint the petal of the opening flower;
AS birds pipe out their twitter to their
mate
And thus obey the changeless laws Of
Fate;
AS budding leaves reflect with gem-like
hues
The Sunshine that with golden sheen
imbues
The shade OF forest and the streamlet's

I know that Spring hath waken'd from

The AGRA Diamond.

In addition to the monster premier
diamond there is another weu-known
gem under the spotlight jus. now. This
is the Agra diamond which was recent
~ sold at auction In a London sales
room. Like many other diamonds this
stone has had adventures. IT gets its
name from the fact that it was taken
at the battle of Agra in 1926 by the
Emperor Baber, who was the founder
OF the Mogul empire in India. The
marquis of Donegal was in Agra IN
1897 when the diamond was taken from
the king of Delhi. Donegal was at
the time engaged as secretary and be-
longed to the same regiment as the
young officer who obtained possession
OF the diamond. 1t was resolved among
them to smuggle It home to England
rather than give it up and to share in
the loot money. The question arose,
how were they to get It home.
NO one seemed able to lit on a
method that. would be likely to meet
with success until the last evening
previous to the departure of the regi-
ment. During the course Of dinner the
youngest subaltern suddenly jumped up
and said, II have It; we will conceal
the d~Smond in a horse bail and make
the horse swallow IT," This met with
general appreciation. a bail was secured,
the inside scooped out, the diamond in
serted, the end stopped up and the
horse made to swallow II.
When the regiment reached the port
OF embarlSauon the horse was taken i'll
and had to be shot. The diamond was
taken from his stomach and brought
over TO England. II was subsequently
sold to the duke of Brunswick and since
then d has been recut from a 46-carat
stone TO 81 IL carats IN order to get
rid of the black spots in It. and 1t Is
the most perfect and brilliant diamond
of a rose pink color.

SO the campaign which was lnau-
gurated ia 1904 has ended. The fun
damental understanding on which
agreement was reached and the cam
paign waged has been repud.ated in
the Legislature.
Yet those in charge OF the Regular
Republican organization have been
amazingly generous-so generous that
they have been censured by many
staunch supporters Of the Regular or
ganization. In adjusting the state
ticket they accepted the candidate for
Congress named by the Union Repub-
llcans. yet they withdrew their own
candidate for Governor and substituted
another at the demand Of the Union
leaders.
The Union Republicans appealed to
the Regulars for funds to pay the ex-
penses OF the campaign. and got them.
Then they demanded the organization
Of both houses OF the Legislature, and
the Regulars, yielded.
They insisted on having the secre-
tary Of state and Union Republican
county chairman was named for the
place. There was a mutual under.
standing during the campaign that IN,
party was to be united, and all tina
was asked was that the Union Repub
licans should be treated fairly. Il

tie have yielded everything except tn

cans fan in line and march under the
banner Of Alice? what are the signs
by which we may Judge?
Well. the most significant item is
that Addicks began with twenty-five
votes and at the end could muster only
fifteen. And yet all the leaders we're
at work as formerly to hold their men
in line. The only possible explana-
ton for the breaking away of these
men is that they are tired Of Addicks-
ism and Alleeism; Of bossism, imbecll-
ity. and selhshness. II must be that
these men when they fought during
the campaign for reallgnment and har-
mony meant It; and that although they
were from Kent and Sussex they real
lied that the Republicans Of New
castle have some rights. and that hon
orable men keep their pledges.
Now what OF the future2 You re-
member the words Of Paul Jones who
when asked to surrender said: q have
not yet begun to fight? You remem-
Der the tactics OF Grant who when at
close Of day found the battle going
against him, gave the order: Renew
the attack at daylight"g These con-
tain the true spirit OF men with good
red blood in their veins. only the
viii be different.
The honest, fair-minded Republicans
of lint and Sussex are in harmony
with the same kind Of Republicans in
New Castle. Their hands are against
pirates who cut throats and scuttle
ships. They will not serve the pur-
poses OF men who break pledges and
regard It as a piece Of humor. They
are for a party united in decency and
integrity. Let It come-and let us help
to hasten the day. For If the destlnies
of the Republican party OF Delaware
are TO be held IN the hands Of Alice,
then the Republican party should re-
pent and become converted.

THE AFTERMATH.

II HE Legislature has adjourned
4 without date. refusing to elect a
United states Senator. and denying
Delaware her full representation in
our national legislature.
For this failure the selhshness and
ssubbornness Of a few men are respon-
s.ble. They are
J. Frank Alice,
C. r. Layton,
Dr. George W. Marshall and
John Edward Addicks.
There are others Of minor import
anoe. but had these four men decided
on a reasonable program for the elec-
ton Of Senator. one would have been
elected.
We mention Senator Alice first, be-
cause by reason OF his position as Sem
ator and as chairman Of the Union Re-
publican party he naturally has con-
siderable influence; and this he exerted
from the preliminary caucus to the
close OF the session 10 maintain
deadlock. His reason is well under
stood: BY reason Of this vacancy he
hopes to control the entire Federal
patronage. and two years hence TO
'make a bargain by which he VIII be

giving New Castle county the term OF
four years. Thus Kent county Is TO
be represented in the Senate continu-
ously and the upper portion OF the
state only occasionally. and then when
IT suits j. Frank Alice. II is possible
that his plans win fail
C. r. Layton was something Of a
factor as long as he remained in Of
hce but since his return to Georgetown
there have been evidences Of his loos-
ening grip. The part he played was
10 hold the Union Republicans in line
on the organization, in the endeavor to
force the new Governor 10 retain him
as Secretary Of State It was bold
bluff, but It didn't succeed.
George w. Marshall appears to have
had no particular motive but sentiment
tai attachment to the cause OF Ad-
dicks and Alice. on election night he
sent jubilant message to Senator AL
lee assuring him Of a complete Union
Republican sweep; and during the ses-
SION. while not losing sight Of an

his ONCE. he has yet wrought valiantly
. for a deadlock DIR. Marshall has farec
well at the hands OF the Republicans Of
