I'rostra

AS usual, the maximum oniclal tenn
peratures were everywhere exceeded
by those prevailing in the crowded
streets. where the actual temperature
frequently exceeded 100 degrees.
The cumulative effect OF the con
tinued torridity of these days was pain
fully evident in the enormous Increase
of the number of deaths in New York.
While the death roll of Tuesday was
only 26 that of yesterday reached the
APPALLING total of 70. This was almost
entirely due to collapse OF young chill
dren and aged persons. whose eX-
hausted Vitality was unequal to the
strain Of further suffering.
After a night OF sweltering heat
spent by thousands in the streets, in
the public parks. on piers along the
river front. and in every vacant place
that promised n breath of air. the con-
ditions that confronted the people Of
New York were terrifying. The sun
rose in cloudless sky. and hour after
hour the heat grew more and more in
tense Every ambulance was kept busy.
and by noon the hospitals were crowd
ed with sufferers.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon came
the long prayed for relief, when a ter
rife thunder storm and a deluge of
rain burst over Brooklyn and the
lower part of Manhattan and sections
OF New Jersey
Among the distressing incidents of
the day was the killing of her infant
in Brooklyn by young woman who
was suddenly driven insane by the
heat. She stabbed the child to death
and then made a vain attempt on her
own life.
Several of the deaths reported were
those of persons who had fallen. while
asleep. from fire escapes. where they
were endeavoring to escape the sitting
atmosphere of crodded tenements.
With $50 bodies in the cold storage
room at the city morgue. the refriger-
atinf symtem was found to be out of
order. and it was necessary to resort
to the use of tons of ice in which the
bodies were packed, and 80 bodies
were hurriedly shipped to the Potter's
Field.

ground method to influence the public.
An interesting story is told in Washington Of how
the mayor foled one effort Of the Hearst managers
to make political capital The schedule of the trip
of Prince Louis Of Battenburg to this country called
for his arrival in New York about a week before the
election. This, Of course, was just as the Hearst
men would desire What fire time they would have
in picturing the mayor dining with the snobs = and
the g. scion of the effete monarchy" In fact the
plan Of the Hearst men to take advantage of the visit
was fully incubated. It was to be the final body
blow that would put the mayor to sleep.
But Mcclellan heard Of the plans and promptly
teegraphed the British Ambassador at Washington
to delay the visit of royalty to New York. The
Mayor naively hinted that the Prince might be made
the subject Of biting cartoons and caustic criticism
that comes in the heat of campaign
The British Ambassador at Washington did not.

The plans for the visit were promptly changed. The

The time has come when the par

test against the rules Of game IN
which such accidents can happen- Two

that the casualties I'm the game of foot

A REPUBLICAN, STATE

q ERTAIN pretended Democratic organs and in
~ >dividuals complacently assume that without the
use of money in elections. as they call it. Delaware
would be hopeessly Democratic. They have re-
jterated this fiction so often that many persons are
inclined to accept what they so boastfully declare,
as the truth The real Democratic leaders, those
who have fought the battles OF their party,whie the
false prophets were applying the sdlleto, know the
falsity of such claims
Some years ago before the presumably large use
of money Sussex county was debatable ground.
Often it was carried by the Republicans. 1t was a
stronghold of the Wings and drifted naturally into
the Republican camp New Castle county for years
has been citadel of opposition to Democrats.
Kent was always more surely Democratic. The
factional fights Of the party, however crippled it
that the Democrats there have been steadily losing
ground. What once were rocked ribbed Demo
cratic districts have jumped into the Republican
camp.
Many persons forget that Democratic control of
the lower counties as well as their occasional VIC
tories in this county were obtained through the col
lection and assessment machinery as manipulated by
the machine leaders of the party. When this sys-
TEN was destroyed by the Constitutional convection,
shrewd Democratic leaders predicted that the
order of things would mean the downfall of their
party How we'll their predictions have been veri-
fl edl everyone knows.
Then. again, during the last few years there has
been change in the complexion of the populations
in many of the Kent and Sussex hundreds. New
persons from the north have come to Delaware.
Most of them have been Republicans. They have
supported that party and worked for its success at
the polls The border states" have changed
West Virginia is safely Republican, Maryland now
is considered debatable ground, Republicans have
gained in Kentucky and have actually carried Mis-.
souri,. Why, then, should not the party have in
creased in numbers in Delaware.
The same influences that have worked in those
states change in sentiment due, largely to the
evil effects Of the Cleveland administrations, drove
thousands of Democrats into the Republican camp.
Why then should not they have affected Delaware.
The Republicans of Delaware need have no fear
Of the result Of an election under any circumstances.
The only thing that could possibly defeat them is
internal dssensions. Lined up together solidy the
Republicans are about certain of carry ne Dela-
ware as anything politically can be assured. And
they are not biaded, either, by any oucry that Re
publican success is due to the use of money at the
polls. No sensible reason can be advanced to sup
port such a contention.
