Under the Caption "What will Sus-
sex do?" the Union Republican of
Georgetown comes out in defense of
the Union Republican Party, which
just now is said to be split in old Sus-
sex. 1t SAYS:
GA great deal of nonsense has been
written in regard to the political situa-
alton in Sussex County within the past
week or two. Some writers have even
gone so far as to declare that the ap-
pointment of Joseph L. Cahall as Sec
retary of State would split the Union
Republican party of Sussex. The writ
ers evidently wished to see such split,
as there is not the slightest reason for
division among the Union Republicans
of this county. That the party was
divided between DR.. Layton and Mr..
Cahall it is true, but that division
ceased to exist as soon as the appoint.
ment was made. The two men have
been friends for years and are still
friends. If the contest has not les
sened their friendship surely there is
no reason why those whose interests
were not affected at all should desire
to wreak their vengeance on the party
simply because their favorite did not
win. The party is greater than either
man, and no one desires to see it re-
main so more than these gentlemen do.
The party is united and without the
help of our Regular friends can defeat
the Democrats, but our little taste of
harmony has given us taste for more.
At least nine. tenths of the Republi-
cans of this county, regardless of fac
tions, are most heartily in favor of one
party for the county and state and
they not only want it but propose to
5SssFe it. The time has come to quit
this senseless fight. Let us have re-
organization of the party in Sussex.
OF course reorganization would mean
little difference in the leadership, ow-
ing to our majority, but by treating
our Regular friends as we would wish
to be treated if the situation we're re-
versed we can make them feel perfectly
at home with us.
There will doubtless be many
changes in the political situation in
Delaware during the next two years
and the past factional lines will prob
ably be wiped out. Let us hope that
during the process of re-ors anizatiou
fairness may prevail, and that the ma.
iority whether in New Castle or Sus
sex, shall recognize the rights of the
minority. If this rule is followed We
do not expect to again see the Repub
lican Party of Delaware divided. Lei
us forgive and forget. Both factions
have been foolish and arbitrary Al
times, and both factions have at times
had sufficient cause for feeling ag
grieved. We believe the party is go
ing to get together and there will b.
no Regulars or Unions in the mex
campaign-only Republicans. It is no
too soon to talk harmony"

BANKING BILL KILLED
MEASURE TO REGULATE PRIVATE
INSTITUTIONS POSTPONED
BY THE SENATE.
RJoRGE's COUNTY sUPERiNTENE
ENT OF SCHOOLS BILL DIES
IN THE HOUSE.

st. Paul, April 1.-The senate bank
ing committee bill for the regulation
of private banks was killed in the
senate Friday as the result of an
amendment by Senator Collier of
Shakopee.
The bill came up on general orders.
Senator McGill offered an amendment
for the benefit of private banks in
Hamline and st. Anthony Park; to
exempt from necessary Increase in
capital banks of $4,000 capital which
have been in business one year. This
amendment was Overwhelmingly voted
down on the ground that it would
nullify the bill, and on Senator Lords
remark that it would make it uncon-
stitutiona1
Senator Golfer then offered the fatal
amendment, to prohibit private banks
from loaning over 25 per cent OF their
capital to any one party.
Senator Collier said this amend
ment was needed. He said:
The only safeguard to the people
Of this state on private banks is to
limit the loans to one party If this
bill is passed unamended It makes the
private bank system for the people
worse than before, for they under
stand the old system, and. they would
have to learn the new without its
danger known to them. I,

No Primary Legislation.

The closing days of the ses.
sion of the legislature for the
year 1905 are at hand and practic.
ally nothing has been done to
ward amending the primary
election law, and it seems fairly
certain that no radical changes
will be made in the law for the
next two years.
Prediction was made by the
Pioneer some weeks ago that this
would be the result of the prim
airy law discussion and it was
pointed out at that time, that
while the law is in some particu
lars unsatisfactory to almost
everyone, we have, been utterly
unable to agree as to how it ought
to be changed. No two men can
be found with like ideas on the
subject. The fact of the matter
is that the principle of the law
is eminently satisfactory but it's
workings are developing a good
many unpleasant things that the
makers of the law never dreamed
of. That the law is gradually
putting political parties out OF
existence cannot be doubted, and
this is the most serious feature OF
it, for our whole system of poll.
tics is based upon political par.
ties and to do away with them
means revolution and the bring.
ing it Of new conditions of which
we are uncertain.

SATURDAY evening the indie.

At the meeting it developed
that there was great diversity of

stand that the board of education

The long agony" is at last over.
The city council passes the depot or
dinance, and the Iron Mountain has a
tifiy-year lease OH South Common.
The city council met in special ses-
sion Monday night. Mayor White pre-
siding, and all the aldermen answer
ed present.
The mayor announced that the first
question to be considered was the pro-
posed new Iron Mountain depot. A
petition from the board of trade was
read. II endorsed the proposition.
and asked the council to pass the de-
pot ordinance. The clerk then read
the ordinance for the information OF
those aldermen who were not pres
ent at the last meeting of the council
Alderman Wells amendment to re-
duce the lease period from fifty to
twenty-five years on South Common
was then called up, and Alderman
Boyce thought it ought to pass. On
the roll call every alderman voted
for the change except Messrs. Riley
and Fox
In discussion of the plans and
specifications Mayor White stated
that Architect Xbb had said that tn.
council had no need for his services
before the adoption of the ordinance,
but Alderman We'll objected on the
grounds that after the ordinance had
been adopted no change could be
made in plans and specifications, but
the city attorney said that the con-
tract could be made to cover that

AS to whether the poles for the
lights should be in the center Of the

railroad be required to place the poles
at the curb instead of in the center
of the street. 1t was tie vote, and
the mayor voted no, and the motion
was lost, and the poles go in the cen
ter of the street.

ment to the effect that all other roads

The sweeping cut in the salaries of
all officers or Office employees of the
Equitable announced by Chairman
Paul Morton, including his own an
nual income, several days ago. went
into effect today. The reductions are
from 25 to 10 per cent on all salaries
from 100000 down to $1,000, and will
effect, it is estimated, saving Of
about $150,OOO a year. This is ex-
elusive of the amounts that will be
saved on the salaries of the president
and the first vice president, who for.
merly received 100000 year, but
in future will get only $4,000.

PETITIONING AGAINST 1T
RAILROAD COMMISSION ORDER PRO.
H'sIT,Ne RAILROADS FROM HAULING COTTON com.
PRES WITHOUT oMPREssEo-woRks INJURY TO
PRESSES

There is at present an order stand
ing. issued by the railroad commits
sion. to the effect that no cotton shall
pass a compress impressed. This
rule. while a good one for the rail-
roads. is still a better one for the
city. but it seems that there is a
movement to cut Pine Bluff out of the
revenue derived by the cotton COM
presses. There were about twenty
thousand bales of cotton compressed
here last year. The rate is thirteen
cents per 100 pounds. and allowing
five hundred pounds to the bale 1t is
easily seen what an enormous sum
would be taken from local presses IT
the commissions order stands. It is
said that compress is to be built at
McGehee. If it is every bale of cot
ton that formerly came to this place
below McGehee would have to be
pressed at that place, under the order
of the commission.
In order to stop this movement and
keep things in their present condition
Secretary Johnson of the board of
trade is circulating the following Pc
tition:

Washington, August 1.-(Special.) }
Rumors that a boycott against Ameri-
can goods in China was contemplated
reached this country as long ago as
last summer. but if the government
had similar information, it was. ap-
parently, suppressed and disbelieved
by the officials at Washington. The
situation, to state it plainly. is grow
ing alarming and officials no longer
attempt to deny it. China is admitted
on all hands to be the greatest un-
developed buying market in the world
today. Its pOtentialities are, as has
often been shown, little hort of
marvellous. The Chinese govern
ment is indeed reported in all it's dis
patches as being opposed to the boy
colt. but its sincerely is doubted. 1t
now seems certain that American bus
mess men with interests in China
will, during the next session of con-
eresS. persuade the national legis-
latOrs to take an attitude less
severe toward China in order to ward
off the threatened serious blow to
American commerce in the Orient.

We, the undersigned business men

We, the undersigned business men of
-----, having learned that you
meet on August 9. 1905, for the pur-
pose of amending your rules in regard
to hauling cotton by compress points.
beg leave to hereby petition your hon.
orable body to put in force a ruling
allowing a shipper the privilege of
shipping his cotton by a compress
point to any other compress point
and enjoy the benefit of the concen-
tration rate, as was the case before
the present ruling was put into eff
feet
Under the working of the present
rule we are either forced to sell our
cotton at home, or if we ship by a
compress, to pay the full local rate,
which amounts to IS cents per bale.
Trusting that you will see the just
ice of this petition and grant our re-
quest, we beg to remain, most re-
spectfully yours.
This petition has been sent to all
the towns below Pine Bluff that used
the presses here, in order to help
bring about change in the order
Several of the petitions have been
returned already with large number
of signatures.
