Rrulsers-In RInr or on Field.

Governor Pennypacker Of Pennsylvania
is receiving high praise for preventing a
twenty-round boxing bout which had
been advertised to take place at North
Essington, recently, and Governor Hig-
gins of New York is also being commended
for his announced determination to put
a stop TO boxing bouts in New York.
Most Of the encomiums are based upon
the blow which these executive actions
strike at boxing contests in general, but
both governors are also praised for up
holding the law. which in New York State
prohibits these contests absolutely, and
in Pennsylvania permits them only under
limited conditions.
However, now that public sentiment is
directed against permitting men with
their hands protected by large gloves to
batter each other within the squared
circle, under clearly defined rules and
regulations, there is room for the hope that
it may 90 further and demand a sup
preston Of the horrid brutalities which
are not only countenanced but encour-
aged throughout the country, year after
year, under the guise OF football contests.
A contrast of these two popular sports"
shows: Boxing is seldom fatal; it will
not average one fatality a year Foot
bali caused about fifty deaths last season
alone, in addition TO more than thou
sand serious accidents.
Boxing contests consist Of three-minute
rounds, with minute rest between each;
the rules prohibit an foul tactics and hit
ting below the belt. Football is divided
into two Commute rounds and permits

The only Issue Laft.


In the course Of a speech at Newton
Iowa preiacing his remarks with the
statement that he was authorized to
speak for the national administration, %
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw said.
"The Democratic party in the coming
election will not demand free trade 1t
will simply echo the Cummins cry for
revision. The next Congressional cam
paign will be made up on the issue now
being urged within our ranks and the
success Of the Cummins' wing Of the Re
publican party in Iowa will do more to
strengthen the hands Of our political
opponents than any other one thing pos
sible between now and election day next
November"
The Cummins here alluded 10 is Gov
ernor Cummins of Iowa, author Of the
"Cummins idea" that the tariff should
be revised by the Republican party, with
out waiting for the revision that will
surely follow Republican overthrow and
the inauguration'of Democratic admin
istration.
Secretary Shaw's remark in this connec-
tion is significant. His opposition to the
"Cummins idea" in which he said he was
authorized 10 speak for the national ad-
ministration," may be accepted as a fact
that President Roosevelt, who is the en-
tire Republican party, has decided to
"stand pat" on the tariff and take the
chances Of victory or defeat this year on
the issue Of no tariff revision.
This being the case, the Democratic
party will be compelled to accept the
challenge. Indeed, there is no other issue
left President Roosevelt has plundered
the Democratic national platform Of 1904
by forcing Congress to enact antitrust
legislation, to pass a Railroad Rates bill
and to provide for Federal supervision
and he has outranlxed the widest Demo
cratic demagogues in denouncing tn,
Federal judiciary.
Therefore, there is nothing left for tn,
Democratic party but a fight for tariff
reform. Il is fortunate, in view of othel
conditions, that President Roosevelt ha,
not deprived it Of this issue also.

Mr. Rose offered resolutions in memory

lutions be spread upon the journal Of the
Senate and that an engrossed copy be
sent 10 the family OF the deceased.

Kansas, but declined the appointment is

the soil, and by application and expert
ence, coupled with intelligent study, has
become an authority in this important
branch Of the country's industry. He
has written works on farm subjects that
are accepted as standard authorities, and
has held the position Of Secretary OF
Agriculture in the government Of Kansas
He also achieved high reputation by
organizing and managing the stock de-
partment OF the Louisiana Purchase Ex-

Had Mr.. Cobwn consented to 60 to the

the United States senate was duly con-
frmed, at Dover last night, so far as the
caucus Of the Republican majority Of the
Legislature WAS concerned, when Col
Henry A. du Pont was nominated, ro-
caiving 20 votes, to 10 for J Edward Ad-
dicks and one for Herbert II. Ward.
There was some early morning talk about
a refusal by portion Of Addicks' fol-
lowers to abide by the result Of the
caucus, but there is little probability Of
this talk amounting TO much, The two
houses Of the Legislature were excepted TO
take a ballot ut noon today, and at this
writing there is no reason to doubt that
Col du Pont win receive a majority Of
all the votes cast in Senate and House,
which viii make his election practically
complete. A Joint session at noon to-
morrow, for q comparison Of the journals
Of the two houses so far as they relate TO
the ballot takon for Senator, will be
followed by a formal declaration Of his
election and the signing Of certificates
thereof.
Thus, after struggle which began at
the legislative session Of 1905 and has
continued without the slightest cessa-
lion ever since, seat in the United States
Senate for Delaware has at last been
knocked down to the highest bidder.
For a long while Addicks had the field Of
purchase 70 himself, and the remnant Of
virtuous Republicanism In Delaware
made itself immortal by resolutely re-
sisting his attempts to make his bar
gains complete. Then came a change in
the programme Of resistance TO Addicks
"a resort by Others TO the disreputable
means Of purchase that he had been em-
ploying. Simultaneous with this change
Addicks' financial condition suffered,
and from a very wealthy man. able 10
compete with anybody in bidding for the
Sonatorship, he became comparatively
poor, without the means of meeting
tho golden offers which his competitors
were dangling before the eyes Of those
who had the prize at their disposal
Tho result was only natural. Bound
to Addicks only by the ties Of money.
when these ties werc sundered his fol-
lowers found no difficulty in transferring
their allegiance, or, what was more inn
portant, their votes, to the man whose
wealth remained intact
As for Addicls, there viii be few TO
lament bis miserable fate. He intro
duced coWardly and disreputablo tao
tics into what had always been in this
State an honorable contest among
gentlemen for the highest office within
the gift Of our people. The original cor
ruptionist and huckster for a seat in the
Senate, he was outhuckstered and driven
from the market place by customer
with a longer purse. He was defeated
by the disgraceiul methods he had in.
troduced, and now is left with his shame

This is the only difference between
victor and vanquished in this degrade,

Senate which has proved such sham

begins with a "B," as does Burtons,
which naturally recalls the old coupet
about a woman marrying and thereby
changing her name; "A change of name

not for the better" Il IS hoped it will
