REVENGE, THE MOTIVE.

OF all the ridiculous stories that
have been sent out of Washington
at this session of Congress none Is
so much so as the one sent by one
Gosner to the Charleston News to
the effect that in the conference on
the rate bill Senator Elkins had
sneaked sundry amendments into it
and that he was roundly rebuked by
the Senate for having done so. 1t
was woven out of the whole cloth,
and the absolute improbability of it
so apparent that it would fool none
but the unthinking. The writer OF
these lines has seen every one of the
six members Of that conference com
mittee and they say that it is too
absurdly ridiculous as to be un-
worthy of a formal denial. That
committee is composed of six of the
strongest men in Congress, Senators
Elkins, Cullom and Tillman, and
Representatives Hepburn, Sherman
and Richardson. And to say that
any one of Them could "sneak" in a
provision without the knowledge OF
the other five is such an insult to
their intelligence as to bear the
stamp Of falsehood upon its face.
No one who knows anything at all
about the way a conference com
mittee transacts business, unless he
be deliberate prevaricator, would
assert such a thing. Every amend
ment to that bin, as it. went to the
eommittc was gone over and every
change was made only by majority
vote of the conferees. The report
was then made up and signed by each
member of the conference. The
statement is so completely at vari-
ance with the facts as to be its own
answer, and is only referred to here
to show the ends to which certain
newspaper will go TO strike Senator
Elkins just because its editor was
not appointed collector of internal
revenue.

COLE MTGRATEs.

The Morgantown Chronicle refers
to Senator George G. Coles office
migratory habit in the following
facetious manner. but whatever may
be said there is nothing like TRYING
until one gets a position that suits
him:
''Talk about extremes. Ex-Sen-
ator George c. Cole, of Lewis coun-
ty, has about reached the limit. He
was sent to Bucnos Ayres, far down
below the equator where shadows by
day point south instead of north,
and at night at great cross blazes
in the heavens in lieu of the North
star, which is forever invisible. Mr..
Cole thought he was too far outside
of creation, and he asked for a
change, and he got it. He has been
given a post as consul at Dawson,
Yukon territory, within about sixty
miles of the arctic circle. He may
have thought Buenos Ayres was on
the confines Of the earth's border
land but what about Dawson? The
North star is almost overhead, and
the sun skins around the horizon,
sometimes just above it. and some
times just below. The ground
never thaws in summer, and mer-
curry freezes in winter; and in the
first warm days of spring there are
more mosquitoes to the square mile
than could be found on the whole
continent of South America. If Mr..
Cole wants another change he will
have to be sent as consul general to
the moon"

No matter what opinions may be held
as TO the justice of Arzona's claim for
admission to the Union as a full-hedged
state. there should be a hearty indorse-
ment Of her protest against admission to
Statehood through being joined to New
Mexico
Arizona has more Of the real elements
of Statehood than New Mexico, although
neither Territory measures up to what
should be the standard Combined they
would not have more than sufficient popu-
lation. although in area they would be
enormously unwieldy.
But there is a wide diversity in the
character Of the population OF these two
Territories Arizona is peopled by about
10000 Americans. New Mexico has a
population Of $4,000, composed of Span
iards, Mexicans, "greasers, % "Bull' An
drews, who wants to be one Of the hrt
United States Sepators and q few Ameri-
cans. The proportion Of Spanish resi-
dents is eight to five Of other nationalties,
and the real Americans are in a deep
minority. It is no wonder that the
American population of Arizona resenis
the idea of being yoked to such a mongrel
assortment Of peoples as New Mexico is
inhabited by, and being compelled to
yield in political submission to these dis
cordant and unsympathetic foreign ele-
ments, as it would be in the event Of joint
Statehood, through being outvoted in all
popular elections.
Arizona is not insistent on Statehood at
present, although her people would be
pleased at being admitted into the family
Of States She is content TO remain a
Territory until her population increases
10 the full limit OF Statehood. II would
be wellior Congress to respect her wishes
in this respect, and refrain from forcina
her into a Statehood marriage with New
Mexico-a union that would be speedily
followed by an application for divorce.

The Antl-Rrlnery campaIgn.


Il is with great pleasure that we give
place in this issue to a letter from Mr.. A.
N. Brown of Wyoming, which accom-
panied a copy Of the anti-bribery pledge
suggested by Mr.. Robert G. Houston Of
the Sussex Republican Of Georgetown
a copy Of which was printed in Every
Evening on Monday, and which Mr.. Brown
signed as a citizen of Representative Dis
trict No. Z, Kent county. We commend
Mr. Browns earnest suggestions to the
careful consideration Of all who may feel
an interest in this important subject.
Mr.. Brown is a citizen who has made
himself known to the public by his interest
in public affairs, and by his earnest adj
vocacy of reforms in our State politics and
State government. twill be seen from his
letter that he has additional and exceed
ingly important interest in the matter
Of clean elections, as he has five sons just
entering young manhood, whom, as he so
truly says il is his duty ''to protect from
the dire influences of this barter in human
birthrght and the highest prerogative OF
American citizenship
There are other fathers in Delaware who
have sons just entering young manhood
and who have the same interest in their
welfare as citizens The cause Of pure
elections should appeal to them, as it has
appealed to Mr.. Brown. Let all such
follow his example and enroll themselve.
in the organization which it is proposed
TO form for the purpose Of endeavonng to
rid the State Of Delaware of the curse OF
corrupted elections.

There is little probability Of dissent
from the opinion Of City Solicitor Town
send, as contained in his communication
to the Board of Health which was printed
IN Every Evening, yesterday TO the effect
that the power to award contracts for the
collection and removal Of garbage in this
city is vested solely in the City Council.
The Board Of Health, IN the exercise of its
police powers, may see that the work Of
collecting, removing and disposing Of gar
bage due care is exercised for the protec-
ton of public health and comfort
But in the exercise Of It's power in the
premises, the City Council should not fail
to give attention to reducing the burden
of expense which is imposed upon the city
in the matter OF collecting and disposing
Of the garbage. This service at present
costs the city about $4,000 q year. Il is
commended that the work may be done in
such manner that instead Of costing a
large sum Of money annually il viii yield
profit.
Here is a proposition to convert a heavy
expense into a gain, and the City Council
should investigate with view 70 ascer-
tanning If such a transformation is pos
sible. If so, the opportunity should not
be neglected II the city may save the
$4,000 a year now expended in the gar
bage service il will be a great thing,

The reform forces Of Philadelphia have
not gone to sleep. There is every indica-
tion, now as before the election, that they
are fully aware that they cannot hold what
they have achieved without thorough prep
arahon and continuing watchiulness
They are aware also that they must cut off
as far as possible the sources of graft and
the weapons Of corrupt political power if
they want to keep the gaiters from fore
ing their way back into control. One very
important step which has been taken to
this end Is an order issued by Director Of
Public Safety Potter which iorbids police
men and fremen INDUCING in political
activity. Membership in any ward or
other political committee is forbidden, as
is also the serving as delegate to any poll
tical convention.
