A cREDITABLE VICTORY.

a ATER returns from Kent and Sussex coun-
4 \ ties show that the Republican majorities in
those districts are increasing. The sweep of the
Republican party in Delaware is greater than
MAS expected by the most sanguine. Kent's ma
iority is almost as large as it was two years ago,
and this good work reflects great credit upon the
Republican leaders.
The Democrats made determined effort to
regain the ascendency in Kent county. They
sadly failed. Sussex was expected TO roll up
good majority and there was no failure there of
the expectations The disaffeeton in Kent for
time looked serious, but the Republicans forgot
the bsd feeling caused by the family quarrel at
the convention. and all the leaders rallied to the
support OF the ticket The result in Kent shows
that the Republicans can dispute among them
selves. but that it is all over when they line up
against their political opponents at the polls.
That Kent county was the special citidel of as
sault for the Democrats was made manifest by
the movement against the Republicans under the
guise of the Anti Bribery League
Some Democrats are crying that money was
used at the election. That is their lone source
OF refuge. For years they have been complaining
that Rpublican victories were obtained in Della

They had detectives to intmdate the voters But
this appearance OF foreign detectives to watch our
citizens was strongly resented 1t was an off year
election, and the najorities were fully up to ex-
pectations. Altogether the Republicans have
every reason to feel proud of the triumph.

LET US NOT BREAK FAITH.

NOV that tn election is over, and it is known
IN that the Republicans will have in the Leg
islature large majority on joint ballot, and will
therefore be clothed with the responsibility Of
electng a successor to Senator Alice, that matter
will engage the attention of the Republicans
throughout the State for the next sixty days.
1t is not expected that New Castle county will
have much to say in the selection of the next
senator, for the reason that she now has a senator
who was elected because of his being the choice
of his county. 1t was then understood, and as
surance was given that the selection of the next
senator should be made by majority of the Kent
and Sussex Republican members in the Legisla-
ture.
BY reason of this county having a senator, and
Sussex a congressman, a Kent county man will
in all probability succeed Senator Alice. This
consideration the people of Kent and Sussex
exact and the people of New Castle county con-
cede it to them. There may be efforts made by
certain individuals to cook up a scheme by which
the senatorshp will come to this county, but
such plan will not be approved by the people in
this end of the State.
We favor acting in good faith with our friends
in Kent and Sussex, and say to them that the
privilege Of electng the next senator is theirs.
New Castle should and we believe will, keep
her hands off and respect the wishes of Kent and
Sussex Any other plan or scheme than this
THE JOURNAL will oppose, for the reason that
it would be breaking faith and doing that which
in our judgment would not be best, either for the
interest of the party or the welfare of the State

objection to such action the part of the head Of
the nation, but it has reen due more to their
never having before any occasion for such trip
In the early days Of our country, there was
neither interest nor connection with the outside
nor the facilities and safeguards such we now
have for making trip of that kind
The Presidents visit to Panama is one OF great
importance because it enables the head of our
government, who is called upon to deal with one
Of the most gigantic engineering problems the
world has ever heard Of to understand conditions
there, and TO act intelligently in making specific
recommendations pertaining thereto. The Pres-
dent realizes that view of the route of the canal
and an inspection of the method of working, and
what has already been done, will be most helpful
to him in determining upon those policies which
will bear upon that great work.
The preparations for the trip have been made
with great care, and it is source OF qualification
for us to know that the President and his family
will have every convenience and comfort possible
on an ocean voyage, and that every precaution
will be taken to guarantee his safety. Besides
being helpful to him in an official way, it will give
him much needed rest, and afford him an oppor-
tunity to have his health strengthened and in
vgorated by sea voyage.

ACCEPTS RESULT WITH GOOD GRACE.

r ECAUSE it was so Unexpected It is the
~ more gratifying that our Democratic
friends. and particularly our evening contempo-
rary accepts the Republican victory in Delaware
with so much good grace, and that they do not
set up as explanation of their defeat the old cry
Of bribery and corruption.
This election demonstrates beyond the ques-
ton of a doubt that Delaware is Republican, and
that money is not needed by the Republicans to
carry the State The issues before the voters this
year greatly favored the Republicans, and as in
dependent voting is becoming more general every
year. it is only reasonable to suppose that the
prosperous condition of the country, the good
times that prevail everywhere and the confidence
the people throughout the country have in the
administration of President Roosevelt should
have some effect upon the voters and the result
in this State
But be the reasons what they may, our Demo
cratic friends accept the result in kindly spirit
and remind the Republicans OF the responsibility
that their success has brought TO them.
This notable and unusual absence of bitterness
after the election is doubt due, in large meas
ure to the very clean and digniied campaign con
Quoted by both parties this year. There
complete absence OF mud-singing and personali-
ties. The candidates, as a rule, were worthy men,
and fairly represented their constituencies. There
was nothing said or done by any of the candi-
dates or their friends that should have aroused
the bitterness or antagonism of their opponents.
1t was an open, fair, square and clean fight, and
the pleasant way in which the losers accept their
defeat cannot fail to win the esteem and good
opinions of the victors.

AGE Limit" IS
ESTABLISHED
A True AdamIeSS Eden Which
FlOuriSheS in Allegheny
City, Pa.

A really truly" approach to an
Adamless Eden is a colony Of women
located in Allegheny City Pa.
This quaint community had -four
ished for forty years. and in all that
time not man Of any type has been
permitted within its boundaries as a
resident. The inexorable limit on boys
has been drawn at school age.
This Eden is known TO the present
generation simply as the widows
homes. The name is a misnomer, for
many of the residents Of the colony
are spinsters. Some Of the dwellers are
advanced in years, some are young
girls still in school or learning trades.
and others are toddlers of kindergar-
ten age.
The neat little brick dwellings ex-
tend along six different streets in the
best residence district. The exterior
Is unpretentious. Each house pre-
serves it's individuality in window
shades and curtains. and the general
neatness Is unimpeachable.
The garden is in the rear of the
dwellings. where ample space has been
plated as a park.
At no time is there contention, heat
ed argument or unseemly gossip This
Adamless Eden has its rules, and in
temperance in speech, manner or appe-
tite, questionable habits or pursuits.
unneighborly or unbecoming conducts
are cause sufficient to annul a lease
There are about 125 families in the
Adamless Eden, with also many lone
women. The families" are working
mothers with small children. or moth
ers who keep house for working daugh-
ters. or grandmothers and grand
daughters, aunts and nieces. sisters
living together, and all combinations of
feminine relationship.
Each dwelling has four cheerful
rooms. renting for $3.50 a month. Sin
gle rooms are 81 a month. Very few
families have a whole dwelling. Two
rooms are considered luxurious. An
outbuilding is known as the wash
house. where lower floor is fitted up
with stationary tubs and a coal stove,
and an upper floor for drying.

Editorial Opinion
The Result in Delaware.

Every Evening.
The election IN Delaware, yesterday.
resulted in a Republican victory, but
by much less than the usual propor-
tions.
The Republican majority in the state
will be about 1000. against a plurality
two years ago Of 4,S55 for President
Roosevelt
The Republicans have elected their
county ticket in each of the three coun-
ties, by reduced pluralities, but in a
complete manner. The Union Repubh-
can revolt IN New Castle county
petered out when It came to the voting
and the Court House Ring county
ticket was enabled to pull through by
a close margin.
The Legislature win again be largely
Republican. The Senate probably will
stand II Republicans to 6 Democrats
and the House 25 Republicans TO 10
Democrats. Complete returns may
change these figures slightly, but not
the result.
Therefore. a Republican successor to
Senator Alice will surely be elected.
But II is not presumed that Alice will
be chosen. The election OF Harry A.
Richardson OF Dover is far more prob
able.
II will not be denied that to Demo-
Gratis the result will be disappointing.
II seems, however. TO have been largely
due to Democratic apathy. The Re-
publican vote. particularly in New
Castle county, is smaller than two
years ago, as Republican conditions
made probable. But the Democratic
vote was also smaller. at a time when
political conditions should have aroused
every Democrat to the Importance OF
registering and voting, in the hope OF
prohtlng by the Republican division
and winning a victory.
However, the popular verdict has beer
rendered and must be respected. And
upon the Republican majority will rest
the responsibility for the administra
tion Of county and state affairs in Del
aware for the ensuing two years.

HIS ELECTION STRONGLY ENDORSED.

THE Democrats, who were so sorely disap-
4 pointed by the filling of the senatorial
vacancy last June, and the election OF Colonel
Henry A. dupont, were exceedingly anxious to
pull Delaware into the Democratic column this
year. Then they would claim the defeat Of the
Republicans meant a reputation of Senator
dupont and his unsought election. Happily the
people of Delaware did not view the matter in
that light, and the large Republican majority is
as much as anything an approval OF Senator
duPonts election and vote of confidence in his
leadership, This splendid clean victory OF the
Republicans, coming it does between his cleo
ton to and taking his seat in the Senate, is a
great testimonial to Colonel DUPONT and cannot
fail to have strong bearing on the contest which
the Democrats propose to make in the Senate
against him.

WASHINGTON, Nov s-Unprece-
dented in the history Of the Army OF
the United States is the action of the
President just announced in dismissing
In disgrace from the army an entire
battalion Of colored troops because Of
their failure to disclose the identity
of some Of their number who had been
guilty Of violence and murder. As an
evidence. however. OF his intention to
be fair 10 the colored troops, the Presi-
dent has accompanied his action by an
order which may amount to the court
martial OF a white army officer of high
grade who was charged with having
cast slurs upon the colored troops.
The story Of both actions is told In
the following official correspondence
made public to-day by the military sec
retary:

FOUND GUILTY ON

 National Bank H. G, COLL IS UNMOVED It Is Charged that Coll Made False Entries and Mlsapplled $25o,ooo.
 The Trial Lasted for
 Three Weeks.
H. G. COLL IS UNMOVED

Milwaukee, April 29.-Henry c. Coll. former assistant cashier of the First Ma tional bank of this city, was today found guilty by jury in the United States district court on nineteen counts out of thirty-four. The counts in the indictments against the defendant on which he was found guilty, relate to false entries and the misapplication of the funds in the bank, those relating to emhezzlement be- ing thrown out
 The verdict was reached by the jury after a session lasting eight hours, and was arrived at about o'clock this morn ing and presented to the court at Il a. m. The amount of money which Coll was alleged to have misapplied was about s250,O0O.
 Mfr. Coll was unmoved by the verdict and referred all interviewers to his at torneys. He was remanded to the GUS tody of the United States marshal.
 Attorneys for the defendant at once made 8 motion for a new trial. Judge Quarles announced that he would hear the argument on the motion tomorrow morning at Il o'clock The trial of Henry G. Coll lasted exactly three weeks. The most interesting part of the testimony was that offered by the former presi- dent of the bank, Frank G. Bigelow, who is now serving ten-years' sentence at the Fort Leavenworth prison, he hay ing pleaded guilty to footing the bank without undergoing a trial Bigelow tes- tifed that many of the acts with which Coll was charged were committed under his direction, but stated that he had no knowledge of some of them.

TypecaI Japanese eentIeman.

Eleanor Franklin in Leslies Weekly.
 The Japanese gentleman deserves the noble title. He is the result of centuries of the most rigid training in the art of being a gentleman that could possibly be devised. From our standpoint his sense of honor is not always accurate, but it is always fine, and to him it is his dearest possession. Suicide has always been his method of vindicating himself when his honor has been outraged or called in question, and the requirement of modern ideas had to be backed by imperial com mand before he would reinquish the custom. He is gentleness itself, and so deliberately polite that he makes the best bred foreigner crude by contrast. But he is by no means an every day person. and his imitators are by no means as nu- merous in the mass of population as are the imitators of the Occidental gentleman in his home across the seas. It is a mistake to imagine every man a gentle man who wears foreign clothes grace fully In fact, my experience is that most of them avoid trousers as much as possl- ble, and when they do put them on they cut but q sorry figure beside the we'll dressed westerner. One of the dearest gentlemen I know in the world dresses up" on state occasions in a pair of rusty black trousers that won't get down below his ankles for all his pulling and kick

Ianan,s AlIurInn shopkeepers.

Eleanor Franklin in Leslie's Weekly.
 Then there is the shopkeeper. What foreigner has not fallen an easy victim to his alluring smile and his we'll simulated indifference to personal benefit? I believe he has penetrated the inner inness of Occidental charac- ter and discovered that If anything will make the average Anglo-Saxm buy. it is the exasperating thought that the owner of thing doesn't care pin whether he sells it or not. Japanese shopkeepers are all alike. h the big cities most of them speak little Eng fish. and many of them speak 1t quite well. They dress in neat black klmo- nos and they wear foreign undercloth- ing that shows at the neck. The shop keeper initiates the man higher up, and as the man higher up evolves so does he. l suppose in few years there will be no more beautiful. soft kimonos. and all the knitted under shirts will be covered up with stiff, white bosoms and fashionable high collars. When that time comes the Japanese shop will have lost it's chief charm and the shopkeeper will no longer be able to beguile one with false smiles and Oriental politeness. He could never be convincing in the Japanese imitation of foreign trousers and frock coat But his wife will re main the same for a long time, and after all, she is as much part of the shop as he. She dresses rather care lessly in blue stuff kimonos with big black satin obi, and she sits all day on the matted floor, smoking cigarettes or her little bamboo-stemmed kiseru And she smiles as beguilingly as does her husband and sells as many things at twice their value, by pretending that she doesn't want to sell them at all The Japanese shopkeeper does not con tinue popular with the foreigner, and he is responsible for most of the sar castle criticism thau falls so heavily upon the wonderful little people" as a people.
