The Carpetbagger In Delaware.

The nomination of Colonel HENRY A.
DUPONT for United States Senator by
the Republican aucus at Wilmington
marked the end of a remarkable political
conspiracy.
At the legislative session of 1889 a
little Boston lobbyist who called himself
j. EDWARD ADDIcKs, believed that
every man had his price and that vir-
tue was an abstraction, and could
understand deals but not ideals, put in
an appearance and got next to the
lawmakers. He wanted a charter for a
gas company, but casually remarked to
nobody in particular but to everybody
in general that SO far as he was con-
oerned the United States Senatorship
need not go begging. On his way down
from Boston he had gathered from the
gossip of a Delaware friend that the
State whose motto is Liberty and
Independence" would make a pocket
borough for a man who knew human
nature and always had the price. To a
thimblerigger in finance a Senatorship
offers a vista of opportunities that has
no vanishing point, AID the strangers
persiiage was the screen Of a sordid
design on the electorate of Delaware.
To a man who had iuggled with fran
chises in Massachusetts, the politics Of
the little State with three counties and
a rural population with which a dollar
went a long way was a simple problem.
The Boston lobbyist born in Philadel-
phia soon had a machine, and leaders
in the hundreds soon had handsome
stock certificates and little rolls of the
"long green" with rubber bands around
them. The "magnate" called them SIN"
and AL" and they addressed him obse-
quiously as Senator" Bucolic Delaware
paid off its mortgages and the circulat-
ing medium went round and round.
The benefactor was idealized as well as
idolized. His contributions redeemed"
Delaware from the Democracy. Hemust
therefore be a man worthy Of respect.
"Ive been associated with ADDICKs
ten years" said one of his heelers,
4and | never knew him to take a drink
of whiskey or a chew Of tobacco, or to
uo dIstIiihR " man Sliouib NO uSiidlntu
of. He is a remarkable man, a great
man, one Of the greatest in the world"
He was, with that sort, so long as his
money held out.
For eleven years this student of human
nature stood between Delaware and her
full representation in the Senate. Dur
ing two years of his greatness Delaware
had no Senator at all in Washington.
The Hon. ANTHONY HIGGINS, who headed
a contesting delegation from Delaware
to the Republican national convention in
1895, spoke Of ADDIcKs at a meeting of
the national committee as that crea-
ture" and a moral IDIOT" How did the
carpetbagger so described contrive to
hold his wretched OWL year after year
in the once aristocratic State of Della
ware? The answer may be taken from
the lips of one OF his beneficiaries: "For
fifty years it has been well known that
the balance of power in Delaware lay in
a purchasable vote. Both parties and
the factions have bought votes. There
has been no secret about il. Before l
was actively in politics l saw votes paid
for and delivered,
But it was addition, division and silence

When the contest over the codicil to the
will Of Christopher G. Shayne. the fur mer.
chant, who died some months ago, came on
for hearing yesterday before Surrogate
Thomas, an adjournment was asked for
and refused. The contestants then en-
nounoed that they would Withdraw all
opposition to the probate proceedings. and
the codicil was admitted.
BY the codicil Mr.. Shayne so far revoked
his will as to bequeath everything he owned
to his wife, remarking that he left it to her
discretion to carry out other provisions as
to requests contained in the will. Mr.;
Shayne's mother, who would have benefited
largely, under the will, and several nephews

that Mr.. Shayne was not competent when he
executed the codioili in January last, a month
before he died.

Corporation Counsel Delany in an opinion
he has prepared for Mayor Mcclellan holds
that the marlborough Rapid Transit COM
pany has no right to construct a third track
on the Third avenue elevated system under
the terms OF the original franchise and must
get a new franchise. It applied for one to

see what the result of the accident
was. The presiding judge scored him
mercilessly. declaring that American
autoists had acquired the habit of run
ming down French peasants as merci-
lessly as if they were chickens. Every
influence that wealth and position could
bring to bear was used on behalf of
Shepard, both during the trial and after
the conviction. Now however, it ap-
pears that the French department of
justice is memorable. Shepard must go
to jail
And We have no doubt that a great
majority of Americans will entirely ap-
prove the sentence. If Shepard had
been without money or influence he
would have served out his term long
since. Perhaps a much severer SEN
tence would have been imposed. Let
it once be heralded abroad that he is
in prison for his offense and there will
be no effort on the part of American
or other autoists to break the French
laws regulating the ownership and op-
GRAFTON OF their cars.
No American of prominence has yet
been sent to Jail in this country be-
cause of an automobile accident, though
threats to this effect have been made
frequently by magistrates.

FRENCH JUSTICE.

istry of justice. 1t is no respector of
persons. A few days ago it announced
its decision in the case of young Elliott
F. Shepard, sentenced to serve three
months in jail for running over and
killing the child of a peasant father and
mother. The decision is that the SEN
lence may be commuted 10 six weeks in
prison but that Shepard certainly must
serve this length of time, The history
of the case is. perhaps, familiar, but
At will bear repetition.
Shepard is 80 years old, very wealthy
and a grandson of W. X. Vanderbilt
He has in late years devoted his time
exclusively to an effort 10 see just

THE ENGLISH DISASTER.

The boasted safety of the English
railroads was given a terrific setback
Sunday morning when a train on the
London Southwestern jumped the
track, killing twenty-three passengers
instantly and seriously wOunding many
more. All accounts agree that the train
was being operated at a rate of speed
far In advance of the safety line. One
of the railroads regulations was that
no trains should be run at this partic-
ular point at greater speed than
thirty miles an hour. 1t is the con-
sensus of opinion that this particular
train was speeding at more than sixty
miles an hour. The only way to ac-
count for this fact is on the theory
that the engine driver who, with his
fireman, was instantly killed, must
have suddenly lost his mind.
Such heavy loss of life would be de-
plorable under any circumstances, but
the disaster is brought home TO the
people of the United States with much
twenty of the twenty-three dead and
seven OF the injured were Americans.
And most of them were Americans Of
prominence. in their home cities. The
wrecked train was carrying passengers
from an American line steamer. they
having disembarked at Plymouth to
go to London. Many more would have
taken the train had the boat not been,
most Fortunately, several hours behind
scheduled time, thus making it nee
essary for those desiring to take the
train to get off the ship at a late hour
in the evening.
1t is difficult for Americans TO con-
ceive how there could be such great
loss of life in such an accident. The
train was run for first-class passengers
and the equipment was, or should have
been. frst-class in every particular.
Such a train in the United States
would have been made up entirely of
Pullmans. The dispatches say the
bodies of the coaches We're stripped
from the trucks and piled in indescrib-
able confusion. Such a thing could
not under any conceivable circum-
stances happen to a frst-class train in
this country.
A somewhat similar wreck. it will be
remembered, occurred in the United
States some months ago when one of
the eighteen-hour fliers between New
York and Chicago was wrecked at Men
tor, Ohio. On this occasion the train
left the track on account of an open
switch and crashed into the station
building. There was loss of life only
in one of the passenger cars, that near
est the engine, and this in spite OF
the fact that the train was running al
a speed greater than sixty miles al
hour.
Undoubtedly there will be a very
thorough investigation of the English
disaster. and with the knowledge now
at hand il would seem that one of the
first results should be q Strengthening
of the rolling stock used in the pas.
senger service on English roads.

TIE ELUSIVE DIAMOND.

Gardiner F. Williams, general man.
ager of the DeBeers diamond mines In
South Africa. has an interesting arti-
Gle in the current National Geographic
cal Magazine on the subject of diamond
mining. Mr.. Williams tells of the diff
culties attendant on the search for the
gems and while most people are aware
that one doesn't find them easily, it
will be a revelation to many to learn
just how much work is required For
example, Mr.. Williams says that every
year 100000 tons of blue ground are
washed in the DeBeers mines every
diamonds that could be put in box
two feet nine inches square. The soil,
he says, if made into a cube would be
bigger than any cathedral in the whole
world. Mr.. Williams continues:
Diamonds are so highly priced and
so imperishable that the amount of
these gems in existence may almost he
reckoned as the total of the world
production, ranging in value through
hundreds of millions of dollars. Mr..
Kunz does not estimate a loss of per
cent in hundred years, and the South
African diamond fields alone have con-
tributed over $4O0, 00O, 900 in value to the
worlds stock. Yet the demand in
creaseS apace with the worlds growth
in wealth, and no diversion of the
worlds fancy is apparent"
OF interest, too, is Mr. Williams
story of the search for an automatic
diamond sorter, a machine to catch
the diamonds automatically as the soil
is washed. After numerous failures
shaking tables were made of corrugated
cast-iron plates in five sections. each
thickly coated with grease. 1t was
learned that the diamonds would stick
to the grease and that all other min
erals would pass over it. Only about
one-third of one per cent of the dia-
mOnds. Mr. Williams says. is lost by
the first table. and these are recovered
a.
trates are passed over the second table.
Mr. Williams goes on: The discrimi-
nation of this sorter is surely mar
veIous. Native workers, although ex-
perienced in the handling of diamonds
often pick out small crystals of zircon
or Dutch boart, by mistake; but the
senseless machine is practically un-
erring. 1t will catch rubies, sapphires
and emeralds as we'll as diamonds, but
so far as it has been tested. il will not
cling TO anything but precious stone
The grease loses its power after il
has been in use a few hours. Their
it is scraped off, with the diamonds ad-
ering to it, and steamed. The grease
then passes into tanks where it is
cooled and is again fit for use.
