ELECTRIC LIGHTTNG PLANT.

a LMOST every intelligent man one speaks
with IS convinced or is becoming con-
WINGED that the partisanship should have little
or nothing to do with the management of the
affairs of a city.
There seems to be growing demand among men
who are outside the circles of the professional
politicians that the affairs of this city for example
shall be conducted purely in business-like man.

PARCELS POST EXPERIMENT.
D OsTMAsTER GENERAL HITCHCo

u OSTMASTER GENERAL HITCHCOCK is
l. much interested in the agitation over par
GELS post system, and he intends TO recommend
TO Congress in his forthcoming annual report that
a limited parcels post be tried on the rural free
delivery routes
The postmaster general foresees the establish
ment of general parcels post system throughout
the country as soon as the postais saving system
is thoroughly organized The plan of limited
system to be suggested by Mr.. Hitchcock is well
worth considering
The sentiment throughout the country is rapidly
growing in favor of parcels post scheme, and
it would be popular in all parts of the country
whereas the postals savings banks are in demand
only in certain regions.
Residents of other nations have the advantage
of the parcels post but in the United States it
is believed that the delay in adopting parcels post
has been due TO the violent and selfish opposi-
tion OF the express companies that desire TO con-
tinue unmolested their extortionate charges These
corporations believed to have eXerted vast
influence on Congress-
There is considerable sentiment in Delaware
for the parcels post. The Republican State Con-
venton strongly indorsed the plan. Our represen-
tative and senators therefore are committed to
support such a measure when it snail be brought
before Congress for consideration.

STRIKE" BILLS.

II FAIRS are expressed by the Democratic even
l ;no newspaper that strike bills will appear
s+ Dover during the next session of the Legisla-
ture and that an attempt will be made TO hold up
corporations.
II rectes instances of this kind at previous ses-
sions of the General Assembly and many more
examples could be mentioned. Some unscrupu-
lous member of the Legislature sees an oppor-
tunitv 10 present bill, hitting at some corpora
tion or interest He does not really believe in the
bill himself and doesn't care a rap whether II is
enacted into law or not. All he wants, according
70 the theory of Strike bill, is to frghten the
corporations or interests in the hope mat they
will put up considerable sum of money TO defeat
the bill and the unsorupulous legislator will get
some of the sway or yellow dog fund as 1t is
called in New York.
In some states the strikers have reaped rich
harvests BY their despicahle methods, but we do
not believe that the practice has been carried on
to any considerable extent in Delaware. II could
not be followed at all in any place if the corpora
tons resolutely refused TO submit TO the species
Of hlackmaihng.I
One Of the l}ad things about it is that il any
worthy legislation is suggested for the correc-
ton Of abuses. those affected can easily raise the
cry Of strike" bill Here in Delaware no doubt
some bills will be proposed for the correction
of abuses and in line with progressive legislation
elsewhere and it is highly probable that those who
do not wish 70 sec such measures enacted into
law will howl about strike" bills and all that.
taking a cunning advantage of the sentiment
against the blackmailcrs.
1t may be hard to draw the line but there should
be no real difficulty in sitting the wheat from the
chaH. AT any rate cries about strike bills will
not prevent the suggestion OF legislation which
will be for the benefit Of the people andis itself

viii Suffer All the More.
You cannot treat your stomach as
some men treat a ballxy horse; force.
drive or even starve it into doing
work at which it rebels. The stomach
is a patient and faithful servant and
Will stand much abuse and ill-treat-
ment before It "balks," but when II

and not attempt to make it work.
Some people have the mistaken idea
that they can make their stomachs

might cure the stomach that way.
but it would take so long that they
would have no use for a stomach
when they got through. The sensible
way out of the difficulty is to let the
stomach rest if 1t wants to and em-
ploy a substitute to do its work.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do
the work of your stomach for you
and digest your food just as your
stomach used to when it was well.
You can prove this by putting your
food in a glass jar with one Of the
tablets and sufficient water and you
will see the food digested in Just the
same time as the digestive fluids of
the stomach would do it. That will
satisfy your mind Now. to satisfy
both your mind and body take one OF
'Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after eat
ing-eat all and what you want-and
you Will feel in your mind that your
food is being digested because you
will feel no disturbance or weight in
your stomach; i'm fact, you will for
get all about having a stomach, just
as you did when you were a healthy
boy or girl.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act in a
natural way because they contain only
the natural elements of the gastric
juices and other digestive fluids OF
the stomach. It makes no difference
what condition the stomach Is in,
they go right ahead OF their own ac-
cord and do their work They know
their business and surrounding con-
ditions do not influence them in the
least. They thus relieve the weak
stomach of all its burdens and give it its
much-needed rest and permit it to
become stronger and healthy.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at so cents a
box. They are so we'll known and
their popularity is so great that a
druggist would as soon think OF being
out of alcohol or guinine as of them.
In fact. physicians are prescribing
them all over the land, and if your
own doctor is real honest with you,
he viii tell you frankly that there is
nothing on earth so good for dys-
pepsia as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab

Editorial Opinion
Progressive Republicans.


Sussex Republican
There is plenty Of food for thought
for Republicans, IN the result In the
recent election. All this talk about a
great Democratic victory is all non
sense. II was the independent, pro-
gressive Republicans who did it. The
same spirit was present everywhere
and won except when defeated by
combination Of the stand-pat OF Re
publican gang and the Democrats in
the respective states. In Pennsylvania
the progressive spirit was only de-
feated by a combination of the Demo-
cratic and Republican gang.
The progressive Republicans in New
York were defeated by the Republican
machine combined with the Demo-
Gratis.
Woodrow Wilson won in New Jersey
on his advocacy Of progressiveness,
Foss won I'm Massachusetts on the
same kind of a platform.
INDIANA was lost to the progressive
Republicans just as Pennsylvania ana
New York were. by combination or
the Republican gangsters, represent
ing special interests, and the Demo-
Gratis. The same division in the Repub-
lican party lost Ohio. On the other
hand it is remarkable that wherever
progressive Republicanism was in full
control. those States went Republican.
What does Il mean?
II means that the people, believe
that the special interests in this coun-
try are too closely allied with the Re
publican party and wherever that
combination was apparent. they arose
in their might and smote what they
believed to be most inimical to their
interests.
This progressive spirit is abroad in
the land: It will not down. and all
combinations Of shrewd politicians
and dishonest special interests will not
prevail against IT,
The Republican party everywhere
must get in tune with this new senti-
ment If 1t is to continue to rule and
lead this people wisely and well.

Little Girl Thief
Puzzle To Officers

Exc, Nevada. Dec, 27.-The peace
officers Of this place have little girl in
their custody. who is q confessed thief,
yet they do not know what to do with
her, as there is no reform school in Ne.
vads, and she is too young to be sent to
prison. The child's name is not given
out, but she is said to be kleptomaniac,
aud there does not seem any way to re.
form her.
She was first arrested early in No
vember on a charge Of stealing checks
from postoffice box rented by the Hen
derson Banking Company. The child
had watched John Henderson open the
Post Office box. and finally learned how
to work the combination and open i
herself. 1t is said that in al. she stol,
about $4,000 worth of checks and de

SLOT MACHINE GAMBLING
IS NOT ILLEGAL
Opinion Rendered by Attorney
General May Re-Establish
the Easy Mark Games

Carson Appeal: On Saturday At
torney General Stoddard rendered an
opinion on slot machines in this State.
In reply to letter from District At
torney Tilden OF Esmeralda County Mr..
Stoddard holds that slot machines may
may be operated without violating the
Anti-Gambling law, so long as Checks
given are redeemable in merchandise,
cigars, etc., aud not money.
Some months ago the Attorney Gen.
eral rendered an opinion to the effect
that it was unlawful to operate such a
gambling device under any condition.
The fact that the machines in Esmeralda
County have not shut down and the
District Attorney Of the county has
stuck to his contention and cited
authorities for the same was brought
TO the attention of Mr.. Stoddard.
This is believed to be the first attempt
TO reopen public gambling in this State.
That the gambling bill will be up for
amendments and consideration at the
incoming Legislature there is no doubt
Some amendments will bs added and
it is safe to predict that the action
taken by the Attorney General in this
matter will come in for its share OF
legislative action.
In this section of Nevada there has
been no attempt to open slot machines.
With the above decision from the At
torney General it is likely that the
machines will be moved from storage
and again placed in commission, with
slugs redeemable in merchandise act
ing in place Of money.

Bishop Whitaker RetirGS

The following from the Philadelphia
Record Of recent date will be read with
interest by old time Nevadans who
were well acquainted with Bishop
Whitaker during his long residence in
this State
"There will be very general regret in
the community that the venerable
Bishop Whitaker of the Protestant Epis-
copal diocese, has been obliged to resign
most of his functions. He is so years
of age, and for some time past his
health has been precarious. 1t is 20
years since he became coadjutor to
Bishop Stevens, whom he succeeded
two years later. He was trained in a
rather hard but an extremely good
school for the functions which he has
exercised with so much ability and dis
cretion in Pennsylvania. He had two
pastorates in Nevada, and was for l6
years missionary bishop there. 1t was
not easy work in Nevada 40 years ago
and more, but the men who have done
notable work in middle and later life
have done very hard work in their early
years"
