Democratic and Republican
Views on u. S. Senatorship

ter In view of this interest, it may
be well to briefly relate the circum-
stances as they were apparent at the
time.
Judge Leonard t. Wales of the
United States District Court died on
February Sth, 1897, and on February
20th President Cleveland sent to the
Senate the name of James l.. WolcotL
to fill the vacancy. The appointment
was referred to the Senate committee
on the judiciary.
Immediately there was Republican
opposition to the confirmation of the
appointment, based on partisan
grounds. President Mckinley had
been elected and would assume Office
on March 4th Republican partissns
desired to stave off confirmation in
order that President Mckinley Wight
FIJI the vacancy by the appointment
lof a Republican lawyer.
At that time grave concern was felt
in Delaware over the judicial stu
alton. The Republican party was di-
vided into the Addicks and Regular
factions, and Addicks Republicans,
while they joined with Regulars in
opposing confirmation of Mr.. VOL
colt claimed that, If successful, the
appointment by President Mckinley
should go to them, as their faction
comprised a majority of the Repub-
lican votes of Delaware. The prob
ability of an Addicks Republican for
United States judge appalled, both
Democrats and Republicans, and as
means of avoiding this undesirable
contingency, Every Evening urged
the withdrawal OF Mr.. Wolcotts name
and the substitution of the name Of
Judge George Gray, then United
States Senator, as senatorial courtesy
would have secured his immediate
confirmation, and thus averted the
possibility of the office becoming an
Addicks Republican possession. But
Senator Gray could not see his way
clear to acceptance, and on March LIST
formal charges against the cOnhrma-
tion of Mr. Wolcott were referred TO
subcommittee of the judiciary COM
mittee for examination, thus prevent
ing all possibility of confirmation be-
for the advent of President McKin-
ley
These charges, it is said, killed the
! favorable aspect of Mr. WOlcOtts
] confirmation They halted action and
gave opportunity for investigation.
Investigation meant delay and delay
meant a Republican judge. and il is
now said that these charges were pre-
ferred by a Democrat, who thereby
struck a deadly blow at the Demo
cratic party and gave great aid and
announcement TO its partisan enc
mics Fortunately for the people of
Delaware. President Mckinley re-
fused TO make an Addicks appoint
ment. and Judge Edward G. Brad
ford was named But the Office was
lost to the Democrats, and now we
are informed, by good authority, that
this deplorable result was due not
to Republican partisan opposition, as
had been supposed, but to the hosti-
lity of "one leading Delaware Demo
craft Is this true? And if true, who
was the recreant one?

MAIL EVERYTHING EARLY.
Post Ofiice Department Can BE Aided
in Handling Christmas Packages.

To avoid delay in the receipt Of
Christmas packages the public should
bear i'm mind that the season is ap-
preaching when the mails will be
crowded. and should remember to
mail their packages as early as con-
yenient. The local post Office is sure
TO be crowded this year, for at the
last moment great pile of mail Is
sure TO be pushed in. On account OF
the great quantity going through
many people will not get their Christ
mas packages, particularly If there Is
far to go. until after Christmas.
lt is particularly requested that
those who are sending Christmas
cards mail them early. These are not
given much attention in the rush and
are likely to be laid TO one side ii the
package mail is so heavy that they
cannot be handled, for the packages
have the right Of way at Christmas
time. In mailing cards covered with
tinsel the public is advised to place
them i'm envelopes as they cannot be
sent through the mails uncovered
and will merely land in the Dead Let
ter Office If not covered, where they
will be destroyed.
BY bearing these things in mind the
public can help out the situation in
the post Office department during the
holidays, and also help everyone to
receive their mail on time.

SOON MAY
HAVE NURSERY CARS

CHICAGO, Dec Especial cars
with nurseries for babies were pro-
posed as an addition to the equip
ment of overland and limited rail-
road trains at a meeting of passenger
agents Of a Western railroad system
here.
It was suggested that the smoker,
the compartment and observation
cars are now regular part Of the
makeup of trains and that there
should be special places for babies
and their mothers or nurses.
It was agreed that it would be bet
ter for the babies and better for the
passengers on the train.

In all parts Of Delaware there is manifest desire
among taxpayers that properties shall be assessed
equitably; that shall be collected more closely:
that public funds shall be disbursed wisely and
economically and that greater regard for permanency
Shall feature public improvements that are made The
men and women who pour their money into the public
treasury are heartily tired Of having fritered away
in makeshift projects They realize last that mil
lions OF dollars have been wasted ON make
shit work on roads and other public projects that
there is little to show today for those annual
expenditures The feeling now is that whatever is
done for the people should be substantial and lasting
and that the work Of collecting spending the taxes
should be conducted in sound business principles
without regard for personal political favor That
feeling is Particularly strong with respec, to the ex-
penditure OF road taxes It is recognized in all the
legislative districts that there has been greater waste
Of such funds than any others and that the time has
come TO call halt and demand that road work be
put upon permanent basis.

PARIS, Aug. ia clever French
writer has discovered the latest style
in sculpture and architecture. which We
arc to know hereafter as the "explo.
sion style Just as people speak or
the Renaissance style or the Gothic
style, so future generations will dwell
with wonder on the "e1plosion style.
Architects aud sculptors have within
the last ten years broken loose from all
old trammels They were going to have
something new. too. like the painters,
who become impressionists, ponimpres-
sionists, independents, cubists and final
ly futurists,
The explosionists arc represented IN
MANY Of the recent monuments in Parls.
The front Of houses and facades or pub
lie buildings present a maze Of con-
tortionate liuoe, which must be the re-
suit of an explosive" imagination, II
not Of some actual terrestrial upheayaL
The statues of poets, musicians. heroes
and celebrated men generally erecteo
within the last decade all boar signs or
the Hexplosion style. Poets are rep,
rcsented with their books scattered
about on rocks or precipices and they
seem TO be looking In wonder at the
havoc round about them. Musicians
are represented with broken lnstru'
meuts. public men raise their hands to
their foreheads. evidently stunned by
the report of a sudden cataclysm. :;
If we examine any recent statue IN
Paris we shall find that the first idea
suggested is ono of some terrible cat
astrophe, Our heroes are bent in
twain; they stoop OF. look round In a
! stotn of agony as if they saw moth,

them caused by bomb. Of some an
apcbist. The sculptor has evidently
caught the spirit of the time and per
hans unconssiou5ly ho mas become an
Irxplosionist." The new style is now
adequately described, A namc has been
found for II which will be carefully re-
corded in tho dictionaries or the iu'

HISTORIC OLD HOUSE
IN PARIS TORN DOWN
Place That Teemed With
"reminiscences of Revolu-
ton Is No More.
Special Cable 10 The Trtbuna.

Special Cable TO The Tribune.
PARIS, Aug. 17.-An old house form
ing part of block of buildings at the
corner of the Boulevard Saint Germain
and the ancient Rue des CordeGers, Of
which little has been said in recent
years, but which teemed with revolu-
tionary "reminiscences. has been pulled
down. It was the house in which Marat
and Datou had flats in the most stir
ring days of the Terror, and 1t was
there that Marat was stabbed to death
by Charlotte Corday as he was In his
bnth. The ground floor was used as a
printing office and it was there that
Marat s paper, the Ami du People, WAS
printed.
The house was old, cvon In Marat's
day. it bore the number 81 of the
Boulevard Saint Germain, and was the
last home of the Rue des Cordeliers at
tho time when the Notifications of
Philippe ANguste still existed. It ad-
Joined tho fortificatious and it's walls
faced the old gate Of the Cordeliers,
which had heen opened up IN 1893. tt
originally belonged to the Able Rance,
who bequeathed it to the Hotel Dieu
before he retired to the monastery of
La Trappe.
When the Boulevard Saint German
was eALcuuCu DuS udule VI luc UlQ EdL6
was changed and 1t was called for a
while the Porte Saint Germain. The
Friars Minor, who afterwards became
known as the Cordeliers, had owned the
ground and their convent. in fact, still
existed near by in revolutionary times,
1t was after the friars were driven out
that Legendre founded the club Of he
Cordeliers IN their empty convent, I'd
he and his friends lodged in the neigh
borhood.
It was thus that Marat came to take
flat in the house at price which
seems ridiculously small today, but
which at that time was quite a sum,
namely. 450 francs q year: he rented
il in the name Of his mistress, Mile.
Evrard and it was very convenient, ow-
ing to the printing offices below, where
he could have his paper printed. Dan
ton occupied rooms in the Rez de
Chaussc adjoining tho printing offices.
