DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN, VIEWS
ON UNITED STATES SENATORSHIP

mously on a choice for United States
Senator on Monday. Willard Sauls-
bury received the votes Of twenty-five
Of the twenty-nine Democratic mem
hers. the others leaving the caucus.
On Tuesday. when the members OF
the Senate and House voted separate
~, Salisbury received twenty-four
votes lone of his supporters being
absent) four insurgents dividing
thoir votes between Handy and
Hughes. How long the deadlock may
continue, is, of course, uncertain. But
it Is said that the four who so far have
refused 70 vote for Salisbury are Ken
ney men. If such be the case. it is
not likely the four will hold out very
long Kenney is a politician of the
trading kind. His insistance on hold
ing out for a Kent county man for
Senator. means holding out until Ken
ney can make a deal for himself II
he can not be elected, he is not likely
to favor the election of any other Kent
county man at this time because the
selection of Salisbury this time, will
throw the other Senatorship four
years hence, in case of Democratic
success, down the State, and Kenny,
with other down the State Democrats
would have another chance, whereas
the selection of a United States SEN
ator from Kent or Sussex this time
ends the hopes of all other down
state Senatorial aspirants Hence
| If It cannot be Kenney
this time. Kenney wants Sau!s-
bury, but he will also want
Saulsbury's promise Of support four
years hence, for the four voters he
now controls. At any rate, if he can
hold his four voters he can get a good
deal Of some kind, and, in our opin-
ion, when that deal is made, Salisbury
will be elected Senator. OF course the
personal equation enters into the con-
federation of this matter Of human
concern. Kenney may not be able "a
hold his four votes in line. or he may
not be able to deliver them, but, in
any event, Salisbury is likely to gel
d, the two more votes necessary TO elect
him.

STAFFORD, Del. Jan. 27-The new
steel and concrete drawbridge over
the Nanticoke river at Sharptown, Nd,
was officially dedicated TO service on
Saturday. The delay in the construc-
ton of the bridge was due to the sink
ing of an abutment on the Dorchester

on a contract by the Ronake Bridge
Company, and cost over 100000 II Is

that he had killed enough dogs and
ordered him TO stop. Wheatley, on the

The Roll of Honor.

From the Sunday Star. Democrat
Henry Williams, Senator.
William F. cummins, Representative.
Robert ]. Schneider, Representative.
John NJ Houston, Representative.
These are the four men whose
names constitute the honor roll in the
pending session of the Delaware Leg
islature. By their votes they have
said they honor the worthy traditions
Of their State more than the unwor-
thy ambition Of man whose selfish
greed for Office leads him to trample
upon the county rights Of Kent, as es-
tablished by party rule of rotation
and to loftily ignore pertinent ques-
tions as to his fitness for the high po-
sition to which he aspires upon nc
more tenable ground than that he
.covets the honor that should of right
be bestowed up on some more deserv.
ing man. There is no need of going
into a repetition of the reason for op-

SHALL REPUBLICANS DIRECT
DEMOCRATIC PARTY AFFAIRS

From the Dover Delawarean (Dem).
The most important question for the
Democrats of this State to settle in
the election of a United States Sena-
tor is whether the affairs of the DEM
ocratic party of this State can be-
managed by Republicans either di-
rectly or by employing a few crooked
Democrats TO cause bolts and trouble
among Democrats.
What is the difference in principle
between buying q Democrat TO vote
the Republican ticket at the general
election and employing a Democrat to
persuade or influence Democrats in
the legislature to vote against any pc
litical measure or man decided on in
a Democratic caucus? The Demo-
cratic members of the legislature will
do we'll TO know the character of their
advisers.
One Of the loudest advocates OF
boiling the Senatorial caucus. We un-
derstand, has served a seven years
term in Sing Sing prison. We are
rather inclined TO give his name and
may do so.
One of the loudest takers against
Mr. Salisbury last Monday i'm Dover
before the caucus was a Republican
named McMullin, who was used TO
create talk to prevent Democrats run
ming their own party affairs.
Another worker i'm this malOdOrOus
bunch was an eX-deputy postmaster
Of Wilmington whose efforts were d.
rected TO hiring young men at IS per
day to come to Dover and abuse Sauls-
bury,
We think Democrats should know
these things.

THE DEADLOCK.

From the Middletown Transcript
(Rep)
The Delaware legislature Is In a
deadlock as TO the choice for United
States Senator. MIR. Salisbury has a
large majority OF the Democratic
votes, but is two short of the neces-
sary number, and Judging from what
the four hold out members are saying
the deadlock is likely to continue until
the Salisbury men agree 20 support a
Kent county man for Senator.
The members who refused TO take
part I'm the caucus Monday night, UNI
doubtedly represent the sentiment OF
the Kent county Democrats. a well
as large number from both New Cas-
tbs and Sussex counties.
AS the Transcript stated last week
the best way to select Senators is by
direct vote, and when this method is
put into practice, all of this trallick-
ing will be eliminated from the politi-
cal arena Let it be soon

When Buttons Were Bio,

Bachaumont writes in his Secret
Memoirs" Nov. 10, 1856: 1.-The mania
for buttons is today extremely ridicu-
lous. They are not only Of enormous
size, some of them as big as six pound
crowns. but miniatures and pictures
are made upon them, and this orna-
mentation is extremely costly. Some Of
them represent the medals of the
twelve Caesars, others antique statues
and still others the Metamorphoses Of
Ovid

says that when he came to Paris he
worked for living by making copies
Of Vanloos and Bouchers on the lids Of
snuffboxes and that for these medal
lions he was paid from 6 to 8 francs
each. GAS it was still the fashion," he
said. ''to wear buttons as big as five

Heart Burials.

The burial Of the heart separate from
the body and in another place is an old
custom, common in Europe when the
heart was supposed to be the center of
the affections and the will. Robert
Bruce wished his heart to be buried in
Jerusalem and intrusted it to his ia
nous friend. "the black Douglas" who
was killed before he could fulfill the
mission. The hearts Of the Hapsburg
rulers Of Austria are kept in silver cas-
kets in the chapel Of the Loretto in
Venice, and the hearts of the rulers of
Bavaria are similarly preserved apart
from the bodies. Luitpold, the late
prince regent, ordered, however, that
his heart be placed not with the hearts
Of the other Bavarian rulers, but in its
natural place with his own body, be-
side the body of his wife.-Youth's
Companion.
