dependents, who have a regular IN
dependent organization
AS we understand the issue, the
new Independent Republican party
desire the election of Charles n
Hughes to the Presidency OF the
United States, and of Charles W.
Fairbanks to the Vice-Presidency'
They wish the defeat Of the Republi-
can nominee to the U. S. Senate the
defeat of the Republican nominee 70
Congress and the defeat Of all the
Republican State nominees to once
and in many districts, they wish the
defeat of the Republican district NOM
inees.
In other words, they want a Repuo-
Iican President. but Democratic
Governor and Legislature. Talk about
hyphenates-thi new party Is ke-
publican nationally and Democratic
in State affairs-a sort OF Democratic
Republican-Soc Wet-Dry Party.
Surely. they ought to gain a few votes
from all this crowd. Their hooks are
baited to catch the particular fish they
are after. They have caught gold
fish. but we imagine the rest Of their
catch will be suckers.

II reports from Dover are true, the
Alfred l. DUPONT forces have given up
all hopes of winning at the Repub-
lican primaries because il is claimed
that the j. f. Alice crowd met at their
headquarters in Dover on Friday last,
and formed an indepent county COM
mittee. Mr. J. Frank is reappointed
to have appointed two committeeman
from each election district in Kent
county, with the exception of the
First and Second Representative Dis
tricts. This committee met and or
gained and made arrangements to
fight at the Republican primaries.
II this report Is true and we are
positive that it is, then the Alice
crowd have cut themselves off COM
pletely from the Republican party
They have formed a new or indie
pendent party. and they are no long
er Republicans, and the men who are
working with them are no longer Re-
publicans. If. as they claim, that
they, the Alfred I. DUPONT gang, in
tend to fight for delegates at the Re
publican primaries. why have they or

tory after victory is an indisputable
proof that the strength of the party
is back Of that organization. And the
victories that will come to il at the
party primaries and at the November
election will conclusively prove the
fact that the magnificent strength Of
the Republican party organization
has not deteriorated one iota. but
rather that there have been added to

Did John Barnard lie. and lie de-
liberately. when he reported Repub-
lican County Chairman James A.
HirOns as having said that he would
rather see Kent county go Democra-
tic by 1900 than to let certain Repub-
licans gain control, etc? We believe
he did, James A. Hirons has always
been a staunch, Woodworking Repub-
lican. Four years ago. when J. Frank
Alice, John Barnard's leader, was
running all over Dover searching for
men whom he could influence to
vote the Democratic ticket for the
two-fold purpose of defeating the Re
publican party and OF sending Will
lard Salisbury to the United States
Senate, James A. Hirons was working
indefatigably in the interest OF the
Republican party. At this time. when
John Barnard is affiliated with the

wreckers, whose one purpose is tC

OUR SHIPS AND SOME OTHERS.

OUR SHIPS AND SOME OTHERS.
From the North American Review.
Again we boast. The battleship
Pennsylvania has been put into com
mission. II is the most powerful
fighting machine in our navy. That.
however, is not enough to say OF it.
We are assured. with ingenious and
persistent iteration, that it is the
most powerful in the world. True,
there are others Of far greater horse
power; but the Pennsylvania is the
most powerful. There are others which
carry heavier guns; but the Pennsyl-
vania is the most powerful There are
several which surpass the Pennsyl-
vania in all three of these respects
but the Pennsylvania Is the most
powerful. We hope that it is true.
The Pennsylvania is undoubtedly a
magnificent ship. We wish there were
two dozen like it in the navy. But to
the mere landlubber there does seem
reason TO ask for further proof tkan

abeth class. It is admitted that the
Pennsylvania guns are of only four
teen inches caliber, against the Queen
Elizabeths fifteen. but it is insisted
that the former are of as great range
and as effective as the latter. That
may be, but il so It is very surprising
and puzzling to the layman. If a four
teen-inch gun is as effective as a If
teen, then is a thirteen as good as a
fourteen, and a twelve as good as
thirteen, and so on down the scale?
If so, we shall presently find our
selves declaring, according 20 one Of
Euclid's axioms. that a two-inch gun
is as effective as one of fifteen inches
similar line of argument applies TO
the matter of speed. The 81 ,500-horse
power of the Pennsylvania drives its
81 400 tons at the rate of q knots, while
the SIS .OOO-horse power of the Queen
Elizabeth drives its p 800 tons at the
rate of p knots. We are told, it is true
that speed is not the prime considera
ton. and, other things being equal, it is
decisive consideration. Superiority Of
even single knot would mark one YES
sci as superior 10 another if they were
equal in all cher respects. Superiority
of four knots Is far too wide a margin
to be overlooked
It is boosted that the Pennsylvania
has oilburning engines which increase
her radius of action 40 per cent. for the
same weight of fuel over coal burning
vessels. That may be uqite true. But
we must remember that the Queen
Elizabeth and all the six vessels of its
, type also have oil-burning engines, so
that we can claim nothing better than
equality with them in that respect. 1t
is said, too, that the Pennsylvania is
the most heavily protested ship in the
world, with an armOr belt Is l-2 inches
thick. But the Queen Elizabeth and
more than dozen other British ship.
also have l3 l-2 inch armor, so that in
in that particular also. our best claim is
nothing more than equality. The Penn
sylvania is not "the most heavily pro
tected" but merely one of the mos
heavily.
So in the last analysis this as thu

an unwelcome visitor is said to be at

abundance at the island. Several people

is being called by all of these names. 1t
has shown no disposition to attack any,
body and probably might be as glad to
get back to the mainland if it could as
the inhabitants would be glad to have it
go. 1t is believed that the big cat came
across on the ice from the Yarmouth
Foreside shores last spring and postpon-
ed its return until too late.
Islanders report that they have heard
the hounds chasing the cat through the
woods and several people have seen It.
