THE INEVITABLE CENSORSHIP.

1t seems 10 us inevitable that a
thorough censorship OF everything
will presently arrive; equally incvita-
BILE that II will be thoroughly cor
ruptible and unintelligent. Let us make
up our minds 10 that and confess that
one Of the reasons why we cannot es-
cape is that the attack upon the cen
sorship has been not exceptionally in
telligent itself.
The habit OF jibbering at abstract
ideas has played the deuce with. us
we haven't, most of us, talked about
the idea of the censorship, but .oi
the abuses Of the Institution. Now we
shall pay. no one can pretend thai
the pure idea would have got us any
where-this is the Twentieth Century
not the Dark Ages. But the pure idei
would have given US something to g'

SENATORIAL CANDIDATES.

The Dover Delawarean. In its cur
rent issue, gives consideration to the
interesting and very important sub
ject OF the nominate OF Democratic
candidates for United States Senator
In this years State campaign. Two
may be nominated. one for the unex-
pircd term OF Senator wolcott, from
election day until March 4 next, and one
for the fun senatorial term beginning
March 4. OF course, one person could
be given both nominations--as VIII
doubtless be done by the Republicans
by naming Senator Coleman du Pont.
successor by appointment TO Senator
wolcott-but Il ie expected the Demo-
cratic State Convention VIII make
two separate selections for the two
places. as II should do.
The Delawarean sees In the sugges-
ton OF two nominations some sort Of
scheme for the giorincation OF some
mysterious. unment.oned person. whose
selection would be made with the pur-
pose Of aidlng Senator du Pont 20 sue
coed himself. and therefore II urges
