Fraud in school House BuIlding.
The loss has been occasioned by the
building of school houses with, it is al

The health of the pupils and the stability
of the buildings have both been sacrificed,
it is claimed, tn 1t inferior materials might
be used, tn the profit of the contractors
and the loss of the city. The worst of it
is that an investigation shows the charges
to be true.

WHY THEY COMPLAIN.

We publish an extract from the New
York Herald contsnding that the
Peoples party, or any other set Of
citizens who think themselves oppressed
by the existing laws, have right to
object and to form new party for relief
That is precisely what the farmers and
laborers have combined to do.
The slightest inquiry into the condi-
tion Of the farmer, or Of the laborer,
shows that the legislation of the last
twenty years has not been in their
favor. All national legislation has been
directed diametrieallY against their
interests and they have been paying the
robber barons who were entrenched
behind the high tariffs for making the
country prosperous, as they alleged.
The farmers, and the labolers too
have been fools. They have allowed
demagogues and interested bene6eiaries
OF this suicidal class legislation to
persuade them that II was for their
benefit too. No reasoning, no argument,
seemed acute enough to pierce their
thick skulls to convince them that taxa
tion could not make the country richer
that special taxes levied to increase
the value Of another mans property
made them not richer but poorer; that
all classes paying tribute to one class did
not make all classes richer, but only the
one class at the expense Of all the other
classes. The farmers and the laboreIs
have come to perceive those truths after
the one class has been replaced by Huns
and Poles and the other has mortgaged
their farms In furtherance Of this vicious
system.
The Peoples party may not do very
many wile things, but they certainly
have the right Of complaint.
We have not much sympathy fer either
the farmers or this laborers who have
been assisting the Republican party to
bring upon them the hard conditions OF
which they icomplain now. The Demo
cratic party has been attempting to amel
iorate those conditions by reducing,tsxa-
tion for twenty years. But, like the same
class Of people several thousand years
age. II they would not believe Moses and
all the prophets, neither wsuld they
believe slough one rose from the dead L
tell them that tin costing $4,000 pei
pound was not benefit to the country.

ONE SWALLOW

II isa disappointment of course to the
Democrats that the Republicans gained
possession Of the city administration,
but It will be matter of humiliation
that they have succeeded by unfair and
illegal means and that they have put the
worst men and the WORST element Of their
party at the top to DO it.
Mr.. Higgins is the most unpopular
and the best hated man In the Rspubli-
can party in Delaware. Bach, Mahaffy.
saville, Sterling, ColquAoun, Mitchell,
compose a bunch Of close seconds.
Impartial Republicans know, as well as
we know, that no good can come to the
city from those leaders. II Senator Hig-
gins were to offer for any Office, in the
gift Of the people, be would be defeated
by Massey, or some other man In whom
the people have confidence, so badly that
people outside would not know he bad
been in the race. II would be the same
with any one or all of those men who
nave gathered about him.
Those men gained this election; IL is
their victory; the more or less respect
able men to be installed into Office are
their candidates and will do their bid
ding Democrats can afford to take a
cheerful view OF the situation because
the psOple-sven the Republicans will
JOHN rspudisting these sfficers at the
next honest election as they repudl ated
Harrington and swiggett at the dishon-
est nomination.
This is a Democratic city, Democratic
county and Delaware Is Democratic
state at an honest election.
Those facts have been established too
long to be doubted now. The contests
between Republicanism and Democracy
have proved the supremacy of the people
too frequently to be the subject of doubt
now. Pennsylvania Is not q Democratic
state Ebecause she elected Pattison.
neither Is Wilmington Republican city
because a Republican mayor came in by
Pennsylvania methods and illegal negro
votes.
This one swallow Of the Republicans is
merely fantastic and frantic gulp that
viii sicken them and disgust those who
SEQ them make the effort to prevent
political nausea. 1t is not healthy con-
dition and cannot last.

Are those your statesmenf Are you

that the fair and respectable men Of the
Republican party will stand aside while
that crowd of political skulkers and
hireling scaIlawags come in and take
possession of its machinery, it Is not
strange. 1t is strange that decent Re-
publicans do not appear stunned.
II respectable Republicans; bankers,
manufacturers. merchants, clerks, book
keepers, honest and trustworthy men,
can consent to accept the spoils which
shall have been gathered by the bribery
and beer nomination. and afterwards GER
tilted as the free will OF the people by
such Incidents as happened at the polls
here on November Q, 1t is to our Icredit
to be dazed, stunned, and to appear be-
fogged.
The News cannot make any defence Of
the campaign or of the election.
The News hates Senator Higgins, hates
Higginsism, distrusts all of the crew he
has gathered about him for good
reasons, but the News with many goe d
and true men Of the Republican party
accepts the results Of those foul means
used to promote Higginsism.
II we are stunned II is at the pusilla-
nimity of decent citizens who condone and
approve the political practices by which
hateful Higginsism is fastening itself
upon them, their party and upon Della
ware.
The News in Its lucid moments OBJ
jects to thsss things; in its partisan
bliRsness now 1t accepts their results.
