Considerable criticism has resulted
in the actions OF the Street and Sewer
Department in not giving out the con-
tracts for paving certain streets with
iire-brick us advertised. At first sight
it looks as II these criticisms were de-
served, as the people who pay the
taxes watch the disposition of their
money with jealous eyes, and want
the most work possible in exchange
for it. Upon second thought, after
taking into consideration all the diff
culties surrounding the case, public
opinion will be more charitable to-
wards the directors, and will, we
think, be willing to admit that there
are times when it is not expedient or
proper to give large contract to the
lowest bidders, II good work and a
speedy fulfllment OF the contract is
expected. 1t is just possible that to
secure these desirable results is lead
ing reason why the contract has not
been given to the lowest bidder.
Let it not be forgotten that the
Street and Sewer Department have
got an apple out OF that bag In the con,
struction OF the new intercepting sew
CT along the Brandywlno. Nearly q
year has elapsed since that sewer was
to have been completed, and it is moth
ing like finished yet. This bid for the
stupendous job was too low, and what
a howl OF disappointment would have
been raised, had the contract beer
given to a higher bidder. The Street
and Sewer Department want no more
such delays in large jobs, and they do
not want to be put to the trouble ant
expense of getting others to finish con
tracts and forcing suret.e5 10 get the
work done.
As we understand the matter the
Street and Sewer Directors while moi
giving the contract for paving mum
Der OF streets out to the lowest lumI
bidder, are practically giving the worl
out to the lowest bidders in detail
For instance, the grading of the streets
is to be given out to the lowest bes
bidders, so with the contract for furn,
ishing brick, furnishing sand, prepar
ing the streets for paving, and laying
the bricks by the yard or by the thou
sand. The directors OF the department
do not intend as we are informed Il
do any part Of the work themselves b,
lie day, but it will all be given out t
contractors In the manner we hay
stated.
This will undoubtedly secure bette
Fork and will at the same time dis
.iibdte the labor more amongst tn,
people. and If one contractor fails {,
tarform his part of the work his plac,
EiIl not be SO hard to fill as il he fail
oil for the whole. The Street and Sew
o. Department can have no other OF
set in view than to perform goo
work for the city along the most ecc
tomical lines, and the course they ar
rursuing may reasonably be accepte
Is an earnest that they are acting i
this matter OF paving streets for tn
Nst interests of the city.

Jute Mills Frotectiop

Meeting Mr.. l.. B. Morrow, secretary
and treasurer Of the Wilmington Mills
Manufacturing Gompany,in the street,
NE asked him if the business of the
firm was protected by the Mckinley
tariff law. His reply vas decided
affirmative. Not quite understanding
the nature OF iute, and supposing it to
he something like hemp or fax, we
said we supposed that the same prin-
ciple that made binding Irvine cheap
to the farmers made jute cheap to the
manufacturers, and encouraged the
raising of flax and hemp in this coun-
Try, Mr.. Morrow said Oh! no, that
had nothing to do with the jute raising
industry. the latter. while answering
some Of the purposes of flax and hemp,
was an entirely different article, not
raised in this country, neither could it
be, as 1t was not indigenous to the soil
and climate. g."
We were then informed that 1t was
an Indian production, imported from
india, without duty. This, however
was one OF the strongest arguments
In favor OF the Mckinley law. 1t put
1ute not grown in this country on the
free list, because it interfered with nc
American production. The Mckinley
tariff law protects the Wilmington
Jute Mills Manufacturing Company
by giving them the free raw materia
that cannot be produced in this
country. But If iute could be grown
In this country as in India, thon tn,
policy of the Mckinley bill would b,
so lay a tariff upon it, shut out thu
cheap labor OF India, and encourag
American agriculturists In raising 1t
Thus the Mckinley law works in tw,
directions, both ending in protecting
American industries. 1t has a free
trade direction, which applies to all ar
ticles not manufactured in this couG
try neither can be, and admits then
free OF duty.
Its taxing principle, erronousl
called tax upon consumers, puts
duty on everything manufactured an
raised abroad that can lie manufaC
tured and raised in America. 1t ha
free trade side which brings i
reciprocity that protects some Amer
can Industries as much as a straigh

WIrH the death of Ex-United States
Marshal John NJ. Dunn, Wilmington
has lost one OF her brayest OF brave
Veterans of the late war. Mr.. Dunn
distinguished himself for daring and
bravery in every battle in which he
was engaged. His bravery at Gettys-
burg in the face of Prickets deadly
charge will ever stand forth conspic-
uous amongst the brave acts OF the
American soldier. He was q model
soldier and knew nothing but to obey
orders even il those orders led him into
the jaws of DEATH He seemed some
how to bear n charmed life, at times
lighting alone while tho leaden hail
from rebel guns had mown down all
around him. Though born on Irish
soil, Mr.. Dunn was on intensely pa
trlotic American but at tho same time
he loved Ireland and her cause be-
cause Irelands cause was the cause of
liberty.
Contrary to the general disposition
of large majority Of his native coun-
trymen, Mr.. Dunn feeling that the
cause OF liberty was more closely al
lied with tue Republican party in the
late war, he threw in his political for
tunes with that party and reaped some
of its political rewards. Had his health
not been impaired and his life been
spared, he would no doubt have been
the recipient OF other political honors
As a man he was genial, cheerful, gen.
erous and sympathetic. But few meI
will he more missed from the various
walks of life than John M. Dunn. lie
will be missed from the camp fires o.
the Grand Army OF the Republic, wher,
he was always genial and accepted
comrade until sickness prevented hi

knew him and with whom he associat
