So far, the Gaynor electric police
system, as introduced In Wilmington,
Is practical failure. IL never did
work right from the start and got
worse all the time. In fact IL was so
utterly unreliable that it could not DO
relied upon. Had II not been for the
telephone service connected with Ii IL
would have been utterly worthless,
and that is about the condition 1t Is in
now. Understanding that the COM
pany had given a guarantee 70 keep 1t
In repair for five years, Mayor Wiley
wrote to the company In reference to
the matter and received a reply the
following OF which is an extract:
"rhe system will give you no trou'
BILE il it is properly cared for. We
have done everything that could rea-
sonabiy DO expected toward keeping
it in order and when it was wrecked
by storms, lightning and excessive
currents from street railway lines we
had our man go on and never receiv.
ed any compensation"
I'VE therefore feel that at this time
II through some neglect or natural
cause over which We have no control,
the system is out OF order, we should
receive compensation for the services
OF the man we send.

''JoHN II. SUTcLIFFE, President"
After receiving this Mayor Wiley
tried TO hunt up the bond given by
the Company but failing, to come a
cross 1t he replied to tho somewhat
insolent letter OF the Company as fol-
lows:
Il have made an examination into
matters connected with your system,
and learn:
81. That it has never worked proper.
ly or satisfactorily.
'3. That the flash lights were never
in proper working order, or that the
operator was never instructed In theiI
use.
"3 That the universal Judgment is
everywhere expressed that the system
has failed to do what was claimed for
1t and what was promised byyour com
pany.
II find in your contract your prom

three years. j also find that you have
so far as ! can asceTtaln-given no
bonds or security for the faithful per.

Had IL been otherwise the Police Com
mission-a body independent of City
Council-who have entire control OF
your system, would have proceeded at
once against the bond in order to OBJ
tain that compliance with the contract
that the commission think is only fair
and just.
"As it now stands we, of course,
shall be compelled to call In an expert

confidence in this community.

WE HOPE there is no danger OF the
ordinance passing Council to borrow
100000 for the improvement Of the
streets Of our city The Legislature
passed the not authorizing the borrow
ing OF $4,000 for that purpose. but
not more than 100000 OF it for any
one year. AS tho year has consider
ably advanced the street aud sewer
commissioners thought 100000 would
be sufficient for this year and have
consequently asked for that amount.
Our streets as general rule are in a
bad condition, much worse than in
other cities Of the size OF Wilmington
and this Is not creditable to a city OF
$500 Inhabitants. Every personal
consideration on the part OF the mem
bers OF the City Council should be
lost sight OF in this matter and the
ordinance tomorrow night should re-
colve unanimous vote.

IOwA's DEMOCRACY.
A Wise Platform supplemented by Fear
less and Honest Candidate

A Wise Platform supplemented by Fear
less and Honest Candidate
McKinleyism finds no favor at the
hands of the Iowa democracy. Hard
listed farmers have seen the folly OF
taxing their industry for the benefit Of
the prediction of the Louisiana planter
who warned his friends in the rePub-
Hcan party that the esta blishment OF
the principle OF bOunties as tho alter
native of tariff taxes would be the
death kneu OF the protective system
With reason these democrats OF Iowa
have denounced that form Of Paternal-
ism which has substituted a direct for
an indirect bounty. They have learned
what is the tendency Of customs taxes
that interfere with the freedom Of ex-
change on which depends the pros
perity of the producer. No longer will
the farmers of Iowa give assent to the
proposition that laws must be made for
the enrichment of a class They have
entered upon a campaign which viii be
fought to the end without compromise
with paternalisn- They appreciate the
impossibility of giving to the raisers of
corn and wheat the same advantage al
lowed to other classes, and stand on
true democratic doctrine when they
assert that what may not be done for
all shall not be done for any.
On such a platform they have wisely
placed a candidate who proved his
fearlessness when he challenged the
intrenched republicans of his state on a
platform opposed to the theory Of pro
lection. Gov. Boies has gained strength
by his ezempli6cation OF the difference
between honest government for the
people and an unbridled patronage of
the monopOlists- de has shown the
