INDIGNANT CATHOLICS.


show Their Hands.
The Catholics OF this city are indig
nant over the action of the Republican
members OF the Levy Court yesterday
morning Ia the matter Of appropriations
IL will be remembered that Mr.. HEX
man offered two resolutions. These
resolutions authorized two orders Of
81, 600 TO be paid to st. Peters Female
orphanage and st. James Protectory at
Delaware City. These amounts rep
resented two years appropriation to each
of these charitable institutions
Commi .siouer Clark, voicing the Re.
publican side of the house, asked II such
an appropriation was required by law.
and had the matter referred to special
committee comprised of Messrs. Clark
Hutchison and Hickman
This action is regarded as foreruuner
to trouble over the appropriation. Mr..
Hickman will certainly vote for the ap.
preparation but there Is fear that the
two Republican members of thu commit
tee will render an adverse report and al
low their difference of creed to influence
them. If they do so the wire pullers on
the Republican side will get what they
desire, and the appropriations will not be
made.
Eight years ago the Levy Court passed
a resolution making the following annual
appropriations to charitable institutions
and associations: Childrens Home, $500;
Ferris Reform School, $500 Homeopa,hi
Hospital, $500; Delaware Hospital. $500; ,
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty TO
Children, $500; Sc. Peters Female
0rphanage, $500; St James Protectory,
$500. There was not law
for any Of them exeept
this Children's Home. Nevertheless they
all received the appropriation regularly
until two years ago, when the condition
OF the county finances prevented l..
Since then the finances have improved,
and all of them have been paid the 81 600
for the two years but two Catholic in
situations that are benefoiaries under the
resolu ton Efforts have been made TO
have them paid, but yesterday Mr.. CLARK
took the bull by the horns and the out
