LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Mhy Conaemn sllrerbrooIs.

To tho Editor Of the EVENING JOUsNAB
SIR: The reasons urged for condemn
ing Silverbrook are. First, IL is abso
lutely necessary for the further progress
OF the city's Improvements Second, Il
is the natural drainage of all tire terri
tory from Eighth street to the pulp
works. Third, 1t is well adapted to
manufacturing, both on account of the
natural sewerage aud railroad facilities,
Railroad avenue being almost parallel
with the stream from Lancaster avenue
to the pulp works Railroads run
through all, or Immediately contiguous
to all the land the stream runs through.
Fourth, The Street snd Sewer De-
partment should take II in
charge, il for no other reason
than to encourage manufacturers.
The Board Of Trade should protect and en-
courage by their moral support those
manufacturers who are here before they
talk about encouraging foreign manu-
faoturers. The tax payers In this city are
almost unanimous in asking the Legi5.
lature to pass the bill, and as they hear
the brunt, they must be considered their
request should be granted. Suppose the
Ford s or anyone else should offer site
for large manufacturing establishment
who employ from 200 to 800 hands. and
1t transplred that che parties shoald de
eide, owing to their inability to use
stream, not to locate here, how would our
people feel2 Such thing IS likely to hap
pen. The more enterprises established
the more money expended. more hands
employed, more houses built, more gro
ceries, clothes, shoes, dry goods and
other things bought aud sold
This is a matter that eryoAe is in-
terested in. A.

nightmare Of foolish msconception. Tie
paving of street or the building of a
school house or a market is wo tn all it
costs and more to each individual tax
payer. Both increase the value of his
property at geometric ratio to the
value Of the taxes he pays. 1t is not
wise for sane man to put himself in
opposition to this proposition on any
other ground than that the city does not
need the proposed paving and public
buildings

PHILADELPHIA has cast a Republican
majority Of 10000 1t is the only large
metropolitan community in the United
States that is Republican, aud has all
other evidences Of unprogressiveness. II
is impossible to ride two blocks on It's
creeping horse cars without recognizing
that one is in a city where the classes are
pampered and the masses, II rot robbed,
are ignored 1t is not strange that
Philadelphia is Republican It's very
name is a sham, just as Republlcanism
and protectionism are shams. II Phila.
delphia loved her people she would moi
rob them with a tariff, and she would
give them better facilities for the pur.
suit Of happiness.

SENATOR QUAY's statements have moi
been received with any more excitement
by the country at large than by the sena-
tors who heard them. OF course the
denials come late. That is bad An
honest, innocent and sensitive man
denies at once Besides that Senator
Quay's statements now contradict some
ether statements made heretofore But
It does not matter whether Quay is
guilty OF not, he is necessary to the ex-
isteuce OF this administration and that
settles IT, He must stay.

A womANs WISH.

When I watch the little ones at their play,
There creeps in my bosom bitter pain,
And wish, and wish il were yesterday
And were a child agaiul
When hear the little ones laugh ring out,
To cast my womanhood am fain,
And wish that the years would right about,
And make me a child again.
When / see the little ones l1neel in prayer,
Ny tears drop down like a slow, sad rain,
And wish with longing scarce can bear,
That were a child againl

Lord's PRAYER IN a BreastpIn.

Augustus L. Barrett has a curiosity in the
shape of breastpin, in which is set asmall
circle of paper hardly half an inch in di-
ameter on which is written the whole Of
the Lords prayer. What makes the work
especially remarkable is that it was done
with a quill pen. The words can be made
out by persons with extra good eyesight
without the aid of a magnifying glass.

In an interview with the EVENING
JOURNALS S bright young man concerning
the proposal to expend sufficient money
to put the city Of New Castle abreast Of
the times in paved streets aud public
buildings, J. Beckley Vining said. The
whole thing is an abomination and If
allowed to pass will have the effect of
robbing poor people Of their homes, by
heavy taxes" That may be one way to
discuss such a proposition, but it is not
the right way. Neither public improve
ment nor public debt is an abomination.
Under our system of government, where
there cannot be an accumulation Of
capital, Of surplus, by taxation in exceFs
of the amount necessary to meet
current expenses, public debts are
everywhere and at all times
recognized as necessary. Because at
some times and some places public
debts have been unwarrantsbly increased
is no reason why there should never be
another public debt for necessary i'm
provement That is an argument un-
worthy Of the days of newspapers, steam
and electricity. 1t is the argument Of
one who has "his future behind him "
The civil war could not have been con-
Quoted without creating a debt, nc
public works that M. Vining
can remember have been completed
without creating a public debt. The
theory that public improvement will
be equivalent to ''robbing poor people OF
their homes by heavy taxas" is sort Of

In reference to the bill now before the
Legislature for the condemnation Of
Silverbrook, we print a letter giving
several cogent reasons in the interest Of
the public. why the condemnation should
be effected. It is maintained first, that the
progress Of the city west is retarded by
the stream, second that it is the natural
drainage fer al the territory between
Eighth street and the pulp works. and
third 1t would be well adapted for
manufacturing purposes These are
three cogent reasons for condemning the
stream in the interest, for the benefit and
At the cost Of the people II, as it seems
TO be the case, the stream
Is hindrance to the growth Of the city.
If II prevents the establishment Of
factories. and if it would make a good
sewer, then there can be no question
that the stream should be condemned
Those are public reasons, they repre-
sent the interest that the public has and
the benefit the public would derive from
cnange Of the uses of the stream
from distinctly private to public uses

THE Chester Times mourns, whines
and misstates, probably not so much from
malice as from habit, thus:
The people OF New Castle county
Delaware, elected q Republican Lew
Court. The Democrats In the Legisla
ture propose to abolish the court and run
the machine with Eve commissioners. ali
or whom are to be Democrats. The
Levy Court is good thing when it is
Democratic When II is not, well-the
Democrats do not want it.
There are as many msstatements in
this short paragraph as could be con.
densed into a small space It shows the
perfection Of myoptic Republican parti-
sanship, the result of long training in
misrepresentation. Let us take the
statements seriatim. The people of New
Castle county did not elect Republican
Levy Court; negroes enough were m
ported and bought here to show false
majority. The Democrats did not propose
to abolish the Levy Court after or because
Of the result of the alleged election, they
proposed to abolish it two years ago and
introduced bill fer that purpose, which
was defeated by the Republicans
in the Legislature of 1889. The Demo-
Gratis do not propose, and never have pro
posed, that the entire five commissioners
should be Democrats. Now the Times
might be fair enough to correct it's error
and still not lose any real honest political
advantage for Republieanism in Pennsyl
venia or anywhere else, but it is not
likely to correct errors and misstate-
ments which are the result Of ignorance
concerning the affairs Of Delaware. The
Times has evidently forgotten that the
Five Commissioners bill was introduced
by Democ rats In the former Legislature
while the entire Levy Court was Demo-
cratic, and in addition to that, it is evil
dent from the above misstatements that
the editor Of the Times has not read the
present Five Commissioners bill.
