The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1891-02-19

contiguous thereto for a radius Of six
I miles,
In connection with the Wilmington
City railway Mr.. salisbury showed
that for 10 years the cars were run as
/ an accommodation to the citizens OF
Wilmington without paying cent
dividend on the capital invested. In
fact. though 1t Is now paying or has In
the last year paid 8 per cent, taking
its entire existence 1t has hardly paid
per cent. ON the money invested. Pres
I to La, d. w. Taylor, Vim. Candy AMI
4 Washington Jones also spoke against
the bill.
J.. Harvey Whiteman, Esq, repre-
sented the Front and Union streets
corporation. He listened to all the ar
| guments and then asked the commit
tee TO ho'd matters in allegiance until
the other side could be heard. They
will be down here next week.
This might be termed a comprehen-
slve bill, but there's good many down
here who fail as yet to comprehend il
sufficiently to fall in love with it.
We had the military with us also last
night, and they. stayed with us till
nearly II O'Clock. Captain Mitchell
started the military discussion in the
House, where the meeting was held,
and then General r. II. Kenney took it
up. For over half an hour General
Kenney talked for the boys he used to
command, and he talked well. He
sifted the opposition to the guard,
claimed that no man who thoroughly
understood the situation could or
would oppose the appropriation. and
appealed TO the patriotism OF his hear
ers. General Kenney can talk, and he
did talk last night.
He was at home on his subject, and
he got there with both feet. The
, National Guard will not go overheard
just yet, and the boys will owe thanks
/ to their young acknowledgement not
, only for making the guard what it is
/ to-day, but for helping to have 1t
now
Mr.. Hutson gave notice OF a bill in
the Senate yesterday afternoon which
I will lengthen the terms OF county
/ school superintendent to four years,
allow them $50 per quarter contingent
, fund, and increase the appropriation
to teachers institute to $50.
