There are many indications that the
forces within the Republican party
that favor the free coinage OF silver,
together with those that champion the
cause of protection, will rally around
Mckinley az their logical as well ag
favorite candidate for the nomination
for President. One of these indications
is contained in speech delivered by
Mr.. Pritchard, the Republican. Populist
Senator from North Carolina, at a
Lincoln Day celebration in Chicago at
which Mckinley was also a speaker
Mr. Pritchard said:
We must have ringing declaration
in our platform in favor of protertion
to home industries, and we must nomi-
nate as our standard bearer a man
about whose record there can be M
question, and whose fidelity 10 the
cause in the past has been such az 10
guarantee his approval of a bill which
has for its object the protection of every
legitimate interest within the United
States. In my Judgment no better
man could be chosen than the Hon.
William Mckinley of Ohio.
OF course, there is no doubt as to
what Senator Pritchard means by "a
bill which has for it's oh iect the pro.
lection Of every legitimate object
within the United States" lie il a
Popn'st, and to Populistic eyes free
silver coinage is tho panacea for every
i'll that this country is likely t. DO
afflicted with.
And So the nomination of Mckinley
on a free SILVER coinage platform by thc
Republican convention would not to
surprising. What will the sound

Ii docs not seem to have penetrated
the minds of the average iingoes that
their attitude upon the Venezuelan
dispute has been the very reverse of
patriotic. They assume that Great
Britain has been simply playing a
grab game" and making a bluff to
acquire territorial possessions. In fact,
that spirit of sclfishness and sordid
greed, not of patriotism. was the main
spring of England's action throughout.
1t must be remembered, however
that many Of Great Britain's loyal sub.
iects are residents of the territory in
dispute, and that they have substantial
business and personal interests there.
1t is patriotic duty of Great Britain
to look carefully after the interests of
these loyal citizens, before consenting
to their transfer to tho dominion and
jurisdiction of foreign government.
What greater boast was ever made for
the government of the United States
than that il protected its humblest
citizen, to the uttermost parts Of the
world?
A timely and pertinent statement
upon this feature of the situation is
the following, taken from an editorial
in tho New York Evening Post:
A III peaceable transfers of inhabited
territory in modern times, of which we
have any knowledge, have been either
transfers between two powers of equal
civilization or transfers from semi.
civilized or barbarous power to civil
ICED ono of sottled government. In fact,
II has long been rule OF Christendom
not to hand over its own subjects TO
barbarans, and not to leave them sub
iect TO barbarian jurisdiction even as
sojourners in the barbarian country.
We do not see how Lord Salisbury can
possibly break through this rule In
our own case, we should certainly assert
it firmly. The conversion of Americans
into Dagoesn or Greasers'' is some
thing to which we should never submit,
and IL would be an offence against
civilization to do 30. Tho root Of the
difficulty is the fate OF these British
residents, and the true work for com.
mission of inquiry would seem to he
the aspertainment Of their number and
habitat, and the possibility of drawing
a line, including them, which will be
satisfactory to all parties. How many
of them are therey What area do they
cover? Over how many Of them do
the Venezuelans claim jurisdiction
Can they be bought out or be induced
to move at moderate expense? These
are really the questions to be answered.
When they are answered satisfactorily
the trouble is over.
Certainly, with the United States
occupying the position of Great Bri-
tain, as far as British Guiana is con
corned, there would be united demand
in this country that the interests of
our citizens there be adequately pro-
tocted. They would not be interlopers
and adventurous, but citizens with sub
stantial interests, living within what
they considered tbs legal boundaries OF
their own country. What patriotism
would there BIO in abandoning such
people to foreign and perhaps hostile
government, without even protest?
1t il really sad to think that ,the
iingoes of this country are devoid OF
patriotism. but in this Venezuela mat
ter they have shown that they are.

The Philadelphia Record, answering
the question of correspondent,
heartily favors tho nomination by the
Democratic National Convention Of
Secretary of tho Treasury John G. Car.
Isle for President Of the United States,
II says
There is no Democrat in the United
States who better deserves the nomina-
tlon for the Presidency than John q.
Carlisle. He is one of the foremost men
IN the country, and one Of the ablest
and purest OF our public men. TIE
Record would support him with all tho
energy Of which it is capable. On all
OF the political and economic issues
which now divide public opinion in
the United States Mr.. Carlisle stands
committed to sound Democratic poli
cles. On The particular issue of finance
whlch should be settled at the next
election his speeches made last wear in
hentucky ana Iennessee have put him
in the forefront Of the battle. No other
man has risked SO much or dealt so
clearly with the money question. With
him as candidate there could be- no
evasve platform.
The particular issue Of finance'' is
one that is bound to figure in the com
ing campaign. And when it comes TO
naming candidates, it will be- found
that tho Democratic convention will
have no trouble in finding men who arc
sound TO the core on the money aues
tion, If it shall elect to choose from
among them.

a Newspaper Enemy TO the community.
The following characteristic utterance
is from the editorial columns of the
Daily Republican Of Monday:
The only thing that keeps the State
from becoming progressive is it's
Democracy. Democracy and progress
never go hand in hand Delaware is
a living example of this fact. 1t Is
hard to say such things about ones
native State, but nevertheless it is an
uncontradicted fact
Here is declaration from a news-
paper-or rather, paper, for it would
be libeious to call the Republican a
ewspaper-which draws it's sustenance
from the people of this community,
and in return ISLANDERS them. Such of
the outside world as read the Republi
can arc informed in its columns that
this State is not progressive, and the
assertion is reiterated in a manner in
tended to give il an air of truth.
1t is fact that any intelligent out
slider who formed his opinion of Della
ware and its people by the appearance,
character and conduct of the old Re-
publican, would be entirely justified in
considering this State two hundred
years behind the times, and utterly de-
void OF energy, enterprise or progress
He would naturally think that we had
no telegraphic communication with the
oustide world; that railroads were un-
known here, and that the psople were
content to be informed of the happen
ings of the rest of the world, week or
more after they had occurred.
Delaware is progressive State. We
have the telegraph, railroads, canals,
electric lights, we'll appointed and
well-managed towns, excellent schools
and academies, and colleges, and a
State college for colored students. The
public schools of Wilmington are equal
to those of any other city in the coun-
try. There is a system of electric rail
way in this city that few cities can
surpass. Our manufacturers lead the
world. Tho public institutions OF
tho State are ample and we'll conducted.
The debt of the State ia small and its
assets large. The people arc intelli
gent, and as community compare
favorably with any other in the country.
We are not in the benighted condition
that the Republican would try to make
out, and that a perusal of its antiquated
columns would justify any outsider in
believing us to be living under.
True, we are governed by an an
tiquated Constitution, fastened upon
us by the old Wing allies of the Re
publican, but the people have voted for
q convention to revise this ancient in.
strument, and u new Constitution will
doubtless be in operation by another
year. This is the only respect in which
Delaware hae proved non progressive
In an effort TO lie smart, and 10
make partisan point, the old Re-
publican has been vindictive. 1t has
misrepresented and slandered the com.
munity from which it derives it's sup
port. II is bad enough to have such a
paper, by its miserable appearance and
lack of energy, stand as specimen OF
Wilmington progress, without having
its columns loaded with ISLANDERS upon
the city and State. It's ignorance
makes it an enemy to the community
upon which it preys for living.

HELP THE GIRLS.
Homes Will be Needed for a Number
OF Those in the Oxford ASYLUM.

There are number of girls in the
| Oxford Orphan Asylum whose time
will be out in a short while by reason
OF having reached their eighteenth
| birthday, the limit for girls to remain
| at the Asylum. Homes will be Sc.
cured for some of them, and perhaps
others will return to their relations.
They are all in the highest studies and
have bright minds and willing hands
for study and work. 1t would be an
easy matter for some friends of the Or
phans, who would like for these young
girls to make good and useful women,
to make such thing more possible by
giving them free scholarships at some
OF our academies or colleges. The
Normal and Industrial School holds
out very favorable advantages to girls,
not to mention other schools that do
the same. We are aware that great
many people think the little education
obtained at the Asylum is amply suffi-
Gent for both girls and boys, but is not.
And leaving out the educational part
OF the question, which s first. the
Asylum is not prepared to give these,
girls the necessary training for an in
dependent livelihood. 1t is true they
are taught how to cook, wash, sew
and do other important things neces-
sary in every household, but beyond
this there is very little taught them.
A limited number are taught teleG-
raphy, and that is the only profession
al occupation. If there were other
lines of professional study in this in
stltutlon such as so many young girls
are putting to practical use to earn
their living, all right. Blu. because of
this lack the need for a course in some
OF these branches at our colleges is
apparent.
The market is already overrun with
cooks, washerwomen and housemaids.
These places are filled by negroes.
Even if these girls are poor, and Or
phans, they should at least be classed
IN higher grade than mere menials-
drawers Of water, ETC., etc. Have not
the orphan white girls right to expect
little better than this? Not because
they are not willing to work: Oh,
no. !
Now who will help these girls by
paying their expenses Chose who de-
sire to go) to some school where they
can be taught good, practical
method of earning a living: The cost
need not be much, but the result will
be satisfactory, we are sure. If any
one desires to do such good work for
one OF these girls, let the desire be
made known before they leave the
Asylum. Give the girls-the orphan
glrls-a chance.-Oxford Orphans
