The combination OF the Democrats Of
ths Third, Tenth. Eleventh and Twelfth
wards will have good effect upon the

the control o. the organization get into

itself into a Little Tsmmany to control
the primaries and parcel out the nomi
nations among It's own members, regard
less Of the rights and wishes Of the

will prove source Of party weakness
and much more harmful at the prlma

a oommeroIal RasIs.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Ex Senator Higgins, OF Delaware, says
that ] Edward Addlcks is not only a
political pirate bat a moral idiot This
is tolerably strong language, even for
Delaware, and would seem to call for a
bill OF particulars As far as appears,
Addicks' moral idiocy Ia shown by the
possession of longer. purse than the
other fellows. Republican politics in
Delaware have n ever been upon any
other than q commercial basis. While
the operations were consned TO the
modest figures TO which Delawareans
we're accustomed, It WAS all right. But
for E rank outsider to come in and out
bid the natives was all wrong. Addicks'
methods are unquestionably Abhorrent
But what about Hannas methods 10 the
South2 IL does seem like strsining a
point to ask Hanna to exclude Addicks
because Of his use of Doodle.

LAwrers not Naeded.

Teachers Of public schools are, as q
class, the poorest paid Of our public
servants, even while performing the
most useful and exscAug Of public
duties. They get less remuneration
than our policemen and even the city dog
cal icher has In the past made more money
out Of his undesirable office than any
school teacher In. Wilmington. outside Of
some Of the heads OF the educational
departments This Is not tribute to
pedagogics but Il Is brszon fact that
de6es contradiction. Oar teachers are
meanly paid for the services they per
form and on the public service payroll
natures law OF mind over matter seems
TO be reversed.
Such being the case. we cannot expect
our teachers to expend in lawyers fees
what little they make In teaching. A
few charges flsd against a teacher by
parents who believe that their children
are being unjustly or inhumsnely treated
ut school would soon lead the lawyers to
retirement on q competency and the
teacher to bankruptcy and the poor
house.
We do not believe that it should be
necessary for lawyers TO figure before
the Board Of Public Education in these
controversies between teachers and
parents. The charges are usually very
simple, and the evidence positive ard
not ciroumstantial. II is merely q
question OF fact, which no lawyer can
change by GLOSS examination or orstory
The membsrs Of the Board Of Public
Education are fully capable Of drawing
out the facts from the witnesses. weigh
Ing the evidence and determining the
verdict.
Even when the prosecution sees fit to
employ counsel that is no reason why the
teacher should be compelled to do like
wise, and we think It would be well for
the members Of the board TO Instruct the
teachers that they can get fair and i'm.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

Edward Addlcks has met with a
terrible reversal OF political fortune.
just when he was. so to spsak, on the top
most round OF tbs ladder after q

mercllefsly cast to the foot, with the

colleagues and officially declared not to
be a Republican.
We believe that he will now begin 4
relentless warfare against those who
have bsen responsible for his diseom-
fture and hsraldsd It throughout the
world. He is not the man TO tamely
submit to such an ultimatum and will
continue Ia politics for revenge, II for
nothing else. BY placing a state

plished his defeat at st. Louis can ac-
complish nothing In the way Of getting

gins cannot win; Addlcks will not let

not permit It. This means Democratic
victory In Delaware without a shadow
