A Rreezr Irishman.

Penrose Fitzgerald, the member OF
parliament for Cambridge, is a breezy,
popular lrishman, OF whom many good
stories are told. He is rather nearsight-
ed. and seldom remembers names. A
few days ago he met fellow member
Of parliament, Viscount Kilcoursie, who
had Just become Earl Of Cavan. The
new carl spoke to Mr. Fitzgerald in the
lobby and observing a puzzled look,
was good enough to say pleasantly: 81
rec Won don't know who am. My name
il Cavan. " "Of course, of course, my
dear seIlow, was the answer, ''but for
the moment, admit, l took you for
that ass KilcOursie.

the House, and It was impossible for
him to do anything to get it back.
This disposes of the hopes of the
Addicks people in Kent county. They
have been beaten at every turn, and
this last blow Is the heaviest Of all, for
it renders nugatory all results Of the
legal proceedings which they instituted
some months ago and which they hoped
to profit by one day next week.
The Democrats of Kent county are
full OF resource in time of emergency,
and never have they shown TO better
advantage than in the present bitter
and protracted contest. They seated
their legislative delegation; divided
their Constitutional Convention dele
gates; secured all of their county Off
GERS with the exception of the sheriff,
and prevented Addicks from get
ting his sheriff in; and now they have
cut the ground from under the feet of
the Addicksites In the matter of legal
proceedings. In any other part Of this
state they would have laid down be-
fore the gas man and his creatures,
but the Democrats of Kent county are
built of sturdier stuff and know how
to resent the wholesale debauchery OF
the voters, and to prevent political
brokers from prohting by their unholy
traffic in the ballots Of men who should
be freemen.

LETTERS FROM The PEOPLE.
wATER WORKS FoR laurel

To the Editor of the Evening Journal
Sir: We notice through the columns
of your paper that our august senator's,
j. NJ. G. Moore and William 4. Moore,
say the business people did not want
the bill passed for bonding the town
of Laurel for water works For the
benefit Of the public we will explain
the matter. so we will Just select the
leading parties for and against. Those
favoring the enterprise include such
men as j. Dallas Marvel, who is the
largest manufacturer in this section
wording from $50 to 200 men daily, and
owns very near three times as much
real estate as any man in town, or at
least pays near three times as much
tax.
Then comes every principal mer-
chant in the town including S. T..
Smith, hardware merchant; c. G. Of
we'll, ieweler; S. l.. Kenney, druggist;
w f. and c. w. King. clothing and
shoe stores each; William II. Lloyd,
merchant; Hearn & Co.. merchants;
Union Store Company, II. b. Hitch,
manager; d. o. Moore, lumber mer
chant; e. B. Riggin & Co., carriage
| builders and undertakers; Davis 4
Bro, marble dealers. Very nearly or
quite all the above are real estate own
ers, besides the goods they have IN
! their stores. But they are not business
men in the Judgment Of our CD august
senator's from this section.
Hero are those opposed: DR.. w. D.
| Wolf who has a store-house and
dwelling in town, and his residence just
barely in the town limits, with wind
mill in his yard, where it does not cosi
too much to keep it in repair He does
not stay in Laurel over nine months IN
the year and never has over one mar
hired, and that to attend to his horses
! d. J. Fookes has a store and dwelling
combined and a residence with wind
mill in his yard to furnish his home
supply of water. He keeps a maj
+. hired to attend to that. T. {. Horsey
who owns some stores and dwellings
w. II. Records, ex-senator, two dwell
ings, no special business; J. r. Wilson
; one dwelling, no special business u
/ L. Smith is against II because par
ties he has no use for are for 1t; A. j
Horsey, three or four dwellings on tn
edge of town. no special business, onl
a member OF the Constitutional Con
( vention There are several other
I owning houses and lots on the out
edge of town who are business men 4
, The estimation of our august senators
T, Why? Because when there is vess'
i to be built at Bethel by George
r Phillips & Co.. Il majority of the las
namel men take a part of her, and ou
G august senator's are members of sal
q firm. and therefore they think they al
business men. Shame on such men

q four ar five control the whole busine'

VOICE ON THE PEoPLE.


The voice of the people is powerful,
and it is a very foolish man who shuts
his ears to its warnings. The people
of New Castle county want the new
trolley line from Claymont to Smyrna,
and they are determined to have IT..
The business interests of the city,
county and state demand it, and 1t will
not be wise for any man in public life
to refuse or antagonize that demand.
When members of General Assembly
stand out against the declared wishes
of their constituents they are on ex-
ceedingly dangerous ground, and their
conduct gives rise to suspicion that all
is not right. They are sent to Dover
to represent the people and not to rep
resent themselves or any particular
corporation, or to be blinded by the
specious arguments or other blandish-
ments of lobbyists.
There is not a member of the New
Castle county delegation who is op-
posed to the granting OF the additional
privileges to the Wilmington and New
Castle Electric Railway Company, who
dare stand out in the open and give
any truthful reason for his opposition
TO the bill. He dare not tell the truth
and he cannot afford to tell a lie, foi
the public will mark him as soon as he
makes the declaration.
The people Of New Castle county are
practically a unit that the bill be
passed. Hundreds of them have peti
toned the General Assembly, an'
thousands more will do so If necessary
They are in earnest, and do not wan
TO be trihed with by two or three mel
who are recreant to their trust to thu
public. and subservient to the peni
cious influences of private interests.
This is not a political question, bu
II these men persist in disregardinl
the wishes of the people of New Castle
county they will be compelled, in self
defence, to make It an issue. The.
cannot see their chosen representative
disregarding their obligations to tn
public for their obligations to privat
persons, without resenting the unfaith
fulness and rebuking It.
II those members who are defyinI
their constituents have any regard fo
their own political future and the inter
est Of the Democratic party, whicl
placed them where they are. they vii
depart from their present line of con
duct and voice the sentiments Of thei
constituents, and not parade aroun'
Dover wearing the collars placed oi
them by private corporations which
while powerful, are as nothing whei
compared with the power vested in a
indignant people.
Evening journal., 1897-04-17

The most serious objection which
can be urged against the bill to abolish
the boards of road commissioners in
the several hundreds of New Castle
county and place all of the roads in the
county under the control of the Levy
Court and supervisors TO be appointed
by that body, is that it will make tn,
Levy Court one of the biggest politica
machines in the state, for It will have
it's influence extended into every hun
dred, both by reason of the appointing
power and the administration of roaC
affairs.
