CONDITION OF THE PHILLIEs.

Before leaving for St. Louis yester-
dav with the Philadelphia Baseball
Club. Manager Staliings said: There
is nothing wrong with our catching de-
partment. nor the outfeld, and while
the infeld is not yet working as
smoothly as it might do, ii will work all
right before long. Liter Lajoie's wrist
heals he will be the best man in the
League at first. Gillen is all right at
short and so is either Cross or Nash at
third. I hear much complaint about
Hallman, but what are these COM
plants based on? He goes for every
thing, covers a Let of ground, is very
reliable on grounders, and besides hits
as we'll as any man on the team at pres
ent. barring perhaps Cooley. Show me
better second baseman in the League
than Hallman, barring Reitz, Lowe
and McPhee? When people talk about
getting a better second baseman than
Halman is they should say where one
can be gotten. Let all the Others do as
well as Hallman, especially at the bat
and we Will win three out OF every
four games we play.

,nE IoRRY VS.. ME PEoPLE

THE l-OBB1 No. lilN Ici ill.,
The session of the General Assembly
IS within about two weeks of its close,
and the likelihood is that the oppon-
ents to the House bill to amend the
charter of the Wilmington and New
Castle Electric Railway Company will
succeed in preventing it from passing.
II is a shameful commentary upon the
session, but none the less true.
The people Of this county are practi-
cally unit in their desire that that
and other kindred bills should pass,
and even. the people Of Kent and Sus-
sex counties have taken a lively inter
est in the matter, knowing that it
meant better times for everybody But
there is a power at Dover which is ap-
parently greater than the will of the
people, and the indications are that
that power will triumph.
The Wilmington and New Castle
Electric Railway Company has made
TO this power more sweeping conces-
. sions than it should have done, and
still the lobby succeeds in holding the
bill up and preventing its passage.
Members who said they were willing to
vote for the bill if certain amendments
were made, stultified themselves by
going back on their word when the al
terations were made to meet their sug-
gestions and demands.
Such inexcusable conduct in the face
of the public will cannot escape re-
buke. Some of the members OF the
General Assembly have made them
selves and others ruined them
selves on this one measure, and
those who have lost the public respect
have done so at the behest Of n few
selfish men who use them as instru-
ments. but who will have no further
use for them after the session closes.
II is singular that men cannot see
the base uses to which they are being
put In this damnable scheme to stoI
enterprise and improvement; to deny
TO the people those conveniences which
are placed within their reach by in
ventive genius backed by capital. and tC
cut off competition which is always
for the benefit Of the public When 1
Is over some of them will see it, but i
will be too late for them to square
themselves with the people whom thel
have disregarded and outraged.
It is wrong for the Representatives
Of any party to injure that party b.
playing into the hands Of private citi
zens who have selfish ends to serve
and who care little for party other thar
as an instrument to enable them to re
alize the ultimate ends of their selfish
ness.

THE MARauErrE STATUE.
Le9islature May Reqacs
It's Return.

Wisconsin Legislature May Request
It's Return.
A resolution has been introduced in the
Wisconsin legislature, and there is expect
ed to be a lively fight over 1t, requesting
Congress to return the Marquette statue to
the state Of Wisconsin.
This request is not based on the
failure Of Congress to accept the
statue so far, but Is on the ground that
there is now in process of erection in Wis
consin a historical library. The intention
is II the statue is returned, to place It in
this library, the contention of those in
favor of the resolution being that Pere
Marquette was a historical character
rather than a citizen renowned for distin-
Quished civic or military services.
1t will be remembered that this statue
was presented to Congress by the legisla-
ture OF Wisconsin, but that owing to the
agitation begun by Representative Linton
and others the statue has not yet been ac-
cepted.
+ It is believed. however. that IL the reso-
luton passes the Wisconsin legislature the
House win accede to the request to prevent
further agitation.
