The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1897-02-18


ITS enough to make long cared animal
laugh TO hear Some meG in our State talk
about holding pure elections. The very
men who are beRrGciaries Of the steal
that has been going on in Delaware for
years, are now leading the van in crying
out for pure ballot and an honest count.
The only way TO get honest elections is TO
put the rascals who were conducting them
and who broke the laws, in Jail. If all
men feared the law, they would not at.
tempt to alter tally sheets and throw out
votes on the nerest prctcxt The present
blanket ballot should be abolished and the
old vest pocket way Of voting gone back
TO again. There was less cheating then
IT, an now and the mode of voting cost the
State considerable less money than the
present way Of conducting our elections

the price of the telegraph, the tele-
phone, freight, passenger and other
charges, the lighting of cities, the
cost Of riding on street railways, to
increase excise taxation, to limit the

to hamper druggists in their bust

bills have their origin in the minds of
legislators themselves, and are intro

parties in interest to disgorge money
that the bills may be killed. In self
defense and to prevent the utter ruin
of their business individuals, as well as
corporations, yield to INSCRIPTIONS

that wealth and capital are synony-

There is danger in the undue in
reference of the State in private af-
fairs. l believe the time has come
when honest men should speak out as
their conscience dictates, in reference
to present economic conditions. The
modern agitators, who seek to array
the masses of the people against cor
porate wealth, should be made to UNI
derstand that there is good, as we'll
as evil, in wealth, and that the good
more than counterbalances the evil.
1T must be understood by all that
legitimate combinations of capital are

themselves to minimize the danger

THE SPANISH PROMISE.

I-ondnn, OCTOBER 25.-The Madrid
correspondent OF the Standard SAYS:
A member of the Cabinet assures
me that the government intends TO
give Cuba complete local government
with universal suffrage. to elect mu-
nicipal and provincial councils and an
lnsular parliament. The latter will be
composed of upper and lower cham
bers, having entire control of taxation
and tariff. The responsible govern
ment will be composed of five minis
tiers, whose councils will be presided
over by the Governor General.
THE same minister says that the
government does not believe the Span
ish note will cause friction with the
United States because 1t is couched in
a friendly tone and virtually shows
that Spain is doing what the United
States has repeatedly advised"

THE Spanish press unanimously sup

the prelude to rupture. | spoke with
three members Of the cabinet to-day
Sunday, who in almost identical
words, contended that Spain has the
right after her tremendous sacrGice in
Cuba to demand the observance OF in
ternational neutrality by other ma
tons. One of them added: The gor-
dion knot is the United States without
whose help the rebellion would long
ago have been suppressed. We do not
want war, but every European nation
will approve of our defense of our in
ternational rights
THE Spanish naval forces in the

the pretext of necessity for increased
vigilance on the Cuban coast. Gen.
Weyler has cabled denial OF the report
