The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1897-11-17

TIE REPUBLICAN wants to emphasize
Its remarks made about the remarkable
utterances of Deputy Collector of Revenue
Wells, in his interview with reporter on
Saturday last, in which he evidently
thought his remarks about Delaware re.
publicans were funny. But sinco they
have been put in print. they don't look
half as funny Us Mr.. Wells thought they
did when he uttered them. He now trio5
to get out Of the hornets nest his remarks
stirred up by saying that the reporter mis-
quoted him. This we do not believe, as
he has made several other just as remark
able utterances to other reporters on moro
than one occasion since he has come into
his present position. He should return to
Maryland, whore he still resides and a
Delaw arean given his position.

The Public Revenue.

Tho increase of some forty per cent in
thecustom revenue for October, compared
with the preceding month OF August,
should quiet the approximations of any but
the most historical croakers that the Ding
ley tariff has proved failure as revenue
producer. lnpor'a'ions will continue to
increase Us the lnburcrs Of our country are
more generally employed at higher wages
aud eventually there Will be surplus at
the end Of every month and not II deficit

can legally practice their profession before

PEELED to pay tho license fee of $40, and
they intend to test the Legality of tho
same. We should like to 500 tho law con-
tested, but can see how tho lawyers can
escape paying tho State tax. Real estate
agents are required to pay State tax of
$50 each, while lawyers. who only pay u
license fee of $40, have been for years CON

The question has often been asked if they
