EDIToR or HKfUBLIcAN.--In lagt Mou,
atay's issne Of tho REPUBLICAN, In one 81

nearly ous thqylaand (l000) vacant houses
and stores. You also speak Of landlords
banding themselves together TO protect
themselves from the innumorable dead
beats who cheat the landlords out Of their

prevent them from cheating others.
Now, dear sir, that may be your way Of
looking at things, but 1t is not my way
and as the only way Of obtaining know
ledge Is by exchanging views 1t Is only
fair that l should have the opportunity Of
expressing my views through the columns
Of the REPUBLICAN In answering your ed
itorlal. should soy for nearly one thous-
and idle houses In a city whose population
is capable Of occupying them that It is
deplorable condition and indicates the in
ability Of the Landlords to rent Through
lack OF work). Now us to the report of
the real estate men, to my mind, 1t Is east.
ly answered The contention of houses
has by no means kept step with the in.
Grease and spread Of our population (as by
marriage etc).
Your next clause Is an outrage on the
honesty and integrity Of the citizens of
Wilmington, for you say there should be
bOll6 way Dy WHICH tu6 iduQluruS buOulu
band themselves together to protect them
selves from the innumerable dead beats
who cheat them out of their rent That
item alone Is enough to lead the unknown
to think that Wilmington Is bad place
to live, where the dead beats are SO
thick (for the whole population is not in
numerable)
Some desirable persons thinking of
coming to Wilmington might change their
minds and stay away; then again you
know the old saying that birds Of O
feather flock together" The article might
be read by some unworthy person, who
might come here. Now, would say the
remedy does not lay in black list, that
would simply drive desperately poor
people to revolution. Yours resp

Tho REPUBLICAN would be pleasedfo
hear from and of our readers on this sub
iect.
Some landlords have been very lenient
with those Of their tenants who have been
and have not distressed them.
There is unfortunately small percentage
of people who never paid their rent, even
during good times, as they went on the
plea that u moonlight flight saved money
for themselves even II it did cheat the land
lord. We have been sufferer. l-ED.

CHIEF of Police Dolan is preparing q
bill to be presented to the Legislature to
regulate the business of pawn brokers,
second hand goods men and junk dealers
10 the city OF Wilmington. There should
be some law that should have direct
bearing on the pawn brokerage business,
the same as in any of the larger cities, as
for instance, Philadelphia, New York or
Baltimore. The pawn shops, ms now con.
Quoted In our city can easily be used as a
fence and take care of stolen property.
The proposed bill is to aid the police in
tracing stolen property and preventing
thieves from disposing of their plumber in
our city at least. The bill should be passed
as 1t would be the means Of protecting
our citizens from designing men engaged
h the pawn business.
