The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1897-01-21

y FOOLS turn to tho Republicans who are
now conducting this contest case in Con-
gross.
TnE second Legislature scored the courts
III their manifesto, which appears in an
y other column Of the REPUBLICAN,. The
article is worth reading. 1t is not always
well to say publicly what You think of
the courts or the manner in which they
have been conducted in the interest OF the
Democratic party. Unfortunately, the
bench is soidly Democratic and every de.
cision when appealed to the Courts, hav
Ing been against the Republicans in our
State, 1t has had a tendency to call forth
criticism, not always complimentary to the
make Of the Court, The Court should
have the respect Of every citizen of the
l# community and not its hatred
AND now our citizens will witness the
strange spectacle Of one branch Of our city
government suing another branch for
bill of Slo26.S6 for plumbing done by
Plumber Miller at Schools No. 8 and A.
Suit has been brought and City Solicitor

Health in his official capacity. Weshoud
think he was as much legal officer Of the
Board of Education us any other branch
Of our city government He is certainly
placed in a peculiar position by the fight
between these two bodies Tho tax payers
will have 10 foot the bill, no matter bow
the controversy is decided.
1T is unfair to the patrolmcn who went
GU duty on Tuesday evening at o'clock.
to be kept waiting at the City Hall on
"Wednesday morning for Judge BAH to
make his appearance in the Municipal
Court. The cases that were set for nine
o'clock Wednesday, have not yet been dis
posed Of. The officers and witnesses were
IN attendance, but no Judge put in an ap.
pearapce to try the cases; not even the
deputy judge Eddie r. Cochran, Ir., was
around. But then. what rights have
police officers or the poor devil who is so
unfortunate as to be gathered into the
:. police net.
THIS is peculiar weather. First it is so
cold you imagineyou are residing at the
North Pole. The sir is cold and crisp and
70 keep warm you have to keep moving
along when out doors. The next day or
two it is like spring day you can 90
shout without an overcoat. But the kind
Of weather we have been having is the
Kind to give the doctors plenty to do, and
the undertakers who bury the doctors
mistakes. With our changeable climate,
1t Is hard to dress so that you will not take
q cold, but care should he exercised that
yonr clothing Is seasonable.
WHO will care for John r. Salisbury
nowp He has not one half as much iu-
huence in the Democratic party as he had
before the Legislature convened, the first
Of this month. Leaders, that Is, great
leaders are not made in day, although
Billy Bryan sprang up quickly and came
y near capturing the country on the crazy
idea Of free silver. Anything free has Il
host of followers.
The South is keeping up its unenvable
record for lynching negroes. Three col
ored men were taken out Of Jail at Amite
City, La, on Wednesday and lynChGd
The men bad murdered Mr. and Mrs
Cotton, Mrs. Stevenson, Lizzie and Mer-
ven Miller. Such methods oil lawlessne5s
does not make the people of the country
have very good opinion of the South
and its methods.
JUST think, a bill has been introduced
IN the Legislature to do away with that
rslic OF barberlsm in our State, the whip
ping post What transformation for
DslawareY The paragraph writers will
have nothing to write about for The metro
polltan journals It this particular kind of
. Justice is shalishnd.
