The Money Question and the city Election.

The Money Question and the city Election.
The Republicans OF this city are
very anxious that the Democrats, in
the municipal campaign now pending,
shall make the money question the
main issue, and insist upon the nomi-
nation of candidates for mayor and
other city offices who are firmly com.
mitted to the policy of free and un.
limited coinage Of silver.
The reason for this anxiety is plain.
The Republican party of Wilmington is
so hopelessly split into factions that
the united support of Republican
ticket at the coming election is practi.
cally impossible. They hope, therefore,
to see the Democrats divide upon the
money issue, and thus pave the way to
the election of one or the other of the
Republican factional tickets.
Tho Democrats, however. should not
act upon this generous advice. The
issue of the next election is not the
financial policy of tho general govern
ment, but the one OF good local ad
ministration for the city OF Whining
ton. The Democratic aim, therefore,
should be to place in nomination.. for
the various Offices men whose character
and attachments shall bs a positive
guarantee that the trusts reposei in
them will bo honestly and faithfully
administered II this is dono, the
ticket will be solidly supported, without
regard to the views OF the various can
didatas upon the financial policy OF
the country. To attempt. on the other
hand, to make the city election a test
of the local feeling upon the money
question. is to simply invite Demo
cratic defeat. The vote of the city at
the November election is a guarantee
OF this.
II the Democrats, sincerely desire to
carry thu next election in this city,
with the political advantage that will
accrue from auch victory. they will
give no heed TO Interested advice com.
ing from Republican sources. Rather
they should do exactly the roverse Of
what the Republicans would like them
| TO do.

Abiding to the evident necessity for
some amendments to the election laws,
the Delawaroan suggests that law be
enacted requiring all the ballots TO DO
of the same size and on the same kind
of paper; let them be furnished out
side, as under tho former law; require
every one except the voter and the
election officers to be good distance
from the polls; require every voter in
going to the polls to pass alone through
an enclosure. where he could have
ample opportunity to change his ballot
without being seen by any ono; throw
out all marked ballots aud include
among marked ballots every ballot con.
taining the name of any person for an
Office who has not regularly been
nominated therefor and had his nomi-
nation certified, in a manner to be
prescribed by the Law. A law of this
sort would hs simple and inexpensive,
and we believe it would he a great
improvement upon our present system. T"

The bill for tlo protection of female
employees, sent to the Legislature by
Mr.. peter }. Ford, has been amended by
restricting its operations to New Castle
county. The measure is good one, but
it needs some further amendment, 90
as to make its provisions less arbitrary
than they now are, as applied to some
establishments. For instance, it re-
quires sitting rooms for women in
places where more than certain mum

be Unnecessary. With the chaugss
needed to prevent the bill from becom-
ing an impositiun instead of benefit,
it should be enacted into law.

The St0rngc of OIL.

The Ordinance Committee met last
evening. with Messrs Farrant and Will
Hams present. for the purpose of con-
siiering the resolution of Mr.. Jones. of
Oct. Is, lS9e, 10 the effect that the Or
dinance Committee bring in an action
regulating the storage of oils and gaso-
line within the city limits
The advertisement asking the attend
ance of parties Interested In the sale of
oils had the effect of bringing out
Messrs. Farquharson, Arlington, Coffee
and Philhower.
y number of points were discussed
among others the ACCESSIBILITY of con-
lining the storage of oils to certain To-
calities. The Richmond ordinance af-
fccting the inspection of oils was read.
1t was argued by the gentlemen present
that oil was very much scattered about
the city. and yet IL is extremely rare
that one hears of an accident or fire due
thereto.
Owing to the fact that so few of the
parties interested were present It was
decided to adjourn until the next regu-
lar meeting. when fuller attendance
may be had and additional data OBJ
tanned so that the committee may act
the more intelliGently.
AS sort of suggestion the idea was
advanced that an ordinance he drawn

The management of the Union mis-
sion, on lower church street are very
anxious to establish n good library and
great need of these will be apparent to
those familiar with the workings of the
mission and the class of men frequent
ing it-sailorS and others who have no
other place to go 1t would also he a
great boon to the men of Norfolk living
and doing business in this section of
the city. DIR. Coke Smith in his sermon
Sunday night. called attention TO this
great need of the mission. and his re-
marks are already bearing fruit.
Several of the ladies connected with
the mission work have interested them
selves In the matter. and n large num-
Der of books have already been collect
ed, but the cooperation and help of all
interested in the welfare of their fellow
man is urgently needed. The daily pa
pers of this and other cities. and the
current magazines will be greatly APP
prcciated. 1t is therefore earnestly re-
quested that all those having books.
etc. which they can contribute to this
most praiscworthy object will either
send them to the mission or drop n pos
tai To the superintendent. who will send
after them. 1t is hoped that this appeal
will not be made In vain. as the mission
is doing Il great work among men. The
mission is also in great need uf old
clothing of all kinds. 4 postal to the
superintendent from those having any
to contribute will meet with prompt at
tention.
