DAUGHTERS OF THE POOR,

What is alleged to be the biggest scenic
spectacle OF the season is Thomas H. Davis
and William 4. keoghs new play,
Daughters of tho Poor" which makes its
appearance in this city for tho first time at
tho Grand Opera House on Monday after-
noon and night.
This simple love story Of life In the big
tenement district of the cast side, New
York City, is set in scenic framework
that is said to rival anything Of it's Kind
nut OH the boards this year. The artist,
John II. Young, of New York. has welded
hi, brush to good effect, and has given the
stage display Of picturesque beauty that,
it is said, is simply splendid in its concep-
ton.
Mr.. Young has painted his scenes from
photographs taken OF the unique places in
tho big city where the action of the play
is laid. The immense stage pictures rep.
resent the exterior and interior Of IL
typical New York tenement,
One scene sure to command he atlnira.

A Democratic Leader.

Mr.. William Salisbury, editor of
the Delawarean has discovered that
Democratic defeat at the election
last November, was owing to bad
leadership. The majority ofthe vo-
tiers in our State will certainly
agree with him in regard to the
leaders, as they are very tired of
following Senator Kenney, General
Cooper, Orator Handy and their as
sociates. Whether they will agree
with him that he is the man to lead
them to victory, is quite another
matter. Any one who estimates
himself so highly is generally look
ed upon as braggart, and in nine
cases out Of ten proves unequal to
the task he promises to accomplish.
When great power for leadership is
manifested the people will discover
the same without hny announce
inent Oh the part of the individual
in question. The editor of the Del
awarean should be more modest and
less ce lsorious if he wishes to OBJ
tain position tolead his partisans
out of the quagmire into which they
have fallen. A bath in waters more
pure than those of the river Jordan
will'be'required to wash away their
iniquities and fit them to administer
the affairs of our State and Nation
in manner worthy of the age in
which they live.

CONGRESSMAN L. l. Handy has
changed his mind about retiring
from politics and settle down and
practice law. The day after the
election he thought that he would
rest quiet on his oars for awhile.
At the reunion of the Democratic
Silver League Wednesday evening,
he was not going to retire from pol
itics. but would be found fighting in
the ranks of Democracy, in support
of the Chicago platform. He still
holds to his idol Bryan. He will
take up the practice of law and be-
tween his legal engagements will
expound the principles of free sill
YER doctrines. The Congressman
did not speak in very complimentary
terms of the climate of Cuba. BY
the tone of his speech one would be
led to believe that Mr.. Handy had
not been trained in the same school
of political economy as had the Hon
orable George Gray. There was
not one word of welcome in his adj
dress for Senator Gray : sale return
home from France, where he was one
Of the Peace Commissioners. Har-
monv is not one of the features OF the
Democratic party in our city and
State.

SAID a we'll known business man
yesterday: II have justreplaced my
insurance for 3 years more with a
firm Of Insuf ance agents in Phila-
delphia and have saved just 40 by
the change. ! intend to place ten
thousand dollars worth more Of in
surance with it, and thereby save
that much more money" The
speaker said that the insurance
agencies in our city have formed a
combination and for that reason fire
insurance is dearer in Wilmington
than in the city Of Philadelphia.
This should not be as Wilmington is
better protected from fire than Phil
adelphia, and as few fires occur in
our city as any other city of its size
in the United States, the agents
should be satisfied with a reasonable
profit and not want togct rich all at
once on the policies they write Oh

The 0ans-DaIy Fight

New Workers are still talking about the
Gans-paly fight. The New York Sun
said yesterday:
A Dig Policeman who stood near the
ring ut the end of the Gans-Daly fight, at
the Lenox Athletic Club on Tuesday
night, was heard to remark:
ltail to see where Cans is entitled to
the decision. DAILY did all the work"
There were others in the crowd who. bv
thelr expressions of dissatisfaction, EVIL
IDENTIFY had similar opinion. But the
old time ring followers, men who have
seen champions come and 60, agreed heart.
lily with the referees decision. A fighter
who adopts rushing at almost every stage
of glove contest and also lands effect
i've blows enough to make his opp nent
sprint to the defensive generally earns a
victory. But this cannot in its entirely,
be said Of DAILY. The latter did u lot of
rushing. it Is true, and swung enough
dangerous blows to knock au ordinary
mans head off, but he could not land on
ough of them to make Cans vince. On
the other hand, the Baltimorean showed
not only a splendid defence but no was as
quick us tightening to take advantage of
opportunities. AS he blocked off swinging
blows with his hands and arms and avoided
DAILY with marvellous leg work, no also
whipped clean sharp blows that were cas-
lily seen by those close TO the ropes. The
effectiveness of these blows was clearly
demonstrated by the condition Of Daly's
face when tho battle ended. Therefore
on blows landed and because of his good
generalship, Cans won fairly. There are
many patrons of fights who are either car.
ried away by prejudice or do not know the
fine points Of the g,sme. These indlvid.
uals are also influenced perhaps, by a
fighters color. AS one of them put it
yesterday:
Cans is clever fighter but I hate to
see negro beat white man"
This sentiment cropped out during the
fight whenever DAILY showed to an auvan-
tage, for there were wild cheers. But
these were quickly choaked off the MON.
ont Cans retaiated with good blows. In
clevernes5 especially on the defensive,
Cans Is thought to be the best man in the
light weight elias, just now. But he Is
not hard puucher, like Spike Sullivan,
Kid Lavigne, Hawkins and others. To q
finish he might surprise the world, for he
is deliberate, takes fow chances until the
proper time arrives, and is always in SUI
perb condition.
