THE mothers Of Wilmington demand
on the Board of Educa-
tion. The fitness Of women as public
educators is demonstrated in other
cities and states every day. This city
contains just as many bright and intel
lectual women as any other city in the
Union. Put women on the Board of Pub
lie Education.
"FAcrs are facts" and are stubborn
things to controvert, as McKinley's
whitewashing war commission, with the
"artful dodger" at its head, will learn
very speedily. They bob up on every
hand to confound all attempts to prove
that wisdom and efficient direction
marked the conduct of the war by Alger's
War Department.-Every Erening.
"Facts will not down." So says Samuel
Bancroft in Erery' Euening.
This is far from Mr.. Bancroft's con-
dition. He has never experienced any
difficulty in keeping the facts down, but
is having, and has had, a great wealth OF
trouble in bringing the facts up.
This gentleman and journalist made
specific charges against the Levy Court
of New Castle county. He has never
produced one iota of proof that his
charges were correct.
He has not brought forth one fact to
substantiate his charges.
The spectacle of Samuel Bancroft as
serting that facts will not down is highly
ludicrous.
Every Evenings policy has always been
to suppress the facts. Erery Evening
never prints the facts. The subscribers
of that paper are robbed every time they
pay their penny for it.
Samuel Bancroft's motto is "Facts will
not come up" but never Facts will not
down."
AFTER trying for nearl y two years to
have the ballot boxes opened in Kent
county and the vote reconnted, the
courts were at last compelled to accede
to the request of the attorneys who rep

vention would never stand, as five men
sat in that body representing Kent county
who had no legal right to sit in it. The
recount of the ballots shows what the
Republicans of Kent county have all
along contended, that they were counted
out. But the election machinery being
in the hands of the Democrats, it is
impossible for the Republicans to
get any redress whatever; but the
day of retribution has at last dawned
and if the fact does not do any more
than let the people know what dishonest
methods have been employed for years
to cheat the Republicans Of Kent county
out of their victories at the polls, they
have their eyes fully opened at thu
time. Every Democratic Inspector O.

such frauds, just so long will they be en-

when they can, by manipulating tn,
