THosE ARTFuL nonGERs.

When brokers come TO Wilmington
and bid for our municipal bonds it Is
presumed that they know what they
are about. and that they have the
money to pay for them. White & Co.,
Of New York, seem to be, however, an
exception. They have apparently laid
down on a loan Of $4,000, and the
worst of it is that they are so ashamed
OF their act that they are averse to
meeting the city officials face to face
and even talking the matter over with
them. Their course is dishonest, and
the city must bring them to book. OF
suffer evil consequence in the future
This is a matter of business, and White
& Co. should not be permitted to turn
it into a game of hide-and-seek.
City Treasurer Hamann and City So.
licitor Conrad, two representative citi-
zens clothed with the powers of the
municipality, went over TO New Yorl
to interview White & Co. and aseer
tain why they had failed to meet theil
obligation They were put of and pu
of, until finally they had to come hom'
without seeing the members of the
firm. What sort Of conduct is this foi
a reputable brokerage firm TO pursue
What sort Of treatment is it to accor,
TO respectable representatives Of ;
city?
An example should be made Of tn
firm to the end that it and all other
may be convinced that bidding for vii
mington bonds is a business matter
and that the obligation entered int
must be met on both sides.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
A pEADLoCK PHOPHEsIEp.

To the Editor Of the Evening Journal.
Sir: I see from the proceedings of
the Levy Court OF Kent county, whereI
they have decided to give the company
the right of way to build a trolley line
to run through Kent county with the
privilege OF running through the town
of Dover and other towns wherever the
road may run, and, also, with the pub
lie roads. / have no hesitation in say
ing that the whole project will end in
a deadlock" In the first place, the
people Of this state have all the facili-
ties and conveniences of railroad and
water navigation from every direction,
and where it has proved, at the most
available points. Now certain individ-
uals are barking the people on, so they
may become dissatisfied with the rates
on freight, and also on passenger fare,
on the Delaware railroad. In short,
the people will be deprived of going TO
town and from riding the public roads.

Take my word for It, you will have a
Jumbo elephant upon your hands 10

heed and save the people from a mis-
taken and Improbable project.
| will go further still in opposing the
building Of the road where IL Is now
contemplated to run through our
towns and with the public roads. You
say we must have competition, and
such competition as to reduce the rate.

good sense of the people OF this stat,
as to whether they need such a trolle,
line as they have now under contem
plation. Il is very plain for the peo
pie TO understand that after more thai
forty years the Delaware road ha
/ given satisfaction to those who hav
patronized the road by freighting thei
produce TO the Northern cities, such a
wheat, corn, peaches and all kinds q
fruit, where the shippers could find
good market and ready sale. Indeed
the Delaware railroad has made tn
state almost a new country. and ha
opened developments for investment
Tor the people of Delaware in ever
manner OF Improvements.

sylvania Company about $3.50 o'clock
this morning, and Immediately the lat
ter railroad company made the two sec
tions into one train.
While coming through the Gray's
Ferry yard a draw bar broke, parting
the train and derailing several cars
containing cages of lions and delaying
traffic The forward end of the train
proceeded to this city, while the rear

II is the duty Of the Democratic
party to win, If It may do so without
abandoning it's principles But the
highest duty of Democracy is to pre-
serve its integrity. to hold aloft, to ex-
plot and defend the great principles OF
the party and vigorously to fight all
antagonists. The Democratic party
NAV be in the minority and yet accom-
plish a great work. If RepuDlicanlsm
and Populism were not held in check
by the Democratic party under one
name or another, this government
would soon drift far away from the
principles upon which it was founded.
The Populists, II unrestrained,
would lead the country into Socialism;
the Republicans, If unrestrained, would
lead It into monarchy II is the Demo-
cratic party, and that party only,which
takes its stand and says to Populism
on the one hand, and to Republicanism
on the other; Thus far and no farther.
The Democratic party has been more
often than otherwise q minority party,
and vet who shall say that it has not
performed a great mission In this gov
ernment? Nor is its mission as a MI
nority party by any means ended. If
the two wings of the Democratic party
should come together in 1900 and a re-
united Democracy declare for the old
time JeffersoNAan principles by which
Il had stood until 1896. the defeat OF
that party by the Republicans would
be a misfortune. But If the party torn
by factions should make the fght OF
1896 over again and go down in defeat
that defeat would be a disaster because
Il would mean the everlasting disrup-
ton of the Democratic party.-Rich-

THERE WILL BE TWO GREAT
PERFORMANCES THIS AFTER

Wallace's circus arrived in town to-
day and the small boy is in a state of
mingled bliss and regret-bliss because
the show is in town, and regret because
be has to be in school and will not be
able to take 1t in in its entirety. How
ever, the ubiquitous youngster got up
early and had the satisfaction of seeing
the circus unloaded, and followed the
heavy wagons out to Lancaster avenue
near Union street, where the perform
ance will take place.
The show is a new one in Whining
ton, but the newspapers of other cities
are unanimous in declaring it to be
first-class in every particular. In the
big tent will be seen the finest horses
of any show on earth. There will be
1000 special features, one hundred
phenomenal acts, twenty-five clowns
twenty hurricane races. six bands. II
the menagerie will be seen fifty opeI
cages, droves Of camels, fifteen oper
dens and herd OF elephants. Gathered
here will be found animals and birds
from every section Of the globe, anC
from every cline.
Other features are the nine Nelson's
the seven Stirks, the ten Delamends
Mile. Nora de French, the Earl and Vor

with even one of these would conside
itself great enough, but Wallace ha

LET THE TROLLEYs COME.

In another column We print letter
from Dover. The writer enters the
trolley road controversy on the broad
general principle that a trolley road isl
not needed, and that the Delaware rail-
road is all-sufficient to supply the
transportation needs Of the county. He
also goes to the extent Of declaring
that the cars will frighten horses, and
that the project will be Improbable to
those who engage in It.
We think that he is in error in every
respect. Lower New Castle, Kent and
Sussex counties all need the trolley.
The more lines they can get the better
OF they viii be. We speak from ex-
perience. There is not a Whining
tonian who would go back to the old
horse car and livery team period. The
constant cry is for extension of the
lines. SO II will be in the lower part OF
the state. Once they get the trolley
they will wonder how they ever did
without II. AS regards the horses
they will become educated to the troll.
ley as quickly as the people. Runaways
of that sort arecomparatively unknown
here, where we have many miles Of
line in operation, and a hundred horses
to every one in a territory OF similar
scope in Kent or Sussex. AS for the
promoters Of the trolley projects le
them look out for themselves. If the,
are willing to risk their money 1t II
useless for outsiders to lie awake o
nights in dire apprehension Of financia
failure.
Get all the trolleys possible lie
them radiate in all directions. Max
them as long as possible. Bring tn
people of the several sections in cheal
and close touch, and a new era will
dawn for those who now depend ol
horses and footpaths for getting fror
place to place. Time is money, an
trolleys save time We hope to see tn
time when It will be possible to reac'
every town and hamlet and many G
the farmhouses, by means Of the trol
ley.
In this emergency, when two rivi
companies are striving to obtain III
use Of the streets Of Dover, the propC
course TO pursue is to grant the frar
chise to the company which gives tn
best assurance Of immediate constru'
tion and satisfactory operation. Th'
is the publics sole concern.
