Mr. salisbury says Federal constitution
PROJECTS the Rights OF wilmington City
Railway Company.
Willard Salisbury, attorney for the
Wilmington City Railway Co., was
asked on Tuesday ii he had anything
to say about the action of the Street
and Sewer Directors. He said:
1T is "a most remarkable exhibition
OF juggling with important business
interests in this city.
1.-The attempt to authorize the Will
miEgton u Brandywine Springs railway
to build street railway line on sixth
street, is Of course, invalid, and While
there can to very extensive litigation
brought about by the changed position
eof the Street aud Sewer Department,
it will not heiE tho latest apparent
heneficiaries of that department.
~ suppose the directors might
change theii minds again and conclude
that the Wilmington Traction Co,
ought to have Sixth street, but hope
at least that they will not change
| their position again until l can get a
decision of the courts on my clients
rights, which will probably put an end
| finally TO the luvely conditions which
have prevailed IN street railway matters
here for some years. My clients look
| forward with absolute confidence u
the outcome OF the litigation into
which they will now be forced.
"Ihe Constitution of the United
States protects the contract right'
given to the Wilmington City Railwa,
Go. in its charter to build all stree
railways in this city and the courts ar

Virginia corpoi alton laws. He said
that companies incorporated In that
State wero not required 10 keep agents

pose of aseertaining whether the cor
porations chartered in that State were
complying with the law, testified chat
he found few instances in which
agents did not display tho signs of the
concerns represented by thom on the
outside walls of their Office building,
but Us a rule this requirement was com,
plied with. He also found that rs q

AMERICANS A GOLD MINE.

AMERICANS A GOLD MINE.
The natives have discovered a gold
mine in the newly arrived Americans.
There are no Tagalos among these ma
tives, so they tell you-they are all
Maccabebes. The two tribes, al
though not distinguishable in appear
ance have been hereditary foes for
centuries, and it was even deemed adj
visable at one time TO arm the Macca-
bebes and let the latter do our share
Of the fighting.
These natives. however, no matter
what their race, have made more
money by staying at home than they
ever saw before in their lives. Great
baskets full Of eggs, peanut and cocoa
nut candy, cakes and fruit are turned
into 'sdinero" each day by the fortu-
nate stay-at-homes. Ne American
can convince a native that his ffnan-
cial resources have reached a limit,
although the fact isapparent to every
body else.
Americans mucho dinero," has be-
come byword from constant use since
its recent coinage. Like all the rest
of the Yankee sojourners in foreign
lands we pay two prices for everything
we getand the native is not at all back
ward about adding third or fourth
price at the beginning. A neighbor
sent rather frayed shirt md towel
to the public laundry on the river
bank by one Of the .Washee, washee"
men who had been hunting the COM
pany streets all morning. After
pounding the two articles with stick
for ten minutes the native returned
and doubtless mistaking the neighbor
for Mr.. Rockefeller he asked him the
paltry sum of $3.50 for the job.
There was only one thing to do under
the circumstances and my neighbor
did that. Grabbing his rifle the long
suffering Americana made a wild
charge toward the enemy, but lost
shirt, towel and native by being I'M
able to swim.
The rainy season ipso facto, puts an
end to active campaigning by either
army for weeks to come. If any trou-
bic is to be recorded in the near future
on the north line it will be in the ma
ture of naval engagement.
