TWO NEGROES ATaE NOT IN F'A-
vCR CF THE TROLLEY SYSTEM
IN WILMINGTON.

ored men,were arraigned on a charge of
the larceny of copper wire, property
Of the Wilmington City Electric Rail-
way Company on the Gordon Heights
branch. The wire is used in making
connections along the rails, by which
means a circuit lis maintained.
William and John saw an opportu-
nifty, as they Thought, to make a few
pennies, and consequently took about
eighteen pounds Of the wire, valued at
twenty-five cents a pound. From the
appearance OF the sacks in which Il
was enveloped when produced in court
lo-udg the utEIDtS lldu tNlutuuag Dttu
looking for chickens, but concluded
that a little wire pulling" would
help them along. Judge Cochran con-
Guided that ais long as this was their
first offense, he would hold them i'm
$500 bail to appear before the upper
court and explain their objections to
the tro,ely system.
For being drunk, Margaret Clark
whom Judge Cochran has seen before
was asked to pay SO and costs. Being
unable to do so, she will revisit New
Castle jail
James Mclaughlin was also fined 50
for drunkenness; James Matthews,
drunk, was recommftted, and Charles
Bonner was let off with the costs for
the same offense.
WiI1am Randall was dismissed on a
charge Of assault and battery but
James Carro,, who touched" people
for a few pennies, was fined 81 and
costs on a charge of vagrancy.

The Appeal to the Powers

Aguinaldo's appeal to the powers will fall
on deaf ears. Not one of the powers will
respond to 1T. All are familiar with his
status There is probably not one of them
but would advise him, were it to speak at
all, to make his submission promptly and
completely to the authority of the United
States He either knows this and has
issued the appeal as move in his game of
bluff, or else the paper is but another evil
dence of how completely at sea he is as to
the whole situation.
strangely enough, it is only here in the
United States that the document will re-
eeive any attention at all. 1t will make a
profound impression on the Atkinsonians.
They will accept it. at its Filipino face
value and find in it additional proof of
the perfdy of this government. The ORR
entail Washington is assured of their sym-
patny and approval in every step he takes
He both writes and fights like patriot in
their eyes, and the more energeticaIly he
does both against the United States the
better they like him
But each step he takes deepens their re-
sponsibility in the matter of his resistance
They are his sole reliance. He accepts
them as allies, They are engaged in a
common cause. He is to do his utmost in
front, while they are busy in the rear
He will attend to the question of bullets
while they attend to the question of ballots
1t is a strange combination, and each side
mlsconcetves the power of the other The
Atkinsonian idea of the Filipinos is con-
radlcted by all reliable information about
them They are neither as advanced nor
as deserving as their American allies in
sist. They are initiative and capable within
certain limits, but nobody acquainted with
them accredtts them with capacity for self
government. On the contrary the with
drawal of the United States from the archi-
pelaso would be the signal. through fear
of anarchy, of the assembling at Manila of
heavy foreign ornaments
Aguinaldo, We all know, places a most
exaggerated valuation on his friend Atkin-
son The Bostonian is man OF parts, but
he exercises no power in politics He has
but small following in this business; but
In the excited imagination of the Filipinos
he and his squad are multiplied into host
welding far-reaching influence

Labor and Politics.

The effort to form a political party on
the basis of labor troubles and demands
which Is now in progress in New York. will
come to nothing. Labor is not to be de-
luded or benefited in any such way. Its
interests cannot be separated from the
general interests. Labor is vitality con-
cerned in the money question, the tariff
question, and in the question of enlarged
markets for American productions. Its
ballots must be thrown so as to affect
those questions or labor loses. The triumph
of cheap money would crush labor first of
all. And if We do not keep UP with the
procession in the matter of markets, how
is labor to employ itself? The world is
moving. and the United States must move
with it. Obviously, therefore, when it
comes to politics, to national control and
policies. labor has very much more to con-
slider than the length of days work and
scales of wages, important as they are
The farmers have learned this lesson.
The populist party in It's inception was a
protest against low prices for farm prod
ucts. and an expressed determination to
force them up by legislation. Farmers
were led to believe that by forming a po-
hticai party they could make themselves

take out his naturalization papers, but hold
on to his foreign allegiance? That If he
becomes a citizen and should perish at the
hands of a mob his death will go unavenged
by the law and his family go unprovided
for, whereas If he shelters under foreign
flag and then pershes, his destitute family
will get some thing and the full federal au-
thority be invoked against his murderers?
The Star makes no protest against these
appropriations for the families of aliens
who are murdered by mobs. The sums are
small when the circumstances are consid-
erred. They work good purpose for the
innocent and the needy, but they do nothing
to wipe out the stain upon the country in
ftcted by lawless~ men. Mobs strike at the
very root Of our Political existence. Their
chief injury Is to the citizen. and yet when
a citizen becomes in his ewn person vic
tim of the mob's fury his family has no
redress. Congress would not even consider
proposition to provide for the helpless
widow and o1phans. As matter of fact, it
has no power to do so.
First of all. the mob spirit should be put
down. But If that cannot be done, let our
own people at least be put On a par with
the subjects of other nations.

Death From LOckjaw.

From the Philadelphia Medical Journal.
Death from lockjaw" figures with strik-
ing prominence in the mortality lists Of the
past few weeks. The numerous fatalities
from tetanus that have followed gunshot
wounds inflicted on the Fourth OF July By
Unwise celebrants who COMPOUNDED noise
with patriotism must impress the authori-
ties IN many cities with a sense of their re.
sponsibility in permitting. tacitly or other
wise, the needless discharge of firearms on
that day. These are avoidabe deaths. and
could nave been prevented by intelligent
administration of existing laws. and the
failure is due to the faithiessness of the
proper officials. Nor can any excuse be
offered for the injuries inflicted, for de-
struction of property by fire and the distress
and annoyance to which large numbers of
helpless members of the community were
subjected. as a direct result of the waste
full and senseless mode of observing the
great national holiday. Surely there must
be more rational ways of manifesting pa
triotisrn, and future Fourths of July should
be celebrated in a manner becoming the
dignity and intelligence of a civilized and
progressive nation.

The Salvation Army in Boston, practical
IN It's Christianity as the Salvation Army
mas always been, in work for the cause of
temperance, has established throughout the
city stands where ice-cold lemonade ard
buttermiik are sold. At first many cool
drinks were offered-iced tea coffee and so
on, but 1t was found that the public de-
manded only lemonade and buttermilk. and
these two only are served. Botn are the
very best OF their kind; the butternilk is
tresh and inviting; the lemonade is not of
the circus variety; and both drinks are sold
Tor 1 cent glass Well-dressed men and
women patronize these stands and they are

provide poor people with cheap and whole
some drink outside of the saloons Seven
stands have been established, and the num-
Der is to be doubled, they have proved so
popular. Unfortunately. the scheme has
not proved to be a paying one, and the
army has had to appeal to the temperance
public for temporary support. 1t is TO be
hoped SO deserving project will not suffer

masters Of the whole situation. They fell
into the trap. and demagogues right and
left coddled them to the utmost. The party
has all but disappeared 1t wrote no legls-
latfon on the national books. Such as 1t
wrote on the books of several states failed
of its object. The farmers found out that
their interests are bound up in the general
interests. and so, with wallets bullying with
hard cash, and with better understand
ing of things all round, they have dis
persed to their old affiliations again. Their
troubles were not political at ALL The
prices of their products were raised not
by the laws of man. but by those of ma
ture. Wheat and silver. far from being In
separately connected, have no connection.
