The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1899-04-10

looked for about April 9th, although
on April 10th and 18th in 1894, there
fell IL inches of snow, the greatest
ever recorded for "A hours in April.
There are on the average nine clear
days, ten partly cloudy days, and
eleven cloudy days in April The
prevailing wind is from the bound
less northwest, and Old Borca
best record is fifty miles an hour

MARCoNI has succeeded in estab-
fishing Geographic communication
across the English channel without
wires. A successful test of the new
system has been made. A message
Of 100 words was flashed from a
pole IN France to another in Eng
land, % miles away.
The Morse code was used, the
same as in use on ordinary telegraph
lines. Having accomplished this
much Marconl now talks of turning
his attention to the Atlantic ocean.
He believes that by erecting towers
1000 feet in height he can telegraph
without wires from America to lIu-
rope as easily as hedid from France
to England. If he can accomplish
this, and in the light OF his work to
date, it is not any more improbable
than the telephone was lie will put
the world closely in touch with it,
self. Submarine cables are cXpen-
sive and while they reach to many
corners of the earth. they arc not
carried everywhere within civiliZa-
ton for the good reason that they
would not pay.
IT is reported that large portion
Of the army in the Philippines con-
tinue TO use the Springfield rifles
instead of the Craig gorgsen> which
carry ball from 400 to 500 yards
further, and with which many Of
the Filipenos are armed. If this be
true, the oversight or neglect or the
part of the War Department is Just
as censurable as the furnishing of
sinking beef for rations. The mat
ter should be looked into at once.
TO send men into battle with a gun
inferior to that of the enemy is al
most as inexcusnble as the commit
ment OF murder. The beef blunder
will hardly be repeated and the
authorities should turn their atten-
ton to remedying present abuses
instead of quarreling over those
that belong to the dead past.
SAID 4 well known Republican
voter, "if the Republican party is
fool enough to put two ticket, in the
field at the coming city election in
June, will not take the trouble to
vote and there are dozens more like
me. As Republican voters who pay
our own taxes and take the trouble
to vote, for trouble it is. the game is
not worth the cycrtiun Two sets
OF Republican candidates means
Democratic officials. So let it be.
if the so-callcd leaders are satisfied
why should not be. Who never re-
ceived anything from my party and
therefore have nothing TO lose except
that am a Republican from prin-
ciple and not for Office.
DELAWARE is beginning tn reap

it is reported chat a coffin trust
