DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY.

Wilmington's Facilities tor Protecting Life
and Property TO be Exhibited on septem-
Der 9th.
Officials, policemen and firemen Of
SO or more cities Of the United States,
rs we'll as tine general public of Will
mington, will have an opportunity on
Wednesday, September 9th, to see the
Police and Fire Department of this
city on review. This was decided
upon several weeks ago as feature
of the convention OF the National Asso-
citation of Municipal Electricians, and
the arrangements have been under con-
sideration ever since.
While all of the fire companies have
not completed all of their plans the
arrangements of the Police Department
have assumed such shape as to give
the public some idea of what may be
expected. The police, naturally, are to
have the right of line. There will be
about 10 officers in the procession, all
except those who rnust remain at their
posts. Chief Dolan will be ia COM
mand and Capts. Chambers and Kane
will be his aids. In addition to
sergeants and patrolmen there will be
two mounted and two bicycle officers
and two patrol wagons fully manned.
In fact, the entire movable equipment
| of the department will be exhibited.
Each of the fire companies will turn
out with all of its apparatus manned
by uniformed men, and unless the
| present arrangements are changed the
Phoenix company will have o large
delegation of members on parade The
companies will most likely be assigned
| to positions according to their numbers
in Hthe department. Chief Sasse will
marshal the fremen and Assistants
Joyce and Purcell will be his aids.
| The line will form, in all probability,
at Fourth and French streets and
march on Fourth, French, Market,
King and Eleventh streets, Delaware
avenue and several other thorough
fares. starting between 3 and A O'Clock
in the afternoon.
The reviewing stand will be on the
Eleventh street side of the Court
House square, this location having
been selected as it will be shaded.
About LOCO chairs for officials of Viii.
mington and other cities, delegates tc
the electrical convention and Other
guests of the city will be placed or
the Court House green on the King
and Eleventh street sides, and will
afford an excellent opportunity to see
the procession. After marching III
Market street to Tenth the parade will
turn east into the latter thoroughfar,
to King street, up King to Eleventh,
passing the reviewing stand, and alons
Eleventh to Delaware avenue. Tho
procession will probably move west OF
Delaware avenue to the soldiers ant
sailors monument, where it viii
couptermarch and return to some
point in the heart of the city to be
dismissed.
Several bands of music will be il
line and the indications are that /,
Will be the most imposing parade seer
in Wilmington for some time, and, II
fact, the only one of its kind ever seer
here.

Standing By Monopoly.

An editorial in yesterdays New York
herald reveals another of the many
perplexing results of our war policy.
1t is the open and insolent support,
by our government of a telegraph
monopoly.
1t appears that the Western Union
Co. has the only cable line connecting
this country with the West Indies, ard
that the Commercial Gable Co. desires
to extend its lines there. But it has
been estopped. in an arbitrary manner
thus explained by the Herald:
And yet when the Commercial COM
pany proposed to lay its new cable the
Western Union invoked the govern
ment to perpetuate its monopoly, and
Secretary Alger ordered the army in
Cuba to prevent the landing Of the
cable. The Commercial company stands
ready to prove that the Western Union IS
claim to monopoly is based on fraud
aud is invalid. There is no war either
in this country or in Cuba, and the
courts are open TO the monopoly to
assert its claim. But we have the I'M
precedented, despofic and preposterous
spectacle Of the judiciary POWER being
set aside and the disputed pretensions
OF this odious monopoly sustained by
the bayonets of United States troops.
The. Commercial Gable Co. and the
| Postal Telegraph Gable Co. offer the
public the only relief from the exactions
and poor service of the monopoly, and
business men should urge President
Mckinley to withdraw the arbitrary
and nn-American order of Secretary
Alger by which the present unjustifi
able situation is maintained, to til,
serious injury of the American people
II would be interesting to know wha
excuse the agents of the administration
can offer for this hostility to a sole
business project. Have they any specia
interest in the Western Union mon
opoly?
No claim can be made that tn
hackers of the proposed rival line ar
merely a mushroom organization, de
signed to obtain a franchise for tn
purpose of speculation. The project o
new cable to Havana is backed b
the Commercial Cable Co, whicl
already has q complete cable line t
Europe. 1t is substantial concern
and in turn is backed by the Macke
millions and the money Of the owne
of the New York Herald.
President Mckinley should at ono
undo this impertinent work of the mi;
chievous Alger and permit the Com
mercial Co. to land its wires on Cuba
soil. If he does not, his attitude ma
unearth an administration scandal {
large proportions.

REGINA NTAL coLoRs.

They We're Borne by the Delaware Regi-
inent during tne War with spain--Ars
Now IN This CITY.
The regimental colors, comprising
the national and State flags, that were
borne by the First Delaware Regiment
of United States Volunteers, during
the war with Spain, which were turned
over to the government when tho regi-
ment was mustered out, have been
returned to this State and will be
kept in the Armory at Twelfth and
Orange Streets
The colors were new in 1893. when
they were taken, in April. to Middle-
town and remained with Gthe regiment
through its Camp Meade experience
and returned with it to this city, where
the muster out took place last fall.
The colors were received here yesterday
in good condition. As Col Andrew
G. Gray, judge advocate of the gov
ernor's staff, says, they are unframed
by moth, rust and Spaniards.

At Omaha, Nebraska, on Tuesday.
State conventions were held by the
Democrsts. Populists and Silver Re-
pubiicans. The result was fusion on
ticket headed by Ex-Governor Silas
a. Holcomb for Supreme Court Justice
and platform opening as follows:
"We, the Democrats of the State of
Nebraska, in convention assembled, in
dorse and emphasize each and every
plank of the national platform adopted
ut Chicago in 1896" Then followed
specific declaration in favor of the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of l6
to /, aud this remarkable dsliverance:
'tOur confidence in the principles set
forth in that platform has been in
creased, as these PRINCIPLES have been
vindicatsd by events, The gold stand
ard is less defensibe now than it was
| in 1896. -
This programme was the result of
the manipulation of Bryan himself,
who has wobbled again. A week or so
ago he was decidedly weak on the

it should be subordinated in the
future. Now he puts it to the front
again, and is said to have written the
Nebraska fusion platform.
But if the Democrats of Nebraska
choose to be led to defeat through a
fusion with crazy Popuists and bastard
Republicans, on platform advocating
population and financial dishonesty,
there is no law to prevent the suicidal
act. Nebraska is Republican State,
and the Democrats would probably be
defeated in any event, even upon an
honest Democratic platform. But de-
feat with honor is to be preferred to de-
feat with disgrace.
Fusion carried Nebraska in 1896 by a
plurality of II, 935 over the Republican
ticket, and in 1897 by plurality OF
10, 500, but last year it was defeated by
a plurality of 2,T2l and the Republi
cans obtained control Of the Legisla-
ture. From So 05 per cent of the total
vote in 1897, the fusion poll fell to
4a.77 per cent 10 1898. That it will
take still deeper plunge in 1885
cannot be doubted.
The fusion platform contains an ad,
mirable deliyerance upon the question
OF the war in the Philippines. protest.
ing that IL the Cuhans ARE and Of
right ought to be free, the same can be
said of the Filipinos, and this natior
would suffer ne humiliation in acknowl

But blind adherence to the dIshones

Work Commenced on Government Com
tracts IN the Mispillion and rurderkill
Rivers.
Benjamin T. Collins of Milford com.
menced work yesterday on the dikes at
mouth of the Mispillion River and
they will be built as rapidly as pos

Murderkill River from Frederick to it's
mouth, for which 5000 has been
appropriated. Both of these contracts
were recently awarded by United
States Engineer Smith. Engineer
Charles NJ. Bird of this city will
inspect the work IN the Murderkill
River and Engineer John r. Beckett
of Baltimore will look after the work
in the Misrillion.
Gen. Smith has been informed that
the engineers at Washington have APP
proved the plans for the bridge across
the Braudywine at Seventh street and
he has requested the Levy Court to
inform him when work is to be COM
meneed, so that government inspector
may be on hand to look after the work.

The European war cloud dsrgens,
and an armed conflict between Great
Britain and the Transvaal Republic
aeems imminent. 1t will be matter
OF regret IL the hostile exchanges be-
tween the two countries proceed to
such an extreme, but both parties to
the controversy are in anything but an
amiable frame OF mind, and 1t will not
require much further irritation, on one
side or the other, to provoke actual
hostilities.
Such an outcome would be regret
table, as while it could have but one
ending-tbe success of the British
arms-it would be accompanied by
fearful loss of life and destruction Of
property. The Beers are stubborn
fighters and good marksmen, but they
would have to succumb in the.end to
Britain's overwhelming force.
But. even if war is avoided, it is
inevitable that the Dutch Republic
will have to relax the severity Of its
attitude towards all residents of tho
country who are not citizens
landers, they are called which has
been the chief cause Of the hostile con-
ferences between the two countries. 1t
is fact that these people have been
harshly treated, soIely taxed, denied
the benefits of decent government, and
practically prohibited from becoming
citizens and thus using the franchise
as means of remedying their
grievances. This attitude is not in
accord with the principles Of a Re
! publican form of government, such as
is claimed for the Transvaal. 1t is as
homogeneous and as unjust as the out
rageous war the government of the
United States IS now prosecuting in
the Philippines.
The news from London is that
President Kruger Of the Transyaa
Republic has refused to submit to tbs
demand Of Joseph Chamberlain for tbs
appointment of court of inquiry. hs
may have done so automatically OIL
hedgingly, but that his answer is re
garded by the British government a.
tantamount to positive refusal is nov
an established fact.
The Colonial Office is noncommittal
but there are other evidences which
amply justify the preceding statements
The report that President Kruger ha
proposed new terms is somewhat veri
fed by the guarded comment of thu
Colonial officials and the irritabilit.
displayed by them. Thre is not tn
slightest doubt that they expect war
and believe that it is now the only wa.
to settle the controversy.
J British officials would far rattle
have had a curt, defiant answer thai
the temrorizing reply which the Doe
! President has doubtless sent. Wit
, the former Great Britain would hav
} plain grounds for quick beginnin
J of hostlities. Under the circumstance
J which it is believed now exist aggres
sive action needs considerable eS
! PLANTATION to justify it in the eyes c
: the world and the English minorit
, which still declares that war would

However, If Mr.. Chamberlain ha
