country depends on their adoption
or rejection by Congress and hence
in the municipal elections, the sue
cess of party candidates upholding
or respecting any particular policy,
is desirable.
MoNTYLoo A. COLE, the Canadian
who was studying dentistry at the
University of Pennsylvania and
came to this city on visit with
murder in his heart, which he put
into execution by striking William
A. Montague on the head with a
base ball bat and killing him, is
now in Jail awaiting his trial. His
excuse, or that Of his attorneys will
be that he was drunk when he did
the deed. 1t is the law that drunk
enness is 10 excuse for crime. Here
is the career Of bright young man
who was sent to boarding school
with the brightest prospects in life,
ruined. He will now have to sta nd
trial for the heinous crime of MUIR
der, for which his lite may have to
pay the penalty. "The wages of
sin is DEATH" and this is shown by
the unhappy termination OF this
young mans career. BY his &C
tons he has brought his parents
name to disgrace. Is this what we
raise our children for?
If THE members of the Union
party suppose they can elect ma
jority of members to the Legisla-
ture without the aid of the Regulars
they will find they have counted
without their host. The same may
be said Of the Regulars; without the
aid of the Unionists, they will not
elect single man to the Legisla-
lure. By the division Of the party,
the Democrats alone will be the
gamers and this playing into their
hands does not indicate common
political sense. ltwould be great
deal better to have one Senator be-
longing to the Regulars and another
belonging to the Unlonists, than to
have two Democrats. The. voters
are sick and tired of this contention
and if it is to continue, no one can
predict how large-er how small the
poll of votes may become.
THERE are several more young
men in this city. Judging from their
actions, that need to be sent over to
New Castle Jail. There are numer-
GUS bawdy houses that should be
broken up and their inmates arrest
ed and fined. They arerun in such
a shameless manner that they are
disgrace to any civilized community;
they sell liquor to boys IS years of
age and start them on the road to
ruin and destruction. They should
be dug out, root and branch.
THE Peace Jubilee that is bein"
held IN Washington, D. G, is re-
ported as fiat failure. The man
agemcnt is poor and very inefficient
and was so disgusting to the Della
ware boys who took part in the mill
tary parade on Tuesday, that they
returned home last evening. 1t
could no more be compared to the
Philadelphia Peace Jubilee than
the Schuyllllll water can be COM
pared to our Brandywine supply.
A GREAT many people are begin
nIng to think the Morse ship yard
will not materialize but is only
newspaper talk. The rumored To-
cation of the plant has struck near
ly every city on the Delaware river,
this city being no exception. We
have the authority of Mr.. Morse
that the plant has not as yet been
located, While there's lie there's
hope.
THE Street and Sewer Commits
sloners should be treated with more
courtesy by the Water Commission
ers. In fact they are the custodi-
ans OF the streets and should COM
pei the Water Department to take
out a permit before that department
tears up the streets. There is no
reason why the departments should
not get along amicably, and the
best interests of all served.
The lecture OF Father Chadwick.
Chaplain of the III fated Maine,
which was to have been given un-
der the auspices of the knights of
Columbus, last evening, in the Grand
Opera House, did not come off. The
musical part of the program was
much enjoyed by the large audience.
No reason was given why the Rev.
Chadwick failed to appear.
lr is good news that the Airing
ton Cotton Mills. which have been
idle for the past two years, will in
a few weeks. start up and give en-
ployment to some two hundred or
more hands. This will help the
property in the Ninth ward, beside
giving work to many persons who
have been idle since the mills closed.
IT WAS reported on the streets
yesterday that William B. Clerk,
the Union Republican nominee tor
Mayor, had withdrawn. Mr. Clerk
said all such reports were untrue
and that he was in the field to stay
until the votes are counted June Sd.
He has no idea of withdrawing and
says his chances are as good as
any of the other candidates.
EVERYTHING strikes Addcks.
Even the lightning had whack at
his grist mills at Carrcroft yester-
day afternoon and completely de-
