II has been proven that the city
could erect its own electric light
plant for $loO.o0O. 1t could raise
the money by issuing bonds at 81
per cent and pay for the plant in
two years out of the money now
paid to the Wilmington City Electric
Light Plant 1t could operate its
plant by water power, erecting the
buildings on the Brandywinc near
the water pumping station. Such a
plant owned by the city would bring
in sufficient revenue TO help reduce
the presnt tax rate and help attract
outsiders attention TO the may
natural advantages Wilmington can
offer for other industrial plants to
locate in our city. The city of vii.
mington is the largest customer the
Wilmington City Electric Light Com
pany has and the company has put
its business on good pay ing basis
Then again it has been sold to a
syndicate who control the electric
lighting in several larger cities

DAILY, EXCEPT SUNDAYS.
MONDAY. FEBRUARY 8. 1899.

PoL1TIcs makes queer bed fellows
and the actions of politicians cause
the people to talk. No honest man
need fear an honest criticism of his
actions. The charge of Doodle be-
ing used to influence voters has been
dropped for some time in Delaware
and the proceedings of the Legisla-
ture are set forth daily in the news
papers. The Legislature has now
been in session since January Sd
last and the balloting commenced
on Monday, the 10th and has been
continued every day since for the
election Of United States Senator.
But, Notwithstanding the efforts of
the majority members, there has as
yet been no election. There is yet
hope that a Republican United
States Senator will be elected before
the Legislature adjourns.
Predictions were made last week
that the deadlock would be broken
the coming week. 1t may be, but
we hardly look for it. The Repub-
lican members are just as set in
their ways and keep on voting pref
ty nearly as they did when the first
vote was taken in joint session for
Senator George Gray's successor.
The failure to elect Republican
United States Senator will do meal
culable injury to the future success
of the Republican party. 1t there
fore behooves the Republican men,
bers to settle the question at as
early a day as possible. The peo-
pie want Senator elected and they
expect their representatives to heed
their request. These Senatorial
deadlocks are to be deplored and
show that the people should elect
the Senator by popular vote and
leave the Legislature to pass the
laws for the people.

THE present outlook for business
In the numerous industries in the
city. is good. There is a small
boom in the shipping industry and
the Harlan u Hollingsworth Conn
pany and the Pusey & Jones Com
pany have already enough work on
hand to keep them employed until
next winter. The morocco business
is again looking up and promises
to be even better than last year.
The fibre works are all busy and
the business must be paying one,
when one Of the companies can pay
10 per cent on their capital stock at
the present time. Industries in our
city are not dead, if they have been
doing practically nothing nthc last
four years. The Mckinley boom is
at last commencing to reach Will

The annual report of the School

1t shows that IIo7 teachers were en-
ployed 73o of whom were white and
36S colored, the total amount of mon
ey disbursed being S764, ,627.II OF
which amount the colored teachers
receive about $4,000 an average OF
S24, 900 per month. OF these the board
has the following to say:
We do not believe that a more COM
petent, faithful, or laborious class OF
public servants can be found. Their
days are longer, their labor more ex-
hausting of nervous force, their work
exactlng and important, their respon-
slbliItleS greater. and their pay less
than that of any other class of public
officers of this District. We fear that
the Importance of their work is imper.
fectly appreciated.
