BY the impeachlng OF any one of
the Police Commls and his
removal by City Council, Judge
Spruance will most certainly APP
point his successor. And that sue
cessor would most certainly be a
Republican, So there is no way
by which the Commission can hope
to be made Democratic for one year
yet and then only by the Democrats
electing a majority of the members
of the next Legislature and passing
new city charter or abollshing the
Police Commission, The law ere
ating the Board gives it absolute
control over the appointment and
discharge of the police officers Of
the city, with authority to make all
necessary rules and regulations for
the government of the police force.
The force can only be Increased by
consent OF Council. This should
not be; the consent of the Legisla-
ture should be necessary, as they
have seen fit to govern Wilmington
from Dover.

The Wilmington Bicycle Club is
a credit to our city. 1t has shown
its progressive spirit in purchasing
a plot of ground on Washington
street above Ninth, upon which the
club will break ground in Septem-
Der to erect a commodious club
house. The plans and specifca-
tons have been furnished by J. Os-
car Beetle and present a fine ap-
pearance. The club has over two
hundred members and the present
quarters are too small for the in
creased membership, which was an
incentive to move into larger and
more commodious ones, and more IN
keeping with the demands of the
members. When finished, outside
of the New Century Club, it will be
the finest appointed club house in
Delaware. Every convenience per-
tanning to club life will be contained
within it's walls. The club has been
unusually successful ever since its
formation and never was IN more
flourishing condition, financially.
than it is to-day. 1t is composed of
we'll known lovers of the wheel and
is a social club in every sense of the
word. May they live long and pros
per and have many house warm

Miss Fuller made her debut three
years ago and was one of the bellies of
the national capital. The bridegroom

inent Boston family and graduated
from Harvard in 1892.
Many distinguished people were
present. including all the members OF
the supreme court, which adjourned in
order that justices might thus honor
the daughter of the chief justice. 4
large reception at the Fuller residence
followed the ceremony.

claims adjoining the Old Telegraph

group.
The fourth and. most important deed
which Attorney William NJ. Bradley
left with the county recorder last even
ing for filing and recording, is that IN
which Clarence A. Hight conveys to the
United States Mining company all the
property described in the three forego-
ing Instruments for 81 and other val
liable considerations in lawful money OF
the United States" but inasmuch as
this deed has affixed to it $3.50 worth
of revenue stamps, it is clear that the
consolidated properties are turned over
TO the company upon a valuation OF
IS, 100000.
The consummation of this third or
fourth large transaction in mining
properties in BinghamS gold and copper
zone, whereby New England and Brit
jsh companies of ample financial
strength have become the purchasers,
is another demonstration that Utan
mining resources are now objects of in
creasing interest among the large in
vestors and mine developers of the
world. 1t is authoritatiyely stated that
negotiations are pending for the sale Oh
other properties of known merit IN
Bingham, and any day may bring forth
some more good news for the people CT
Utah IN this line.
The Old Telegraph and Old Jordan
are among lHe VERY olueol AlilliHS pup
erties'in Utah, having been worked oyer
third of a century. Their deepest
workings do not exceed 400 or 500 feet,
and bonanza-like developments are eX-
pected when the United States COM
/ nany enters upon its vigorous campaign
of exploration, ore extraction and re-
duction. Before the gold and copper
deposits in these properties were en-
countered a short time ago, the old
mines had to their credit a record of
production of from $40, 600 to $50, 9OO,-
! 600 in silver-lead ores, all of which went
to the smelters for reduction.

QUARANTINE OF UTAH SHEEP
GOVERNOR sTEUNENBERG Is
SUES PROCLAMATION.
Will Not Allow Them to Come Into
the State From Certain Districts
For the Period of Sixty Days.
fsnecial to the Herald,

Boise, Ida, April Ex-Governor Steunen-
berg has issued a sheep quarantine proc
lamation against sheep from Utah and
Nevada. The proclamation says:
Whereas, have received statements
from reliable woolgrowers and stock
raisers of Idaho, said statements being
supplemented by affidavits of reputable
persons, all to the effect that the disease
known as scab, or scabbieS, is epidemic
among sheep in certain localities or dis
dricts, VIZ: In the county of Cache, state
of Utah; the county of Box Elder, in the
state of Utah, and the county of Elko, in
the state of Nevada; and
Whereas, it is known that sheep from
said districts are annually moved, driven
or imported into >the state of Idaho, and,
if so moved would thereby spread infec-
ton and disease OF the ranges and among
the sheep of this SS2te, which act would
result in great disaster. Now.
Therefore, l, Frank Steunenberg, gov
ernOr of the state of Idaho, by virtue of
authority. in me vested, and after due
consultation with the state sheep in
spector, do hereby prohibit the importa-
ton, driving or moving into the state of
Idaho of all sheep now being held. herded
or ranged within said infected districts,
viz: The county of Cache, in the state
of Utah; the county of Box Elder. in the
state of Utah, and the county of Elko, in
the state of Nevada, or which may here
after be held, herded or ranged within
said infected districts. for a period of
sixty days from and after the date of this
proclamation. After the termination of
said sixty days, sheep can be moved into
this state only upon the compliance with
all laws of the state of Idaho regarding
the inspection and dipping of sheep.

PARTY DOORS ALWAYS Open
BRYAN SAYS REcREANT DEMO
Gratis LAY RETURN.
Unwelcome Ones Are Those Who De-
serted and Still Claim to Be Better
Democrats Than Those Who Stood.

Milwaukee, Wis, April 1Z.-Ihe JUL
nal prints the following:
Editor Milwaukee Journal: Dear SIR
1 am just in receipt of your favor OF
March %, in which you say:
ut is asserted here that many Demo-
Gratis who voted for Mckinley in 1Sg6
feel that they have been trified with
by the Republicans, and are likely To
vote the Democratic ticket again at
the next presidential campaign, though
they may mot be in full accord with
the platform and ask:
What. in your opinion, would be the
wise course to pursue in regard TO lnsse
people?s In what way may their re-
utilization with the party be best faclll-
| tated?''
In reply,>I would say that 1 have no
authority to speak for the Democratic
party. and in What 1 say, express my
own opinion. l am satisfied that you
are correct in saying that many OF the
Democrats who voted for Mckinley are
disappointed with the Republican adj
ministration, and viii vote the Demo
cratic ticket in the future. l think tnat
| the same statement could be made IN
regard to many of those who voted lhe
| Palmer and Buckner ticket.
! The doors of the party are always
open to receive new additions, whether
| they be new converts or former mem
bers of the party. To err is human,
| and those who erred in 1896 have only
| to admit it and subscribe to the party
creed in order to be taken back INTO
the party. They may dissent from some
portions of the platform as some dld IN
| 1896, and yet subscribe to the platform
as a whole.
| 1 have found among the Democrats
no hostility toward those who wish To
return, provided they recognize that the
| Democratic party now has platform
| that is satisfactory to the Democrats
! A Democrat who comes back merely for
the purpose of fighting again the re
| affirmation of the Chicago platform Will
not find the party congenial. Those
VINO recognized that they erred in 1896
are not likely to insist upon prominence
! in the parity management until they
have time to bring forth works meet
! for repentance. If they do aspire 10
prominence they will have. to convince
their associates of. the sincerity of their
purpose to aid the party in its hght
against plutocracy.
The only unwelcome guests are those
who deserted in 1886 and still claim TO
be better Democrats than those Who
remained with the party and who de-
mand the surrender of the Chicago
platform as the price of their return.
| Only those who are willing to stand
upon the last platform ought to have
| a part in the writing of the next plat
form. Yours truly,
WILLIAM ]. BRYAN.

DO NOT FEAR BANDITS.
Americans In Havana Attach Little
Importance to Them.

Havana, April 12.-The military adj

cidents reported. The best of the Gu
ban soldiers are already enrolling in

thus be formed and used largely to
