From letter to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Democratic members OF the City
Council are helping matters along by
showing their utter incompetency. There
is no reason in the world why the Demo-
Gratis should not | ave filled the city
offices, and yet there is deadlock, which
promises to continue for the greater part
of the year, and may never be settled.
This is not worrying the present city
officers any, for they are holding over
and are perfectly willing to fill their
places for another term.
When efforts were being made to &C.
cure new reform charter for Whining
ton one Of the objections urged WAS that
the Council would be composed of an
equal number OF Democrats and Repub-
licans, and the conseu uuence would be a
deadlock. 1t was claimed that in order
to have successful city government it
was necessary to have a majority. On
top of this came the Democrats into
power, with vote OF seven to six, and q
deadlock has resulted anyhow.
incidentally it might be remarked that
now, before the campaign comes on,
would be the proper time to begin the
AGITATION in favor OF new city charter.
Efforts have been made before, but each
time they were left until the Legislature
was in session, and then the whole plan
sayored of an attempt to turn the city
overt to certain people to govern. If
the agitation in favor of new city
charter was commenced now the people
might become familiar with the proposed
changes in city government before it was
presented to the General Assembly. 1t
would then be able to say whether or
not the one presented was the one de-
sired.
1t is simply nonsense to have several
lawmaking bodies in the city each with
power to make laws on some particular
subject. The Street and Sewer Depart
ment, for instance, should have charge
of repairing and. improving streets and
not saying whether certain street car
company shall enter Wilmington or
wagons shall carry lights at night. The
Police Department should take care Of
the police force and not make rules
which have the same effect as laws. The
present charter is simply piece of poorly
made patchwork and it should be i'm
proved at the first chance offered.

Following the rule of the morning the
congregation was still larger at the after
noon children's service. which was led by
Rev. Van P. Northrup. 1t was really sur
prising where such an assemblage of child

was enjoyable, and G. Wesley Ewing, who

A TRANSPORTS Exciting Trip.

San Francisco. Aug. 14.-The Uni
ted States transport Centennial arrived
here from Manila yesterday after a
very exciting round trip. She narrowly
missed a couple of typhoons, was on
a shore on a coral reef, where the
entire Grey barely escaped capture at
the hands of the Filipinos; one of the
sailors was killed by parting hawser,
and one of the quartermasters, was
stabbed by colored cook. During the
lghtering process necessary to get the
Centennial off the reef near Manila
on her outward trip a quantity Of gov
eminent stores to the value of $4,000
had to be iettisoned and were eagerly
appropriated by the Filipinos, who
swarmed about the reef and made more
than one attack for the purpose OF
capturing the vessel and crew. Upon
her return trip to this port the Cen
tennal brought number of invalided
officers and men from various regi-
nents. The wives of officers are also
on board.

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE FOR CUBANS.
More Than Two-Thirds OF the Cuban
Army Are Black Men.

More Than Two-Thirds of the Cuban
Army Are Black Men.
Havana, Aug. 14.-Juan Gualberto
Gomez. referring to the assertion OF
Carlos Garcia that the race problem
in Cuba could be solved by limited
educational franchise. declared that
such a solution was altogether out Of
the question.
at would be quite impossible, he
said. more than two-thirds of the
army that fought for liberty are black
men, and the majority, even Of the
colonels, cannot read or write. Still
they would demand the right to vote
and Justly demand it. What right has
Carlos Garcia. wish to know. to rep
resent Cuba. He is young man and
received the rank of lieutenant colonel
solely because of his fathers prestige.
He has no political standing and no
right to speak for any element in Cuba.
The trouble from the first has been
that too many unrepresentative men
have talked to the newspapers. l am
convinced that anything but universal
suffrage would be an injustice to the
great majority of the Cubans."

Favorable to hddicks.

From Union Republican Glasses in Sunday Star.
The local Importance Of the coming
political campaign in Delaware has not
in any sense over shadowed the Sena-
torial interests involved. People are
talking very little about the Senatorial
contest. On the Republican side of this
question the trend of public opinirn. is
favorable to the selection OF Mr.. Ed
ward Addicks, for one Of the Rep ,iican
Senatorial representatives. If any one
doubts this let them put an ear to the
giound and listen to the under current
voices. They are increasing in volume
and the portent is unmistakab!e.
OF course there will be opposition.
There are few claimants who will per-
sist in presenting what they call their
previous and ridiculous birth right
claims, to all OF Delaware's political
honors; few place holders, and place
seekers, who will boost these birth right
claimants for reasons OF their own, but it
is getting to be very doubtful as 10
whether they can again successfully play
the old game Of Pharisaical pretense-
OF holier than thou politics.
The amazing thing to these malcon-
tents is that despite their frequent de-
feats of the Republican party in this
State, it has grown steadily and surely
until its success is assured. The Repub-
licans and Democrats alike know that
the only possible chance for Republican
defeat, and Democratic victory, is in
continued diversion of the Republican
vote The Union Republicans have
demonstrated that the Republicans OF
Delaware are the majority voters OF the
State. 1t is no longer o matter OF doubt,
even with the Democratic election
laws in force to prevent Republicans
from voting. This fact makes the con-
tinuance Of the so.called Regular Repub.
lican revolt a farce and crime. In
numbers it represents minority OF
Republican votes; territorially it repre-
sents but one-haf of one of the three
political divisions OF the State. In
sentiment it represents the narrowest
kind OF political bgotry--simply the
hatred and fear of an individual. The
inexorabIe logic Of fact has driven it
from every position but that. 1t has been
stripped of It's pretense of virtue; its
claim of majority support has been dis
proved; its complaint about the appoint
ment OF convention delegates has been
torn into shreds, and is no longer ten
able or respectable-the new apportion-
ment established by the Union Republic
cans, gives it as good chance as the old
one, and under neither has it any
reasonable chance of success. These are
facts which Republicans every where
and Of every shade of opinion are COM
ing to recognize. The revolt represents
nothing but destructive element, in
furious alike to the party and to the
State. As it now stands it threatens,
against the political majority sentiment
OF the State, to give every State officer to
be elected in 1900 to the Democrats, that
is just what its continuance and success
means. Whether faction OF unreason-
able boilers, or rather whether the few
leaders OF deceived and betrayed fac
ton of voters, are to be allowed to do
this, is what the Republicans OF this
county have to decide.

MANY Arrest Warrants Issued.

Paris, Aug. demonstration oc-
Cured last evening outside the Offices
of the Anti-Semite league, where Jules
Guerin, president of the league, and
Max Regis, the former Jew batting
mayor of Algiers, against whom orders
of arrest We're issued on charge OF
conspiring to bring about a change OF
government, are still besieged by the
police Fifty anti-Semites took up po-
sition in restaurant opposite and M.
Guerin harangued them from win
dow. Finally the police closed the
thoroughfare to prevent the demonstra-
tion becoming serious. In the course OF
the evening M. Godefrey. president Of
the committee of the Jeunesse royal
lists, was arrested. and dispatch from

It is understood that even a more
thrilling incident than this was ex-
pected by the counsel Of Dreyfus. and
would have occurred but for General
Mercier's prudence. Dreyfus intended
and had actually declared his determi-
nation to slap Mercier's face before the
whole court, IL he brought up the story
of the relations of Dreyfus with Nine.
b., who, some newspapers have as
serted. acted as go-between for Drey-
fus and the attache to whom he is al
legged to have made reasonable revela-
tions. Mercier abstained from all ref
erence to the story. but despite this.
the people in the court thought for
moment that Dreyfus was about to
strike Mercier. until captain of gem
darmes took him gently by the arm
and pushed him back into his seat.
Today's session of the Dreyfus court
martial Is awaited with the greatest
anxiety and expectation. in view of the
conformation Of Mercier by Casimir-
Perier, when the former will virtually
be in the prisoners dock. A dramatic
scene Is inevitable.
