world. the manufacturing interests
of the United States have entered
on new era, which, while it caught
us little unprepared, will be met
with that dispatch which charac-
terizes American genius and enter

the Yankee nation. The steel in

next FIVE years, as the demand this

DOES civil service protect men in
Office who are uncivil to the public
when transacting business at the
Federal building? What would be
thought of a merchant keeping
clerk who insulted his customers?
And yet, right here in the city of
Wilmington. there are men holding
public Office who act as if they were
doing the public kindness when
they wait on them. Nothing of the
kind; they are paid, and well paid
at that, to answer all questions
politely, and not act as if they
owned the earth and the fullnesss
thereof.

THE Dreyfus trial is attracting
the attention of the world. 1t is to
be hoped that this time the captain
will receive fair and impartial
trial and be judged as to his inno-
cence or guilt by the evidence and
not by his birth. The unfortunate
man has been prosecuted and
bounded until it is wonder he was
not driven insane by the cruel treat
ment accorded him on Devils Is
land, where he was shut up in a
cage, and the sun could shine in
on him from morning till night.

Israelite, now let justice be done,

IT IS wonderful what a fascina-
ton the trolley has for the people.
They enjoy spin these warm sum-
mer evenings to the different parks
so as to cool off. Then, the parks
have been made so attractive they
are very pleasant place to spend
an evening, Wilmington has two
parks that are well kept and made
attractive and are well patronized
by the people this summer. Trolley
parties, although not so numerous
as when the trolley first made its
advent in our city, is still one of the
enjoyable pleasures of the young
as well as the older folks. a troll
ley ride is invigorating these warm
evenings.
THE paving OF the streets Of Will
mington in some certain sections do
not look as if they were going to
wear any too we'll. The streets
are already IN ridges and hollows
such a manner that they will have
to be repaved in short time. Take
Market street for a sample. 1t has
only been Il few years since it was
paved from Front to the Brandy
wine. The Street and Sewer Com
missioners now propose to relay it
with fire brick before the first of the
year. All this costs money and
there should be no experimenting.
THE papers are full of suicides
and murders. Is the warm wealth
er affecting the minds of the peo-
pie? What can be the matter any
how, that so many people seek death
by means of their own. Surely the
world is not growing more callous,
Notwithstanding all the many adj
vantages they enjoy that their fore
fathers fought and died for. One
reason is that the people live otast
and not being able to keep up with
the procession, get discouraged and
take their lives.

THE Street Car Company in our
city has been free from accidents,
but on Sunday evening, $ year old
Matilda Cooper, colored, was run
over by one Of the Eighth street
cars and killed. The only wonder
is that no more children are killed
on our streets, as they are turned
out and allowed TO play in the street
and often run rccklessly in front of
trolley car and then jump aside
before it reaches them.

provision should be deprived of its
charter and prohibited from doing fur
ther business.
And these companies advertise low
rates and quick service.
Again, it should be noted that you
can send packages weighing less than
four pounds by mail for about one
fourth the rate charged by express COM
panies on packages too heavy for mail
service
Besides this fact it may be further
noticed that the government pays the
railroads about four times as much per
pound for transporting mails as is
charged the express companies. The
railroads thus aid the express companies
to rob the people. Both the express
companies and the railroads are public
utilities and the remedy would seem
clear to every thinker to be public own
ership of these public utilities The
postal service is public utility owned
by the public. 1t robs nobody and il
lustrates the service the people would
get by extending this service to all ex-
press packages. Down with the pirate
express companies. Let us extend the

in proportion and he is no better OF than

and that is what he wants.
1t is pleasant, in deluge of lies, to
catch breath of truth.
The price of wheat and cotton is fixed
in the worlds market, not in the local
markets. We can increase prices here
by increasing the issue of paper money,
but the metallic money of the world
determines the prices in the worlds
markets, and by demonetizing silver we
have doubled the purchasing power of
gold, and that cuts in half the price of
wheat and cotton in America, as we'll
as everything else.
Hence wheat, which 20 years ago
averaged a dollar bushel, is now worth
about so to 60 cents.
That is the whole story in a nutshell

attraction of gravitation as to try to
dispute it. Id.

Does it makeyany difference whether
the tax is paid to King George or King
Hanna? King George distributed the
proceeds to his court favorites. King
Hanna divides with the administration
syndicate. The tax question will bear
study and reward investigation.

| we are ready TO fall into line at once and
so with the Democrats to victory
In 1872 the Peoples party was formed
at Omaha and declared that its vital
principles should be land, transporta-
lion and finance. On the question Of
land, we declared and believed that:
:'rhe land, including all the natural re-
sources of wealth, is the heritage of the
people, and should not be monOpolized
for speculative purposes, and alien own
ership of land should be prohibited All
land. now held by railroads in excess of
their actual needs should be reclaimed
by the government and held for actual
settlers >s-.
Now, what party holds this whole
soma doctrine save us? Fer 80 years

able in any other kind of dollar but
that the promise Of the government to
receive it for all dues and the legal ten

Ii you are not a taxpayer you are the
most consummate and successful dead beat

When the jobbers, the franchise mo-
nopolists and the interest reapers refuse
to pay their just share of taxes to the
treasures of the city, county and state,
they have committed most heinous crime
They have put their hands into the pockets
of the helpless school children of the state
and robbed them of their educational sup

highwayman, who at least is not SO callous
that he would rob a child. Unseen they
steal the coppers from the eyes of the dead
There is hardly a movement of an honest
mans life but that pays taxes in one way
or another 1t is only the rich man who
pays no tax, because he is in position to
make others pay it for him. If you are
poor man you are a taxpayer.-An Ex-

1t is time that every poor man, every
toiler and every man who belongs to the
