ON Saturday we published Pc
tition signed by over 1000 citizens,
asking that the Street and Sewer
Commission will grant the Whining
ton and Brandywine Springs Rail
way Company the authority to lay
its tracks down Sixth street. 1t the
members of the Commission have
any regard for the wishes of our
citizens, they will certainly grant
the privilege asked for. The i'm
provement is desirable one. and
it should be encouraged by all law
tul means, instead Of being handi.
capped by opposition of any agents
Of the city. Adverse action by the
members of the Commission will
certainly lead to uncomplmentary
remarks and may eventually result
in legislation that will put it out of
their power to act in the matter.
Private interest should not be made
paramount to the welfare of our
citizens, and it is high time the
commissioners should realize that
their reputation is at stake in this
matter.

EVERY good Republican desires
the election Of Republicans to every
Office within the gift of the people.
They desire such elections, not to
reward political favorites, but to
insure the continuance Of the pros
perity Of the country. The Old AK
ION, measures, not men," should
continue to be the rallyirg cry of all
Republicans The struggle for Of
fee by any aspirant should not di-
vide the party. The continuance
of the tariff, the preservation of
the gold standard, and the uphold
ing Of the flag, are more important
than the control of the convention
to nominate delegates to a national
convention, or to determine who shall
receive the appointment to office
under the government. Selfish.
ness should give way to patriotism,
and after the Democrats have been
defeated, it will be time enough to
determine who shall fill the various
Offices provided for by our constitu-
ton. The mistakes of the past
should be overlooked, old scores
rubbed out and a new start should
be taken on lines that will lead to
success, ard success, after all, Is
what we are after, and not the mere
honor of leadership. Good soldiers
will stand up for their country and
the honor of our flag, and not
through past disappointment or
spite sacrifice all that good Repub-
LEANS hold dear as life. In short,
the party must unite and support
one set Of candidates or the coming
election in many of the districts
will prove a mere farce Office
holders may say Mckinley will be
reelected anyhow, as the three
electoral votes of our State are of
little consequence. This may be
true, but if the Republican leaders
in other States should prove equally
short-sighted, the Democrats would
elect their candidate and end the
struggle of professed Republicans
for self rather than principle, al
though some pretend that they are
actuated solely by a high sense Of
honor.

spondent at Manila, dated June II,
says: There seems to be no end to
the war in sight. The censorship is
constantly becoming more trouble
some. 1t is impossible to write the
truth about the situation. The re
sources and fighting qualities Of the
natives is misunderstood by the
American papers, and We can not
write facts without being accused
of treason; nor can we tell of the
practically unanimous opposition to
and the dislike of war among the
American troops. The volunteers,
