The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1900-04-13

The Wilmington Lodge of Elks
propose to hold a carnival in our
city to last one week. The carni-
Val would draw hundreds of VISIT
ors to our city and awaken our clti.
zens from their Rip VanWinkle
sleep, and cause the dollars Of our
daddles to circulate. They pro-
pose to give several street parades
that will be worth seeing. The
carnival could be made a success
by the hearty cooperation OF our
business men and public spirited
citizens and be the biggest kind of
an advertisement Wilmington has
ever had. The object is to inject
new life into Wilmington, and at
the same time attract strangers to
our city, who by their coming will
circulate their money and our mer-
chants will thereby reap an advan-
tage from this carnival, which has
been so popular in Southern cities.
Such a carnival would pay Will
mngton, and every effort should be
made to hold it this year. The
Elks deserve all the encouragement
they can get from our citizens.

THE Sun says: SIT must be that
the true peace makers in this fight
are they who maintain the Repub-
lican party org anization, which has
proved its ability to defeat the
Democratic party-which assures
complete victory over that party
at the coming election-are they
who exclude none, but invite all
opponents of the Democratic party
to unite tor its defeat and overthrow.
If their overtures to this end are
rejected, as they have been, there
is no course left for them to follow
but that against all opponents.
Those who, in such fight, are not
with them, must be against them.
The fighters are the peace makers. "
The above looks like getting to-
gether. In other words, if the men
they thin hav been the aggressors
wish f peace they can get it by
joi, ing the Unto Republicans, and
in no other way, according to the
Sun. This electi n will be the
most important ev r. held in this
State. When membe ) of one FAM
lily fall out, there is 1t one result.
Will the Democrats take the hint?

THE Third street bridge has al
ways been bone of contention IN
the Levy Court and cost the county
thousands of dollars to keep it in
order. For all the money spent on
1t new and better bridge could
have been erected in its place. The
travel is SO heavy that the Stacking
old structure is out OF repair almost
every day and causes much delay.
Something should be done to stop
these annoyanCes.

If the Street and Sewer Commits
sioners have any authority over the
streets or the employees Of the city
they should assert it and not make
any complaints they cannot stand
by. II that body has any authority
it should make it known in no un-
certain language. At the same
time it does not pay to have the city
departments fighting one another
at the expense Of the tax payers.
Under such city charter as pro-
posed by John S. Rossell, these diff
terences could not take place.

Let your liver alone. Start with the

names OF Frank ii. Rush, Rudolph Colby
and John Y. Martin have occupied consider
able attention at different times and while
Messrs. Rush and Colby do not seem to be
making any effort for the place at present it
is reasonably certain that Mr.. Martin, who
Is supervisor of Caledonia township and is
very popular citizen, will be heard OF
In the convention and will contest the nomi-
notion with Alderman Jordan even II the
others do not let their names 20 before the
convention as candidates. Indeed, Mr..
Martin seems to be strong favorite in GER
tain sections of the county.
In the matter of the prosecuting attorney

candidates from more than one locality.
The friends of Van Ranst Pond, of this city.
hope to see his name placed ON the ticket
as candidate for that Office, and In fact
should by any chance the clerkship have
gone elsewhere than to Owosso, Owosso
republicans would feel, and 1t would seem
with some reason, too, that they should not
be put In the position of demanding that
this Office come to Owosso but that the
spirit of fairness thruout the rest of the
county should save all from the humiliation
of seeing the biggest delegation of all put
ting up fight to secure what by rights
must be recognized as even less than that
to which it is entitled. Mr.. Ponds name
was presented to the convention two years
ago, and while at that time he did not re-
ceive the nomination, he and his friends
were nevertheless pleased and grateful for
the number of votes he did receive and for
the testimonials of esteem which came to
him then when he felt that he might per-
haps be still regarded as one of the new
men in the county. Since then his record
has been only of the kind to make his
candidacy more popular and himself
better officer, should he be chosen. With
either of these nominations secured, how
ever, Owosso republicans will feel that they
have no occasion to feel sore IL another
candidate than theirs wins out on the re-
naming one, altho they also feel that
should the convention so decide, they will
be receiving no more than just recognition
Should the three places come to men who
are standing In their ranks II on the other
hand the clerkship has already been given
to Owosso, then the candidacy of Mr.. Pond
will encounter what will probably prove
serious opposition In that Of Mr.. A. E.
Richards, of COrunna, who has been
making well thot out plans to secure the
nomination for himself.
This seems to be the situation and this

PRAISE FROM WASHTENAW.

Representative Mason has an Unknown
Admirer in that County Who Has Some
Very Warm Words to Say for Him-A
Republican Hurls Cefiance at the "Di-
rect Legislation Lesgue"
We clip the following communication
from the columns of the Washtenaw
Times and take pleasure in presenting
the same to our readers. The writer of
the communication, whose identity is
concealed, has evidently no small
amount of admiration in him tor our
Shiawassee representative and is not
afraid to voice the commentator today
which every self respecting citizen could
not help feeling at the time the incident
referred to occurred. He has, however,
fallen into one mistake which the COVER
nor himself made months ago in placing
Mr.. Mason's name in the list of the
Immortal nineteen" Mr.. Mason was
not even member of the senate, to say
nothing of being one of nineteen partic-
ular senator's. The complaint of the
"Direct Legislation League" bears some
strange ear marks, anyway, and what
eyer may be said of scheme for direct
legislation when carefully thot out and
put into operation, the method employed
by the League" seems to be both under
handed and unfair, tho it is of so little
Importance as to deserve but little more
than passing notice. The fairness of
their attack will however be considered
later. The communication as it APP
peared in the Washtenaw Times is as
follows:
Ann Arbor, May 81. 1900
Editor Times
have read that the Direct Legisla-
ton League OF Michigan is opposing
the candidacy of each and every indi-
vidual who, as a member of the last
legislature, voted against the submission
of the constitutional amendment pro-
posed by the league. l understand this
society proposes to make special
effort against the denomination and cleo.
ton of George Mason, of Shiawassee
county. The gall of this unknown
society is wonderful. Mr. Mason was
one of the immortal 10 who had suffi-
cient self respect TO inform the present
state government, of which we are all
ashamed, that he had the courage to act
according to best judgment Pingree
and his lieutenants could not whip Mr..
Mason in line. Shiawassse county
should be proud OF its representative
and answer the presumption of the Di-
rect Legislation league by emphatically
re electing Mr. Mason with such an in.
creased majority that the league will
never be heard of again. The courage
of Mr.. Mason In defying the governor
and his mercenaries should be rewarded
with state Office such as auditor
general for which he is well qualified.

Shaw regards Paris itself, the typically

the incompleteness of the Exposition In
the opening month, as many visitors have,
DIR. Shaw welcomed the opportunity to
see so many Of the wonders of the fair in

discriminating estimate of the real value

Detection Of Willard ]. Turner, of Muske-
gon, Was Bombshell in the
Democratic Camp.

Muskegon, Mich, May 26.-The an
nouncement of the withdrawal of
Willard j. Turner from the democratic
party was bombshell in the local
camp. Turner is one of western Michi-
CANS most eloquent and prominent
politicians. He was circuit court COM
missioner of Shiawassee county by ap-
pointment of Gov. Begole. In 1890 he
defeated James C. Mclaughlin, the
present candidate for auditor general,
for prosecuting attorney of Muskegon
county. He is a grandson of ex-Judge
Josiah Turner and brother of Charles
G. Turner, president of the state pardon
board.

CIRCUS DAY COMING.
Only Little w lille tOWait for Ringing
Bros Big Show.

Only Little W lille toWait for Ringing
Bros Big Show.
Never in the history OF amusements in
this city has the coming of circus arous.
ed so much preliminary enthusiasm as has
been created by the announcement that
Ringing Bros Worlds Greatest Shows
would exhibit in Owosso, next Friday,
June s. The wonderful reputation
achieved by this famous show-a reputa-
ton that has been earned by legitimate
methods and by virtue of the superiority
of this grand exhibition over all others
has aroused a profound interest, and cir
Gus day promises to be long remem-
bered event in this vicinity. The prog
ress of the show through the country is
continuous ovation; it is universally
praised by the press; the masses turn out
for it as they do for no other exhibition,
and north, east, south and west the name
of Ringing Bros popular big circus has
taken first place in the minds and hearts
of all who love and enjoy This peculiarly
American form of amusement. Circus
day will begin with the most elaborate
free street parade ever seen in this city.
Ringing Bros have worldwide celeb.
rity for their remarkable open-air dis
plays, and this year they have surpassed
all previous efforts in the line of pictur-
esque professions. The parade is an inn
mense affair. 1t is divided into thirty
huge sections, each representing some
national characteristic, either in this or
other countries, or some noted historic
event, such as the British invasion of the
Punjaub, the siege of Troy and the tri-
umphant battles of the Hispano- Ameri-
can war. The great powers of Europe
are represented by attachments of their
crack soldiery, properly uniformed and
accoutred; the wonders OF the brute crea-
tan are exhibited in scores of open dens
and beautifullyEcarved cages; hundreds
OF gaily caparisoned horses prance and
wave their nodding plumes in the morn
ing breeze, and knight and herald, lancer
anc cuirassier, in glittering helmet and
sparkling corselet, lend kaleidoscope
coloring to the scene. The opening per-
Torrance will be given at 2 o'clock, and
final one at pm. Both will be equally
complete. The performance opens with
the beautiful historical spectacle, "The
Last Days of the Century," in which the
wonderful professional resources OF the
show are surprisingly displayed. In the
performance that follows are hundreds of
new and startling circus features never
before exhibited in this country. Among
these are O'Brien's famous sixty.one
horse act, in which over three-score thor
oughbreds perform in one ring, ct one
time, under the direction of single
trainer; the Lockhart comedy elephants
and Souder's elephant band; long list of
celebrated aerialists, acrobats and riders,
including the great menage equestrienne,
Nine. Ada CASTILLO and her peerless horse
Jupiter, and Albert Crandall and his
wonderful ring mule, and more other
meritorious features, arenic, geologic and
hippodromic, than any score of other
shows could possibly present.
Reserved numbered seats and admis-
sions show day without any advance in
price at Collins drug store.

Bryan still insists that prosperity In this
country is only dream as yet. If he will
reflect moment he must conclude that 1t
is the most realistic dream the country has
ever had. Perhaps it's too realistic and
is therefore something of nightmare to
the distinguished gentleman, but to the
mass of American citizens 1t Is not as bad
a nightmare as the memory of the weary
weeks and months under democratic poll
cies when there was nothing to do but
dream.
