THE Sun appropriately says:
"The fact that Street and Sewer
Director Simmons and President
Mitchell, of the Universal Heat,
Light and Power Company, have
attempted to explain how and why
the recent sweeping grant of street
franchises was made to that COM
pany, is favorable sign Popular
indignation is making them vince.
These explanations, however, do
not meet the case. This Is not a
question Of legal procedure. 1t is,
on the one side, betrayal OF the
obligations of public service, and,
upon the other, OF profitlng by that
betrayal in taking what the reeip-
lent knew the people who owned it
were not willing togive away. The
whole history of the affair as it
went through the Street aud Sewer
Department proves that. 1t may
be that there is no way Of correct
ing the wrong done. We do not be-
lIeve it We cannot conceive of
legislative and administrative
wrong for which there is no remedy;
but this. these gentlemen will prob
ably want some other political
trust, and the people will see that
they don't get it.. "
The Every Evening says: at is
announced that a movement is on
foot to call meeting OF citizens, i'll
short time, tor the purpose Of
protesting against the enormous
grant of street franchises to the
Universal Heat, Light and Power
Company by the Street and Sewer
Department, and to ascertain ii
steps cannot be taken to secure its
revocation. The object of the
meeting is very practical, and there
Is no doubt that call would result
in a representative gathering, and
in the adoption oil measures that
would at least give promise OF Sc
curing the desired end. -

The Union Republicans OF Della
ware will meet in convention hall
in Dover, on February 9th, and
select six delegates to the Repub.
lican National Convention which
meets in Philadelphia on June 10Th,
The primaries, at which a selection
OF delegates to this State Conven-
tion will be made, will be held on
Saturday, February oath. and are
declared open to all voters who adj
vocate the policies of the great Re-
publican party. The decision OF
the Union Republican State Com
mlttee to have tine State Convention
assemble on February 9th, makes
the two Republican Conventions in
Dover on tie same day. The pur-
pose Of each is the same choose
six delegates to the Republican
National Convention. Opportunity
will be given for the appointment OF
conference committees on the part
of each convention that may report
the result of any conferences to
their respective conventions in open
session. The headquarters OF the
Union Republican State Committee
will be at the Hotel Richardson,
where suite of rooms has been
engaged. They have also rented
the hall in Dover TO hold their con-
vention in. The only thing to do is
tor the people to insist that both
wings Of the Republican party
shall combine on the Governor, the
lieutenant Governor and all State
officers. If fight they must, let it
be on the men who shall represent
or misrepresent the Republican
party in the Legislature at Dover,
in January next, The useless fight
that has been in progress Tor SIX
years or more, is doing the party
no good. 1t is slowly but surely
sapping the blood OF RcpubIIcanlsm
in Delaware and throwing all the
offices into the hands Of the Demo-
Gratis. Instead of organizing to
fight the Democrats, they arc fight
ing the Republicans withthe usual
result,

BRIDGING BEHRING SEA.
Results of the DepOsit Of Immense
Quantities of Debris by the
Mighty Yukon River.

Prof. w. j. McGee, of Washington.
declares that two slow but interesting
changes are taking place in Behring
sea. The immense quantity of debris
that is borne down the Yukon from its
sources and sides is being deposited in
the sea beyond the mouth of that
mighty stream, and its weight causes
the bed of the sea tc subside. A cor
responding rise in the earth's crust is
produced along the chain of the Aleu-
tian islands. Now, not only are the
islands themselves increasing in size
in consequence of being lifted up out
Of the water. but new islands are being
formed in the gaps between the others.
In some instances the new islands are
the result of the rise, and in others
they are the result of volcanic action.
Most of the Aleutians are Of volcanic
origin, and they mark the position of
a fold in the earth's crust that is pre-
disposed to eruption. In time, Prof.
McGee says, there is likely to be nat
ural bridge from america to Asia along
this route. but he admits that nobody
now living is going to see it.

AMERICAN GRAVES IN MEXICO.
Many Along the Railroad Lines
Marked by Wooden Crosses.
(Ernln the Chicarn Inter Occnnl

How many of the hundreds OF Ameri2a
tourists who make a trip through Mex co
have ever noticed the little wooden crcss g
that line every railroad route through the
country. and how many Of thtse who haze
noticed them Know that In most ms anCes
they mark the grave OF some c5mpau lot
who has met sudden death through some
accident?
To those unfamiliar with Mexican meth
DDS this may seem strange. but it is a fact
that of the many Americans who are
killed on the railroads in Mexico very few
are inferred in consecrated ground. NJ 81
of these pathetic little grave marks have
rotted off and nov lie fiat on the graves
but they will be replaced some day, for the
native Mexican OF the lower class with
all his hate of the 'gringo,' never allows a
grave long to remain unmarked If he
knows it. He is supersttious to the lat
degree. and he firmly believes that should
he allow the day of his patron saint to
pass without his attending to the graves
in the immediate viciyity of his home h
would forever be haunted by the spirit OF
the neglected graves occupant.
On the Rascon Mountains probably the
most dangerous piece of railroad track In
the Republic. there are 1863 OF these little
crosses in about thirty-two miles, and
almost without exception they mark the
graves of American railroad men, These
graves are scattered all over the mountain
side. but in every case they are Just where
the inquest. IL there was one. was he'd.
The interment of the dead in Mexico Is
a very expensive matter. For time tie
railroad men who went from the States to
operate the roads there tried to give to AL
Americans who were killed on their divi-
sion decent burial, but the tax on the
few permanent ones was too great. AID
the plan was practically abandoned.

Control was secured of the delegations

STATES EVIDENCE is IN.

tucky.
Georgetown, July 30.-The prosecu-
ton in the trial of ex-Secretary of
State Powers, charged with being an
accessory to the murder of William
Goebel, concluded its evidence in chief
Saturday afternoon. On redirect ex-
animation Wharton Golden said he
had been approached by his brother
in-law, John Stamper. who told him
that he had talk with Lawyer SIM
clair, now one of Powers attorneys,
and that Golden could get $1,000 if
he would leave the state and not ap-
pear against Powers. Witness rea-
son for not going back to Knox
county after he made a confession was
that his brothers advised him to stay
away, as they believed he would be
killed. During lively tilt over the
letter which Golden's wife was said
bv the newspapers to have written to
him, Lawyer Sinclair incurred the
courts displeasure and was fined SIS
for contempt. Robert Haslock, gun
smith, gave expert testimony as to the
bullet in the block of wood cut from
the tree after it is supposed to have
passed through Goebel's body. He
pronounced it 3S-calibre metal patch
bullet.
Attorney Franklin. for the prosecu-
tion, announced his side would rest
and asked that the jury be taken to
Frankfort to form ali opinion of the
scene of the tragedy. but the court
ruled this should not be done till all
the evidence was in.
