Washington, Dec. l0.-The Medley

present. The argument developed in
teresting and important questions of
law with reference to the right OF the
United States to e%xtradite a fugitive
criminal in the absence Of an extradi-

ence to the right OF the president since
the ratification of the treaty of Paris
to maintain a military form of govern

the first Of the arguments which bring
up for Anal decision by the supreme

result OF the Spanish-American war.

THE DEMAND Fur MILEAGE

From the Dover relawarean.
This State has unquestionably had
good and bad politics in both parties.
That is thing of the past because we
are living in new era. The ship of
State has been rebuilt, and, with the
PRONUNCIATION of the new Constitution
che started out all cleansed and burn
ished and with snow-white sails. A
penalty is put upon any one who would
soil that white canvas or sully her es-
cutcheon.
Now what is the first barnacle? The
Republicans, after pocketing S. day for
their services as Legislators, attempt to
force payment of mileage, also, when
none is contemplated in the laws and
none is allowed
But what makes the demand Of the
Republican House SAVIOR of theft is the
fact that none Of them were under dol
lar of expense for mileage. To our know.
ledge, every man Of them rode on free
railroad transportation, excepting one
Representative, Captain David Hazard.
He accepted his railroad passes, but
never used them and remained in Dover
until the close of the Legislative session.
The mileage demand is unjust and nc
fair man will insist upon it.

MILFORD PUBLIC SCHOOLS
COST TOO MUCH MONEY

From the Milford Chronicle of Yesterday.
The public schools Of Milford are cost
ing entirely too much money for the
results obtained. With q new building
capable of holding all school children
of Milford, the corps of teachers could
be reduced two, if not three. and better
work be done afterwards. We claimed
that consolidation would save the tax
payers money, and it has been proved
by the last tax levy. We claimed that
better results could be had in public
school education by consolidation, and
they have come about. We claim that
eleven teachers are entirely too many to
teach less than three hundred children
in daily attendance in our schools, and
assert that the number can be reduced
to niue, and better service given as pub
lie educators-if the town would provide
one school bnildng with rooms large
enough to accommodate the pupils in
the departments. The bonds to build
such building can be tloated at tour
per cent, and the interest charges
could he paid by the savings effected in
operating expenses. The public schools
of Milford are ouly average in their
class. They should be the best, and
with this in view We advocate prngress
anu u new Dnllulng us Tue means o' at-
tanning better public schools in Milford.
The poor people, and people oi moderate
circumstances are deeply interested in
this question-for it is their children
which receive the benefit from public
school education. The wealthy class
patronize private schools, snch as are
conducted by Mrs. j. s. Willis and Miss
Prettyman; but thise extra school expense
is beyond the poor mans means, and
the public school tax ls his only contri-
button to the education of his children.
When this is generally understood by
the people, they will no longer be blind
ed by self-interest arguments of those
who have no use for public schools and
who desire to cave a few dollars to their
own pockets, which frequently are ex-
pended four-fold in private school edu-
cation of their own children. Time
rolls on and opportunities for education
are passing in every child's life which
can never be recalled, and it is unfair
to hold back the best means to attain q
public school education in the poor
mans college, our public schools.

clans throughout the South would have
instantly raised the cry that a sovereign
State was unjusti6ably coerced, and
many conservative Northern Republi,,

gone too far. Taylor still has a chance
to make fight in the Kentucky courts,

SOUND LEGAL JUDGMENT.

From the Philadelphis Evening Bulletin.
Although the friends OF honest elec-

given to the GOebelites by tie decision
OF Judge Taft that the United States CIR
euit Court had no jurisdiction in the
Kentucky contest, there is no doubt that
this decision was based upon sound legal
considerations. The moral effect, also,
OF Federal interference at this stage

WHAT WILL MR.. COOPER DO?

From the Evening Journal OF Yesterday.
"What will he do with it?'' Suppose
that Mr.. Cooper gets his conduit and
overhead franchise; will he frame it and
hang it upon his office wall, or will he
file it in pigeon hole in his office desk?
Or will he file it in court as an exhibit to
testify that the Universal Conduit is not
universal? He need not hope that the
Universal will quietly admit that it is
restricted and must acquiesce in any
allegation that the earth in Wilmington
is subject to incursions by any wires

Repair the Elevator.

W W Lockwood OF Winfield, with
five expert WOrkmen as assistants,
cOmmeGctd the work of repairing the

day, which burst and spilled great
quantity OF wheat few weeks ago.
The work Ot repairing the elevator
will consume four or dye weeks. A
larger force Of workmen will be en-
ployed when needed, and the work
will be rushed to completion.
The discovery was made Tuesday
that the threads on a number Of the
brace rods which held the elevator
were not torn, and the nuts were
missing. This leads to the belief
that the failure Of the contractors
who built the elevator to put the nut.
on the rods is responsible for the ele.
vatOr bursting. Well Informed men
said at the time the elevator burst
that the accident was due to some
serious defect in the cons, ruction Of
ae elevator, rather than to overload.
