UNION REPUBLICAN
SUPERB ORGANIZATION
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.

ACii NAlS uDllC IGuSeIs
The Regulars and Union Republicans
will clash at Dover on February 81. The
State Committee OF the Unionists are ex-
pected on Tuesday to announce that date
for their State Convention, when hoth
factions will endeavor TO secure Della
wares delegation to the National Re-
publican Convention. The plans of the
Cnionists are not fully understood, and
they are evidently working quiet and
what they consider winning game. The
Addicks men are alive to every move,
and through their superb organization
throughout the State they can get out to
a primary election nearly their full vote,
while the Regulars without an organiza-
tion cannot expect to get out more than
a handful. The Regulars are, no doubt,
honest in their efforts to rid the State OF
Addicks and Addicksism, but through
minor chickering's and dissensions among
themselves they have allowed their
organization to practically collapse,
while the Addicks people have kept i'm
proving theirs.

HAPPENINGS
THROUGHOUT
THE STATE
WESTERN CAR COMPANY
GOES OUT OF BUSINESS
Corporation Chartered in 1873 by
This State Has Been
Dissolved.

Dover, Del, Feb. IA notice issued
by Secretary of State James III. Hughes
announces the dissolution OF the corpora
tion known as the Western Car Co. This
company was incorporated under the
laws of this State in 1878, and among the
original incorporators were r. r. Robin
son, James L. DeVou. Edward Darling
ton and William J.. Auchineloss. The
purpose of the corporation was to build
and rent out freight cars. 1t built a
large number OF cars, the Jackson &
Sharp Co., of Wilmington being the con-
tractor in many cases, and at the time
they were built, they were of standard
size. AS time went on it was found that
larger cars were coming into use and the
cars the company had built became out
OF date. The business became unprofit-
able and the company has sold all its
cars and collected all its assets and paid
its debts, and under authority of a
special act of the Legislature, has re-
duced its capital stock by dividing the
proceeds from the sale of cars among the
shareholders.
Although the company had its charter
extended, in 1893, for 20 years, it has
wound up its affairs and taken proceed
ings to be dissolved under the laws of
this State. At special meeting of the
stockholders, more than two-thirds in
interest consented to the dissolution, and
the Secretary Of State has granted GER
ti6cate to that effect
Charles NJ. Curtis, Of Wilmington, who
is the attorney ot the company, may
shortly be app inlrd it's receiver, to close
whatever nns.ttlt d affairs remain. An
thony J. Thomas was president and H.
j. Huidekoner general manager of the
company. James j. Devon was the only
Wilmington ditector. Al one time, the

Committee Discusses This Part OF
the New City Charter.

A joint committee Of the Board O.
Trade and City Council held a meeting
last night in the Board OF Trades room,
No. 306 Equitable Building, to discuss
and revise the proposed new city charter.
The question Of whether the advisory
board should be elected or appointed
was discussed. NJ. +. Cannon was OF
the opinion that the board should be
elected, while the other members of the
committee thought it should be APP
pointed.
No definite action was taken on the
question and it will be brought up at a
later meeting.
After discussing several other parts OF
the charter, the meeting adjourned to
meet again next Monday night. The
committee is composed OF George w.
Bush, Patrick Neary, Archibald S. Reed
and John Bancroft, of the Board of
Trade, and NJ. F. Cannon, George M.
Fisher and Henry r. Smith OF the City
Council. George w. Bush is president,

TWO FUNERAL 0RATIONS
BY SENATOR BLACKBURN
From the New York Bun.


By the sad irony OF fate and the ex-
igencies of personal ambition, it became
the duty of the Hon. Joseph G. s. Black
burn to pronounce the funeral Grafton at
the coffin of William Goebel. And of
Goebel Senator Blackburn said:
Build here over his grave a mighty,
towering granite shaft that shall defy
the corroding touch of time. Inscribe
upon it an epitaph that shall be worthy
OF the man. He earned this at our hands.
In life and death he was consecrated to
the peoples cause. He lived an honest
life, and gave his life for your deliver
ance. OF him no eulogy but truth may
say: Earth never pillowed upon her
bosom a truer son, nor Heaven opened
wide her portals to receive manlier
spirit. y
At Covington, on Sunday, April IA,
1895, a little less than five years ago, the
eulogist of Goebel pronounced another
funeral oration. That time he stood by
the coffin of Colonel John /. Sanford
who, like Goepel, had been shot down in
the highway. And of Sanford Senator
Blackburn said:
"John Sanford was to me like a
brother. | loved him. / hope God may
spare me, and shall make it my life's
mission to avenge him by burying his
slayer in the depths Of merited public
execration."
The slayer of John Sanford was Will
liam Goebel.

TO PROTEST AGAINST
THE FRANCHISE GRANT

From Every Evening OF Yesterday.
1t is announced that a movement is on
foot to call meeting of citizens, in a
short time, for the purpose of protesting
against the enormous grant OF street
franchises to the Universal Light, Heat
and Power Company by the Street and
Sewer Department, and to ascertain II
steps cannot be taken to secure its revo-
cation. The object OF the meeting is very
practical. and there is no doubt that a
call would result in representative
gathering, and in the adoption of meas
nres that would at least give promise of
securing the desired end.
The meeting should be held, by all
means. There il not break I'LL ,te pub
He sentiment against this audaeiaHs and
unauthorized gIt OF street franchises to
a private corr ration. 1t is a sweeping
grant, and Wonld he ill-advised even ii
the city received a considerable financial
compensation. But when it is consid-
cred that the city gets nothing, the gilt
assumes the aspect OF an outrage upon
tie taxpayers.
1t is claimed that the people are large
iy to blame in the matter, Tor not pro-
testing in time. It is true that notice
was given Of the intention OF the com
pany to apply for the franchise, but it is
also fact-whether it be just defense
or not-that nobody outsiGe of those di-
rectlv interested in the concern that
sought the monopoly had the remotest
idea of what was intended The action
of the Street and Sewer Department in
granting the franchise came upon the
community with all the force of stun
ming and unexpected blow.
However, it will do no harm to call a
public meeting for the consideration Of
the subject and to ascertain if remedy
cannot be found. On the contrary, it
may result in much good.

FACTS ABOUT FINANCES
OF SUSSEX COUNTY

From the Georgetown Union Republican.
There has been some controversy a. to
the office of Clerk of the Peace in this
county. The Union Republican felt
itself justified in the interests OF the tax
payer in attacking the administration Of
the aforesaid office, especially It's de-
mand upon the county treasury Tor the
work done therein, as being utterly out
of reason, an eStortionate demand, en-
trely disproportionate to the services
rendered and the capacity required to
discharge them, and essentially the cause
of tue present condition OF public
finances in the county OF Sussex. We
have claimed, and do now claim, that
the administration of the aforesaid office
has been, and is now, stupendous
grab. We hplleve that it should stop.
The Union Republican takes the ground
that the Clerk OF the Peace should be the
Clerk OF tile Lazy Court-its servant, not
its master. That the time has come to
save the peoples money, and not to
slaander il away in unreasonable allow
ances. IL is certain tn t the taxpayers,
as class, d. not know the facts. That
they may have some Of them We have
taken the trouble to obtain official
tignres. We ask the consideration oil the
public, and rs specially ofthe Pilot, which
t.as undertaken the defense of the pres
ent Clerk of tbe Peace, and the negative
side generally in the discussion, to ex-
anime the following figures and tabu-
lated statements. They are taken from
the auditors reports uf tile State, and
are the amounts allowed the several
Clerks OF the Peace, from the incnm-
bency OF William B. Tomlinson inclu-
sive, to the last allowance made to
John B. Dorman, the present Clerk OF
the Peace.

It is not the intention Of the Union
Republican to puhlish ANYTHING hut

1t is not the intention Of the Union
Republican to publish anything but
facts, nor to meddle in things that do
n ot concern it, but the charge has been
made that the Union Republicans are
not fit to administer public affairs, that
the people should turn them ont, that
the present state of the county's finances
is due to their incapacity. In defense OF
the proposition that these charges are
not true, and in the effort to point out
just where great deal OF the trouble
lies, where the main leak is in the
treasury, the Union Republican is met
by sweeping denials on the part OF the
Pilot, and OF others. The trouble has
therefore been taken to put the facts be-
fore tine people, taken from official
sources. There is no need for argument.
The Pilots assertion that no Democratic
Levy Court ever allowed a Clerk OF
1 ie Peace more than s., 500 90 is shown
TO be absolutely false. We have further
word for the Pilot and the public, The
above allowances do not include the fees
of the Office coming from all licenses,
aggregating at least one thousand dollars
more tor the benefit of the incumbent, &c
that our former assertion that Clerks oi
the Peace are receiving more than s., COO
year is shown to be too small-in one
instance in the year 1897 John r. DE-
mfn must have received oyer six
thousand dollars out of the people.

AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH.

On Sunday, February IL, the pastor
delivered the seventh sermon in the
''Plan Of Redemption series, taking for
his text, Psalm 118: %, 1.-THE stone
which the builders refused is become the
head stone of the corner" his subject
'The corner stone" The lesson read
was found in the 12:h chapter of Johns
gospel together with Acts A. lib. In
abiding to the "many mansions" which
Christ has gone to prepare for his people
and the desire to know what part Of the
building each would occupy, the speak
er reasoned that the reward in each case
would only be equivalent to the work
done. That no one need fear disappofnt-
ment. Each would receive the place
striven for. Using the building of
pyramid as simile the speaker proceed
ed to point out the difference between
Gods building and mans, also referring
to the rejection Of Christ by the Jewish
rulers who could find no place in their
building for the ssstone which was set
at naught." 'sThe stone which the
builders rejected" and which was TO be-
come the "head of the corners That
while man must of necessity begin at the
bottom to lay bis foundation, Gods
is laid in heaven, Christ be-
ing the topmost stone but still the f0un-
dation stone. Laid In heaven but reach
ing down to us az God cannot build up.
Therefore saith the Lord God, Behold
lay in Zion for foundation stone, a
tried stone, precious corner stone, B
sure foundation" ssAnd he that belisVeth |
ON him shall not be confOunded.'
