School Fund Expendltures,

Coroner George Wills and F0rmor Rep
resentative Thomas johnson. of Sussex
county, were In Wilmington to-day In
conferences with State Treasurer Bail In
reference to tho expenditure Of sob DOL
funds. 1t appears that number Of agent!
have been operating In the lower part of
the State, especially among the colored
schools, selling maps and aliases, on the
claim tnat they had been recommended by
the State Board of Education.
Orders for payment were then secured
on the school fund. This took large
part OF the funds for some OF the schools.
As a matter of fact the State Board Of Ed
ucation had nothing TO do with the mat
tor. 1t Is desired to stop tho concerns
from collecting money for the maps and
compel them to take them back.

THE new city charter discussion
is still on. 1t is urged that new
city charter was never needed SO
much as at present. The action OF
the Street and Sewer Commission
ers granting the Universal Con-
duit Company the exclusive rights
to streets in our city is severely
condemned. They have been given
the right to tear up our streets and
erect poles. but nothing has been
said about when they expect to be-
gin work. Is the franchise for sale
10 the highest bidder? When this
franchise was granted, it was SAID
the gentlemen connected with the
enterprise had the necessary capi-
tai, nearly half million, to erect
the necessary plant to commence
business. This is what our citizens
are looking for. and are ready to
help any new enterprise that means
business, but not those who are al
ter the coin alone.

WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 78. 1000.
The war IN the Philippine Is
lands appears to be about ended.

THE war IN the Philippine Is
lands appears to be about ended.
At least the armies OF Aguinaldo
have been dispersed and the great
mass of the people appear ready
to engage in their usual avocation.
We are heartily glad that Aguin-
aldo has been driven out OF the
country and will cease to be dis
turber Of the peace.
The authorities Of our country
have no desire to oppress the Fill
penos. On the contrary thev wish
to better their condition. The OBJ
ject is to educate, to remove burdens,
to teach religious liberation, and
habits of industry and cleanliness;
the object is to elevate all classes
and conditions of citizens and lead
to the development of the resources
Of the country. The war on their
part was prompted by the ambition
Of Aguinaldo and his adherents
and upheld by the ignorance and
superstition OF his followers. They
will, in very short time, see the
error of their past course and seek
to repair the losses they experien-
ced. There will be no backward
steps takeu by our Government and
the parties who oppose its policy,
will live to regret their course. Ex-
pansion and not contraction will be
sanctioned by the great majority of
our people. 1t lisa pity the enemies
Of that policy should be SO blind.
The requirement of Louisiana, OF
California and Alaska should have
taught them greater wisdom. The
acquisition OF each Of these terri
tories was bitterly denounced, yet
the country survived and each OF
them has added to its strength and
dimensions. Men should learn les
sons from the past and not allow
nthelr svmpathies 10 blind their
judgment The lives lost in the
Philippines are greatly to be re-
regretted, but they will be in a
measure compensated for by the
preservation of peace in coming
years and the improved conditions
which will prevail. Future devel-
opments will prove the justification
of our government and millions will
Fave reason to bless the wisdom of
its course and its elevating intlu
enCes.
