u Ing u nave DuL one NepuDllCdu
ticket in the field, with the UNDER
standing thatthe Legislature shall
give one of the Scholarships to Ad-
dicks and the other to Higgins, or
a representative Of that faction
Right here is where the Dupont
men, who are stronger than the
followers of Mr.. Higgins will step
In and see that this compact, If

THE Wilmington Democrat says:
"When the commission was Demo-
cratic, the Republicans enjoyed the
same privileges, with the excep ton
of majority of the force, as did
their Democratic brethren, but it
appears that the Republicans In
tend to dismiss enough Democrats
with or without cause, to turn the
complexion of the machinery around
the city hall from Chief Dolan down.
The only way to stop this high
handed outrage is in the hope that
the Republican party will remain
divided. The Democrats can then
elect ma jority of the Legislature,
and thus effect the passing OF the
Rossell charter or charter that
will do away will all commissions.
Just consider one minute what
changes occurred during the adj
mlnstratiou OF a Democratic police
commission. Comparisons are some
times odious.

THE Sun says the Board of Edu-
cation has an elephant on It's hands
in the new High School. The
building is boarded up and it will
evidently remain sountil the Legs
lature gives the Board authority to
issue bonds to finish it. The school
is badly needed and some way to
finish it should be devised, or other
buildings may have to be fitted up
for school purposes until this build
ing is finished,
