The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1900-06-01


toward the REpUBLIcANsb should first
consider the erratic course OF that
paper since it was first launched
on the public. 1t never had any
definite policy and was edited for
revenue only. Ithas always blown
hot and cold. 1t was first started
as Republican paper, then chang.
ed its editorial policy to the Demo-
cratic camp; then, not finding that
a paying venture, the POLICY was
ag ain changedto so-called Repub-
njournai, and now it attempts to
tell Republicans what they should
do Its wobbling course reminds
us Of the quotation: "What fools
we mortals be-" The REPUBLICAN
has no apologies to make, as none
Of its owners have ever yet been
accused OF voting the Democratic
ticket and then writing Republican
editorials. Does the leopard change
ito spots? For answer we would
refer our readers to the erratic
course of the Journal in its 10years
career. No Republican sheriff,
or any other office holder, does
now, ever did or ever will, edit the
columns Of the REPUBLICAN. 1t is
for the success of the Republican
party and never has yet been "the
fox after the sour grapes. The sher-
if Of New Castle county has to per-
form his duty. A sale must be
properly advertised, and because
the Evening Journal is not favored
with the sheriff's printing, itshould
stop throwing sour grapes until the
refuse receptacles are placed i'll
position.
The corruption OF voters IN our
State is reated by many newspa-
pers as though the practice was Of
recent origin. Every editor should
know that this is not the case.
Ever since we knew anything about
the affairs OF our State, the mem.
bers Of each party nave used all
the money they could get. Not only
were all partisans in the State tax
ed. but appeals were made to
friends in New York and Philadel-
phia. BY this means the Demo-
Gratis preserved their ascendency
for years, and it was only through
failure of their Doodle that they
were defeated. Notwithstanding
the recent pretentions OF great vlr-
tue by many politicians, there will
be at the coming election demands
for money that will appal the can
didates and their immediate friends.
We suppose the funds will be used
Tor legitimate purposes, but that
word Legitimate will be made to
cover a multitude of questionable
practices. This has been the case
for over SO years and it will donbt-
less be the case to the end Of the
chapter.
THE Republican majority in the
House Of Representatives is so
small that the party has nothing to
.brag about There are not more
than 20 Republicans in the House
whose seats were gained by plural
tiles not exceeding 1000 votes. In
. some cases their majority was less
2 than one thousand. The Republi-
cans will have to bestir themselves
at the coming election, even if they
4 do elect their President, to insure
s him the support OF both branches
In Congress. In the whole House
Of 357 members, the Republican
ajority is only about IS, and three
Il of these at least were secured by
Z expellihg Democrats and giving
: their seats to Republican. contest
ants. The Republican party will
not have a walk.over at the conn ng
election,

We should suggest to Mr.. Hogan
who complains about the poor &C
commod atoms of the Delaware City
hotels to furnish meals, that he
start first class hotel in that city.
He is now applying for saloon Ii
cense, which in his opin ION is need
ed there. Others say that another
place for the sale of liquor in that
city IS not needed nor wanted by
the citizens. They think two hotels
are plenty to accommoda ate the peo-
pile with drink.

NO INCREASE LIKELY
In THE PRICE OF ICE

There are no indications at present
that point to an increase in the price
Of ice in Wilmington.
Il was thought by many that the
raising Of the price of the commodity
by the Ice Trust in New York and
other large cities would affect the price
here, particularly as the natural pro-
duct is not plentiful.
It is said that ice In the ponds along
the W. & n. railroad was also spoiled
for house use by cinders from the en-
gines of that line freezing in it.
On May / there was a meeting of the
representatives of the various local ice
companies at which 1t was decided not
to Increase the price Of ice this season.
Should there be a noticeable scarcity,
however, later in the Summer. there
may be another meeting held by the
representatives and an increased price
agreed upon.
Last season ice sold at 40 cents per
100 pounds in bulk, and so cents in
pieces, which prices are now in effect.
