THURSDAY, nARcH IS, 1000.

THE Sun says: 1.-THE Republicans
OF Wilmington can make up their
minds to one thing. the next gener-
al assembly will enact new char
ter tor the city. 1t is a Republican
city and ought to have a charter
that would give it Republican
government. The outrageous ap.
pointlnento of representatives in city
council ought TO be changed and in
this city where Republicans have
been ciamoring tor representation
according topopulation, they ought
to see to it that the city is repre-
scented in the Legislature by capa-
BILE Republicans and by enough of
them to secure what is needed. "
Yes, we need men to represent the
Republican party who are not
boodlers and who know their own
minds and who will not let every
shyster lawyer change their cpin-
ions and make them nothing but
creatures in his hands. Men who
have been at the head of the Re
publican party in Delaware have
always posed as icebergs and
therefore have been a detriment
rather than benefit to the party.
The rule or ruin policy should now
be pushed to the background and
a supreme effort made for RepublI-
can supremacy IN this city and
State.

IT j>thought by a,mc Of the news
paper men in this city that the
story about the slaughter OF 10000
birds near Milford, Del, is another
fish story. But it has served It's
purpose, it has called attention to
The wanton destruction of birds in
this State, and will DO good The
story has been peddled to all the
outside papers at rates satisfactory
to the writers. The report, never
theless, has stirred up the people
of this and neighborins States. a,
nothing that has happened in Della
ware since the advent Of Addlcks

THE New Castle City Council has
been harsh!y criticised for holding
star chamber sessions. This has
called forth explain atoms from City
Councilmen Schuhardt and Porter,
who said they were sorry the body
went into secret session, because it
has given bad impression to the
public. There were numerous real
estate owners who were unable to
pay their taxes for 1896. Even Col
lector Tobn said he felt himself
unjustly treated. He had collected
ST., PA. Go out OF possible collec-
ton Of less than $4,000 and for 1895
collected $l2, 800. Had the inspec-
tors of the election during his ad-
ministration pei formed their duties,
he would have collected more money
from the poll taxablcs. Men were
allowed to vote without paying their
taxes. He thought it only right to
protect the names OF people who al
ways pay their taxes, but who still
owe portion and are paying IS
they gan. This is plain language
from a Democratic collector and
shows that Democrats did not have
to pay their taxes to enable them
to qualify TO vote. This is the way
in which for years the county taxes
were collected in New Castle coun-
tv,

LoNG credits make things bring
big prices, often within a fraction
OF their full value. When the far
mers have their public sales in the
spring, they give from E to S months
credit on sums Of $50 and ever.
This enables them to procure what
they want and gives them plenty Of
time to turn thclrpurlhases, espec-
tally If live stock, into money before
their note comes due. The sales
have been well attended this spring
and good prices have prevailed TO
gladden. the hearts OF the owners
and auctionecrs.

Britain declines mediation as a
means OF ending the war in South
Africa, and, like General Grant,
will accept no terms but uncond-
tional surrender There is only
one conclusion, therefore. and that
is, the sooner the Beers surrender
the better. To continuethe contest
will cause useless slaughter, as
there can be but one result the

GENERAL MANAGER DARKER
He will PASS Through FL paso.

The private car of H. A. Parker. vice
president and general manager OF the
Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific rail-
road. which arrived in Ell Paso over
the T. & p. in charge of colored por-
ter. went to CarriZosa over the White
Oaks route this morning.
At Carrizosa the car will be met by
Mr.. Parker. who is coming overland
along the proposed route of the Rock
Island road from Liberal. Kansas.
1t is the general belief that the Rock
Island will be sure to connect with the
White Oaks road as it will give them
a short route to Ell Paso. just the
thing they have long been wanting A
prominent White Oaks official said to-
day that it was his belief that within
two months the work of construction
on the Rock Island connection with
the White Oaks would be commenced
and that before another year has rolled
around the toot of the Rock Island 10
connective will be heard in FL Paso.

been a crop of the japanese varieties
in the orchard except this year. The
spring of 1900 was usually favorable,
in the absence of the severe late frosts:
and as a result of this favorable spring
some of the varieties produced fair
crop. Occasionally, the spring is so IA
vorable that the main crop of blooms
is not destroyed by the frosts. but such
springs are the exceptions and not the
rule.
Enough has been done at the Expert
ment Station with the Japanese plums
to demonstrate that they are not
adapted to our climate. and persons in
tending to plant plum trees should
guard against investing their money
in Japanese varieties. There are pien-
ty of European varieties which are
success in the territory and anyone
wishing to inform himself on these
plums may do so by writing to the
Experiment Station at Mesilla Park.

under a great strain.
The evidence against him is very

troduced this evening.

He is charged with having stolen a
horse and revolver from Mrs. Bailey.

Two men were arrested last night

JAPANESE pLUMS
Experiments In Their Culture Made
In New Ne xlcO

As the time for buying fruit trees is
usually in the winter. the following
remarks may be timely and of interest
to those who intend to buy plum trees.
IL is to be regretted that. as a rule.
the Japanese plums which have been an
important addition to the orchard
fruits in other states do not fruit sue
cessfully in this climate on account of
the blooms and young fruit being de-
stroyed by the late spring frosts. Not
outstanding the fact that the Japa-
nese plum is adapted to wider range
OF territory than either the European
or native plums and while in New
Mexico the trees. as far as known.
thrive and bloom profusely. yet this
type OF plums does not fruit nearly so
successfully as the European varieties
OF those like Goes Golden Drop. Yellow
Egg, German Prune. Damson Wash
ington. and others of the same family
In the experiment station orchard at
Mesilla Park twelve Japanese varieties
have been tested. and since 1895 obser-
vations on their blooming and ripen-
ing periods have been taken All of
thse are good. heavy. and. with one ex-
ception. early boomers. The Ogon is
the only variety that comes near being
n late bloomsr. 1t usually bears a par
tial crop. The fruit. which is round.
medium. and yellow. drops badly Just
as soon as ii begins to ripen. The HUI
anhume. Satusma. and Kelsey are ex-
ceedingly early boomers. while the
Botans. Burbank and Hattankic are
slightly later. Occasionally a few
bloom escapes the frosts. but with the
exception of the Ogon there has never
