Not So Easily Bought.

The Courier has received an invl-
tation to a banquet to be held at
Denver on the evening Of February
End. This banquet is to be given
by an organization called the Repub-
lican club OF Colorado, and is to be
given to the Republican editors Of
Colorado. Now editors the world
over like to be filled up occasionlly,
and this will be quite temptation
to them. The Courier, however, has
very grave suspicious that the mo.
tives prompting the givers of this
banquet would not bear investiga'
tion. At any rate we would advise
our fellow editors to stay their stom-
achs in some way, long enough to
investigate the matter before accept
ing the invitation. We are all deep
ly interested in success at the polls,
and this cannot be obtained by en-,
couraging counter organization in
our party, especially when we are in
the minority, as at present. In fact
We believe it would be political sui
eide to divide our strength in any
such manner. We, as republican

alism, for q divided party is always
defeated party. The Courier is
proud Of the record of our present
state central committee, which under
the able direction Of Chairman Ford
has simply accomplished wonders
for our party in Colorado. Since
the election we have travelled extens-
lively in the east, and every where re-
ceived congratulations on the result
in Colorado, for it swelled Mr.. Nc
Kinley's popular vote over 1895
moas than any other state in tn 9
union. While in Denver recently,
We were shown cougratulatory let
ters from leaders of the party in the
east, which were enthusiastic in their
praises of the conduct Of the cam
gaign in this state. For continu-
ance of the methods which have ac-
complished such results, we are
heartily in favor.
A plan which we endorse is that
Of the advisory board organized by
Chairman Ford and his associates,
to raise the necessary fund to make
a winning fight. 1t is thought that
it would be better to have one thou
sand men give $40 each than for one
man to give $4,000. A large mem
bership is desired, representing
every county in the state 80 that no
charge can be made that few men
are controlling or debating the or
gsnizatiou or policy of the party.

represented on this advisory board

SouvenIers Of Youth.

"Webster,' observes MIR. Bryan in
The Commoner, Vol. l, No. l, "de-
fines commoner as one Of the COM
mon people," Among the Greeks"
he continues, 'hoi polloi' was used
to describe the many, while among
the Romans the work 'plebs' was
employed for the same purpose"
What delightful memories of
youth these sentences awaken in the
mind of every reader who has enjoy
ed the advantages of the American
college! They recall to him the days
when he, too, was gladstone sopho
more striving for the plaudits of his
fellows in the literary society, and
hoping to be rewarded with the ap.
proval OF the instructor in English
composition.
Mr.. Bryan's next article appeals
to smaller class of readers. "Jer-
emiah," he says, gave to literature
beautiful and striking figure"
Then he quotes the well-known text
concerning "living waters" and
"broken cisterns," and proceeds to
draw his moral.
Every preacher will rerd that arti-
Gle with a tender smile, for it must
recall to him his first sermon. He
will remember how, as callow d.
vinity student, he labored over that
sermon, and clothed its theological
walls with flowers Of poesy, and how
proud he was when some congrega-
ton consented to hear his effort.
Whatever may be the political or
financial success of Mr.. Bryan's pa
per, its first number will be read
with interest by many gray haired
men, because it will bring back to
them their youthful intellectual Of
forts. Its articles are built on the
good old sophomore plan. First,
the definition from the dictionary I;
then the classical or scriptual illus
trations to give the flavor Of scholar
ship; then those reflections which
seem SO new and valuable to the ju-
venile mind endeavoring to adjust
itself to the facts Of the universe.
Such moralizings are platitudin-
GUS now, but it is good to Hee them
again. They are the familiar friends
of boy hood, "when all the world
was green and every lass a queen"
As we read them we forget that their
author is more than 40, and has a
son who will soon engage in his
fathers delightful exercises.
The American people are very kind
to children. In fact, We enjoy the
reputation of spelling them. The
persistent youthfullness of Mr..
Drydu ueu1di pioCooooos 90 NAoSiOo
ed in his speeches and writings, has
undoubtedly done much to win him
sympathetic tolerance. His mental
limitations also explain his failure to
secure the management of great pub
lie affairs. The American people
are very willing to be amused by
clever sophomores, and to applaud
them to the echo. But when serious
work is to be done they look for
men, with mems thoughts and mems
ways Of expressing them. And they
see in Mr.. Bryan only an overgrown
boy-a good boy and bright boy,
but still a boy.
His ingenious discourse awakens
pleasing memories of youth, but it
does not inspire confidence in his fit
ness to guide the destinies of MS
tions.-Chicago Inter ocean.

WHO OWNS THE LAND?

Patriots of '76 Failed to Get Rid OF
One Glass of Lords, the
Landlords.

"Who Owns the Land?" was the sub
ject of an interesting lecture delivered
in the Grand Opera House last night by
Professor Lee Francis Lybarger under
the auspices of the Henry George Demo-
cratic Association. He declared that the
people owned the land and that all
titles to land rested on force.
Private property in land he said was
Il modern invention and the land would
eventually 90 back to the people. The
patriots of '76 hated lords and were
determined to get rid Of them but failed
to get rid of one class, the landlords,
against whom all other lords pale into
insgniiicancc. They, the patriots, en-
deavored to get rid of titles but left
the worst Of all, land titles.
Free Land, Free Competition, Free
Trade" will be the subject of Professor
Lybargcrs lecture next Sunday even

WILL RENEW
DISCUSSION

1t is expected that the Board of Edu.
cation will, at its meeting tonight, con
tnue its discussion of the matter Of
dismissng from the public schools Of
the city all nonresident pupils.
The matter was taken up ut the last
meeting and heated debate took place
over n motion made by Mr.. Fraim that
all nonresident publis be dismissed
after that week.
Mr.. Morrow In view of the fact that a
bare quorum was present, moved to lay
the matter over to the next week and
his motion prevailed.
1t is understood that Mr.. ODonnell
will tonight present formal resolution
embodying the matter of dismssins all
nonresident pupils, excepting, however.
those who are nearly ready to graduate
from the High School,
1t is expected that there will be Il;
large attendance Of members and de-
cided action is looked for.
At the last meeting Dr. Frantz strong
ly opposed dismissing nonresident
pupils who were nearly ready to gradu,
ate from the High School. He held
that Il bad law was sometimes better
violated than obeyed. There are said
to be thirty-four out OF town pupils at
tending the High School.
Mr.. Morrow will present amendments
to sections 80, "a, 35, 36 of the bylaws,
increasing the salary of the secretary
from $4O0 to $500, treasurer from $500
to $1,000 and superintendent from $1,000
to $1,000.
The resolution has caused much pub
lie comment and it is said that certain
members of the board who are candi-
dates for reelection will strongly OPP
pose it.

not burning and that it was escaping
from both burners.

FELL FROM
A TRESTLE

Robert Z. Arnold was brought to the
police station in the patrol wagon from
the west yard about 10 O'Clock last
night in rather serious condition.
He had deep cut on his forehead
and another near his mouth and com
planned of severe pain in his back.
His clothing was drenched and he was
shivering with the cold.
The wagon had been sent to the west
yard in response to call from the p,
w. 4 b. yardmaster's office.
Arnold, according to the story he told
the police, made II narrow escape from
drowning
He started from Newark, Del, yester-
day to make his way to Newark, N. j.
He had one or two drinks and while
crossing the railroad trestle over Mill
Creek slipped and fell through into
the water.
The water was over his head and he
started to swim and at the same time
called for help.
A number of men heard his cries and
hurried to his assistance. They quickly
pulled him from the water. He was al
most overcome with cold and would not
have held ont much longer.
The men discovered that he was badly
hurt and helped him to bind up his
wounds. Three of the men, strangers to
Arnold, took pity on him and in order
that he might reach Wilmington carried
him for about a mile to the west yard
Railroad men were told of the plight
Arnold was in and message was sent
over the telephone to the yardmaster's
office Mt Third street, which in turn
notified the police.
Arnold is about 25 years of age and
is from Norwich, Conn.
The police sent him to the Delaware
Hospital.
