Tho Union Republicans Of Della
ware are in an unhappy state. They
have been publicly iepudiated by
President Roosevelt, and now Governor
Hum has turned his back upon them.
This double blow falls upon Union
Republican with terrific effect. 1t
leaves that disreputable political organi-
cation more deeply discredited than
ever, and dependent absolutely for its
future existence upon the coirupting
power of money. The recognition
accorded 1t by the Republican National
Convention has been absolutely null
lined, for this recognition is now re.
pudinted by tie President of the
United States and the governor OF
Delaware.
Only money can maintain the orRani.
2ation OF the Union Republican party.
When the money fails, it will drop TO
pieces. The money supply will keep 1t
going, but the expenditure will have to
assume enormous proportions, as those
who have been receiving pay in the
past, will not remain satisfied with
existing rates Of remuneration. Like
Oliver Twist, they constantly ''cry for
mere"
We'll, the sooner the money supply is
exhausted, and the corrupt political
organizations falls in fragments, the
better 1t will be for the politics and
the mora's of Delaware.

should Make Expenses Good.

The Wilmington Fire Department has
ever been 1t the service Of smaller places
within reach when the latter were
threatened by devastating fires, and
ever will be. But there is,a nhase of
this outside service that those VINO
benefit thereby should give attention To.
The services Of the local fire apparatus
at fires outside the city are always at.
tended with certain amount of ex-
pense. There is the wear and tear on
engines and hose, the damage to hose
by heavy water pressure, and coca.
sionslly loss Of material. At the ire
in Salisbury, Nd, on Sunday. at
which two companies OF the Whining
ton Fire Department did splendid work.
these two companies sustained a loss Of
two sections Of hose and suction.
1t is but fair that the communities
which receive the services of the vii.
mington fre-tighters should repay the
companies Tor losses such as these The
services OF the men are given freely
and without a cent of cost. But il
should not be expected that the com.
panies shall, In addition, bear the ex.
peuse Of renewals made necessary by
these services.
We are sure, onos tho matter Is mo.
scented to them, that all outside places
which hereafter may profit by the pro
tertion Of the Wilmington Fire Depart.
ment will'act upon this suggestion.
