THE numerous articles which
have appeared 10 the REprBLluAN
day after day, have begun to call
forth protest from the people.
The high tax rate has checked the
building boom. The supply Of
small houses does not equal the
demand, nor will It next year by
200 houses. The increase in taxes
means an increase 10 rent, and this
will only be hardship to the work
ing people, who, IN the end, pay
all increases in food and rent
Never has there been a time for
years when real estate was so hard
to dispose Of at fair figure. Per-
sons with money TO invest do not
care 10 buy or build real estate IN
Wilmington while the tax rate IS
so high. The assessments in six
cases out Of ten have been put out
OF sight, in some cases being a
third more than the property would
bring at apublIc sale. With build
ing al standstlil, business is new.

KEARNS' FRIEND,
NOT MANAGER
Billy 0'Meara's Status is
Officially Defined.
REMAINS AT CAPITAL
UNTIL SESSION ENDS
DiScharging All the Duties of
Assistant Senator.
Especial to The Herald.)

Washington, D. G., Feb. Ex-senator
Kearns and w. p. O'Meara exhibit
considerable annoyance over the state
ment, sent out in these dispatches, that
Mr.. O'Meara had succeeded Joseph
Lippmann as the senatorial manager
The term manager" seems to be OBJ
noxious to the senator, who declares
that he IS able to manage himself. 1t
is reported here that some of his east
ern political associates have limited to
him that he will lose caste if it becomes
known that he is managed, and this
may account IN part for his present
aversion to the managerial idea.
Senator .Kearns and Mr.. O'Meara
both protest that NJ. O'Meara is Wis
iting the senator simply as a friend
Notwithstanding the denials made by
these gentlemen, the statement made
BY your correspondent that Mr..
CTMeara had been installed in the posi-
ion made vacant by the retirement OF
Mr.. Lippman was secured from trust
worthy sources, and ali subsequent
events confirm the assertion Mr..
O'AIeara is dOmiciled with the senator
at the Shoreham and has announced
that he Will remain here until the enc
of the session. They are usually TO-
gether at all public places. y Meara ic-
companies the senator to the White
House, 80 the departments and TO tne
capitol building and seems to be giving
energetic attention to the administra-
ton of Utah affairs. 1t is also SAID
that his advice concerning the dlstrlb-
ution of patronage will have much
weight with the senator.
Whether here as friend" mentor,
advisor. cicerOne, guide, companion,
agent or manager, Mr.. O'Meara is APP
parently discharging the duties that
would naturally devolve upon an as
sistant senator, the duties that were
expected to be performed by Manager
Lippman, according to the salt Lake
papers.
Mr.. O'Meara said toni-ht:
Wrong impression regarding my Wis
it to Washington has toeen gained
am here simply as a visitor and am
not doing anything to assist Senator
Kearns in any way He Is an old friend
of mine and 1 am indebted to the sen
ator since my arrival here, more than
he is to me- He is perfectly able To
take care of his own interests any
where. I shall spend my time for the
next few weeks between Washington
and New York.
