There were two legitimate paths
open to our Democratic City Council.
One was to make the tax rate high
enough TO meet the expenditures; the
other, to make the expenditures low
enough to meet the tax rate II pur-
sued neither path. and the result is that
the city's bonded and floating indebt-
edness is increased nearly 100000.

many Of those which were wounded
were clubbed to death by boys.
1t is an outrage that such gross
cruelty should be legalized, and that
'Claymont or any other decent COM
munity should be made the scene Of
such brutal exhibitions of skill with
firearms and clubs.

Two things are essential to Repub-
lican success in this city in June. One
is that good men be nominated for the
several offices, and the other that no
attempt shall be made to foist slate
upon the Republican voters at The pri-
maries and that the nomination cleo
ton shall be clean and honest in all
respects. Wilmington is naturally a
Republican city, and If the campaign
is managed properly no difficulty
should be experienced in redeeming it
from Democratic mismanagement.

Lord Lansdowne announced IN the
British House OF Lords yesterday that
Russia and Great Britain had agreed
to withdraw their troops from ihe dis
putod territory at Tien-Tsin. and re-
acrFe the question OF title and proprle-
taFy rights-fors future examination.
The foreign ministers at Pekin are
working in perfect harmony, and
everything "a progressing satisiactor-
lily. The, questions remaining to be
decided are the nature Of the guards
along the line of communication with
the sea, and the razing of the forts,
which, being purely military matters,
tle generals will decide and win report
their decisions to the ministers.
1T is generally believed that Russia
will procure a secret, treaty with
China" says a. Pekin correspondent OF
the fLondon Daily Mail, fully estab-
l.shing her prior claim to the disputed
CONCESSION at Iien-Tsin. Unfortu-
nately this dispute is only an isolated
iastRnce Of the friction Of interests be-
tween the two Powers. The other in
stances have not obtained such promi-
nence."

One thing may be said truthfully
about our Board of Park Commission
ers. That is that it does its work with
an eye single to the public interest.
For this reason the people are satisfied
that when the $4,000 provided for its
uses by an act Of the recent Legisla-
ture becomes available, it will be ap-
piled where it will do the most good,
and serve the greatest amount OF pub
lie convenience and pleasure. City
Council should sanction the loan pro-
vided for in the act, and enable the
commissioners to begin the work OF
improvement and extension as quickly

The Los Angeles Times of Saturday has a special telegram from Washing there is to be a new governor for Ari- zona at an early date. The dispatch bears all the ear-marks of inspiration from Arizona politicians. The editor of the Times is, of course. glad to give publicity to anything refiecting on the governor, for ever since Governor Murphy refused to surrender his views on the arid land question to please the editor of the Times, the governor has been dearly hated by that paper.

The Prescott Courier denies that it Is dead, and we suppose that it's state ment should be taken as prima facie evidence of the fact. Comes this great Prescott paper. endorsing St. Sharles and his attorneys. This is pretty tough on the combination, and we protest that the Courier's support in that re- gard is something that we are not in tentionally responsible for. Nothing could be more helpful to The Republi- can than to have the Courier publicly standing in with the gang to which it gives it's allegiance. If St. Charles and his contingent hirelings can stand it. we certainly have nothing to complain of. It is to be expected that this Pres colt publication and few other popu- listic, .enterprising" papers will at all times take sides against The Republi- can-regardless-as they are jealous of the popularity and influence that this paper enjoys.

 There never was a system" worth using. And here is a touchstone which may always be applied to the absurd pretensions of "tipsters' and pro phets'' and devisers of systems" who insist that they have discovered eff fective methods of heaping up fort unes by gambling in stocks or on races. on cards or dice, or roulette or bacca- rat or bridge whist-if these geniuses have sure things" why don't they pile up riches for themselves? Why should they give other people the ben eft of their discoveries? Are they philanthropists? Not exactly. Most Of them are impudent swindlers of the Miller Syndicate" type.

Pamphlet histories of the mint were distributed. Then MT. Limantour gave to every one of the delegates a sou venir silver medal. On the obverse the Mexican Herald tells us, is an ale gorical design in relief of the Ameri- cas with the inscription "Concordia ct Lahore" on a scroll. On the reverse is the inscription "Segunda Confer encia n-Americana, Noviembre de 1901. Visita de los delegados la casa de moneda de Mexico.''

It seems to be the opinion at Wash ington that the postoffice department will have considerable POSTOFFICE difficulty in putting ru- SALARIES. ral free delivery car
 riers in the classified service when the president orders it. It is predicted that in certain sections of the country the pay of these car riers must be increased to $500 year. This applies particularly to the north ern and northwestern states. In the south it does not make so much differ ence, because of the more favorable climatic conditionb. One Minnesota representative said the other day that he had had four resignations at one place within four weeks
 These men found it impossible to continue in the service on account of the great expense. Each of them IS paid salary of $500 a year and travels from twenty to thirty miles a day. When the country is level and the roads are particularly good the daily service can be performed with one horse. Where the routes are located in slightly hilly, or rough country, two and even three horses are needed. It costs a lot of these days to keep two horses, and there is a proportionate in crease wher three are kept
 The item of winter clothing expense Is large factor. too, in the northern states. The government furnishes nothing but the necessary equipment and provides neither horses nor cloth ing. In the southern states the car rier can wear his ordinary clothing all the year round, and is therefore not put to the etXra expense, and the cost of keeping horses is probably not So heavy as in the northern attitudes.
 It has been suggested that graded

WANTS LOWER FARES.

At some time the question of renew ing the franchises of the traction com panies of this city will have to be taken out of politics. It cannot be kept for the use of politicians who seek to hatch out majorities every year or two as farmer raises chickens by setting the same old hen on the same old nest The voters will not consent that the question of securing the best transpor- tation on the streets at a Scent fare shall be complicated with the prepos- terous and impracticable plan of mu- nicipal ownership. The people do not want to own the street car lines and the city cannot furnish the money to buy street travel which any corpora ton can provide. and they want it for 3 cents ride. That is all they want They do not want to own and run the lines, for they know that a corporation can perform the task much better than a city official gang machine could per form it.-Chicago Chronicle

salary list to suit the varying condi- tions be adopted, and this may be de- cided upon by the department when the question presents itself.
 There are many places In the west ern country where the salaries fixed by law for postoffice employees are in adequate. In the Phoenix postoffice, for instance. the low salaries have been the chief difficulty in the way of giv- ing a satisfactory service to the pub lie. Changes in the personnel of the force are going on almost constantly, the reason being that clerks frequently find that they can do better in other employment, the scale of salaries in the postoffice being below those pre- vailing with business enterprises re- quiring help of the same grade.

PUNCTUALITY WON.

A life insurance agent who resides in i this place deserves great credit no, only for the energy and persistence with which he pushes his business, bu, for his punctuaiity in keeping engage ments. He had been after a man who resides in Anita for the past two years, and had received some encouragement He called one day last week, and when the man saw the insurance agent ap- preaching he ran and hid. But the in- surance agent had caught a glimpse ( f his fleeting form and was not to be foiled. He finally smoked his man out and told him he had come to talk .n- surance.
 ''I am too busy" said the man, "calI i again when I have more tirne.'
 When may I call, then? Set your own time, and I'll be there. The man thought a moment. then made reply:
 You may call next Friday morning at o'clock.
 ''I will be on f.me''
 When the appointed day arrived our. indefatigable insurance man arose ac ( 1:3O o'clock and walked to Anita, q dis tance of nearly five miles, arriving; there at 2:55. He sat down on rro porch and waited until preciseiy 3 o'clock, then rang the door bell
 Whats wanted?" inquired a female voice from an upstairs window
 ''Is MT. Jones at homer"
 He is.''
 Tell him to come down light away l have some very important business with him.
 MT. Jones hustled down stairs in his night shirt. and there was the life in surance agent
 ''l have called he began, Gas you re- quested, to talk life insurance"
 Jones was somewhat astonished and bewildered, but realizing that he WIS up against it. said:
 Such punctuality deserves to be re. warded. I surrender"
 And he gave him his application for policy.-Punxsutaw Spirit.
