Referring 10 the great railroad trusts
the Chicago Tribune says:
San issue of tremendous con-
sequence is thus being brought
TO the whole country. It 10
matter for conjecture II these
railroad and financial manipu-
lators comprehend what this is
sue is. The failure of full and
effective government regulation
which the roads have so far
succeeded in breaking down
means government ownership,
nothing less than that. And to-
ward Just that conclusion the
combinations are forcing the
country. It win be great mis-
take to suppose that the pres
ent patience of the people with
the growing domination of
monopoly is test Of what the
public temper will always
prove to be-"
What right has the Tribune to ICON
tribute to the dIsquiet of the peopIer"
What right has the Tribune to seek
to make the people discontented?'
What right has the Tribune to "at-
tack propertyP"
Does not the Tribune know that
trusts are indispensable to progress, -
that consolidation IS the decree of
Destiny" that q railroad octopus for
the United States of America Will
make us what we so long haye wished to
be-''a world powerP"
The Tribune threatens government
ownership, which the Tribune and 9TH
or republican newspapers have 80 often
denounced as populist fallacy. What
is the world coming to when 80 strong
a republican newspaper as the Chicago
Trlbune finds it necessary to raise Its
voicein protest against monopoly and
so far as to threaten populist remedy
for republican disease?
Can it be that after all there is evi
in the trust system? Can it be after al
that consolidation and destruction OIL
competition are not good for the public
welfare?

to get the road there, still, il it missed
his county fifty milss, he would con-
tinue to work for it's success, beca use
IL would not only help the places

Many of the other delegates showed
their Willingness to aid the roae, no

Time and time again fhe suggestion
has been made that safety-gates be
placed at the approaches to Third
street bridge, but the Levy Court has
left the matter wide open. and their alb
sence constitutes a standing public
menace. This is the busiest public
bridge In the city. 1t has to be turned
for nearly everything that comes up

serve the convenience of the immense
amount OF vehicular and pedestrian
traffic to and from South Wilmington

GENERAL WILSON

General James III. Wilson will suffer
none In public respect and esteem by
reason Of the present silly attacks
being made upon him by the Addicks-
ties. His good name and fair fame in
civil and military life are established
too firmly TO be affected to their detri-.
ment by the twaddle OF the Addicks
cabal.
His latest offense in the eyes OF this
coteaie is that an artist--not Chalfant,
but Barry-has painted a portrait Of
him and placed 1t on exhibition in a
Philadelphia art gallery His previous
offense was that as chairman OF the
Republican State Committee and a
member OF the Republican National
Committee. he raised his voice and
cast his vote in opposition to any rec
ognitlon OF Addicks.
For the benefit OF these Addicksltes,

Military Academy, where he graduated
IN 1860. He was assigned TO the corps
OF typographical engineers and served

was made frst lieutenant. In 1862 he
was engaged in the Port Royal expo
ditlon and served in the bombardmen,
OF Fort Pulaski. He was acting aide
de-camp to General Mcclellan and took
part in the battles OF South Mountain
and Antietam.
AT the end OF the year he was made
lieutenant colonel OF volunteers and
served as chief Typographical engineer
to the army OF the Tennessee untll
1863 and was active In the siege Of
vicksburg. He was made captain OF
engineers and brigadier-general of
volunteers. In 1864 he was placed in
command OF the third division OF the
cavalry corps OF the Army OF the Po-
tomac. In October OF that year he was
placed In command OF the cayalry OF
the military division OF the Mississippi
and did great work. being active at
Selma. Columbus and Macon. At The
latter place he was made major-general
OF volunteers. At that time he cap
tured i've cities. 2ss guns and $3.50
prisoners. including jefferson Davis
He was breyeted major general OF the
United States Army Later General
Wilson moved to this city. He was
a delegate to the National Repub-
lican Convention. and later was made
chairman OF the Republican state Cen.

There is no desire on the part of gas
consumers In Wilmington to have the
WilmingtonCo Coal Gas Company made the

argument that the Oxy-Hydrogen OF

and not for practical purposes. Many
Wilmingtonians have much money in
