BE FAIR ANn EoulTARLE

Heretofore the relations between the
Wilmington machinists and their en-
ployers have been friendly and cordial,
and the present labor trouble should
be approached in a friendly and busl-
nesslike manner, for it resolves itself
into the plain, business proposition:
Can the companies which are stand
ing out afford to grant to the machin-
lists a nine-h0ur day and ten-hour pay
The officers of the Harlan and Hol-
lingsworth Company and other corpo-
rations and firms assert that they can
not They assign as their reasons that
they compete with the outside world
and not with other local concerns, and
that such competition reduces the mar
gin of profit to such proportions that
they cannot grant such a concession
without serious financial injury to
themselves.
Nearly all contracts now being per-
formed were taken ON the basis OF a
ten-hour working day at the prevailing
rate of wages, hence II must be appar-
'AA ~ Nh' on mus AAtlAAAAAioln anu an
others that the looping off of an hours
work in the day of every maohinist en-
ployed means a serious item at the end
Of each week in the amount Of worh
performed, and also in the amount oil

adjourned this Spring the Regular Re
pUblicans voted for fifteen different
Republicans. and formally offered TO
vote for two Addicks men other than
Addicks himself Still the Addicks
contingent refused the prohered com
promise. and prevented the Republic
cans from seating two senators at one
blow. Now, without considering the
fitness OF Addicks for a seat in the
United States Senate as the represen-
tative of Delaware or the various
other grave questions which his incur
sion into Delaware politics raises, but
looking at the Addicks followers mere
ly from a party standpoint, how can 1t
be said-that they are Republicans, or
deserve any aid. comfort or recognition
from Republicans anywhere? If the
Addicks movement has helped any
party, that party is the Democratic
party. The Union Republicans have
wrecked the Republican party Of Della
ware, and they display the utmost eff
frontery in seeking aid or recognition
from Republicans. If the national adj
ministration should grant any favors
10 the Union Republican faction. the
president would thereby give his ap-
proval TO party wrecking and the
"hold-up' practice.
Public sentiment throughout the
length and breadth of the land is de.
cidodly opposed to President Mckinley
giving any recognition or fayors what
ever to Addicks and his party-wrecl1
ers. There is no occasion for it, even
from the standpoint OF practical poll
lies, for President Mckinley is on his
second term lie has received from
the American people the highest homo.

Important duty 10 perform. Il will be
TO rid the city OF the Democratic adj
minlstration which Addicks ard his
party wreckers inflicted upon them
TWO years ago by setting mp an inde-
pendent ticket TO defeat George w. Bush
and the other Republican nominees.
For two years the people have suf-
fered the consequences of that reckless
piece of political folly, and now is their
time 20 rectify Il. The Democratic adj
ministration has been incompetent, ex-
travagant and undignifed. Mayor
Fahey Is not running again, hence it
win be impossible for the voters to
measure out their resentment against
him; but a majority Of the Democratic
city councilmen are on the ticket once
more. and every one OF them should be
defeated
They have produced deficit of more
than 100000.
They have rendered an increase OF
the tax rate necessary.
They have increased the bonded in
debtedness Of the city
They have given nothing in return.
The anairs OF the city must be re-
duced 90 a business basis, and efficiency
and economy must be restored. It can
not be done by re-electing men who
have brought about such desperate con
ditions. It can be done by defeating
them and electing Republicans who
have due regard for the interests o.
