A MATTER OF sELECTION

"There will be no extra session. ex-
sept upon the written pledge Of twenty
seven Republicans to meet in caucus
and abide by its result"
So says the Dover State Sentinel,
which is owned in whole or in part by
Addicks. and which comes near TO
being the organ OF our gold-brick gov
srnor
Then, unless Addicks abandons his
night for a senatorship, there win be
no extra session OF the Legislature. for
there are seven good, staunch and
true men who win sign nothing which
carries with It the remotest possibil-
ity Of the election Of the adventurer.
I'VE had rather see the meanest, the
most unfit Democrat in Delaware in
the Senate Of the United States, than
the defeat OF those principles that un-
derlie the Constitution" continues the
Addicks organ.
1t is merely matter OF choice. II
the AddicksItes rather would see two
mean and unfit Democrats elected
than two good and true Republicans i
is their lookout and the Regular Re.
pubilcans cannot pretend to rule theil
actions. 1t would not be the first time
that mean and unfit Democrats had
been elected under Addicks auspices
The present Fahey administration IN
this city IS an Addicks, rather than a
Democratic, product. But for AddiclIs
and his truculent followers the Repub-
licans would have carried the city two
years ago and we should not have q
deficit of more than 100000 confront.

State that they have the outspokon sun

Few practical politicians seemed dis

1t may be said without fear of con-
tradiction. that the weakest part OF
the Democratic city ticket nominated
on Saturday afternoon is the council
manic branch j. Harvey Whiteman,
the candidate for mayor; William f
Kurtz, the candidate for city solicitor;
William l.. Hamann, the candidate for
city treasurer, and the two candidates
for assessor and collector are above
the Democratic average. But when il
comes ITO the councilmanic candidates
including the president, seven men who
occupy seats in the present City Coun-
ell have been nominated for re-elec-
ton in the face of the fact that they
have conducted the city's affairs IN
such a manner during the last two
years THAT a deficit OF more than $780,
600 is the result These nominations
viii weigh down the entire ticket, and

FOR DEEPER WATER

Colonel c. ". Raymond, the engi-
neer in charge of the government work
in the Delaware river and bay. ex-
cepts to criticism OF the manner in
which the several projects are being
carried out under his direction He
says that such criticism is unjust, and
that everything which circumstances
would permit has been done towards
obtaining a thirty-foot channel. and
every effort to meet the increasinl
demands Is being exerted by the de
partment. Discussing the matter OF
the disposition OF the drcdged material
he says that for nearly two years II
has net been placed within reach Of
the tides, and characterizes as false the
statement that It is deposited in some
parts OF the river SO THAT it drifts back
into the channel. In his opinion the
work Of the thirty-foot channel could
be done in seven years. and it would
cost s6,OOOOOO.
The engineers pronounce as false the
assertion that the channel at the Dan
Baker shoal is now only sixteen
and a-half feet deep, and say there Is
good twenty-five foot channel at
that point. Within few years il
has changed its course, and is now
further from the western shore than
Il was originally.
Maritime men in Philadelphia are
urging Councils to pass the ordinance
carrying with It an appropriation of
100000 for improving the channels OF
the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers.
in the schuylkil from South street
to the Delaware, and in the Delaware
near Schooner Ledge, fChestet.
Anything done by Congress or Coun-
ellis to deepen and widen the channel
.of the Delaware above or below this
point will benefit Wilmington, and we
hope that when the next River and
Harbor bill is passed it will contain
liberal provisions for money to carry
out Colonel Raymond's projects. and
also the appropriation needed to bulk
head the Christiana river and render
permanent the dredging work now be
ing done in our local harbor
