CITY BONDS WERE REJECTED.
A Flaw in Advertisement for the Election
Vitiates the Sale of the Bonds
And the Taxpayers of Houston Will Again Have to
Vote Upon the Proposition of Street
Paving Bond Issue.

Yesterday was the day and IL o'clock
noon the hour designated for the sale Of
the 100000 of bonds recently issued by
the city for paving and sewerage pur-
poses. S240,000 to be used for paving aud
$4,000 for sewers.
II was thought that every safeguard pos
slble had been thrown around the issue Of
these bonds, aud that every precaution had
been taken to Insure their validity
They had been submitted MS the law
requires, to the attorney general, the high
est legal authority in the State, and had
stood the test Of his approval hut with
two objections raised by him, which lie
finally waived, as he said he did not coa-
slider them Of sufficient force to abso.
lutcly invalidate the bonds
One Of these objections was that In so
much as the bonds provided for both paw
Ing and sewerage. the amounts should have
been separated ana the two issues, one for
paving, the other for sewerage, should
have been voted upon separately.
Tho other objection was that the cleo
tion for the bonds had not been advertised

10 submit a bid raised the further objection
that the rate of interest, per cent, was
rather low TO insure a ready sale, but this
was simply an opinion and was not urged
as a positive objection TO the purchase OF
the bonds.
At the hour OF sale there were present at
the mayors office the following prospective
purchasers: G. 3. Gillespie of Gillespie X
Cullum of Dallas! w. y. Chew Of HouN-
ton. and Sherwood & Robinson of Houston.

finance committee that they had intended
purchasing or bidding for the bonds, but
that at the last moment they had received
an opinion from counsel which raised the
question that the last notice calling an
election for Those bonds. advertised aud

on April s, had run only nineteen full days,
exclusive of the first day Of publication and

states that the advertisement shall run

THE STRIKE

The great steel strike continues. and
now that negotiations looking to a
peaceful solution have failed, the
parties at interest have settled down
to a stubborn contest, every hour of
which will intensity the bitterness and
render compromise more difficult It
is hard for the average man to I'M
dersiand the particulars of the diff
Guilty. There is no contest over hours:
there is no demand for higher wage
This being true, there is some wonder
as to what It is all about
Resolved ITO its last analysis, it is a
contest between the amalgamated asso-
citation and the steel trust. Union la
Dor is seeking to bring all operatives
within the scope OF its influence. This
will not be denied, since no other mo
tive has been expressed. The trust.
while recognizing the association and
operating under its scale. refuses to
put itself in position whereby It will
compel its employees to join the union.
With the contest thus resolved, the
people Will be able to pass judgment
upon the justice and wisdom displayed
by the respective parties to the contro-
versy.
The one thing to be regretted in the
contest is the loss OF millions in wages.
and the consequent depression in all
lines OF business. II means that great
contracts will go elsewhere, and
strangers will reap a benefit which be-
longs to us. There is further consid-
Grafton, when such work goes abroad,
other work is apt to follow, and that

and helpless will feel the pinch of
hunger; the women and children will
hear the burden OF someone's selfish
ness and wrong-doing.

THE TWO MACHINES

In the last analysis a corrupt politi-
can machine is organized crime. In
stead OF being political" it is crimi-
nal. The machine backs policy and
policy backs the machine in every di-
vision. Gamblers are protected and
pay for their protection into the treas
airy of the machine Lastly, the inno-
cence OF the children and the virtue OF
women are both put on sale in foul re-
sorts and these in their turn pay toll
and provide the base and revenue from
which the virtue of the ballot box is
attached
All these things hang together. The
machine rOts all It's price is not only
civic virtue, but social purity. If poll
ties are corrupt, an else will be cor
rupt. II good men and women condone
machine rule because zone politician is
as good as another" and, after all,
he is no worse than the rest" what
good men and women CAre really con-
doning is the unutterable villainy Of
resorts such as the Law and Order SO
ciety has exposed and the barter and
sale OF women and girls that the barter
and sale of votes may be possible, the

wax rich.-Philadelphi Press.
This extract from an editorial of one
Of Americas staunchest Republican
journals shows the depth OF depravity
Of the machine in Pennsylvania. 1t is
mild in comparison with the actual
facts. Every decent paper in our neigh.
boring city is giving forth utteranees
OF the same tenure. The conditions
there show the possibilities of organi
cation when shameless methods are
allowed to assert themselves fora con
siderable period. The spectacle is OF
vital interest TO Delawareans. The
machine in our State is allied to that
of Pennsylvania. They have Joined
forces because they are kindred spirits
There is something more than senti
mental alliance. 1t is an active agree
ment of mutual support. which had al

From Milford News and Advertiser
The horny-fisted son OF toll who has
felt that he had a friend into whose
eyes he could look and pour out his
woes, will feel a pang akin to despair
when he learns that the champion of
the oppressed and the defender of the
rights of labor, has journeyed hence
and will be seen no more in Delaware
till the political tree blooms again.
John Edward O'Sullivan Addicks has
rome, vamOOsed, taken his departure
and fed. No more may the bewhisk-
cred agricultmist take him by the la
Oels of his coat and ask him for aquar-
ter on account, the balance to remain

church display his piety in impressing
the philanthropist of his needs, col
lective and personal. John Edward
has fled, and with him hope has gone.
Senators and other amateur statesmen
have taken to fishing to drown their
grief-and themselves, IL they are not
more careful. Editors sit in such deer
detection that they are not aware OF
the presence of mosquitoes. Some are
so distracted that they even tel the
truth occasionally; and there is a lam
entable conditions generally. The

A friend makes the suggestion that
probably this paper has unintention-
ally done Detective Ratledge an injus-
tice in commenting on the neglect OF
various officers to arrest the Milford
murderer. We do not wish to do any
one an injustice, and we have no
doubt that Mr. Ratledge was sent on
his mission too late to accomplish any
thing. The blame attaches to the local
authorities. and, perhaps, the attorney
general delayed sending an officer, UNI
der the belief that those at hand would
do their duty. 1t was mistake.

NEW PAPER OPINION
Should Get Out

Should Get Out
From the Delaware Ledger
There is some talk OF Governor
Hum reconyening the Senate to con-
firm the appointments that he has
made. IL looks as il there is some
doubt about the next complexion of
the Legislature. If the Democrats
carry the State at the next general
election, and the appointments are
not confirmed there would be many
changes. Then the Addicks Republi-
cans are somewhat anxious to have
both houses of the Legislature con-
vone, as they believe the senatorial
question may be settled. There seems
to be but little chance of this, as the
late movement of Governor
Hum and others to Sc
cure the vacant senatorships. seems TO
have dampened the ardor of many
Union Republicans. Schemes are now
being laid to capture the State at the
next general election. Those who have
office viii make q desperate fight no
retain control of power.
Tho people are very tired of deadlock
Legislatures, and there will be a
.hange at the election Of 1904. Mr.. Ad-
dicks should either step down and out
or throw his influence TO some good
Republican. "Addicks or nobody" Is
dead. The old principles and old men
which have proved failures and useless
must be cast aside. The people de-
mand that there be "a change. and
when the great power Of a party set its
seal of disapproval upon anything il
must go.
