A MATTER OF BUSINESS SENSE

II strikes us that there is a great
deal being said regarding the Welsbach
lighting contract, or contracts, that is
Incorporate and unwise 1t has ex-
tended to virulent criticism of the con-
duct Of certain of our Officials, who are
endeayoring To conduct the affairs OF
the municipality. There is no evidence
whatever to SHOW that Messrs. Melvin
and Johnson have any motive in en-
tering into the modified Welsbach
lighting contract, other than the citys
interest. The same may be
said Of the conduct of the
City Solicitor. The lives Of these men
stand for something, and, at best, their
official acts can only be questioned on
tho basis of expediency. We think they
are right and believe that much of the
abuse which they have had heaped
upon them is due to the fact that they
have failed-to protect the interests OF
certain persons.
1t is best to frankly state the whole
case, and leave the matter to the
Judgment of the people; but the
matter cannot be cleared by lengthy
adjectives or insinuating epithets.
There were Those who hoped that from
all this agitation the Welsbach con-
tracts would be set aside, and the
lighting of the whole city given to the
electric lighting concern. On the other
hand, it is probable that the Wells
bach people would have been delighted
TO have been the sole contractor in
furnishing city light.
IL looks now as though both con-
Germs would participate both contracts
running iOr six years. We believe this
condition is approved by our people,
and that they will not lose their heads
because a contract has been lost, mis-
placed, purloned-call it what we will,
II anyone can solve the mystery sur
rounding the ten-year contract we
shall be greatly pleased, and If i'm
proper conduct on the part of anyone
is shown, we shall not attempt to
shield him; but after all, as a business

tract now under consideration. II
should be executed at once, since it is
to our interest
It occurs to us that certain news
paper criticism loses its force because
OF an utter lack of discrimination. OF
ficials are abused every time their ac-
tion runs counter to the views Of GER
tain editors. There is no discrimina-
ton between question of judgment
and criminal malfeasance Criticism
to be needed must be just The scoun-
drel must be lampooned, but the mar

One of the most prominent of the
ten men in the list of eligibles select
ed from Kent and Sussex counties by
the Regulars from which Addicksites
should select a United States senator,
said to the editor of this paper a few
days ago that he was heartily in favor
of the proposition, that it was the only
sure thing to do, and that he had al
WAYS condemned the "Addicks or no.

And now it is said that the Prince

papers. We have an affable air that
they like; this was shown when Arte-

he was touring this country: "Wer,

why don't you have the nerve to

April 6, 1902, will go down in his

A FINE ANIMAL.

One Of the finest horses in the city.
now in training is one owned by L. M.
Miller. The animal is very large
and handsome bay or brown, of the
Wilkes & McGregor stock and shows
that it has fine strain of blood in it's
veins.
The stallion gives evidence of hav-
ing great speed and will doubtless
prove everything which it's owner ex-
poets of it. The animal has good
motion and although it has been
driven under Driver Hays care only a
short time it has done some good work
on the track In speaking of the
animal Mr.. Hayes thinks that it will
trot mile in less than fifteen in the
course of year.
Saxby the name of the animal, is
only three years old and considerable
time ahead of it to prove high class
animal Mr.. Miller is quite proud of
his possession and expects to give it
his best care and attention in devel-
oping it into one of the very best hors-
es in the state.
