NEW WSPAPER OPINION
The Useless Aldermen

From the New York World.
Mayor Low, with his temperamental
optimism, counsels that the Pennsylva-
MIA tunnel franchise, which was sand
bagged by the aldermen, be "taBen up
in good-natured, sensible way" with
a view to a satisfactory compromise,
and the officers of the railway COM
pany announce that such an effort will
be made.
This is all right, but the fact re-
mains that by its course in this matter
the Board OF Aldermen has again DEM
onstrated the apparent impossibility of
electing a local Legislature" that is
honest, intelligent, and useful. 1t
would be difficult to point to one
single act of the present board, even
with its nominal reform majority, that
has been OF the slightest advantage to
the city. When such a body is not af-
ter spoils or Doodle it is usually ignor-
antly and obstinantly obstructive of
public improvements.
lt has become a serious question
whether the next charter amendment
should not provide for the abolition of
the aldermen.

TRAPPED AGAIN

We said yesterday that we could
not undertake to run down all the
falsehoods printed in the Sun, but we
could not resist the impulse W nail an
other; It was SO easy.
That sheet the other day claimed
that DR.. Ball was offering the marshal
ship TO Kent county Union Republi-
cans in exchange for their support for
mis- denomination. We printed positive
denials from the parties accused. We
did not ask everyone fer a denial, but
everyone asked gave IL, and it was
printed in this paper
Then the sun repeated it's story,
and added that the postmastership u
Smyrna had been offered ny DR.. Ball
to A. l.. Hudson. Unhon Republican,
in exchange for his support. Well. we
decided to have Mr.. Hudson interview
ed. and his statement appears in an
other column. No more emphatic de-
NAL could have been given, and Incl
dentally Mr.. Hudson pays his compli-
ments TO the Sun. He adds something
that may be regarded as a boomerang
FOR that sheet. Union Republican as
he is, he thinks Dr. Ball will be re-
nominated.
The Sun has not only told a false
hood, and reiterated and amplifed it,
but it now feels the force OF its reae-
tion. II hasn't made much out Of it's
falschoods this time.
Evening journal., 1902-07-26

Delaware Life this week has a strik-
ing cartoon representing the hand of
ono OF our prominent lawyers squeeg-
ing out dollars, the majority OF which
drop into his private receptacle and
the remainder in the city's Golfers. It
is striking, but not altogether fair in
ats suggestion. The offender is not
tho lawyer, who naturally chose to
make fees when they came his way,
but the officials who had so little re-
gard for the public interests as to farm
out the claims Of the city against GER
tain corporations. II is only fair to
place the blame where It belongs.
There has been much misconception
over this matter. and in justice it
should also be said that these con-
tracts, carrying these enormous feet
were not made during the term OF the
present city solicitor
