THE butchers in our city are COM
planning Of another raise in the
price Of beef by the Meat Trust.
One butcher said he paid the high
est price wholesale for his supply
yesterday that he had ever paid.
The meat went up 81 hundred
weight, which means a great deal
tc the butchers, who have had hard
work to get their money out Of it,
for several months past. 1t means,
said the butcher, that numerous
small dealers will be forced out of
business. There is nothing like the
quantity of beef eaten now that
there was before the price went up.
Pork will he the next article in the
meat line to go up. Evidently the
Beef Trust is not much afraid of
the investigation now going on I'M
der the direction of the government.
The barons are laughing in their
sleeve and going on, adding a cent
2 pound every week or SO, and the
dear people are expected to pay any
price asked or go without eating
meat. What do they care, with
their large ice boxes, where the beef
will keep for an indefinite period
without spelling
OUR city should not lose the
800, 600 dollar plant which Rhoades
Il Sons contemplate erecting. But
the firm wants a portion Of Grant
avenue vacated 50 they. can get
railroad vacllities. City Council has
the matter in charge and would do
well to consider it thoroughly and
DO what is best for the city. Prop
erty owners have some rights and
80 have manufacturers, especially
when they own the land which they
are asking the city to vacate. A
few selfish men residents of Odessa
many years ago, when the engineers
for the Delaware Railroad were lay
Ing out that road, objected to the
road going through that borough.
The Railroad Company rams within
four miles Of it. The place is as
dead to-day as it was 40 years ago,
If not deader, while the town the
railroad runs through is good sized
place. This only goes to show what
few foolish men can do in a COM
Munity, when they set out to block
III enterprise,
IT is to be hoped that the brute
who committed the assault upon
Mrs. VIM. Ferguson, Of No. 26
Rockford Road, Wednesday after
noon, shall soon be run down and
made to suffer the penalty of his
unnatural crime Hanging is too
good for him. The woman was so
severely shocked and injured that
Mt first she was unable to give any
thing like an accurate description of
her assailant, which retarded the
officers greatly in their search of
the brute. 1t will not be the fault
Of our authorities if the man gets
away, as they have made a diligent
search for him. This is the first at
tempt of this kind that has taken
place in our city for years and we
hope it may be the last, with one
less of the brute nature swung out
OF the way. Such men are not fit
breath the same air us their fellow
beings.

! Mrs, ROOSEVELT, wife of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, very kindly re-
nembered the Grand Army Post
In our city by sending a handsome
bouquet of flowers to be placed on
the grave OF General Thomas Smyth,
who is buried in the Wilmington
and Brandywine cemetery. This
little act shows that she remember
ed the dead General although he
has been slumbering beneath the
green sod for many long year. 1t
shows that her heart is in keeping
with her position as being the first
lady of the land.

Cry COUNCIL has fixed on 81. 50
as the city tax rate ON the $108, the
same rate as last year. Instead Of
increasing the tax rate the assessed
value has been increased wherever
possible and by this 1t is hoped that
more revenue will be raised than
last year.
The city is in position where it
must increase its revenue and out
side of reality. Where they will
get ltthey do not knew yet but it has
to come from some other source.
Wilmington real estate is bearing
all the burdens it can and in fact
more than it should bear. Some
other source of revenue will have to
be looked up so as to enable the city
to meet its obligations and keep out
of debt
We should like to see the Repub-
licans run the city on business
principles and see what they could
do. They could not do any worse
than the manner in which the Mu-
nicipality has been conducted dur
ing the last six years. There can
be some retrenchments made,
which we are sure, would result in
a saving to the city ofseveral thous-
aud dollars year. At any rate we
should like to see the experiment
tried.
One of the bad leaks is the city
crematory which was to save our
city so many thousand dollars when
it was put up only q few years ago.
The Board of Health which was
a Republican, had the first crema-
tory built and operated it until it
became too small, when the gar
hage question was taken out of
their hands by Democratic
Council to make room for sew
eral henchmen. In a short time
City Council borrowed fifteen thous.
and dollars by bond issue which
was to save the city money. The
saving has never been realized and
the crematory is about played out
ami another one is needed and
badly at that. But City Council
has not yet paid for the present one
and they have no money on hand
! with which to purchase a new one
II they had another one would
have been purchased some time ago.
But the crematory is cinch as it
provides considerable work for nu-
merous of the faithfuls who get a
chance to repair it almost every
day in the year, 1t is always need
ing something and here is where
the Councilmen get in their fine
work. Wonder if it would not be a
good thing for the Attorney General
to start an investigation: We really
/ think 50.

The mine operators are bringing
1aborers into the mining districts.
Several mont union men We're brought
to HaZleton. Pa, on Wednesday
night. As soon as the operators
begin to work the mines, there will
be trouble and we look for the mill
tia to be called out any time. The
present strike is putting up the
price of coal to such an extent that
1t is q hardship to those who are
compelled purchase this necessary
article at the present time. Count
ing the time lost by striking, it will
require Il big increase in wages, be-
fore it will he made up in Il year or
even two years. Strikes are de-
plorable. as they often tend to en-
courage idleness and bad habits
among certain percentage of those
who, by enforced idleness, never
have the same inclination to work
when they can get it and the wages
are satisfactory.

The case against Patrick Fahey
In the Court Of General Sessions
will not come up before June 18th.
The Court notified John Biggs, his
counsel, that it did not want any
delay when the case was called for
trial. Some sensational develop
ments are promised when the case
is called. 1t will be brought out
what Mr.. Fahey had to do with
persuading Vansant to commit per
jury in the John Lynn case. Until
that time it is as well to withhold
judgment of the public on the merit
of the case. It does appear strange
that peculiar methods should have
to be resorted to, to commit men
who heretofore have borne good
reputation in the community where
they live. Still the jury before
whom the case will be tried, will
judge whether the accused is inno-
cent or guilty.

son why banks holding deposits secured
by government bonds should be obliged to
submit to this restriction. By canceling
the requirement he makes available the
S3O,OOOOOO which heretofore has been
held in the banks having treasury depos-
it's.
This expedient, in the opinion of many
bankers, will suffice to tide the New York
banks over the present emergency, though
many say it is difficult to see how it can
afford any permanent relief. The bank
ers of New York have been persistently
warned that i'll countenancing and abet-
ting the furious stock speculations Of last
summer they were inviting just such an
emergency as that which has now devel-
oped. With the added drain on their re-
sources resulting from the call for money
for 'crop-moving" purposes they have
been caught, and unless the present strin-
gency teaches them a lesson they will
be caught again and in the same way.
The treasury has on deposit with vari-
Gus banks scattered throughout the coun-
try from Maine to California and from
Minnesota to New Orleans, in round num-
bers, $130,O00,O0O, against which they
have heretofore been compelled to hold
more than $3O,O00,OOO of gold or it's
equivalent. This decision will release
that much reserve and $30,OOO,OO0 addi-
tional credit

rested in ST. Louis.

Through the confession Of Hugh
O'Neill and Walter Mcnamara, serving
seven-year sentences i'll the penitentiary
at Jefferson City, Mo-, Postoffice lnspec-
tor Dice caused the arrest of five persons
in ST. Louis on the charge of having rob-
bed Oscar Koelling, a mail carrier, of a
pouch containing registered mail valued
at $4,000 on the night of Dec. II, 1901.
Those arrested are Jack Flicker and Tom
Commit, employees in the city registers
office; Jerry Kahler, a saloonkeeper;
Jerry Creedon, known around town, and
Emma Higgins. O'Neill and Mcnamara
confessed that they and John Durney
and Jack Flicker knocked down Mail
Carrier Oscar Koelling and stole the reg
istered mail pouch. One month later
Durney was killed in a saloon fight. After
the robbery, they said, they drove to the
house of Emma Higgins, where the
money was divided and then burned the
pouch and papers in Kahler's saloon.
