The evening Republican., 1902-06-25
THE Every Evening sarcastically
,avu. ssTt Is, caid rnOeraSS will ad-


Congresses that this country has
ever been afflicted with, the one
now in session at Washington takes
the prize. The people OF Delaware
may well congratulate themselves
that they are not represented in the
upper house of such body"
The Republicans of Delaware do
not feel that way. They would
much rather have two Senators than
have the State unrepresented as it
has been for the last four years.
It will not be the fault of the
Every Evening if the Republican
party does not come together and
elect two U. s. Senators.
The Every Evening reminds us Of
the fable of the spider and the fly.
The paper is the spider and the Re-
publican party the fly.
THE Philadelphia North American
is picking out Democratic Governors
for that party in Pennsylvania. The
North American predicts that if
George W. Guthrie, of Pittsburg,
should be nominated for Governor,
he will surely be elected. The In
dependent Republicans, the kickers,
will be sure to vote for Guthrie in
preference to Judge Pennypacker,
the Republican nominee. 1t re-
mains to be seen what kind Of a
Democratic majority any candidate
for Governor on that ticket could
roll up in Pennsylvania on election
day. 1t gives promise of being the
biggest political battle fought in
Pennsylvania for years. 1t will be
Quay against the Democrats and the
disgruntled Republicans.
THE annual commencement eXer-
cises of the Howard High School,
which took place in the Grand Opera
House last evening reflected much
credit on the Board Of Education
and the Instructors Of the school.
The graduates were not numerous,
but that is no reflection on the i'll

jealousy among certain colored per
sons, over the instructors Of the
Howard School and numerous arti-
cles have appeared in print, which
have not had tendency to advance
the education of the cOlOred chill
dren in our city. Still the pupils in
the Howard School make as good
progress as III any other colored
school in other States.
IT is hoped that when the Chester
base ball team plays in our city on
Thursday, there will be better or
der than at the first game played
here. There are plenty o. peo-
pie who like to witness well con
tested ball game, but they don't like
to hear all kinds of insulting re-
marks Go and enjoy the game;
root all you please, bat don't use
obscene language i'll expressing
your disgust at poor plays. The
Wilmington A. a. team is giving
our citizens good ball.
If by putting down the ducts il
our streets. the Telephone Company
can Obviate the necessity Of cutting
and disfiguring the shade trees il
our city, then the sooner all wireS
are under the ground, the better
every resident will be satisfied
For some time the telephone mel
have been busy cutting off the tops
of shade trees, especially in the
western part Of the city, to whicl
the owners strongly objected. Som,
of the trees have been horribly
mutilat"d and rendered nearly use
less as shade trees and made un
slightly to look upon.
TllF officials must have though
that tn tWo aIl"g"'l policy kings
Chadwick and Martin, were guln!
to try to skip out of the jurisdic
ton Of the State. The bail uude
which they are held is $1,000 ant
$1,000. Former Municipal Judge J
Frank Ball and Harry Joslyn ap
peared for the prisoners. They con
sldered the bail excessive and a,ke,
for a reductions but the Magistrat
was governed by what the Attorne
General said.
THE first muZzled dog was see
on Market street yesterday. Tn
animal hnI tp,.,,1 I,, t,, i,,.,,4l
respire and looked us happy as an
ordinary dog. His owner said Ii
thought it perfectly right and PROV
er to muzzle his dog, aud did &c
consider it Il hardship or cruelty t
dumb animals. He thought a
ounce Of prevention better than
pound Of cure.
THERE are numerous persons VIII
are indebted to the REPUBLICAN OF
flee who would confer IL lasting ia
VOr on the management if the
would send the amount of their II
debtedness to the office OF call W it

and better paper III the near futuI
and those indebted to MS can hel
Us accomplish this improvement.
IT took letter that was male
