LETTERS FROM The PEOPLE
Wants lustIce for Mannlnr

To the Editor OF the Evening journal.
Sir: Can it be true. Mr.. Editor, that
certain of the trustees of Delaware Col
lege are trying to oust one of the pro-
fessors because he made an effort to
secure several hundred thousand dol
lars for the college? That is tine state
ment in the papers, and if it is true, |
think the press of Wilmington should
show it up, as it deserves to be.
Had the professor secured the money
and good site it would have meant
the removal of the college to this city,
giving it a wider field of usefulness,
but he did not succeed. Now, what
ever work he did was done from a
laudable desire. 1t would have given
the college a splendid opportunity, and
would have been a desirable thing, at
least in the eyes of Wilmingtonians.
For this crime CD certain of the trus-
tees are about to punish him-$6O0 is
to be taken from lhis salary in order
to force him out of the faculty. / do
mot know this professor. but | under
stand that he is thoroughly competent
and has always taken great pride in
the college. Can it be true, as is re-
ported, that a certain CLIQUE of the trus-
fort of Professor Manning put down as
crime against Newark? If So
fear for the future of the
college with such contracted views.
DO these trustees think that the
members of the Legislature from
Wilmington and adjoining hum
ldreds will not remember the way they
treated a man who was open and frank
enough to speak and work for Will
mington with honest intentions?
The State helps to support the col
lege. An appropriation of $4,000 was
granted at the last session. They will
probably want more in the near future
But the deplorable point i'm the whole
matter is that our State College should,
by the action OF the trustees. so seek
to stife all free speech and action on
Questions as to the future of the COL
lege as to virtually say to the body Of
Learned and intelligent men composing
the faculty: you hold your positions
only on condition that you keep your
mouths shut on all questions relating
to the welfare of the college,"
How can the young men who are be-
ling educated there have the broad.
manly American way of looking at de-
batable questions and treating oppo-
nents honestly and fairly with such an
example as this set them by the trus-
tees. I am not interested in the in
dividual affected. but / enter my pro
test against such action on the part of

templated Nicaragua route was through
IA chain of volcanoes. some Of which
are active. and the fear of the conse-
quences that might result from seismic
disturbances had weight. While that
route is farther north, and would thus
lessen the distance between the
ports of New York and San Francisco
yet this saving of time would be lost
by the length Of time which would be
consumed in passing through a cut Of
its length. The general sentiment is

President necessarily is at all times a
political quantity. Whether he is at
his desk in the White House, OF at his
home proper or travelling from one
place to another for recreation, he is
an object of interest and Importance
in the consideration of all matters
political. That crowds will gather to
greet him wherever he may stop Is Of
course certain, but that he will seek to
play upon them by any spoken words

agined when we learn that Cleveland,
Hill and Bryan were invited to be

his faithful followers were present.
When Organism appeared on the scene
Democracy held as its first duty the re-

What Mr. Cleveland had TO say had

what Democracy must avoid but was
wary OF laying down a policy to be
pursued He thinks the party must

what these errors are. Mr. Cleveland
intimates that they consist in the
