THE following editorial clipped
from the Morning News" of Will
ming, and given as a hint to the
property owners of that city, ap-
plies with equal force to the exist
ing conditions in many parts of
this town, and it would be we'll if
some of our property owners would
heed the advice given:
Perhaps no other city of the size
of Wilmington can show as many
defective sidewalks as are discov-
cred here. There are scores and
scores of places where there is not
whole brick left; in other places
there are holes or ridges. and in
still other spots bricks are loose.
or entirely removed. Some of these
bad places have been repaired re-
Gently, and it only requires a few
dollars and few hours of time to
make good the bad places.
The Street and Sewer Depart
ment has brought about such re-
pairs i'll a few instances, but that
body should make a general de-
mand for the betterment of the
sidewalks. This work is done at
the expense of the property-owners,
who should have enough civic pride |
to do their share in improving the
sidewalks. When strangers visit
Wilmington they are always i'm
pressed-and most unfavorably-I
with the slovenly character of the
everywhere. This should |
not be made possible, and it is a
reflection upon the city.
Recently several decrepit side
walks have been improved by the
substitution of cement paving for
bricks,and every new cement pave
ment is a permanent investment.
The first cost is in excess of the
cost of laying new brick pave
nent, but when the cement is once
aid properly it is there for all time.
Seldom indeed. does a cement
needrepairing and money
S thus saved by doing good work

VIZ have received a letter from
Henry Ridgly, Esq, the senior
counsel for Mrs. Powell, who was
sentenced to life Imprisonment for
the murder of Essie Albin, in which
he desires to have an impression
which has gone out, that the rea-
sou why the application for a new
trial was withdrawn was because
Mrs. PoweSSl refused to put up any
more money for her case. This is
a reflection upon her counsel that
has no facts fora basis,a as Mr.. Ridg
ley assures us that the only reason
why they failed to gress the appi-
cation was the mental collapse of
their client. In fact, Mr.. Ridgeley
now believes that they would have
been granted a new trial, and that
they would have secured an ac-
quittal.

THE "State Sentinel in sum
ming up the political situation in
the Republican party of Delaware
last week, said:
For eight years Regular Repub-
licans in New Castle County have
had the loyal support of Union Re
publicans for every ticket nomina-
ted. They have at this moment
every Court House office; the whole
control of the Levy Court: in fact,
every Office small and great through
the votes of Union Republicans at
a common primary. Moreover, this
common primary has been asked
for always by the Regular Repub-
licans of New Castle County-al-
most demanded by them, as right
"a thing they felt justified in ask
ing-and the sense of fairness of
the Union Republican party has
been such as to give a common
primary in every County Election,
knowing that as far as benefits went
they would have none of them. In
the meantime the Regulars of Kent
and Sussex would be engaged in
bitter attempt to defeat the Union
Republican ticket of their respect
i've counties. Further, while the
Regulars themselves of New Cas-
tie county were actually receiving
at home the loyal support of Union
Republicans, they would be send
ing money for a bribery fund to
Kent and Sussex to defeat the
friends of those whose assistance
they were invoking to secure sue
cess in their own county Are
not these things true? Is there
any shadow of variation from truth
in these statements If they are
true, is it rights it fair, is it
self-respecting game-one thateven
rOgues could eclipse?
Ifa common primary is good for
New Castle County, it is equally
good for Kent and Sussex. ftwo
parties and two tickets are best for
Kent and Sussex, two parties and
two tickets are logically and right
eously best for New Castle. The
Sentinel" repeats, that the end has
come when Republican factional
must be healed by an
appeal to the whole people with
united party, or an appeal to the
same high authority by two separ- |
arate parties with separate tickets.
The preservation of great and ben
efcent principles is better than
ephemera1 success.

ket street is laid with cement. It
adds to the general effect, and it is
an evidence of good Judgment upon
the part of those who have the work
done. While we are aware that
the Street and Sewer Department
is hampered in its general work by
the lack of funds, it is yet fact that
this excuse can not be offered for
the failure to call the attention of
careless property owners to their

deprives senator Ball of all voice
in the action of that body.
With the uncompromising lead
ers of the past out of the way. and
a sincere effort being made to get
together on one ticket, the way is
clearing.
Ex-senator Higgins was very
astute when he refused to be sent
as a delegate to the National Con
vention from the Regular" con
vention of Delaware. He recog-
nized the danger of such an act,
and the results that would follow
from a failure to get seats in that
convention. The fact grows more
plain that the Republicans can and

next election, and will as surely
win a clean victory at the polls.

THE farmers about Milton appear
to be alive to the advantages of
steamboat transportation, and are
planting largely of truck and vege-
tables to be shipped to the Phila-
delphia markets. The farmers
about Milford are losing annually
hundreds of dollars from the lack
of water navigation, and we earn
estly hope that they will soon
awaken to the great Importance to
them individually that steamboat
plying regularly between Milford
and Philadelphia would be. 1t
would mean more money for all
kinds of fluit, potatoes and farm
produce of all kinds. The small
gain to each individual would make
a large sum in the aggregate, and it
would be good business sense for
every farmer, be he renter or land
owner, to take a share in a steam
boat for this route. The CHRoNI-
Gle will subscribe for stock as
proof of earnestness in this belief.

THE political situation in Della.
ware is apparently clearing up,and
the outlook for the Republicans oil
the State to march to victory next
November with a solid front, is
more apparent to the close obser-
yer. For some time there have
been indications that the greater
part of the Regulars" or anti-Ad-
dicks Republicans, were not in ac-
cord with Colonel DUPONT or Gen
eral Wilson, the men who were di-
recting the policy of that faction
of the Republican party in Della
ware, and that they were not will
ing to sacrifice the party for the
sake of gratifying the caprice of
those who hoped to benefit by the
bolt of 1896. For several years
ex-senator Higgins has not been
in the confidence of those who dom
mated that faction, but the last
primary election has shown that
he and his friends compose by long
odds the greater bulk of that party,
and in the selection of a new State
Committee they were able to once.
more get control of its machinery.
Mr.. Higgins has rolled off the shelf
where he has been resting for sew
eral years, and he has landed on his
feet in the ranks of his faction.
This fact was clearly proven at the
recent meeting of the Regulars"
at Dover, when by vote of nine
to three a resolution was adopted !
that restricts the privilege to a vote
in that body to those actually mem
bers of the Committee. This cuts
out Senator Ball, Robert G. Hous-
ton and the other chairmen of tie
county committees, and leaves Mr..
Higgins friends a good working
majority. By this action the Hig-
gins forces come into full control
of the organization, and the pass
ing from the scene of General Will
son and his son-in-1aw, Henry
Thompson, as factors in political
affairs in Delaware is witnessed. i
accidentally Colonel dupont ceases

ollowing. The meaning of the

Political Larceny.

ROM he Hutchinson News.
In Miami county peculiar thing
has happened in politics which is be-
ing carefully concealed by the metro
politan newspapers. The republican
county central committee met and
called county primaries and conven-
tions. There was practically no OPP
position to the propositioninth the COM
mittee. Afterwards few men got to-
gether and called anoJher set of pri-
maries and conventions. This second
movement had DO more authority
to call a convention than it had to de-
clare war against China. 1t seems to
have been mel ely the plan of few
friends of Treasurer Kelly, who feared
he could not carry his own county and
would be at the state convention with
a hostile delegation. So they got up
what might be called trump" call
for a trump" convention, making no
pretense of authority or legality. OF
course this rump delegation expects
to be seated in the Wichita couven-
tion because Mr.. Hoch is for MIR. Kel-
ly. And further the trump" conven-
ton will elect a deli CATION to the con-
gressienal convention.
This looks 30 us like an outrage. 1t
is not even ''machine" but merely an
attempt at larceny. In the election
in Miami county in 1902 Mr.. Kelly
ran thousand votes behind his tic
ket, but that is no excuse for Mr..
Hoch and his managers to do a thing
which they know is wrong or to aid
and abet it by their sympathy and
help. Mr.. Hoch and MIR. Stubs
were given the power they already
have because majority of the repub-
licans thought they could be trusted,
but majority of the republicans of
Kansas are already wondering if the
new machine is not much worse than
the old machine. Mr.. Hoch and his
managers are on trial before the peo-
pie and their carly protestations for
'decent politics" will now come up to
accuse them. The grand orgy OF re-
venge upon which they seem anxious
to engage will be their own undoing
if they persist in it.

of the PHILIPPINES and the mastering
of another gathering company to en-
able Secretary Root to resume his
position as private citizen are like

and members of the cabinet visiting

why they cannot make their tours ac-

Senator Hanna, Ohio's greatest
man, died Monday evening at six
o'clock. He had been ill for some
time, first with grip and later with
typhoid fever, and notwithsta nding
the constant attendance of the most
expert physicians he failed to rally.
His death causes a vacancy in the
United States senate and also in the
republican national committee. The
legislature of Ohio is still in session
and his successor will be chosen as
soon as the funeral is over. His
death removes from the field the only
prominent MAI whose name was likely
to come before the republican ma
tiOnal convention as candidate for
the presidency in opposition to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.

School Troubles.

1t seems as though there has been
trouble brewing in district No. IL
ever since the first of January, when
one OF the patrons went to Kiusley to
attend court. The trouble finally
came to a climax on Wednesday,
February 10, as the pupils had set
that day on which to whip the teacher.
About the middle of the forenoon,
the school board, headed by Mrs. Ida
ellison and followed by every patron
of the school, came and took posses
sion of the school house. The teacher
was turned over to the five smallest
pupils, who proceeded to give him a
sound thrashing. and the teacher be-
gan to realize that it was the annive
sary of his birthday. While this was
going on the men were tearing down
property and carrying in boards to
lay across the desks to serve as
tables. Upon these the ladies began
to spread table clothes, and all man
ner of good things to eat. Then they
ordered the school to congregate
about the table, and passed them
every thing hungry man could wish
for, until all traces of hunger had
vanished, and most of the provisions.
After dinner, a visitor from the
north side of the river attempted 10
show the boys how to play ball. The
consequences were that he caught the
ball on his nose and lost a pint or so
of blood. The crowd left peaceably
without further mishaps, school was
resumed and all is we'll. Yet, the
teacher must admit that he was ''teto-
tally surprised"
