sTATUE no mr.. BAYARp.

A/ERY gratifying indeed is it to Deawareans
that the movement for the erection Of
statue to the late Hon. Thomas f. Bayard has
progressed so far that before many months
handsome memorial to the dead statesman will be
placed in Rockford Park
The State has been singularly lax in honoring
her eminent men in either civic or military life,
and we have few memorials that are credit to
the city to the State. The handsome statue
will be one OF which the whole State may point
with pride, and it will be fitting tribute to the
memory of the deceased.
Judging from the high positions he attained in
civil life, Mr. Bayard was the most distinguished
citizen that Delawares history possesses He
was senator for many years, and was a leader
of his party on the floor of the Senate when his
party was in the minority For four years he
was the Secretary OF State, and for four years he
held the most important foreign post in the gift
Of the government
AS a political leader in his State his skill may
be judged from the fact that his party turned
from majority TO a minority when the leader
ship passed out of his hands The city and the
State can we'll afford to be glad that it shall have
such fitting tribute to the memory OF so notable
a man and son of Delaware.

thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-

licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam

such a case as this the Supreme Court

1t Us only by having responsibility
forced upon them that the people of a

decide wisely on great issues. It is a
remarkable fact that in the canton of
Zurich, in switzerland. where the OBJ
ligatory referendum is the law, and
where every citizen is required to vote
thousands Of blank ballots are cast by
those who do not desire to be troubled
about law making, and the average
vote Of the whole people Of Switzer-

OF qualified voters our people need to
be educated in matters relating to the
effect of laws on the public welfare
For instance. the great city of Glas'
gov, in Scotland, meets its entire ex-
penses by the income from public utili-
ties which the municipality owns and
operates.
The franchises which our common
Councils grant so readily should all be
voted upon by the whole people before
they become law. Only the citizens Of
a municipality are capable OF deciding
justly to what uses the streets Of a
city shall be put and because the citi-
zens Of Glasgow are wise, and prudent.
and capable Of managing their own mu-

MONDAY NIGHTS acoNvENTIoN."

M ONDAY evening, in this city, is the time
4 and place for holding the so-called lad
journed State Convention by certain men who
persist in calling themselves Union Republicans.
1t is believed that the convention" will not be
attended by any who expect or desire 70
hereafter be identified with the Republican party
Those who will be most prominent at the meeting
and control its action will be those few men who
made thousands of dollars by working hold-up
game on the Republican candidates two years
ago, and also more money last year by giving the
Democrats control of City Council
In the list of delegates and others who attend
the convention" Monday evening, which we ex-
pect to publish, there probably will be put few
men who care anything for either their political
reputation or the welfare Of the Republican party.
Chief Justice Lore heartily approves Of the
proposal of President Jason OF the State Colored
College, TO hold a convention to consider the rea-
tons of the negroes with crime in this State The
Chief Justice points out that very large per
centage of the criminals at the last term of court
were not residents of the State at all Yet their
crimes are charged up to the negro race in Della
ware. This is where the harm is done and the
colored people at convention could dwell en-
phatcally upon that point They should see that
the public knows that they are not responsible for
the outbreaks of crime and have no no sympathy
with the criminals. The respectable colored peo-
pie should make relentless war upon the vaga-
bonds and criminals of the race. That is the one
crucial point, and the only one that should inter
est them at present
