MEANS A FIGHT.
Reply OF Captain Walter Blair to
Proposition to Buy or
Sell Trade
OF CRESCENT AT KE0kUk
Carnival City Packet Company Will
Take Columbia to Illinois River
Next Month.

Thousands for defense; not one
cent for tribute" was the reply tele-
graphed by Captain Walter Blair of the
Carnival City Packet company TO Cap
tain ID. NJ. Swain in reply to a message
from the latter stating that he would
sell out or buy the Keokuk- Quincy
packet trade for $4,000 This means
that the war will be prosecuted to- the
bitter end not only on the Mississippi
river. but also at Peoria. The David
Swain is now running in opposition to
the Silver Crescent down the river and
the Columbia will next month be sent
up the Illinois TO compete with the
Fred Swain between Peoria and La
Sale
Captain Blair Talks.
Discussing the situation, Captain
Blair said:
IF Captain Swain would simply run
his boat and attend to business
wouldn't have a word TO say, but
when he circulates stories that
he is in the field because we
had agreed to sell the Silver Ores
cent and the business to him and then
broke our contract, it is time for us to
do something He is circulating re-
ports among the papers in Keokuk and
Quincy and | want to say unqualifiedly
that any statement that the Carnival
City Packet company ever bargained.
contracted, or agreed in any manner
whatever TO sell the Crescent and her
business to Captain Swain, is absolute
~ false And as for buying him out,
we will never pay him a rcd cent. In
the first place he hasn't a thing TO
sell. and in the second place when any
one attempts to fight us in such a man
ner we intend to fight back and stay
in the fight to the finish, even if il
hurts.

Il am going to Peoria tomorrow to
make thu trip between Peoria and
La Sale on the Fred Swain, which is
owned and operated by the Swain
Packet company. and see what arrange

MAKE 1r A RousINa MEETINo.

THE first formal gun Of the campaign in Della
4 ware will be fired at the Opera House in
this city tomorrow evening, when the Republi-
cans will hold rally to be addressed by Hon.
John Dalzell, OF Pittsburg, and Alexander Nc
Intosh, celebrated eloquent campaign orator.
Mr. Dalzell is a forceful and entertaining
speaker We trust he will be greeted by large
audience that desires to hear the issues of the
campaign discussed
Mr.. Dalzell will speak to the members of the
reorganized and reunited Republican party. He
will be the first to bring message from the Re
publicans of the nation to the one party in Della
ware. This is itself novelty and let us make
the initial public mass meeting of the reunited
and triumphant party a great ovation.
Republicans can signify their interest in the
campaign and in the success Of the party by
turning out in large numbers. 1t should be an
old-tme Republican love feast and mass meeting
such as used to be held in Wilmington years ago
Mr.. Dalzell can talk straight from the shoulder
without fear of treading upon any ones toes.
Mr.. Dazell will doubtless speak of the issues
from a national viewpoint. The fact that noted
orators are coming to Delaware this year shows
that the Republicans from outside Of the State
are interested in Delaware and want the vote Of
Delawares Congressman in the next lower house.
We believe they will get it. But the majority for
the Republican ticket should be Overwhelming.
If we are able to get a substantial majority when
the party was divided, much more should that
majority be now that the Republicans have but
one emblem and are all united under one banner.

JASON A WISE LEADER.

DRES1DENT JASON. of the Colored State
4 College at Dover, has issued call for a
State convention of colored men to consider the
condition of their race and especially the out
break of crime The letter of President Jason is
about as sane and sensible thing as we have read
in a long time. The statements of Chief Justice
Lore that large percentage Of the criminals con-
vcted in the New Castle county court at the last
term of court were vagabonds without residence
in the State should open the eyes of these colored
men,.
The crimes of the vagabonds reflect unjustly, to
be sure, upon thousands of law-abiding negroes in
Delaware. and they should emphasize the point
that the race is not responsible for these rowing
criminals. .elr
President Jason has taken the proper view of
the question, and the colored people should rally
around him. Only the short-sighted or foolish
will pay attention to the rantngs of would-be
sensational colored preacher like Thornton, of
this city The negro wants peace instead Of
strife or trouble and by following the advice Of
such leaders as President Jason he will get it.

rHAr ouERRILLA TIcKET.

VAT Z notice that some colored men and others
Wv propose to have series Of mass meet
ines throughout the county in order to boom
guerrilla ticket which has been nominated Tor the
purpose OF defeating the Republican candidates
IN the county and il possible, defeating part OF
tho legislative ticket
Those who are engaged in this movement
should think well what they are doing. The Re-
publican party is united A guerrilla ticket can
not win The ghost Of an organization that is
behind it viii be wiped out at the coming cleo
ton. There is nothing permanent about it. 1t
will crumble to pieces and those who are active
in II will be remembered as men who tried to
defeat Of the ticket Of their party for the sole pur-
pose OF turning the county over to the Democrats.
The Democrats are anxious to see the so-called
Union Republican ticket kept in the field. They
hope that It will aid their own county ticket This
Is true but we do not believe the voters OF New
Castle have decided to hand the county back TO
Democratic misrule. The history of Democratic
misconduct in New Castle county is one that we
do not desire 10 see repeated. Rioting over re-
turns OF elections, extravaganza and high taxes in
the Levy Court, remembrances of the old assess
ment and collection laws are not likely to fade
from the minds of those who recall the Demo-
cratic days in New Castle county, and the things
that accompanied them. New Castle county has
a progressive spirit on her and this should be
continued. Let there be no set back by a return
TO the mire of Democratic control of the county.

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor Of the election of Republican
Congress-
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work Of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tions Of One Dollar each from Repub-
licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help us achieve a great victory.

HUGHES ON THE CORPORATIONS.

M r. CHARLES Z. HUGHES, candidate Of
1 4 the Republican party for Governor OF
New York, became the nominee chiefly through
the influence Of President Roosevelt The. Press.
ident realized that a strong and able man was
needed to combat the tendency towards Hearst
or any other man who would fight in supposed
opposition to corporation domination. Mr..
Hughes not the nominee or the choice of the
bosses or the corrupt influences that for so long
have dominated both of the political parties in
New York State. He was named in spite Of
them.
Candidate Hughes during his campaign, has
got off many good things that show the drift Of
the thought in New York as well as elsewhere
The other night in a speech he said: There is
no interest that has any line on me- There is no
person in political life, there is no person in bus
iness life and there is no corporation that can
give me orders / stand here entitled to say that
if there are corporate abuses it will be my best
endeavor to put an end to them"
How many candidates for the Delaware Legis-
ature are there who can stand up and say that
there is corporation that can give them orders?
We trust they will not all speak at once. We
have had men in the last Legislature who openly
boasted that they were the agents Of coroprations
and would look after their interests.
We quote the statements of Mr. Hughes merely
to show the drift Of though. against the domin-
ance of corporations and the determination that
they shall be sent to the rear. This sentiment
will be effective in Delaware as we'll As elsewhere
The political party that ties up to corporate dom
nation is certain to meet defeat in the future

Editorial Opinion
FARMERS ARE INTERESTED.


FARMERS ARE INTERESTED
Tho farmers Of Delaware are deeply in
tcrcstcd In the legislation which win un-
doubtodly be made FOR railroads by the
coming Legislature We believe that a
railroad commission would be Of great
benefit to not only the farmers, but no
railroads themselves in the near future.
There is a growing spirit an.agonistic 10
the railroads. which they viii do well TO
heed In Delaware, or # may lead TO
trouble for both In the end. We want no
socialistic ideas engrafted on Delaware
laws; but there Is just cause for the
people to demand more consideration at
tho hands OF the railroads Of their inter-
este. and right 10 the condolences of
managers OF that great artery which
means 50 much 10 them through market
ing Of their products. The people re-
member tho railroad taxation law OF a
few years ago. and how ii was settled;
and they also remember that the railroad
was itself surprised at the final result.
These points all have bearing upon the
legislation which Is to come. There is but
one way to accomplish things as you
would have them, and that Is, TO nominate
men whom you know. and whose integ-
r'ty is above question; and then vote for
those men who have shown their attitude
to these matters that they may be able
to bring about the results desired.-Mil-

PROGRESSIVE MERCHANTS.

TIL HAT such large number of our citizens IF
u Wilmington should visit Baltimore yes
new store of Snelenburg & Co., was indeed de-
served tribute to David Snelenburg of this city,
who becomes manager of both the Wilmington
and Baltimore stores of this immense concern
The firm Of Snellenburg & Co. is one of the
largest in the United States. It's progress has
been slow and sure and steady from small busi-
ness IN the lower part Of Philadelphia to immense
stores IN several cities. 1t is the kind Of growth
based upon merit and skillful management. Mr..
David Snellenburg will, without doubt, be as sue
cessfui with the Baltimore branch of the bust
ness as he has been with the Wilmington end
he IS progressive and up-to-date manager. and

vance made individually and by the hrm.

The Kent County Republican Committee is in
session to-day. The adjustment Of the county is
one OF the matters to be considered by the COM
mittee. That there is widespread dissatisfaction
with the ticket as made two weeks ago, and that
it is in imminent peril is known by everyone ex-
cept those few leaders (?) who prefer to have
their way than party success. 1t is to be hoped
that the crazy pilots will be pulled from the Wheel
that party loyalty and common sense will prevail
and the causes of the trouble be completely elimi-
mated.

Our Democratic mathematical experts are busy
figuring out that if some thousands Of Republi-

the party will be elected. This is self-evident

equals, or that the shortest distance between two

The local trolley companies still per-
slst in running the open cars on their
lines, and Just why the city authorities
do not rise mp and compel them 10 put
on the closed cars is more than can
understand. Hundreds CT people are
now suffering with colds as the result
OF riding through the cold night air on
an open car and there is no telling
how many cases Of serious sickness will
develop ont OF such cases. People who
ride do not do II for pleasure at this
time of the year. and they cannot stand
on the street corners waiting for The
few closed cars to come along. They
have to take the first car that comes,
and nine times out Of ten it is an open
car. The perslstency Of the companies
in running these death traps simply
shows their utter disregard for the pub
lie health. Respectfully yours.

Mean.

Chas NJ. Schwab, in a studio in
New York, was describing a very
mean dealer in pictures who had
tried to cheat him.
For meanness, said Mr..
Schwab, I can only compare the
man with u Loretto miser. To
show this mlser's meanness many
stories, more or less true, are told
of him. For instance.
1t is said that the miser once
lost near Loretto a pocketbook con-
tanning $1,000. The pocketbook
was found after some days by a
poor farm hand and he as soon as
he discovered the name Of the
owner returned it.
The miser, on getting back his
money, counted it again and again
and the oftener he counted it the
blacker became his scowl.
What's the matter?,,' said the
farm hand anxiously. Isn't it all
riSht?"
Right? No! growled the
miser. Where's the INTEREST,"
