To-NIaHr,s CONVENTION.

M T Is the plan of certain men, who, finding
\ they cannot rule the Republican party, want
to ruin it, TO meet in this city tonight in So
called convention for the purpose Of nominating
a county ticket The movement is headed by
the same men who put up a ticket two years ago
and were paid nearly ten thousand dollars TO
take it down. One of the men suggested for
place on the new Strike ticket was paid $500
two years ago BY the Republican candidate to
get out Of the way. The proposed ticket has
not the ghost OF a chance Of being elected and
the men behind it know It. il is hoId-up game
pure and simple, and the men who have been
identified with the Union Republican party. vot-
ing for it in good faith, are being used as a club
by the schemers to extort money from candi-
dates There are only few fellows who are in
the game and get share OF the swag or blood
money No decent, honest, self-respecting man
can allow himself to be party to such a scheme.
Nor do we believe the hundreds of Union Repub-
lcan voters will allow themselves to be used as
catspaws to pull the chestnuts out OF the fire for
the INSCRIPTIONS leading the Strike ticket
movement
There is absolutely cause for separate Re-
publican ticket and were the men backing it hon

names Of the men they propose to nominate to-
night before tomorrow night with the Republi-
can County Committee for the primaries the 29th
OF this month. The Republican primaries are
open and free. and If those men whose names will
be put up tonight were loyal Republicans and
acting in good faith they would participate in the
primaries and abide by its results.
Some Of the men in this movement while pos
ing as Republicans are holding office under the
Democrats. One Of them was elected by Re
publican body, but he is now holding another job
under and working with the Democratic boss of
Wilmington. His plan is turn the State, county
and city over to the Democrats. He is the one,
it is sad who does not want AddclSs continued
as the chairman Of the Union Republican County
Committee for fear he will not favor his scheme
to elect the Democratic ticket
Just what will be the outcome of to-night's
convention we cannot tell, but we do know that
the movement is in every way hostile to the Re-
publican party, and should not be countenanced
by any man who expects TO be recognized here
after as Republican.

UP no THE cUBANs THEMsELvEs.

JUDGING from the action of President Roose-
welt, it will rest with the Cubans themselves
whether the island shall maintain its independ-
ence. The President has sent Secretary Taft to
Cuba to make a thorough investigation Of condi-
tons there, and the report Of the Secretary will
greatly influence the course Of this country in its
future relations with Cuba. The President does
not intend at this time at least, armed inter-
vention. Whether it shall come to that later
depends upon developments. Cuba certainly will
not be permitted to become the hotbed Of revolu-
tonary schemes and prey Of adventurers
There may be some justice in the complaints Of
the rebels, but the Cubans should settle their
troubles without continual resort to arms
1t is a question of how much Of the revolution
ary sentiment was worked up by those who have
been fostering the rebellion with the sole object
of bringing about Intervention and ultimate an
nexation BE that as il may the administration
will insist that the Cubans must give evidence OF
their capability OF conducting some stable form
of government

During the first part of this sum-

Power Company and also the De'a-
ware and Atlantic Telegraph and Tele-
phone Company dug up the streets OF
the Ninth ward beginning at Eigh-
teenth street. and as far as Twenty
third and Market streets, i'm order to
install their conduits and after they
finished putting them in they gave
the streets. which they were obliged
TO tear up preliminary paving and
promptly afterwards. I think, about a
week or ten days after they took uP
this preliminary work and re-paved
the entire work in a substantial and
workmanllke manner. putting down
substantial foundation and using tar
and Stag In the paving work, which
made a first class job in every particu-
lar, and the residents OF this section
have nothing but words OF praise for
the Wilmington Gas and Electric Com
work. During the early part OF July
the old Wilmington Gas Company now
the Wilmington Gas and Electic Com
pany dug up cur streets in the same
locality starting from Eighteenth
street to Twenty-first street and put
in larger gas main. After they I'm
ished their work they did the prei'mi-
nary paving work. and In doing this
they left a great quantity OF the dirt
which came out of the trenches on
this main thcroughfare. and you can
imagine the condition in this particp-

weather in July and August. II re-

GOSH.

r OR some time past certain Democrats or
4 men who have passed as Democrats have
asserted that all the troubles of the party were
due to the leadership. If only Kenney and
Salisbury were to retire and the others given
chance the Democrats would rise to glory and
success. Now it is probable that the kicSers will
be given the opportunity they have desired for
so long Kenney and Salisbury will get out of
the active management and they will be sue
ceeded by their critics. The platform was made
at the recent Democratic convention under the
special guidance Of the critics OF the old Demo
cratic organization. 1t was rather bad botch
and aenated the old lady at Fifth and Shipey
streets, although it was made by her friends. But
anyone who talks of predatory wealth and plu-
tocracy is simply shocking TO her.
We, of course don't know the plans Of the
Democrats under the new deal but it may be
that the cash Of Salisbury and the cunning of
Kenney are to be replaced with the smile Of
Hughes and the wind of Handy. Gosh

President Roosevelt Will be COM
mended by all fair-minded American
citizens. Irrespective Of party. and ap-
plauded by all civilized nations for
taking prompt steps to put a period
to the serious disorders I'm Cuba. The
Cubans have not as yet learned that
this country will not tolerate an in
definite continuance of turmoil and
bloodshed. IL remains for us to teach
them the lesson. 1t Is our duty to do
IL. They must be brought to realize
that we viii have no disorderly neigh
bors; that II they have no respect for
their own laws and their own govern
ment they must respect the American
republic.
II is TO be hoped-it Is TO be expect
ed-that the American government on
this occasion will be so firm. so vigor-
GUS and so determined In its policy
that the revolutionary spirit IN the
island viii be crushed for all time
When we released them from the
bondage OF Spain II was for the pur-
pose OF establishing permanent peace
and an enlightened government on the
island. We must carry out that pur-
pose We did not release them that
they might change the form OF bar
barity, but that they might eliminate
ii forever, and it is our business to see
that it Is done.

DANGEROUS CARELESSNESS

Something should be done to stop
the practice OF throwing refuse into
the streets. In certain districts peo-
ple have made IL q habit 10 deposit
vegetable matter in the cutters, and
to scatter it along the sidewalks,
which not only endangers the public
health, but may cause people to fall
and break their limbs. Heavy penal
ties are provided for this offense IN
many places, and the law strictly en-
forced.
The throwing Of apple, banana, or
orange peels on the sidewalks often
causes people TO come to grief, through
the thoughtlessness Of some persons
who purchased a small quantity Of
fruit and who carelessly toss the peel
not needing the mischief il can do.
some people are always IN an appar-

they drop a banana peel on the walk

Children in Car Seats.

Editor The Evening Journal
! have often noticed that women
with young children invariably place
the little ones on the seats Of the
cars alongside OF them, and that when
the car becomes crowded, never think
OF taking the children upon their laps
but allow them to occupy the seats,
thus forcing passengers who have paid
their fares to stand up.
While one naturally feels sorry for
the woman who is compelled to take
a child along with her it is. neverthe-
