Holn for san ErnnoIaoo.


The extent Of the earthquake disaster
at San Francisco is appalling. The flames
we're still raging at an early hour this
morning, and there is little doubt that the
city will be practically destroyed
Fully 100000 residents are home
less, and necessarily will be dependent
upon the gracious kindness Of the rest of
the people for some time to come. Sup
plies OF food are needed at once. Much
money will be required TO care for these
stricken people until they are able TO
care for themselves.
The entire country is alive with the
spirit OF love and charity that incites 70
generous action in times Of great aiFliction.
The city Of Wilmington has taken hold
of the work, and movement has been
organized, with Mayor Wilson at the
head, to receive the contributions that
our people are sure TO pour FORTH tn,
details of the local relief movement ar,
printed elsewhere in this paper.
Never was there time when the maxim
"He who gives quickly gives twice, " wa
more pertinent and practical There car
be no doubt about the character Of tn,
response that will be msde by the pcopl
OF this city and State.

a Good Suggestion.

Referring TO President Roosevelt s
recommendation of progressive inheri-
tance tax, as a means of placing limita-
tion upon large fortunes, the Chicago
lnter-Ocoan prints, and the New York
Sun reprints with evident relish, the state
mont that President Rutherford b Hayes
in q speech delivered in Cleveland in $780,
advocated limiting by law the accumu-
lation Of fortunes, with S3,O00000 as the
maximum which should be held lby any
one person. From this it is sought to
convey the impression that President
Roosevelts suggestion was not original
with him, but WINS derived from President
Hayes, with whom he was associated IN
the administration of the National Prison
Association of America Mr.. Hayes as
president and Mr. Roosevelt as treasurer
Of the organization.
But, no matter whore President Roosc-
welt derived his inspiration he made it
count for his remarks have excited hos
tile Republican sentiment in all directions.
Among one of the dissoniionts is Congress
man Mccall of Massachusetts,, who holds
that "Mr. Roosevelt might make more than
an academic solution of the accumulation
of wealth problem by sending a special
message TO Congress asking for a comec-
tion of some of the glaring inequalities
OF the tariff
No doubt he could. He might even do
better by urging Congress to effect a
radical reform Of the tariff in the direction
OF lower taxes For, if he could induce
Congress to take away the protective
features of our tariff system, and thus
remove the protection which enables the
Trusts TO secure enormous profits by i'm
posing high prices on American con
sumers prices much higher than those
for which they sell their products in
foreign markets would make a great
stride in the direction OF reducing, through
the regular channels of business, som,
Of the enormous fortunes whose growth
he desires to check by taxation Thus
might be afforded to many others the
opportunity to secure and enjoy thi
moderate fortunes with which they woulC
no doubt be contented.

Rnnrona Rates and PoIltIoa.

Il will be quite interesting, during this
year, to note the effect OF the railroad
rates question, now being thrcshed out by
Congress, upon the political campaign
Il is probable that some kind of a Rail-
road Rates bill will be enacted, but it
will not, so far as the votes Of the members
Of Congress are concerned, be a partisan
measure. The bill now in the Senate was
supported by every Democratic member
Of the House of Representatives, and by
an but seven of the Republican members.
In the Senate, however, while there is
little doubt that some kind Of a measure
will be passed, il is not probable that this
action will be due TO the concerted sup
port of tho Republican majority. For
Republican Senators and Democratic
Senators arc in favor Of railroad rates
legislation, while Republican Senators
and Democratic Senators are opposed.
And even among those who favor this
legislation there is a division Of sentiment
as to details and Republicans and Demo-
Gratis line up together for or against the
various propositions.
When the political conventions begin
to assemble, therefore, general expressions
may be expected on the subject Of rail-
road rates legislation. Should the pend
ing bill be licked into shape fairly ac-
ceptahle to a majority of the Republican
members Of Congress- Republican con-
ventions will "point with pride" to il as
an evidence Of how the Republican party
may be looked to for the determination
Of all such questions. The Democratic
conventions, on the other hand, will prob
ably "view with alarm" the disposition
Of the Republican party to subordinate
the interests Of the people to the interests
Of the railroad corporations" and call fol
the election of a Democratic Congress- in
order that the public interests may b,
properly saieguarded."
But the disposal Of the railroad ques
tion by non-partisan action in Congress
will clip the wings Of the partisan cam
paign orators, If it shall do nothing else
They will, in all probability, pass it b!
for issues more attractive from a partisan
point of view.

ATruthful Declaration.

Political platform declarations, as
rule, are mere devices for attracting votes,
and are not expected to be carried out,
oven after the party making them has
been elevated 60 power. An exception
must be noted, however, in favor of the
tariff declaration of the Republican ma
tional platform for tho campaign Of 1904.
"lo a Republican President and a
Republican Congress-" says this plat
form, after protesting that the great work
of adjusting tariff rates "cannot safely
be entrusted to any other hands, "this
great question can be safely entrusted. f"
True as gospel For a Republican Con-
gress, as has been proved by its record
of more than thirty years, can be depended
upon, in revising the tariff, to revise It's
rates of taxation over onward and up
ward, TO the great satisfaction of those
TO whom the protective tariff has long
been a source of enormous privilege and
profit
Today, under am era of Trusts and high
prices, We have a striking evidence of the
evil result of entrsting the work of revis-
ing the tariff only to cts friends Foi
its friends arc the friends Of the chic
benehciaries Of the tariff tho Trusts
and not of the chief sufferers from higl
tariff taXation-the people.
The friends OF the tariff solemnly de
clare in favor Of standing pat in tn,
face OF the convincing fact that the Ameri
can people are compelled to pay more 70
steel rails and other iron products Of thi
country, for American watches an,
other manufactures Of this country
than these same products are sol,
b for in foreign markets. Steel rail
and steel plates are sold across the At
p lantic at s. TO $40 per ton less than Il
b charged for them in the United States
. American watches are sold in foreig
markets at 30 TO 40 per cent less than tn
@ rates they are held at in this country.
Truly, the Republican platform Of 100
e was right in declaring that to a Republ
can President and Republican Congre.
b the tariff question could be "safely CT
@ trusted p This Republican administr.
r. tion is proving faithful to its trust an
? to the Trusts.

text OF the party's good, are willing to
sacrifice principle for personal ends and
engage in a compromise with personal
and political dishonor They would have
the Republican party abandon its COM
mcndabIe and consistent attitude and
stultify itself by entering into compact
which would promise the triumph Of the
man whose selfish ambition and corrupt
methods il has so long combattcd.
