HAVE Ne MORE TIcKETs. !"

MT yAIEROUS complaints have come 70 US re-
~ recently about apparent system being
worked on the cars OF the Wilmington City Rail-
way and its Chester branch OF pinering their pa
.rons. 1t is common thing particularly on the
Chester Line, when passenger asks for tickets
ior the conductor to say that he is out of them
Were this Inconvenience, and it might well be
called a more accurate name, to occur occasion
ally it might be supposed that by reason Of some
extraordinary demand the conductor had sold all
Of his strips of six tickets, but, in view Of the
.act that such incidents are not rare and arc said
20 frequently occur even before the car having
taken on new conductor at Chester where he
could get abundant supply of tickets, reaches
Claymont. One complainant says that this prac
tice has been going OH more or less regularly for
two or three years. AT first it was supposed to
be either a trick or some negligence on the part
of the conductor, but its long continuance can
leave no doubt in the minds of the people that
he company is either not i'll ignorance of it., or
it is done under their express instructions 1t
means that in every six fares paid, the company
has made sos, and in this way increases its rev
enue over IS per cent. In view of the fact that
the company has adopted six-tickets-for-a-quar
ter rate, it is probable that the law would war
rant passenger who, rendering a quarter for
strip of six tickets does not receive them, in re-
iusing to pay the straight sos fare, and would
give ample redress to such passenger, if under
the circumstances he should be elected by force
from the car 1t may be- of course that the com
pany is ignorant of this imposition upon its pa
irons, and that upon learning of the practice it
win take immediate steps to prevent its recur-

SAY THEY WERE ONLY CATS PAWS.

TF there ever was an instance of person or
J. party stewing in his or its own juice it is
the case Of those six Democratic Councilmen
who sold their political brthright to the cdlored
member Thomas +. Postles, for few paltry
Offices. They now find themselves in that mis-
cradle plight, which is so often the fate of men
who put the gain of dollars, however, dishonor-
ably obtained, above principle The ignominy'
which they deliberately welded to their political
careers, will undoubtedly drag along with them
during the remainder of their lives They are in
a worse position than the poor fellow who has
merely shells in his hands, while the other party
to the transaction is away with the oyster. They
have lost both principle and the consideration
they were promised and which for a time they
held in their hands
Some OF them may undertake to palliate their
action by confessing that the Postle's Ceal was
not OF their making but was originated by and
put into effect for the benefit of those higher up
The real purpose OF that infamous combination
it is said was to guarantee an uninterrupted con-
troll of a certain department in this city for the
man who is now looked upon as the Democratic
boss of Wilmington and 10 strengthen the hands
of the Democratic leader of the state. The game
was Dig ana well COulu tntl dlolu 10 pay SuNh
an enormous price to the colored man who held
the key to the situation. 1t is this phase of the
matter that is most distressing to two or three
of the Democratic Councilmen They claim that
personally they were not benefited by the Pos
ties alliance, and were only used as eats paws
for the big fellows to accomplish their purpose
and hold on to that department Of the city which
is supposed to be richest in patronage and other
advantages We are trying to get at the bottom
Of this sensational story and if we succeed its
publication will be a revelation to the people of
our city.

without delay, and forecasts the compile
ton of the work Of surveying ana est
mating as expcdtiously as IS consistent
with a thorough consideration of the
problems involved. This is taken 10 ind
cate that the commission win be ready TO

General Agnus' colleagues on the COM
mission. Major Clement a. +. Flagler, cf
tho Engineering Corps Of the army, and
Lieutenant Frank y. Chambers. of the
Civil Engineering Corps Of the navy,
both of whom are now in Washington
have indicated sim lar desire TO accom-
piish their labors with as little delay as
possible The fact that Major Flag.cr is
understood to be slated for an important
post in Porto Rico within the next six
or eight months is addltona reason for
believing that the Government has cause
TO anticipate that the preliminary work en-
thee anal which is to connect the Cnosa-
peake and Delaware Bays Is TO be finished
at an early date.
Much data, many documents, reports,
recommendations and survey records OF
previous Investigations are in the p -sses-
sion of the Government and will be turned
over TO the commission when It holds it's
preliminary meeting in Washington this
week, and armed with this Information
the board win be able TO make greater
headway than if II had to relp entirely
upon the product Of its own initiative.
The commission has leen enioined to re-
port upon several routes but It is more
than likely that its recommendation win
favor the purchase Of the present canal
and its conversion into tidewatcr water
way of sufficient depth and width TO ac-
commodate vessels which cannot now
traverse the stream. with such a tcon-
summation Baltimore and Philadelphia
will be within as short a distance by
water for commercial purposes as they
are now by rail.

impression that the system used by
the employees was not that of over

The theft was committed
While refusing to give the names of
the two men implicated, Mr.. Town
said that they were not now I'm the

were under constant espionage and
could not escape If they wished.
When the first discrepancy between

tho books Of the company was found
some days ago. VT was AT first thought
to be an error on the part Of trusted

Office Of the general manager, and gave
such an unsatisfactory account of the
transaction shat he was suspended

made.
Another Employe Discharged.

One Of the lies being told by the GRANTEES is
that the complaint against Edith Grant was made
for the purpose of making her buy adjoining
property at a high price. The facts in the case
show that the complaining witness had
thought Of selling his property until the Grant
woman had been arrested for the third time and
then she or her agents approached Vito Nigro
with the proposition that he sell his property
Besides the other residents in that neighborhood
petitioned the Police Commission to protect them
and their homes by closing the Grant resort
Can it be said that they also wanted to sell their
homes? No that was both lame and untrutl-
full defense OF Assistant Solicitor Rices att-
tude toward the Grant woman and her place. But,
suppose it were true, that Vito Nigro did want
to sell his house at an advance price, was that
any reason why prosecuting officer Rice should
protect person charged with violating the law
and refuse even to examine witnesses in the case?
The assistant solicitor failed to perform his duty
and no amount Of dodging or trying to hide
behind reports about an effort to sell property
will enable him to successfully defend himself
For the apparent purpose OF making one of its
sporadic venomous attacks upon The Evening
Journal, without which it seems the vicious

fense Of the influences that are protecting Edit
Grant, is Of course unknown to us. But, knowing
as we and the community do, that Bell is char
acter of sinister motives there is without doubt
something at the bottom Of his alliance with the
vice gang.

A FIGHT FOR LAW AND ORDER.

TN our news columns to-day we publish
4 statment OF facts connected with unsavory
Edith Grant case. We recognize that this case
is bad mess. and we somewhat shrink from
handling it. but it has reached that scandalous
stage where for The Journal 10 remain silent it
would be rccreant to its duty to the public. The
gang in court and out that is constantlsEon guard
to protect these Infamous dens of vice and sin,
corruptors Of the youth as well as older men Of
the community, the spreaders Of oathsome dis
eases the ruination Of young and innocent girls,
are at bay in this fight Of one poor Italian family
for the right and privilege to live in our city in
decent and respectable way.
But, now it is more than a fight of that one
man. who is spending his few hard earned dol
lars in trying to protect his home-himself, his
wife, his daughter and sons-from the encroach-
nent and attacks Of shameless vice and the open
and public prostitution of men and women with
in their sight and hearing. 1t is now a contest,
with the law decency and reputation Of our city
on the one side, and vice and moral and official
corruption on the other Remain silent in such
a hghts Not The Journal
The friends and paid agents of these dives are
doing everything in their power to protect the
Grant woman and her place Their principal
weapons are money and lies They do not hesi-
tate at any fasehood in court in the newspapers
or on the street to protect Edith Grant and her
occupation and in their effort TO break down the
force and effect OF the complaints against her
They have not only succeeded in keeping GER
tainnewspapers silent in the matter of the outrage
to the community in allowing these vile resorts
to be run brazenly and publicly, against the pro-
tests Of decent and respectable citizens, but they
have the full use Of their columns to aid them
in their purpose. But, this is not the first fight
The Journal alone has made for decency, the
protection Of the helpless and the welfare of our
community. We have buckled our armor for
this fight and feeling confident that are in
the right and that the people are with us, we
shall so fearlessly against the GRANTEES and at
tack them wherever we find them, in court or
out, and it matters not the least to us whether
the other newspapers remain silent or array
themselves with the protectors of Edith Grant
and her class.

Woman Poses as Man Till Death.

Dr. w. c. Rowe, of Chicago, ar rived in Phoenix two months ago with a person called N. Deroylan. The latter dressed and posed as a man. Deroylan was in the last stages of consumption and died last week at the Union Hotel. The body proved to be that of a woman about twenty-five years old, about five feet two inches, hair almost black, dark brown eyes, white skin, very slight frame, and with high forehead, aquiline nose, and receding chin.
 Dr. Rowe says he was engaged in Chicago to travel with the supposed man. He says he believed the corpse to be the son of Russian admiral. The doctor says she was in business in Chicago, and that she served in the Spanish war, and shows a medal given by Mckinley. Letters were found among the eff fects of deceased from Mrs. Anna Deroylan, 59S South California avenue, Chicago, to N. Doroylan, Chicago. She claims to be the wife of the deceased.
 Dr. Rowe says the alleged wife has two children. The woman had a slight mustache and shavedregularly.

fOraker Criticises the President.

Senator Forker presented reso- lution looking to an investigation by the senate of the presidents dis charge of the negro companies of the 25th infantry and addressed the senate in its support. He began by broad declaration that the presi- dent misconceived his constitutional powers when he discharged these troops and he also miconceived the testimony on which his action was based"
 Foraker' said the presidents con stitutional power was simply to com mand the army and navy as com manderinchief, while to congress the constitution gave the power to raise armies and to make rules and regula- tions for their government.
 The regulation prescribed that nc man could be summarily discharged without the right to be tried, and the articles of war, he argued, prescribed minutely how these trials are to be conducted that all punish ments should be in accordance with the direction of court martials.
 He contended, after reading at length from the articles of war, that the president should be absolutely without restraint.
 The president, he said, stated in his message that these soldiers were guilty of mutiny and had been dis charged for that reason. He fol- lowed this with the articles ot war providing that court martial should direct their punishment. This was all to guard against autocratic power. Congress, to provide against excessive punishment, had limited the penalties.
 When Foraker concluded his remarks on the negro troops, he received unanimous consent to modify the resolution so that it now directs the senate committee on military affairs to investigate the circumstances leading up to the discharge of the negro troops.
 Lodge replied briefly to Foraker's speech and Scott also spoke.
 The resolution of Forake goes over without action until after the holi- days.
