MONAGHAN FOR
LOCAL OPTION
sneclai to me Evening Journal

1INlAiA 10 LAlU ANEIluA 10QANLAs
DOVER, Feb. Ex-senator Thomas NJ
Monaghan, the Wilmington Democratic
leader. yesterday announced his inten-
tion Of voting for the Kent county
local option bill If the bill is brought
up in the Senate. The Senator denied,
however. that the Democrats, as a unit,
would support the measure in the
Senate, declaring that he had heard of
no such concerted action. 1t had been
charged that the Democrats would 50
unite because of the action OF Demo-
cratic leaders who were in league with
the whiskey interests in Kent county
cutting the Democratic candidates and
defeating several because they We're
local option men at the recent cleo
tion.
Il ann not in favor Of local option, +"
said Senator Monaghan to-day, but 1
propose to support that Kent county
bill. And / have no other reason ex-
cept that the constitution says when
ever any one of the districts shall ap-
peal by petition OF a majority Of its
legislaturemen elected to both Houses,
for such action. that the General As
sembly then shall enact a law sub
hitting the question Of license or no
license to vote Of the qualified elect
ors.
Now I, for myself alone, do not see
how I can get AROUND that constitution.
The Kent county district has so petit
toned. AS I said before. 1 am not
in favor Of local option, but IL anybody
will show me how / can avoid support
ing that bill, l will be very glad Of the
advice"

NEW YORK AS REPUBLICAN STATE.

IN NEW YORK there is discussion whether
4 or not that Commonwealth is a Republican
one. Lieutenant-Governor Chanler asserts that
New York is normally Democratic, but the facts
do not bear him out During the last fifty years
New York has given its electoral vote to the
Democratic candidate only four times Horatio
Seymour carried it in 1868, Samuel J. Tden re-
ceived the electoral vote of New York in 1876 and
Grover Cleveland twice. The State has done bet
ter for the Democratic gubernatorial candidates,
but even then it has been twelve years since the
Democratic nominee won, and that was when
Roswell P. Flower was elected. Since the OUT
break OF the Civil War, the Republicans have had
ten governors to seven for the Democrats, and OF
late years the Republican majorties have been
increasing Like Dclaase, West Virginia, Mary
land and even Missouri New York has felt the
drift in recent years towards the Republican
party. 1t is only when bosses get the upper hand
in the party that there is danger of Republican
defeat in New York

DIsGRAcEFUL AND SUSPICIOUS HASTE

VAT ITH a haste that showed a most brazen
w disregard of public opinion, and that has
aroused the gravcst suspicious, there was
iammed through the Senate yesterday the bill
authorizing the Levy Court to borrow S9ooooo
for road improvement. We have no hestancy in
saving that the action Of the Senate is in direct
violation of the wishes of the people, and the
naunerin which the bill was railroaded through
the senatesi is both outrageous and scandalous
Rushing the bill OF itself anticipated violent
cutburst Of indignation the part Of the taXpay-
ers Not day, not an hour, no, not minute was
e'gcu the people to express themselves on the
matter. We arc positive the taxpayers do not
want to be burdcncd with another half million
dollars Of debt The proposition to borrow
100000 was shocking to the people, and, in spite
Of that the Senate, without regard for either the
rights or wishes Of the people, raises the original
amount 100000. and under a suspension OF rules
hurrics the bill through the upper body and
rushcs it over to the House The scheme was 70
jam the bill through the House. yesterday and
thus give the people a complete Knockout But
the plot was foiled in the House by the commend
able and well directed efforts of Representatives
Finn. Keenan, and Paradee The Senate schem-
rrs found themselves baked and standing alone
with their disgraceful action which they hoped
and planned woiild'b sharedby the House The
action Of the representatives yesterday shows
they are not TO be twisted around the thumbs OF
the Senate corporation clique. The Senate will
use any means and influence to force the House
to pass that bill in order 20 put the representa-
tives i'm the same position the senators now are in
with the people. We hope the House members
will have the courage to remain firm in the per-
formance OF their plain duty in this matter, Great
credit is due them for what they have already
done

The ong-ooked-for building boom in the
Twelfth ward has started Many dwellings in re-
cent years have been erected in that region of the
city, but the supply does not meet the demand.
In many parts Of the city there is a call for more
houses, and those which are vacant are quickly
snapped up This demand for buildings indicates
that the population of the city must be rapidly
growing More structures will have to be erected,
but the cost Of building is so high that investors
hesitate about undertaking such operations.

Wants Tho Inspection.

Editor The Evening Journal
While I credit Mayor Horace Wilson
with having the best interests OF this
city at heart. I must disagree with
him regarding the report Of the local
fire department. His refusal to employ
expert engineers to make another test
is a mistake in my opinion. He asserts
each fire company should make it's own
test Now the several firemen know
what their respective engines can do.
and it would be needless for them to
make another test They want TO get
the opinion Of some outsider whose
statements win be accepted as final.
just and fair. From the mayors mes
sage to city Council it appears that
he is inclined to believe all the under
writer's engineers have stated in their
report, and I do not think this is just
to the Wilmington firemen. While the
engineers have nothing to do with the
fixing OF fire Insurance rates in this
city, the rates are computed on the re-
port Unless this report is contra
dicted by expert opinions the rates for
