County and City Meeklies.

The Conneautville Pa.) Record has
an article ON the subject of the differ
ence in the cost of weekly papers
printed only as such, and the weekly
edition of daily papers which great
many people who want one as cheap
as the other should read. 1t says;
THE HOME PAPER.
AS the time is approaching when
our country friends make their ar
rangements for the new year, we take
occasion to say few plain words
on subject of Importance
at least to us. In starting out we in
sist that every family should have
their home journal, and where cir
cumstances will admit, should also
take first-class city weekly, as it is
impossible with the limited space at
his command for the events as they
transpire.
THR CHEAP WEEKLY.
The principal argument used in IA
Vor of the city weekly is its cheapness,
only S1.50 or S1.75 year, in clubs
even less, while the country paper,
not as large either, costs 50 or $3.50.
Without stopping to examine if there
be any cause for the difference in
price, some person at each postoffice
at once sets out to get up club for
the city weekly.
THE DIFFERENCE.
Now let us see how it is that the
city papers are afforded at such low
rates, for their rates are very low, and
furnish reading matter that in any
other shape would cost ten times as
much. Tie reason is simply this :
Outside the cost of white paper, ink
and mailing, the city weeklies cost
the city publishers nothing; while the
entire cost of type setting, presswork,
paper, ink, mailing, Office rent, fuel,
etc., is added to the cost of a country
publishers paper. The type is all set
up and paid for on the daily paper of
the. city publisher, and it is merely
transferred to the weekly, while the
pressman being hired by the week,
receives nothing extra for the weekly,
SO that all the city printer receives
above the first cost of white paper, ink
and mailing, is as much clear gain,
and he can therefore make more
money by furnishing his paper as low
as $1,25 than the country publisher
can at $3 year.

the sharp point OF an elbow. Our cevorncss Is
proyerbia when once In the circle, aud In the

The Superintendent marvels that an "educated

to in the praying town Of Milford" and the

overwork, gone crazy. How could she when sue
did not throw herself among, or identify herself
with, "praying people," Not only this but
she was always closely yelled on appearing IN the
streets, aud but few OF our people ever saw her,
much less had an opportunity To converse with
her. Being sensitive and refined in feeling Of
highly nervous temperament, aud without pro-
tector stranger IL q strange land-it is not re-
markable that the difficulties she met with In tue
outset In obtaining home and the known con-

WATER POWER EYELopMENT.

WATER PO WEIR DEVELOPMENT
The letter from the Chief Engineer of the
Wilmington and Western Railroad, which
we publish elsewhere, is calculated, we
think, to very completely set at rest the
fears entertained by some that the building
of the proposed road would depreciats the
value Of the water powers along its line.
We do not know how such on idea ever
obtained foot-hold.
The facts set forth in this letter should not
merely answer this singular objection, but
their complete demonstration of the inn
mense value of great water power to a
city should reawaken public interest in the
improvement of the but partially developed
water power of the Brandywine and stimu-
late to active efforts those interested in its
greater development. The utilization of the
full power of this stream would add i'm
mensely to the already great manufacturing
facilities of our city and speedily cause Will
mington to take higher rank than she even
| now holds amongst manufacturing cities,
while the thorough development of the
many fine water powers lying around us on
Red Clay Creek, Mill Creek, and other
streams, would add greatly to the city's COM
mercal importance.
The city itself as a corporation is largely
interested in the development of the waiei
power Of the Brandywine, and will receive
direct as well as indirect benefit from tht
organization of the corporation alread,
chartered to effect such development.

We print in our local columns an account
of a remarkable trial which took place last
week, at Elkton, Nd. in which white man
who, according 70 all the evidence submitted
to the Jury, murdered in cold blood, with
out proyocaiion, colored man, was acuuit
ted Of having committed any crime what
ever. Truly the spirit of fancy still seems
to pervade Maryland law and now as in the
days Of bred Scott 50 negro has no rights q
white man is bound TO respect" Such scenes
are sickening to every lover of justice.
The effect of this verdict is to lcgalize
murder. There is no Disgusting this, and it
is well that Maryland should consider whelh-
er or not She is ready TO take the conse-
qucnces. Underlying all statute laws is the
natural law Of self defence and a class from
which the law withdraws its protection will
eventually by violence attempt to protect it
self, and redress its own wrongs. Does Ce-

TIE RAILROAD QUARREL Nv
WORCESTER

The fight amongst the Worcester County
Democracy appears to hinge on the Rail
road question, the friends of the Worcester
County Railroad scheme, from Snow Hill 10
Berlin, opposing those in the lower part tf
the county who naturally and reasonably de-
sire the construction of the short and direct
Worcester and Somerset road from New
town to point on the main Pcninsuar road
We have no interest in such contest ex-
cept 80 far as it concerns the general deyol-
opmcnt of the Peninsula, and hence, we re-
gard the success of the Newtown people us
emineutly desirable. We have always re-
glrded tho proposed road from Snow Hill 10
Berlin as a scheme, the absurdity of which
is unparalleled in railroad history, and have
never found practical railroad man who did
not regard il in a similar light Still, il a
majority of the people of the county believe
thai :" the furthest way around is the best
way to market, they doubtless have the right
to 20 that way At their own expense, but we
do not wonder that the people in the south
ern part Of the County demand, that if they
are to be called on, us tax payers, to share
in such expense, that they have a fair share
OF the State atd County appropriations ftr
the assistance Of their own road,
THIS proposed road if il be built, will be
IN important link in the trunk line which
1s@,t some day run to Cherrystonc or Cape
Charles. 1t is besides sure Of large and
profitable local traffic immediately, and Sc
has two eeit4iniie- to the single Glance OF
the other round about route We hope l.
see il built speedily to promote the natural
extension Of the main line southwark, and
as, If built i. must run partly through Som
ciset county, we regard the objection RAISED
to using any of the appropriation for il fo
grading outside Of Worcester county as IN
reasonable and iactlous.
We are, of course, aware that the friend
Of the other road hope some day that it mi,
become part Of the trunk line, which woul,
of course require a road from Berlin t.
Georgetown and possibly another from Nil
ford TO Dover. We should be very glad in
deed to sec such roads built, especially ia,
first named, hut there are so man,
vested interest opposed to them, or u
least, to their union as through line, tina
We think the success of such scheme en-
tirly too problematical to allow il to inter
fere with those which promise the immediat,
realization Of the Peninsula's great ut cessiy
a through route to some point nearly oppo
posile Norfolk. The success of such a new
through route as is proposed would involve
The destruction of The value Of the Wicomict
& Pocomokc road and of that portion Of lii,
junction and Breakwaier Road from IIar
rington to Milford, and would seriously i'm
pair the value OF the Delaware Road south
Of Harrington, the whole of the Eastern
Shore r. r., and of the Dorchester ard

that the slight advantage to be gained BY
such a revolution in our whole Peninsulal
fsystem will compensate for all these disad'

THE ED UCA IION OF M Val
OFFICERS.

A ssistant Surgeon Greene in the Navy
has just been tried by court-martial for DISC
bcdence to the orders of the commanding
officer Of his vessel, in having refused to
take off the sick list IL man, who,i in his judge
ment as physician, was not fit for duty
The Secretary Of the Navy in approving
the finding of the court-martiel wisely RENTS
nearly every requirement of the sentence of
the court. During the war an engineer named
Tower was tried by court-martial and SEN
fenced to severe punishment for disobedience
of orders in having refused to close his fur
mace doors when, in his professional judge
ment, there was already dangerous head OF
steam on the boilers and complia nee with
the order would have been almost certain to
result in an explosion and the destruction OF
the vessel.
Now we are well aware that discipline is
essential in military and Naval affairs, but il
strikes us that there may be distinction be.
tween legal authority and Irresponsible I'm.
limited power, and that implicit obedience
to all legal orders may be required without
subecting educated and intelligent gentle
men to the capricious tyranny of inflated
monarchs of the quarterback. Surely al
engineer employed and commissioned by
the Government should have enough knowl
edge Of his business, to make his judgement
as to the capacity of his boilers worth heed
ing: while a physicians professional judge
ment that man is absolutely unfit for dut,
should take precedence of the arbitrary die
tum ofan upprofessional, that he is.
If this be not so, and the application O.
rules so commonly recognized in all othe
human affairs, would be subversive of disci
pline in the navy, then a different trainln,
for naval officers is absolutely necessary
They must not merely be thoroughly verse,
in navigation and the other sciences nov
considered essential, but have such knowl
edge of medicine as to be able to take tn
degree of NJ. d. and must serve regula
apprenticeship al firing and RAINING engines
Such training would probably occup,
them from fifteen to twenty years and W
think it possible that those who passe
through it would be fitted to exercise til
unlimited authority now claimed by, and ap
parently accorded to naval commanders.
