Another House bill, No. 7,470, is
"for the relief of r. Graham Eros
and Gustavus Sessinghaus. 1t apt
propriates $10,81813 for Mr.. Frost,
member from the Third district of
Missouri, and $l5,640,75 for Mr..
Sessinghaus, who contested Frost's
seat. If Frost and Sessinghaus get
the money they ask for, it will have
cost the people $27, 456.90 to find out
who was elected in the Third district
Of Missouri.
The other bill, which humps the
expenses of q dozen or more cases,
appropriates in all about $4,000.
The Congressman who have put in
claims for alleged expenses are, with
one exception, from the South
Four are from South Carolina, two
from Alabama, two from Florida, two
from Louisiana, one from Mississippi,
one from Virginia, one from Nilsson
ri Generally speaking, they are not
members who have lent much lustre
to the Forty seventh Congress. If
the bill passes. it will have cost the
people 1925 to demonstrate that in
the Fifth district Of Louisiana j.
Floyd King was elected by his 15,304
votes, and not B. Fl. Lanicr, who re-
ceived 3,3lS votes. twill have cost
the people $5,406 to ascertain that in
the Third district of South Carolina
ID. Wyatt Aiken's 27,S63 votes cleo
ted him over Carlos J. Stolbrand, who
who had 9,759 votes. And SO on
through the list.
There is law in the United States
providing that mo payment shall be
made by the House of Representa-
tives, out of it's contingent fund or
otherwise, to either party to a con-
tested election case for expenses
incurred in prosecuting or defending
the same" This is explicit enough
as far as it goes. But there is no
law prohibiting O member OF Con-
gross or an unsuccessful contestant
from getting at the Treasury If h.
can by means Of private bill for
his "relief" Few people ever hear
of these bills. There is no fuss made
over them, 30 opposition, 10 debate
Measures affecting the pockets Of
members Of the House are apt to he
quietly and quickly pa ,sei on prin-
ciple-a principle not unlike that
which is known at the other end of
the Capitol as the coursesy Of the
Senate.
This theory, briefly stated, is that
member in Congress is morally in
capable of cheating. and that if he
brings claim against the Govern
ment every other member is bound to
help him through with it. 1t is a
good working theory for members,
and it is the people who have to pay.
AS for the outsiders, they simply
ask the Government to pay for their
unsuccessful attempts to establish
their title to sit in Congress and to
draw a salary from the Sergeant-at-
Arms. 1t looks as if contesting cleo
lions and collecting expenses might
becon4 e regular ard profitable bust
ness for politicians who stand no
earthly chance of getting at the
Treasury in any other way.-Ncw

of his case to q commission in lunacJ
and his escape. They have reported
his daily use of three buckets of wa.
ter to soften the mortar between the
bricks of his cell wall; the pandimo.
mum which he encouraged in the jail
on the night of his escape: the pres.
ence in his cell of ball bat sticks OF
wood and an old stove hinge; of the
barrel and lumber and ashes in the
jail yard, and the pin in the wall by
which he and a former murderer each
let themselves down outside the Jail
yard. They have reported the fact
that Sunday was spent in George
town by the authorities, and that not
until Hallett had a lead ofover TWEEN
ty hours was pursuit given. The
Milford papers have reported upon
the evidence Of many what happened
in this town; and in all this case the
CHRONICLE has found no cause for en-
comiums upon the Sheriff, the Court
or the Legislature.
In the light of all the facts, how
can the Georgetown papers excuse
their existence when they publish in
a trucking spirit such sentiments as
we have quoted at the head of this
editorial? The CHRONICLE takes DO
sitiOn behind no individual, and be-
hind no publication in its devotion to
law, and its respect and support of
constituted authorities. Our voice
has not been one of disrespect, but
with the deepest regard for that
higher tribunal of correct public SEN
timent we have endeavored to voice
its judgement. "Blind guides and |
fools" Do you not realize that it |
were better that fifty papers be ami
hilated with judgements for libel than
hat public sentiment should be de-
with the idea that these
,hings can exist without protest?
What a shameful condition of the
sense Of public justice when it can be
iaid in the public prints at the county
eat, of such a criminal "TheTe were
very few people outside Of Milford
Who did not heave a sigh of relief
yhen it was known that the prisoner
lad escaped Jail" If this condition
# things be true, All hail to Milford!
,he stands head andShoulders above
er fellow towns, to which be all
hame. But is it true? Is there no
scurity to life guaranteed in the deep
etermination Of the people to be
Lw abiding themselves and to COM

xpression is a libel on the common ]
ealth, or the days of our rejoicing il

few suggestion, about Canning Fruit.

Now please do not say at once, "If Granger
thinks she knows all about canning fruit, she il
mistaken" because she doesn't claim to know
Everything" nor even, great deal; but she
has learned a tews things that she is willing to
impart to others, and that Is more than some
people are willing to do you know. First, ii
pays to take ones best fruit to can. Do not use
that winch is little too green, or little too soft
or little too something, that is not rig,t
Dry that kind II you wanttO,-but take ripe, firm
fruit to can. Il ever, "what is worth doing, is
worth doing well, it is in the matter OF canning
fruit.
What houskeeper has not had more or less ex-
perience in unexpected and spontaneous opening

condition is your frui; closet! thousands Of red
seeds over everything, with general daubng

wife can appreciate. There too, is the imperti.
nent sizzle that comes particularly from berries.
When hear it, my last scrap Of patience disap-
pears, and am seized with desire to throw
the offender out of the Aearest window. To OBJ.
viate these difficulties, TO have studied the mat.
ter pretty closely, and that which have learn, d
Is what started to tell. First, get new rubber
rings as soon as the old ones begis to harden in
the least for when they become hard they fail
to receive the cover in a way tosecure IL. These
can bspurchaAed separately for two cents apiece.
Then the cover; Do not drop a metal cover any
more than you would glass one. One little
dent on the edge large enough to run pin un-
der, will prove fatal to the preservation Of the
fruit.
An excellent way to test cans, Is, to put lit
ile water in them, screw them down tightly and |
stand them on their heads. II one drop Of water
Toes not ooze through. you are safe in using that
'overi Try your ne,0 cans 10 this way. New
covers are often as unsafe as old ones. Your
merchant will probably bully you, but you can
lfiord to bear il, II you can avoid the trying al
ernatiye Of having spoiled fruit; at least have
lever bad so much satisfaction in my canned
ruit, as since trying this way. One thing more,
IS soon as a can is emptied, wash It. wipe il, and
ut It away. If a eau and its cover once part
ompauy, they are not apt to agree when they
ome together again. As for getting vinegar,
east, elc. in cans, why use jugs and bott es
'r such purposes. It'll more the abuse than
le use Of esus that spois them.

TRADE DOLLARS are not received
at the First National Bank OF Mil
ford, at any price. The object of
this, is, to drive them out of circula-
tion, and was caused by the action
of the Bankers of New York. This
summary manner of treating this i'm
pOrtant factor of our circulating me-
dium has caused thousands of dol
lars in loss to holders of the coin.
The silver question will certainly be
an issue in the next campaign; and
the sooner our silver coinage is re-
duced and a coin substituted with
intrinsic value equal to its stamped
face value, the better it win be for
the party in control of the Govern
ment and the people.

"The two Milford papers seem to
have gotten on their hind feet in re-
gard to Hallett's escape, How would
their remarks sound in Court in a
suit for libel?" Democrat.
"There were very few people out

sign Of relief when it was known that
the prisoner had escaped Jail, and
very few of those whom we have
heard talk on the subject want him
brought back" Journal
It was formerly said "Like Priest,
like People" But in these days it
may be more appropriately said" Like
Press, like People" +" More than any
other instrumentality of the age the
Press should stand forth to battle
with the wrong; expose corruption
and fraud; teach and persuade men
TO accept nothing but strictest fidel-
ity from public servants: and by
lively opposition to all trucking and
funkyism aim to keep a healthy agi-
tation of public sentiment against
that Indifference to the loss of our
moral stamina, love of justice, devo-
tion to principle and worship of fre-
dom that is slowly destroying the
American Republic. More than any
pther power, the press compels from
public servants a care for their duty.
If its voice may be stified they may
quiet the people until with money
getting and a spirit of personal ire
sponsibility for public wrongs we
drift as communities, as states and as
p country into the vortex ofanarchy. |
More than they dread the Pulpit, pub |

New Passenger Tariff on Philadelphia
Wilmington 4 Baltimore Railroad

The announcement is made thai
the Pennsylvania Railroad Compa
ny is about to introduce a new pas
senger tariff on the three divisions
of the Philadelphia, Wilmington &
Baltimore Railroad. It's Maryland
Division embraces the line from Phil
adelphia to Baltimore, the Delaware
Division, the lines on the Peninsula,
and the Central Division, the lines
between Philadelphia and West Ches-
ter, and Lamol1in and Port Deposit.
The new tariff is intended to equal
ize the rates over all these roads and
TO bring them under the general
standard of passenger fares adopted
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
paly. The uniform rate of three
cents per mile is to be charged, dnd
with the former tariff between Phil
adelphia and Wilmington ranging
from 2 to 80 cents per mile, and to
points below the latter place as high
as cents per mile, the nature ofthe
reductiod is apparent.
In addition to this the company
intends to issue daily excursion tick
cts, which will be placed at reduced
prices, and as the great bulk of trav-
el will be able to utilize this form ofI
ticket, a material saving is the result.
Between Wilmington and all stations
on the Maryland Division and all
points on the Delaware Division
reduction in the local fares of 10 to
25 per cent. has been determined |
upon, and similar arrangements have
been perfected for the Central Divis-
Jon.
These changes are of exceptional
interest to Baltimore, for it is pro-
posed to issue special limited tickets,
good on the day purchased, between
Baltimore and all the cOmpany's lines
IN the Peninsula, at greatly reduced
rates. This will facilitate trade with
,he Eastern Shore, the territory of
which is claimed to belong peculiarly
% Baltimore, and improved rail facil- {
ties are to be offered IN this connec-
ion. None of these changes will af-
ect the rates for commutation tick
It's, as they apply only to transient
raYel.
