What is Due the POstmasters.

Efforts at economy on the part of the Government are usually to be common ded, but there is one branch of the public service where more liberal expenditure would be approved by the people in general The postmasters are not adequately paid for their services. We would be very sorry to have the postmasters of America go out on strike, but it is interesting to consider how many lives would be affected if the postmasters of Canada and the United States failed to do their duty even for one day. Not only would the whole business of the country be brought to a standstill, but social and domestic arrangements would be completely dis organized. So much often depends upon letter. A letter gone astray, letter delayed may alter the course of more than one life. To the postmasters we entrust the inmost secrets of our hearts and the particulars of our most important business enterprises, enclosed in paper envelopes, We do it without any anxiety, for we we'll know that they will faithfully perform their duties and safely place the precious little packages in the hands for which they are intended There is no other branch of the public service on which the people in general are so dependent. There is no other class of officials to whose honesty and efficiency the people owe so much. Indeed, the integrity of the postm asters of both Canada and the United States has become proverbiable, and when the advocates of any scheme for Govern ment ownership of telegraph lines and

that he understands what Justice is
much better than the court who care
fully listened to all the evidence in the
case Of Rathel, and with full knowl-

tence the court considered he Justly
deserved.
1t was clearly proven that Rathel
assaulted Mifflin and that he kicked
him which resulted in breaking his law
in two place from which he received
injuries that will remain through life.
What kind Of a government would we
have If it showed all mercy without
justice? There is not an individual
who signed the petition to have Rathel
pardoned, had one of their brothers
or sons bad his jaw broken but would
have fully endorsed the sentence he
received. Philanthropist SAYS "the
venom OF this small party was directed

he have meant2 There was no party
but what only asked the sheriff to az

The Party and Senator Higgins.


DEAR SIR:-I offer through your
columns some suggestions as to the
duty Of all Republicans in this State to
stand by the man whom the national
administration by an invariable rule
acknowledges - the leader Of the party.
Some time ago 4 friend, one Of the old
Democrats, said to me, your trouble is
you have no leaders, and it is getting to
be ours" l felt that the remark was
too true, for l had to acknowledge that
those who had been for many years
leaders by manipulation of party ma
chinery, had disposition to arrange
for the honor and advantages of Office
before there appeared any reasonable
prospect for winning. With them it
was all for the cOterie. This was all
the use they had for the people and
their votes. If one ever crossed the
path OF their ambition, the sin was un-
pardOuable. Therefore, the party has
been led into the bogs of defeat until
by division of our opponents and a new
element of leadership astute enough to
see the opportunity, brought d partial
+ victory.
It was a great victory heralded all
over the country. No man ever took
/ his seat in the United States Senate
/ with more eclat than our own Senator
/ Higgins. But withal it was exceedingly
distasteful to some Of those who seem
to prefer defeat to the whole party,
rather than loose their grip on the
reins. When in answer to the great
/ pressure Of intelligence, patriotism and
/ business pressure the legislature placed

Knox, Harry Thomas and G.. H. Kerr
went to Smyrna yesterday afternoon
to play the members of the Smvrna
Chess Club a friendly match. The
WllmingtOnians were met at CLAYTON
Oy two representatives of the Smyrna
club, Messrs. Hill and Beck who con-
Quoted them to Smyrna and saw them
comfortably fixed in the hotel. After
supper, play commenced and cOntin-
ued uninterruptedly until after u
O'Clock. Although the Wilmington
club was minus the services OF two of
its best players, it made a good score.
The play resulted as follows: 5.
Kerr, Jr., won four from DR.. Dame,
| one from Mr.. Cavender and one from
Mr.. Beck, total six wins. w. J,
Ferris won four from Mr.. Cum Minis,

won one from Cavender, a total eight
wins, one loss aud a draw. Harry

Mr.. Handy, Jr., and won one each

The Wilmingt0niaps were greatI,

will doubtless result in Q team mattel
