THE Morning Ne70S, of Wilmington,
and the Meas and .4dgey1tse,-, of Mil
ford, are anxious to hear tidings of
Horace Greedy Knowles, who repre-
sents this country as Consul at Bor-
deaux, France. We predict that Mr.
Knowles is all right, and will be ONT
of the foremost workers in the next
campaign in Delaware for the Repuh-
lican party; and if the Morning Meas
ami the Meas and .Ad1eJfiSeT work as
earnestly and tremendously as will
Mr. Knowles, their party will have
much more regard for both Journals
and their editors. Editors Sperry and
Hynson are both Republicans from
principle and it appears to be a pecu
liarity of theirs to want to rule or RUM |
in fact, this same popularity has been |
dominant in the Republican party foI
many years, ami is one of the prime /
causes OF its long continued position as

representative men and representative
papers like the Morning Meas and
Mas and A9Tc7iScy will fairly ex-
press their opinion and work for a
legitimate end,their influence for Their
parly's good would soon be felt; but
dragging on the coat tails Of Mr..
Knowles, or any Other Of Senator Hig-
gins appointments, can result only
in making his position more arduOu-
t. fiji, and furnish loop-holes to theii
Democratic enemy through which to
weaken the Republican party's posi-
ton with the people by holding ~
Republican officials from Delaware
as petent and scheming political
carpet-baggers. Is this good politics,
or good Rppubicunism Do these
men love self most, that their course I
is thus? From our standpoint looks q
as if each Republican should work for
one end only, and that end, the sue.
cess of his party. His course should o
be so shaped that whatever befell his
favorite his support would oe given to
the majority, and not let his personal
interest lessen. By this course the Il

Electric Wires Ip New York;

In a paper read before the National
Electric Light Association, DR.. Schuyler S.
Wheeler, electrician of the Board of Elec-
trical Control, says the total number of
miles of underground wires already laid in
New York is 3,697.
The number of miles Of underground
wire i'll Brooklyn is 2 100.
The number Of miles Of underground
wire in Paris is 400.
The number of miles of underground
wire in Chicago is POO.
The number of miles of underground
wire in Boston is 400.
Thes number of miles of underground
wire in PittSburg is about 200.
There are already underground, in the
city of New York, more electrical conduc-
tors than in any other city in the world
Except Paris, while the capacity OF the
subway construction already finished iE
this city may be estimated fairly at some
thing over 10000 miles of conductors.
There are through lines completed fIom
the Battery to the Park on the two prin-
cipal t~hoToughfares Of this city, Broadway
and Sixth Avenue, and a gradual CONVEX
sion OF overhead lines in the busy parts of
the city may be confidently expected.
The Board OF Electrical Control is not
unnllllUIul, however, OF the magnitude OF
the labor and expense required i'll convert
ing the present arrangements into under
ground systems, and does not contemplate
either the hampering of the business Of
electrical companies by forcing unreaSona-
BILE numbers of wires underground, or by
attempting to compel the use of subwayS
faster than is consistent with the efficiency
of the various electric Services to the public.
If the orpat ma&S of overhead cOndurtOras
are removed, and the remainder of the SER
vice brought to a condition which will as,

same time, the benefit of the companies

double that number ought to have saved

the Doctor tell us why Leicester, which
ought to suffer from smallpox, is free
from it, while Sheffield, which ought not
to suffer fir IN smallpox, is devastated by

little falling off in vaccination during this

high dpatn.rate from small pox was almost
concurrent with the highest period Of vac
