Tine advantages OF business manager
ment of public affairs Is clearly shown by
the balance sEeet with which the Whining

all financial engagements tor bonds and

to report surplus over and above all OK
pensos and with not dollar OF current
debt, OF $ll ,644,42.
rho simple explanation OF all this is TINT
there Is not an ounce OF politics in the man
ag6ment of the Water Department. This
branch OF our public business is managed
precisely as q successful private business
would be- managed. Men are empioyet
because they ere fit to ba employed, and
not because they are politicians. The strict
honesty OF Il faithful trustee IA rather rare
thing in public buainess-ls the moving
motive of the commissioners, and hard
headed, cold blonted common sense
governs every detail Of tho department.
II Il similar spirit OF simple fidelity and
regard tor the public interests could be
established ia control OF our county tax
offices how happy We should ba. But that
Is apparently too much 10 nope for.

FATR Err GRAB'S CHAIR.

ship OF Music in the New Catholic
DnEVersltY.

The Rev. Father Graf, late pastor Of
the Church of the Holy Gross, Dover,
has been selected for the chair OF music
at the new Catholic University OF Wash
ington. The honor is o remarkable dis
tinction even Tor one so accomplished .
master of music Bs Father Graf is. The
recipient, fSom his youth MP, has been
constantly surrounded with those inhu-
ences which have developed in him con
ditions fitting him remarkably for the
high position he holds. With the thor
oughnesa which IL customary III rhe Ger
man gymneeia, from his earliest days
Father Graf hss ''Rat az the feet" OF the
greatest living masters of the old world
He is imbusd and inoculsted with the
most classic ideals of church music. His
bias is disiinctively of the Gresorian
order of cathedral music.
Al his first advent in this country in
Baltimore no was given charge OF the
Cathedral choir and his influence there
has made an impross which no doubt will
be lasting. at Bishop Curtis taking
charge Of the diocese of Wilmington,
Father Graf accompanied him here and
stayed for some tins at the bishops
house until his appointment TO the Dover
pustorate. The bishop Of Wilmington ia
one of the prelates who thoroughly ap.
preciates Father Graf's great acquire
ments. It is said OF the new professor
that he Is equally at eaae with all known
musical instruments. With the iptensest
love for tine great art ne combines the
most remarkable ability for choral orgen.
ization and education. His temperament
Is engrossed in the furtherance Of the
great art OF religious music. The appoint.
mont of Father Graf is looked upon from
all sides rs one that will unerringly so
affect and inspire musical taste in this
country as to raise it, in time, to some
probability of that grade of respectability
which all patriotic Americans, indepen-
dent Of church affiliation and denomina,
ton, most earnestly desire.
