from the school fund and having stub for

Inconvenience could be experienced

The teachers salary might be paid
monthly and the collectors could cash
the orders just as he does a road order
and turn them in in settlement with the
Treasurer; or the order for salary when
received by the teacher could be for

Treasurer's check in return would be a

no danger OF the teachers being COM

The ohief JUSTICES Opinion.


The opinion delivered by Chief Justice
comegys in the Burke Roche divorce case
has awakened more criticism than any utter
ance ever delivered by the venerable juris
during his long ineumheney. This opinion
came in the form ofa letter to the "Rditor o.
the Morning Meas, ond reads
SIR At the close Of the telegraphic dis
patch from Wilmington published in the
] New York Herald OF to day giving an ac-
count Of the final Judgment Of the superior
court in the Burke Roche case, there is this
| paragraph;
"stn the chief justice did not concur in
the decree. but allowed his associates on the
bench % sign the document The reason
for this action on the part Of the chief JUS
tice was, it is said. not because he did not
think Mrs Roche Was entitled to a divorce,
but because he thought it would marke Del
aware place Of refuge for other ill-mated
couples.
Who it was that is reported as having said
what the correspondent of the Herald re-
lates-whether one Of that class of super
serviceahle friends from whom public men
desire, Of all things. to be saved, or one Of
another class with whom they not seldom
have to deal, it would be interesting to me,
at least, to know. But that the true reason
of my dissent from the judgment Of my
brethren may not be matter either of specu-
lation or misrepresentation, I have to state
that did not find the least evidence in the
case that tended even to show that the petit
toners husband was guilty either Of the
offence Of desertion or wilful neglect to pro-
vide for the support Of his wife, as those
grounds, OF rather terms, are understood ia
Me iasO. There were no other legal causes
alleged in the petition. J. P. COMEGYs.
Dover, Del March Ath 1901
The position of our venerable chief justice
is particularly annoying to not only himself
but his friends, and possibly it might have
been better for all concerned, ifhis letter had
never been written.

Perfection of Railway Travel.


The Inauguration. by the Baltimore ant
Ohio, Philadelphia and Reading and Jersey
Central railways of the famous Royal Blue
I.ine" between New York and Washington
via Philadelphia aud Baltimore, was an event
Of the greatest importance to travellers, and
it is very gratifying to chronicle the great
success and popularity 1t has attained. Il
deserves it FULLY for it is emphatically the
best line ever run between the two cities.
We say the BEST from personal experience,
for we have travelled over it and its COM
peting lines, and when we say that over the
''B. & o." route the highest realization and
perfection Of railway travel is attained, we
are but giving it just praise. It's trains are
the safest, the finest and fastest in America,
and are run ION time" A yestibuled limi-
ted express, equipped 50 completely and
luxuriously as to leave nothing to be desired,
is run between New York and Washington
in each direction in exactly five hours, which
is not only the fastest time ever made be-
tween the two cities but islthe fastest train
in America, and the splendid road bed of the
route permits the speed with perfect safety.
One can realize what fast train this is when
it is considered that the distance from Jer-
sey City to Washington is almost exactly
the same as from Boston to New YORK,
whereas six hours is the fastest time ever
made between the latter cities. The Royal
Blue Lines train from Jersey City to Wash
ingtou performs the journey in four hours
aud forty-eight minutes. Notwithstanding |
the superior equipment and train service of |
this line, no extra fares are charged on any
Of its trains. Palatial day coaches accom-
pauy all its trains, open to the public at the
regular fare, and only the usual charges are
made for accommodations in sleeping and
parlor cars.
There are six Royal Blue Line" trains
ZACH way, daily, between New York and
Washington All of them are composed ex-
lusively of vestibuled cars, protected by
anti-telescoping device, heated by
team and lightedby the Pintsch gas system.
We heartily recommend this route to all
ur readers and advise them to take it and
one other, for it is not only the best as re-
ards speed, luxury and equipment, but it 4
xacts no extra charge on any of its trains.-

School Fund.


Who shall handle the school fund
The articles relative to this matter which
occurred in our contemporaries the Del
aaa,e DemOoat and SUSSEX Journal
last week, we consider very plausible sug-
gestions for the solution of this matter.
The tax collectors are already compelled
under a penalty Of $50, to collect the
school taxes Of the various districts if so
requested by the school board, and as a
result, they collect the taxes for ninety
nine per cent Of the districts The col
lector is bonded officer; this collection
is all right Now instead Of his turning
this tax over to the school clerks, if our
General Assembly would enact law re-
quiring the collectors to collect all the
taxes and turn them over to the county
treasurer; this officer to open an account
with each district, crediting the district
with its share Of the school fund and the
amount of taxes collected therefrom, and
10 pay the bills Of said district on an
order from the County Superintendent,
or the local school committee; the funds
would then be in the hand of bonded Off
GERS, and a truly safe and businessIike
system provided without the creation Of
single Office beyond those already pro-
vided for, and the dangers ofthe present
tax and unsatisfactory management
would be averted. The provision in the
bill now pending the action Of the Legis-
lature to pay the clerks $40 each, would
cost the State between S4, 900 and 5000
without securing any better system. A
responsible citizen would not bond for
an insignificant sum Of SO, as he would
find no inducement in such a salary and
as a result, greater difficulty would be ex-
in consequence Of the bond
to get responsible citizens to
ierve as clerk. Under this arrangement,
he autonomy Of the districts would be in {
10 way abridged.
They would determine just as they do
low the amount Of tax to be levied, the 7

DEPENDING upon the Legislature to
help them carry all of their poll taxables,
the Democratic leaders of Sussex county
have made no general effort to pay the
taxes of their people; aud so these voters
have now new experience before them.
We hazard the assertion, that there are
hundreds Of men who vote the straight
Democratic ticket every year, who have
never paid one cent of tax-and whose
taxes have not been paid for them, but
have always been carried by the collec-
tors, and finally allowed to their credit
as ''errors" by the levy court. But this
condition of affairs has reached the point
when a radical change must take place.
Republicans have control Of the levy
court, aud the usual order could not be
maintained. The collectors have re-
turned many hundreds of these poll tax
payers, who have failed to respond to the
many calls for their tax, and the EVeIy
EoeNigg is bawling like a spoiled baby,
because this has been done. The men,
ory OF Republicans hunting Democratic
collectors to pay their peoples poll taxes,
and the decision by our judges in the
Mandamus Cases must have faded rapidly |
from its horoscope. The whole system
isdamnable, but the Democratic party GER
tainly should be able to take its own
medicine. It has been a proud boast of
that party, that Delaware is naturally
Democratic, and the change from Demo
cratic power TO Republican government
for two brief years has shown how shall
low that boast is. For this reason alone
It was intended that the Legislature
should assist them to continue their
power, by stealing the county govern
ment Of Sussex; and we hope that their
will be enough manhood in the General I
Assembly Of Delaware to respect the ex-
pressed will Of the majority at the ballot S
'ox, and let the present law take its 6
,ourse, or repeal it altogether. t

If the recent developments in the
State Treasury affairs and the Sussex
county bogus order business are criter-
ions to judge by,it would be grand good
thing for Delaware to put the Republi-

ness methods into her government.
