THE problem for the great railroad
corportions to master is that of wages
with its employees. President Ingalls,,
of the Chesapeake & Ohio, lone Of the
big FOUR thinks that a cooperative
plan of profit sharing with the men is
the best method of meeting the grow
ing difficulties of the labor problem.
This plan of placating and interesting
the men would be a decidedly new de-
parture in railrOading None of the
large railroads and, so far as known,
only one smaller company has tried
the cooperative method. He states
his method thus:
"For instance, ifyour capital is $780,
100000, and the wages of the employ
ees in the year amount to S5,000,000,
let that be the rate of division. II
your surplus earnings are S650,000 q
year it would be one per cent for the
stockholders and one per cent to the
employees. An employee, then, who
had served for the entire year without
accident caused by his own negligence
would receive his one per cent on the
amount Of his pay.

Interstate Quarantine
SHALL BOMBAY HOOK BE TAKEN FOR
THE LOCATION?

SHALL BOMBAY HOOK BE TAKEN FOR
THE LOCATION?
The question now is, shall Bombay
Hook be taken for the location of the
Quarantine now at the Lazraette. near
Chester. There is united cry from
all the cities and towns up the
river to move it away from them and
place it down the river, and it looks as
if there is strong disposition to place
it at Bombay Hook and thus near US.
The following account of the meeting
of the City and State Boards of Health.
held last week in Wilmington, will
show the spirit that dominated many
of I'll e members:
DIR. Cooper, of Camden, Kent
county, presided and the attendance
was large. The object of the meeting
was announced by J. T. Budd, mem
ber of the Delaware quarantine com.
mission.
Ward r. Bliss, a member of the
Pennsylvania legislature, made a long
speech. The quarantine at the Laza-
rette, he said, has been bothering
Pennsylvanians for 20 years. II is
inadequate for the purpose for which it
was built and is a menacet to the people
of Delaware county. 1t is desired to
establish a more modern station, one
which will protect the entire river and
bay aud the cities and towns thereon.
He hoped Delaware would give Penn
| sylVania permission TO erect in this
State a quarantine station that will
protect both states.
DIR. FOrwoOd, of Chester, said the
present station ls located in a popu.
lCus district and it is desired to build
somewhere remote from a built.up
section. The present station, he de.
olared, is inadequate. It Is no place
to take patients or suspects and vessels
canRot be properly fumigated there.
The establishment Of q station TO be
used by the three states bordering on
the Delaware he thought Is needed.
Mayor Coates, of Chester, said
Pennsylvanians do not wish to thrust
their pesthouse on anybody else. The
| present station, he asserted, is a men.
ace to Delawareans, because the boats
plying between this city and Philadel.
phia go within 100 yards of It.
J. I. Budd mentioned places which
had been visited in the search for a
site for a new station. Among them
he Ramed Deep Water Point, on the
New Jersey shore, Fort Delaware,
Reedy Island. Collins Beach, Liston
Point and Bombay Hook. Reedy
Island is the most desirable place, he
said, but it is too near Port Penn. The
next best place is Bombay Hook. II

IF Senator Higgins can in any way
be considered an exponent of the Re-
publican party, the "Force Bill' is to
be relegated to the shelves of unfin-
ished legislation. In his speech before
the convention in in Dover last week,
the bill, he said, was defeated in part
by Republican votes; that 10 two
years time there had been a great
change in the south, indicating that
the people there in their capacity as
states were going ID set these inequali-
ties straight without the aid of
Federal legislation. He did not be-
lieve, therefore, that the bill would
ever be heard of again in Congress.
The farmers there had taken it in
hand, and it is doubtful to which one
of the electoral candidates several
of the Southern states will cast their
electoral vote. The resolutions adop-
ted at the same meeting affirmed the
same sentiment in the resolution which
said 1--WE believe that the long reign o.
such wickedness in all the Southern
States, as we'll as in the state of Della
ware is coming to its end, and nOt
through Federal statutes" For the
states to settle the question themselves
will certainly be preferable, to any
interference of the Federal Govern
ment.

Is 10 miles long and has a splendid
anchorage. He also described the sys-
tenn of disinfection at New York and
Boston. Abiding again to Bombay
Hook he said it has all the essential
qualities and is for sale.
DIR. Vallandigham, of Middletown,
favored general quarantine for Della
ware river and bay.
DR.. Springer, port physician, said he
had not had time to thoroughly look
into the question. Vessels are respon-
sible Tor bringing contagious diseases
here. Has had less work to do as
port physician since the marine hos
pital was established at the Break
water. If quarantine station in
Pennsylvania is an annoyance 10 the
citizens there, he asked. why should
not one in Delaware be an annoyance
to the people here? That is the only
question he had heard raised as far al
Delaware is concerned.
DR.. ForwoOd said it would be non
sense for Pennsylvania to set up 1
| quarantine station up the river, Della
ware one further down and New Jer-
sey one in another place. If the plac,
suggested could not be occupied, ht
| asked, could not station be estHb
| lished at the Break water.
DR.. Cooper said the people of Ken
county would object to u station al
Bombay Hook, and DR.. EllegOOd salt
the people of Sussex would object t
one at Lewes. If Chester people Gale
the Lazaretta a pest house, DR.. CoOpe
asserted, the people of Kent count
would call station at Bombay Hoo
pest house.
The State Board of Health will me'
in October to take action on the mai
ter. 1t will report to the State Qua
antine Committee which will report
Governor Reynolds.
The Governor will embOdy the r
port in his biennial message to Il
General Assembly which will me,
next January.
Mr.. Budd said Delaware had l
place to send persons affected vii
smallpox or yellow fever except Il
almshouse. Pennsylvania may deciC
to take the Lazarette from Chest
and buy Bombay Hook and remove
there

BOTH the political parties held their
last State Convention last week TO

the principles on which they enter the
canvass.
What are said on general principles
have been so often set forth as to be

rights of the state, as the following
