Evasion OF the Law.
by Telegraph TO the Evening Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The Cana
dams, with view of evading the 20
cent tolls to be imposed in accordance
with the terms of the PRESIDENT
proclamation on and after September on
all Manitoba wheat shipped through the
st. Mary's canal, are proposing TO evade
the requirements of the proclamation by
shipping in Canadian bottoms from Du.
luth to Port Huron to be tranship.
ped from that point by the
Grand Trunk line through Can
ada This matter being brought
to the attention of the Treasury depart
ment, Assistant Secretary Spaulding
today sent the following explicit tele-
gram to the solicitor of the Grand Trunk
Railroad company:
Hon. E. w. Meddaugh, Detroit, Mich.
Neither Manitoba nor domestic wheat can
be carried into Canada bottoms from
Duluth TO Port Huron as it would
be in violation OF our cOasting
laws. But II carried in American bottoms II IL
not subject to tolls. II carried through the
canal from Duluth TO Sarnia for consumption

In has been demonstrated too often TO
require demonstration now, that man
who becomes sore head in political
party from personal pique, is not valu-
able TO either party. lie is not of any
service to the one he Processes to adhere

To attempt TO appease him is the work
Of a lifetime and valueless when It shall
have been accomplished, If that can be
done. II cannot be done except by Civ.
ing him what Richilicu demanded Of the

power Il would be necessary for
the party to renounce it's in
dependence, to sacrifice principle
and stultify itself TO appease the inap
peaseable sorehead whose personal ambi
lions have not been gratifed, whose polit-
ical nav is so capacious that it cannot
be filed II is impossible to reason with
a sorehead He is not amenable to rea-
son. He expects to pout and
sulk like sick boy who will
not be satisfied, when once dis
appointed, even with the promise Of
the earth and fence around it. Such a
man is illogical, often almost insane. In
such case there is nothing for party
to do but ignore and defy him. The
Democratic party in Delaware has few
such cases They have been ignored and de-
fed heretofore; there is nothing to do but
ignore and defy them now They are
like the Mugwumps in the Republican
party, too big TO be led, not big enough TO
lead. They are not like the Mugwumps
however, in being virtuous and dis
interested. They are quite the con-
trary neither virtuous nor dis
interested They are vain, foolish, dis.
loyal They are political cripples
unable to help themselves and unwilling
to allow anybody else to do what they
cannot do and would not do if they could
assist in the promotion of set Of pc.
litical principles They are engaged in
promoting themselves and choose the
meanest, most craven way to do it, They
are astonished that all other men do not
weep with them over their private griev-

Everything Prepared for the FAN Term
by Principal Goidey-Many Improve
ments Made.
The fall and winter term Of the Goldey
Wilmington Commercial college will be-
gin on Thursday, September 1.
Students from a distance have already
begun TO arrive and in few days
the Institute Building will be alive with
young men and women who long to be
bank cashiers and spectators, pretty
typewriters and stenographers
The faculty for the coming school year
is particularly strong 1t is as follows:
H. s. Goldey, principal, superintendent
OF course of instructions f. Taylor, super
intendent business practice department /;
j. NJ. Wade, secretary, superintendent
theory department; Matte d. Stirling, sup
erintendent photographic department
M. Bessie Flemming, intermediate de-
partment, assistant in book keeping and
arithmetic Bessie r. Clark, private sec
rotary and general assistant; Amy c.
Ewing assistant in book keeping and
arithmetic; Margaret l. Rice assistant in
department of photography and type
writing; Henry G. Conrad, ESQ.
Lecturer on Commercial Law Banking.
Finance and Business Customs; Prof
VIM. A. Reynolds, Lecture on Practical
Bookkeeping and Expert Accounting;
Rev w. H. $. Murray, Phi, d.. ID. ID,
Lecturer on Business Ethics and Political
Economy.
Many radical improvements have been
made in the arrangement of the college
rooms and equipment since the last term
closed. The walls of the several rooms
have been decorated with light tints
that make the rooms very cheerful
Two partitions have been torn out on
the second floor, reserving one room at
the north ind for hand
somely furnished reception room and
small private Office This office
opens into a large assembly room
divided by glass partition, which, by a
novel device is moved on brass track
and when run back only occupies a
space of about four feet. BY this means
the assembly room may be in few
seconds divided into two large and airy
class-rooms, known as the theory depart
ment and the business department
The actual business department is
fitted up with bank, commission house,
importing and iobbing house. agency
and freight Office. The student
serves thorough apprenticeship
in each department, and, as soon as he
is competent, takes complete charge.
The offices are real structures. The two
rooms described have a seating capacity
of 125
On the third floor is the intermediate
department with a seating capacity of 66
| preparatory department, 40, and short
hand and type-wrting depart
ment. 90. When the college
opened six years ago only one
room was used Since that time eight
rooms have been taken and converted
into six. Last year the attendance was
800, ninety-three of whom came from
eighty-three places and several states.
The attendance this year will doubtless
be equally large, if not larger
In addition to other features there is a
very complete library for the use of stu
dents. The night class VIII begin work
on October 3. Electric lights will be one
of the pleasant features of this depart
ment of the work

To the Editor of the Evening journal.
SIR: Statements in the Sunday Star
of yesterday and the Morning News Of
Wednesday, which were certainly founded
on prejudice, have sought to elevate the
First Regiment band in the eyes of the
community by crushing to the earth
Hyatt's Military band and the reputation
of its members. The first statement was
an immense lie about the First Regiment
band during Centennial week, 1876, re-
ceiving $40 and $15 per man for each day.
The man who wrote the Sunday Star
article says: 1--WE played open air con
certs eight years ago. That
fellow did not know how to hold
his instrument eight years ago
| wish to state that there was no such
an organization here as the First Regi-
ment band at that time. Several must
clans from this city, being one of them,
did play that engagement, but not in any
First Regiment band II was the United
Cornet band, and not one Of us received
any such price. The reason that
the First Regiment band cannot
compete with our sister bands. ."
is solely because they cannot play the
music with either the spirit or effect
of its competitors. The writer is a mu-
stefan, knows good music when he hears
it and knows something about fair play
These same musicians who now
Cannot compete" with their neighbors,
We're the very men who brought down
