speculating Directors.

The impression is gaining ground in
financial and railroad circles that the
chief cause of disaster to railroad proper
ties is the dishonesty of railroad directors
and railroad arrangements. The truth
about railroad earnings is hidden, so that
directors and managers may speculate in
the securities of the roads they control.
There is very decided movement in
New York to put a stop to railroad wreck
ing The developments in the Atchison
and other wrecked railroad prop
critics have startled investors in railroad
securities both in this country and
Europe.
Thomas p. Fowler, president Of the
New York Ontario and Western
railroad, speaking of this railroad
wrecking business on THURSDAY,
said: The great trouble with so
many of our railroads is that
they are run for clique, and not for
the people who have invested their money
in them. They are run for the directors
and not for the stockholders. There
should be some radical change. Some
thing should be done which would make
it impossible for specializing directors
and officers to appropriate to Their own
use the money which belongs to stock
holders, and which would be a safe.
guard against the running of the roads
into receivers hands. The stockholders
should be represented by their own ac-
countants, and the inside working Of
the companies should not be secret"
What is needed is close scrutiny Of
railroad accounts by an accountant who
can be relied upon. The stockholders
and other security holders Will then be
informed of the actual condition of their
property at all times
it is evident they can no longer depend
upon directors. In too many instances
directors have proven themselves un-
worthy Of the trust confded to them.

by an unprecedented plurality There is a
difference of only 2449 votes between his
plurality and that of H. S. Mott, who "an-

Republican party was factor in American

Mott ran for Canal Commissioner, an Office
we believe somewhat different from seat
in Congress, and while we are on this sub
ject, we again clip from the Philadelphia
Times (an authorize on such matters) and
give what it says:
"Since the Republican majority in PENN
sylyania scores away up over the 100000, it
is matter of slight importance whether
the figures shall settle down 10000 above or
below the estimates published yesterday
morning. When mans head is taken off
it is of little consequence as to fingers and
toes. The Democrats have simply been
walloped out of their boots and the floor
mopped up with them by their victorious
adversaries. 1t was regular waterloo
and explanations or apologies are not in.

Delaware Mortnaons

A recent cencus bulletin which gives
real estate mortgage statistics Of majority
of the States and Territories, shows that the
per capita debt of Delaware is 500, being a
small fraction less than 16 per cent. of the
value of the taxed real estate ofthe State.
Compared with other States on the list,
this is fairly favorable showing. New
York stands at the head, with per capita
Indebtedness of $26s, and ratio between
the Indebtedness and the taxable value of
over 80 per cent, Nevada shows the lowest
percentage, only 4.59. The number of
mortgages on Delaware real estate in force
on January 1st, 1890, was 9,641, and their
amount, S16,122 ,696. The capita debt for
New Castle county was $780, for the rest of
the Sta te, $50. The annual interest charge
was 1921 sa6, showing an average interest
rate of 5.71 per cent. In only three of the
States given does the average interest rate
fall below his-Massachusetts, 541; Penn
sylvania, 5 81, and Con necticut, 5.64.

ment and Aid Registration.
Deputy Collector OF. Revenue Amos Stay
ton has been visiting the Celestial residents
of Wilmington and presenting each house
holder witli-a message in Chinese charac-
tiers, which purports TO be a message from
Collector Vandever of Baltimore, telling
the Cinnamon that if they do not hurry up
and get registered they will all be sent
back to the fowery kingdom.
Generally when handed the posters by Mr..
Stayton the Cinnamon would burst out
laughing as if it were all something very
funny.
Information was received at the revenue
office in Wilmington that the Celestials
have already commenced having their tin
types taken. The deputy collector was
asked how he would distinguish one
photo from another, or how he would iden-
tify the picture with the original.
He was not quite sure. But he knows
one Wilmington Chinamin who has but
one eye He can teHthat man sure from
the other 80. ThsrsfGre he knows one any
how. He fears he will have to lump all the
Others together.

GROWERS EBOUT TO STRIKE.

All Their Correspondence In Regard to
Lower Rates Accomplished Nothing.
All the'correspondence of the Wicomico
melon-grower with the railroad companies,
in regard to better freight rates on melons,;
has accomplish nothing of advantage to the
truckers. Many Of them assert that they
will ship by vessel. Others say. that. they
have abandoned the idea Of growing
melons for market.
1t is safe to assert that fewer melons will
be grown in Wicomico this season than in
previous years. The committee appointed
to confer with the railroads insisted that
the companies make no extra charge for
excess over $4,000 pounds as a minimum
carload except for the excess of over 80, 900
pounds. The companies agents said this
proposition could not be entertained.
