Japanese For Protection.

In a recent interview in Japan between

aid and Count S. Okuma, exminiSter of
finance, the statesman said; For time
our young men who We're sent abroad
returned to us with an inclination to-
ward the Manchester school-that is TO
say, those who gave political economy
any sort of Investigation were inclined
to be free traders. Today we have very
large and intelligent class turning to-
ward protection. Count Okuma. who Is
free trader, also said. Our cotton
mills and silk factories, iron and steel
works, etc, with our cheap and skillful
labor, will enable us to enter any mar
ket in the world +" The candor of the
Japanese ex-minister is refreshing. The
complaeency with which he speaks Of
Cheap labor stamps him as confirm

Opening of Our Public Schools.

The school children started out Mon
day morning with books in hand to
enter upon another years work. Two
months of vacation have been pleasant
~ spent and now with the opening of
another scholastic year, it means a re.
newed effort on the part of scholars
and teachers to make the coming year
profitable one.
Prot. Charles Howell LeFevre comes
to us well recommended as a teacher
and disciplinarian, and he has taken
hold in business-like manner. Parents
can have 10 fear that our new principal
will not enforce rigid discipline. The
school needs it badly, and when this
Is done more work can be ACCOMPLISHED
with better results. One Of the first
steps our principal did was to make a
ground rule, and no scholar is allowed
to leave the grounds during school
hours. This idea Of teachers and
scholars running to the pOst-ofiice dur
ing recess was very uDbecomiug, and
we are glad to see it end Prof. Le-
FeVre will no doubt take this matter
in hand gradually and in a short while
elevate the standard of our High
School both in an educational and dis
ciplnary manner.
-Four of our Commissioners were pres
ent at the opening exercises aud Wis.
tied the different schools These were
President John II. HoHeck ker, Secretary
h. M. Fowler and commissioners B. v.
Weldon and George NJ. Stevenson.
President HOlieCker i'm a few chosen
remarks introduced Prof. Charles II.
LeFevre TO the chOol and the relation
that should exist between principal
and scholars. Prof. LeFevre answered
the Introductory remarks and mmedi
ately entered upon his duties. The
commissioners visited the other depart
ments, made few remarks and left
well pleased with the prospects of the
coming year.
The schools opened with a good at
tendance. Several new scholars have
entered The high school has a larger

LANES.

The death of Thomas James, for one
of his quiet, methodical life was almost
IN tie line of the tragic. 1t had been
his custom for some years to spend his
summers in Ocean Grove. 1t was said
to him year or two ago half playfully
that at his advanced age he might die
of there sometime. His reply, that
"he had as lief go to Heaven from
Ocean Grove as anywhere else" had
the equivalent of prophesy in its full
fillment. He was one of the large con-
gregatiOn at the Love Feast and
preaching services in the Auditorium
on Sunday morning of last week. He
was not about the next two or three
days, but not indisposed enough to
cause any concern. His wife went out
to meeting on Wednesday evening, but
shortly after it commenced the follow
ing announcement was read from the
platform Mrs. James husband is
dying, she must leave the auditorium
at once" Mrs. James fortunately only
caught one word Of the announcement,
that of James,; and thinking possibly
1t might refer to her husband, she pro-
ceeded home, to find him i'll in the sit
tlng-rOom, from heart trouble The
next morning he was able to be moved
to his bed upstairs and seemed better
through the day. One of the last
callers was Rev. G w. Burke. between
8 and 6 O'Clock Thursday evening. Mr..
James chatted with him cheerfully as
usual, but went off suddenly, by the
time Mr.. Burke was ii square away.
The remains were brought to Smyrna
on Friday and inferred in the Odd
Fellows cemetery on Monday after.
noon.
Mr.. James came from New jersey to
the vicinity of Magnolia in 1850. and
moved to Smyrna in 1875. He had ac-
cumulated large estate. He leaves
no children. He had reached the ad-
vanced age of So years months. Rev.
A. Stengle, as in the case Damed above.
Oficiated at the funeral.

Sunday. at the Churches.

Sunday was an ideal day after the
long heated term. 1t was the first dav
of the fall season, when most persons
are supposed to have gotten through
with the vacations and designations of
the summer and settled down to their
respective occupations. This is so ex-
cept in few instances. This disturbed
relation of society is especially felt at
the churches. Sunday brought q change
OF things for the better. Rev. Geo. w.
Dame, whose church, st. Peters, was
closed for the month of August, was
home from Virginia and in his place
Sunday, to the qualification of his par
ish. At the Presbyterian church, Rev.
J. ). Estlin, of Philadelphia, preached
for the second time to the usual con-
gregatiOn. Rev. A. Stengle, who had
been absent for two Sundays, Though
having his pulpit supplied in his alb
seuce) was greeted by a full auditor
ium, and discOursed earnestly and
timely from the passage, Here am /,
send me" drawing inspiration from the
vision of Isaiah, where his lips were
touched with live coal from off the
altar, The discourse was intended to
enforce the idea of individual work and
responsibility, the speaker BELIEVING it

Sale of Real Estate.

Two important sales of real estate
have been made the past week. The
major Black" property, on uppeI
Main street, which has been the resi-
dence of the late Mrs Joseph Bur.
chenal, was purchased by James p
HOtecker, of this town, for S4.SOO
The property was sold by the admin.
istratOrs, to settle the estate. Mr.
Hodecker will not get possession until
after the SudleT- Culbreth wedding
which is to take place there the middle
of October.
Another sale cOnsummated the past
week is that of the ED. DeFord''
property, On Mt. Vernon street, which
was purchased with entire household
furniture. The price has been with
held, but upon an interview with the
purchaser it was stated that about
$4,000 for both was paid. This dwell
ing is almost entirely new, having
been built by Mr.. DeFord a little
over a year ago.
Both properties are desirable resi-
dences, especially the former, which
has all the modern cOnveniences of a
handsome residence. The dwelling is
of brick and has been so arranged
from time TO time as to be complete in
all its departments. One of the most
attractive features of this residence is
the beautiful green ivy which creeps
along the sides. In fact the side fac.
ing Mt. Vernon street is completely
covered with this mass of green aud is
admired frequently by pedestrians
going in that direction. There is
plenty of ground room to the dwelling,
as well as a nice stable and driveway
leading thereto.

The law now in force in New York
was enacted under the reign of Tam
many Hall with the expectation of
David 3. Hill and others that it would
be violated only when used by police
or political pull in obtaining Doodle.
Mr.. Roosevelt, the chairman of the new
commissioners, believing that laws
were made to be enforced. has done so
to the dismay of the liquor dealers
who did not think it could be done.
and for a time resisted. They have
finally given in, and Sunday is now
dry day" there as will appear in the
New York correspondence of the
Philadelphia Ledger:
The visitor to New York who has
ever been here before must be sur
prised at one very marked change.
On his former visit he saw that the
several thousand saloons in the CITY
always had the curtains of their win
dOws closely drawn and their side
doors unlocked. Now in going along
the streets he notices that the curtains
are up, and the deserted bar is ex.
posed to public view. The side door
is, of course, locked. This was parti-
cularly noticeable to-day, because so
many of the saloon keepers, members
of the Liquor Association, which voted
last week to obey strictly the Sunday
liquor law, gave up all struggle with
the police, and as sign of surrender
raised their curtains This has become
now a sign of observance of the law.
There can be violation only in conceal
ment, and so long as the bar is visible
from the street it is a guarantee that
business is suspended in obedience to
statutes.

THE Defender won again Friday of
course. 1t was the last of the trial
races, in all of which the superiority of
the new yacht has been shown beyond
peradventure. TO be sure, the first
race was awarded to the Vigilant, but
not because she was the faster boat.
The last race was a beat of ten miles to
windward, and then run home before
the wind. In the windward work the
Defender gained about 5! minutes on
the Nigilant; at the finish she was 5
minutes u seconds ahead, the Vigilant
having gained a few seconds free. But
there is some reason to believe, or ar
ieast to suspect, that the Defender has
not thus far done her best, reserving
that until she tries conclusions with
the Naikyrie; so more than one sur
prise may be in store when the inter.
national races are sailed. In being
selected to meet the British challenger
every American has faith in his own
boat and the contest will likely be one
OF decided interest.

JUSTICE BREWER, Of the Supreme
Court of the United States, in his ad.
dress before the American Bar Associ.
alton, at Detriot, laid down some strong
rules concerning the tardiness which
went on in our courts. His remarks
were full of force and vigOr, aud the
many excellent suggestions he makes
would apply well to the Delaware
Courts. His suggestions deserve at.
tention as coming from one who is
thoroughly cOnversant with the course
of justice in this country and well ac-
quainted with the defects of our fu-
dieial system. He spoke in part as
follows:
The administration Of Justice would
soon be considered a mockery if first
impressions controlled every case. But
expedition can be obtained
dgtracting from fullest exauoi
nation and consideration. Shorten the
time of process, Cnrtail the right of
contIndsnces. When one case has been
commenced, deny to every Other court
the right to interfere, or take iurisdic-
ton of any matter that can be brought
5y either party into the pending litiga-
ton. Limit the right of review. Ter
inmate all review in an appellate court.
Instead of assuming that injury WAS
done if error is shown, require the party
complaining Of judgment or decree to
show afirmatively that if that error
had not been committed the result
must necessarily have been different.
In criminal cases. there should he
no appeal. / say it with reluctance
but the truth is that you can trnst a
jury to do justice to the accused witb
more safety than you can an appellate
court to secure protection to the Dubiic
by the speedy punishment of a criminal
10 guard against any possible wrong
60 an accused board of review and
pardOEs might be created.
The tFnth of it is, brethren. that in
our desire TO perfect a system of ad-
ministration, one which shall finally
extract from confused masses of facts
and hetlons the absolute and intimate
verities, we forget that tardy Justice is
often gross injustice. Better an occa-
ssonal blunder on the part of a jury or
Justice OF the Peace than the habit of
protFacted litigation.
IF oar profession is to maintain its
prominence, if it is going to continue

and directs the movements of society.

be required.
