While Delaware is rich In agricultural
and horticultural products. It's paying
mineral resources are limited to granite
and elays Of various kind. Iron Is found
In some Of the hills In New Castle
county and In the boEs Of Sussex, but
not in paying quantities The deposits
In Iron Hill near Newark have been par
TALLY removed, but the work there
stopped several years ago. The last
General Assembly granted a charter to a
company which announced that II would
work the iron out OF the bogs Of Sussex
county. While the members frankly
told the incorporators that such iron
could not be put on the market In com
petitien with the product Of Psnnsyl
vania and other great iron centres, they
expressed q willingness TO give them
every opportunity to mako the expsri-
ment. No bog oar has been removed
under that charter.
Delawareans have no direct interest
Ia the mineral output Of the country al
large, but. as consumers Of the fnishe,
product they are vitality interested, a.
the output Of raw material has every.
thing to do with the price Of the hbishe,
goods manufactured therefrom.
The compiled statement made by Tn
geological survey Of the minera
products Of the United States, covering
the calendar years from 1885 to 1894
gives the following figures, whicl
appeal to the pride Of every American
citizen, no matter where be may live:

only one passenger hnvlnglbeon killed ont
OF each 9i2.6 6iS carried, or for each "A =
lO3 226 miles travelled and one injured out
Of each 2Ol PAS carried, or for each
4 700 III miles travelled, showing that
not many II any more people are killed
while travelling than while about their
ordinary business And while this must
prove satisfactory TO tho travelling
public 1t Is in striking contrast to the
number Of railroad employees killed
Reports show that during the year
1894 1928 railway employees we're killed
and % 400 we're injured, rs compared
with . 727 killed and 81, 729 injured in
1898. Among passengers there were
only during the same period 324 killed
and 8, 30i injured. To show the ratio OF
casualty, IL may be stated that one
employe was killed out Of every 42S
Ia service and one injured out OF every
30 employed. The trainmsn perform the
most dangerous service one out Of every
1853 employed having been killed and one

Official bonds should be absolutely
binding upon both principals and sure
ties. There should be no lcop-hols Of
escape. When the courts Of Delaware
have so decided there win be fewer
rsscals In Office, fewer defalcations
reported and fewer suretles to regret
that they had too much faith In man
kind and too little faith in the suficiency
Of the law.
Men are too prone to 80 on the bonds
Of other men. They too quickly assume
that their action is mere matter Of
form, and that they viii never be called
upon to meet the shortcomings Of the
principals.
New Castle county should have the
money which John J. Dougherty stole
while he was county tax collector for
Wilmington hundred. It was paid by
the people for county purposes and not
for the personal benefit Of John j..
Doughorty.
We recognlzs the hardship which such
payment would entail upon his sureties,
but that does not alter the case. They
obligated themselves to stand between
the taxpayers and John J. Dougherty aud
they ahsuld do 80. They assumed the
liability because they believed their
principal to be honest. BY their action
they placed him in a position which he
used TO betray his party aud friends.
When too late for their own salvation
they appealed to the Levy Court to be
relieved. but that body saw ct to make
them realize, to It's fullest extent, the
depth Of their friends rascAlity.
They should not play the baby act In
Chsneery. but walk up like men, make
good the shortage, have the bond
satisfied and let it remain on record as Q
testimonial Of Dougherty's appreciation
Of past personal and political fsvors.

tended formor national encampments Of
the G. A. r.. say they. never saw such a
large attendance on che first day Of the
great reunion week. All railways had
extra trains which were heavily loaded.
Many Sons of Veterans are here en-
route to thoir national encampmont at
Knoxville. There arc others here who
never attended these oncampmonts before
and who are now en- route to the reunion
OF the Army Of the Tennessee at Cincin-
natl the first Of next week and to the del
egation OF tho National park on the bat
tlonold of Chickamauga the last of next
week.
Thore is no doubt of the fulnllmont of
the general prediction that there viii be
moro Union Veterans together this week
than ever before. Losses by deaths yearly
ineroasc but the desire to visit old bat
tlenelds and confer with Confederate vet
erans, who are doing everything to enter
tain their northern visitors, has attracted
thousands who have not heretofore attend
ed national encampment
The Confederate veterans are here in
force. Tho comrades hunt up members Of
their old regiments and brigades and then
meDt Confodcrates belonging to regiments
and brigades that opposed them, when
they confer about how things went on
both sides and have suoh reunions as have
not been seen since the service Of over 80
years ago
Stars and Stripes Everywhere.
The decorations may have been richer
IN triumphal arches and other designs at
ono or two other oncampmcnts, but at
mono was a city so profusely or generally
decorated with American flags as is Louis
villo today. It's business blocks, public
aud private buildings and homes arc liter
ally covered with fostoons of red, white
and blue, with the American flag as the
ocnterpieces Of overy conceivable design.
The flag is the thing that is displayed
eyerywhore and no city ever had more
bunting ont than this city shows today.
Tho distinctive nature of the decorations
Is the use OF the red, white and blue to
the exclusion of overy other color, even
tho cycrgroon arches. The portraits OF all
Union generals were displayed, and in
unlimited profusion. The Confederate
veterans participated in all this decorating
as well as in the entertaining.
The words of Wntterson about this oc-
casion have been heard all over the coun.
try, but the deeds Of Haldoman win be
known only by those who see The Courier
