Not Quite Finished.

The new school building, on North White
street, although about completed, will not be
ready for occupancy for a few weeks.
Finishing touches are required in several
places and general cleaning up will be nee
essary before the building can be made
ready for the furniture. The blackboards
have been placed in the classrooms. The
building is entirely different from any other
school structure in the town and seems to be
superior in point of light and means of en-
frances and exits. 1t is certainly far arsuperor
to the West street building.

Kent county unanimously authorized AMI

these men to work on the streets or roads
Of the county. Delaware will deserve to

Responsibility and Remuneration

Out Of the testimony given before the
coroner's jury engaged in investigating the
Atlantic City railroad horror, interesting
and instructive conclusions may already be
reached. although the jury has not yet
completed its work. 1t will not be Ques-
toned that so far as mechanical devices
were concerned, the crossing where the
slaughter took place was well guarded.
There were signals enough and there was
what appears to be an admirable system Of
inter,locking switches. So far as the pro-
lection offered the public went, it reached
the present altitude of human ingenuity.
But while sufficient cash expenditure had
been made as to the mechanism which,
secondarily, did the work, little attention
was paid to the factor Of human fallibility.
The massacre on the meadows last Thurs
day was not caused by the man on duty in
the switch-tower, but those people who
have read the evidence must have won-
dered at the safety which attended the
passing of thousands of trains. The man
in the tower combines the duty Of switch
man and telegraph operator. He is sup
posed to be actively engaged for twelve
hours day, seven days a week; he is paid
$40 month. Tie marvel Is that the num-
ber Of lives sacrificed in railroad travel is
so small

Pointing Out n Danger.

Senator Faulkner chairman of the demo-
cratic congressional committee proclaims a
danger ahead which Ii is well worth any
mans while to consider. He expresses the
fear that as things are going, this cam
paign may develop INTO contest between
the poor and the rich: or, as the phrase of
the day puts 1t, between the masses and
the classes Mr.. Faulkner deplores this.
and with reason. All men should deplore It,
All men should endeavor to avert such a
calamity. Calamity it would be, for If in
any country on the globe the interests of
labor and capital are united-are interde-
pendent-they are so united in this country
No injury of serious or lasting character
could happen to either without being deeply
felt by the other, and the man who seeks to
array the one against the other is public
enemy.
MIR. Faulkner lays the blame of the situa-
tton at the door of the republicans. He ac-
cuses them of openly consortins with and
championns the aggregated wealth of the
nation, and in that way adding to the sus-
picions and the discomfort of the farmers
and the waSe-earners. who are poor. The
republicans lay the blame at the door of
the democratic-populistic coalition, which,
they charge, Is intiaming the passions of the
dissatisfied and appealing to the discon-
tented OF all parties and sections, and prom
lslng everything in the name of cheap
money and reform. They assert that the
promise of the coalition. summed I'D, is but
an irreverent paraphrase of the most sacred
OF all promises: Come unto silver all We
who are discontented and in debt, and your
score snail be wiped out, and you yourselves
set upon your feet again.
1t may be just We'll to subordinate this
question of responsibility for the time being.
The fact itself Is serious enough; to deal
with II IS business enough. The responsible
lty, as Is often the case, may with Justice
PROBABLY be shared by both parties But II

gle War upon properly is a war upon
right. and, equally so, war upon labor is a
war against humanity. Both are entitled to
protection, and both should receive protec-

Moreover, the divisions are not upon the

rich men on both Sides and there are poor
men on both sides. "A good strong PARTISAN

Murder in Maryland.
,om the Baltimore American.

ErOn the bhltlmOre American.
No excuse can be alleged In Maryland
for the frequency of shcotings and lynch
irgs. 1t is Ole cf the oldest states in the
Union, and has good laws and offlcers But,
judging by recent transactions. brutal
crimes are certainly on the increase. The
delay in bringing offenders to justice, and
the possibility of their escape by reason of
the ponderouS and slowworking machinery
Of the law. may have something to do with
1t. Whatever may be the cause these
murders are seriously injuring the states
reputation. 1t Is an unfortunate condition
of things when a sheriff Is compelled to
bring a prisoner to Baltimore to prevent
his being lynched before the time for trial
arrives.
Two farmers in Hartford have a talk about
property, and bad blood shows ITSELF AL
most instantly one shoots down the other
with a gun.
In Prince Georges a man In his own
home Is shot dead by an assassin at mid
night. Nothing worse than this could hap
pen in the widest parts Of the west.
For the sake Of the states reputation
these murders must be stopped. The surest
way to stop them Is to execute the law ON
the offenders in the severest manner, and
as speedily as possible.

Speedy Trials Should BE H,d

Very few courts of law in this country
have their doclSets anything like up to date.
In some cities thousands of evil-doers have
gcne unpublished because it was not possible
for the courts to dispose of all the cases
sent TO them by grand juries. Nearly two
score indictments We're yesterday nolle
pressed in this city because. through lapse
of time and other factors, essential wit
nesses have died or otherwise removed
from this jurisdiction. Convictions in
these cases being no longer possible
the District attorney has removed them
from his program of business to be
attended to- In some Instances trials
would probably have resulted in YER
diets of mot guilty." but the chances
are, had the indicted persons been speedily
tried, that some criminals now at large
would have been justly punished. The moral
is plainly to Re seen. The force of judges
and prosecuting officers should be ample to
meet the conditions which are so conspicu-
ousiy displayed in this wholesale liberia
ton of those whom grand juries had
ieemed worthy the attention of Judge and

Philadelphia was once a great sinner in
this respect, but during recent years the
practice has been revolutionized, 30 that
now it is not eesy for one not worthy of
citizenship to secure a certificate of nat
uralization. This Is precisely as 1t should
be. Citizenship is an honor that ought not
to be lightly bestowed; easily secured 1t is
frequently regarded as being of but little
value except In cases Of emergency, and
then only. as a rule, in the country Of
which tho naturalized citizen Is a native.
Naturalization is in direct line with the
principles Of self-preservation; its advan-
tages should only be placed in the hands
of those who have. by reasonable educa-
ton. proved themselves worthy Of being
accepted as citizens of the republic.
