The New Jersey project known Ms
The Delaware Dam bill is a very OBJ.
poxious measure to the people of Pen
nsylyania. But there is money in 1t
and behind it. As a result, while 9TH
er legislation is neglected, this snake in
the grass has already reached third
reading in the Senate. Protests have
been made against the adoption OF the
measure both in the press and by inter.
ested citizens and public bodies; but
unless the opposition shall be made
more urgent no sense of fealty to the
public interest upon the the part of our
representatives in the Legislature will
avail to procure its defeat. There Is
money in itl-Phila. Record. Yes, it
took the vote of Salem county's Sena.
tor to pass 1t in the New Jersey Senate,
but we know it is not polite nor polite
to mention 1t and say "Thou art the
man." for the editor who does so often
gets hit in the pocket, but what de.
fence have the people if newspapers do
not expose enemies TO their public ill.,
terest. We believe that that law will
he more detrimental to Salem county
than a race track law would be, by
damaging Salem county's fishing inter-
est from which no man who derives a
profit directly or indirectly can escape
when 1t comes in a few years. One can
avoid the detriments of a race track by
keeping away or having nothing to do
with those who go, but there will he
no escape from the destruction of our
fishing interest.

Between 1890 and 1892 every strike
or lockout was blamed onto the Me-
Kinley tariff bill by the money power

1892 and 1896 all the strikes lockouts

money question is brought to the front
as the cause of the strikes, lockOuts,
and reduction in wages are published
very briefly, if at all. Last month there
was a strike of about 10000 clothing

ten and twelve hours a day and made
So a day. Now they make S. a week
and work eighteen hours a day. A
dollar which buys two days work is
much better than one which will only

don't see why they should complain

Wanamaker Has A Fever.

John Wauamaker has been severely
criticised for this recent speech in
which he said the promised prosperity
has not arrived. A Philadelphia daily
interviews the heads of the large de-
partment stores which are eating up
the little ones. In answer to Mr.. Nc
Kinley's berating of the pessimist and
those who are loosing confidence, he
says "To keep work for the six thou
sand and more persons in my employ
and turn away from the several hun
bred who apply daily and beg for the
privilege of labor to keep the wolf from
the door drives me into a fever, and l
must speak out. ANY citizen has that
right.

are only empty shells without kernels.

RUN ON THE ELKTON BANK
THE EMBARRASSMENT OF MIR.
SINCERELY CAUSED ALARM IN
THE TOWN.

Il AOn ~
Elkton, Dec. 27-The failure of the
Chestnut Street National Bank, of
Philadelphia, caused no little alarm
among the depositors of the Second
National Bank of Elkton, of which
William M. Singerly is a director and
vice-president.
A run was made upon the bank when
it opened its doors yesterday morning,
but every demand was met promptly,
and, confidence being restored, tho de-
positors in many cases returned with
the deposits and placed them in the
bank again. President William 4.
Warburton and the other directors,
James S. Hopper,J. j. Archer and l. ID.
Davis, said the Second National would
meet every Just demand and was in no.
wise crippled by the failure of the
Chestnut Street Bank. which held but
a small balance of its funds, the reserve
of the Elkton Bank being with the
Commercial and Farmers Bank, oi
Baltimore.
At noon the bank settled down to It's
normal condition again. The doors
were opened to the public some Tins
after Lanling hours.
Whether or not the large industries
of this county will suffer from the fail
ure of the Chestnut street Bank can
not at this time be stated. Mr.. Sin
! gerly's mills are the leading manufac
| turing plant in this part of the state
and employ hundreds of men. Theii
closing down, even temporarily, woulC
be keenly felt by the people of thi

BowLEY ACCUSED OF MURDER.

Cambridge, Md, Dec. 27.-State's At
torney Goldsborough received a tele-
gram from A. +. Parsons, Of Parson-
burg, Wicomieo county, stating that
he had William Bowley, the suspected
Lakesville murderer in charge. Mr..
Goldsborough Immediately telegraphed
Mr.. Parsons to hold the man, and to-
morrow morning Sheriff LeCompte and
M. e. S. Gore, the latter knowing Bow
ley we'll, will leave here to bring him
to Cambridge. His presence at Par
s0nburg is accounted for on the sup
position that the late severe weather
drove him from his canoe, and when
he took to the railroad cars he likely
got bewildered as to the direction he
was going. The states attorney, as well
as many prominent citizens, are of
opinion that should the prisoner prove
to be Bowley he should be tried by a
special term of court, which for many
reasons would be more satisfactory
than delay to the April term.
