DIR WAFER FRONT.

Let us not forget that the future
greatness of Wilmington depends very
largely upon getting a deep-water
frontage on the Delaware river. The
shallow and tortuous Christiana is but
a poor apology for harbor. II has
served its purpose, but the wider field
OF Industrial effort demands wharfage
and shipbuilding plants on the banks
of the most majestic watercourse in the
East.
All we need is sufficient enterprise to
run streets to the Delaware river and
build proper wharves and warehouses
at the ends Of them. Business will come
where proper facilities for its transac-
ton are afforded.
Here we are between Boston, New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, with
two trunk lines Of railroads passing
through our city This should be a
great point OF transfer, and would be If
water transportation lines were accord
ed the same liberal treatment that the
steam railways enjoy.

Whenever a foolish or crazy man
finds a comfortable method Of self-de-
struction, there are other foolish OF
crazy men willing to profit by his ex-
perience. "A few days ago Lawyer
Monaghan committed suicide in Phila-
delphia by inhaling Illuminating gas
through a rubber tube. On Saturday
night two young men were found dead
side by side in a room in New York
and they had used the same device as
Lawyer Monaghan. This tubular sui
cidal device promises to become a fad
among the weak of mind and despon-
dent of heart.

Hungry Republicans of Delaware re-
sent the action of the new collector Oh
internal revenue for this district CIV
ing to Marylanders the subordinate
places in this state. This is not sur
prlslng. There are from fifty to one
hundred hungry Republicans here for
every desirable office which the Nc
Kinley administration can bestow, and
when Marylanders come in and ask Tor
a share Of that Federal patronage
which has always been enjoyed by
Delawareans, it is sufficient to create
something more than a tempest in a
teapot. In the matter of hunting Tor
spoils the Maryland Republicans are
Just like their Delaware brethren, only

GENERAL WAGNER HoNORED.

The banquet given in honor of Gen
eral Louis Wagner, who is the father
of Mrs. Peter l.. Cooper of this city, by
members of the Alumni of Girard Col
lege and subscribers to the Glrard
monument fund, at Dooner's Hotel, in
Philadelphia, last evening, brought to-
gether a number OF representative citi-
zens. Thomas p Lonsdale, the presi-
dent of the Alumni Association, pre-
sided as the chairman of the banquet
The interesting event of the occasion
was the presentation to General Wag-
ner of a handsome case of solid silver
knives, forks and spoons by eX-Judge
f. Carroll Brewster in the name of the
members of the Alumni, both present
and absent. The testimonial was ex-
pressive of the appreciation of his SER
vices in bringing the Girard monument
movement to the successful conclusion
that it attained.

The boom of wheat has induced the
farmers in the lower part of our state
to largely increase the acreage. Phos-
phate dealers in Kent and Sussex coun-
ties are unable to meet the demand for
fertilizers and the dealers inagriculturai
implements in some of the down-state
towns say that they cannot begin to NIL
the orders for drills. This is encourag-
ing news, but we venture the prediction
that, il the wheat crop in the old world
pans out well next year, there will be
host OF American farmers sorry that
they did not put in some other ano
more lucrative crop.

RECENT LITERATURE.

In McClure's Magazine for October is
published for the first time the long
hidden and supposed lost life masks
OF John Adams, Jefferson, Madison,
Lafayette and Charles Carroll, taken
about 1926 by the sculptor Browere, by
a refined process that he himself de-
yised and of which he never told the
secret. The story of the making OF
these remarkably truthful masks, and
OF their subsequent hiding away, is a
most romantic one, and will be told in
the same number by Charles Henry
Hart, the highest authority on such
subjects.

said to be engaged in a bitter contro-

For some days it has been rumored
that Congressman Handy aspired to go
to the United States Senate to succeed
Senator George Gray. This rumor Is
denied by his most intimate friends,
who declare that he merely wants a
second term in the House of Represen-
tatives. AS 1t has always been custo-
mary for the Democratic party to give
its congressman a second term, he
doubtless feels that there is no dispo-
ition to make an exception in his case.

The editor of the American Monthly
Review of Reviews makes some peril
nent comments on the recent shooting
of striking miners by deputy sheriffs at
Lattimer, Pa. He shows that the local
prejudice against these foreign-born Ia
.borers was intense that many Ameri-
cans who had worked in the mines be-
fore the foreigners came had drifted
into other occupations in the Pennsyl-
vania towns and villages of the coal
regions. and that the mine owners had
brought in more laborers than were
needed, which helps to keep wages close
to the starvation point. These condi-
tions go far to account for some of the
deplorable doings at Lattimer.

The October number of the Forum
may we'll be described as an interna-
tional one OF it's twelve interesting
articles, no fewer than Eng
land Turkey, and India" 1.-THE I'M
pending Deficiency of Bread-stuffs, -
international Bimetallism" Cboth for

ism," Universities and the Higher
Education of Women" and Naval
Warfare: Present and Future"-con-
Germ the other great nations OF the
earth besides ourselves; while "Our
Need of Merchant Vessels" and "The
Protective Features of Section %" treat
OF subjects OF immense import
ance to the United States.
Though not the leading article
in the table of contents, c. Wood
Davis paper on THE Impending
Deficiency of Breadstuffs" readily
claims the first attention of the reader
by reason of its universal interest. Mr..
Davis has devoted many years to the
investigation Of his subject, and he as
serts that, relatively to the consuming
population, the acreage under the
bread-making grains-wheat,ry buck
wheat, etc, is now two million acres
less than fifteen years ago. With regard
to the harvest of the present year, Mr.
Davis estimates the deficit at no less
than 400 600, 600 bushels of wheat alone
In the rye harvest the deficiency is rel
atively as great. Europe's potato crol
is largely defective; and spelt, maslin
and buckwheat fall 30,000,000 bushels
short Altogether, Mr. Davis paper Il
worthy the very careful attention o
statesmen and economists, who will
find matter for serious consideration il
the facts set forth.
