MODEL CITIZEN SOLDIERS.

Once more public attention has been
directed to the remarkable efficiency Of
the Pennsylvania National Guard. The
rapidity with which the Third Brigade
of that admirable organization was
modified and transported with all its
impedimenta, including artillery and
cavalry horses, to the scene of disturb
ance at Hazleton, could probably not
have been equaled in any other state in
the Union. 1t is doubtful If regular
troops could have acted with more
promptitude. Pennsylvania newspapers
have good reason for expressions OF
pride in the military organization OF
that commonwealth. The only serious
criticisms which have ever been aimed
at the Pennsylvania National Guard
have been caused by its lack of showi-
ness and glitter on parade.
New Workers are familiar with The
aspect OF the stalwart guardsmen Of the
Keystone State. They have marched
through our streets many times. T,
the multitude their appearance is mucl
| less attractive than that OF organiza
tions whose uniform is varied in colo
and shines with gold lace. But ther'
is an unmistakable air of busines
about them. Their plain clothes, com
/ plete equipment and general carriag
mark them out as men who are fit 70
field work at any time. All veteral
soldiers appreciate these qualities a
their full worth. We are proud of ou
own National Guard. There are som
regiments in it. the Seventh for ex

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
AN HONORABLE ESTATE.

There is an honorable distinction in
the fact that the estate of The late Wal
ter Q. Gresham, now finally settled and
closed, amounted to but the small total
OF $1S,6O2.
This distinguished American be
longed to that older and better type OF
Americans in public life who priced the
dignity and honor of faithful public SER
vice above the opportunities foo du-
bious methods of money making at
taching thereto during the past twenty
years or more. To serve the people of
this country he gave up a career in the
law which, il followed, would have
made him a wealthy man. He was for
many years a distinguished figure in
the political history of the United
States, member of two presidential
Cabinets and more than once a promi-
nent candidate for the presidential
nomination before successive Republi-
can conventions. His ability and his
fidelity to the peoples interest were
never doubted.
The amount OF his estate represents
savings THAT are surpassed in aggre-
gate by those of many frugal and in
dustrious clerks in this country. And
|
| frugal and industrious had been able tC
accumulate in a life of notable public
service. A high-minded patriotism
which led him in his latter years to ris'
above party in his devotion to the pub
lie good also caused him to lose party
influence through the hostility of par
tisans who could see nothing in his fine
self-abnegation but the act of rene
| gade. He died poor, and, to certain
extent, discredited.
And yet Gresham's life was anything
but a failure. He left behind him 4;
good name, a long record OF meritori
Gus achievement, an example OF fear
! lessness in leaving a party which ha'
Il already abandoned the people, and al
illustration OF Americanism in the bes
sense of that good word which ar
ample justification for the pride of al
who were his friends during his life
time. 1t takes true and brave man T.

HEMEoN- SHETLAND.

SECTION NO. %.

It is not likely that Attorney General
McKenna's Interpretation of Section
No. % OF the Dingley tariff act would
be sustained bytheSupremeC Court II the
Treasury Department should see fit to
carry the matter to that extreme. But
Mr.. Gage will not do so. The legal
opinion handed down by Mr.. McKenna
was unquestionably sought by the sec
retary for a well-conceived party pur-
pose. It does not nullify the law, but
will most likely be observed until Con-
gress reconvenes, as it relieves MIR.
Gage from immediate enforcement in
quarters where such enforcement would
provoke the bitterest opposition. It is,
in fact, one more example OF an old Re
publican party trick.
In Mr.. McKenna's requested profes-
sional opinion, Section No. %, which
provides for a discrimination against
the contiguous country importing
goods from another into this, although
1t unquestionably places an additional
ten per cent. duty in such cases, there
was no such intention ON the part oi
Congress. He found a loophole in the
wording of the section which made II
easy for him to so construe It; a loop
hole which in all probability was pur.
posely and ingeniously concocted that al
the proper time he might discover 1t
The whole scheme appears to have beer
premeditated in the manner that Mr.
Bryan has 30 often attacked Republi
can party methods
The man who got the section inserte,
in the bill evidently Slipped 1t in" a
Gar Reed would say, or had 1t pu
there by "chicanery," as Senator
Chandler would express it, unknown I,
his colleagues. It's author happens I,
be Senator Elkins, who says he had

IN League" whatever that means. Tn

people and do good turn for the dc

NEGROES PLAY "cRAPs."
The Game Is Very Popular In
Savannah, Georgia.

The Game Is Very Popular in
savannah, Georgia.
If there is one game to which the Sa-
vannah negro is devoted above all
others it is craps. City or country, it
is all alike. On Sunday the country ne
groes gather in little groups in the
shade of the trees, out of sight of the
big house." and play all day long, or
until the wages which they received on
Saturday night are gone. In the cities
they gather on the wharves, in the cor
ners of warehouses, or any favorable
spot out of sight of the cop" and play
for any amount they may possess, from
coppers to dollars.
The Savannah bootblacks and news
boys, like those of any other city, gaB-
BILE away their earnings, and many a
game is carried on in the lanes, the
players often becoming so interested
that they lose all thought of the police
man until that worthy appears in their
midst and nabs a couple of the play
ers. White boys play the game, too
but negroes of all ages and sizes shoot
craps. There is only one other game
which equals craps in fascination foT
them, and that is policy, and, as policE
is more liable to be interfered with by
the police, craps has all the advantage
There are fascinations about the game
peculiarly African. 1t is not without
its intricacies; the ordinary "com'
seven, come eleven" plan of the game /:
simple enough, but there is n crow(
around the players, and there may be {
half dozen interested in the game anC
q dozen side bets. How they nanag'
to keep the run of the game is mys
terry to the ordinary observer, but the.
do so with unerring accuracy. Fight
over crap games are rare.
The expressions common to the gam
are amusing. New dress for de baby,

his new duties would make
it incumbent upon him to resign. The
matter was compromised by DR.. Roads

BY compelling the Wilmington and
Brandywine Springs Railway Company
to build its tracks from Brandywine
Springs to this city and to make every
honest endeavor to enter into a traffic
agreement with the Wilmington City
Railway Company, the Board OF Direc-
tors OF the Street and Sewer Depart
ment has wisely solved a simple but
most vexatious problem. The people OF
Wilmington want an evidence OF good
faith on the part OF the promoters OF
this new road. IL can best be obtained
by the work of construction commenc-
ing at Brandywine Springs and ending
at the city line. When this has been
done the new company will be in q
much better position to make demands
and the guardians OF our streets can de.
termine just how the cars shall come
into our city to best serve the publ,
needs. If a reasonable traffic arrange
ment can be made with the new com
pany It would be folly to give up an
other street to the electric cars.
