CONTEPORbRY OPINION
GENERAL GROSVENOR AND THE
DELAWARE.

DELAWARE.
General Charles H. GrOsvenor, who
was one Of the guests en- the recent
trial trip Of the Iowa, ana who is one
of the most influential men in the
House of Representatives. has learned
something from his trip. In an inter-
view he says:
1T is crying shame that this great
harbor tor the port of Philadelphia
has been neglected as it has been in
the past. and will use all my efforts
In behalf of securing a clear channel of
from thirty TO thirty-iive feet from
the Breakwater to the city of Philadel-
phia. AT portions of our trip up the
river the screws of the Iowa churned
up the mud at the bottom and we were
compelled to anchor for a number Of
hours waiting for high tide in order
hat we might proceed up the river.
There is no question that Philadelphia
Is entitled to a channel TO the sea suffi-
cient to allow vessels Of the heaviest
draft TO reach her wharves. and there
rs as little question that it is to the
interest Of the government that access
10 League Island Navy Yard should be
free TO the largest Of our men-of-war.
This is good news. IL shows thar
what we have so long contended for is
finally becoming apparent to the lead
ers Of legislation, and is the more
gratifying because General Grcsvenor
/ comes from an inland state and a town
where four feet OF water is sufficien,
for all purposes Of local navigation
The ride down the Delaware on great
Warship Is instructive to every states
man. II has evidently convinced Cen
| eral Grosvenor of the strategic value OF

GLARING INCONSISTENCY.

Representative Donaldson Is another
legislative patriot who is arrayed
against the entire people of New Cas-
tie county in the matter of the granting
of the amendments to the charter OF
the Wilmington aud New Castle Eec-
trio Railway Company which will en-
able Il to extend its lines northward
to Claymont and southwark to Smyrna
by way of Delaware City and Middle
town.
Mr.. Donaldson is evidently playing
fast and loose with the farmers of this
state. He turns one side of his face to
the farmers and the other side to the
railroad companies, and asks them
both to beam upon him. He is a legisla-
tive coquette, but the people are fully
alive to the Inconsistency of his con-
duct.
II we mistake not, it was Represen-
tative Donaldson who instituted the
movement which eliminated in the ap-
pointment of a legislative committee
TO Investigate the matter Of discrimina-
tions by transportation lines doing
business in this state. He has presided
at the meetings of this committee, aud
the many farmers and fruit-growers
who nave appeared before him came
10 the conclusion that they were deal
ing with a man who was treating them
fairly and who was their friend. But
his conduct in the committee and out
OF it proves conclusively that he is
either playing the farmers false or that
he is so situated that when it comes
10 action on the floor he cannot vote 20
give the farmers the benefit of honest
competition and reduced freight and
passenger rates.
The Inconsistency of Mr. Donaldson :
conduct has begun to excite much ad-
verse comment, and by the time the
session is over the farmers and fruit.
growers. who were stalking so much
upon his honesty OF purpose and zeal
Gus regard for their interests. will con.
clude that they were dealing with ;
man who was playing a double game
one side OF It for them and the othei
side for the railroads
If we can get competition we can ge
reasonable transportation rates. MI
Donaldson may delude himself into tn
belief that the farmers do not know
this. but they do. They know. prob
ably better than he does. that com
peting line down our state would d
more to reduce and equalize rates thar
two or three railroad commissions.
For the sake of consistency. Mr.. Don
aldson should lend his voice and vot
TO give them that competition or els
retire from the chairmanship of tn
legislative committee appointed to in
vestigate the wrongs which the farm
ers are suffering by reason of this lac
of competition.

Councilman Pagan, Of New Castle is
quoted as saying that incandescent
lights may be good enuogh for
Hoboken, Oshkosh or Kalamazoo
but they are not good enough
for New Castle. Perhaps Mr.
Pagan has never been in HobOl6en or
Oshkosh. We are inclined 60 believe so
IL he Is correctly quoted. We suggest
that he go to either place for a few
hints about street lighting. We are
sure that he will be able to get some
valuable information. Hoboken and
Oshkosh were never visited by William
Penn, nevertheless they are up-to-date
towns.

II there is one branch Of our state
which has been heartlessly
negloced and needs fostering AMI re-
habilitation, il is the National Guard.
There was time when it was so con-
Quoted that It was not a public credit,
but that time has passed long since,
and under the command OF Adjutant-
General Garrett j. Hart it has been re-
deemed, and once more commands the
public respect. 1t has done ample pen
ance for past offenses. and should be
reinstatod in legislative respect and
consideration. There has never been
any trouble in getting legislation for
the Guard. The difficulty has been to
induce the General Assembly to vote il
sufficient funds to properly conduct
that branch OF the service. For many
years it has been leading d hand-to-
mouth existence, which is neither credi-
table to it or to the state The small
amounts OF money which have been
doled out to it in the past should in
spire the members of the present AS
sembly to exercise their good Judgment
and liberality, and grant the appropri-
alton Of $4,000 prayed for.

the bin. lie believes In indiscriminate
slaughter at all times, no matter
whether the birds and animals are ut to
eat or moi, or whether they are in a
condition TO fly or run for safety.
But that is not the worst feature of
the hill. There are land owners who
will observe the laws as they exist to-
day whether the Wilson bill passes or
not. They have manhood enough in
them to restrain the natural desire to
take animal life for the mere pleasure
OF taking t. But his bill throws the
game open to the relatives of the own

his friends. We all know what that
means. In a year or two there will

TT IS A GOOD BILL.

Senator Pyle has introduced a bill
for the better protection of women en-
gagged in industrial pursuits. II is an
excellent measure, and. II passed, will
do much for the convenience, comfort
and health OF the hundreds Of women
In this state who are earning their liv-
ing in the factories, mills and stores.
OF course the employers will resist
it's passage for the reason that it will
entail upon them the expenditure OF
money to meet it's demands. but thepro-
prieties of civilized life must be OBJ
served. and one Of the first considera-
tions of an honest employer should be
the health of those whom he employs.
We suggest that Representatives
Dempsey and Donaldson toss pennies
to see which is to be the leader OF the
New Castle delegation. II is time that
one or the other was given precedence,
for this continual fighting for standing
in the delegation is becoming weari-
some to their constituents.
