edged the receipt of the note from the
cabinet
\ The porte is inclined to support the
powers, with a view to the facilitation
Of negotiations, but it declines to con-
sent to an armistice, on the ground
that this would enable Greece to reor-
Eganize her forces.
N As matter of fact Turkey contin-
ines to send troops from Salonica home
ward, and it is probable that Osman
Pasha has returned to Constantinople
(4rom Salonica. In view of both facts
Il may be assumed that nothing seri-
tpus is expected, but the continuance

very best means of fastening the ef-
FORTS of diplomacy.

A Washington special reports that
about $40. 900 year has been saved to
ihs government through reduction in
the force of immigrant inspectors, and
Gen. Spaulding, the Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury, responsible for
this change, saye that 1t has been
brought about without any impairment
of tho efficisncy of the force. Civil
Service reform has made this reduction
possible. AS 9oun as the inspectors
ceased 10 be selected by the politicians
and appointed as reward for partisan
activity, it was discovered that many
of them had little or nothing to Ito and
could very well bs dispensed With. The
result, therefore, was economy. and
also increased efficiency, as those re.
tanned do better work under the new
system. This condition of affairs may
not please tho politicians. hut it will
prove agreeable to the people.

The Directors OF the Street and Sewer
Department Tuesday considered the
application of tho Brandywine Springs
Railway Company for permission TO use
certain streets OF this city for the
tracks of its proposed limo, and made
formal renly, which is printed in full
on another page of this issue.
Tho statement OF the directors will BIO
generally accepted as fair and proper.
They plainly atate to the railway pao-
pie their feeling that when any pri.
vatc corporation asks for franchises
covering the use OF the public property,
that the matter should BIO carefully
considered with view only as 10 how
1t will affect the city's interests; and
before such franchises are granted we
should he well satisiled thut the benefit
to the public justifies giving tho priv.
leges asked. y This is sound doctrine
Tor surely the public interests are of
paramount Importance, and should
always BIO first considered before con-
illusions are reached.
The decision OF the directors not to
award any street franchise to be used
as a club by the possessors to compel
favors oI another company 10 also right
and proper. Franchises should be re.
CARRIED as business concessions, and not
TO be held for speculative purposes. 1t
is therefore periinently pointed out by
the Street and Sewer Directors that the
Brandywine Springs Railway Company
is required BY its charter tn first con-
| struot its line from Brandywine Springs
to the city limits before the question
OF granting it franchises for using
| streets in this city can be- considered.
These points are of the utmost i'm.
portanca, in view of the fact that thu
Wilmington City Railway Company, by
the plain provisions of Its charter, is
given the exclusive right to construct.
maintain and operate street railway
within tho limits Of this city. 1t is
not desirable that the city be forced
into court for an apparent invasion of
this privilege by granting franchise
to another corporation. Let the costly
litigation that may threaten be the
province of the contending railway cor
porations. The interests of the people
are Of more Importance than those vi
tine railway companies.
