WHAT DOES MIR. SHORT FEAR?


II the statements of our Dover cor
respondent are correct, Representative
Short has introduced a bill in relation
to libelous publications. It was stated
in our Dover letter yesterday that his
bin provides that newspaper shall
not publish any article rejecting upon
the character Of any person until it has
positive proof that he is guilty of the
allegations made.
It would be interesting to know what
Mr.. Short has been doing that he should
deem il necessary to take such extra
ordinary precautions for his own per-
sonal comfort and preservation. There
are many things which might be said
about him which would not be con-
sidered by him or his friends to be par
ticularly complimentary in their char
acter, but the newspapers of the state
have no desire to make such utter
ances. In fact, they have, both in an
editorial and news sense, been exceed
ingly charitable to him. He owes them
many favors which he can never re-
pay. But for them the people of the
state would never have known thai
such a man as Mr.. Short had being. In
deed, until the last election, but few
persons, outside of his own immediate
neighborhood, dreamed that there wal
such a man in existence. This beinl
true. we fail to see what grudge he car
entertain against the newspapers of th'
state, which have treated him will
much more courtesy than he really de
served.
II Mr.. Short will reflect for a littl
while he will not attempt to array him
self in antagopism to the press of hi
state. He will seek its friendshi
rather than its ill-will. If he does no'
it will be he, and not the press, VIII
will suffer
No honest man fears the power @
influence of the press Tor the reaso
that the press is the honest man
friend, and its structures never fall upo
him. 1t is only the rogue and the ra'
cal, in public and private life, who feai
its far-reaching facilities for obtainin
information, and its fearlessness Of u
terance, who endeavors to place a mui
zle on the press. But rogues and ra

FOR RAPID TRANSIT.

Those New Castle county members
who are sitting in the Hall OF Repre-
sentatives and defying the people Of
their county in the matter Of rapid
transit legislation, might just as well
make the most OF their short lease of
public life, for as surely as the sun
rises and sets, II they persist in their
reprehensible and ruinous course, they
will never again have an opportunity
to represent those who are now their
constituents In any public office.
They are outraging decency, betray-
ing their trust and besmirching them
selves with all kinds of foul suspicious.
They have time to redeem themselves
II they have sense enough to do so, but
the end of the session is near, and they
must act quickly and gracefully if they
desire to preserve an honorable place
in this section OF the state, which so
badly needs all the trolley roads 1t can
get. 1t is time that they realized that
the man who deliberately places him
self In the way of enterprise, progress
and prosperity comes as near commit
ting suicide in a political sense as the
man who throws himself in front OF a
locomotive does in a physical sense.
1t is the desire of rural New Castle
county to be placed in quick and con-
slant communication with the city OF
wilmington. It is one Of the necessi-
ties OF the times. Farmers are fully
alive to the advantages Of cheaI
freight and passenger rates, and th'
man in public life who deliberately de
nies them to his constituents nigh
Just as we'll retire to the shades OF pri
vate life, for the farmer, above al
others, knows how to resent such n be
trayal of trust.
1t is a shameful fact that every New
Castle member of the House who IL
working against the interests of th'
rural sections OF the state is from
rural district. How they will feel whei
they go home, and are called to accoun
for their sins of commission and omis
sion we leave them to determine.

the opinion that if Grant were alive, he
would return the courtesy by sending

Thomas Ewing Moore is the United
States commercial agent at Weimar,
Germany. In recent report upon the
condition Of trade in the Old World, he
says that locomotion by means of cleo
tricity is gradually gaining ground in
Europe, though not to the same extent
as in the United States. 1t is quite
evident that Mr. Moore has not read
the latest news from Dover, where a
mere handful of men are depriving the
citizens of New Castle county of the
benefits Of electrical transportation
lines. in spite of the remonstrances of
the people against their action. 1t Is
about time for the New Castle mem
bers who are playing into the hands
of the lobby to come out and make a
full breast of the matter and ask for
giveness after promising to serve their
constituents better in the future.
