BEST GOVERNED CITY.
Glasgow Has UnequaIed Success in
the Management of Municipal
Affairs.

The leading and most commendable
feature of the management of public
affairs is the principle of the sinking
fund, which is applied TO every enter
prise OF business In which the munich
pality is interested, says the American
Magazine of Civics. Whatever debts It
has are on the sure and safe road to
liquidation by the automatic operation
Of the sinking fund device. BY this
means the city of Glasgow will, inside
of so years, furnish free water to its
citizens; give them the best electric
lights free; electric or water power al
cost; allow them to ride on its electric
road at the nominal fare of two cents
for any distance and furnish to all free
use of magnificent public library.
The city affairs are managed by busi-
ness men with the same prudence with
which they would manage their OWL
affairs; the question of party politics
enter into no local election and 1t tseems
TO be the object of the municipality tc
administer the city's finances In al
economical way, to improve the public
health IN Its physical and moral basis
and TO give brightness and the posi-
bility of happiness to civil life. It's sue
cess In all these has been so marked al
to command the admiration of the civ
ilized world and TO gain for itself tn,
appellation Of the best governed city
on the face Of the globe.

In the Kronr Amy.

A countryman who expressed desire
TO enlist in Kansas City was directed by
a joker to a Salvation Army tent. The
Salvationists were singing song when
the farmer crowded up TO their little
circle. He waited patiently. Then one
of the men made an address appealing
for volunteers. The young farmer
pushed into the circle, and, taking of
his hat, stuck out his hand TO the uni
formed man who was talking. Il want
to enlist" said the farmer. Bang went
the big bass drum, and "Hallelujahl'
shouted a sweet-faced little woman
Another sinner savedl let us prayi'
exclaimed the soldier who held the
farmers hand, as he knelt down on tht
asphalt pavement reverently. The
farmer was thoroughly scared by this
turn of affairs. Instead of kneeling h'
looked about him. The prayer had al
ready started when he got his bearings
Seizing isvalise, which he had dropped
on the street when he took the proffere<
hand of the soldier, he broke through
the crowd, and amid the outlaws Of
crowd of newsboys he started north oi

HAPPENS ONLY IN NOVELS.
British Emigration Theoretic- q.
ally and ms IL Really Is.

England no doubt loves us dearly, but
tne English authors have not yet dis
covered that fact in its entirety, says
the Chicago Times-Herald. Clark Rus
sell, Max Pemberton and Anthony
Hope, to say nothing of Conan Doyle
and Rudyard Kipling, viii have it that
all Americans are Yankees, although
they would resent the charge that all
Englishmen are cockneys.
Another symptom of the drift is In
relation to emigration from Great Brit
ain. Statistics show that an enormous
number of people come to this country
from Great Britain, but the novelists
never heard of it. Micawber and his
interesting family went to Australia
and got rich. So did every other emf
grant that Dickens sent abroad, unless,
like Martin Chuzzlewit and Mark Tap
ley, they were sent to this country TO
point moral and adorn tale. All Eng
lish writers resemble Dickens in that
respect. In their stories the emigrants
all go to Australia, Canada, Africa
anywhere but the United States.
This trait comes under the head OF
"loyalty to the crown" They know per-
fectly we'll that the British emigrant,
unless assisted by a British society,
takes himself and belongings to this
country, and even if the society kindly
lands him In Canada he takes the first
chance of skipping over the border
The only time he goes to the colonies
with cheerful alacrity is in the pages Of
q British novel.

THE OLD SOLDIER MUSES..
He Hears for the First Time That
They Set n Plate for Him All the
Time He Was Gone.

81 heard only the other day." said the
old soldier, that at every meal time, all
the time was away in the army In the
civil war, a plate and knife and fork
were set for me at the table at home.
Many q time, If had only known H.
while was falling into line at the
cooks fire at the end Of the company
street, with my tin plate and tin cup In
my hand TO get the pork and hard
bread and coffee, or whatever we might
have to eat, better or worse, they were
setting a plate for me on the table at
home. They entertained me there in
spirit, if they could not in flesh, and how
glad they would have been to see me sit
down at the table.
Wherever we were, In camp or on the
march, and whether we had much OF
little, my plate was always laid for me
at home just the same. wonder II II
would have helped me If had known II;
II could have eaten in spirit as they
entertained me? And I can hear then
now. after all these years, when they
had something that particularly liked
saying:

PRoPEIR CoURIsE PuRsUEp.

The Department Of Elections has
quite properly refused to recognize the
Union Republican party as one Of the
two principal political parties In the
state. Its action in refusing to have
anything whatever to do with the list
OF names submitted by the Union RE
publican First District Committee for
registrars and assistant registrare is
commendable, and theproper coursewas
pursued when the list was returned to
Chairman Downey with letter OF ex-
PLANTATION which will he perfectly sat
isfactory to everyone but the AddIcks-
ties.
Some weeks ago we stated editorially
that It would he necessary under the
law for the department and Governor
Tunnel to ignore either the Addlcls-
ties or the Regulars, and our conten-
tlon has been borne out by the action
OF the department. Governor Tunnel
will also doubtless recognize the force
OF the argument that the Democratic
party is one OF the two. principal part
les Of the state, and that the Regular
Republican party has already received
official recognition which entities It &c
claim the other place. It is recognized
by the national organization; by tht
Mckinley administration and by The
state officials. The Union Republican
party has neither party nor officla
standing. II Is now, as 1t has ever
been. an outcast organization with but
a single issue-the election OF ]. I'D.
ward Addicks TO the United States Sen
ate and that issue is now dead
We congratulate the Department o.
Elections on its action In refusing K
seriously consider any claims to recog
milton made by Chairman Downey and
his committee.

QUESTIONING is NOT CONVERSE
TION.

The man who imagfnes that the art
Of conversation consists in asking
questions spoils conversation as much
as the man who never asks any. Peo-
pie OF this description will interrupt a
speaker as frequently as they do in the
French Chamber, and run anxiously
from subject to subject with their in
terrogatories like a cackling hen that
is going to lay an egg. Horace Wal
pole, when exiled at Houghton, be
means the existence Of such pest in
the person Of an aunt. Writing to his
friend Sir Horace Mann, he says: Il
have an aunt here, a family piece OF
goods, an Old remnant of inquisitive-
hospitality and economy. She wore
me so down by day and night, with in
terrogations that l dreamed all night
she was at my ear with: Who's, why's,
when's and what's, till at last in my
very sleep l cried out: For heaven
sake, madam, ask me no more ques-
tons.
DR.. Johnson's dislike Of being ques-
toned is well known, and he gives the
classic refutation Of the habit In his
own inimitable style: Sir, questioning
is not the mode OF conversation among
gentlemen. It is assuming a superior
ity, and It is particularly wrong u
question a man concerning himself. =

The third Of the Saturday series Of

inthian Yacht Club was sailed on Sat
urGay over the eighth-mile course Of
the club on the lower Delaware, start
ing and finishing at Essington, and re-
suited in a victory for the Spider,
handled by Parker r. Freeman. The
victory Of Mr.. Freeman is all the more
creditable when It is considered that
he was nearly four minutes behind
the other boats in starting. He
handled the tiller in a skillful manner,
edged in towards the Chester Island
shore on the down trip, avoiding the
strong food tide, and when once round
ing the island the piece Of strategy re-
sorted to gave him all the benefit OF the
/ clements on the return trip, and be
not only made up the four minutes
lost, but finished minutes and IS
seconds ahead Of the second boat
The tug Nellie, with the officials on
! board. followed the boats down tC
Chester Island, but did not dare &c
around. owing to the shOal water, SC
turned and came back in time for ths
finish. She reached the stake boat
only a few minutes before the Spider.
The start WAS made at p. m, ant

over the line last, dropped out Of thu

We present to our readers to-day a
complete list OF the registration officers
appointed by the Department Of E!ec-
tions for the city OF Wilmington. "A
careful scrutiny and analysis OF the
names will convince any fair-minded
men that the department was actuated
by an earnest desire to appoint men
who will honestly serve the people In
the offices to which they were appoint
ed. The position OF a registration offi-
Ger is an important and responsible one.
II he performs his duties properly he
conserves the elective rights Of his fell
low-citizens, seeing that every man
who is entitled TO vote is registered
and firmly opposing the registration Of
every man who has no right to figure
on the books or at the polls. Taken
as a whole, we believe that the men ap-
pointed will conduct the registration IN
most satisfactory manner.

When the Denton Union seriously
declares that the Republican party has
clear majority in Delaware It merely
displays its ignorance, as the election
returns for many years will clearly
demonstrate. Delaware Democrats are
always able to carry the state when
they are united on the candidates pro
posed and the issues involved. The
party is a unit to-day and will so re-
main. Republicans and Union Repub-
licans make a pretense OF harmonizinl
their differences, but events will prove
that they cannot do 50. It is impossi
BILE for them to prosecute a winning
fight.

A public school never loses anything
by the action Of women in taking part
in the school election. An Institution
which so closely Affects the home as
the public school should appeal most
strongly to womanloind to go to the
polls, elect good and capable persons
as commissioners and insist that, as a
reward for such support, none but good
and capable teachers be appointed. The
education OF child is most import
ant thing, and it should not be trihed
with, for either personal or political
reasons. Education elevates everything
which it touches and our country owes
much of it's present greatness to the
liberal national and state educationa
provisions.
