The judges of the Court of General
Sessions deserve credit for their action
in imposing heavy penalty upon Cato
7. Pennington. the negro who was
convicted of attempting to commit a
felonious assault upon Katie Bangle
dorff, an estimable young white woman
at Newark. The evidence against the
negro was strong and the jury returned
q proper verdict.
The termination of this case and
carrying out of the sentence should
serve as lesson to evil-disposed men
in the future, whether they be black
or white. The courts Of Delaware de-
serve the commentator Of all good
citizens for their efforts to make the
highways safe for law-abiding people.
Probably when Pennington completes
his ten-year sentence he will realize
the importance OF obeying the law
and may be better citizen.

The Seaford News advances the
opinion that the Democratic defeat in
Delaware, on November Sth, was not
the fault Of the party managers, but
was due to combination Of circum.
stances beyond the control of any man
agement or leadership. All reform
measures and changes in the Election
law, it says, were charged to the Demo.
cratic party, ''snd made to do great
service with the floating voters. When
II could be used to advantage the Ad-
dicks henchmen claimed that the regis.
tration fee was a Democratic measure
and promised when they were in power
q law should be enacted repeating the
same. To the floaters they would
exhibit money and say we have the
money to pay you as in the past but
the Democrats have passed law pro-
hibiting US from giving you money
but you vote us into power and we will
repeal the law SO that hereafter you
may sell your vote as In the past. Both
these statements were successful and
many votes were cast for Addicksism
thereon. That those who used these
arguments Knew them to be false can't
be denied, and just how they will in
1900 explain the failure to perform their
promises we are unable to see.',

To listen to Rear Admiral Schley's
account of the battle Of July Sd, writes
New York correspondent, twas like
listening to history by great actor in
it. But the Admiral not only told
what he saw of the fight, but told his
story exceedingly well. He impressed
his hearers with his intellectual powers
General Woodford, in his short and un-
reported address, also gave bit of
history. He said that while at Madrid
he was under instructions to hold back
final decision of the mooted aues-
lions until April 18th, in order to give
the navy time for preparation. The
navy was ready at that time. On
April goth the Spanish Minister asked
for his passports; on April slst General
Woodford obtained his passports and
on April 22d the warship, loaded with
ammunition for Dewey's feet, arrived
at Hongkong. The next day Dewey
was instructed by cable to find and de-
stroy the enemy, and on April cath he
sailed on his voyage OF victory To
Manila. With such clockwork preci-
sion did the Navy Department do its
work in the war;" Would that as much
could be said for the operations of the
War Department.

rirht,nr the San Jose scale.

In Washington, ON Monday, NJ.
Thiebaut, Charge d'Atfaires Of France,
called at the State Department to adj
wise Secretary Hay that the French
government was about to adopt pre-
cautionary measures against the intro
duction from this country Of the San
Jose scale, tree pest with which
farmers OF the Delaware Peninsula are
painfully familiar. He said that de-
crees will BIO issued prohibiting the i'm
portation Of trees, shrubs and plants
from the United States, and requiring
an inspection of all fruits, fresh and
dried, at the point of landing in
France. These measures, NJ. Thiebaut
pointed out. were quito immaterial as
affecting the general trade from this
country TO France, as the shipments of
trees, plants and shrubs last year ag-
gregated only S3as, aud those of fruit
$40, 600.
The action of France was taken, 1t is
said, only after somo of the American
States had adopted precautionary laws
eft7uAh9s thio pSoti aHu diltT tllt IftlNil
scientists had advised that the intro
duction of the insect was likely to fol-
low from the unregulated import OF
fruits and all kinds of plants. Before
determining upon the DEGREES, the
French government secured copies of
the restrictions passed by American
States, and the French law is said to
be modelled on the more moderate of
these American laws.
M. Thiebaut called attention to the
agitation in the American press when
Germany and Holland adopted restrict
i've measures against the San Jose
scale, and expressed the earnest hope
that the present course of France would
not be the subject of such criticism
and Misrepresentation, as it touched
imports of comparative insignificance
and was designed strictly as q safe
guard against well established pest.
1t is hoped that France will be sue
cessful in keeping out the pest and may
also be able to give us some effective
points with respect to eradication.

A terrible feature of the fierce storm
which prevailed last Saturday and Sun
day was the destruction of the steamer
Portland, and the loss of probably one
hundred lives. which was told by an
Associated Press dispatch in yester-
days Every Evening. Of the New
England coast the storm seems to have
possessed the force of hurricane, and
in addition to the Portland tragedy,
the loss of scores of lives by the wreck
ing of sailing craft is reported. 1t was
a far more fatal and destructive storm
than it seemed during its prevalence.

In the view OF the New York Times,
"the announcement that we are to
maintain an open door is equivalent TO
an announcement that Congress will
govern the Philippines as it governs
the District of Columbia, except that
it will have a freer hand and will act
without clear constitutional guidance.
The status of the Philippines will be
that of dependent colony, governed
by laws made by Congress and executed
by officers appointed by the President,
with such aid as they may choose to
obtain or may be able to obtain from
native sources" But suppose the pco-
pie of the Philippines object to this
kind of government. What then?

In his very entertaining "Story of
the Revolution" Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts advocates the expan-
sion policy on the ground of the de-
STABILITY Of our nation becoming a
"world power" He also declares that
Washington, in warning the nation
against foreign entanglements, specified
only Europe, and infers from it that
Washington did not comprehend tho
rest of the Eastern continent in his adj
monition. In saying this, the Boston
Herald declares, Mr.. Lodge talks
more like special pleader in politics.
There is an absence of dignity in this
kind of arguing, and it is not probable
that Washington ever apprehended that
his words would be subjected to such
treatment.
