Securing New Industries.

Our citizens should make a deter
mined effort to induce Mr.. Morse
and his coadjutors to select site
near our city, for the location of his
shipbuIlding plant. A company
possessed of a capital of several
million dollars and likely to employ,
some 2Oo0 men would prove a great
advantage if located in our State.
If land could be procured and some
inducements held out TO influence
the parties interested to locate on
the Delaware, every property hold
er and merchant in our city would
be benefited. Our Legislature was
so busily engaged at the last ses-
sion in looking up industries to tax,
that they had no time to look after
new enterprises or adopt any meas.
nres to develop the resources of our
State. The residents of other cit
les are putting forth efforts to in.
duce manufacturers to locate among
them, and our citizens should be
active or we will find in the
end that we are behind the age.J
Let all be up aud doing and get rid
of the habit Of being penny wise
and pound foolish.

perished In the flames and to recover any

searchers were futile, however. as the
ruins were too hot to permit much pro-

burning material was rendered more
dense by the dampness Of the atmOs-

Don't 60 Too FIR.

No one. we believe. will question m,
conclusion that the three Democrats VIII,
voted for Mr.. Addicks at Dover on Mon.
day last. under circumstances that made
their action questionable on mora
grounds, are deserving of severe censnre
They were guilty of conduct that cannot
he excused on amy pretcyt whatsoever.
and the manner in which the betrayal of
their party was carried into effect makes
it impossible to doubt that they were
prompted by corrupt motives.
But conccding all that may be Justly
said in the way of severe condemnation
of their crime. is it not possible, even in
this case, to 60 too far? Is there not
danger that the rightful prosecution Of
these men at the bar of public opinion
may degenerate into unjust persecution?
We have no word of excuse or palliation
for their ofcnsr, but nevertheless they
are human beings, and while the case,
| against them. looks very black, and is
absolutely unrclievcd by any mitigating
circumstance. yet may it not be possible,
as one of them says, that their offending
is of the head and not of the heart! May it
not be possible that they are guilty of
treachcry Only-not OF bartcred treacl-
cry. But even cOnceding that the very
worst is true Of them-that they are paid
traitors--st still are they not entitled to that
pity for their plight which is rarely il
ever refused even to the vilest of con-
victcd murdercrs? One of the greatest |
poets of this century. addressing Il social
and moral outcast. in the rulness Of his
great heart, wrote:
Not till the sun excludes you
Do exclude you.
And another eminent man said: "thls
is the finest line that was ever written in
any language The sun still shines upon
FarlOw. King and Clark. BY the Infinite
mercy of their Creator they are permitted
still to breathe the pure air of Heaven.
Until they are duly convicted of the crime
of which they stand so reasonably sus-
pccted let us try to exercise just little
of that mercy so finely expressed by the
poet, and il after all we shall find it i'm.
possible to lay bare their guilt, but guilty
still believe them, then let them pass
peacefully into TINT social, moral and DO
lilical oblivion to which their own acts
have justly consigned them, and which
will bring punishment far more severe
md more sautary than the torrent of
violent and vocifcrous beratings of the
'ast week could possibly infict upon
hem. And let Us remember too, that ,
however black their crime may be, the
'coplc of Delaware. and especially the
newspapers. as we have pointed out else

offending. through the laxity with which
