Delaware enacted corporation law
last March, modelled upon that of New
Jersey, but making the prospect more in
viting to companies desiring to start with
little money and immense capitalization.
In the few months 200 corporations have
been chartered in the state with total
authorized capitalization of 1915, 900, 900.
The state has received in first fees over
$40, OOOi and should the companies be
capitalized at the figures allowed under
the law, the state will receive from those
already chartered over 100000 annually,
while by the end of the year it is expected
that enough more corporations will have
been made to put the states revenue near
the 100000 mark. The average annual
revenue of the state has been about $780,
600, so it is rapidly reaching point where
its income will be doubled, or more, and
candidates for the incoming Legislature
are already discussing the best means of
disposing of the surplus. Delaware is a
little state in bad way, and she does
not seem to be improving.

The New York Sun and General
Miles.

The New York Sun, temporarily
abandoning the Hodgson- Schley con-
troversy, in which we are free to con-
fess that it has made out strong case.
is now seeking to prove by publication
Of the confidential correspondence dur
ing the war between Secretary AIger
and General Miles -- correspondence
which could hardly have been given
out for publication by the latter-that
Miles is a spoiled child" kind of SOL
der who, instead of being retained in
nominal command of the American
army, should be soundly spanked, given
a nursing bottle and put to bed. The
Sun is a paper of exceptional ability
and it is putting its best energies forth
in this campaign against Miles; but it
does not seem TO realize that every
word ii says in the line of criticism OF
Miles is in fact "A censure upon Will
lam Mckinley for continuing an in
competent man in so high position.
Let us be explicit on this point The
Commanding general" of the army
should be the best soldier in the army
General Miles now holds that position,
having come into it through a career
of brilliant and varied service. While
under the law the president has not the
legal right-although he should have It
to dismiss the commanding general
at his own discretion. General Miles
has testified under oath that a request
from the president for his resignation
would be promptly followed by it's ten
der, regardless of his legal right to de-
mand a statement of reasons. So that
the retention of Miles by Mckinley
makes the equivalent of a presidential
Endorsement; and in this view OF the
matter it is unklnd in the Sun to call
Miles names.

DEWEY'S GREETING.
From the Washington Star.

from inc washington SlArs
When Admiral Dewey lands, what Is 10
be expressed to him as the country's sem
timents of appreciation? How, and by
when, and in what terms. shall he be
told of the honor in which he is held by
his countrymen?
Let us suppose man of the sentiments
OF Mr.. Hoar and Mr.. Atkinson selected
to be spokesman and improving the oc-
casion to speak for the anti-expansion-
lists. Admiral Dewey" he would say,
regarded in the light solely of a fight,
your performance at Manila was worry
clever. But how vulgar it is to fight!
How improper for a republic to fight!
Your going to Manila was most unfor-
tunato! But more unfortunate still was
your remaining after sinking the Spanish
fleet! If you had only sailed away at
once after doing that! Why in great
Ceasar's name, did you stay? We are
preparing as far as possible, to undo It
all. We shall ask the people next year
to recede from the position they have been
spurred by your action to take, and to let
the Philippine Islands slide. You must
not take account personally of our posi-
tion. We understand that you acted
only as a sailor under orders. We do
not hold you personally responsible for
the terrible plight into which your OFF,
cial achievements have plunged the
country"
Even the anti-expanslonists profess to
be proud of Admiral Dewey. And yet the
brief address outlined does no injustice
TO their real attitude toward him and his
superb services. Is he likely to be very
proud of them?

That Meeting in the Armory.

The invitation of the Building Trades
Council to the public to attend the
meeting to be held at the Armory
on Thursday evening under it's
auspices is one which should
be generally accepted. The public
is directly and very greatly inter-
ested in knowing all that it can
learn about a strike which has already
Inflicted upon it, in one way or another,
loss running away up into the hun
1reds of thousands of dollars. Much OF
his loss is irrecoverable. 1t is as
completely gone as if some one had
taken the amount of it in money and
thrown it into the ocean. 1t is loss
not confined to the men who are on
strike and their families or to the
builders and their families. 1t is a
loss which has affected allied trades
IF all kinds, depressed the value OF
real estate, inconvenience those wish
ing to build or make repairs, depleted
thC volume of exchanges in the gen.
eral stores and at a time of dawning
prosperity introduced a factor of dis
turbance which has in some way ex-
acted tribute from every inhabltant
If the Lackawanna valley.
If every man who has felt the heavy
nand of this untoward occurrence laid
pppressively upon his business hopes
or upon his pocket book should 80 on
Thursday evening to hear the reasons
If the stl .kers for striking, the Ar
Nory, vast as it is, would not hold
tenth part IF the outpour'ug nor
'ould any speaker master voice enough
% carry his words to the crowds outer
limits. Yet it is important that all
ShCuld go who can go. They should
~ not as partisans but az men in
search of information. In spite of the
publicity given to this strike through
he newspaper press, there exists a
General lack of comprehension cf its
.xact merits or dement's ar d an al
most equal lack of interest in its out
come, considered apart from the fact
hat everybody wants 1t to end in some
way as soon as possible. The COM
nunity which sustains the real bur-
len of the strike in other words does
rot appear to know why it is bearing
Iuch a burden and 1t is time it found
but.
The same advice would apply in case
he builders should decide to put their
hde of the case before the public foI
Judgment. The matter, however, is
rot one for heated oratory but fol
rool and concise presentation of facts

helped by the Republican prosperity
wich has come to the country. Men buy
more commodities because they get more
wages. They get more wages now than
they did at the latter part Of last year.
Some of them are likely to get still more
before next year ends. More than 100000
wage workers OF the United States have
had their income largely increased since
the days of 1896, when the Bryanite reign
OF industrial terror was under way Be-
tween S2,000,000 and S3,0O0,OOO more wages
Is disbursed to the workers Of the country
every day at present than was given at
the time that the reputation party was
making Its canvass three years ago. The
country hears nothing of the "crime of
lS1S' these days. 1t is the crime Of 1899

vast majority of American workers In all
the Industries and the general high tide
in the wave OF Republican prosperity

IKE WALToN's PRAYER.

l crave, dear Lord,
No boundless hoard
OF gold and gear;
Nor Jewels fine, nor kline,
Nor treasure heaps of anything
Let but little hut be mine
Where at the hearthstone l may hear
The cricket sing,
And have the shine
OF one glad womans eyes to make,
For my poor sake,
Our simple home a place divine
Just the wee cot-the cricket's chirr--
Love and the smiling face Of her.
i pray not for
Great riches, nor
For vast estates, and castle halls
Give me to hear the bare footballs
OF children DER
An oaken floor;
New-rinsed with sunshine or bespread
With but the tiny coverlet
And pillow for the baby's head;
And, pray Thou, may
The door stand open and the day
Send ever In a gentle breeze.
With fragrance from the locust trees,
And drowsy moan of doves, and blur
OF robin-chirps, and drone of bees,
With often-hushes OF the stir
OF intermingling sounds, and then
The good wife and the smile OF her
Filling the silences again.
The cricket's call,
And the wee cot.
Dear Lord Of all,
Deny me not!
/ pray not that
Men tremble at
My power Of place
And lordly sway
! only pray for simple grace
To look nv neighbor in the face
Full honestly from day TO day
Yield me his horny palm to hold,
And I'll not pray
| For gold;
The tanned face garlanded with mirth,
| II hath the kingliest smile on earth
| The swart brow, diamoned with sweat,
Hath never need of coronet.
And so i reach,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
And do beseech
Thou givest me
| The wee cot, and the cricket's chirr,
Love and the glad, sweet face OF her.
