TuRN IN IHE IlDE

"Wilh wholesome promptness," "
Duns Review says to-day, "the country
is recovering from the embarrassment
of unnaturally high prices In some
lines the great manufacturing associa-
tlons have taken the lead; in others re
duction is still deferred, because the
entire producing capacity is engaged at
high prices for some months to come;
in others 1t comes in spite OF resistance
because buyers hold back orders for
their own protection until material
concessions are made. No disturbance
nor stringency of credits results nor
any sign of alarm, and the movement
is, perhaps, more healthy than it could
have been If entirely controlled by the
competition of many small concerns.
Production, stimulated by high prices,
rises above Consumption, retarded by
them. The weekly output of pig iron
May was 293, $50 tons, against 2S9 ASP
April l, while unsold stocks not held
by the great steel makers increased A
645 tons. This would indicate a daily
consumption OF 1854 tons against Al
GAP in January, hitherto the largest
but for the fact that considerable
stocks have also accumulated in the
hands OF consuming concerns, Of which
enough to use much more than 1 1000
tons daily are now idle"
The turn in the tide Of prices made
further progress in April. Bradstreet's
approximate number on May / being
only S9,947, a decrease Of 1.3 per cent.
from April, OF S.4 per cent from the
highest point reached on February l.
but a gain of 1873 per cent. over a year
ago and Of 2O.4 per cent. over May 1,
1898. The increases during April were
most notable in live stock, fruits, oils
and miscellaneous products, whereas
breadstuffs, provisions and groceries,
hides and leather. textiles. metals, coal
and coke, naval stores, building ma
terials and chemicals and rugs moved
lower. Compared with a year ago,
three-fourths of all products are high
er. The decrease in the index number
of iron and steel products was 1 per
cent. for the month, and the falling of
from the high water mark OF Decem-
Der / IS cnly 3.4 per cent, while COM
pared with a year ago, the level is 80
per cent higher.

PRIZES AWARDED
In LIBRARY CONTEST

Brandywine Library Association
closed its seven weeks contest last
evening and awarded as prizes a suit
OF clothes, a fine hat and an excellent
umbrella. The suit of clothes was
awarded to Jacob Dresh, of No. 2114
Market street; the hat to Joseph A.
Glen, No. 2205 IlaMOtte street. and the
umbrella was presented to. Thomas
Talley, small boy who assisted in
awarding the prizes.
The association cleared about Sl35
on the enterprise. and the money will
be used to fit up the ancient quarters of
the association in modern style.
The association is Quartered in the
historic building over the Brandywine
known as the Old Academy. The OBJ
Ject of the members Of the association
is to fit this building for use as a club
room and library for the young men
who reside in that vicinity and through
hard work and perseverance their en-
deavors are about to be crowned with
success. With what money they had
en- hand and the money received from
their last venture they will be enabled
to fit up a nice parlOr en- the lower
floor OF the building.
Frank Sweeney and August Wahl,
two enterprising members of the asso-
ciaticn, have built an excellent book
case in the proposed parlor, with shelf
room for about 1000 books. The library
has enough books to fill the shelves of
the case and are but waiting for an
other donation Of books before they
build another bookcase to receive
them.
Although the association is young,
having been organized last October, il
bids fair to be one OF the largest and
most beneficial institutions in Will
mington. The membership is com
posed principally of young working
men and is nOn-partisan. There is
some talk of building a gymnasium on
the lot In the rear of the main building
The present officers of the club are:
Prince A. Mousely, president; Ed
ward Greenfield. vice-president; John
Magee financial secretary; Frank
Sweeney, treasurer, and Charles Bul.

A DELICATE THRUST

These are trying days for the Della
ware Democracy, and especially for
those Democrats who would like to
vote the Democratic ticket without los,
ing their self-respect. The Delaware
Democrat is a respectable newspaper.
Its editor Is a respectable man. He is
not a Bryanite, a Debsite, a Free Sill
verite, a Populist or an anarchist. but
a Democrat Of the Bayard-Cray school.
In an editorial, which, by the way. the
Dover Delawarean seizes with the avid
ity Of Bryan organ which is starving
for a crumb OF comfort. the Delaware
Democrat says:
II the Democratic party would sue
ceed, and success is within its grasp.
IL is only necessary to show that Il de-
serves success, and the people will rally
TO its standard.
Now this is a dry crumb for any Bryan
ite newspaper to make a meal OF Of,
but the Dover Delawarean gluts itself
with it.
The Delaware Democrat does not say
that the Democratic party deserves
party success. Far from it. 1t hold:
that it is necessary for the party tC
show that il deserves success. The only
inference to be draw from that dec
laration is that up to this tim'
the Democratic party, as constituted a
present, must make a better showing
than it has done in the past to deserve
success.
The Delaware Democrat knows tha
the people Will not rally to the supper
OF political aggregation whicl
wantonly attacks the stability Of ON
currency, and amazes business men b.
advancing the impossible proposition
Of l6 to 1. 1t doubtless also is awar
that the Democratic attitude toward
the colonial policy Of President McKin

COL. BURTON
HAS ARRIVED
Delaware Man Had Ample
Evidence to Justify
Arrest Of Nicely

Colonel Burton. formerly of Della
ware. has arrived from Cuba, and his
complete report on his investigation of
the accounts of the Cuban posts is now
in the possession of the administration,
and it shows that, while he had ample
evidence to justify the arrest OF Treas
urer Neely, the amount Of money al
legged to have been embezzled is much
smaller than was at first supposed. 1t
can be said that Colonel BurtOns re-
port does not show a shortage of more
than 10000.
While no positive statement will be
made for publication regarding the sur
charged stamps to the amount of SAIL
600, which, it has been said Neely is
sued instead of destroying, as he had
been directed, the officials now have
what they believe to be absolute proof
that every one OF these stamps was
destroyed.
CONFERENCE WITH SECRETARY
ROOT
Colonel Burton went to the War De-
partment early in the day yesterday.
He had a long conference with Score
tary Root, and left with him all the
documents in his possession bearing
upon the Cuban postal frauds. Secre-
tary Root carried these papers to the
White House when he went to the
meeting Of the Cabinet.
Postmaster-General Smith said there
was no intention OF removing OF sus-
pending Director of Posts Rathbone.
The administration will not delay in
any way the preparations for bringing
Neely to a speedy trial and as soon as
the requisition papers are received
from Cuba they will be turned over 10
Attorney-General Griggs, who viii an
ply to Governor Roosevelt at once foi
the eXradition of Neely. These requi-
slticn papers are on their way to New
York.
