our High School. What requirements
snoula be fixed for entrance TO this
school could be easily determined by
our educators. No boy can learn about
hand warll as he ought to learn in the
short time allotted to him in the High
school. The teachers do wonders with
them, but pupils must have more than
instructors; they must have time to
work. Al school should be arranged for
and fitted up properly and pupils should
be placed there for at least one term OF
Sve months. Then something could be
done by the teachers and the boys could
develop their skill and tasts in the yari
Gus courses that ought to be arranged
for them.
Our boys should have chance; an'
those who need these chances most ar
those whose parents are unable to hav
: them entered into our great industrial
establishments because Of lack of II
fiuence or acquaintance. At any rate
give us manual training school-no
mn attempt at one--a school suited !
orr great needs as a manufacturln
city.

THE SAUNTERER
Senator Got the Watch.

State Senator ]. Frank Alice Of Dover,
ia business man. little STORY related
to the Saunterer at Dover yesterday rela-
tive to the Senator's keen perception OF
human nature in dealing with customers
is worth repeating. When DR.. Howard
NJ. Wilkinson the Dover eloper left this
State on that now famous trip he carried
with him handsome gold watch which
he had procured at Senator Allee's
iewelry store upon the promise to pay at
an early date. AS the elopmenJ case de-
veloped it became matter OF common
comment that Wilkinson had deliber-
ately etolen the watch. The day Of the
sale OF Wilknson's property the notoriou;
druggist entered Allee's jewelry store
and approached the Senator with the
remark: Il hear that you say | have
stolen that watch "
"Oh, mol" replied the Senator pleas
antly, "You are mistaken. But, by tht
way, if YOU have the watch with you
would like it returned"
"Why, expect to pay yon for It,
from Wilkinson.
"Wel, | would rather have the watct
than the money" said Senator Alice
and Wilkinson handed it over.
Senator Alice declares himself a luck
man and his friends say he is always
winner in the long run.

OUR BOYS.

What is to be done with our boys!
This is no idle question. It comes home
to every household and demands of our
authorities and people generally, careful
consideration.
1t is becoming more difficult every
day for Il hoy to have an opportunity
to learn trade. There must lie only
one apprentice to a given number Of
iourneymen. This leaves a large num-
her of boys who are left without a
chance to learn trade. Many are
forced to remain at school-which
is not bad-and others are forced
to take up occupations unsuited to their
lasts or abilities-and many are forced
to idleness.
Not unfrequently foreigners having
trades come here and thus force the
American boy to the wall.
A partial solution of this problem will
be found in Manual Training schools.
Wilmington has not given the subject
the proper treatment. We should have
a trade school entirely Independent Of

CONSISTENCY.

The Democratic party is now howing
about and against expansion.
If history be read to any purpose we
will find that all the expansion of our
territory has been made during Demo-
cratic administrations excepting Alaska.
In order therefore TO apologize for this
position they make ont that the con
tiguity of territory was Il sufficient iltsti-
fcatiou Every one knows that we are
now practically nearer to Hawaii and
The Philippines thAn WAS New Orleans
when Louisiana was purchased by the
Tnitpa States.
The wonderful growth of our varied
manufacturing industries compel us e
seek new outlets lor our products. This
is true of every civilized nation on the
glohe asl Il is becoming more AM
more necessary for the government tc
protect not anly oW working population
but thg manufactures as well

only necessary to devclope this elemen
tary principle Of government for us 7
find that market which is now lacking.
The old Democratic doctrine Of cheap
ness means now as it always has don
cheap labor; it cannot get away from tn
primary notion of human slavery whic
is still dear to their economic hearts.
The acquisition Of new territory ha
been forced upon this government; thi
territory has been acquired by treat
and sanctioned by the treaty maxim
power We, as d nation stand in hone
bound TO live up to every obligatio
assumed and obligated by the treat.
The good sense and honor Of the Amer
can people will not let our obligation
be broken; nor will they quietly subm
