NEWSPAPER OPINION
A Deeper Ship Channel Needed

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
II the Congressman of PENNSYLVANIA.
New Jersey and Delaware would unite
in an earnest effort they could certainly
get an adequate appropriation for the
deepening Of the ship channel Of the Del
aware TO 80 feet An appropriation Of
I,0O0,0OO was asked for, and the River
and HarbOr Committee has cut il TO
100000. The Congressman from the
states directly. interested in this port
should have the $4,000 600 cut from the ap-
preparation restored by the House.
While we are trying almost in vain to get
80 foot channel. New York Is about to
begin work on a 40 foot channel 1000 feet
wide from the Narrows to the open sea.
Other channels in New York harbor are
70 be made 40 feet deep. so that ultimate
ly there viii he a clear waterway of that
depth from the sea 70 Brooklyn and New
York. These improvements have been
authorized and will cost hte government
nearly SS,OO0 900, OF which more 81. COO. 900
IS now available. II would require Moth
ing more than nm analysis Of the trade re-
lations OF New York and Philadelphia.
and comparison OF the expenditures
made by the government at the two
ports, 70 convince dsintcrested congress-
men that Philadelphia is fairly entitled
to a 80 foot channel as an offset to New
York's magnificent channel 40 feet in
depth. New York has a great harhor
which ought to be given the finest en-
trance that can be made by liberal appro-
priations from Congress. There is no en-
vious opposition 10 the making Of 40
foot channel there. but the fact that Con
gress has dealt justly by New York
should be made the basis Of a demand
that the government shall deal justly
with Philadelphia.

EXPLANATION IN ORDER

Here is another editorial gem from
the Daily Republican:
II Is a pity that after the work done
lin compiling a new charter. nothing
has yet come out of it. Mr.. John S.
Rossell and VIM. p. Bancroft are busy
now compiling the new document that
wlll be sent to Dover for the Republi-
cans to pass. We do not want to dis
courage them, but we don't think any
thing will be done with II by the pres
ent Legislature. There is another char.
ter which was drawn up two years ago
that will stand a better chance Of pass.
ing IL one is passed It will require
the vote of 80 members of the Legisla.
ture to pass it. That means that 90 Re
publicans and 6 Democrats will have L
vote for the bill before it has any
chance of becoming law and thus
dash to the ground the ambition anC
hope of some half a dozen men VIII,
went TO be the next mayor Of WI
mington.
Now. il the Daily Republican will
print anotner editorial, explaining a
length wnat it means by this one tn
people may obtain some adequate con
ception OF the situation surroundin

ton working to depose him and have
the office turned over to Thomas L
Mason or William d. Venn. And why
Because Mr. Deakyne Is opposed to
Addcks. and Mason and Veun are the
most obedient servants OF the gasman
If we mistake not, Mason began life as

Mr.. DealSyne has been a Republican
since early manhood. In the grea
civil war he fought to preserve tn
Union. At that time Mr. Mason prob
ably was in the cradle and Mr.. Vena
somewhere in Europe. But the Ad
diclKsites are after the scalp Of Mr.
Deakyne, and thereby hangs a tale.
One day this Fall Mr., Deakyne en-.
tered his office and found a strange
therein. He wore good clothes and az

THAT may be. said Mr., Deakyne
but Addicks isn't elected United

guess if he ever is elected. But want
TO tell you one thing right here, Mr.
Smith.-Addicks hasn't money enough
at his command to buy me, and know
that he can't do it with a postoffice
And then the anable and diplomatic
and discounted representative Of the
National Committee left the postoffict
for fresher and more promising fields.
That is Mr. Deakynes offense. Mr..
Hoffecker is opposed to him, not be-
cause he is not a good postmaster, but
because he is not good Addicksite
It is an unworthy fight in an unworthy
cause, and one in which we hope TO
see the Addicksites defeated.
