NEW SpAPER OPINION
The EIght m DeIaMare
n the LnnIsvllle conrler-Ionrnnl.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The facts Of the situation may be sum-
married. briefly; AddicSs by his notorious
methods Of seeking an Office in ths United
States Senate, has divided the Republi-
cans of Delaware into two factions, his
adherents calling themselves Union Re-
publlcans, and his opponents being known
as the Regular Republicans. The fight by
The Regulars has been one Of the most
creditablo chapters in American politics.
Thus far they have succeeded In prevent
ing AddiclSs from befoulng the fame of
the state and securing the onice of a
senator in Congress. They have had no
other object except TO defeat Addicks and
save their State and party the shame
which his success would reflect on them.
They are willing to unite upon any re-
spectacle Republican while the Addicks
followers insist that # must he Addlcks
or nobody-that he has spent his money
and bought the goods, and that he Is en-
titled to their delivery.

From the Public Ledger.
The first OF the series Of fish bills
introduced into the Legislature either by
or with the approval of the state Fish
Commission passed finally on Tuesday,
and it now only needs the signature of the
governor to become law The bill ap-
propriates $3.50 for the propagation Of
sturgeon I'm the Delaware river, provided
the State Of New Jersey appropriates n
similar sum. The work IS to be done under
the direction OF the Pennsylvania Com
mission, presumably at its station. near
Bristol. Another proviso in the act is that
the sturgeon fishermen must furnish free
Of cost all the ripe eggs and melt until
the close of the season. Authority is
given the commission to take sturgeon
after the close of the season and sell the
flesh and hard eggs, the proceeds to go
to future propagation work.
This act IS a very important one. For
the last six or eight years the sturgeon
fisheries in the Delaware river have been
steadily and rapidly declining. Last year
less fish were caught during the entire
season than were often caught in a single
day ten years ago. Seven-eighths of the
caviar, reported to be the best Russian
caviar. 1t is said, until a year or two ago
was made on the Delaware river There
are nearly I,0oO,0OO invested In the stur-
gcon industry on the Delaware river ana
unless artificial propagation o. success
fully undertaken, this large sum of money
will be lost within two or three years.
The action OF the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture Is, therefore, very important, and
there rs no reason TO doiihf thnt the gov
ernor win affiN his signature. The Leg
islature OF New Jersey enacted a similar
law before 81 adjourned. so that the action
of the LEGISLATURE of this State IS the
Anal and concurrent one.

ONE WEEK OF TRADE

r G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade to-day says:
Less sensational events transpired
in the cereal markets than in the pre-
ceding week, although quotations are
slow TO recede. Corn eased on a few
cents, but is still obout ten cents a
bushel, or nearly % per cent above
the quotation at the corresponding
date in the two preceding years. West
EN- operators continue to entertain
strong views. and appear little daunted
by the larger receipts attracted TO in
terror cities by the unusually profitable
prices offered. Foreign purchasers have
been driven out OF the domestic mar
keas by the high quotations, and ATTAIN
tic exports for the week have been

Here is the statement made by Will

mittee of Protest, to the Board CT
Trade on the evening Of May 8:
Under the existing conditions the
committee did not think 1t wise to
make any further protest against the
proposed removal of the Office. We
have no appropriation for Delaware
and no chance to get one any time soon.
What little Is left from the appropri-
alton of two years ago will have to bel
used very economically to carry out
the project now on hand.
Majcr Raymond, of PHILADELPHIA.
who, after the change takes place will
have charge Of this district the com
mittee thinks. Is friendly to Delaware.
Major Raymond has a great deal of in
huence in Washington, and IL is the
opinion that he will be able to do
more for Delaware than anyone else
we could hope to get. General Smiths
resignation will take effect ON July 1
and If fight was kept up for the
maintenance Of the office in all proba-
bility a lieutenant would be in chargel
OF the office. The committee thinksl
that with no appropriation and per-
son with no more influence than a lieu
tenant, the Office would not be much
benefit to Wilmington.
Following that statement the pro
test was abandoned and the committee
discharged, a most sensible course for
the Board Of Trade TO pursue.

Electric light, trolley. telegraph and
telephone companies enjoy exceptional
privileges in our streets and the least
they can do Is to take all possible pre-
cautions to guard the public against
their operation. Some Of their linemen
are careless in disposing Of wires along
the various thoroughfares, and several
serious accidents and attendant law
suits have resulted. The latest victim
is a small boy who grasped a live wire
twisted around a pole SO far down as
to be within his reach. We think that
AL such companies should give their
linemen strict charge that under no
circumstance must they leave wires in
such places, and punish violation Of

JOB. H JACKSON

The retirement from the active con-
trol and management of the Jackson
and Sharp Company of Job II. Jackson.
the man who has built the big estab-
lishment up to what it is to-day. is de-
serving Of more than the passing per-
sonal notice which the transfer of the
property has caused.
The upbuilding Of these extensive
shops has been the work CT almost a
lifetime. and the thirty-eight years
which Mr.. Jackson has given to the
enterprise have been filled with in-
tense application and devotion.
Through prosperity and depression
and panic Mr.. Jackson pushed ON in
the effort to win for his works, especial
ly in the car-buildlng trade. an inter
national reputation which should be-
second to none. He succeeded, and the
company is known well and favorablyI
for excellency of work and fairness of
dealing wherever steam and electric
railways are operated.
Mr.. jackson began life a POOR boy. By
his energy and intelligence he brought
millions of dollars to Wilmington from
other States and nations During the
last thirty-eight years he has paid out
to Wilmingtonians for wages alone
more than sl0,0OO,OOO. and there never
has been a week during that entire
period that he has not met his payroll
and sent his artisans home with their
money IN their pockets TO put it inI
general circulation by purchasing the
necessaries and luxuries OF life for
themselves, and those dependent upon
them. Such record, covering a
longer period than that Of the head Of
any other big industrial establishment
in the city. is something to be proud Of
and worthy of emulation.
The Jackson and sharp Company has
earned it's money in other places and
spent the bulk CT II here in Whining
ton. which has made its operations
doubly beneficial. It was founded by
Job II. Jackson and Jacob Il. sharp
in January, 1868. Seven years later
Mr.. Sharp withdrew and Mr.. Jackson
became president of the company
which took the place Of the co-parner-
ship. At the outset the shops had ca
pacity for only six cars. one hundred
men being employed. Since then the
plant has assumed such proportions
that from seventy-hve to one hundred
cars may be seen there I'm course Of con-
sIuciion, and the number Of hands en-
ployed exceeds one thousand, as a rule
The products of this model industrial
institution are shipped to all parts of
the world. giving perfect satisfaction
and bringing handsome returns.
Mr. Jackson is recognized as one of
the broadest and best business men in
the country. and the gigantic plant
which has just passed from him 20 the
American Car and Foundry Company
is the best possible proof Of his energy.
Intelligence and honesty He began
with nothing. and fashioned from it
one OF the biggest industrial establish
ments in the East By dint Of perse-
verance he compelled fortune to smile
upon him, and can look backward with
complacency and satisfaction.
