Law Methods Charged.

In a report submitted to Judge
William c. Spruance last week,
Charles c. Kurtz and L. Scott
Townsend, auditors, say that the
books of the New Castle county
officials are carelessly and loosely
kept, and that if the same care
were taken in county affairs as in
private affairs the expenditure of
county would be materially re-
duCed. The auditors say that no
interest has been paid on the issue
of $4,000 worth of bonds made in
1899 because the holders of the
bonds have made no demand for
interest and it is not known to
whom the bonds have been sold.
During 1900 there was an increase
in the expenditure of $4,000. "a.
At the cost of the fiscal year on
June 80 last a balance of 81, II2. 10
was reported, but the county at
that time, it is alleged, was libal
for claims that had been held back
amounting to $82,o67.14. The
auditors point out that the County
Comptroller has no check upon
certain expenditures and it was
urged that he be given more power.

THE people of Cedar Neck and
Milford, owe it as a duty to them
selves to see that the Levy Court
of Sussex county shall make an ap-
preparation of $4,000 to assist in
building a stone road from Milford
east one mile towards Cedar Beach.
That part of Sussex pays a large
part of the county road and poor
taxes, and its condition is a dis
grace as well as a source of annoy
ance to the people who travel over
the road. At the next session of
the court a delegation-composed
of property holders and all inter
ested, should go to Georgetown and
urge that immediate action be taken.
When the road is graded, flat boats,
or barge loads of broken stone can he
unloaded within one hundred yards
of the road, and this material for
doing the work can be had at a
low cost. A light coat of gravel
not clay-should cover the stone,
and then the work is done for ten
or more years to come. This is a
case where doing public work in a
permanent way will be true econ
omy-as we'll as an object lesson to
others. Remember that every man
is interested in this matter, and
don't fail to go to Georgetown and
urge that it be done.

offices and watched the bulletin
boards eagerly until past mid
night Friday night, for news Of
the Presidents condition.
A curious item appears in the
news which the War Department
is giving out. The Act of Con-
gress which increased the army to
100000 men caused promotions all
along the line; and eventually
there were about 600 vacancies in
the position of second lieutenant
to be filled by the President. The
law is that these places shall be
filled by giving commission to
enlisted men who pass the exami-
nation and by the appointment of
men within certain age limits who
have served i'll the volunteer army.
The famine alluded to is not due
to a lack of applicants. Secretary
Root had nearly II, 900 application
to sort over and weed out, and
probably every one of the appli-
cants thought he could perform the
dnties of the position to perfection.
The enlisted men had the first
chance. About 400 took the ex-
animation, and of these nearly 200
passed and received their commits
sions. Then many of the former
volunteer officers and men were
disposed of, by being designated
for appointment. It is not known
how many of them have been
through this experience, but the
total runs into the thousands.
The trouble seems to be that they
cannot pass the examinations
Some of them are complaining
that these are unduly severe, but
the department says that men APP
pointed in this way enter the ser
vice on a supposed equality with
West Point graduates and ought
to know, if not as much, at least
somewhere near as much as the
cadet knows at graduation Many
of them probably know more ii
some ways. But the point is that
it is the aim of the department t.
place in responsible positions mer
who come from families which
attach some importance to educa-
ton, or who have had spirit anC
energy to get an education 70,
themselves; and the examation i,
the only practicable method o
wedding out uneducated men whC
have nothing in common will
their brother officers. In short
the education is a sort of shibbol
eth. The conclusion of the who'll
matter is that there are said to b.
at present over 400 vacancies, ant
nobody who was not in the Arm
during the Spanish war is eligible
Another difficulty is botherin

THAT a dull ignorant fool, man
or woman, should express pleasure
at the striking down of President
Mckinley by an Anarchists bullet,
we can understand and pity with
pitting contempt lol his narrow
and cowardly soul; but that a man
of the calibre of Senator Yelling
ton, of Maryland, and a member Of
the United States Senate, should
give expression to any sentiment
on the subject but by sympathy
for a stricken man, and righteous
wrath at an attempt on the life of
the nations Chief Magistrate, is an
exhibition of a low nature un-
worthy to associate with patriotic
people, or wear the garb Of a gentle
men. No matter what his personal
dislike of William Mckinley may
be, yet William Mckinley is Pre-
sident of the United States, and

The pickpocket who tried to "pAneh"
likely looking mans pocketbook and
found his fingers in the grasp of two
mapping turtles Was Japanese. \
native traveller in Japan had bought
the turtles. and, being afraid that he
would be charged heavily for their
transportation as live animals ON the
train. he placed them in a small. porta-
BILE trunk which he carried. When he
got on the train he held the trunk
so carefully under his arm that thief
who was IN the crowd Was sure the
man had something valuable in the
box. So he got into the same car ind
took an adjoining seat. Taking the
first opportunity. he cut ANAL hole
in the trunk with . sharp, knife and
Xlipped in his hand.
About this time the turtles con-
cluded that there was some thing do
ing and they took hold of his fingers
in a hearty way. Gritting his teeth.
the thief tried to withdraw his hand.
but he couldn't. Then he howled and
the owner of the trunk seized him ard
turned him over to the train people,
who at the next station gave him to
q policeman. The incident, however,
wasn't closed until the traveller was
punished for violation Of the railway
regulations.
