Trolley Accident Injuries Twenty.

Haverhill. Mass, May 15.-The de-
railment of an electric car of the Hav-
erhill, Merrimac and Amesbury Street
railway last night brought injuries to 20
passengers. The car left here for Mer-
rimac and had reached Reynolds Hills,
when it left the rails, ran so feet on the
ground, then swung diagonally across
the track and plunged over the EN-
bankment. The car did not overturn,
but the journey off the iron threw
about the passengers in violent fashion.
The cause of the derailment probably
was spreading rails. The motorman
claims that the car was going at
moderate rate of speed.

IN LOVES CONFESSIONAL.

To you, whose every word and deed and thought
Rings true and honest thrice tested gold.
The tale of my shortcomings have brought;
Now you have given the pardon besought
Forgive the little sins have not told!
The foolish petty faults scarce can name;
So mean and paSry are they that fear
You would not think them worth word OF
blame;
You would but pity and-despise them, dear.
And since love you so IN womsns wise
Nor am from womans curse of pride exempt
would far rather read within your eyes
Hatred. my best beloved, than contempt!
Is crystal clear-you. whom loved too we'll
The tale of my shortcomings have brought,
And you have given the pardon besought;
Forgive the little sins cannot tell!

A NATIONAL SCANDAL.

This paper has never become unduly ex-
cited over the Sampson Schey contro-
veTsy. Il has believed that both officers
were brave and competent, worthy of the
high positions they have attained in the
navy. Sampson Numbered when he wired
that now notorious telegram: 1.-The fleet
under my command" ETC. The telegram
was literally true, but it was not the
message that wise and broad guaged
man would have sent. The feet was UNI
der his command, but he was not present.
His absence did not reflect upon him at
all, but the eagerness to deny honor to
others lost him much popular respect But
it did not forfeit respect for his ability or
capacity, or proclaim him envious or
mean-spirited His recent admission that
he read the proof of Maclay's book in
which Schley is said to have run away lin
caitiff fight" and is, in addition, de-
nounced as a coward a "cur" and a
traitor does, however, show the mean
the respect of his countrymen. 1t shows
that he was willing that the students Of
the Naval Academy should be taught that
the second highest officer of 4the Ameri-
can navy was eur coward and a
traitor" thereby showing malice and
spleen that was not far removed from

Wilmington Star.
The State at one time had a very large
area of timbered swamp lands. How
much there is left we do not know, for
large tracts have been sold, or-more
properly speaking-thrown away, at fig
ures ranging from 1919 cents to so cents
an acre. Possibly some choice and de-
sirably located tracts. may have sold
for more, but if SO they were extraor-
dinarily we'll timbered and near enough
to transportation to make working
profitable. But even the highest prices
paid We're, compared with the value of
the property sold, merely nominal, and
put very little money into the State
treasury.
There is much of this land that is
susceptible of drainage, and If drained
would make fertile farms, one acre of
which would be worth hundred acres
at the price those lands usually sold.
Some of the penitentiary convicts could
not be better employed than in clearing
up and ditching and draining some OF
these lands. But whether this be done
or not, it is folly to be selling them at
nominal prices such as they have here
tofore sold at, for they will never be
less valuable, and in time to come,
when new railroads will be built near
valuable than they now are. They are
a good thing to hold even If nothing else
be done with them.
