THAT TROLLEY IN KENT

Kent county is to have it's trolley.
There no longer is any doubt Of it, for
many contracts have been let, and the
powerhouse is in course of constuc-
ton. The promoters of the enterprise
have been criticised privately and in
the press for their delay in beginning
the work, but that was due to lack OF
knowledge concerning the difficulties
encountered in getting the proposed
road financed properly and advanta-
geously.
This extensive trolley system will be
ia big thing for Kent, and extensions
proposed viii, IL carried out, make il
equally advantageous 10 Sussex. We

pHrLApELpHrANs no BLAME

Actuated by a reprehensible and
overweening desire to serve the selfish
and pecuniary interests Of personal
and political friends, Mayor Ashbridge
has betrayed the people Of the city of
Philadelphia and turned their streets
over to a cahal Of money-seekers and
franchise traffickers, utterly disregard
ing the offer Of John Wanamaker OF
S2,5OO.00O for the rights and privileges
that this cabal, by the grace OF the
mayor, got for nothing
But what better can be expected from
the head OF a municipality who is the
servile tool Of Senator Quay and his
constituencies political lieutenants9
What better can be expected from the
man who upheld Director English in
his vile threats against the private
character Of Mr.. Wanamaker?
The people of Philadelphia assumed
responsibility for Mayor Ashbridg,
when they elected him. They were
warned what he was and also what h,
possibly might do. IF they have put
a man in who robs them Of their mos
valuable possessions. they have nobody
to blame but themselves. Their ex
perience in this street railway fran.

REST WISHES AND THANKS

A little more than one year ago the
Evening Journal promised to give the
poopie Of Wilmington and the State a
thoroughly good, up-to-date newspaper
That the people have appreei-
ated its work is shown by the cir
culation. which has increased
more than three-fold and the patron
age which the merchants Of Whining
ton have given our adyertls-
ing columns. That patronage has
been most nattering during the past
year, and we trust that The work oil
the coming year win be as satisfactory
in every respect
We regret that we could not retain
the services Of George Carter, but
it was impossible for a Wilmington
newspaper to compete with a great
metropolitan daily, and Mr.. Carter ac-
cepted an offer on that stalwart Repub-
lican paper. the New York Press, which
gives him far better opportunity for
promotion than his position as
manager here could. In COM
mon with his many friends who
recognize his worth as a newspaper
man. we wish him the continued sue
cess which his ability deserves.
The Evening Journal has not been
IN the habit Of blowing its own horn
but we do desire to say, now that the
opportunity offers. that we deeply ap-
preciate the many iiattering testimon-
ials which have come entirely unso
lioited from the merchants and adyer-
Users Of Wilmington as to the value %
our columns as an advertising me-
dium; and 10 assure all of our readers
who have so kindly commended our eff
fort. to give them a bright, newsy pa
per, that the Evening Journal viii con
tinue its work of improvement and
from day to day will give all the news
beth general and local, in an attractive
and entertaining way.

LETTERS FROM TIE PEOPLE


To the Editor OF the Evening journal.
Sir: Tn an interview this morning with
a prominent member of the Car and Ship
Painterg Protective Association, your
correspondent learned the following: IT
seems strange that hardly one-half of
the people of our city are aware. that the
shipyard painters of the Harlan and Hol-
hngsworth Company are on a strike AL
most everywhere one goes one hears the
question, How are the striking machin-
lists getting along2" but seldom hears the
same thing said about painters. On May
IA tho Car and Ship Painters Protective
Association was formed with twenty-eight
members and since then steadily has
grown until It now numbers almost 100,
with excellent prospects of doubling that
number I'm the near future. on May q
the members of this association working
for the Harlan and Hollingsworth Com
pany made a request that they be granted
a nine-hour day with no decrease i'm pay.
The request was refused and at noon on
May % the men walked out, thirty-six
strong and, with two or three exceptions,
are just as strong to-day. Those excep-
lions are men who have drawn their time
cause for that IS those men are married
and have families depending upon them.
We would have kept them with us. but,
having no financial backing, It was impos-
sible to do so. We now are on the third
week OF this strike and not man has
been assisted financially because we did
not have the money to do so. We have
subscription lists out asking for help
but 1t seems that the machlnists have
been ahead OF as and collected nearly all
the money in town. Some OF the people
who have contributed to the machinists
and know that the painters are on a
strike, are under the impression that we
get "a share Of that money, but such is
not the case, I can assure you. On the
contrary ! called to see n prominent bust
ness man on Monday last and presented a
subscription list to him He looked Il over
and said he had made a donation of a
check on Saturday TO the machlnists and
he was under the impression that the
painters would receive some OF Il.
stated that such was not the case as the
maohinists were collecting for the machin-
lists only. lie was very sorry but under
the circumstances he could not give moro
/
That Is only one instance. There are
many more OF the same kind. do moi
want TO create the impression that All
are like tho one just mentioned for scv.
eral OF our friends have contributed tc
what we think is a just cause and tho
money so received will go to relieve the
needy strikers Of our association. and
earnestly hope where a subscription lis
is presented Il will be looked over anC
carefully read. I know II the reader be q
union man or sympathizer he will con
tribute to the best Of his ability
