I'm Johnson looms up
From the New York sun.

From the New York sun.
The only result of the munich
elections OF this week which seems
have. possibly, any large political s
nificance is the election OF Tom Jo
son to be mayor of Cleveland by
Of the greatest majorities ever gi'
to a candidate for that office.
Carter Harrison's reelection
mayor Of Chicago by a large plura
was due, apparently, to a falling
in the votes polled of more than o
quarter, as compared with the re
tration. and it seems to have been
most wholly among Republicans.

didate, in st. Louis, appears to h
been due to the splitting of Republi
votes between their regular candid
and Merfwether, running as an nd
cate of municipal ownership" or

received less than a majority by NJ
than 10000, and he himself attribI

The election of Tom JohnsonI
Cleveland is Of real political sigl
cance, because he represents POSI-
convictions honestly held and
sistently maintained. In the first p4
he is on the sound money side, AMI
is reasonable to expect that in the
national campaign Bryan's silver
icy will be set aside; but the OF
radical features OF the Democratic \
forms Of 1896 and 1900 are suppo|
by him and carried to a still fur|
extreme. which would be the nad
political development. Besides,
Johnson is a rich man and practld
valuable as a leader for that red
And as he is also a liberal man
earnestly devoted to his social and.
litical convictions. he might be exi
ed to be a free giver Of money foI|
propagation of his principles in tht
tional campaign Of 1904.

Concerning Delaware College
1rom the NeWark Ledger.

From the Newark Ledger.
One good result of the agitation about
the removal OF Delaware College is
that it has tended to emphasize the
fact that while the college is most
eligibly situated at Newark it's inter
ests are co-extensive with the State.
Moreover, as its income is derived from
the general government, it can very
properly solicit students beyond the
bounds Of our State. 1t would be we'll,
at any rate, to pay attention to the
counties of the Eastern Shore of Mary
land and offer inducements to young
men from that section who desire a
collegiate education. The original
board of trustees might from time to
time as vacancies occur in it, fill up by
the election of Eastern Shoremen of in
fiuence. The crowding together OF
trustees in one neighborhood is a waste
of opportunity and narrows the scope
and usefulness of the college. The col
lege would amply justify the extension
OF her lines, and the Eastern Shore oil
Maryland is a good field to operate in,
fer there is a community OF interest
and strong affinity between its people
and those of our own State. Well
manned and well equipped in all of its
departments, the public should bs
made to know that Delaware College
offers every facility for the thorough
education Of young men.

Six rides for twenty-five cents and
transfer privileges unsurpassed in any
city in the United States for their lib
erality is the pleasing condition which
now confronts the thousands who use
the rapid transit facilities Of the Will
mington City Railway. To say that
the concession made in the matter OF

From Georgetown Sussex Republican.
There is no good reason why George

the good times with which the country

things to come to us while we sit still

thing to interest some manufacturing
industries and secure their location
here. With the destruction of the

does look to us very dark for our people

While the leaven of social, rel glous
and political liberty is at work on the
great human fabric OF Russia, it will
be many years before the people OF
that gigantic empire will enjoy even an
approximation Of those conditions as
we in this country OF liberal thought
and free speech understand them. The
great masses of the Russians have TO
learn tho lesson that the people are
omnipotent. They are being educated
in that direction i'm the face of auto
cratic suppression and repression, but
cal unrest within the empire is but
tho vent OF the liberal ideas now at
work in certain sections, most notably
in educational centres such as the Uni
vcrsity Of Warsaw and POulavy, the
seat OF the Astronomic Institute. The
uprisings and demonstrations are sup
pressed quickly, many persons are
punished, and then Russian liberty
shoulders for a time, its fires eating
farther and farther into the social fab
ric which it is destined at some future
time to set ahame and consume the
Russian autocracy and its illiberal in
stitutions. But II won't be yet. The
autocracy is entrenched too strongly
behind the ignorance and subserviency
OF the masses to be shaken by abortive
disorder, which has a missionary ef-

Review Of the PARKWAY Country

L. Percy Palmer has received from
G. E. Remy a copy of an illustrated
edition of the Yukon Sun, which is of
considerable interest because it shows
how much of civilization is already en-
jcyed by the people of Dawson City. far

Mr.. Remy is well known here. He is
a mining a and lived in this county
many years before he left for the Alas,
kan gold fields about two years ago.
The paper which he sends is an illus,
trated number of the leading newspa.
per in the gold country. and is printed
with surprising excellence considering
how far away in the cold wilderness
Dawson City is. 1t is apparent from
the Introductory words of this edition
that the people of Dawson do not con.
slider themselves in a position to de,
serve any pity or condolences. The
editor speaks on this point as follows:
