Capital and Labor
By Jay COOKE,
Veteran Pennsylvania Eixaancier.

Men like Morgan making this country
great. Instead of wasting their time and money
in useless pleasure, they devoting arduous
labor and brain power to organizing great en-
terprises and developing forces which increase
the wealth of the nation They prosper great
y it is true, but it is absurd to say they prosper
at the expense of the people. They prosper
with them Such men should be encouraged
and not attacked.

A Wonderful Feat.

Recently a party from the embas

of the life-saving stations they
thought they would like to test the
conditions of lifeboat work So
clothing themselves in bathing cos
tunes and cork jackets, they each
took an oar in a lifeboat, to the huge
delight of the Turkish boatmen
One of the secretaries of the British
embassy is never seen without ar
eyeglass, and is said even to sleeT
with it. On this occasion he was
faithful to the glass, and solemnly
embarked in a cork jacket and eye
glass. All the proper exercises wer.
gone through, and finally the boa
was eapsized and righted again b.
its own crew. AS they crept from
under the capsized boat a howl O.
surprise came from the Turks, 70

If the bacteriologists tell us we must
scrub the mouthpieces Of telephones
once a day to get rid of dangerous
bacilli. of course we must obey orders
from such a source. But why once a
day only? The last user of the phone
may have deposited disease germs in
the mouthpiece. Is it not necessary
TO scrub after each user?
Then there are the doorknobs-ter-
rible lurking places of infection. Should
we not have these scrubbed as soon as
use has, possibly. made them deadly?
And the straps and handrails of street
ears-it is an old story that these are
thick with bacterial colonies. If this
fear of possible and impossible infec-
ton from invisible sources gets strong
enough we may get as scared as the
Salemites in the days of witchcraft.-

AIKEN were ample for publishing

some instances.
The Evening Journal" criti-
Used the attitude assumed by the
State towards public printing dur
ing the term of Governor Tunnel
and since continued; and, in COM
nenting on a correspondence on
his subject from Dover, says:
Gan excuse is offered that this course
had to be resOrted to on account Of the
practice on the part of certain pub
fishers Of padding bills which were
presented to the Legislature, and which
we're frequently outrageously out of
proportion to the work done.
Granting that this excuse is sufficient,
it is time for the matter to be adjusted
on some basis that shall be fair to the
ress and fair to the State. The Con
tuition contemplates legislation or
the matter of State printing, and bill
was prepared and presented to the
Printing Committees of the last Legis-
lature. but it died in one members
desk and certain State officials were
pleased at its demise. We presume
that should a bill be drawn and of

the same fate, yet that should not deter
those who are interested in the mat
ter. A proper measure providing fol
a State printer and the equitable award
ing Of all the work would save the
State money, and be more satisfactory
to the press"
We claim an exception to theil
presumption that bill to meet the
situation would fail during the com
ing session of the Legislature. Or
the contrary, we believe the time
is ripe for representation and en-.
Iactment Of such law, and pledge
the support of the CHRONICLE fol
. its enactment.
The laws as enacted and signed
should be published at once in the
newspapers of the State for public
information, instead of being stored
away for months before being pub
lished in pamphlet form.
Public printing now conducted
is a fat thing for a few,and the gen
eral public know but little abou
the object of it-while paying tn

because the public has no oppoI

THE Democratic papers of Kent
and Sussex counties are making
insinuations that exhorbitant
charges have been paid for printing
by the Levy Courts; but they fail
to publish the record Of the courts
as facts. Why do they beat about
the bush ? They are probably
ashamed of their own records in
the same line, and that prevents
themdischargingt their duty as news
papers-if their insinuations are
based on facts.

the Ninth Representative District Of

EVERY citizen of Delaware should
favor good roads, and members of
the legislature should be prepared
to take an advanced stand in favor
of any measure that will stop the
wasteful system so long in practice
in this state. Many men are good
farmers, but poor road builders;
and, the State should have a general
plan for road Improvements to be
made by or under directions Of

For once the CHRONICLE is in

of Wilmington, and that on the
subject of State printing. We
have contended for many years that
with a competent man as State
Printer, the State and counties of
Delaware would receive better ser
vice, the publications be placed be-
fore the people more fully and from
five to ten thousand dollars per
wear be saved on the amount paid
out heretofore. In plain language,
fair prices for public printing would
be paid and more general publicity
be obtained. Exhorbitant charges
more than twice the highest adj
vertised rates-have been made by
newspapers for work performed
and these bills have been paid BY
the Levy Courts without objections
simply because no member of suct
bodies was familiar with printing
and the prices paid by the bust

THE people of Kent and Sussex
counties have but little respect for
the newspapers of Wilmington, and
the reason is found in their con-
tinued and wanton insults pub
lished. in their editorial columns.
Tae evening papers are probably
the worst offenders in this direct
insult to a people who have been
far more honest than their breth-
rem of the north county. Insults
as to their political opinions as ex
pressed at the polls have heretofore
been borne, because the charges are
so false that a general opinion pre-
vailed that no sensible people would
believe or entertain for a moment
the charges of wholesale debauch-
cry of voters as fact.
These stories have emanated- in
Wilmington, and from whence in
spiration has gone forth to the great
dailies Of other cities to defame the
people of lower Delaware, who are
far more honest, more honorable
and worthy Of citizenship thar
their traducers and their constit
uency.
The people of Kent and SUSSEX
counties are capable of taking care
of themselves; and, will also SCI
that Wilmington city is kept within
proper lines; and, they will neve
surrender to, or permit dictatiol
from that quarter even though thei
food gates Of calumny continue t
blacken the fair fame of our PEG
pie.
