IRRIGATION BILL.
What the National H0mkmakeI
Has to Say About the
Measure.

The National Homemaker, a news
paper devoted to the interests OF Ame-
rican settlers and home-builders, pub
fishes editorially the following COM
ments upon the irrigation bill introdu-
ced by Mr.. Newlands:
The statement is not gainsaid by
those who are familiar with legislative
affairs at Washington that Congress
will take some definite action this Win
ter on the irrigation question. The
discussion of the subject last winter
was lengthy and varied, but it was the
short session OF Congress, and those
! who were opposed or were not active
" favorable, were enabled to push It
! aside in the press OF other established
f, measures. The discussions, however,
developed great strength for the ques-
ton. and the present Congress Will
! have to meet the issue and legislate
for it. The plan that is probably the
most feasible for. beginning is that
embodied in a bill originally ntrodu-
= ced by Mr.. Newlands OF Nevada which
provides that the proceeds from the
, sales OF public lands IN the arid States
I and Territories amounting to $4,000
, COO or S3,ooo.ooo,e shall constitute an
!, arid land reclamation fund 20 be used
+ for the construction OF the Natona
@ Government OF irrigation works, anc
r that the lands SO brought under irriga
. ton shall be sold in small farms tract:
:, to actual settlers at the pro rata cos
Il OF the irrigation construction. The
n money thus received would be turnet
10 back into the fund to be inlmediatel,
.e used over again under the direction o
+ the Secretary OF the Interior.
N BY this method the Government
would be no loser by the transaction
while irrigated land could be offere
to settlers at low cost insuring it
quick settlement.

II is always a pleasure to commend
the efforts OF genius In recent years
the English language has been en-
riched by certain Delaware writers
to an extent that is remarkable and
gratifying. The speech of the ordinary
man in consequence is becoming ornate
and picturesque. In the columns
of a Dover paper, in which the edi-
torial utterances are dashed off during
the leisure moments in the life OF an
official. who eingle-handed, is attend
ing to the duties Of the Executive, we
see limpid stream Of words ever
vending its way towards the sea Of
redundancy.
Here is an extract which should be
printed in every text book of English
used in the State: 1T seemed to be a
rather hopeless case of mental opacity,
blinded by the false assumption that
what happened in 19OO must happen
in 1902. a very precarious footing,
mentally speaking, to stand on, and
very imperfect logic"
That shows the marvellous power of
words; it is rich in it's suggestveness
and starts the imagination on a
pleasurable journey to seek the end Of
the rainbow. The metaphors may be
mixed. but what of that? Shake
speare did the same. 1t is a trick that
our great writer's have. But let us
attempt to see what the little gem
means. First there is mind Opaque;
then it becomes blinded, and finally
gets on a precarious footing, and then
indulges in imperfect logicl This is a
new style; the writer is impatient OF
the narrow rules of the schools. He
leaves the world and scars. May the
wings of his dirgible machine keeT
clear of the blades of his propeller, i,
our prayer.
But. listen further, gentle reader,
When too late, the inspiring clutcl
Of those marble and magnificent maze,
under the dome OF the capital, has got
ten firm hold upon the Dr.. and tn
desire to return lis far greater than tn,
desire to get there in the first place
d Just listen to thatl You see thos
marble mazes have a clutch" O
course these are mazes of a ne
sort. But what are marble mazes
Oh. dear reader. that is not given 1
to know. 1t seems that they are
S peculiar kind of variants" that r.

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
shoppIng FemaIe Make a BIunder

In Hppincott's store there is a
small bench near the elevator upon
which the ever-alert elevator boys sit
while waiting for a call. A young wo-
man recently caused some amuse-
ment by mistaking the exterior for the
interior of the elevator cage. She no
ticed the boy sitting on the benoh and
the iron cage alongside of him. Wish
ing to go to the third floor she sat
down alongside of the boy and said:
Let me off at the third floor"
"Ma'am." said the boy looking at her
in amazement.
Il say put me off at the third floor.
| want to go up in this elevator
We'll. madam, why don't you get in
the elevator cage?'
Good gracious, am not in the ele-
vator?"
mo, ma'am, you are sitting on a
bench on the outside Of it"
What a simpleton l have been MAX
ing of myself" she exclaimed, as she
hastily entered the elevator amid the
laughter of the customers, who wit
messed her blunder.
After making her purchases on the
third floor she descended by way or
the stairs, preferring it to the elevator.

The Every Evening, after waiting
three weeks. has taken up the Collins
murder case. OF course, at this late
date it could not publish the news that
the Evening Journal has been giving
for three weeks, but as we had cover
ed every point, the only thing left was
to concoct a story having many ele-
ments of truth and more distortions
This was to discredit the Evening
Journal. This is progressive journal
ism with a vengeance But the attempt
fails because such Grass ignorance of
the case was shown by the writer, that
the story might have been manufac-
tured without leaving Wilmington. In
Laurel letter printed in another col
umn, a little light is shed on the
erudite article in the columns of our
contemporary.

Has MANY UPS and Downs

There are more ups and downs in
my business than the ordinary man
has in his whole life" said Joseph
Long, who runs the elevator in the
Ford building
Il am up and down this shaft sew
erai hundred times a day. 1t is not
monotonous. because here l can study
human nature and have a good time
observing the girls and men who use
my car in making their way to the Of
fees in the building.
You see those mirrors in the sides
there? Well, nearly all of the people
who ride with me stand so they can
look in one or the other of them. The
women like to see if their hats are on
straight ana the men to arrange their
ties. BY standing to one side and
looking into one you can see reflected
in the other the back of your head
and the fit of your coat. You can see
your profile in the bevel and dear
knows what else besides. Nearly
everybody. man, woman or child, who
rides with me. stands on that spot so
they may see their mirrored selves.
Tho spot, as you see, is worn, and il
had to carry many more people day.
q new floor would soon be necessary.
Passengers put queer questions to
me sometimes and it is necessary for
an elevator man to be a veritable in
formation bureau. The other Gay an
excited individual rushed into the car
and before l could close the door aor
a. rrrh ho f1I h,
putting questions to me at a 2.40 rate "
Does the Indian Rubber Company
have offices in this building?" he
asked.
81 told him that / did not know OF
any occupants by that name but said
there is a corporation trust on the
fourth floor and the manager might
know something about the company
he wanted"
No, this company has got an Of
fee of its own and l know its in this
building" he protested.
Il did not know what to say except
that the company had no office here.
In the meantime the car had been
filling up with people who were anx-
ious to be lifted to the upper stories
and l Just had to make that man get
out so l could shut the gate. Every
body in the car thought it was a joke
on me. but l thought it was on the
man. because he made everybody think
he was crazy"
Sometimes Joe has a vacation
which may continue for several days.
This happens when the elevator gets
out of order ana he has to stand for
all the "cussing" that is aimed at his
machine by the tired individuals who
have to walk up the five flights of
Stars.

Mean Attempt to Olscredit

Sir: Laurel. and in fact, the whole
of Sussex County is astounded at the
account of the Collins tragedy that ap-
peared in the Every Evening Of last

grogation of inaccuracies and incon-
sistencies, contained in the long screed

PENINSULA PRESS
The End

From the SUSSEX Republican.
Thursday was the first of May, the
end of political eternity for the Regu-
lar Republicans per the decree of J..
Edward Addicks. They were given this
date to accept the demands Of that
gent or they were to be forever cast
forth into outward darkness. The day
has passed and we cannot perceive
very much change in the political
heavens. The Regulars are pursuing
the even tenor of their way just as if
J. Edward Addicks did not exist or
had never issued his manifesto. His
followers seem very much concerned
for fear the Regulars will really take
them at their word and let them 20 it
alone in this campaign If it was not
for the Republican party, it is the fate
these henchmen off Addicks deserve.
But II is the duty of every good Re
publican to do what he can for the
good OF the party while the present
abnormal political condition exist in
this State We believe such a desire
will influence most Republicans. If il
does. it will seal the fate of Addicks
this very campaign. His ultimate fail
ure is sure. but it may be delayed for
years or as long as certain men per-
NIT themselves to be mislead by men
who are enriching themselves at Ad-
dicks expense. When they awake to
the fact that Addicks is a dead duck
in the senatorial pond and realize
their duty to the Republican party
the finis OF this political farce will be
reached

Sometime ago the Governor of New
Jersey refused the request of the Gov
ernor of Delaware for the requisition
of several New Jersey men who had
been fishing in the waters of the Della
ware river contrary to our Act of AS
sembly. Recently a Dover magistrate
discharged man wanted in Atlantic
City. n. j., on the charge of en-
bezzlement, because the detectives pre-
sented only requisition from the Gov
ernor of New Jersey
This whole thing savors too much
OF the schoolboy play of tit for tat.
II the Governor of New Jersey will
persist in doing wrong, it is no reason
for the Governor of this State TO do
likewise. Such a policy or rather a
lack of comfy between the two States
would make each State a harboring
ground for the escaped suspects OF

THE LITERARY WORLD

A series which should have been
named "Tlhe Enohantments of Our
Modern Aladdins." if considered solely
from the point of view of ro-
nance, is begun in the May Cosmo-
politan. But these sketches possess as
well a business interest equally for
clerk and capitalist, for manufacturer,
farmer and merchant The man who
would understand the drift of our news
in finance and business must read these
lives, so full of incident, of chance, OF
hard labor and marvellous success. AS
ii is, the series receives only the COM
monplace name of Captains of Indus
try" Each character is treated by a
noted writer familiar with his subject.
The principal feature of the May
National is its treatment of the Trans
Isthmian canal problem. The National
was the first advocate of the Darien-
Mandingo. or San Bias tunnel route
for the canal. It's earlier articles on
this subject have been widely quoted

A HOMLING FAKCE

The demented negro confined in
Georgetown jail. charged with the
murder of Mrs. Collins. was in Smyrna
on April II and 12. This is proved a.
far as anything can be proved hy tes-
timony not under oath, Tile Every
Evening. however, thinks he is a bad
negro, capable of the crime, and that
blood was undoubtedly on his clothes
when captured. We are indirectly re-
buked because we don't want to see the
crime fastened on a man who wasn't
There. The argument seems to be as
follows: "Of course, we know that he
was in Smyrna when the murder in
Laurel was committed, but then he is
a bad man, and we must not depend
on a mere alibi, even II proved"
We think this farce is about played
out. and we hope some lawyer will
come forward and ask for the release
of The negro on habeas corpus. We
say that there Is overwhelming proof
that an alibi can be established, and
ii is time that these trips to the scene
OF the murder, and sweating" ordeals
ceased. We ask, why has not the
Smyrna end Of the story been investi-
gated? And we ask further if the Even
ing Journals story is false, why hasn't
someone taken the pains to prove it.?

A nIRECTiAPPEAL.

The seven Regular Republican men,
bers of the Legislature Saturday even
ing mailed to the Union Republican
members of that body a proposition to
elect two United States senators. II
appears in another column of this
paper It is directed TO those members
who voted continuously for Mr.. Ad-
dicks for both seats in the Senate.
1t Is the same plan which was trans
mitted through the chairman OF the
Regular Republican State Committee
30 Chairman Alice. of the Union conf
mittee. with the request that he bring
It TO thlt attention of the Union Repub-
lican members OF the Legislature.
II was transmitted in this manner
out OF courtesy to the respective State
Committees Instead Of allowing the
members of the Legislature to make
reply, Mr. Alice and his committee as
sumed to reply for them, and THAT was
a flat refusal to consider IT,
Consequently this time the seven
Regular Republicans, without consul
tation with anyone, appeal TO their
colleagues without the Intervention of
any person or body They make their
offer man to man, member to mem
her. and ask the courtesy ofan answer.
Il now remains to be seen whether
these members have the courage to
accept or reject it on their own re-
sponsibility, or il they will feel under
the necessity Of consulting the higher
powers before maying a reply.
We know THAT the seven members
making the proposition have not con-
suited anyone regarding its terms.
They take the ground that the matter
isavery grave, and as they have been
charged with the important duty OF
electing senators, they have decided tC
appeal directly 10 their colleagues, eX'
pecting that they viii act with equa.
independence.
Ii We mistake not the temper of the
masses, They will demand that this
proposition shall have full considera-
tion. IL will not do 60 treat il with a
sneer as did the State Committee
Members OF the Legislature are not
elected simply to do political work
they are servants OF the people and Of
fcers ofthe law. This Legislature was
elected TO do certain Things, and q
great duty remains undone. In few
months its life will expire by limaa
tion. After that any one Of severa
things may happen.
Another thing must be taken int
considerations this proposition is no
an easy one to make. These sever
men have put aside their personal pref
erences. They have their choice, and
has cost an effort to lay it aside. Blu
thinking of the interests of the Repub
lican party and of the State they max
an offer attractive for its fairness an
generosity. VIII il be accepted?

A Mistake
From the Dover Index.

From the Dover Index.
That mistakes will occur in the man
agement of party affairs is fully
shown by the resolution recently
adopted by the Democratic League OF
Wilmington, by which it was attempt
ed to cast a reflection upon the public
career Of ex-United States Senator
George Gray,
If such action could be productive Of
any good to the party, or if Judge
Gray We're an aspirant for a seat in
the Senate. there might have been
some reason for the adoption of such
a resolution But as there was nothing
in the resolution but that which may
be considered direct insult to the
friends of Mr.. Gray, it is impossible
to conceive of any advantage which
may enure to the benefit of the party
by the action of the Democratic
League. Certainly the resolution fails
to meet with the approval of many of
the Leagues members, and those re-
sponsible for its passage must have
been over anxious to give an express
sion of their personal dislike for Mr..
Gray.
Irrespective Of any difference of.
opinion as to the merits or demerits
OF any of the official acts of Mr.. Gray
while he represented Delaware in the
United States Senate, the record there
made by him placed him in the fore
most ranks of the statesmen Of the
country, a position formerly occupied
by his illustrious predecessors and
representatives from Delaware.
