RIvnn ANp nAnnoR REronr

The report of the House Committee
on Rivers and Harbors is most grati-
flying to all Delawareans, and unless
there shall be some material ohange
i'm the bill by the Senate Committee,
we shall fare as well as we could pos
sibly have expected BY the bill as 1t is
now reported $4,000 IS appropriated
for the Wilmington harbor $4,000 OF
which is conditioned upon some proper
disposal of the sewage. IL is an open
secret that our best informed people
were not sanguine of getting anything.
When Tie question of the pouring cf
our sewage into the Chrsdana WIS
raised, many Thought That a further
appeal was useless. But the satisfac-
tory sum allowed, and the manner of
its appropriation probably will hasten
the solution orthe sewage problem. The
sum is large enough to make some real
improvement, and il will doubtless en-
courage our people in their purpose 20
make Wilmington a port for the en-
trance CT the largest craft
The people down the State have been
equally fortunate. Four streams have
an appropriation of $4,000 each. 1t
has been a common practice to allow
these streams small amounts. which
are expended without doing any real
permanent good, but with the sums re-
ported. the surveys for permanent i'm
provement may be followed. without
wasting the money on mere temporary
work The people Of Milford. Smyrna
and other towns are profoundly con-
cerned in keeping their waterways
open. and in their case the money prop
erly spent viii mean open streams
which otherwise would be virtually
closed Regardless of political preju-
dice. we must say that Congressman
Ball has done remarkably we'll and has
shown not only his interest. but mis-
ability to get what we so much need.
We violate no confidence in saying
that the interests OF Delaware we're
taken care of by certain influential
congressman, who were interested by
Congressman Ball. He has worked on
this day and might, and in making his
demands has taken no sectional view,
hut has urged tine needs of the whole
State
In privately expressing his sentl
ments, our Congressman has repeated
" declared that he would not be a
sectional representative. but would
consider the interests Of all communi-
ties in urging appropriations. In Sc
curing a report aggregating $4,000 for
the State. whether it is passed by the
Senate or not. he has shown that he
possesses push and enterprise and that
he has influence which has been to oul
advantage. Delaware needs and de
mands two senators. but in This cas'
she could not possibly have Jared bet
ter had she been fully represented. W.
trust that the items viii not be scaleI
down in the Senate committee. but VI
may expect Congressman Ball to eXer
all his energies to see it through On
OF our contemporaries has asked whe
Dr. Ball is to be heard from on th

We wish to say for the benefit of the
Republican. the Sentinel and several
other blithesome contemporaries,
which seem profoundly concerned re-
garding the personality of the editor
of this paper and his manifold duties.
that he does not write all the locals
or the natent medicine advertisements;
he does not set the type, read the proof
nor run the press. The Republican
had a laugh the other day, it seems
that one of the men in our mechanical
department observing that the Journal
usually prints the news twenty-four
hours in advance of most Whining
ton papers, and about four years in ad-
vance of the Republican, logically
made the date line a day ahead, After
printing a few copies it was discov-
cred. and because Of our modesty, we
had il changed. Of course there We're
no grammatical errors In that head
If there We're the Republican did not

kindred elevaing influences TO bother

The human heart is often regarded
as tickle but a woman has just died in
Philadelphia at the age OF los who was
faithful TO the memory Of her dead
lover for ninety-one years. All this
time she lived for a sentiment; the
wise ones Of earth may regard her de-
votion as a vague and empty dream
but such faithfulness shows a weak

A. LITERARY GENIUS

The genius of men is often wasted ON
matters of mere detail, when they
might be engaged in elevating the pub
lie mind and in making the lives Of
people sweeter and better. There is a
prominent State official in Dover, who
makes occasional incursions into the
field OF journalism. and these efforts
convince us that the sacrifice OF his
great talents in making out certificates
for corporations is an illustration of
how genius may be prostituted to the
desire for the filthy lucre derived
therefrom. Here is where the mistake
is made. You couldn't stop the pen OF
a Shakespeare by the ofer of a public
position. and we have right to de-
mand that the splendid genius of the
Dover man shall not be hidden under
a bushel. or rather a hogshead. Trope
metaphor and epithet flow from his
pen in a limpid stream, which form.
into a torrent as it proceeds anC
sweeps all before II. Recently he hal
contributed TO literature several littli
lprose etchings concerning us, and WI
must perpetuate the style, in order tha
the great loss to the world may b
averted. In the following we attemp
to reproduce one OF his utterances.

THE STAR FAILS TO mLUMINE

THE STAR FAILS TO lLLUMlNE
The Sunday Star, in its effort to de-
feat the Welsbach lighting contract is
illogical and unfair. Referring to the
statement Of a contemporary that FOR
a period Of several days tae Welsbaoh
lights were the only cnes in service, it
days AS a matter of fact it appears
that the electric lights were in service
able condition. but at the request OF the
cisy officers the current was turned of
to avoid possible accidents from the
numerous telephone wires that were
down, many OF them crossing the cleo
trio light wires and thus becoming
charged with a heavy current that
made them dangerous to man anc
beast
So we must believe that tine electri'
lighting apparatus was an right; tai'
only difficulty was the interference b.
other wires In other words il thor
had been no mother wires in the cit
we should have had no intederenc
with the electric lighting This is ol
a par with saying If there had been d
storm OF sleet. there would have beel
no trouble. But there was a storm o
sleet. and the telephone wires did in
terfere: and, to tell the complet
truth. the electric light wires were al
fected just as were the wires Of III
telegraph and the telephone. Mean
