NEWARK. N. j., June t3O.-Judge
Kirkpatrick to-day announced to counsel
representing complaining bondholders OF
the United States Shipbuiding Company
that he had read all the papers In the
case and had decided that the corporation
10 insolvent, and that its directors had
failed 10 take proper steps to protect the
bondholders. and seemed to be without
ability to raise funds. Therefore, In tho
Interest OF the bondholders. both those
who appear here as compliments and all
the others. he would appoint receivers
and hear counsel as to whom they may
desire to name.
1t was agreed that the order should be
signed Immediately. and that counsel
would have until to-morrowlto agree on
suitable person for the appointment,
but II no agreement is reached the court
will name the receiver tomorrow at 10
o'clock.
WITHOUT GUIDANCE.
Judge Kirkpatrick's opinion. given out
tonight. enters very fully into the
merits OF the controversy. After show
funds that the directors are unable to
raise money upon the corporations
credit to meet maturing obligations. and
that 1t is therefore insolvent the Judge
goes on to say:
1T would appear that the directors Of
the company have abdlcated their pow
ers. and that the company Is drifting
along without any guidance. Not only
are the directors not striving to relieve
the company from embarrassment. but
they are advising tile stockholders to
submit to numerous extortions to pro-
cure present funds. and threatening fore
closure to those bondholders who refuse
to rellnquish the security OF their mort
gage. These people are entitled to the
protection OF the court. and that pro-
lection can only be had by the interfer-
ence Of the court and the appointment
OF receiver"

DEMOCRATIC MIsFORTUNES.

The saying that you can always
count on Democrats TO do the wrong
thing at the wrong time has been
proven in many instances, notably
at Kansas City, in 1900, and Sara
toga, \. Y, in 1902, but the lesson
taught by the mistakes made in these
two instances seems not to have had
as salutary effect in some States as
might have been expected. The an
nouncement comes that George Fred
Williams, of Massachusetts, the man
who, with W. J. Bryan and Tom
Johnson, represents ali that is left of
free silver leadership, is about to at
tempt the reorganization of the
party in the Bay State along Social
istic lines, and that the new organi-
zation will wage active warfare on
the now dominant wing of the party
led by William 4. CASTOR, late candi-
date for Governor, who, though de
feated, still holds the whip hand.
Williams action, it is true. cannot
affect the party at large to any great
extent, except to exercise a more or
less demoraliEing effect, but it may
and probably will, cause a split in
the party in Massachusetts, and
thus eventually defeat the one or
two Democratic congressman, now
composing part of the State dele
cation. This attempt of Williams
is only one OF several which may be
expected between now and the next
Democratic National Convention.
and all OF them will have a more OF
less injurious effect. 1t seem. that
these troubles are heirlooms of the
Democratic party, and TO them il
part may be ascribed, in a measure
its lack Of success at the polls. Wher
the party becomes absolutely har
monious then, and not until then
the Republicans will have cause TO
fear.

AGooD ROADS BILL.

Ii is IA source of much satisfaction
10 know that the subject of good
roads Is going to receive some atten-
ton from the Legislature this year.
A bill has been offered in the House
OF Delegates by Hon. Chas. L. l.assi-
ter having for it's end the improve
ment of the public highways of the
State. Among other things the bill
makes an annual appropriation for
keeping in repair the highways of the
Commonwealth, or OF such OF them
as may seek State aid, and provide,
for the appointment of State Road
Commission, which shall have charge
of the general subject for the State.
We have not vet seen the bill. but,
speaking on general principles. it is
hard TO understand how any reason
able man can oppose such a measure,
and vet the Richmond Times informs
us that the bill will be vigorously
opposed. These opponents of the
bin. who are going so put up such a
stiff fight, should be ready to offer
something better. Thepeople of Viz
ginia are getting very tired OF travel
ing through 'hog-ponds" about four
or five months in every year.
Our public roads today are a dis
grace to civilization and a barrier to
progress. The Legislature, if it sees
fit, can pass a law that will soon re-
lieve the situation and place Virginia
in a much better light before the
world. How many of our Legislators
would like to take some prospective
settler for a drive over our country
roads? We dare say that these very
opponents of a good road measure
would te among the first to decline
Some time ago We talked with one
of the largest real estate dealers in
this section. He informed Us that he
had on foot the running OF an excur-
sion from the Northwest to this ter
ritory for the purpose OF showing our
Western friends the beauties and adj
vantages of Virginia, but that owing
to the fearful condition of our roads.
he was compelled to postpone the eN-
cursion until Spring.
1t is false economy TO neglect the
Improvement of our highways. I'm
proved highways mean more valua-
bic real estate and more valuable re-
atty means more taxes and more tax
es mean a return to the public treas
ury of the money spent in these i'm
provements. Aside from this. with
good highways one can travel with
more comfort and less fear of acct
dent.
Let US keep hammering on this
good roads question until it shall be
exceedingly unpopular for Legisla-
tor to oppose any measure of relief
