NEW ROLLER ARRIVES.
1t Has Been Dubbed 'The John III
Sweeney, Jr.''

But a few more days and the old
road roller, better known as THE
John H. Sweeney" will have departed
from Wilmington. 1t Will be with no
feeling of regret when this monster
departs, but it has been working very
we'll for the past few months. The
new roller, already dubbed The John
H. Sweeney, Jr.," arrived yesterday and
was at once got in order and last
night was standing in front Of theC1ty
Hall with a full head of steam, ready
for work. This roller is large enough
for the work to be done on
the streets of Wilmington and
is a wonderful improvement over the
unreliable and cumbersome old roller.
In buying The John H. Sweeney
Jr.," the committee got the firm to
take the old roller in part payment, n
it will probably be sent off today.
Oh! the trouble the beard mas a
with that old roller. 1t was very much
on the style of a balky horse. You
could never tell when It was going TO
stop, n when it did it was an awful
job to get it started again. For many
months the old roller remained in the
ward at the citv hall the aldermen he-
ing afraid to let it be brought on the
streets for fear 1t could not be got
back. Eventually it was o~verhauled,
the name 1.-The John H. Sweenew,"
painted in large white letters on the
side. and the roller did move,
much to the surprise of all
who mad seen the machin-
lists at work on her. The name given
the rollers is more appropriate in con-
/ nection with the new roller than the
old one, for every one who knows AL
| derman Sweeney. knows him to be a
, hustler. Just after Alderman Sween-
! ey's name was placed or the old roller
; q. gentleman who noticed ii remarked
II don't like that. John H Sweeney
is a success and that old road roller is

st. Petersburg, June 9.-All Japanese
movements are interpreted here as
caused by anxiety to hamper a much
as possible whatever movement Gener-
al Kuropatkin may be making to help
Port Arthur. Not only have the Japa-
nese bombarded the west coast of
Lilac Tung peninsula, where the railway
runs close to the shore, making feints
of debarkation, but General Kuroki has
assumed the offensive eastward. He
has sem an overpoweringly strong
column that drove out the Russians
from a fortified position at Saimatze,
twenty miles northwest of Feng Wang
Cheng. infiicting a loss of one hundred
men. The authorities say that they are
without information concerning the
fight at Saimatze, beyond the official
dispatch that was made public tonight,
but that the Russian withdrawal was
quite in accordance with General Kuro-
patkin's ~prearranged plan. although the
Russian losses indicated stubborn fight
ing. Military critics profess to be not
altogether certain whether General
kuroki's movement means a real ad-
vance, or is simply a feint to distract
but they incline to the latter view.

igh Will Prevail.

Sorrow endureth for the night, but
Joy cometh in the morning. or words
to that effect, is a quotation often
used. And just as Sunshine follows in
the wake Of a storm cloud, right and
will follow wrong. Wrong may
sit the saddle for a time, but cannot
last. Thrice armed is he whose aus
is Just. and eternal truth and justice
will bring to him a rich reward.
Believing in the inevitable triumph
of right and justice we see no occasion
to throw conniption fits at the errors
wrongs-that man may commit. 1t is
lone thing to sympathiZe with n who
is the victim Of a wrong and quite an
Iother thing to threaten to do wrong
that right may be enthroned, because
lit was never intended in our legally
constituted system Of government, to
reach the ends Of justice in that way.
We are now in the midst Of exciting
land troublous times. Respect for law
It's the greatest and strongest safeguard
lof our social civilization, our industrial
success and well being generally. When
lcourts make mistakes there is a rem
ledy, as has been often demonstrated
lit is well to caution moderation and
conservatism.
The people "a be trusted to do the
fright thing at all times and under all
circumstances, when they are in pos
session of all the facts. we are not
living under a Russian form of gov
lernment, and no one man, nor ten, nor
la thousand men, can put US there. SO
llet US be as calm and serene as we can
under all exciting and trying condi-
itions, and when the clouds and fog
l~disperse the eternal principles Of right
