SAFETY IN THEATRES.

The disaster at the Chicago theatre
has served to call attention to every
amusement building in the country.
1t has been suggested that with proper
appliances the flames might have been
subdued or confined to the stago. and
there seems to be little doubt that had
tho asbestos curtain been lowered there
would have been a difforont tale to tell.
But there is one idea that is simple
and ought TO be Insisted on: the best
precaution is to create numerous exits
whereby an audience may vacate a
building in a few minutes There
should be a passage along both sides
OF theatre building. and numerous
doors or windows In the auditorium
opening into these passages. with
such an Arrangement il would be inn
possible TO entrap an audience.
Then. too an exits should be clearly
designated. In a moment OF panic poo-
pie do not reason; they act on impulse.
and the proper suggestion FOR safety
should be before thoir eyes Even
though under normal circumstances an
4udience car leave a building IN ten
minutes. yet there may be destruction
to life where a fire does not spread
through the auditorium for fifteen or
twenty minutes. People become panic
stricken, frenzied and rush to safety.
crushing the weak and blocking the
avenue Of escape. The best solution is
3 large number Of exits that arc exits
and not blind alleys alled with rub
blsh. and they should be plainly mark
ed 50 that their existence is always ap-
parent.

THE AssAwoMAN CANAL.

The Lewes Board Of Trade is pre-
pairing for banquet to be given on
the nth instant to urge the compile
ton OF the Assawoman canal II has
every reason for insisting on the
carrying out Of the project. The plan
was approved by tho government and
an appropriation was made. under
which part Of the work was under
taken Thus the government has
virtually pledged itself to complete the
enterprise. and the people OF Lewes
are not asking for anything save that
the government shall carry out what
it has promised and undertaken.
No new survey Is required. but simply
an appropriation for work that is in
complete, and under surveys already
approved The government has alread,
spent 100000 and It is estimated that
1t can be completed for a further ex-
penditure OF 100000. This is a COM
paratively small sum. but the problem
is slight. Il simply requires rhe dig
ging Of channel through marsh and
sand. There Is no question as to the
success Of the undertaking. 1t Will
open q channel for sailboats and small
steamers from Assawoman Bay to the
Delaware. Il would open up a rich
country that now has no outlet to the
markets. The products Of the farms.
lumber fish. oysters and fruits would
come to Wilmington and Philadelphia
in vast quantities. and as conse-
quence considerable section OF the
State would prosper. From any point
along this canal, which would offer an
unobstructed passage at all times. be-
Ing q Underwater canal. boats could
reach Wilmington or Philadelphia in
twelve or fourteen hours. This means
that It would be possible to shin by
water fruits and vegetables and get
them IN the markets in proper season.
II should not be dinicut to secure an
appropriation for q continuance OF the
work as the government has already
spent a considerable sum. The exca-
waiting that has been DONE unless the
work is carried on. viii be to do over
again in part. as the cut is hlling ur
BY reason OF the washings from the
rains. We are in fun sympathy with
the efforts Of the Lewes Board Of
Trade and we are certain that all the
newspapers in the state would lend
encouragement were the matterbrousht
specifically to their attention.

These enthusiastic reformers are MOI
content, however. with an appeal TO the
facts. They are held responsible for the
idiot!c story originating in Salt Lake to
the effect that the Mormons are pannine

Senate; to grasp and hold the balance of
power for the purpose Of debating iegls-
lation that win give the Mormons liberty

Iurtherance OF this scheme, the Mormon
Church officials are arranging to secure
thirteen votes in the Senate, through
elections 10 be held in the Western
States. and thus assume dictatorial po-
sstion in national affairs.
IL has been some years since the coun-

PERRY HEArH's INTERVIEWS.

It would be better for the Republi-
can porty to which Perry Heath pro-
fcsses such loyalty. II he would drop
into retirement for time and allow
his duties on his Western paper to en-
gross his attention. When one takes
advantage OF the statute OF limitations
to avoid an appearance In the courts
he is not likely to benefit n cause by
overmuch speaking. 1t seems that in
his recent interviews which have had
wide publicity Mr.. Heath has been
slngularly unfortunate. A few days
ago he told of a conversation which
he had had with President Mckinley
at the White House two days befh'e
the Buffalo tragedy, in which the Pres
idont had said that he expected Mark
Hanna to succeed him. Some enter
prising person. however, called aften-
tion to the fact that President McKin-
ley had not been in Washington for
some weeks prior to his visit to Buff
falo. Presumably one Of the princi-
pals OF such an important conference
should know where it occurred. Pos
sbly Mr.. Heath was thinking that this
sign OF intimacy with President Nc
Kinley would do for him in the public
estimate what the statute of limita-
tions had done In law.
But Mr. Heath has been unfortunate
in another interview. He is authority
for the statement that President Roose-
welt had asked Mr.. Hanna to remain
as chairman Of the Republican COM
mittee. but that the Ohio Senator had
declined. Now comes President Roose-
welt with The positive statement that he
and Mr., Hanna have had no c0nversa-
tion on The subject. He goes on to
deny that be has asked Mr.. Root, Gov
ernor Crane or anybody else to take
the place. lie intimates that the Ma
tional Committee viii probably select
its own chairman when the time comes.
and that discussions as TO who the
man will be are idle as the members Of
the committee viii not be selected til
the meeting Of the National Conven-
tion. Mr., Heath has too much imasina-
tion.

Today we write i9o4-that is II we
don't forget. We are beginning a new
year. and It ought to be with a clean
slate. 1t suggests something brighter
and happier; it opens up possibilities
ana encourages good resolutions.
In the course Of year Of toll and
anxiety all have made hiunders. and
our chief concern is that we should
have the honesty and capacity to ac-

does not consist in erleving over short
comlngs. but in setting our faces to-
wards the future with noblo purposes
in our hearts. For wo cannot wipe out
that which is done; we can only over
balance It in the scale by that which
Is good and wholesome.
He who enters into the new year ex-
pectlng to avoid mistakes will soon be
undeceived. The man who nevor
makes a mistake never makes a sue
cess. and the man who can't acknowl-
edge It is not fit to be trusted. In bus

the thrashing out OF Ideas ana the con-
stant rebuilding from old materials.
This old world Is governed by ideals
ana this is a good day to form them.
Let the world laugh at your Now

girding up our loins and starting anew
that we make any progress. The man

but God pity the man who 40 longer
has the power to form resolutions.
