ouR ETHICAL STANDARDS.

At the Unitarian convention in Bos-
ton the Rev. Mr.. Sheldon, OF ST. Louis,
declared that the world is falling away
from its ethical standards and that It
has greatly deteriorated In the last
twenty years He doubts whether
there was ever an age in the worlds
history when we were farther from the
ideals which men approve. yet which
they fail to exemplify.
1t is generally thought that optim-
ism is a sign Of the Unitarian faith, and
we doubt very much whether Mr.. Shell
don's view is shared by his brethren.
The change which he thinks he sees
in twenty years may be due to an ad-
vanced age which sometimes accounts
for pesslmlsm. There, are no means
OF proving or OF disproving his asser-
tion, yet there are certain significant
facts which warrant us in reaching
conclusions.
IL is true that we have wars. but
human life was never held so highly
as now. The rights OF the individual
were never so safeguarded; never were
governments so tender of women. and
our charity has even gone out to our
criminals. There was never so little
suffering, because public aud private
charities cover almost every case OF
sickness and want.
There are charitable institutions In
every city and county, and they are
supported largely by private contribu-
tons. We doubt whether people ever
lived more decently than now. There
are more divorces. It is true, but there
are fewer children who know not theii
paternity
There Is no falling OFF in church mem
bership, and In addition to religious I'M
nuences. there are a hundred mora
agencies that did not exist century
ago. The progress OF the race mus
necessarily be slow. for it involves th'
reformation Of Inherited tendencies
yet it is certainly onward and upward
or our creation was a mistake that ha0
ended IN failure.

party principles to graft, and to wor-
ship success regardless OF the means
by which il is to be secured. There is
much in the leadership Of Roosevelt to
inspire enthusiasm-eve everything in the
fundamental principles of the party.
IT has written splendid chapter in
history. and has lost nothing Of force
and verility.
Suppose. then. 70 the enthusiasm
which flows from such a candidate and
such party we could add that which
arises from clean. able, local leadership
and decent methods--should we not
have a rousing campaign, indeed? Sup
pose we could say truthfully to every
young man who is preparing TO con-
tribute his quota Of energy and en-
thusiasm to the cause: "The Ropuhll-
can campaign in Delaware Is going to
be conducted dccently and properly; we
shall accept the leadership only of
those who are entitled to lead; there
VIII be no bosses. and we shah count
upon worth and merit to whit
would be campaign worthy Of our
best efforts. wouldn't it2
And under such circumstances how
joyfully we should enter the band
wagon throw up our hats and SO
proudly on to victory! There is a
possibility that such conditions may
prevail. The present activity shows
that an party enthusiasts are hoping
Yet there Is still possibility that ere
the campaign closes, men will have
to think OF their Individual integrity
first, and Of success afterwards; that
they will have to stand UP and be
counted either for decency or in
decency for true Republlcanism oil
for piracy Enthusiasm is fine, but II
must not override judgment and con.
science.

what she Farmer Should Learn.

From the Portland Oregonian.
The farmer should learn TO place a
cash value upon his own time and labor
and know where they are expended and
what results they produce. He must
learn to think Of the dairy COW as a
machine for manufacturing clover &C,
into milk--a machine that will do its
best work when kindly treated, shell
tered from storm. and fed a balanced
ration. The small plots Of idle ground
should be made TO produce something
that viii sell In the market or supply

of the orchard, garden, or grain field
should be turned into pork, mutton, or
poultry. while everything that can
serve no better purpose should. If pos
sible. add fertility to the soil. Rota-
tion of crops should make summer fall
lowing unnecessary. and $40 worth OF
apples should not be lost for the want
OF 81 worth Of spray.

suLKAeADs OR DREDGING.

It was happy thought Of Thomas H.
savery which led him to invite the
officers OF the Board Of Trade and
members Of the press on tug boat trip
down the harbor yesterday after the
launching Of the Thomas S. Jesup at
the yards Of the Pusey & Jones Com
pany.
MIR. savery is president Of the ship
building company and holds the same
position in the Board of Trade. This
trip to view the harbor and to esti-
mate its needs. shows that Mr.. savery
is the man for the responsible positions
he holds. 81. 81.
Those who are familiar with the har-
Dor pointed out to the guests the Inn
movements that are becoming impera-
tive. For most OF the distance TO the
Delaware there Is depth Of water
sumcient for all craft which seek en-
trance. but several shoals are perfect
barriers. The iead-line reveals ~
places 2i. 2s and "a feet at low water
but again it shoals down TO 10 and le
feet. The problem, them is to remove
these shoals and to prevent future
nling-in.
There are two remedies proposed;
one is to buikhead the river from our
wharves to It's mouth, thus narrowing
the stream and causing a greater vol
ume OF water to flow within given
channel It is claimed by the advo-
Gates Of this plan that II would prevent
the inflow Of mud from the banks and
that the current OF this narrower chan
mel would scour the bottom, gettinl
rid Of the shoals which have always
formed in certain places.
others are Of the opinion that th'
only plan by which the rhanne can b
maintained at depth Of twenty-on'
feet is by dredging every year. They
point out that one Of the worst shoal
IS that formed at the mouth Of th'
Brandywine. which is composed of IN
sediment brought down by the water
of that stream II is claimed tina
bulkheading would not prevent this.
But whatever plan is adopted
should be Of such a nature as to prom
ise some relief. The government ha
declared against bulkheading steam'
and It will require more pressure thai
we are likely to be able to exert I
have the authorities establish pre-
cedent IN our favor. II it estimate
that 100000 would be required, for III
work. but meanwhile II other measure
are not taken our stream win be prac
tically closed to deep-water craft.
Then whether or not we shall secur
an appropriation in time for bulkhead

II is estimated that by an expenditm
Of from $4,000 TO $4,000 annually

pittance compared with the important
OF the stream.
There is possibility that were
