EUROPEANS TO LAND
ON CAPE MAY SHORES
THENCE BY RAIL TO PHILADELPHIA
A Description of a Big Enterprise
Already Commenced Just Below
Wildwood. Means Much
to Cape May County.

1t has been generally understood
hat large undertakings are under way
at Cape May, but The spe' ial account
published in The American of Monday
of the work in pr, gress here, with "A
brief description of rc,nt improve
ments completed, indicate that the
Cape city is entertaining hopes of be-
coming a sea I"rt for commerce as well
as a fashionable seaside resort. The
Maryland Dredging Company is en-
gaeed i'm a vast schrme of excavation,
and from the extensive engineering
operations two highly important
results are to lie accomplished. There
is Ia be made IA deep and safe harbor
Of 800 acres in area and the eXcavated
sand will be used to raise four square
miles OF marsh lands 20 that they will
be suitable far building imposes. Thus,
in one compr, hensive effort, the
famous ocean res TT will vastly extend
the possibilities for growth and develop
ment.
The suggestion that 1.-The time will
prof ably come when passengers from
Europe " i'll be landed here and whirl-
ed hy fast trains to Philadelphia"
gives hint of the great expectations
hat are being cherished. Cape May,
if hopes materialize, may become a
Liverpool or Portsmouth to Philadel-
phia, shortening the water route by an
overland trip. A great land-locked
harbor at the entrance to the Della
are Bay will undoubtedly be a marine
a, acquisition of great importance. The
breAkwater at Lewes has not been as
completely effectual in providing a
safe refuge Tor storm-stressed vessels
as was hoped for when the govern
ment began the important task of form
ing a harbor at.that point. An addi-
tional harbor OH the northern shore,
bordering the entrance to the bay,
even if it did not offer a safer refuge,
would supply an additi nal retreat for
the multitude of shi $ engaged in the
Atlantic C asting trade.
The preliminary surveys which have
been made by the United States gov
ernment at Cape May do not, ofcourse,
afford conclusive assurance that the
government will eventually determine
upon a deep water land-locked harbor,
at that point. There seems to e fair
reason 10 anticipate, however, that
national Endorsement of the harbor
scheme may be obtained. Both New
York and Philadelphia would regard
such a harbor as affording additional
protection to their commerce, and, in
fact, every harbor along the coast is an
added feature to the commerce ofevery
city having an outlet to the Atlantic.
There is no stretch of coast, from
Maine to Florida, off which there have
not been sea tragedies. The costal
waters of the United States are strewn
with wrecks of ships which might
have been saved if they had had access
to a harbor of refuge.-From Baltimore

Platt's Monstrous Bill.

On Senator Platt's recent bill to
reduce representation on denial of SUI
frage the Memphis Commercial Appeal
after two columns of editorial concludes
thus:
If the republican party should pass
the Plat bill, it would commit a gross
violation of the constitution. There is
nothing to show th:.t it would have any
conscientious scrupIes against such po-
litical vandalism and the Commercial
Appeal has no hopes of restraining 1t
But We have shown beyond peradyen'
ture, that there is Lot a single law in the
south that disfranchises a negro because
of his color, and consequently none OF
these laws comes in conflict with the
constitution Of the United States and not
coming in conflict with the constitution,
congress cannot legally ard constitu-
tionally cut down our representation. Ii
the contemplated wrong is perpetrated
it will recoil upon the head-of the re-
publican party.

Organization of Teachers.

State Superintendent of Educa-
tlon Henry l.. Whitfield has adj
dressed a communication to the
county superintendent on the ques-
ton of the organization of the
teachers into county organizations,
along the lines suggested at the
meeting of December 10. The COM
m~unlcation is in part as follows:
To those who have been actively en-
gagged for the last several years in the
agitation for better schools, it is evil
dent that nothing has so hampered
the movement as the lack Of proper
organization of the teachers Of the
State. The teachers are the ones set
aside and devoted to the work of dis
semlnating school information. The
farmer is giving his mind to farming;
the physician is practicing medicine;
the lawyer is practicing law. 1t is
absurd to eve think that a system OF
schools a be developed beyond those
whose business it is to mold public
sentiment along school lines and to
practically organize the schools. The
schools OF Mississippi cannot be any
better than the teachers of the State
are qualified to make them. A cam
paiSn of education may be made in
/1-2 State, and the people Of the State
may unanimously be willing to vote
every cent needed to sustain a splen-
did system Of schools, yet if the teach
Crs Of the State are not prepared to
organize this enthusiasm and means
into a system OF practical work, or fail
20 do so, then the results of the cam
paign are lost. There is a work that
a be done by the teachers only, and
if this work is not done, we cannot
hope to have schools.
This work in general consists OF
two things, %, education Of public
sentiment on school questions, and
GU, the work Of practical organization.
To do this work successfully it is
necessary that there be an OrganiZa-
ton of the teachers Of the State. Ours
is q State system, and our Organiza-
ton must be State wide. To accom-
plish our purposes it is necessary that
we be able to throw the force OF our
weight at the same time to the ac-
complishment of definite ends.
When the teachers of the State are
INFORMED on 0II prdCllCdl ana pIOleS-
sional questions of school, and are
properly organized for work, the fight
for better schools in Mississippi will
be won. No class Of people ever had
a greater responsibility on them than
the teachers of the State at this time.
Never was public sentiment so ready
to be nodded. | but voice the unani-
NOUS sentiment of every representa-
tive teacher in the State when | say
that cur weakest link in the chain OF
our educational system today is the
teacher. Never before has there been
such a demand for better teachers.
From almost every county in the State
during the last summer and fall have
come requests for more competent
teachers. Shall We meet this respon'
Sibility? Now is our great opportunity.
Shall we take advantage Of it?

SECRETARY SHAW'S STAND
Head of the Treasury Has Constituted
Himself Champion of Bour-
bon Protectionists.

-
From every statement we have seen
coming from the reputed leaders of the
republican party it is plain that the re-
publicans find themselves hOpelessly en-
tangled in the tariff net, and it will be a
matter Of surprise to those observers Of
the present situation if the leaders are
able to set together and pull the party
out of it's difficulties on the subject dur
ing the next four years, says the Indian
apolis Sentinel.
Secretary Shaw. who is said to have
presidential ambitions, has constituted
himself the champion CT the bourbon
protectionists. In an interview the sec
rotary declared that there is 70 POSSIBLE
ity that congress will consent to a re-
duction of protective duties and urged
that instead of deycting itself to a re-
vision of the tariff the republican ma
jority should content itself with provid-
ing for rebates of duties on raw materials
that are used in manufactures for eX-
port. Where articles are imported to
be used in manufactures and the manu-
featured goods are exported, the sec
rotary would have the government re-
fund the duties paid on ray material.
The Dingley act provides for rebates
of duties on certain raw materials used
in manufactures for the foreign trade,
but it offers no relief to the American
1t is not altogether plain
why congress should legislate to give
the foreigner cheap goods and compel
the American consumer to pay monop-
oily prices.
There is little to be hoped for in the
way Of a reduction of the tariff from the
republican party of to-day. The "revi-
sionists'' on one side and the "standpat-
ters" on the other, are at the beck and
call" of the trusts and combines.
1t is singular how the election
improved Secretary Shaw's mental Wis
ion. He can now plainly see a treasury
deficit where there was no sign of one
before the votes were counted.-Mont-
gomery Advertiser.
THE republican papers are now
asking for a revision of the tariff by it's
friends. But that is something republic
cans cannot accomplish. The republican
party does not own its OWN vote on the
tariff uuestion.-MemphiS News.
Fortunately, Mr.. Roosevelt will be
go busy with other things that there
will DO little time to swing the big stick.
