WARDS FOR DELAWAREANS.
New York Society Likely to Discontinue
Placing Children Here.

RI. Neill, agent of the Chlldren's
Aid Society of New York, is again WIS.,
iting this state to look after the many
children the society has settled IN
homes of our citizens. He stated that
the Delaware homes were undoubtedly
the very best in which to place the
children, as far as homes were con-
cerned. Asked why the society had
sent so few children here during the
past twelve months, Mr.. Neil handed
us the following letter, which he has
recently sent to a number ofappllcants
for children. The letter explains itself:
New York, Jan. 10, 1905.
Dear Sir: We received some time
ago your application for a boy. We
regret we cannot at present encour-
age you to expect one from us. The
fact is we are awaiting developments
before deciding whether to continue
or discontinue our work in Delaware
and Maryland This is owing to the
indifference in regard to schooling
shown by some people in these states,
with whom children have been placed.
In New York and in the best no such
indifference exists, and therefore
many children are being diverted from
your state. The future welfare of the
children We place in homes is a first
consideration, and if they fail to get

will it be possible for them to elevate
themselves? What chance would ex.

had been scrimped as is to-day the

hats are smaller. Toques and turbans
of violets, hyaclnths, rose leaves or

The Presidents message accompanying
the Santo DOMINICAN protocol it is under
stood has made uery favorable impress
sion upon the Senate and it will doubt
less be well received by the country at
large. The idea that the Monroe Doc
trine imposes other duties upon the
United States than those Of mere defense
from aggression as relating to the petty
republics Of this hemisphere is SO patent
and so just that it need only be mention
ed to be approved. 1t is expected that
the Senate will confirm the protocol if
not at this session then at the called ses-
sion Immediately after the Fourth If
March. The tension betNse. the Senate
and the President, it is thought has been
very much exaggerated As has been
said OF the President he does not wear
his heart on his sleeve but he wears his
mind on his sleeve. Anybody can know
what he thinks about anything. In fact
the only way they can avoid knowing it
is to keep out of earshot. His words in
his letter to Senator Cullon when he sent
the treaty to the Senate were: 1.-The Sen
ate has of course the right to reject or to
amend in any way it sees fit and treaty
laid before it and it is clearly the duty Of
the Senate to take any step which in the
exercise of it best judgment it deems to
be for the interest of the nation" Those
words will stand forever as refutation
of the assertion that the President at
tempted to usurp the treaty making
power.

There are several things that point to
an improvement in the Consular service
of the United States. There has been
some improvement during the last three
years but much greater improvement is
needed. The foreign commerce Of the
country which has made such great
strides since 1900 is capable of a much
greater development and it is realized
that educated consuls speaking the lam
guage of the countries to which they are
accredited are indispensable accessories
to the promotion OF trade In this parti-
cular we have been outclassed by Eng
land and Germany whose consuls and
commercial agents were men Of parts, of
fine address and good manners, speaking
readily the language of the Country.
Representative Douglass Of New York has
introduced bill to create Commission
er of Consuls and to re-organize the Con-
sular service of the United States. By
the terms of the bill the Commissioner is
te serve under the Secretary Of State and
is to report yearly to Congress. 1t also
provides for the complete reorganization
of the Consular service. The President
who has lived much abroad and. WHO
speaks French and German and possibly
Dutch is much interested in having
American Consuls as fully accomplished
as those of any other country.
~
The Panama canal bill has been
another casus belli between the House
and the Senate. The Senate majestically
ignored the fact that Mr.. Mann of the
House had presented bill which was
passed and had gone to the Senate. The
latter body ordered the preparation of a
bill of its own on the same subject by
Senator Kittredge. Many members of
the House are offended at this usurpation
of the Senate for here again the right of
origination OF bill involving revenue,
constitutional right belonging to the
House is ignored by the Senate. The
bill as passed by the House places the
Government of the Canal zone in the
president until March the Fourth 1907,
or the end OF the next Congress, providing
that the government shall protect the
inhabitants in their liberties, property
and religion. 1t abolishes the old COM
mission and leaves the work of construct
ion and the appointment OF the managers
entirely in the hands Of the President
It does not undertake TO say whether
there shall be lock lef or sea level
canal. This too it is pr4 sumed, is left for
the DECISION of the Administration.
