PANAMA CANAL SUPPLIES.

IT HOSE journals which jumped to
4 the conclusion that the President
had backed down in the matter Of pur-
chases OF supplies for the Panama Ca
nal will be undecelved when they
learn that among the first Of the moves
in the direction of securing supplies
win be the chartering Of two English
ships.
No enormous quantity OF supplies Of
a general nature win be required until
the meeting Of Congress. and that
body viii again have the opportunity
Of directing the commission. In the
meantime. the President and the com
missioners win use their best judg-
ment. and win continue to do so should
Congress fail to put itself on record.
We have an idea that this agitation
VIII result in most OF the supplies be-
ing bought at home and at the lowest
price Of the foreign market

STATE PRINTING CONTRACTS.

THE new State Board of Supplies
\ is now ready TO award its first
'ot OF contracts. principally for print
ing the Senate and House Journals and
The reports Of the several state on
GERS. We Judge from the bids in hand
that the state will be saved consider
ible money. but we are inclined Ia
think that there viii be some hesitation
in awarding the contracts.
For instance. one small Office. the
Union Republican. of Georgetown. ia
The lowest bidder for the House Jour
nal. the Auditors Report. the Registra-
tion and Election Laws, Report of the
Horticultural Society. the Report Of the
Agricultural Society and the List Of
Official Appointments. We do not
wish to seem to discredit the capacity
Of any bidder, but it would seem that
so much work would crowd a small
office.
Another thing we notice about these
bids the vast difference between some
IF the smaller Offices and the larger
concerns which do high-grade print
ing and, presumably know how to fig
ure on such work.
We note the maximum and mimi
mum bids for the several contracts:
Senate Journal. $500; SAYS. House
Journal $3.50; 1916 Laws of Della
ware. s119s5o; s7e4. Auditors Report.
s7i7; sssi.5o. The bids on the other
-eports vary in about the same proper
lion.
Without disparagement Of anyone.
We cannot fail to notice that the high
bids are from the city Offices that are
thoroughly equipped with type, ma
chimes. the best presses, and which
have expert workmen. Either their
DDS are unreasonably high or the
mailer Offices have offered to do the
work at prices which make good
workmanship impossible.

AeRE IS lie oTHgR SIDE.

A ccoRDING to reports that ap-
\ pear to be authentic two young
white men on Thursday committed an
unnamable atrocity on two colored
girls in the broad daytime within two
miles Of the town Of Milford. The
condition of one Of the girls Caged 16)
has been very serious. as reported by
the attendant physician.
From the details which have come
to us, It appears that there should be
no difficulty in identifying the white
brutes. and we expect the officers Of
the law to do their duty. For our laws
are not framed merely for one race;
II they do not apply with the same
force to both races they are sham
and a disgrace.
onenseless and defenseless little
girls, white or colored, are entitled to
full protection. and an outrage such
as this cannot be overlooked or hush
ed up.
The white people very justly have
complained at the great number Of
dangerous negroes who are prowlng
around the country-a menace to the
women Of the rural sections. To be
perfectly fair and impartial, here is a
case wnere the thugs are white men
and the victims little defenseless col
ored girls. II we are to expect our
colored people to obey our laws if we
are to visit swift punishment on them
for disobedence, then we must make
clear to them that they in turn win be
protected.
This is not a little thing; it is a
matter Of the gravest importance.

VERDICT FOR FOULK
AGAINST RAILWAY Co
Case Occupied Nearly the
Entire Week in Superior
Court

After being out for about three
hours a jury in Superior Court yes
terday afternoon returned a verdict
for S434 and with costs in favor of
Spencer II. Foulk against the Whining
ton City Railway Company.
The plaintiff was represented by
Horace C. Knowles ana Walter IL.
Hayes and II. II. Ward were counsel
for the railway company. The case
was started last Monday and was
stubbornly fought by counsel on both
sides all week.
Foulke sued to recover Sf97 because
one of his funeral cabs was damaged
by a car Of the railway company at
Fourth and Tatnall streets. The cab
was in a funeral procession and Mr..
Knowles contended for Foulke that the
car should have stopped instead of
trying to pass through the line Of
cabs.
Before the verdict was returned
Constables Buckley and Bowers laid
AN attachment against any amount
that should be returned TO Mr.. Foulke.
The attachments were secured by per-
sons having claims against Mr.. Foulke-

EDITORIAL OPINION
Surprising Humor.

From the Washington Post.
Perhaps the last source from which
one might reasonably expect to derive
amusement is a Pennsylvania Demo-
cratic convention. The record and
position Of that organization. both
positively and relatively have for To-.
these many years, been precisely anti
podal to a situation that would inspire
or even permit. q single scintillation Of
wit, or provoke the slightest indulgence
In mirth. Common charity has COM
PEELED the American public to spare
the unhappy party the rebukes its
faults and follies have merited. and a
thoughtful citizen would be as likely
to laugh at a funeral procession as to
get merry over that dreary organi-
zaton Of unfortunates. That the
organization itself in convention as
sembled, would perpetrate a joke was
no more to be expected than an up
rOarious cachinnation or a ribald Jest
from the lips OF McGinty, "at TIE bot
tom Of the sea In his best Sunday
suit"
But that seemingly Impossible thing
has occurred. A bit of delicious
humor a fne-grained and altogether
excellent satire on itself-a feat rarely
attempted-was perpetrated by the
Pennsylvania Democratic organization
in its platform adopted the other day.
Referring to the latest OF many scan
dals I'm the government Of the metro
polls OF their Commonwealth, they
arose to the altitude OF the great oc-
casion. and, without batting an eye or
working of a smile. declared. "There
is no hope for Philadelphia except in
the union of good citizens with the
Democratic organization to overthrow
her machine government"
That, from the party whose leaders
IN the great city have long been the
tools or partners Of the Republican
ringsters and some Of whose members
IN the State Legislature have been
equally subservient to the Republican
machine-that from such a source IS
not simply scintillant--it is splendidly
cOruscant.

NEsoeAroFF A CRAVEN
surrendering Of Russian Ships a "con-
temptible Spectacle"

surrendering Of Russian Ships "con-
temptible Spectacle"
London, June S.-The Toxic cores
pendent of the Daily Telegraph again
today sends interesting additional de-
tails of the naval battle, received from
Moii, Sasebo and other points.
1t is stated that when Rear Admiral
Nebogatoff surrendered the Russians
hoisted red flags on their topmasts,
with Russian flags below them. The
crews were drawn mp in parade order
on the decks and some of the sailors
were waving white flags. The whole
affair, the dispatch says, was con
temptible spectacle"
The correspondent of the paper who
witnessed the battle says that toward
sunset, when the fighting was most
fierce, there were some sickening sights
beyond human power of description.
The correspondent goes on to say:
ut is understood that Admiral Ne
bogatof. who is grateful for the kind
treatment given him by order of the
mikado, will be allowed to proceed
home within a few days. His surrender
was disgraceful and unaccountable. An
examination of his ships shows that,
though the guns we're rusty and the
bottoms of the vessels covered with
seaweed, there was no lack OF lghting
resources. There were heaps of ammu-
milton and no trace of damage by the
Japanese Shells"

Maritime Provinces.
Toxic, June 3.-It is planned to
bring the battleship Orel to Yokosuka,
where the emperor will visit her.
With the destruction of Russia's
naval power, interest is returning to

"Togo's victory may drive Russia
away from the Pacific coast of Asia.

maritime provinces and her offensive
capability is unlimited Nothing bars
the way except the Russian force at

TAE BOARD oF AeRIcuLruRs.

AT oTwITHsrANDING the insinua-
~ tions OF the Dover State News
nothing that is IN the least damaging
has come to light regarding the state
Board Of Agriculture. There is the vague
charge that this official body has been
engaged in the real estate business. and
probably has. That is a part Of its du-
ties.
But IN the absence OF evidence show
ing that the members have sought TO
profit personally. we think It is very good
work to be engaged in. There are sec
tions IN Delaware where large farms are
the rule. and with the nature Of present.
day farming great deal Of land is
either not under cultivation or Is only
hair cultivated
Without question the farm lands OF
lower Delaware would support at least
twice the population which they now sup
port; and there are always farms for sale
that without purchasers would go un-
TILED
And besides, the settlers from other
States that have come to Delaware bring
ing new methods and the energy that
usually accompanies people who seek new
fields. have given an impetus to agricul-
ture and helped to make it profitable.
IT is no disparagement OF our native
Delaware farmers 10 say that in every
section there are men who have helped
to revoluiionize old methods ana have
made small fortunes. who have come
from New York or New England.
For our Board Of Agriculture 10 cali

offers 10 farmers is not only proper but
commendabIe. We take for granted that
there Is no favoritism in recommending
customers to agents. Is thercs The
