worst political crime ever committed in this
State
His action in this matter will show the kind Of
man he is II will show his conception Of right
and wrong. Of honesty and dishonesty, of fraud
and fair dealing For him to hold on to the office
under such circumstances makes him the receiver
and retainer Of stolen goods, knowing them TO
be such. For the money Of the office, which
honestly belongs to another will he sacrifice his
remaining honor? Is it that Winfield S. Quigley
is really that kind of a man? Will he try TO
stand up in this community burdened with such
political crime? Can he expect to longer asso-
ciate with honorable men, persist in sitting as an
officer in a court Of law and justice demanding
the poor fellows in the dock to stand up and hold
up their right hand and then read to them the
indictment or tell them Of the crime OF which
they are charged, asking them ARE you guilty
or not guilty." What must be the thoughts OF
those wretched fellows in the dock when Quig-
ley is reading TO them the indictment? Looking
at and listening to him, what opinion must they
form Of law and justice? What must be Quig-
ley's thoughts? Can he endure the shame OF ii
Can he look without soul torturing feeling Of
overpowering shame and disgrace into the faces
of the honorable judges, whose clerk he is the
man who was robbed of his office, the scores OF
Brandywine hundred men who swear they voted
against him, and whose votes were counted in
his favor, the poor fellows who were induced to
commit that crime in his behalf and served
term Of Jail? Can he do all this merely for the
sake OF the crime-covered money he expects to
make out OF the office? If he can--if he will
then let us thank heaven that there is only one OF
his kind in our midst

DEPENDING THE LEA-FoRD DEAL.

W PUBLISH to-day report OF Chief
w Engineer Leisen, of the Water Depart
ment, read and adopted at the boai4 meeting
yesterday, which seeks to justify the secret deal
made by the Water Commissioners and the Lea
Milling Company by which the taxpayers of our
city are to be made to pay 100000 principal and
probably 100000 of interest, total of$3oo'ooo
for a property which, valued on the bisis
OF its present earning capacity is probably
worth less than $4,000, and which, accord
ing to the valuation of Engineer Leisen, who
for obvious reasons, estimates the value Of the
property as high as possible, is worth $175ooo
plus the value of the old buildings OF course
the Water Commissioners will justify thei- ac-
ton, il possible Tor them to do so. They are
deeply interested in putting that deal through
If they were not, and there is not something
about it the public is not supposeu to know, why
was thesschehne kept so quiet and the agreement
nadeNat a secret meeting of the board without
any notice whatever to the puDnc! The interest
OF the taxpayers has been thrown aside, and the
|. commissioners and the chief engineer are now
on the side OF the Lea Milling Company The
deal was made under conditions that must arouse
suspicion. The taxpayers were not told of the
project Of buying the property or the price pro-
posed to be pail They were not asked to ex-
press their views on the natter nor had they an
opportunity to voice their protests. They were
not aware that the busy bee was anywhere
near them The FIRST they knew of it IS that they
were stung. Mr. Leisen and the Water Commits
sioners could as well justify the purchase of ten
hippopotomi at $1,000 each, to be put in the
Brandywine to eat the weeds, grass and algae
as they can the purchase of the Lea property for
100000, and winch in the end will cost the tax
payers over $36oooo The deal is an outrageous
one, and should be held up in the Legislature
but Governor Lea is expected to attend to that
part Of it.

Another matter taken up was the spit

gA1LRoAD IGNORES OUR CITY.

OUR attention has just been called to the fact
~ that excursion tickets sold in. New York
for Washington and in Washington for New York
are not good to stop off at Wilmington, although
such tickets provide a stop-of privilege for
Philadelphia and Baltimore. A few days ago
New Yorker went to Washington. Being con-
nected with a large manufacturing establishment
in New York that is contemplating erecting
factory somewhere between New York and
Washington he decided to stop off at Whining
ton on his return trip, for the purpose of seeing
something of the city He was told by the con-
ductor that his ticket was not good to stop off
at Wilmington, whereupon he examined the
ticket and found that the privilege was ex-
tended only 70 Philadelphia and Baltimore. This
fact made quite unfavorable impression upon
him, although it did not prevent his stopping off
here and paying an additional fare to Philadel-
phia from which point his original ticket was
good for the rest of his trip. We suggest that
this matter be taken up by our Board OF Trade,
with the view that proper efforts may be made
to secure for Wilmington the same stop-off privi-
leges on Washington and New York tickets that
are accorded to Philadelphia and Baltimore.

Editor The Evening Journal.
According to statistics there are more
than a million and aquarter Of railroad
employees IN the United States, repre-
senting. with their families and those
dependent upon them. total Of not
less than four million persons. A large
percentage Of this section Of our popu-
iation are directly affected by the raise
IN wages which has been announced by
the officials OF the Pennsylvania and
Reading railroads. This increase is not
only OF interest in itself, but It sug-
gests the question OF whether a SINH
lar policy viii be followed by other
railroads and big corporations. Amc-i-
can railroads have prospered immense
ly In the past feN years. big dividends
have been declared. business facilities
increased and It is quite right that the
wages OF the men along the line be in
creased.
The greatest diniculty now expert
enced by the railroads is to get enough
cars TO haul the freight. Nowhere can
an idle freight car be found. Under
these conditions It is not to be won-
dered at that employees should have
asked Tor greater snare IN the pros
perity Of the concerns for which they
worked. This demand was later des-
cribed as tending TO spread. although
there have been no signs so far nj
trouble between the railroad men and
the officials. 1t is hoped that there will
be no conflict at the present time as it
would bring disaster to public inter
ests. The great wheat crop OF the
West has just begun to move. while
the business Of transporting meats and
manufactured goods cannot be inter-
rupted without a serious loss. It is
hoped that all railroads will give their
employees a part benefit in the present
prosperity which Is being enjoyed by
the entire country.

Pension Increase.

Vouchers covering the amount Of
Confederate pensions to be distribut-
ed in the various counties we're mailed
out from the Auditors Department TO
the chancery clerks to be properly
certified, when they will be returned
and the money shipped to the eoun-
ty treasurer to cover the amount due
each pensioner. There are 7,840 pen
sioners, an increase Of 57S over last
year. The largest number is the pro-
rate class, who receive $2S.40 each, a
slight reduction under last year, being
lue to the increase in the number Of
1eneficiaries. The total amount is
R249,649.SO, which strains the appro-
oriation Of $250,OOO very closely. This
distribution establishes the record of
being the earliest ever made, notwith-
standing that some of the lists were
delayed in reaching the Auditors s
office.

81 900. 600 Embezzlement.

New York-The assignment Of j. NJ.
Ceballos & Co., bankers and merchants
with liabilities between $3,000,000 and
$4,000,000, has been announced. The
statement declares that the failure
was due to the defalcation and ab-
sconding of Manuel Silveria, of Sill
veria & Co. Havana agents for the
New York company. Silveria's S defal-
cation is alleged to amount to 1000
600. He sailed from Havana October
2, Os5ensibly to consult here with the
members of J. NJ. Ceballos & Co., but
has not reached this city. Counsel
for the assignee said today that Sill
veria has left Oh his own steamer, the
Carmelina, for parts unknown, ac-
companied by his wife and children,
and that every effort was being made
to locate him. The members of the
firm of J. NJ. Ceballos & Co., are J.
NJ Ceballos, ]. A. Fisk and Alexan-
der Anderson.
The assignee is William E. Rowe,
an attorney. Mr.. Rowe said that the
assets of the firm are Of a substantial
character, but from hasty examina-
ton it was manifest that they would
require careful Investigating. 1t was
stated unof1icially that there is ground
to hope that the assets will be suffi-
cient to cover the losses, and that the
firm may be enabled to resume busi-
ness

Fugitive Cuban Banker.

HAVANA rumor has been in cir
culation ever since the departure from
Havana Of Manuel Silveria, the fugi-
tive Cuban banker, that he financed.
the late revolution, but Silveira's as
sistants and others likely to know
the facts in the case, do not believe
the report. Silveira, they say, was
extraordinarily frightened by the in
surgents' anonymous threats, but
those to whom he showed such let
ters say that all referred to revenge
fulness as the result of the killing Of
General Quentin Bunderas, the negro
who was slain by rural guards August
%, at the Silveira farm, near Punta
Bravo, Is miles from Havana. No
body appears to have financed the
revolution with the exception Of a
very few leaders like General Guas,
who sepnt their money for ammuni-
tiOn.

Woman Burned to a Crisp.

Fort Worth, Tex.-A special to the
Record from Muskogee, l. T., says:
A disastrous fire swept the little
town Of Checotah, twenty miles south
of Muskogee, last night and Mrs.
Strother, a milliner, was burned to
crisp in her home. The loss in dollars
is not estimated at this time, but it
is heavy.
The fire broke out last night about
midnight. It's origin is not known.
There is little fire protection in Che
cotah, and before the fire could be
checked it had burned a dozen small
frame buildings.
Mrs. Strother was milliner and
lived in the rooms over her store.
When the fire broke out she was awak-
ened. She hurriedly got her three
children down the stairway to safety
and telling them she would be back in
4 minute, she remounted the stairway
and disappeared in her bedroom. That
was the last seen Of her.

Russian Wheat Report.

That the acreage and production
Of wheat in Russia have grown rapid
ly and persistently, and that further
growth may be expected; that natu-
raj conditions all favor such extension
of cereal production there and that
economic conditions favor the further
growth of wheat at the expense of
rye and other crops, is the general con
clusion reached in report of the
Department of Agriculture on Russian
wheat E~oduction. The report, how
ever, points out the extremely low av-
erage yield, probably on the whole
the very lowest in the world, espe-
cially so if the results of peasant ag-
rtculture are considered; and the fire.
quent failures of crops often leading
to famines accompanied with great
suffering for the people and great dis
turbances Of the grain market.
The causes of the backwardness of
Russian agriculture says the report,
were found in the system in land ow-
nership, on one hand, and the an
tiquated methods of agriculture dua
to the poverty and ignorance of the
people on the other.
