THE death OF Alexander ]. Cassatt. president
= Of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
removes one of the most notable inanciers and
railroad men Of the country. Mr. Cassatt him
self was living example OF the policy Of this
great corporation, having started at the lowest
round OF the ladder Of railroad fame and climbed
steadily to the top. lie was educated as a civil
engineer at the Troy Institute which has fitted
so many men for technical positions. He entered
the service OF the company as rodman and
ended as the president. In the example of Mr..
Cassatt other ambitious young men may find
lesson The careers of most OF the officials Of
this great company have been along the lines OF
Mr.. Cassatt Under the management OF the late
president The Pennsylvania system made much
progress. until it is to-day the leading railroad OF
the country
Especially viii Mr.. Cassatt be thought Of in
Delaware because Of bis connection with the
Philadelphia and Norfolk road, which opened tho
large fields Of Virginia to quick transportation ia
cities to the city markets Likewise the big i'm
provements that have been made in this city. the
building Of the new station and the elevated svs
tenn here being tribute to Mr.. Cassatt's man
agement which will long be remembered in Della
ware.

scARcITY OF PLENTY No DIFFERENCE

ID RESIDENT OLER, OF the American Ice
Company understands perfectly the theory
OF trust tactics. lie is a good exponent of the
viewpoint Of the modern trust magnate. Mr..
Olcr was asked the other day if a cold winter and
an abundant yield of ice would result in the
lowering OF that necessity next summer He
promptly replied that he could make no such
promise, and that large yield Of ice would not
mean OF itself lower prices Last summer the cry
went up that ice would be high in price because
OF shortage Of the crop Mr.. Olcr dsmisses
that delusion and tells us practically that the
price OF ice will be just what the ice trust pro-
poses to make it. The abundance OF a commodity
IN trust parlance and methods has nothing to do
with its price. Very often the trusts seek by fair
means or by foul to lessen the production OF the
commodity so that prices can be raised And in
this is the basic evil Of the trust 1t is conceiv.
able and practical that with trusts properly con
Quoted abundance OF articles could be produced
and prices lowered. Trust organs like the Kew
York Sun always made that contention. But IN
practice it does not hold good. The trusts do not
favor and work for plentiful supply of every
thing, and that is where they harm the con-
sumers, who arc the people

THE BEST PLAN FOR THE PARTY.

A S TIE opening OF the Legislature draws

the next senator is to come from one Of the two
lower counties the one question now is whether
those two counties, Kent and Sussex will be per

The leaders OF the party in this county, and we
might say the State, favor allowing Kent and

A call has been issued by the county chairmcn
of the two lower counties for a meeting of the
Republican members Of the Legislature OF those
counties for next Monday. The object or pur-
pose Of the meeting is not stated in the call, but
it is understood 10 be TO consider and decide upon
plan OF organization OF the Legislature the fol-
lowing day. There will probably be an effort
made TO get some expression from the members

choosing that senator which will be accredited to

sole representative of those counties On its face,
il does not seem like fair proposition for this
county TO insist upon naming the senator Tor
Kent and Sussex, or to throw their votes with
the minority OF those two counties and thereby
override the will Of the majority. Should an OK
pressivc majority OF the members at their meet
ing next Monday or later ON, decide that the
selection OF the next senator should be left TO
them, we do not see how the members from this
county can oppose il. and for them to do so
would in all probability engcndcr feeling in the
two lower counties, the effects of which would be
most unpleasant to New Castle and which might
require many years TO overcome. This matter
should be looked at not from the point OF view
OF the personal interests of any particular man.
but as a policy which in its effect will bring the
best results to the party.

MARRIAGE A suRrR1sE no ALL.

school and Wise home was on North
18th street are the bride and groom
in a wedding that took place Sunday
night and came as a great surprise to
the many friends of the young peo-
pie.
The associates in business of the
groom got an intimation that he was
contemplating venture in matri-
mony couple of months ago when a
fine kitchen range came by freight
several months before the time it
was ordered to be shipped. 1t was
stored in the basement of the store
and since that time the boys have
been trying to learn the date of the
wedding, all the while keeping an eye
on the range in the cellar. About a
week ago the range suddenly disap-
peared one night and since that time
the firm has been receiving bills-by
mistake of course-for all sorts of
peculiar articles of housekeeping
which were intended for only one
member of the firm. The boys have
been thinking the time was drawing
close but were so confident that they
knew about 1t in time to partake in
the celebration that they were greatly
surprised this morning when the
groom appeared unusually late. an
nounced his marriage, by Father Con
way at the parsonage last night.
The newly married couple have
commenced housekeeping at their
new home at $40 Rood avenue where
they will be at home to their friends
