UNCERTAIN

The TRANSCRIPT is in a way
to get a case of swelled head.
Two of the metropolitan papers,
the Journal and Every Eoening
endorse the position Of THE
TRANSCRIPT, on different items
in the same week. We hardly
know whether to be pleased or
displeased. 1t has been such a
long time since either one of
them found anything to COM
mend in our views, that we have
rather gone along on the idea
that we could only do right by
opposing both Of them. They
are usually on the wrong side of
a question, that is from our stand
point We suppose, however,
that we will have to believe that
for once they are able to see the
right; if they have not changed
their minds since This was writ
ten.

IN MRMoRIAM

In sad but loving remembrance OF my
dear uncle John w. Appleton, who de-
parted this life January 30th, 1904.
Another form is sleeping,
Beneath the peaceful sod,
Another soul is resting
In the bosom of God,
Another loved on enamed,
Among the peaceful dead,
Come, We blessed of my father
To another hath been said.
Another freed from sorrow
Another freed from care,
Another left this world of sin
To dwell forever there.
In the mansions OF the blest
Where streets are paved with gold.
And the walls are like jasper
And joys are all untold.
Shed no sad tears of sorrow
Heaye no low, mournful sigh
Look beyond the cold dark grave,
Beyond the deep, blue sky.
For he has crossed the river
Has passed the golden gates
Has laid aside the earth robe,
And with the Saviour waits.
He has left this world of pain
With Jesus ave to dwell
He's left us sad and lonely,
But Jesus doeth all things well.
Good ones hs's waiting for you
Standing OH the golden shore
When like he. you cross the river,
You'll meet to part no more.
His niece,
ETHEL.

WANTS GRANGE IN SCHOOLS

Thomas 0. Cooper. member Of the Gen
eral Assembly from Wilmington, is in
favor of a radical change in the curricu-
lum of the Delaware schools. Representa-
tive Cooper has made consistent study of
educational matters, both as a member OF
the Wilmington Board of Education and
of the House Committee on Education in
the recent Legislature. He takes the
ground that pupils who enter the higher
grades of the schools of to-day are entitled
by all means to less of the ancient Ian
guages and more of substantial business
course that would fit them for keeping a
set of books and transacting ordinary mat
ters of business with intelligence and sue
cess. He contends that it is waste of
time and money to force Greek and Latin
upon those who have no idea of adopting
or entering professional career.

new pOSTMASTERS


The President during the past
month appointed four new post
masters in Delaware. The ap-
pointments are, correctly we be-
lieye, cretited to Senator Alice.
There has been some kicking in
certain quarters about some of
them. The first named was the
appointment for this town to the
vacancy created by death. For
this, the son of the deceased was
named, and it seem to satisfy
everybody here. For the towns
of Clayton and Delaware City.
the retiring postmasters were re-
appointed. These men were or
iginally named by ex Senator
Ball, and gave satisfaction at the
time of their original appoint
ment. No charges had been
made against them, they had
made good officials, their pay was
only a fair compensation for the
work required, and there was no
great reason why change should
be made. Nor is there much
fault found with them ; nor, on
the other hand, is Senator Alice
given credit for them. But for,
the City of Wilmington, he de-
cided that change was best.
That was liis.opinion, and as the
naming of the incumbent was a
matter for which he should be
held responsible, he certainly
had a right to his option. We
are not authorized to speak for
the Senator, nor have we had
any communication, direct or in
direct with him for many
months. He has alwa, been op.
posed by TIE TRANSCRIPT in all
matters pertaining to factional
matters. But we believe in fight
ing fair. Mr.. Heald made good
postmaster, and all things being
equal should have been reap
pointed. Mr.. Conrad is in every
way qualified to acceptably fill
the position. He has wide ac-
quaintance with the business
and needs of Wilmington, and
his ability as a business man, as
well as lawyer is unquestioned.
While not wanting in any way to
detract from the importance of
the position, there is no question
that the same kind of work is not
required of a postmaster of Will
mington, as is required in a
country town. There the handl- |
ing of the mail, the issuing Of |
money orders, in fact, all the de
tails of the Office are managed by
clerks trained for the special
work. The postmaster is merely
the executive head, or manager.
For this Mr.. Conrad is well fitted.
We do not think that it would
have been proper, as the EUe1.,ng
Journal intimates was done, for
the Republicans of New Castle
County to have taken part in the
fight before the appointment was
made, as it was purely city Of
fce, and city influences should
have governed, and we would
not now have mentioned the mat
ter but for the mis- statements
and false representations that
nave been made for partisan pur-
poses. If we had to make the
appointment, we should probably
lone different. But the respon-
sibility was on Senator Alice, and
We are willing.to credit him with
loing what he thought was best
.or the party.
