The anxiety concerning the removal
of the superintendent's offices to Will.
mington is becoming more manifest as
the first of March approaches. The
year for which most of the properties
are rented will expire at that time and
owing to the uncertainty of the situa-
ton the Railroad men will only rent
by the month. Consequently all
available properties for rent under
these terms are being sought. Ever
since the early fall those who will be
effected by the change have been in a
state of suspense but just what the
Company intends doing in the matter
has not been announced. The pre-.
sumption is that the Offices will be
moved to Wilmington shortly.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Comp
any who last spring built coal shute
in the "Yard" at this point, an
apparatus which saves much time aud
expense IN coaling engines, has now
found it expedient to introduce an
lash shute" the first thing of its kind
ever installed on the Delaware Divi-
sion. For the past two weeks a force
of workmen have been busy working
on the apparatus which when completed
will save much time and expense. By
the arrangement the ashes are dumped
from the engine into pit and from
there are carried by means of an ele-
vator arrangement to cars on the sid
ing. The system works automatically
and does away with the large force of
men which originally shoveled the
ashes.

A call is made elsewhere in this
issue for the Democratic primaries
which will be held Friday evening.
The convention, for the purpose of
placing in the field ticket to be
voted at the municipal election,
will be held on the following even
ing. Good Democrats, or merely,

should attend both. There is a
splendid chance of achieving a
victory next month if the party
will display the proper interest in
selecting good ticket. Let us
not get discouraged because the
opposition predicts for us a COM
plete slaughtering. There comes
time in the history of politics
when the people desire change of
administrations and, perhaps, that
time is now.

The school board is generally
commended by the citizens for the
stand it has taken in discharging a
teacher whom it considered in
competent to perform the duties
involved upon her. In our iudg-
ment they did the proper thing
and we congratulate the board for
standing by the position it took
when the matter first came to its
attention, of determining to dis
pense with the services of one
whose qualifications were not up
to the requirements necessary to
give the satisfaction desired. We
don't know what the outcome of the
appeal which the teacher in ques-
ton has taken to the county super
intendent will be, neither do we
care, but we will be frank in say
ing this, that we think the board
has acted in the best interests of
the school and think it should be
upheld in its actions. The educa-
tion of children is too important
matter for school board to neg
lect its duty in a case of this kind.

The death of Thomas Edward

The death of Thomas Edward
McKenna, which occurred in Den

to the journalistic profession in
Colorado. McKenna's distinguish

Here is the manner in which the
Kansas City Journal sizes up the
country editor:
"He must be man OF infinite
tact and discretion, to avoid giving
offense by ill-timed truth and yet
to sift the good wheat from the
chatf. He hears more secrets than
the confessor, concerning which
he must be as dumb as an oyster
and as charitable as st. Peter. He
must hold the balance true between
all the diverse and conflicting in
terests which strive for aggrandize-
ment in every community. and
keep his own hands as spotless as
the ermine of n judge. He must
consider everybody else first and
himself last, and above all he must
be an optimist and boom his COM
munity in season and out of sea-
son, in spite of the world, the flesh
and the Knockers. If any man can
show better title to earthly hon
ors and a reward in the hereafter
than "a mere country editor, let
him produce his credentials.
