GOOD RESULT ACCOMPLISHED.

T n the arrest of Edith Grant by the police and
\ the fine and costs imposed upon her. accom-
panied by an imperative order from Deputy
Judge Joslyn that she must close her disrepu-
table house Immediately, in the Municipal Court
Saturday morning, is indeed distinct victory for
law and order and decency. The result, which
cannot be otherwise than gratifying to all people
who are jealous of the fair name of our city, JUS
tihes the crusade the Journal has been making
upon these evil resorts. Public opinion is against
these miserable places, and we had no patience
with the ready excuses of insufficient evidence"
after the principal one of these women had CON
fessed in Court as to the character of place she
running. When evidence against such a
place is wanted, it is easy enough to secure, as
has been. proven, and when the owners, backers
or proprietresses are made to understand that
they will not be protected and will not be toer-
ated they will not tarry long and defy the law.
We congratulate the people of Wilmington that
an earnest effort is being made to cleanse our
city OF these fostering dens, and if the police de-
partment ready as it is to do its duty, will CON
tnue to have the cooperation and support of the
Municipal Court and its prosecuting officer, the
condition, such as we have complained about and
brought to the attention OF the public, will not
exist very soon again

WARNING OF DANGER.

THERE is no Iet-up in the complaints being
n sent TO our office about the condition of
the trolley service between Wilmington and
Chester. If only part of what we hear be true,
a great catastrophe that line may be looked
for at any time. The ties upon which the tracks
are laid are very rotten and much that the
spikes, originally driven in them to hold the rails
in place, can be easily pulled out with the fingers.
1t is, we understand, due to this dangerous con-
diton that the rails spread and the cars so fire.
quently get off the track. The cars themselves
dangerous and it is a frequent occurrence to
see them on fire. caused it is said, by worn-out
appliances and imperfect equipment Sunday, it
is reported, the cars were on fire at several points
along the line and once in this city when young
womans clothing came near catching fire. and
which, had it occurred would undoubtedly have
caused the loss of her life The fire was extin-
guished by the aid of fire company. Owing to
the ineXcusable neglect on the part of the COM
pany to have its equipment in proper shape, the
cars are now run practically regardless of sched-
ule time In order to make their trips the mo-
tormen are obliged to take advantage of every
down-grade, allow the car to make as rapid speed
possible, as to gather momentum to help
it up the grade, and this practice will sooner or
later result in one of the heavily loaded cars
jumping the track when at full speed on down
grade, and should it then run into pole or tree,
the loss of life would be simply frghtful. There
should be some power or law to remedy this
dangerous condition. To protect life and limb
the police authorities of the city and State might
be justified in taking steps in the matter The
trolley company will, of course, do nothing
These defects can only be remedied by the ex-
penidture of money, and its owners have no de-
sire to expend even in needed repairs, to make
reasonably safe their line, part of the money
taken from the people that use it. The company
has now full warning of the condition COM
planned OF, and If such an accident happens as
suggested followed by loss of life, not only
should the company be made to stand for heavy
financial compensation, but its directors should
suffer punishment for their criminal neglect.

GIVE IT TO THEM, QUICK.

G ONE time ago, we are informed, a large
~ number of citizens and taxpayers, residing
in the neighborhood of Eighth Street Park, peti-
toned City Council to install pump in that
park. The petition has been practically ignored,
as it was referred to a committee and by it pig
eon-holed This is another instance Of the indif-
ference of our public servants, not only to petit
tons, but to the actual necessities of the people
The only objection that could be offered to such
a request is the expense it would entail, and that
probably would not exceed fifty dollars On the
ground of economy, therefore, the thousands of
people living in that section cannot have the
benefit of the pure water supply such well
would give, yet Council, without a quiver and
only one dissenting vote would pay an incompe-
tent, negligent, unqualified city official three hum
dred dollars for services he not only never did
render. but never could render. Without so much
as an inquiry it pays out a considerable sum of
money to defray costs in cases appealed to the
Superior Court, and which the city should have
won instead of lost. Without scarcely any hesi-
fancy that body will pay over 5000 for a list OF
names which cost less than $500 to write With
out apparent concern, it pays for thousands of
tons OF coal for burning garbage. fed to hogs, and
we might go on ad in6nitum. And yet our CITY
Councilmen cannot sec their way to expend fifty
dollars for the purpose of pure water supply
Tor the thousands of people living in the vicinity
OF Eighth Street Park. 1t makes no difference to
them that filthy and disease laden water is

MAYOR MAKES SERIOUS CHARGE.

VAT f are sure that every citizen Of Whining
w ton read with interest in yesterdays
Journal the interview with Mayor Wilson, in
which he said a number of things that meet with
our hearty approval Among other things he
relates how our city has been swindled and hum
bugged by merger scheme of two lighting cor
porations, one possessed Of valuable property
and under a legal and moral obligation to pay the
city all earnings over and above IL per cent net
profit, and the other company with which the
original gas company merged, had no prop
erty whatever but possessed a franchise OF
great feasibility, and which was secured by men
on the inside at the time it was granted, and who
it was said, cleaned up 100000 out OF 1t. II
what Mayor Wilson says in this regard be true
and it must be admitted that the serious charge
has been street talk for along time,-then the
present company, which by an act intending or
at least resulting in consummate fraud upon
the people Of our city is entitled to little or no
consideration from Mayor Wilson or any one
else. It has acted in bad faith with the people.
Yet. while Mayor Wilson makes the astounding
statement, he breaks the force and effect of his
manly stand by doing that which protects the
present gas company, and deprives the people
Of the only chance or opportunity they have of
bettering the gas situation. The Mayors posi-
ton is exactly what the gas company would have
it be. Little does the company care how much
he censures it, provided he will only kill off any
opposition or competition whenever they raise
their heads
In regard to the charge Mayor Wilson makes
that the gas company has, by an ex parte merger
arrangement defrauded the city out of large
income, it occurs to us that Mayor Wilson can
not stop there AS the official head Of the city,
il appears to us to be his duty to lay this serious
matter before City Council, and by rigid inves-
tgaton, ascertain 70 what extent the interests
of the city have suffered or been ignored. If any
such legal duty rested upon the original gas
company, we fail to see how it can be possible
by merger with another corporation for the
city to be ousted of its rights. This matter is
surely serious enough to be inquired into, and if
it should turn out as the Mayor says, then it
means thousands, yes, hundreds of thousands of
dollars income to the city, and a proportonate
decrease of taxes upon individual property. We
shall await the next step OF our vigilant Mayor
along the line upon which he has so courag-
eously started.

pumped from the Brandywine, and without any
purifying or clarifying process, is delivered for
drinking and domestic purposes into our homes.
Even the probability of lessening sickness and
disease among the thousands of people that
would go for their drinking water to a pump in
the park, has no weight with Council. We have
no hestancy in saying that Council was exceed
ingly negligent in not putting in every park in
our city one or more pumps in order TO give the
people, and particularly the little children, the
benefit of clear, pure and wholesome drinking
water. Such provision would have been Of in
cstmable benefit and satisfaction for several
months past, during all Of which time our city
has been inflicted with the most vile and disgust
ing kind of water We hope that Council will
lose time in pulling out Of that pigeon-hole
the petition above referred to, and take immed-
ate steps TO grant the request

Grass in City Street.

editor The Evening Journal.
Anything green, especially grass, is
supposed to be restful for the eyes, and
everybody loves az some time or an
other to get to the country or some
parts of the suburbs TO enjoy this de-
lightful relaxation from the hard and
uniform appearance of the busy city.
But when grass a foot high is found
thriving along the sidewalks IN the
very heart Of the city it is a reflection
on the authorities or the owners Of the
property on which the grass is grow
ing. At Seventh and Market streets
grass has sprung up and is sthl grow
ing, and ] think somebody should be
made TO remove IT, as 1t gives the city
the appearance of a country town.

Evolution Of Government.
Nowhere is this progress more

Peaceful succession in accord with
the peoples will has replaced the
forcible seizure of power permitted by
the peoples Indifference. Loyalty to-
country, it's peace, dignity and honor
have risen above the partisanship of
individual leaders. The rule of law
supersedes the rule of man. Prop.

prise are secure, individual liberty is
respected, continuous public policies
are followed, and the national faith
is held sacred. This progress has
not been equaled everywhere, but
there has been progress everywhere,
The movement is in the right dire

The present affords just cause for
satisfaction, and the future is bright
with hope. Not by national isolation
have these results been accepted, nor
is progress so to be continued. Mol

continue to live. The growth of each
nation is part of the development OF
the race. There may Be leaders and
there may be laggards, but no nation
can long continue first in the advance
of the general progress of mankind,
and no nation not doomed to extinc.

PREPARING FOR BIG PACK.
The Anderson Canning Company Get
ting Ready for Rush.

The Anderson Canning company Of
this city are anticipating an early to-
mato season this year and state that
with no change in the existing condI-
lions the pack will start early in Aug.
ust. They are getting everything in
readiness in the new corn canning
plant and this will be in operation
about the same time as the tomato
canning is in progress.
Great improvements have been
made in the plant during the past sew
eral months, not the least of which is
the laying of five thousand square
feet of cement floors in the several
buildings. The floor of the tomato
packing room has been made of ce-
ment, insuring absolute cleanliness.
The capacity of the place has been
greatly increased and with tomatoes
enough to run the place the output
will be more than doubled.
A force of men are now employed
at the plant south of the city getting
things in readiness for the packing
season.
