Loss on oTTo coMpANY.

a S WE imagined, an insolent, impudent and
n discourteous city official has great deal to
do with the determination Of the Otto Gas Engine
Company not to locate its works in this city.
This official was particularly ignorant one.
else he would not have insinuated that concern
like the Otto Works would come to any city "as
pauper"
The loss Of this industry is about as provoking
a thing as has happened in Wilmington industrial
life in many a day. First came the msunder-
standing with the gas trust already here Then
the gas trust brought all the pressure 1t could TO
keep the company from securing franchise to
make gas The astounding grip that the gas
trust had on many Of our leading citizens was
shown during that fight And at the same time
the unprogressiveness of many persons was iul'y
displayed
Fortunately however the gas trust blunder
was overlooked. The Otto Company purchased
land and was presumably preparing to erect IT'S
works Then there was an application ior
trivial matter about the streets, and this ignorant
and impudent city official made an insulting re-
mark that evidently reached the ears OF the-ot
6cials of the company.
THE JOURNAL at the time denounced this
unwise official. The gas works people concluded
that Wilmington did not want the new industry.
Apoogists for the present gas trust, those who
enjoy paying their bills for the gas and wind.
pumped through their pipes. VII say that the
Otto people never intended to locate here, but
they have no proof for such an assertion.
We think the Board Of Trade and the Mercan-
tile Association should see if there is not SONG
way by which this industry could be secured.
We certainly had it within our grasp and it Slip
ped through fingers.
The company should be informed that the peo-
pie of Wilmington would welcome them and
that the entire city should not be judged by the
gas combine and one incompetent city official.

of San Francisco If the big companies were
mutual ones there would be no objection to the
advanced rate when the company would meet
with heavy loss.
The increased rate charged by the trust we
may rest assured viii more than make up for the
damage the insurance companies sustained to
their financial resources by the San Francisco
conhagration.
No doubt our local merchants and business
men will encourage the movement said to be on
foot to organize another mutual company in the
State. The high rates of the trust will drive
them to it if the present mutual companies can
not carry the business that is offered them
The insurance compact seems to be the most
perfect form of trust devsable. 1t is just as
though there was one large company doing bus
mess There might be some way to remedy the
evil that comes out Of such close insurance
compact.

HIGH INSURANCE RATES.

II HE fire insurance trust is squeezing up
4 prices on its patrons in this city we'll as
elsewhere And the business men and property
owners are rightly objecting to the advance on
the ground that it is unreasonable.
Wilmington is better equipped for fighting
fires than it has ever been. There are more COM
p4aies than ever, which are constantly improving
'hei. apparatus. Their efficiency is Of high
oTaer In fact. everything about the city fire de-
Par'ment would lead one to believe that the rates
should not be aixanced
AS we understand there has been double i'm
crease IN the rates. The first was general adj
vance due to alleged general causes. On top of
TINS came the heavy losses sustained by the com
panies in the San Francisco disaster. This was
given as reason Tor an additional advance. The
companies of course, lost heavily bv the San
Francisco calamity. That is their business. If
hre insurance company had no losses there
would be no use for them to engage in business.
It was supposed that surpluses and emergency
funds were created to meet just such losses as
that incurred by the big fires
Inc hre insurance trust, however. view. the
matter in different light Their surplus are

DIFFEREnr CORPORATIONS.

TNEFENDERs OF all corporations, good or
1-B bad trv to hide behind legitimate corpora
tions in the endeavor to break the criticism that
is falling upon The evil ores which embrace the
trusts and those public service monopohes that
thrive by unjust advantages they take OF the peo-
pie
Consider. Tor instance, our big ship yards ana
ou- manufacturing plants. No one hears OF thehl
irving to avoid their fair and reasonable share OF
the county or city taxes, OF their meddhng with
political affairs in an endeavor to boss the Legs
Iatnre SO that they can secure special privileges
or 81 nominating candidates Of their own so that
they can be controlled at the General Assembly.
Thcv do not nlcddic in any plot to make ma
chine city charter that would prevent eompeu-
ton or give them unfair advantages in the tax
alton system. That is beyond their province
The hue and CRY is not against the stockholders
of these corporations We wish We had more OF
them. The backbone OF a citys prosperity de-
pends upon them.
But the criticism OF corporations is nearly al
wavs against those Of tho public service kind.
The gas company for years, as is known TO every
citizen who keeps informed Of affairs has tried
10 rule the city. Ii wants TO sustain its monopoly
NN l1at n can CNditC what liiN~9 N'' 80 'e''~J
and the people will have no redress. 1t is watch
ing like hawk any movement towards a new
city charter because il wants the charter 50 made
that it shall not be interiered with. 1t enjoys
public franchise, has permission to use the streets
Of the city and the city gets practically nothing
in return.
The street railway companies are in the same
class They have violated the law Of the city
in not keeping the pavements in proper repair,
they have continually fought any attempt to place
taxable value on their property that would be
near the value that they themselves put upon it.
All that the people want Of the railroad company
is that it shall pay taxation just like and in the
same proportion that the owner of real estate is
compelled to pay.
How foolish, then, is any effort to make it ap-
pear that criticism OF these corporations is an at
tack upon any individuals who own stock in a
business company or enterprise. The chief mu-
nicipal problem is how to deal with public service
corporations and what share of taxes they shall
pay Reconsideration of the franchises that they
enjoy. There Is no assault upon legitimate bus
mess, and of course there never will be.

"PARlSh PRIEST''

AZ the Grand opera House last night
the jefferson Dramatic Company pre-
sented the beautiful moral drama '"rhe
l'afist Priest" the proceeds being Tor the
Wcccacoe Fire Company. The house was
crowded from orchestra to gallery and
that the audience appreciated the efforts
OF the participants in the cast was evinc-
cd by the frequent bursts OF applause.
All the actors and actresses wore local
people. Several OF them had appeared on
the boards before, having been members
Of The weil-known ST. Pauls Choir and
Dramatic Asociation, and their expert
cncc last night was nothing new to them.
This. Of course. precluded any possibility
OF stage fright

NEW FOOTBALL RULES.

VAT HII.E there is some adverse Comment ,fhe
w new football rules seem to have improved
the game considerably, and as the season wears
on they are likely to become more acceptable even
to the critics Those who are disposed to con-
denim the new rules are principally representa-
tives of a few Of the larger colleges that IN the
early season have been unable to pile UP large
scores against supposedly weak opponents. The
University Of Pennsylvania team has made poor
showing against both the Gettysburg and Uni
versity of North Carolina elevens, and some OF
the friends OF Penn are disposed to blame their
Indifferent work upon the new rules. The
changes in the regulations, however, make for a
different style Of football that will be decidedly
more interesting to the onookers. There is
much more kicking finer open work and alto
gether better spectacular playing. And in addi-
ton the new rules promise to make the sport less
dangerous.
