WILL SOON CRAWL TO DOVER.

THE Lea-Ford water snake is still winding
its Shiny form around the helpless tax
payers of our city 1t is said the interested par
ties will meet and tie the hands and feet of the
people as tight as possible by signing an IRON
clad agreement made at that famous secret ses-
sion of the Water Department In little while
the snake will crawl to Jsover, where it will make
its headquarters in the Governors Office The
snake Will have a powerful lobby and lie chances
are that the bill will be passed by the Legislature,
lust as Governor Lea and President Ford wish.
The taxpayers will be saddled with an additional
burden Of $1,000 year for twenty years=4Sfoo,-
600 interest and the principal OF the debt, $780,
ooo-in all S36o,oool What do the taxpayers get
in return? A soon-to-be-abandoned -four mill,
a narrow strip Of ground through which runs
mill race, certain water rights of doubtful value,
all Of which would probably not bring. at public
sale over $4,000. The property IS not paying
now, or the Lea Milling Company would not
want to sell it. Not paying-perhaps' losing
money for its owner-the problem then presented
itself How can it be unloaded at T. high figure
upon the taxpayers OF WilmingtonI
What agreement or understanding lhere was
prior to that secret session we have no means OF
knowing With the people in total ignorance
that such a matter was even under consideration
the deal was put through at that secret meeting
of the board It is now up to the Legislature,
and whether that body will take orders on such
matter from the Governor and Peter ]. remains
to be seen.

HIoH PRIcEs-Low WAGES.

THE Every Evening, organ OF the capitalist
Il against labor, OF the employer against em-
ploye, yesterday made a strained effort to con-
vince the workingmen that it is because of the
tariff that the cost of living is high and wages
are low Such argument might we'll be expected
from such a paper The purpose and policy OF
that capitaiistic organ is to protect the wealthy
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and deceive the poor en-
ploye. 1t is to the interest of the owner Of that
paper and his class that workingmen be kept un-
organized, and be made to believe that the tariff
or King Edwards big toe is the cause of rent,
food and clothing being high and wages low.
Anything but the truth
Wages are low in this city because, in the first
place. the greedy manufacturers are not willing
to share their enormous profits with their em-
ployes and, second because labor is not properly
organized so as to demand that fair and consider
ate treatment itgdcserpes The cost OF living is
high because the manufacturer is selling the pro-
duct OF labor at high price. The employers
profits are -euernous compared with what they
were five years ago. Manufactured products,
such as the textile goods made by the Bancroft
Mills, have increased from 20 TO 100 per cent in
few years. Have the wages of the men, women
and children who make the goods increased in
the same proportion9 No. In most cases they
are kept on the same wage scale of several years
ago, before the high tide Of prosperity and the
great increase in prices What the worSingman
is not getting the employer gets Where labor
is organized it has been able to force the manu-
acturcr-employer to distribute among those who
alone produced wealth--thc laborer-the pro-
ducts OF their toll.
BY not organizing and demanding their rights
in these prosperous times the workingmen Of
Wilmington are indeed losing their opportunity
to get proper return for their work. If he is
given square deal the workingman should pros
per with the employer, and high prices for the
products Of his labor should result in proportion
ate high wages That proposition is so simple
that child can understand it.
The tariff deals with the production Of wealth.,
and has nothing whatever to do with its distri-
button. The latter is a matter dependent upon
the honesty of the manulacturer-employer, or the
power through organization of labor to demand
its just reward--a fair distribution of the wealth
labor produces.

BONE IN ST. PETERS.

a MOTHER Anarchist outrage has shocked
a the world This time bomb was es-
ploded in the great Cathedral OF St Peters, at
Rome the largest and most gorgeous Christian
temple in the world. Just who the anarchist was
attempting to assassnate is not clear, but reports
that the Pope has been warned by the outlaws
would indicate that there is a deep laid rset
against his life To the ordinary mind the is
sassin of such an exalted parsonage as the head
OF a great church would seem the height of folly
and unreason, but it is not so to the militant
enemies Of the present social order. The an
archist aims to strike down tyrants and the op-
pressors on the one hand, and then to assassinate
those against whom they have no personal griev-
ance, merely to cause terror throughout the
world They are at war with society, and there
fore they attempt violence on representatives of
society
From the latest outrage in Italy it is evident
that the anarchists are as powerful as they have
ever been. The most violent OF them have been
produced by two Latin countries-Spain and
Italy. and in Russia These three nations have
been the hotbed of anarchy Of the revolutionary
type. The northern countries have been COM
paratively free from them Social unrest in Ger
many and Belgium and in France has found vent
in the Socialist parties, and in England in the
Labor and Radical parties. Society has utterly
failed to suppress the anarchists, and despite pre-
sautonsry police measures and the activities of

BIG COLLEGE NOT IN THE GAME.

TOLUMBIA UNIVERSITY has no football
- record to which it could point with pride"
Years and years ago, when the present football
stars were todders, Columbia was the tail OF
the league of the big four. Then the sport was
dropped at the university. After long lapse
again it was taken up. Columbia, however, did
not reach the front rank. So the faculty crushed
the game at the New York institution, much to
the displeasure OF the student body, for like all
students the ones at Columbia were lovers OF
sport The rules were revised and the game
made better, but President Butler is still op-
posed TO it. He attended a match and heard
~sone-on shout at the players "Kill him, ham
mer him, roast him." The utterance of these
words thoroughly alarmed President Butler
shocked hiusn fact, and he concludes that it IS
a very bad sport.
We agree with him on his evidence. But we
think If President Buffers students are such
young ruffians that they urge their fellows to
maui their opponents it speaks very badly for
Columbia and President Buffers methods OF
conducting university College students are
supposed to learn something of department and
conduct as we'll as to be crammed with book
knowledge and the Columbia president had bet
ter look after that branch of the education of
several thousands of youths who are entrusted
to his care and keeping

SAYS lie STOLE TO
CLOTHE CHILDREN
Joseph SCbiIIing, Father Of
Family Of Fourteen Pleads
Guilty to Larceny

Charged with the larceny Of a guam
tity Of cloth. the property Of the JOS
eph Bancroft & Sons Company and to
which charge he pleaded guilty at yes
terday afternoon session Of County
Court, Joseph schilling was commit
ted to the County workhouse for a
term of one year, iashes being omitted.
From surface indications Schilling's
case is a pathetic one. For eighteen
years he was trusted employe Of the
Diamond State Steel Company and
prior to his, arrest worked for year
at Banerofts'. He is the father Of four
teen children, twelve Of whom are en-
tirely dependent and his wife is again
about to become a mother. After the
commission Of the theft. which covered
a period Of several months, Schilling
quit the employ Of the company but
was later arrested. He was admitted
to bail but forfeited It by disappearing
before his trial, which was set for last
term of court. He was apprehended
]
! and brought here for trial
David ]. Reinhardt. representing the
prisoner entered a plea Of not guilty
when his client was arraigned, but be-
fore n jury was drawn Mr. Reinhardt
withdrew his plea and entered one OF
guilty. asking mercy from the court
Chief Black testified that so far as the
police department was concerned
! Schilling had a good record.
The prisoner upon being called in
his own defense admitted taking the
goods but said that he had made nc
attempt TO dispose of them. He had
q large family and in reply to a ques-
tion stated that he had stolen the goods
in order that he might provide clothing
for his children.
Attorney General Richards stated
that he had ascertained that the facts
as set forth concerning Schilling were
true. but that his arrest was the re.
suit Of a long series of thefts that hat
been committed at Bancrofts by soml
one. although he did not mean to imply
that the prisoner was connected will
them. All the goods stolen he stated
were not odds and ends, but severa
table cloths were in the lot taken.
Case Was Dropped
John Marshall. colored. was charge,
with acting improperly toward Adj
Brown, also colored, aged 13 years
The case had proceeded but a shor
time, however when Deputy Attorney
General Daniel o. Hastings entered

lat the close of the case when tn

Editorial Opinion
The Single Ballot.
New York Press.

New York Press.
According 70 the testimony Of the
Massachusetts officials the ballot used
in that State cannot be objected TO
on the ground that it requires a col
lege education In order TO cast a valid
vote. Experience there reveals the
fact that the percentage Of votes to
population has not only increased gen.
orally. but has increased most IN the
districts peopled largely By the for
eign -born. Manufacturing districts
show higher increases than the rural
neighborhoods.
This evidence win be submitted to
the New York Legislature, and 1t
ought to dispose OF thepretext that the
adoption OF the Massachusetts, ballot
here Will disfranchise a large part Of
the population. 1t shows that the true
Australian ballot. which is the Massa-
chusetts model. Is the simplest form
Of voting. The argument in favor Of
compelling the voter to express his
preference specifically for every can
didate he wants to vote for cannot
be successfully combated. The objec-
tion to it which has so far prevented
its general adoption is that It is too
good. It takes the choice Of candi-
dates too much out Of hand of party
organization-which usually means a
Boss or a small band Of men-and puts
IL too much in the hands of the voters
In connection with direct primaries IL
robs the Boss Of much of his inhu-
ence upon the selection Of public off,
cials by enforcing upon parties the
choice OF candidates who can stand the
test Of the polls separately upon their
own merits.
