LITTLE CHANCE FOR DEMOCRATS.

XTERY strange indeed would it be if some one
did not already howl corruption in the
registration OF voters. The usual stories OF cor
ruriion and the put up OF large funds for reg
istration purposes are beginning to soar through
the air We do not believe them. There is no
evidence that money on the first two days OF the
registration was corruptly employed for the pur-
ros Of qualifying voters. We do not think that
any large sums will be expended this year for
that object And we do not see why party man
ayers should be called upon to qualify those vot-
ers who refuse TO pay their own registration fees
1t has been frequently and loudly asserted that
the Democrats would have majority in the state
ii there were no corrupt use of money at the polls
during an election We doubt this assertion. We
believe that Delaware is in the ranks of the Re
publican party to stay, that is provided the party
managers follow the paths Of political wisdom.
The Republican majority has been large and in
creasing and it would take great deal of work
on the part of the Democrats 20 overcome the
lead Of the Republicans. If the Democrats could
not win Delaware while the Republican party
was torn into desperately fighting factions, what
hope have they against united party? But, even
had the Democrats the votes and were their
chances of winning bright at the coming election
there are certain reasons why victory will not
crown their efforts Their party leaders already
are holding meetings and making a pretense of
getting together. This is merely on the surface
Underneath, all is discord and dissension and eal-
ousy in the Democratic party of Delaware. Their
leaders know it as we'll as any one else If the
party really had a chance of winning the fac
tonal fighting would break out in the most bitter
for years held undisputed sway in Democratic
circles OF the state have not relaxed for an in
stant their opposition to the Democratic State
chairman. They consider him unfriedly to their
interests. 1t will be recalled that the Railroad
Democrats bitterly opposed and successfully too,
the nomination of Mr.. Holland for governor by
the party They feared young Mr. Holland the
son of the candidate, for the nomination because
young Holland had refused one OF their passes
to the National Convention The father of no
man who refused pass should be permitted to be
nominated for governor was the logic OF the rail-
road Democrats. The present Democratic State
Chairman is an open and avowed opponent Of
railroad domination OF Delaware He is an agrees
sive fighter and with his elevation to a real posi-
ton of political prominence he would have a
vote that would be received with shudder in
railroad circles. Hence, war will be made upon
him in tie next campaign as it was in the past.
The blighting hand Of railroad influence will
palsy the Democratic party this year as it has
done heretofore.

cooIIes for canal Work.

Editor The Evening Journal
The United States government in
stead Of making contracts for Chinese
to work on the Panama Canal, should
have employed East Indamen. The
coolies Of that country are far superior
10 the Chinese I'm every respect They
are better workmen, stronger, more de-
pendable and equally, If not more
peaceful.
The problem Of labor on the island
Of jamaica has been solved by the
United Fruit Company in the employ
ment of thousands Of coolies and the
plan has proven a good one. Collies
are tireless workers and give excelle-t
service. They are employed on a con-
tract system which is beneficial to both
employer and employe, and under the
guidance of white men they develop
wonderfully
They show a keen appreciation Of
their opportunity and learn rapidly, ad-
iusting themselves to the conditions
that surround them, and many of them.
after serving their contracts. become
citizens.
On the other hand. the Chinese are
clannish. They are not cleanly. They
have a great aversion to anything per-
tlning TO America, and they look on
every white man with more or less dis
trust. Under these circumstances It is
very likely that the experiment of cm-
ploying Chinese will fan fiat and a
big expense incurred from which there
Will be no appreciable return.

SHIFT THE TAX BURDEN.

M ANY very wealthy men who occupy high
4 positions in their communities do not re-
gard evasion of taxes as conscience troubler
Daniel b. Wcsson, the rich revolver manufac-
turer in Springfield Mass, who died recently, left
an estate estimated at almost thirty millions. Yet
according to the assessed valuations he was worth
about one million, and on this sum he paid taxes
Much Of his wealth under the present laws, was
most likely not liable to taxation, 1t should be
remembered, however, that when some forms
OF wealth escape taxation the necessary funds to
run the government must be secured from other
objects. Real estate pays most heavily and the
burden eventually comes upon the poorer people.
Few indeed of the huge aggregations OF wealth
that pay just taxes. And yet who should more
checriully contribute to the support of govern
ment under which they fully contribute TO the
support OF government under which they have
amassed their fortunes, than the holders of great
wealth?

ABATING THE SMOKE NUISANCE.

A n experiment in abating the smoke nuisance
4 has just been successfully tried in Bati-
more, and the residents are delighted. Clouds Of
smoke from the Hotel Belvidere had become
grievous nuisance to the neighbors and clamor
was started to see if something could not be done
to lessen the bad effects.
Like most other people .he hotel management
was slow to move for the reform unless it would
be directly to its own interests People seldom
reform or inconvenience themselves merely to
please their neighbors. But finally it was urged
that it would be profitable for the company to
eradicate the nuisance. Then the management
became energetic.
An apparatus was secured, by means of which
the clouds Of black smoke that had oyershadowed
the hotel were waited into insignifcance 1t is
stated that sufficient was saved by means of the
apparatus during the first month it was in opera
ton to pay for itself In this instance it was
demonstrated that those who object to the nui-
sance of smoke not theorists who should be
tossed aside by so-called practical" persons who
say that smoke in all its intensity, is one of the
necessary products Of our busy manufacturing

In some ways the automobile reveals the darker

through city's streets and the reckless, putting
in peril the lives of those who are compelled to
walk are acme of selhshness and hoggishness

there been this doubling-up process in
prosperity under Republican admins

their crops and the money they have
received in exchange. The farm value
