YESTERDAYS HARMoNY CONVENTION

IT iE Republicans OF Delaware to be con-
u graduated upon the outcome Of the con-
ention held at Dover yesterday The results
we're even better than expected. Common sense,
eason and party loyalty were conspicuous in all
he deliberations. There were many difficulties
encountered, but by the patient and careful hand
ing Of them by the leaders under the splendid
Erection Of T. Coleman DUPONT every obstacle
vas surmounted
The ticket nominated is very strong one and
cannot fail to command not only the full vote Of
The party but will draw to it great number
of independent voters. Congressman Burton
has made an excellent record and it was largely
upon that that he was renominated. State
Treasurer Rawns has made one of the best and
has been one of the most painstaSng State
Treasurers our State has ever had Thomas I.
Roe the new man on the ticket candidate for
State Auditor stands high in the esteem OF his
fellow Citizens of Kent county, and has the abil-
ty to make an excellent State officer.
The platform adopted was strong and vigor-
Gus and touched many Of those vital matters in
which the people Of Delaware are deeply con-
cerned. Among other things it took very de-
cided stand on the anti-bribery matter What It
said on that subject was short and to the point
and leaves no doubt as to the position OF the
Republican party that matter
1t is very gratifying that there was complete
absence Of sand-bagging tactics and that every
leader or individual of the party, regardless Of
past actions, treated with every consdera-
ton. 1t was harmonious convention, and there
is no reason cause for any element or ndivid-
ual in the party feeling other than satisfied with
its work.
It was a great day for the Republican party OF
Delaware, and the result in this and future cam
paigns is bound to show it.

MORE JUNKErING

THE city has money to burn now This is
= evident from the fact that the Street and
Sewer Department has just appointed delegate
to attend the Municipal Convention to be held
this month in Alabama. We may not be thor
oughly conversant with the doings Of conven-
tions of this nature, but we venture the asser-
ton that very little benefit has been derived by
cities in general, and by our own city in particu-
lar, from them. We know of no Improvement
made in this city within the last fifteen years that
is traceabe to the fact that some city official hap
pened to go on junketng trip TO some far
away convention, and which could not have been
made as easily had the official remained at home
and attended to his duties
OF course we are not so blind as to be unable
to see wherein lies the popularity of these con
ventions They serve as an. excuse for pleasure
outings for office holders and their families,
while the tax payers stay at home and pay the
fiddler They are pleasurable because they are
held in different parts of the country, and thus
afford our globe-trotters chance to visit the
North. East, West and South; and little is the
wonder that many times the delegates return
more impressed with the beauties Of Pixies Peak,
Garden of the Gods, a Niagara, or Natural
Bridge than they are with the deliberations they
are supposed to have listened to-
Another feature of these trips pleasing to
those selected to make them, is that they cost
nothing. When the city foots the bill, you could
hardly expect the average individual to lose the
opportunity Of sightseeing. But mark the diff
ference II the delegates had to pay their own
expenses, In that event, you wouldn't hear S.
much about the necessity for municipal conven.
tons and the advantages to be derived from
them they would then soon become a thing Of
khe past.

The use Of the new mileage books is.

asked regarding this. said;
THE mileage is taken out according 70
the official distance as computed and re-
ported to the Passenger Department by
thee hief engineer. The measured distance
from New York TO Plttsburg is 4i2 .
miles. II has always been the custom to
collect for fractions Of a mile as an en-
tire mile which makes the distance AZ
miles. and this is the actual amount Of
mileage which is lifted for each pas
senger. in the case Of trains which run
through New York and Pittsburg by way
OF the Mantua Subway. and do not enter
Broad street station. conductors are in
structed 20 lift five miles less. thus maxi
ing the short line distance ass miles. This
Is full accord with the general policy Of
the company to collect the actual amount
OF mileage as it is officially computed on
the lines over which passenger trains are
operated.
