Unnatural Parents.

T won't have my nice ball dresses ruined by a baby and I am not going to have it" These are practically the words of, but the sentiment is little weaker, if any thing, than the exact ones spoken by pretty Mrs when the nurse went to put her new born babe beside the mother And the pretty, dainty little woman who dressed so sweetly and looked so innocent when out in public, looked the fiery, little demon, with the hate of her own flesh and blood showing from those disappointed eyes. This was all about four months ago and the poor child deserted and neglected by its un- natural parents, Is taken in by strangers, though poor, who are doing the best they can for 1t.

DAWN OF EoUABLE TAXATION.

- ITY COUNCIL. at last realizes the neces-
- sity Of raising more revenue for the muni-
cipality without further increase Of the tax on
real estate Council judging from its action last
evening does not propose to advance the tax
rate if such a step can be prevented 1t is wise,
therefore that Council should look into the tax
that is being paid by public service corporations.
AN that is asked is that this form of property
shall contribute in accordance with its value, just
as the owners OF the small and medium size
dwellings are compelled to do We do not men
ton the larger buildings because it is notorious
that many of the greater structures in the city
are not assessed at anything like their real value
In considering this subject, the taxation Of the
public service corporations and a uniform method
Of fixing assessments so that large and small
buildings shall pay in accordance to their value,
we have in mind only the fundamental theories
Of justiceli 1ts is violation OF these basic doc
tdnes of justice that causes much if not most of
the unfairness misery and exploitation in this
world
Taxation is levied upon wealth and the ability
to pay. This being true, it should be arranged
that all wealth pay in an equitable proportion.
Many economic writer's hold that wealth should
be increasingly taxed in what is called progress
i've manner. That is, the richer a man is the
more in proportion he should pay. But in actual
practice the reverse of this is true, is demon
strated by the higher tax that is paid proportion
ately on the smaller properties as compared with
the larger ones. 1t may be necessary to point
out some of these elementary principles of tax
alton, founded upon accepted doctrines of Justice
in order to show that n any consideration of
these questions there is no attack upon thrift no
assault upon wealth or no demagogic appeals to
prejudice or to passion.

keenan, Wednesday. The act is identical
with the one favored by President Roosevelt and
enacted by the last Congress, and is intended to
protect and give to railroad employees the right of
recovery for injuries or death occasioned them
while in the course of their employment The
measure provides that contrbutory negligence Of
fellow servant shall not bar a recovery and that
all questions OF negligence and contrbutory neg
gence shall be submitted to the jury. Thus by
the enactment of this just and fair measure, en-
ployes who are injured may recover damages for
such injuries even where they have been caused
by the negligence of a fellow employe and thus
what is known as the fellow servant doctrine"
is, as it should be, removed as a defense upon
which non-suits are so frequently granted. Rep
resentative Keenan, certainly deserves the praise
Of every railroad man in the State of Delaware,
for submitting this most excellent and just meas
ure to the Legislature The same law is in force
in great many if not a majority of the States,
and has already, through the recommendation of
the President, been made one of the Federal stat
utes The railroads will, of course, oppose this
measure and the vote on it will indicate the num-
Der of men who consider their allegiance and
servility to the interests of the railroad corpora
tions greater than to the rights and lives of the
thousands Of men engaged in railroad work in
this State.

THEIR MILLIONS 10 DO GOOD.

FOR the cause of general education John ID.
4 Rockefeller has come up handsomely with
a cool thirty-two millions This vast sum he
has given to the General Educational Board that
was practically founded by him few years ago
to aid the struggling institutions Of learning
throughout the South. Since then its scope has
been widened The gift of the oil magnate is
probably the largest ever made by any single in
dividual Mr.. Carnegie will have TO look to his
aurels.
Lombroso, the Italian, declares that million
aires in their gifts like to outdo each other and
that is what prompts them The people will not
object if the millionaires run race to see which
one can give away the largest sum. Mr.. Rookie
feller will not be permitted 10 monopoze the Civ
ing business. 1t is, however, munihcent and
wonderful gift to a good and urgent cause The
tendency is to spend more money for educa-
tional purposes. Our higher institutions of
learning are reaping the benefits. Mr., Carnegie
provided a pension fund for the played out pro-
fessors whose salaries, meagre as they often are
never permitted them to accumulate compet-
ency Now Mr.. Rockefeller devotes a huge
amount to general educational purposes. Both
sof these men, who did not themselves possess the
educational advantages Of the ordinary youth Of
to-day realize the importance and the satisfaction
OF learning There should be a lesson in this
for the young who often are too prone 70 quit
school at an early age. These rich captains Of
industry are spending millions to aid education
which frequently is not so eagerly sought as it
should be by those who wish TO get along in
the world
