IN MAKING the committees Of the House,
= Speaker Hodgson deserves to be commend
ed for having selected Representative keenan,
for chairman Of the Committee on Private Cor
poratons. In this matter Speaker Hodgson evil
dences a disposition to be governed by the will
OF the people. He was doubtless aware OF the
issue upon which Mr.. keenan, was elected, and
that the public service corporations did every
thing in their power to bring about his defeat
The people, however, believing the time has ar
rived to check the power, greed and insolence o.
corporations, voted against the corporation candi-
date and threw their full support to Mr. Keenan,.
For having thus recognized the Representative
from the district in which the corporation is
sue was raised and fought out, Speaker Hodgson
is governed by the wishes of the people in the
largest representative district in our State In
other respects the selection was most excellent
one. Mr.. keenan, is very conscientious man,
possessing much ability as legislator and we
predict that in the performance of his duties at
Dover ne will satisfy both his constituents and
reflect credit on his party and State

An Unjust statement.

Editor The Evening Journal.
I noticed in your paper on or about
the 18th Of last month an article on be-
half Of Mr.. Vaughn, city lineman.
and he seems to entertain an idea from
the sense Of the article that he Is being
imposed upon by union linemen,
which is false, because the fire alarm
boxes do not register property when
they are tested or tripped Off for a fire.
lie evidently imagines that some union
lineman has interfered in some man.
ner with the system, but this is not
true. and / think that he should ex-
ercise better Judgment before he at
tempts to blame his own negligence on
any others. II he cannot attend to the
fire boxes properly he should step out
and let someone else take charge OF
them who can, and not put the city to
the expense OF having an expert in
apoct the wires. If it were not for the
union men knowing the value Of the
wires to the whole community and
placing them in safe condition when
they find them otherwise. which is
very often. the system would be on the
"bum" for fair. ] am not trying Ia
knock anyone. but want to let you
know that / read your paper daily.
Yours respectfully,
A Union Man.

APPLE GROWING IN DELAWARE.

THE gathering of the Peninsula Horticultural
Il Society at Dover brings together many of
the leading fruit growers of the State and the
Eastern Shore Of Maryland for a practical ex-
change OF views and for the consideration Of an
industry that is of most vital Importance to the
farmers of Delaware. The repeated failures Of
the peach crop have proved a disappointment to
the growers and it is well that many Of them are
now turning their attention to the cultivation Of
apples.
The display Of apples on exhibition before the
society at Dover is of the finest that has ever
been made in the country and shows what can
be done if improved methods are turned to the
cultivation Of this fruit Some OF the finest ap-
pies in the world are grown in Kent county and
there is no reason why the cultivation of apples
should not be extended throughout the State
If not so profitable, the growing of apples is
much safer than the raising of peaches and in
the end will probably bring higher returns to
the farmers.

One OF the most exciting races ever
seen on the Christiana river took place
recently between the tugboats Emily
and Frederick Jansen. Both boats en-
tered the river at the same time and
at once started to race to the Pussy
and Jones Company's yards. The jan
sen had a slight lead on the Emily
hut the latter was rapidly gaining on
her opponent as they neared the Third
street bridge. Then without warning
the Jansen cut across the Enily's
bows. not only foncing the captain "a
reverse the engines TO avoid rammine
the Jansen and possibly sinking her
but also causing It to lose the race
The crew and captain Of the Emily
were very much incensed by the action
Of the Jansen. as 1t was contrary e
the rules Of the river as well as dan
gerous to both boats.

A STRIKE AT THE LITTLE ONES.

AT + FEAR the members of the Street and
w Sewer Department have long forgotten
the pleasures and amusements of their childhood
days and that their homes are not gladdened and
frightened by the rompng and cheering of little
boys and girls, else they would not have enact
ed yesterday that ordinance against little chill
dren skating on the streets. One accident to an
infrm person does not justify the commissioners
prohibiting twenty thousand children INDUCING
in most innocent and inoffensive amusement.
We consider the passage of that ordinance was
not necessary and was probably done without due
consideration 1t robs the children of one of
their pleasures and has aroused the indignation
Of many hundreds of mothers and fathers. Bet
ter repeal that ordinance at the next meeting

Praise For Police.

Editor The Evening Journal
There Is probably no class Of pubic
servants that comes in for a larger
share Of criticism than the police who
receive more hard knocks and form a
persistent target for abuse, yet there
are no public servants who render
more faithful service. There are, of
course, unworthy or careless men on
every force, but taking the average
work Of the police department, 1t is
true that the service returned is equal
to that of any other class of public
employees.
It has become a traditional joke that
the patrolmen never reaches the scene
Of trouble until the trouble is over,
but that is both unfair and untrue. A
policeman is not omnipresent and
therefore cannot be in all parts Of his
district at once and one reason that
he is not at the seat Of trouble when
1t begins, is that no two men are likely
to fight with a patrolman close by to
interfere.
The most unreasonable criticism Of
the police comes from the man whose
house or store is robbed at night He
always wants to know where the po-
lceman Is, but until burglars revise
their methods and inform the police
man on the beat when they propose to
rob. the work Of burglary viii continue
TO be performed. while the officer is on
another part Of his beat
While the city slumbers the guard
ians of life and property are doing
much that is never reported In the
newspapers and of which the citizens
seldom hear. The patrolmen cover
large districts every night they save
many careless merchants and house
holders from robbery by locking doors
heedlessly left open, while robbery is
committed only by the vigilance OF the
burglar, who satisfies himself that no
policeman is near before he seeks to
break door or open window.
But even great efficiency viii be
given to our police department when
Il ceases to be a political football and
is based upon the fitness of the mar
who applies and not upon his influence
in precinct.
Respectfully.
One Of the Men.
