outlook For Peach.

Dover News
There seems to be a growing feel
ing that the peach crop in this county
the present season may prove better
than has been estimated Not so very
many peaches IN one orchard but
quite a little pile in all the orchards
But the sprinkle is so irregular and
over so wide an area. that Mr.. Isaac
N. Mills who was knocked out of the
box as a peach-crop expert last sum
mer by the rot, may not care to pull
himself together and try 10 round up
the scattering fruit now on the trees.
We would probably conjecture that
our city friends who sit down to a
fine basket OF Georgia Bellies in Au-
gust will be out something better than
a dollar bin, but there may be badly
specked peaches for the even dollar.
And the peaches will probably be so
large this year that after the specks
are cut out, there will still be left
more than the ordinary season.

NEW JERSEY REFORM.

THE New Jersey Legislative Committee that
has been examining into the conduct Of the
administration of affairs of that state, has made
complete report with pertinent recommended
tions. 1t is proposed to end grating. The COM
mittee finds that there has been Studied indif-
ference and disregard of official duty as we'll as
wanton, wasteiul and reckless expenditure OF
public funds, in some instances involving moral
oblquity and corrupt practices"
This is a severe arraignment but it is no doubt
justified by the facts.
Among the recommendations are More
prompt settlements by public officers; condem-
nation by the Legislature OF absenteeism on the
part Of high salaried officers; abolition of dual
office holding; the creation Of a civil service COM
mission which shall supervise the entire State
service involving the appointment OF office
holders according to the merit system alone;
abolition OF various State commissions or their
consolidation so that there will be a saving of
the taxpayers money; that the State Board Of
Arbitration which has cost the State already
$4,000 and accomplished nothing, be abolished !;
that contracts be awarded for supplies to the
lowest responsible bidders and that they be pro-
perly advertised; that the employment Of useless
attaches Of the State House be abolished at once
There is room for reform in New Jersey
One of the favorite methods OF politicians is to
create useless offices to be filled by their hench-
men at the expense Of the State This system
has been carried to the limit in New Jersey.
\ The movement for reform in the States adj
ministration is due to the energy of Governor
Stokes and there will be a change which will
prove beneficial to the taxpayers.
The agitation throughout the country for a
better conduct Of State and municipal affairs
should not be lost upon Delaware. We are en-
tering upon an era of large expenditures of pub
lie moneys. The Legislature has placed huge
sums in the hands OF Wilmington and New Castle
county officials TO be expended for improve
ments. These officials should see that the
money is properly used so that the taxpayers
get what the yare paying for We have already
noticed a disposition in the New Castle County
Levy Court to scrutinize bills presented foU
county work done. This policy, The Journal
trusts will be continued. If an economical course
is pursued there will be no necessity for any in
Vestigation Of affairs in Delaware in the near
future
The responsibility for the proper employment
OF the funds in Delaware is upon the Repub-
q can administration. The recent election showed
A large independent vote in this city. The polit-
ica parties are rather evenly divided and a reck-
less disposal OF county funds or the ctys income,
Avill mean protest at the polls by the people and
" possible defeat of the party.

ABOLITION OF CHILD LABOR.
THE movement for the abolition Of child
a labor is gaining headway

THE movement for the abolition of child
a labor is gaining headway.
At the session Of the National Conference Of
Charities and Correction held at Minneapolis,
Senator Beverdge delivered thoughtful address
upon child labor. All during the meetings, child
labor holds high place in the discussion of every
topic before the conference A child labor com
mission was organized recently in Washington.
The Association of Manufacturers, the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor and the civic bodies have
members of the commission.
The question of child and female labor is one
Of the most important topics with which our civ
ilization is compelled to deal and it can be regu-
lated only by governmental enactment. Child
and female labor in mills is due to the greed Of
employers, but those employers who are opposed
to the exploitation Of children are unable to abol-
ish that sort Of labor SO long their competitors
use it.
