IHoNoRING THE DEAD.

THE dwelling Of the monument in memory
l. (,of the late Thomas Francis Bayard, in
Rockford Park, this afternoon, was one OF the
most noteworthy events OF the kind in the his
tory Of Delaware, and we trust that this affair
but the beginning Of a povement in this State
20 honor the memories of Delaware's distin-
leuished sons. The life Of Mr. Bayard furnishes
many lesson to the rising generation OF this
State. AS Bishop Curtis aptly says, Mr. Bayard
IN his public life was always not merely unac-
cused but unsupported"
1t is fitting that for these qualities alone his
memory should be perpetuated. Had he been
alive to-day no one would have been more active
or energetic than he in denouncing the evils OF
the day. As politician in the higher sense, Mr..
Bayard was a success. No man in Delaware has
river attained the national prominence that he
reached.
No State in the Union, considering its size and
population, has stood higher than Delaware in
the history OF the country, both in civil and milf
tary life And no State, judging from the me.
morias erected has SO little appreciated the SER
vices Of her distinguished sons as Delaware.
Me trust that the exercises this afternoon
will have the wholesome effect OF stimulating

Smoking in Open Cars.

Editor The Evening journal.
The railway companies should see
that the rule against smoking on open
cars, on any other than the last three
seats, is strictly complied with. AL
ready a number OF instances have oc-
Cured where passengers have violat-
ed the rule without being called down
by the conductors. Just the other
eveing a young man on a Delaware
avenue car who occupied the fifth
seat from the rear, very near the cen-
ter OF the car, pulfed away on a cigar
The heavy wind that prevailed blew
the clouds of smoke back into the car,
greatly to the discomfort of num-
ber of ladies'. These passengers at
last We're compelled to change their
seats so that they could ride with COM
fort. In spite of the action of the
young man the conductor looked serene
ly at the offender without making the
slightest protest. AS the season for
open cars is at hand, it is timely TO
call attention of the railway COM
panies to the fact that the rule against
smoking should be strictly enforced and
that the conductors should be instruct
ed to this effect

TRADE AT HOME.

THE Mercantile Committee Of the Board OF
4 Trade is discovering the good effects Of
the movement for trading at home, which has
been advanced chiefly by THE JOURNAL
This paper has pointed out the advantages Of
supporting Wilmington industries and Whining
ton merchants. The movement we believe, has
come to stay.
Many people deal in Philadelphia through
thoughtlessness. They do not really consider
the claims OF the local tradesmen and merchants.
Much trade goes to Philadelphia which should
stay here, the reason being that many merchants
fail to let the public know what goods they have
and what the prices are. How is the public to
know that Mr.. A or Mr. B has wares as fine as
could be obtained in Philadelphia unless Mr. A
or Mr.. lets the public know that he has such
articles. The merchants must do their part in
the boom for large trade Wilmington Some
Of the leading business men already have dem
onstrated that the trade-at-home idea can be used
successfully THE JOURNAL proposes to lead
in this work. asst has done from the start but the
excellent results which are vouched for by the
Board of Trade committee are coming sooner

MR.. QU1GG's IDEAS.

nee, 1esddress OF the Hon. Lemuel Ely Quigg,
Dear At the High School dinner the other even
.ndet shows how hard President Roosevelt has hit
rne Patt machine in New York. The address OF
Mr. Ouigg was a thinly veiled attack upon the
president, and it was interesting because it re-
fected the views of those leaders in the financial
and machine centers who are trying so desper-
ately to crush the popularity OF the President.
Colonel Roosevelt has put politicians of the
stripe OF Mr.. Quigg out Of political business, and
no wonder they are smarting under the lashing
they have received.
Mr. Quigg also indicates one of the lines Of
attack that recently has been made upon the
President. He and the apologists for the trusts
in both the Republican and the Democratic par
ties, are fearful lest the functions of government
shall be too largely extended. They are afraid
that the government will become too active, and
that constitutional rights will be impaired
Mr. Ouigg and Senator Platt, and the trust
snagnates whom the senator represents, have
Wood reasons for the fear. Mr. Platt, for in
,sanceNis afraid that the government will inter
lere with the extortions of the express companies
IN which he is Interested
All the trust magnates who have been violat-
ing the law would like the government TO keep
its hands off them. A policy Of non-interference
is what they desire, but it is a strange doctrine
coming froy1 those who in the past have always
contended for strong, centralized government
and who have opposed he doctrinaire States
rights ideas. Now apparently, they believe the
revival Of these discarded notions will help them
to stay the hand OF an administration which is
confronted with solution OF problem brought
about by modern economical and industrial
changes and development.
