THE REMEDY NOT YET FOUND.

TIME Rev Madison c. Peters who has been
- described lately as heading the sym
patHy squad" at the Thaw trial in New York
because Of his pen pictures Of the incidents there
has discovered that the metropolis is "money
mad' 1t is a find that others also have made
ln fact the CRY OF money lunacy has begun TO
pail on one. We hear so much of it, Some
times it is exaggerated. Everyone in New York
saith the preacher is drunken with the lust Of
eold,7 and some OF them often are drunken with
things other than gold.
Mr. Peters may have come in contact with the
ylrious citizens in the humber walks OF life who
are on the alert for the ever present tips. The
"high hnanciers' are not the only ones greedy
for the ducats.
Mr.. Peters observes that 20 per cent. OF the
people Of New York are dependent upon charity.
Rather a high figure, but the submerged tenth is
strong in New York In fact it seems to be a
law OF civilization that accumulation of riches
at one end is followed by misery and degrada-
ton and exploitation at the other The great
economic writer, Marx, declared this as scen-
tifc truth. But after all, it is only relative.
Rich men a hundred years ago would not be con-
sidered such nowadays. It is true that vast
sum is extravagantly spent in New York Lux
ury is justified by some economic writers. 1t is
condemned by most Of them. But if it be true
that New York has its misery it also is possess
cd of many large and open-hearted gvers. Its
charities are great. We shall jog along in the
same old way. The economic doctors have not
yet discovered a remedy. Even Mr.. Peters could
not. tell us how we can avoid all the evils of tho

sTILL FIRING AT THE LEAGUE.

a T CONVENIENT times Every Evening
declares that it is not a Democratic or
gan. Just now it seems to have great concern for
the Democratic party and is painfully distressed
for fear the Peoples League will run counter to
the interests of that party. OF course what it
says about harming the Democratic party will
not be taken seriously by the Democrats. 1t is
not the least uneasy about the Democratic party,
but it is about the remarkable growth of the Peo-
pies League. 1t is dragging politics into the
question not to help the Democrats but TO hurt
the League, the purpose Of its argument being
to discourage Democrats from joining the
League Every Evening is against any move
ment intended to place the government in the
hands of the people II is both arstocratic and
plutocratic, and anything else but Democratic.
It is opposed to a league of the people and de
nounces such a movement as an attempt TO turn
the government over TO a mob.

collars around the necks of enough members of
the Legislature to prevent any legislation adverse
to their interests There are already in the Leg

to be seen whether a majority OF the members

casionally enlivcned by the virile language en-
ployed by the Senator. Mr.. Bailey used TO be
quick on the trigger He is rapid with the lie
even now. But the Senator's career has been
dimmed by the charges against him. People
don't all agree that Senator in the pay OF the

fortune on the side The idea has never been

overworked Teachers.

Editor The Evening journal.
Why are the public school teachers OF
Wilmington expected to give every mo-
ment Of their time to the school system?
They are faithful to their duties ia every
sense Of the word and when the schools
are dismissed instead of being free, they
must hurry to lectures, then ma to write
and study until many of them fan victims
TO fatigue and overstrained nerves. An
mothers know the strain Il is to care for
their own brood; but think Of what Il
must be to care for class of 50 o. more.
and then not to have one moment of re-
taxation.
Why is it that graduates do not want
to hold positions as teachers? Did vii
mington ever lack for substitutes? There
is too much supervision and the training
teacher is no more capable of supervising
than the supervised. II is time to nave "a
change OF things, as even the day labor
ers time is his own when his days work
is over; and they are not suffering from
grip, as was said, but overburdened
nerves. Is there not someone to stand up
for the noble teachers Of Wilmington.
Respectfully,
Friend Of Teachers.

Wants Railways to Clear Streets.
Editor The Evening Journal
Any one-horse town would be ashamed
to have the great piles OF snow left IN the
streets as is done in Wilmington and why
the city officials permit such a thing is
beyond my understanding Take for IN
stance the streets on which the cars are
operated. The companies send out their
sweepers and they clear the snow from
their rails. But where does it gog Right
into the street that the city IS supposed
TO keep clear and the city says nothing
to the railway companies for thus shift
ing from their own shoulders a respon-
siblity that they should in all justice to
the city assume themselves. This snow
blocks the driveway, yet the city Will ar
rest a man who happens TO get in the path
of a trolley car and hold it up for few
minutes, yet the man can find no place
TO drive as. under the present conditions,
It IS almost impossible to drive team
through the mountains OF snow piled
along the curb line. The injustice and in
equality Of the whole thing is too pain
t. need any comment
