NO HOPE OF DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS

IT HE visit of Taft and Sherman TO this State
Il was body blow to the trumpeters of the
Democratic campaign They have all along been
predicting that there is nothing but Republican
apathy here, that the party is divided, and that
the masquerade of the Democrats will slip into
power amid cloud of dust and noise They now
find that there is apathy and that there is little
upon which to base chances of Democratic sue
cess.
This failure of Democratic opportunity how
ever. to be expected. The platform, and the
chief candidates of the party avowedly reac-
tionary. They are earnestly supported by some
Democratic influences that cannot swallow
Bryan Bryan looks bad to them, but the Demo-.
cratic State ticket looks good. This is sufficient
proof of the assertion that the reactionary ele
ment has secured control OF the party in Della
ware.
What should we expect from it besides a re-
turn to the old corporation domination of the
State? The Democratic ticket recalls the old
days which the party platform pledges itself to
restore. Surely Delaware does not want return
to the old system of tax assessment and collec-
ton, the old attempts to keep voters from eXer-
cising the right of suffrage, the days when tax
collectors fed from the State and were driven
from windows in order to escape the fury of cti-
zens who wanted to qualify that they could
vote. The days of a free ballot, which have come
during the Republican ascendancy are far pref
cradle to the restoration of the conditions which
the Democratic platform pledges.
The DAYS of sending out unpaid tax receipts to
Democrats and other iugglery have passed, we
hope, forever. There is nothing in them to which
the Democrats can point with pride.

Prosperity That Endansers.
bio GInIn Inlll.alnI

It is a matter Of history that all
panics struck us in prosperous times.
Much money makes much debt; much
debt makes much interest, until finally
you have to borrow money to pay in
terest and then the iigs up. Business
is like a man. He must be temper
ate, cool-headed living within his
means and keeping out of deep water
II he would succeed in life. And so
It is with business, if it would pros
per. II must be kept steady and
straightforward; but in actual exper-
ience there are recklessness. plunglng.
visionary schemes and finally collapse.
It is, after all, a moral question wheth-
er man has right to cut loose from
the shore OF truth and the reality of
things, and buccaneer out in the sea
Of adventure and piracy in the hopes
Of capturing a rich argosy. Because
men do that, taking advantage of a
prosperous moment when they can rig
up their ships, is the explanation of
most panics that ahlict the country. If
we don't want panics we must live no
faster than we can live soberly and
temperately.

STATE AND SCHOOL CHILDREN.

W IDER and wider is becoming the scope of
w the State in caring for its children
through the medium of public school education.
Superintendent Shaeffer, of the Pennsylvania
public schools, in his recent report, has come out
fat-footed for medical inspection of the public
schools and the establishment of medical aid and
nurses for the pupils. The backwariness of
many pupils he attributes, in large measure to
the physical defects And in this DIR. Shaeffer is
undoubtedly right The superintendent believes
that everything possible should be done for the
children and that neglect of their welfare is a
waste OF our national resources. Undoubtedly
true. The State must step in, in justice to the
child, and do what the ignorant or negligent par
ent too often fails TO 10
DIR. Shaetfer also saws in his report that more
attention should be paid to Vocational" studies,
that is, the education should be more practical"
TO fit the pupil better for the practical work of
life. In this DR.. Shacffer echoes the prevailing
tendency in education towards the practical
This IS noticed everywhere. and whether it will
result in turning out one-sided men and not men
OF broad point Of view, remains to be seen. Too
much of the practical warps the mind and in
the end deadens mentality Practical" is a po-
tent word in the hum drum of the world. and is
most necessary to keep things going. to provide
the money and all that sort Of thing. but how
tiresome being always practical becomes.
OF course the Pennsylvania superintendent
makes plea Tor more pay for the teachers The
salaries of teachers, and in fact the remuneration
OF many others engaged in mental labor is
trihing. when the incomes of persons of a differ
ent class are considered.
We trust the Pennsylvania teachers will re-
oeive higher salaries and that they will give good
instruction to their children II the children
were instructed better and their brains developed
when they grow into manhood they might in
their civil life, be able to throw off the shackles
of the corrupt and vicious political system of
Pennsylvania.

TURKEYS SULTAN SEEMS DOOMED.

HNE result of the present war furry in East
- ern Europe is that Turkey will probably
get rid of her cruel Sultan. The Diplomatic
Corps in Constantinople is becoming rapidly con-
WINGED that the deposition of Sultan Abdul Hamd
is a matter of only short time.
Convinced that he has never been in sympathy
with the reforms that he was forced TO grant, that
he is desirous of seeing Turkey involved in war
in order to win back his former power and that
he is the central though hidden figure in the re-
dictionary movement that is now inenacing the
new regime, the Young Turks have virtually de-
creed that the Sultan must abdicate.
Such move would be forced at once but II is
believed the reformers desire TO choose a time
when it can be effected with less excitement than
when its explanation is so obvious.
This reactonary movement had gained such
strength during the early days OF the Turk Bull
garian trouble that the Sultan was kept a virtual
prisoner in the Yildiz Kiosk for fear that his APP
pearance on the street would provoke demon
stration in his favor.
The afronts to which the Young Turks cabi-
net was compelled TO submit cost the party an
since been regained but for a time the situation
was the most critical the new regime has ever
had to face.
Those among the reformers who have argued
that the Sultan is a constant menace are making
such good of the peril through which the
country is now passing that even the conserva-
tives arc practically unanimous IN the oplnion
that a change i'm rulers is imperative.
1t is not believed the Sultan will offer violent
opposition to his dethronement as it is becoming
apparent that it is either this his assassination
The war scare will not have been useless if it re-
suits in the removal of the Sultan.

THE ScHWAB SPIRIT.

II HERE is much Of the optinlst about Mr.
Charles NJ. Schwab He is breezy and
cheerful, a good talker, and those who have met
him do not find it hard to explain why he has
become one of the foremost captains OF industry
OF the country. 1t is needless 10 say that the di-
rectors of the Board OF Trade and those who saw
Mr. Schwab were delighted with the little affair
given in honor of his party yesterday.
Mr. Schwab is an antidote for the few tight
wads and the croasers and the selfish ones who
harass Wimington's industrial progress. Fortu-
nate, indeed is it for this city that the hand OF
fate threw Mr.. Schwab in this direction Indeed,
his speech Yesterday ought to be the dawning OF
a new industrial life in Wilmington and the de-
velopment of a real progressive spirit.
We are glad that Mr.. Schwab, incidentally and
without putting stress upon his words, told of
what the city OF Bethlehem, Pa, had done for the
steel company in that town. Wilmington needs
to know such things, and they need to be
drunmed repeatedly into the ears of this city.
Mr. Schwab and President Coke, OF the Harlan
and Hollingsworth Company, gave official con
hrmation to the reports that vast sum OF money
is to be spent upon the local plant and that II is
TO be made the best of its kind in the country
What this means for Wilmington can hardly be
estimated
1t seems that the Harlan and Hollingsworth
Corporation, in order to extend its plant, requires
some land and some small concessions from the
city. The requests of the company if they are at
all reasonable and there seems TO be no doubt on
that point, should be granted at once, and there
should be no repetition of the Otto Gas bunglng
Judge Parker will address the Democrats here
