OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

NJ UGH has been said about the success OF the
cruise Of our fleet Of battleships around
the world. the lessons in patriotism that the
cruise has taught, and the fine qualities that our
officers and sailors arc displaying, together with
the superiority of our style of naval architecture.
The cruise has also called to mind our mari
time weakness. At a recent dinner Of the Society
of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, held
in New York city, several Of the speakers de-
clarcd that despite the strength Of the navy as it
stands alone, the cruise is showing to the world
our dependence upon foreign colliers. Such
cruise that of the Atlantic feet could not be
made in time of because of our lack of an
auxiliary merchant marine.
President Butler, Of the Merchant Marine
League of the United States, referred TO THE
spectacle of huge battleship feet the pride of
the nation, being conveyed and nursed around
the world by crowd of slow and shabby COM
mercal hoboes and colliers flying half dozen
foreign flags"
But readiness in time of war is not the only
reason why we should have merchant marine.
Peace arguments are that the commercial SUI
premacy OF the country is involved by the made
quacy' of the shipping industry. Our merchant
marine should be interested. If the cruise Of the
battleships should arouse renewed interest in the
merchant marine and spur our law makers to
more earnest efforts to strengthen the
merchant marine, that result would be sat
isfactory to the country. In any renewed ac-
tivity the supporters Of our shipping industries
will have firm friend in the Presdent-elect, who
sent letter TO the New York dinner announcing
that he was heartily in favor of aiding the mer-
chant marine by legislation
Delaware. of course. is interested in anything
that will add to the glory of the American mer
chant marine, which is intimately connected with
our local industries. And along with our concern
in the construction of inland waterways should
go a corresponding interest i'll the building OF
American boats.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. s0-A
silk-hatted diplomat and a modishly
gowned society woman, figure in one
of the most mysterious stooting affairs
that have come to the attention of the
local police,
William Sykes, a negro, today lies at
Emergency Hospital with a bullet
wound in the hip.
He was found nearly unconscious ON
a street corner, in the fashionable part
of the city Saturday night. He swore
that he had been shot by a distinguish.
ed looking man, in evening dress
whom. together with a handsomely
gowned woman, he had asked for direc-
tions to another part Of the city. The
man curtly stopped the question anger
ing Sykes, who struck him in the face.
Then Sykes says the man drew a re.
volver and fired.
There was couple Of witnesses to
the shooting, one a small boy on skates
who swears that he followed the couple
to a fashionable apartment house, ana
there lost track of them.
The police to-day state that the
names Of both the man-who is sup
posed to be a legation attache here
and his companion are known. Beyond
stating that the latter is a member of
one OF the city's best families, and wife
of an army officer, the police refuse in
formation. They think the man has
left the city to avoid disagreeablS
complications.

Big DEFICIT in
POSTAL RECEIPTS
Shortage Of $I6,S73,223 Re-
ported by Postmaster
General Meyer

WASHINGTON, Nov. SO.-In his an
nual report for the fiscal year ended June
80, 1905 Postmaster General Meyer gives
the total receipts for the year as $196,47S-
668 and the total expenditures as $685.
s5l, ,SS6 thereby showing a deficit Of &c.
SO, ,223. the largest in the history of the
department, with an additional loss from
fire, burglary etc, of sS7, ,o56. The deficit Of
1909 It is estimated, will again exceed
sle.OOOOoO.
Attention is particularly called to a
number Of improvements in business
methods of the department as tending to
its advantage and the saving of consider
able amounts. Recommendation is again
made for the creation of the position of
director of posts at high salary, and
who shall hold office during good be-
havior. the object being to have a con-
tnuity of policies for the benefit Of the
postal service and the people of the United
States.
The necessity for good roads is pointed
out in connection with the development
OF the rural free delivery service. 1t is
suggested that should Congress grant the
department authority to utilize rural
routes still further by the establishment
of limited parcel post, confined entire
ly to rural delivery routes It would then
be possible TO earn additional revenue
amounting to millions Of dollars, and at
the same time benefit the farmer by en-
ablng him to have merchandise delivered
by telephone or postal card, which other
wise would not be purchased.
"The special parcel post" says the Post
master general. "win enable the farmers
TO have small parcels delivered at their
gates TO live better, and 10 obtain easily
the necessaries Of life. Permission is re-
quested TO establish experimentally,
limited parcel post in not to exceed four
counties. in order to demonstrate the
practicability Of the plan.
The postmaster general again urges Leg
islation permitting the establishment OF
postal savings banks or repositories in
connection with postofhces. Experiments
with stamp vending machines says the
postmaster general, are still being con-
ducted with every prospect that the de-
fects which developed in the preliminary
tests will be overcome. These machines, it
is expected by me department, will add
immeasurably to the public convenience.

Editorial
Opinion
Pay of LEGISLATORS.

Milford Chronicle
We are pleased to see that there is
strong sentiment against any raise in the
salaries OF the members OF the Legisla-
ture, and that the newly-elected Legisla-
ture will be asked to defeat the proposed
mendment to the constitution, which pro-
vides for a ten dollar per diem for mem-
bers of legislature I'm the future. II it
were possible to get more ability for the
increase in pay. It might be advisable,
but in our opinion, it will operate in an
opposite direction, by making the office
Q eker active to get nominated just for the
sake of the pay The present pay OF five
dollars per diem Is ample TO cover all ex-
penses OF the members, and i'm most in
stances is more than the members receive
for their services at home. The amend
ment TO the Constitution is a good thing
to kill promptly. It never should have
gone as far as Il has.
