Browns cycling proposition announced
a few evenings ago, was received with
much enthusiasm by a large assembly

sionary in the Annoy district Of China.
In this connection, the death is noted

was he on wheel exercise that he was

Washington. Feb 24-The Navy Depart
ment has decided to use a dozen sheen TO

sas' Pinch cotton gun against the tur-
ret Of the monitor Florida. 1t was the
original intention TO have a fun compile

AS the experiment is entirely a new
one the experts are unable to say what
effect the collision Of the enormous shell
and the steel-clad turret win have on the
twelve sheep. Some officers think that the
animals will be instantly killed Others
think they will be merely stunned while
still others believe they will be as frsky
as ever when they are released after the
performance.
Naval officers do not care to have the
fact made public that animals other than

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
MILFORD. Del, Feb. 24-The edi-
torial which appeared in THE EVEN
ING JOURNAL a short time ago re-
lative to the building of a hospital in
Milford has aroused a great deal Of
enthusiasm among the people of this
town. For. some time the need of such
an institution has been keenly felt by
the people Of lower Delaware, and it
has been quietly talked over more than
once. Milford is looked on as a favor
able SPOT both from a hygenic point Of
view and because it is easy Of access
from all points in the lower counties.
The town is only situated six miles
from the Delaware Bay shore and the
salt air can be noticed at nearly all
times.
The women Of Milford are particular
" interested, and a meeting has been
called for next week at the home Of
Mrs. George w Marshall wife of the
insurance commissioner Of Delaware,
where ways win be discussed by which
funds can be raised to place such an
institution here.

REBUKED JEROME.

II He rebuke of District Attorney Jerome be-
cause of his failure to prosecute the Ice
Trust in New York is the more singing because
James w. Osborne has been appointed to conduct
these prosecutions in place OF Jerome. It may be
remembered that Osborne was the candid'te for
district attorney against Jerome and was defeated
by the latter in a stirring campaign
During that campaign Jerome referred slight
ingly to his opponent, calling hun Poor Jim
and expressing pity because Osborne was not free
to make to the people promises that he would
prosecute all offenders against the law, whether
they were of high or low degree Now the tables
have been turned on Jerome The man whom he
criticised is called upon to perform the duties
that Jerome neglected to perform.

Editorial Opinion
One of MlIton,s Problems.


Milton Times.
Rev. McCready. on Sunday morning,
preached a powerful sermon on "The
Negative and Positive Christian" in
which he said that the negative Chris
tlan, the man who does no bad nor
good, is doing more to retard tho
growth of the Church than any other
force.
Just so it is in town affairs. The man
who sits passively by and does nothing
for the advancement of his home town
is as much against its progress as the
man who, at every opportunity, speaks
slightingly and sneeringly of every
movement made by the energetic citi-
zens for the industrial betterment Of
the town There ara no two ways
about IT. you are either for or against
the advancement of your town; you
cannot be for progress and remain pas
sive and inactive. Think you that the
man who never raises MS voice or stirs
his energies in behalf of whatever i'm
provement or industry advocated or
contemplated is helping any because
he doesn't openly fight them? Not ore
whit more than the man who frowns
upon, ridicules and disparages the
movement Every enterprise started
in this town for the past FIVE years
have been ridiculed and predicted fail
ures SO they would have been haG
these negative citizens been looked to
for support, but. thanks to positive
citizens, they have prospered and are
doing much to bring Milton to the front
ranks Of progressive towns. The mega
tive citizens never did anything against
them, nor have they done anything for
them
Be a man or a monkey; either sup
port or oppose The men behind the
movement to place our town in the
front ranks of manufacturing towns
are meeting obstacles enough without
fighting their fellow citizens, but if
they must struggle with you, for Gods
sake let them know where you stand.
Come out in the open and declare your
self either for or against; do not be a
negative, a close-mouth or a don't care.

I Ohm B. MESSICK is his name
1t is name worth thinking about for more
than a moment
THE JOURNAL printed story in which John
B. Messck was the hero if we may be permitted
to use the word hero in this connection
The burden OF the story is that John B. Mes
SICK alter twenty-one years, is paying money to
his former creditors. He is not forced TO paw
that money by law, but is paying it voluntarily.
Mr. Messck was unfortunate in business twenty
one years ago at Millington, Md. and was com
PEELED to cease business owing considerable
money He resumed business, has prospered, and
proposes to pay all the people to whom he owed
money when he failed. Some of his creditors
among them MIR. E. c. Ross, had forgotten ali
about the debt, and the surprise Of Mr. Ross may
wei be imagined when the check for more than
$1,000 came to him. Mr.. Messick saws that in
paying these debts he is fulfilling the cherished
desire of his life.
We have read great deal these davs about
lrenzied hnanee and crooks in business. about
men who desire to reap fortunes off the misfor-
tunes OF others and it is a pleasure to read of a
man like Mr. John B. Messick.

NO BACKWARD STEP.

TN HIS address before the Union League OF
i Chicago on Saturday, in honor OF Washing
IONS birthday. Governor Hughes expressed his
views regarding the questions OF the day And
from this address the so-caled 'reacuonaries
can draw little comfort .-
The speech of the governor was optimisuc
With firm faith in the integrity OF the American
neople the governor dismisses the direful predic-
tions of the calamity howlers, who have been
threatening all sorts of evil things should the
fight to see whether the government controls the
special interests or whether the special interests
control the government shall be continued
The governor believes that the railroads must
be supervised by the government. And, indeed,
this is the view that is accepted by many OF the
leading railroad managers Mr.. Hughes de-
nounces lobbes and declares in effect that the
legislatures must be freed from the pernicous in
huences of these representatives of special inter
ests.
The governor recognizes the importance OF the
governments interfering with the trusts and the
vast aggregations of capital, but he speaks Tor a
careful and deliberate consideration OF these ques
tons
The special point of the Hughes address is its
showing that the leading candidates for the nomi-
nation for president are not disposed to step
backward and a return of the old order so de-
voutly wished bv those who have worked them
selves into a frenzy because of the present admin
istration at Washington is not at all probable.
