WE often wonder why it is SO
many young men can be seen loaf
ing upon our streets until a late
hour of night. Many of them are
from our best homes. The fathers
Of these young men, many Of them
at least are numbered among our
best citizens. If their COW or their
horse or even their favorite dog
was away from home after dark
they would be out on a search, but
their own children can roam the
town all night with apparent no
effort being made to find them. The
boy seems to be turned loose to
wander at will into the paths of sin
and vice and then we wonder where
all our tramps and worthless speci-
mems of humanity come from. 1t
is a regrettable fact that too many
of them come from seed germina-
ted in good homes and then sown
in a careless manner upon our
streets and back alleys. Readers,
is your boy wasting his time on our
streets? If so had you better
not, at least look after him as
carefully at night fall as you
would your horse and COW. We
do not intimate that this evil |
exists to a greater extent in this /
community than in our sister
towns, but the evil seems universal
and increases in magnitude as the
years roll by.

Teachers Annual Institute.

The time and place for holding the An
nual Teachers Institute for Sussex
County has been definitely fixed for Reho-
both, from the 9TH to llth of September.
There are several reasons for making
the change in both the time and place.
Milford, the old place of holding the In
stitute, has been changed to a Kent
County school district, and the teachers
of the town therefore attend the Kent
County Institute. Rehoboth as a sea-
side resort offers great attractions and all
the hotels give uniform rates of 81 per
day to the teachers and their friends. It
is believed also that if an Annual Insti-
tute justified by its benefits, these bene-
fits should be afforded before the open
ing of the school term. This is especially
true for inexperienced teachers, as the
success or failure of a teacher is largely
determined duriug the first month Of
school. Again there are many points
which the Superintendent and other
school officials wish to discuss with the
teachers prior to the opening of school.
The recent compulsory school law was an
instance in point. The Institute at this
time gives such an opportunity. Insti-
tute at this time avoids very harmful
break during the school term. The old
time practically meant the loss of an en-
tire week, just two or three weeks pre-
ceding another break at Christmas. The
economies possible in holding the Insti-
tute at Rehoboth permit continuing the
Institute during four days instead Of three
as heretofore.
All the schools of the County will be
expected to open September 14th. This
uniform opening is a matter Of immense
advantage in the administration of the
schools. With the rest and enthusiasm
derived from the week Of inspiring ses-
ions Of Institute at the sea-shore just
prior to the opening of school, greatly
efficiency in teaching may be
expected.

THREE young men of Sussex
county stand charged as petty
thieves for stealing harness and
robes at a camp meeting. This
character of crime has been toler-
ated for years, and it is well that
it should be brought to an end,
even though it brings sorrow and
shame to those who are innocent.
by reason Of family relations. The
unhappy spectacle Of a father and
brother weeping on the shoulder of
a young man just into the first
years Of his manhood for a petty
crime, should be a lesson to those
who thoughtlessly enter into this
phase of crime without thinking of
the consequences. Stealing a whip
is as dispicable as stealing a dollar
bill, and when this is impressed
upon the minds Of all young people
as well as those older, the less
trouble they will weave for them
selves.

A LOCAL newspaper is absolutely
necessary to any community. 1t
is the home papers that keeps the
people of the community in touch
with each other by giving them all
the news oftheir own neighborhood
and county. For that alone they
are of value and worth far more
than the the small subscription
price. They keep the local pride
and progressive spirit aroused and
in various ways are worth far more
TO a community than a community
ever spends on them. The daily
paper, with its large news service
and quicker facilities, may in some
instances overshadow the weekly,
but the weekly home paper fills
place in the hearts of the people
that daily cannot fill. It comes
10 your home as an old and tried
friend, whilesthe daily enters as
stranger.

IF the future is TO De Juugeo Dy
the past, Delaware may rest secure
in the conviction that her people
will appreciate the grave import
ance of selecting a proper man as
the next Governor. They will
avail themselves also Of the oppor-
tunity which the general election
NAV offer for the reform of unjust
and antiquated tax laws. The con
fdence in our citizens, and partic-
ularly in that portion of the electors
who respond to the call Of Repub-
licanism, leads to the suggestions
which are none the less applicable
to present conditions because. trite.
An executive officer OF a State
under normal and usual conditions
may be All ordinary man, but extra
ordinary occasions of peril and ex-
ceptional opportunities for reform
demand high-minded, trustworthy,
strong and affirmative executive
leaderships.
The next Governor of this State
should be a man oflarge experience
in the affairs of men. He should
be habitated to achieve by his own
efforts and merits, he should be
the free choice of his party which
thus expresses its recognition Of his
worth, and should not be the recip-
lent of the Office at the hands Of
political dictators, which would be
an Office purchased at the price OF
individual dishonor and political
perhdity. His moral life, public
and private, should reflect those
traits of character which dignity
the Office and enoble the man. His
successful business or professional
life should not expose him to the
charge of Commercial politics.
His concern for the welfare Of the
whole people should be limited
only by a just regard for the rights
of private property not a hater Of
as such, nor a victim
of railroadphobia. The next Gov
ernor should be a man with char
acter grounded upon an action di-
rected by an attitude Of mind that
seeks always to do the square thing
by all irrespective Of condition,
position or person, conscious of the
present inequalities Of taxation /
that weigh most heavily upon the
and poorer classes ofsociety. |
The next Governor should be zeal /
ous to place on wealth which is
now exempt from all taxation, its
proper proportion Of the burthens
of State government. Knowing
hat the proper afinitlve function
If government, is the protection of
he weak against the aggressions
If the strong, the next Governor
hould devote determined effort to
he changing Of the attachment
lens Of this State and the exemp-
ion laws for the lower counties. |
n other words, the next Governor
hould be a man Of brains as well
S Of experience, and one who has
he aggressiveness to see that the
legislature carries the needed re-
orms out into proper laws.

PATTEN AND HIS CROWD CLEANED UP
100000 BY CORNERING MAY CORN

The corner has been largely in May
corn, and Patterns holdings of this. op-
ton were accumulated between 50 and
90 cents Subsequent buying necessary
to support the market at critical periods
raised the average purchase price about
cents a busheL
Deal Began Last October.
The deal began eaAly in October. 1867
In that month May corn sold up to 65Lc
The financial troubles which came about
that time tumbled the price to 531sc After
the financial furry had abated the price
of May corn advanced slowly. During
February it sold up 70 62iac. and in March
at 6SIsc Since then il has continued TO
climb and shorts have secured the coun-
try for corn TO deliver on their May con-
tracts. Immense quantities of the grain
have been delivered to Patten, but he
has paid for il all and apparently stood
ready at all times TO take more.
Early in May the shorts commenced
desperate efforts TO fill the Chicago eleV-
ators with corn. and many of the west
ern railroads issued rush" orders to
apply on all corn shipments. Despite this
however. the "Patten crowd" were not
compelled to let go. nor was their hold
in the market weakened to any apparent
extent

Chicago May 29.-The corner in May
corn which has been run by James A Pat
ten of this city and his associates came
10 an end today. and the "Patten crowd"
is generally credited with having made
about 100000 on the deal, although il
is admitted that all estimates are largely
guesswork. Mr.. Patten personally de-
clared today that he did not know how
much had been made.
The market today was highly irregular
and nervous in wheat corn and oats
MAY wheat ranged between S1.06 and Sill,
and closed at s1.101z. Corn sold anywhere
between 7Tlsc and S2ssc and closed at Soc
To- sole. Oats ranged between 51Izc and
5G3sc and closed at 5224c.
Much Excitement.
Excitement ran high today i'm all of the
grain pits when the weakness was great
est Values changed with such bewilder-
ing rapidity that traders were puzzled.
Shorts were anxious 10 cover and brOk-
ers for the bull leaders had at times
plenty of grain to sell. IL is claimed
that the shorts have delivered TO Mr.. Pat
ten and his friends not far from 5,000.O0
bushels of corn and close TO 1. $4,000 bush
els of oats.
