RETuRN no coNsERvATIsM.

THE Hon. Grover Cleveland frequently offers
/ political advice that is received with aocla-
nation by his political admirers His counsel IS
similar to that given by others in effect that there
should be return to Conservatism to safe and
sane and prudent Americanism.
1t has been proposed to send Mr.. Cleveland to
the Denver convention, where he could impress
his views upon the Democratic party as there
represented. This idea is good. Mr.. Cleveland
would probably receive a surprising welcome
which would demonstrate the effection with
which the former President is regarded by the
masses Of his party. The welcome might be more
than even the friends of Mr.. Cleveland bargained
for.
The trouble with the advice for conservatism
given by Mr.. Cleveland and others is that It IS
rather misty to the reader What such counsel
lors are getting at is not plain. We know where
the bulk of the criticism Of President Roosevelt
and his policies originated. The first serious at
tacks came upon the President when he started
to bring alleged large violators of the law to JUS
tice When he began prosecutions of the Stand
ard Oil Company and the proceedings against
railroad companies to stop rebating and other un-
lawful practices, there was loud objection, and at
once the cry was started that the President was
"autocratic' and that there should be return to
"sane and sensible methods Does the conserva-
tism Of the kind Mr.. Cleveland is telling us about
mean that the Presidents policy when he began
prosecutions Of alleged law-breakers was wrong
and should be abandoned? There were no prose-
cutions Of special interests during Mr. Cleveand's
term as President, and if that administration is
TO be taken as a model we can judge what is
meant by the cry of a return to conservatism"

INSTITUTE
TO BE IN MARCH

The Board Of Education decided last
night that the annual institute of
teachers shall be held some time in
the early part Of March. The sessions
will continue for two days and will
be held at the Wilmington High School,
on motion Of DR.. Cooper, chairman
of the teachers committee, $500 was
allowed to defray the expenses Of hold
ing the institute.
Miss Ethel II. Walther resigned as
teacher at No. 20 school and the
teachers committee reported having
appointed the Misses Anna 7. Black
and Irene L. Scott as primary school
teachers at annual salaries of $3.50
each
Superintendent Of Schools Twitmyer
reported that all the night schools
were progressing favorably and the at
tendance was good with the exception
Of the sessions being held at No. -
school. The attendance at this school
has fallen off to such an extent that
one teacher had to be dismissed.
Applications for position as truant
officer of public schools were received
from William Joyce and John Bolen.

REPORT ON GoLDFIELD

II He report OF the special Investigators sent by
the President to inquire into conditions IN
the Godfeld mining district scores the governor
of Nevada for calling on Federal troops to sup
press an imaginary uprising AS result OF the
inquiry the soldiers are to be sent away from
Goldheld as soon as the Legislature meets.
The mine owners are criticized by the presi-
Dental investigators. According to the commits
sioners the troops were called for in order that
the mine owners might carry out their plan to re-
duce wages and to refuse to recognize the miners
union To refuse to recognize the union by agree
ment among themselves, the commission declares
is a violation of the laws Of Nevada Thus, ac-
cordng to the Investigators, the mine owners
proposed to violate the law of their State and to
protect themselves in such violations by the Fed
eral soldiers
The report of the commissioners, which is en-
dorsed by the President, will be highly displeas-
ing to those who so persistently condemned the
Nevada miners, declared lawlessness existed in
Goldheld and were anxious to see the schemes of
the mine owners supported by the strong arm Of
the Federal Government.

REpREssIvE MEASURES IN RUSSIA.

THE Car has begun repressive measures
i against the radicals and revolutionists OF
the Russian Empire The reactionaries are again
in control of the emperor's thoughts. Bureau
Gratis have had taste OF what liberalism means,
and they are weary Of it. The old hand Of iron
is to be laid upon the revolutionists, but again it
will be found that they cannot be stamped out by
such methods.
All the members Of the executive committee of
the Socialist party in the Empire are to be tried
They will be condemned under the Russian
method Of miscalled justice and Siberia will prob
ably be their fate. Some of those who will be
exiled are members Of former ill-fated Russian
parliaments which were dispersed by the Car.
The answer Of the followers Of the revolutionists
will be what it always has been when similar re-
pressive measures have been employed. That an
saEer is the bomb, the pistol or the knife. The

MAxIMs OF TAXATION.

THE four generally accepted principles of tax
a alton are as follows:
I. The subjects of every State ought to con
tribute to the support Of the government, as near
" as possible in proportion to their respective
abilities that is in proportion to the revenue they
respectively enjoy under the protection OF the
State In the observation or neglect OF this
maxim consists what is called the equality or in
equality of taxation.
? The tax which each individual is bound to
pay ought to be certain and not arbitrary The
time of payment, the manner of payment the
quantity to be paid, ought all to be clear and plain
to the contributor and to every other person.
3. Every tax ought to be levied at the time or
in the manner in which it is most likely to be con-
venient for the contributor to pay it.
a. Every tax ought to be so contrived as both
to take out and to keep out of the pockets Of the
people as little as possible over and above what 1t
brings into the public treasury of the State.
1t would be we'll for the State Revenue Com
mission in formulating its taxation system to keep
in mind these maSms of taxation.

SIX THOUSAND BARRELS
OF BIVALVES SHIPPED

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
CLAYTON, Del, jan H.-An estimate
Of the peninsula's part in supplying the
good things for the holiday enjoyment in
Philadelphia and other Cities neglected
to account for the fine oysters and clans
shipped northward for the "half shells
and the chowder and bullion. Just 6,0O0
barrels and bags of oysters and clans, In
addition TO all that were "shucked" and
shipped in frkins and kettles, were sent
northward from Chincoteague alone.
With the evergreen, the turkeys, chick
ems and geese. the canned vegetables and
fruits and the Maryland and Delaware
biscuit, the peninsula proved indeed a
feeder for the Eastern cities.

sUPPLY on CANNED VEGETABLES.

ITO OFFSET the large pack of tomatoes dur
i ing the last season there is a serious short
age in the pack OF corn, which amounted to only
7,oo4o44 cases, compared with o,56I,ooo during
1906. There was, however, the largest pack of to-
matoes on record. Maryland led the list with
more than 100000 cases, while Delaware was
second with 100000 cases. California, the two
Virginias and New Jersey packed nearly million
cases each, and no other State reached a record
of more than half million cases. The grand total
of tomatoes packed in the United States and Can
ada for 1907 was nearly I3,5oo,ooo cases, an in
crease OF 81 per cent. compared with the figures
of 1000
Canned tomatoes and corn are staple articles of
food in most American households during the
winter season. There ought to be no marked in
crease in the price of tomatoes, and the shortage
OF the corn pack is more than made up by the in
crease in tomatoes.
The figures quoted above show the Importance
OF this Peninsula as packing center New fac
tories have been erected in Delaware and the ones
that are conducted in businesslike manner have
been successful This industry is steadily increas-
ing in Importance in the State, and it is extending
its scope to include the canning of products other
than tomatoes

Those willing hands have at last found
rest,
And folded lie upon your silent breast;
No more in friendships warm and
gentle grasp
Shall we e'er feel or TO our own e'er
clasp.
Those loving eyes to every care have
closed.
And from all earthly toll have found
repose;
Meier more from them a merry glance
Wen meet,
Or tender look cur longing hearts e'er
greet.
No more that tall majestic form wen
see,
Until in Heaven we meet eternally;
There with the (HosD of Saints and

His lonely spirit has at last found

Cokesbury school, near here. to such an

BLOWS 1000 FROM BEDS

NEW YORK. Aug l5.-Hurling
every occupant OF the house from their

dynamite bomb was exploded early

agents. More than A thousand scant-
lily clad Italians living In tn ehouse
and tenements adjoining rushed TO the
street and for more than an hour
great excitement prevailed.
The bomb. the police declare. was
intended for Leopold Paccelli, a
wealthy grocer living on the first
floor OF the house and who refused
10 give $4,000 10 the blackmailers.
Mrs. Paccili and her four sons had
