IN THE SENATE.

His Democratic critics can find no good in
4 4 Senator dupont This is natural No
matter what he does, he displeases them
newspaper that has as its chief asset personal
spite or whim cannot be expected TO see any
thing good in q person marked as the victim of
its, spleen.
The fit Of Mysteries over the proposal of SEN
ator DUPONT 20 make a slight increase in the
tariff on potatoes is still in evidence. We have
no doubt that Senator dupont would be will
ling to chip in and create fund for any million
aire who fears that he may have to pay few
cents more for his potatoes when he totes"
his market basket through King street to buy
his potatoes. 1t is indeed a mournful spectacle
to contemplate, this fear of the increase in the
price of potatoes by those who would have po-
toes if they wanted them whether they were
FIVE cents or FIVE dollars bushel But If Col
onel dupont would make pledge to pay the
extra amount we do not believe he would be
called upon to disgorge any considerable sum-
Some light is thrown upon the reason why
Senator dupont emade his potato proposal bv
an article in one of the Dover papers this week
II told Of the interest farmers are displaying in
the cultivation of potatoes More and more
acres are being cultivated and there promises to
be some regular potato farms in Kent county
Already the producers of potatoes are prepar-
ing TO have buyers visit the potato centers just
as they 60 to the fruit districts for the purpose
OF purchasing fruit The organizations of the
being encouraged by the fact that there were
large importations OF potatoes from abroad last
year
We do not fancy that there will be trust Of
potatoes. Certainly there will be no trust of po-
toto growers in Delaware and hence the price
7i potatoes is not likely to increase because the
supply OF potatoes will not be limited. Sena-

Ono Abuse Of Proteetion.

Hartford Courant
No reader Of the Courant doubts
that II advocates the policy of protec-
ton. Where we part company with
the stand-patters is that we believe
in a protection that protects Ameri-
cans.
The policy Of protecting manufac-
tories which sell their goods cheaper
to foreigners than 20 the people who
give them protection is what we can
not stand for. It is protection, but
for the other fellow at our expense.
The familiar case e steel rails often
quoted, cannot be cited too often. II
is Acknowledged that the same article
is sold SS a ton cheaper out of this
country than in it. If a man starts
railroad to run from this country
into another. he can buy all his rails
in Pittsburg and get those that he
uses across the border for Ss less per
ton than those he uses in his own
country.
Is this patriotism or in the public
interest? If, as stated yesterday. cash
registers made in Ohio are sold in
London for half what they bring in
Chicago, is that protection for this
country? One explanation is that
this process is simply dumping the
surplus" on the foreigners. But against
that explanation lies the fact that
these same concerns go on adding Ia
their production so as to have a larg-
er surplus to dump. They charge us
who protect them, twice as much as
they charge the people Of other coun-
tries. That is our reward for extend
ing the privilege of protection to them
II ought to be that whenever such
practices are discovered they should
meet with some sort Of recognition
The simplest seems to be free and
uninterrupted permission TO admit to
ports in this country anything made
I'm the United States. II a man car
buy cash register in London for $3.50
that costs $500 here. let him send over
and get il and have it shipped TO htn
here az home.

tor duPonts effort therefore, to increase the
duty on potatoes is not apt to damage the
pocket books of any consumer Quite the re-
verse may be expected. His critics say that
Senator dupont is voting reckessly, but there
is nothing to substantate this view We think
that he is voting for what he believes will bene-
fit his constituents and Delaware and that he is
showing a commendable independence. He
did not vote on the paper schedule and on some
other schedules in accordance with what some
of his friends would have expected, but he has
shown disposition TO be his own man and to
act according to hs best lights He has not
been a mere blind voting machine dominated
by the clique that seems to be in control of the
Senate His critics will be unable to make
point of partisan advantage against the Senator
If the Democrats had Senator in Washington
the probabilities are that he would have been
lined up with the Democratic crowd that has
thrown over the Denver platform and put al

GEORGIA PEACH CROP
IS SHORT THIS YEAR

The Georgia peach crop is going to
prove a disappointment. At least, that is
the belief Of the managers Of local fruit
houses. who are in touch with Southern
growers. The disappointment will be not
so much in the quality Of the fruit as in
the curtailed supply.
In few Of the Georgia sections the crop
viii begin moving North next week. In
other sections it VIII not start until Jtly
10. The Elbertas and Carmen will be the
two varieties OF peaches shipped princi-
pally and the latter will be marketed prob
ably a week in advance OF the Elbertas.
The falling off in the Georgia peach crop
this year viii be from 25 to 60 per cent.
Prospects, however, are that the fruit
win be Of good quality. and should bring
good prices.

The New Melon
Washington Post
1t was through the energy and enthu-
siasm OF Mr.. Horace G. Knowles. form
erly minister to Roumania, that, some
time since, the bureau of fisheries was en-
abled to secure some millions Of young
sturgeon from the Danube for the re-
stocking of our own depleted streams. Mr..
Knowles has again shown his zeal I'm de-
string to get the best for the Omitted states
that the world affords by introducing to
the Department Of Agriculture new
watermelon. This melon. said TO be one Of
the most luscious of the fruits of Rou-
mania, may be destined to take equal rank
on the table Of the epicure with the can
taloepe. 1t is Of delicate appearance and
flavor, thin-skinned. golden or scarlet
fieshed, and no larger than a grapefruit
On account Of its size it can be daintily
served as a dish for one or two persons,
a thing hardly possible with the Georgia
watermelon.
Here Is one Illustration of an admirable
work which the State Department and the
Department of Agriculture have been do
ing in conjunction, and about which there
has been very little blowing Of horns. The
State Department IS to be commended for
the encouragement It has given its repre-
sentatives to introduce into this country
any new and useful products OF the coun-
tries to which they are accredited. The
Agricultural Department is no less TO be
praised for the ready way in which IL
seizes upon some new fruit or vegetable,
and, by series Of experiments at the sew
eral experimental stations. is soon in a
position to encourage the cultivation of
the new product in the lands best suited

THE TROLLEY ACCIDENT.

II HE Wilmington City Railway Company as
4 result Of the accident the other evening
is having troubles of its own and we are not
inclined at this time to make any extended COM
ment on the matter We may add that this ac-
cident following the protests of the Holly Oak
people should thoroughly arouse the owners of
the company to make a complete inspection OF
the road to see that the apparatus IS in good
condition and that the road is properly
equipped
The company, of course, cannot create intal-
libe motormen and infallible conductors. Men
make mistakes and are liable to err All men
are careless at times. The only thing the COM
panv can do is to see that proper equipment IS
employed and that the road is managed IN
modern manner using due precautions Wheth-
er such precautions were employed is a qnes-
ton that will be decided during the investga-
ton.
But really in such matters the people, the
community at large as represented by the law
makers, arc much to blame. We have not serl-
ouslv dealt with the problem of speeding auto
mobiles and we have done practically nothing
towards regulating public service corporations.
II does seem as if it were about time that we
should have an electrical bureau to inspect all
electrical appliances and see that they conform
~ certain regulations. We have no doubt how
ever. that the company will make rigid nves-
t6aton of the accident and that IN the iuture
travel will be made safer on this troHey nne'
With the Democrats standing, as they say ior

COLE AND HOT WEATHER.

IT HAT the fine game of golf develops marvel
\ Gus powers of endurance and ability to
withstand the heat admits Of no doubt Those
who have witnessed the play of the devotees
of the sport at the Country Club during the
heated term must be convinced of this fact
Every time the big golf tournament begins,
Old Sol decides to wage war on the golfers and
makes a drive at them putting his most intense
rays, but Old Soils efforts result in foozle. He
cannot make itztoo hot for the golfers. There
may be prostratons in the city, men may be
forced to stop work out doors, but not SO with
your genuine golier The hotter it is the more
he likes it, His enthusiasm mounts with the
heat. He does not have to read the advice OF
doctors as TO proper precautions for hot wealth
err He just plays golf and that is the end
OF IT,
Indeed the training is splendid from physi-
cal point of view. There is something peculiarly
inspiring about the game which enables mid
die aged men as well as young men to pursue
it in defiance of the heat If these middle aged
men or even the young men were to labor in a
harvest field during weather like this, we tear
that some OF them would not be able TO bear
up Perhaps they might be affected unfavorably

horseback during weather like yesterday
But the enthusiasm and inspiration OF goli
makes one immune from the attacks OF heat.
The powers of endurance OF the golfers are be
yond comprehension Who ever heard a golfer
say. Is ii hot enough for You? In TACT, II hot
weather continues. we shall not be surprised to
learn that the golfers will be asking Tor over
