Editorial
Opinion
Mr.. Hastings for Mayor.

Mr.. Hastings for Mayor.
Hartford, Conn, courant.
We learn from the Morning News Of
wilmington, Del, that the Republicans
OF that city arc strongly disposed TO name
Washington Hastings as their next capdi-
date for mayor. The Courant does not Nish
10 butt into a purely local matter in which
it has no concern; but we will venture to
say that the nomination and election Of
Mr.. Hastings as mayor OF Wilmington
would secure capable administration OF
the affairs OF that city. Mr.. Hastings voted
in Wilmington in 1855 for Fremont; he has
fine intellectual tastes. and during his re-
sponsible business career gave to every
man in his employ a square deal; and his
civic spirit has been continuously shown
by diligent and often influential interest
IN the public affairs OF Delaware and Of
the nation.

PROTEST BY WOMEN.

IT HE longer the delay in passing the tariff
y bill now before Congress the greater the
trouble is likely to be. Out in Chicago the wo-
men are thoroughly aroused over the large in
crease in the tariff on women's and chiljrens
gloves and other things that women use, such
as toilet articles. In the Illinois city the other
day 100000 women signed petitions protesting
against the increase OF duty A mob of women
beseiged the protest headquarters long before
they were opened, and the headquarters had to
be moved into larger building. Signing sta
tions. that is, places where the petitions could
be signed, were opened in the Chicago depart
ment stores and there was a regular bargain
counter rush of protesting women. Telephones
were kept busy ringing by women in all parts OF
Illinois asking that their names be attached TO
the petitions
The protests are being prepared under the
auspices of the League Of Cook County Wo-
mems Clubs which expects to send to Washing
ton protest against the tariff increases with
half million signatures. A general petition
day is to be fixed and the school children are
to enlist in the cause. Prizes are being offered
bv some of the largest department stores TO the
children who secure the most signatures to the
petitions.
In other parts of the country the movement
is spreading and Uncle Joe Cannon, before the
bill is enacted, Is likely TO receive a shock that
will at least jolt that long and wicked looking
cigar from his mouth. At last the consumer is
being heard. The Chicago people have it that
the proposed increase in the tariff on gloves is
the result Of bargain between Speaker Cannon
and Former Congressman Lucius ~. Littauer
the wealthy manufacturer of gloves. The con-
sumner, who is usually regarded as a more or less
fictitious parsonage in the making of tariff bills
seems to nave been aroused from long sleep

MUSIC IN THE PARK.

MITH summer not far distant thoughts turn
upon the life in a city during the sum
mer season. While the vacation habit has grown
considerably and people take more vacations
during the heated term than ever before, the
vast majority OF the residents of the city spend
the heated term within its walls. A short va
cation, day now and then in the country, a
trip on the trolley or on the river by boat and
a Sunday outing make up their recreation and
relaxation from the cares of every day life
Wilmington is blessed with fine parks and
VIC are becoming blessed with Fairgrounds for
children during the heated term, thanks To the
humanitarian spirit that has been so much in
evidence OF late.
1t is doubtful if any other city. all things con-
sidered has more beautiful park than has Will
mngton, and yet il is not used not enjoyed as
much by the thousands of every day people in
the city as il should be- To be sure pleasant
Sundays large gatherings in the park If
there is anything at all TO attract the people they
90 there in droves. Ii takes very little to please
them. The free ZOO exhibition is a real pleasure
TO thousands of hardworking people and their
children who gather at the park on a Sunday af-
ternoon. 1t has been interesting to the grown
folks as well as to the children.
Why would it not be well during the heated
term to have band concerts frequently in the
park? The expense would not be very great
The city might contribute to the expense and
public spirited citizens could help with fund
Tor TINS purpose. we spend thousands OF dol
lars on the parks. The roads are we'll kept ana
used by persons with automobiles and other We
hicles but owners of such form only small
percentage of the population of the city.
If the city does so much to keep the park in
repair for the pleasure of the drivers and riders
it might do something for the benefit of those
who are not drivers and riders. but who are tax
payers. They would get a great deal of pleasure
out of band concerts in Brandywine Park, for
example To be sure we have our summer re-
sort parks to which thousands of people go. but
some Of the thousands cannot afford many trips
even to these places A free concert in Brandy
wine Park would be pleasure to thousands of
people and they deserve that pleasure at the ex-
pense of the municipality if necessary.

Even in Philadelphia there is some objection
to tax lodging. Mayor Reyburn i'll his annual
message calls for more rigid and equitable
bic assessment of property. The tax dodging
evil. the Mayor says is responsible for the imam
cial situation confronting Philadelphia. lie
saws that the assessment is lax and that the
amount OF property exempted from taXauon aur-
mo the last twenty years has doubled. 1t APP
nears that cemetery companies, railway and
electric light corporations hold property in Phil
adelphia on which no taxes are paid. Accord
inc TO the Mayor the corporations are taking
advantage Of privileges permitted by the law;
~ sas77e oId story. evidently But why should
,,,brc service corporations have privileges that
ar9'' are not granted to citizens? In Philadelphia
such condition is not surprising but no city
not wholly given over to boss or corporation rule
should permit the authorities to discriminate
against citizens for the benefit OF these corpo-
rations.

THE LOWER COUNTIES.

W ERY few of the State papers complain OF
the fact that several State institutions
are located in this county or of the appropria-
tons devoted to their support by the State. We
cannot understand why the Dover State News
should be so much distressed whenever it thinks
of Farnhurst or Of the County Workhouse.
AT the beginning of the Legislative session an
attempt was made to arouse interest in the old
plan of committing the convicts of Kent and
Sussex counties to the iails of those counties
but the suggestion caused such storm of dis
approval that it quickly dropped. In the
lower counties arc very few people indeed, who
would want TO return TO the old method OF keep
Dover
The workhouse at Greenbank is we'll MANAGED
and the present method of caring for prisoners is
far better than that formerly employed.
The same may be said of the State Hospital
at Farnhurst. Who in Delaware would want to
return to the old and cruel manner of caring for
the insane at the county almshouses' Such in
stitutions as the workhouse and the hospital at
Farnhufst are civilized methods of caring for
convcts and the insane and they should be sup
ported heartily, no matter in what part OF the
State the institutions may be located.
The appropriations passed for the support OF
these institutions arc not appropriations for the
particular benefit of New Castle county, as some
seem to fancy. And if they were 1t should be
remembered that from this county pours vast
sum into the State treasury.
The New Castle county members of the Cen
era Assembly have, as the News acknowledges,
shown generous disposition towards the low
er counties in dealing with those counties. The
New Castle men were in favor OF fine State
House building We see no reason why kent
or Sussex should have any disposition to
Sian at this county Fortunately very little OF
such disposition is manifest. 1t seems TO be
confined to our one Dover contemporary

CURTISS "GOING SOME.v
Aeropiane Flight OF Nearly 25 Miles
On Long Island.

Mineola, N. Y, July ia climax
20 the aeroplane flights Glenn H. Cur
tiss has been making at Hampstead
Plains, l.. L., with increasing success.
came today when he sent his flyer
Z4.7 miles In SO minutes and 80 Sec
onds, and qualified as the first candi-
GATE for the cup offered by the Scien-
tific American.
This flight is not only Curtiss' best
but the longest made with an aero
plane this year. The cup was offered
for the longest flight Of this kind DUR
ing the current year, the only condi-
ton being that the winner must cover
at least rs kilometers over a meas
ured course before judges of the Aero
Club of America and land within one
hundred metres of the starting point.
Curtiss came to earth today barely
within the required distance, but the
judges decided in his favor. He will
win the Scientific American Gun.
which he also captured last year at
Hammondsport, N. Y, unless his
flight is excelled before the end of
the year.
Curtiss rose easily and circled the
course at variety of attitudes, show
ing that he had his machine well in
hand. AT times his speed increased
to forty-five miles an hour but the
average for the whole distance was
2S Ia miles an hour. At no time did
ne rise above sixty feet, and most of
the time he sped along within fifteen
or twenty feet of the ground.
AT the beginning of the twentieth
round, he encountered a strong head
wind, and fearing that his gasoline
would fail before he could make an
other round he shut off his motor and
descended. After alighting he found
that he still had two quarts Of fuel
left. enough to have carried him sew
cral miles further.
After yesterdays flight" said the
-aeronaut. II was never in doubt about
breaking all records for this year. I
remained up in the air as long as the
wine was safe."
