Raising Of the Maine.

Raising Of the Maine.
New York Tribune.
There will be deep and widespread graf
ifcation at the action Of the House OF
Representatives in passing Mr.. Loud's 3
bill for the raising and removal OF the
wreck of the Maine and the proper dispo-
stion of the remains Of the crew which
may be found. The reasons for such work
are numerous and urgent, while not one
has been presented against II which is or
serious weight.
We owe it "a Spain and to ourselves
that the wreck should be carefully raised
and expertly and publicly examined, 50
as to secure from it the fullest and most
convincing evidence concerning the cause
and character Of the disaster II the first
explosion was external no Spaniard should
object to the establishment OF the fact.
II il was internal no American should
hesitate to have the truth proclaimed.
We owe Il to Cuba that her principal har-
Dor shall be freed from an obstruction
which Is dangerous to commerce and in
creaslngly embarrassing to navigation.
We owe II to the dead, to their survivors
and to our national honor and self-respect
that the bodies Of those who perish in
our service shall have more decent md
reverent sepulture than they have found
in the ooze Of the harbor bottom.

STRAWBERRIES IN MARYLAND.

TN the court house at Snow Hill, Md, recently
u a meeting was held under the auspices of the
Board of Trade of that town. at which the culti-
walton of small fruits was discussed. One Of
the most interesting speakers was a Delaware
farmer living in Sussex county. lie spoke of
the berry glory of Sussex. Ten years ago, he
declared, the part of Sussex from which he came
was practically a moneyless region, but this
poverty stricken area is now supporting six
banks and the real estate values have increased
from 200 TO 400 per cent.
The section of the county had been cut up
into strawberry farms and by the of refriger-
ator cars the berries arc landed in the New York
and Boston markets almost as fresh as when
they left the field.
The Maryland farmers were so impressed
with the statement that before the meeting adj
journed arrangements were made to plant 200
acres in berries, and the farmers about Snow
Hill intend to rival those of Sussex county.
Forty farmers will each plant five acres in the
fruit II is desired to make Snow Hill the cen
ter Of the strawberry industry in that part Of
Maryland. The Maryland country, it would
seem, should be adapted to strawberry cutiva-
ton. Parts of the eastern shore have been
almost transformed by the fruit culturists.

WELFARE on CHILDREN.

n NE of the charitable enterprises which IS
~ accomplishing great and good work is the
National Child Conference for Research and
Welfare which will meet in Boston during the
latter part of June. 1t has for its object the con-
servaton of the best asset that we have-the
children. AT this conference all sorts OF things
pertaining TO the welfare of children are con
sidered. The place of the juvenile court and
the playground association and similar matters
are considered as we'll as the responsibility OF
the municipal government for children
During recent years the scope Of the muni-
cipality as it concerns children has largely
widened. The city is coming more and more to
realize its responsibility The care of the school
boards over children is widening and everything
that pertains to the welfare of children receives
more earnest attention than ever before.
Wilmington has made considerable progress
in these matters. Last wear our Fairgrounds
proved very beneficial and the promise is that
their number will be increased. Some other
cities OF our size, like Reading, for instance. arc
behind us in this municipal progress The in.
venile court question has been advocated here
by some of our earnest citizens and it is only a
question of time before we shall have some sort
of juvenile court. The recent proceedings
against some children and their parents under
the compulsory school law showed the need OF
some method of dealing with such cases different
from that OF the ordinary police court Many
cities have juvenile courts and the story of the
good they accomplish makes one wish we had

elections on the assumption that the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments TO the constitution
are null and void so far as they relate to that
state has not met with the approval Of all the
Democratic statesmen at the capital
Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, although he
approves of the ballot for every man who is in
telligent enough to it. thinks the issue raised
in Maryland would offer an excellent opportun-
ity for testing the legality of the amendments.
Senator Money, of Mississippi the Demo
cratic leader OF the upper house, does not think
much Of the Maryland scheme. lie says that
it is foolish for that state to contend that it has
exemptions under the constitution The court
will hold, Mr.. Money says, that Maryland is as
much bound by the amendments whether she
ratified them or not, as any other state Senator
Bailey was rather non-committal in his express
sons. There is little likelihood that the Mary

"'Who is the artist?" the friend
asked
"'His name is George-George-let me
see.-I have IL written down on a memo
randum.' and Mr.. Beecher took from
pocket small memorandum book and
consulted It. oh, yes he cried, it's In
ness--George Inness.'
Together the two men went to the
studio Of Inness, and spent a couple OF
hours there. Mr.. Beecher was in the
seventh heaven Of delight lie did not
profess to be an art critic, nor an ex-
pert, but he knew what he liked and why,
and as he and his friend left the studio
he said earnestly 10 the latter: Z pre-
dict that this man Inness will become
recognized some day as the greatest Of
American landscape painters-that he will
become one OF the immortals among
artists
"That happened in the late sixties-and,
do you know. pretty soon it began to be
passed from one to another that Henry
Ward Beecher had discovered an obscure
artist and predicted that he would become
recognized as the greatest of American
landscape painters laymen began to flock
TO Inness's studio, rich men began to buy
his pictures, the artists name and those
OF his works began TO creep into the
newspapers-and. at last. and in brief,
George Inness became as famous as Henry
Ward Beecher had prophesied.
IL sometimes wonder" concluded Mr..
Twachtman, what would have been In
ness's fate had not Henry Ward Beecher
dlSaovered him in most accidental way7
Would he have had 20 die to gain fame,
as has been the case with so many 9TH
cr artists? And how small part OF that
fortune which ne won with his brush
the greatest gained through work by any
American artist up to his time-would
he have enjoyed in life7"

Taxation-But Not for Revenue Pur-
poses.
Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL
The constitution OF the United. States au-
thorlzes Congress to lay and collect tax
es duties, impost and exercises" The pur
pose OF this authorization is to enable
Congress to provide sufficient revenue to
carry on the Government and to provide
for the defense OF the nation. In other
words the taxing power OF Congress is
restricted to the raising revenue for Gov
ernment needs. This being a fact. any
exercise OF the taxing power must have
back Of II the justification that IL pro-
duces revenue. And, IL must also be free
from the suspicion that tho tax which
is imposed Is designed to create other ef-
fects than the prod ction OF revenue for
the Government. OF course. the first
thing that occurs 10 the reader in this
connection Is the tariff tax on imported
articles. If the provision quoted In the
constitution we're the only thing that jus
tilted the tariff its defense might be much
more difficult than It is. The constitu-
tion also gives Congress the power TO
regulate commerce with foreign nations
so that imposition Of a prohibitory tax
on the products of another perhaps need
not be limited to the purpose OF produc-
ing revenue for the national treasury.
Keeping the foregoing facts In view.
consider what has been done in taxing
butterine.
Examination Of the United States inter
nal revenue reports discloses that from
1895 to 1902 the receipts from the . cent
tax on butterine mounted TO sl3.5s2, ,26s
Since the enactment OF the Grout, 10 cent
tax law-l9O3 TO 19O9-lt has fallen to So
1851, decrease OF more than $780,
000
This diminutlon Of revenue from butter
inc has taken place notwithstanding the
fact that there has been increased ac-
tivity I'm all lines OF industry and in the
general consumption OF food products by
the people, and demand for increased

rRf PROPER CARE Of nILcLnIH

Oilcloth should not be swept with a
straw broom or scrubbed with a stiff
brush. Instead, sweep with a soft hair
brush and wipe off with lukewarm
water in which has been dissolved tea
spoonful of Gold Dust washing powder
and rinse with clear, warm water.
Where oilcloth is losing its shiny
surface, wash as above, then dissolve a
little ordinary glue in a pint of hot
water. At night go over the whole
carefully with a flannel dipped in glue
water. Choose a dry day and by
morning the glue will be hard; it will

rAFr AS A DIPLOMAT.

N RESIDENT TAFT deserves credit for
l. bringing about an adjustment of the dis
pute with Canada growing out of our trade rea-
tions with the Dominion under the new tariff
law The other day conferences were held in
Washington, the Canadians being represented
by two of their ministers
1t IS intimated that although there will be no
reciprocity treaty at present, there will be an
understanding which will assume that Canada
is not unduly discriminating against our products
and so there will be no occasion for the decla-
ration bv the President of the maximum rates
on Canadian goods.
Perhaps a reciprocity arrangement will soon
be agreed upon which will be satisfactory TO
both sides Canada is one Of our best customers
and our trade is constantly increasing with her.
The President has handled the delicate matter
in satisfactory manner
