CREDIT ENOUGH TO GO AROUND.

HE fact that our Senators and Representa-.
u tive in Congress have made good record
in securing appropriations for Delaware to the
great delight of the people of the State, seems
to be greatly worrying the Denieeratic brethren.
They are wildly hitting back trying to make
out that the Delaware delegation has done moth
ing of repute and is not entitled to credit or
even thanks.
Former Attorney General White who Is
candidate for the Democratic nomination for
Congress- is more far seeing than the captious
Democratic critics, for realizing their good work,
he promises if nominated and elected TO Con
gress, 10 follow, at least partly in their foot
steps He knows that one OF the duties of
member of Congress is TO look after the interests
of his constituents and he promises to labor for
the welfare OF the people of Sussex county, and
the remainder of the State we shall add gratu-
itouslv for him. That is much better attitude
to assume than merely making faces.
The Democratic critics are trying TO get up
row between friends of DR.. Burton and the pres
eni delegatioT-rt w Washington The name of Dr.
Burtnn ~ beino NNSed-and without his consent
Ne believe-in foGble cffort'to make Demo-
cratic capital No one desires 10 take away any
credit from Dr. Burtanf for the excellent
work he did while member of Congress. Every
one comedies that he made good member OF
Congress. If his friends want credit for help
ing to secure the appropriations by laying the
foundation when he member of Congress
we do not believe any one will object. Certainly
The Journal will not But when it was recalled
that our delegation at Washington had secured
these appropriations including two public build
inps for small towns, reference was made TO pres
cnt and not to past history The attempt OF
Democratic critics to create i'll feeling is small
trick which needs only to be mentioned TO be
exploded.

WAR ON TOLL GATES.

f. HE toll gate nuisance is the subject Of con-
~ siderable discussion in Delaware county
Pa
That county is particularly afflicted The
most impressive thing about ride through Del
aware county is the fact that almost every mo-
ment the traveller oonfronts toll gate.
The traveller is held up, and he wonders why
in county so rich and prosperous as Delaware
county travel is not free. 1t ought to be
free
The surprise is that residents of Delaware
county should submit to the toll gate hold-up
without vigorous protest. Just as surprising is
it as the fact that three of the most important
roads leading from Wilmington are blocked by
toll gates, despite the fact that the county IS
heavily bonded for road purposes and is spend
ing considerable money for maintaining her
highways
The County Commissioners of Delaware
county believe that the seven miles of toll road
on the Chester and Darby Turnpike should be
abolished. They will support the bill which
will be considered by the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture to abolish toll roads. Seven years ago
condemnation proceedings we're begun in the
Delaware County Courts to have the Chester
turnpike toll ROAD abolished larry set the
price at $4,000 for the purchase Of the road
which links the small towns between Chester
and Philadelphia
The company appealed to the courts, and the
case has never been finally settled In the mean
time the company continues 70 collect toll.
The agitation however, is for the State to
own and maintain the turnpkes

rREsPAssING ON RAILROADS.

pEOPLE read of the great number Of per-
Il sons killed on the railroads. Only the
other day we noticed that in comparing things
in this country with those in Europe the point
was made that our railroading was crude be
cause the figures show that many more persons
are killed on railroads in this country than in
Europe.
Such critics perhaps do not consider the vast
number of killed who are killed wholly through
their own fault and not because of the negligence
of the railroads. Take the case OF trespassers.
The average number OF trespassers killed on
the railroads is fifteen a day. despite the extra
ordinary efforts the companies are making to
prevent such slaughter. During the last eleven
wears more than $4,000 persons have been KILL
ed and more than 5000 have been MANNED.
The companies, especially the Pennsylvania
Company. by wholesale arrests of trespassers,
have endeavored to cut down this appalling
death list, but they have not been encouraged to
do so bv local authorities as they should be
In the thiclSly settled parts of the country
MANY people thoughtlessly use the railroad
propertv as thoroughfares and short cut routes,
or for Fairgrounds, and the number of acct
dents among this class OF people is growing very
large intoxicated men are killed almost with
out limit because they trespass on railroad
property. They are likely to select railroad tracks
10 walk on or as place to sleep They meet
sure death or serious injury
We presume that the chief objection the rail
road companies have to trespassers is because
of the danger to them. The policing Of the
railroad tracks and the arrests OF trespassers are
to safeguard the public and the railroad com
panies should be supported and not condemned
by public officials.

PAST AND PRESENT.

HE Democratic newspaper prints long list
u of eminent men and alleged eminent men
who have represented Delaware at Washing
ton in times past and declares that they rendered
distinguished services TO their state and coun-
try-that they were statesmen in fact We are
to be led to think OF them in sort OF ancestor
worship way. Well, The Journal was never very
strong on political ancestor worship, and
may be sinner in that respect Some of the
eminent men named did great things no doubt,
but think the records of some of the others
would not take very large filing cabinet 70
hold them
The lesson drawn, however, is that the peo-
pie of Delaware Judged these men by their great
statesmanlike service and we fancy that they
were too lofty to think of what is popularity
called the pork barrel No doubt they were.
for in the long years of the past they got, out
side of Wilmington, one public building in Del
aware, and they never seemed to try very car
nestly TO get another. Some of them appeared
to-he-0utNof reach of their constituents.
Then itNseeuls that the Democrats tpiuk the
Republicans rest their whole case on the fact
that appropriations secured for Della
ware. Not at all The Congress which recently
adjourned, among other things. passed a rail
road bill which affects Delaware directly, for il
will prevent the determinations against shippers

the active supporters of that measure and work
