TROUBLES OF STREET RAILWAYS.

- He campaign for improved trolley cond-
u tons in Trenton, where there has been
considerable of an agitation, is beginning to bear
fruit, according to the Trenton Times. The
Trenton Street Car Company will secure eight
of the large type OF pay-as-you-enter cars which
have been ordered for use on the main street Of
the city.
A question is raised however, whether the cars
can be run on the dilapidated tracks OF the COM
pany. II is also said that there is 10 be an over
hauling of the overhead construction. Evident
" street railway conditions i'll the New Jersey
capital must be bad
The Times adds that new trolley car in
Trenton will be novelty as no new cars have
been added to the equipment for dozen years.
Some years ago the then president of the line
operated in Trenton explained that the cars in
use on the railway were largely secondhand,
some Of them having cost only $Ioo each In
Trenton the company now has sixty-two closed
cars in use and the additional ones will bring
the total up to seventy cars to be operated on
seventy-two miles Of track. The City Council
of Trenton is also preparing to adopt ordinances
which WILL in a measure, make the service bet
ter.
We rccite the trouble in Trenton to show that
some cities are frequently complaining Of their
trolley conditions and the part that the city
authorities take in trying to make matters bet
ter. In Trenton it has been asserted that the
trolley company is an investment that pays
well.
Ii seems to us as it always has seemed, that
the troubles between citizens and public service
corporations, particularly street railway COM
panies, are due to overcaptazation of the cor
porations. Some years ago it was trouble 10
float bonds or stock OF any enterprise that had
the nature Of public service corporation.
Such corporations have. monopostic rights
and their earnings have been supposed to be
large But there is limit to the earning ca
pacity Of a public service corporation.
When the managers Of such enterprises en-
deavor to make big rate Of interest on their
stocks, and TO pay the interest on their
bonds, they are often pinched with the result
that the public suffers because Of poor and in
adequate service We believe that is at the root
Of most of the trouble.
The matter is pertinent iii this city because 81

DOMINATION by TRUSTS.

4 a result of the far reaching movement
= against meat it looks as if the consumption
of that article would be seriously curtaed. AS
was to be expected the packers preparing to
cope with the emergency. dealer in the West
says that he has been informed by the packers
that if the demand for meat is curtailed the
supply will be cut shorter. and the packers will
wait for an advance in price.
That is one effect OF "a trust domination and
control of commodities. People are best off and
industry is carried on to the greatest advantage
when production is free, when commodities are
plentiful. AS civilization progresses in coun-
try as young as ours commodities should be-
come more plentiful and men should get more
and more for their labor--that is, be able TO
purchase more things for their days labor than
they could in cruder society
But just at this point the privately owned
trust steps in curtails supply puts up prices
It used to be argued in favor OF trusts
Socialists talk that way, though they say the
government should own the trusts-that under
efficient management such as obtains in trusts,
articles could be produced cheaper, with less
loss and with labor more efficiently directed
and the consumers would get more for their
money. This is true to an extent and it would
be true if it were possible to have the chimerica
idea Of government control in operation But
with trusts privately owned, we see that their
purpose is not to manage things efficiently and
produce an abundance Of goods at low prices
but to restrict production and create higher than
normal prices.
In measure this applies to the beef trust It
is nonsense TO say that the pressure of popua-
tion on the country is great that the agricul-
tural regions cannot produce sufficiently to
support our population without the extraordinary
high prices of meat and other things which are
causing so much complaint.

our RURAL SCHOOL SYSTEM.

- He conference recently held at the Young
D. Mems Christian Association building cannot
but result in good for the public school system OF
the state the rural schools in particular Mr.
Charles l.. Moore, of Georgetown,s one of the
state commissioners, has devoted much thought
to the question and little wonder is it that he
was able to riddle the "seventy-one year old
system from Alpha to Omega.
Most of the suggestions were highly practical
For example, the present method of the collect
ion OF school taxes is ridiculous. AS was said
S5f~tflis method were changed there would be
saved $4,000 for the schools. The expense of
collecting is much too high and the only thing
that one might say in defense of the present
plan is that il provides Jobs for men as collectors
Doubtless there are inequalities III school
assessments as there arc inequalities in other
kinds of assessments in the rural as we'll as in
the city districts
The system OF school commissioners should
be done away with and a county board should be
selected as suggested The present system Of
rural school boards is inefficient Many Of the
voters in district take little or no interest n
school elections and often men are chosen COM
missioners from that class Of men who arc al
ways wanting some sort of public office merely
for the sake Of holding office
The management Of schools is or should be
trained business. Competent school superin-
tendents should not be hampered by commission
ers who know little about schools and who can
not be expected to be informed as to the devel-
oprnent Of educational methods
Mr. Moore spoke Of some forms OF graft, of
petit larceny, whatever that may mean. All
graft should be stamped out at once.
1t was also suggested that medical examin-
ing board should inquire into the health con-
ditions surrounding the children. We are about
10 have this in Wilmington 1t may be some
time before there are examining boards in the
rural regions but they should come Such eX-
amnations Of pupils are as important as their
-.,o< ~, hcpl-s for the object nf cfuca-
tionai training is TO produce an all round young
person physically and mentally fit for the battle
of life
The question OF a State Normal School was
also brought up at the conference and it should
be an easy matter to establish such school IN
connection with Delaware College.
The more OF these conferences the better. as
there is hardly man familiar with the school
system Of the state who does not agree with the
opinions OF the conferees.

she read there had been no attempt to

that somehow he and Lee had been ar

1% if Mr. T. Coleman dupont and Senator
DUPONT would retire from politics They have
been a sharp thorn in the Democratic ribs. II
Mr.. dupont does quit-and he has withdrawn
temporarily from active politics-it will not be
because of any assaults that the Democrats may
make upon him but on account Of his health
Of course, the presence of Senator dupont at
Washington, is and has been sore spot with
the Democrats. Do they imagine that he can
be driven from political life in Delaware by
these vicious assaults prompted in some in
stances by the personal jealouses and ambitions
of men who seek to succeed him?
1t was not SO many years ago that some of
these very men who have been assailng the
Senator for months past were praising him and
commenting him as a Senator. At one time dur
ing the sessions of the Legislature they were
very willing to take one seat in the Senate if
any of them could get it, while he could have
the other. The truth is, it is largely a matter
of personal enmity coupled with desire to break
down the Republican organization--the leaders
OF the party.
Had there been only wish to break down the
organization these same sinister influences would
have assailed Senator Richardson, but instead
