SHOCKING

n BLOW, sad and hard, has fallen to the lot
IA of a number of prominent citizens" Their
badge of pull" has been rudely snatched from
them in little printed missiVe telling them that
hereafter they must dig into their pockets and
produce the nickels when they ride on the cars
of the Wilmington and Philadelphia Traction
Company
And how the conductors must nile as they see
the city officials and the other "promnents" with
pull give up the coin.
Several years ago the Delaware Railroad Com
pany cut out passes and the politicians and prom.
inents" survived, although it took them some time
TO recover from the shock. And for awhile the
early morning train up from down the state
looked somewhat bare and barren because of the
absence of the pass holders who rode BY courtesy
of the railroad company. What the railroad COM
pany ever got in return for the passes except a
plentiful supply of hot air" from the pass hold
ers whenever necessary we do not know Ger
tainly we have not noticed any change in the leg
islative attitude towards the Delaware Railroad
Company.
But the lightning has struck right in Whining
ton. And it may be blow that will almost kill
the city fathers and others, but we hope that il
will not. The distinguished citizens who have
been the benehciaries of the mild form of graft
which accompanies a street railway pass will not
do much protesting They may feel conscious
ness that they are now the level with other
folk.
To relieve the sad state Of affairs caused by the
withdrawal of the passes, Governor Pennewill
might appoint all those who have lost their passes
colonies on an auxiliary staff to show that they
are still Of the elect, and we should have regi.
ment of colonies almost as large as the regiment
of the organized militia.

last season with Boston he won
twenty-one of his thirty-two games.
Last year he was Cleveland's most
consistent winner.
Young tried for his 500th victory in
this city last week, but met more than
his match in young Russell Ford Of
our own Yankees, who pitched a one
hit game. In that game Young
ielded his position with remark
able agility and headwork. while his
pitching skill would have triumphed
over any ordinary work by his OPP
ponent
The 500th victory Of the veteran yes
terday was remarkable in many ways.
In the first eight innings the Washing
ton players made only one hit from
the oldsters battling service, while
their total for the eleven innings was
only four. He gave only three bases
on balls.
"Old Cy" has for we'll toward a score
of years been a leading figure on the
diamond. always modest and unassum-
ing, never engaging in disputes with
players or umpires Large of frame
! and rudy with health, the veteran is
also a picturesque figure on the field.
He is one of the old school of ball
! players, able TO teach many tricks to
the youngsters. Perhaps no one
would call him the greatest of all
! pitchers, but will the younger stars oi
the present day equal his long and
honorable record? More power to his
old right arm!

up THE HIN AND DOWN AGAIN.

IT. HE present status of the city muddle, and
/ perhaps it is not so much Of muddle as
some think-appears to be case of marching up
the hill and marching down again, as if we had
a great deal Of fuss with nothing to come out of it..
The attorney for the brokers rendered an opin-
ion based on false premise, the Democratic Office
holders became excited, the local attorneys put
their heads together and an effort was made TO
call special session of the Legislature The
Democrats felt insecure in their positions, they
said. What would have been attempted had the
special session been called is matter of con-
lecture.
The Republican leaders believed that their plan
of having the former officials assume Office and
then resign would have solved the difficulty, but
the Democrats for some are suspicious.
According TO their latest view they now intend
to do nothing-let things stand as they are, and
ignore the bond issue. They might try having the
people bid for the bonds The present officials will
continue, and one will care to dispute their
claims to Office.
The brokers caused a little excitement in Will
mington, and as it is looked on at present more
fuss was stirred up than necessary. The persons
who did not become excited are the average citi-
zens" the ordinary men who are not much con-
cerned in the play of politics.

Editorial Opinion
Nicholson for Senator.

DOVER lnQeA.
We are usually classed as friendly
to one fthe old factions Of the
Democratic party in Delawa q. sHow.
ever we have always labored for the
success of the party and have not
allowed personal preferences to inter-
fere with our efforts. At this time
we are unusually anxious to see a
Democratic victory and above all the
defeat of Senator dupont and Con
gresham Head. We believe the State
and the country need a change. and
we believe the exercise of wisdom will
secure a Democratic majority Of the
next Legislature and a Democrat to
succeed Senator DUPONT. Who this
Democrat shall be we, of course. can
not predict, and it is not our custom
to enter candidates. The State News
has suggested eX-Chancellor Nicholson
as one of the most available and ap-
propriate Democrats for the service,
and we feel inclined to accept the sug-
gestion os a very wise and ting one.
Mr.. Nicholson is free from fractional
alliances and his ability and dualifl-
cations have been amply demonstrate
ed by Is services as Attorney-General
and Chancellor. We should be pleased
to lay aside our personal preferences
in favor of Chancellor Nicholson If
all elements of the party can unite
on hi mand thereby secure that har-
mony and accord so necessary for q
successful campaign.

coon ROADS IN KENT.

II HE JOURNAL is pleased to print letter
/ from a Milford gentleman stating that the
Lew Court OF Kent county more than met the
expectations of the committee of the Milford Good
Roads Association. Mr. Smith thinks that we
gave the impression that the Levy
Court of Kent has not been in sym
pathv with the good roads movement. Although
in the article in question did not dwell at length
on that point we have been under the impression
that the Levy Court was not in sympathy with the
good roads movement for it did not cooperate
with Mr.. Hope.
The Journal is glad TO know that the Levy
Court granted the request Of the association. The
report that we read did not state what had been
done with the request Mr.. Smith says that Mr..
Sapp, President Of the Levy Court, was very en-
phatc in his approval of the object of the Milford
Association which is better roads for less money.
The Journal is heartily in accord with that SEN
hment We have always believed that Kent could
not afford macadamized roads such we have in
New Castle There is, we believe, cheaper method
of building good roads and as we understand il
suitable for the lower counties: the Milford as
ISOLATION is applying that method. But all roads
should be built under the direction of a competent
county engineer and the old method of caring
for the roads should be abandoned.
BY the way. we wish Mr.. Smith or some of the
other members Of the Milford Association would
supply us with more facts TO what the Milforc
Association is doing Considerable has been print
ed, but il should be printed again and again fol
only by constant agitation shall we be able &c
make progress in road building.

The boom for former Chancellor Nicholson as
the Democratic aspirant for senator is growing.
The Dover News started the ball rolling and the
Index has taken il up in the interest of harmony.
Is it to be that the opposition TO the Salisbury
faction is to combine on the former jurist? These
little straws show how the wind is blowing

The Dover Index complains that taxes in the
capital are high and it wonders whether the town
would not be better off if it disposed of its water
and light plants and rented IFS lights Taxes are
outrageousy high, and we get little in return,
says the Index. Complaint of high taxes and little
in return would indicate that Dover is putting on
CITY airs" Such complaints are of every day
occurrence in cities But there must be some
thing radically wrong with situation such as the
Index notes. Sorle other towns of the State have
had great success with their water and lighting
plants.

PITBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION.

V VARIOUS signs here and there make it plain
10 us that one of the important things to
come before the next Legislature should be meas
ure providing for public service commission for
Delaware especially for Wilmington
Merchants and Others fear that the control of
our electric lighting system by a new corporation
means that the rates will be raised to much
higher figure than at present. We have been en-
loving competition for some time and most men
familiar with the subject think that the charges
for lighting and for power have been somewhat
too low The new company is feeling its way
probably wishing TO see how much the people will
stand in increased rates
The Journal long ago pointed out that merger
Of the electric lighting companies of this city
would come to pass, that competition because OF
the natural trend in public utilities would not be
Wanent, and we then urged as sNSafeguard for
-esN2ple public service commission, not for
OnAc~<ose Of harassjFg the public sei&iee cor
but in order to safeguard the interests
rs. ~
Lsr&ument heard against the proposal
uzussasGEas.--Ich a commission should be appointed,
II would merely mean the creation OF places for
some politicians, who under the present status OF
things in Delaware would be dominated by the
public service corporations themselves.
We don't believe this would follow, il the bust
ness men and the manufacturers of Wilmington
should take the matter in hand and express their
views forciby. A Delaware Legislature is susoep.
tble to public opinion when expressed in the
right manner.
At any rate some Of our merchants and manu-.
facturers are already walking on Uneasy street.
and we fancy that sooner or later, and
the sooner the better stirring sentiment
will be created in favor of public service

Carriage is said to have been prac-

the dead and injured are conflicting.
1t is agreed that the first report of 500
fatalities was conservative. The finest
structures of the town are in ruins.
Among the number was the palace of
justice erected by Andrew Carnegie's
gift of 100000. 1t is believed that DR..
Becanegra, the Guatemalan magistrate
to the Central American arbitration
court, was killed. His wife and child

According to reports received here
from San Jose, the refugees say that
communication between Cartago and

and much damage has been done along
the railway line leading to Port Limon.
The shocks threw the inhabitants into
a panic. The authorities, however,
kept their heads and martial law be-

of rescue. Some 400 bodies have been
taken from the ruins and the injured
will add several hundred to the total
casualties.
