HIGH TELEPHONE CHARGES.

" ISITORS to New York city have long wonder
ed why the people of the great metropolis
submit TO the extortionate telephone rates charged
there. They have wondered why it costs more to
use the telephone in New York than it does in
other cities. Naturally because of the vast volume
of business done lower rates would be expected.
The New York folk however have awakened to
the situation and the Public Service Commission
is investigating the alleged high charges. Dis
elimination is said to be practiced in New York
on large scale, and throughout the entire State
the charges are described as a tumble of nquites
and inconsistencies" It is now proposed to in
vestigate the telephone trust as the gas trust
of New York was investigated
An effort will be made to ascertain what the
company is actually earning and what its real and
not nominal capital is. And it will probably be
learned that the company is earning a high div
dend on stock we'll loaded with water.

The citizens of Springfield Mass are con-
sidering a new city charter and the Springfield
Union, the Republican, newspaper of that city,
emphatcally declares that the most important
thing for the charter is the elimination Sof
party names from the official ballots in muni-
cipa elections. 1t says: There is neither sense
nor in giving consideration to the politics
of a candidate for municipal Office" Some poll
ticians think that a partisan victory in city
strengthens party for State or National cam
paign, but this is false notion. The Democrats
carried Wilmington at the last city election but
at the recent State election the Republicans won
the city by large majority for Congress and lost

The sentiment for parcels post system is rapid
ly Increasing and is given an impetus by the
statement that the Adams Express Company earns
yearly dividend-of forty-hve per cent. The Pos
tai Progress League has started a campaign TO try
to prevent the election TO the United States Senate
OF any man opposed to the parcels post A recent
statement by the League mentions the fact that
the Democratic party in New York and Massachu-

parcels post system. And it might be added that
the Republican party in Delaware is pledged to
the same reform. Our two senators and Repre-

phraseology that he never seemed to

he delivered the five-minute section of
his speech, for example, it would be
clothed in a new verbal dress. Yet the
meaning of the section was always the

This, perhaps, was the most striking

LEVY COURT CHANGES.

IT HERE is some agitation in the lower coun-
n ties which may become more pronounced as
the time for the General Assembly to meet draws
near. for the abolition Of the Levy Court system
in Kent and Sussex and the substitution OF COM
mission TO be composed of a smaller number OF
men than are now members OF the Levy Court.
There has been reference TO proposed change IN
Kent county and some Democratic newspapers
have expressed fears that the agitation is merely
a partisan scheme for the Legislature to turn over
the administration of the affairs in Kent to the
Republicans who would be a majority of the conf
mission.
We have no information of such a partisan
plan, but if il is, it should be knocked in the
head at the start. AS a result Of the recent cleo
ton and the election two years ago the Demo
Gratis have control of the Kent Levy court anc no
scheme should be tolerated which would oust the
Democrats from control of that body. The day
has gone when partisan tricks shouo oe-
come effective in Delaware
We do not believe that partisan commission
in either Kent OF Sussex or in both would be
any improvement over the present Levy
Courts A non-partsan commission composed or
capable men would be an Improvement over the
present method, but we do not presume that the
politicians Of either party in those counties are
ready for so progressive a step. But at any rate
there should be no extreme partisan legislation
attempted, which, If enacted would deprive law
fully elected officials of their places.

Magistrate Washington Hastings has earned the
commendaton of those who use the trolley cars
late at night by his punishment OF young men for
disorderly conduct on Brandywine Springs troll

think that they own the late night, and they
take possession making it very uncomfortable,
not only for women passengers but for respectable
men, There has been much complaint of disorder
on the trolley cars late at night, and if the Off
cias of the companies would arrest such offenders
Magistrate Hastings could be depended on TO ad-
minister punishment that would soon break up the
