THE GABBLE ABoUT GOODWIN.

our Democratic friends throwing out
" hints of mysterious reasons why Mr..
Jack" Goodwin is keeping away from the city,
and they draw pictures of men higher up
trembling in fear of revelations that might be
made should Goodwin return. According to
their pictures the workhouse would yawn for
a dozen or so of men higher mp" and there
would not be enough Republicans left TO form
county committee after Jack finished his tale,
if he had tale
We admit that we have often wondered that
Jack with his great gift of CAB and love IF
talk and his political methods so long escap-
ed serious trouble Any one who did not know
him and who put full oredence in all that he
said would size him up as a terror in more
ways than one.
However, it is not known whether Goodwin
will be here on the date fixed or not, and nome
actual outcome of the proceedings is known. 1t
should be remembered that it is a very hard
matter for a man 20 escape the clutches of the
law, and it is by no means clear as yet that the
Attorney Generals Office will fail to reach Cod
win when he is wanted
There seems TO MS TO be no great mystery
about the gossip of carrying the case to the STU
preme Court Godwins friends among >he
politicians-and naturally he has had manv OF
them-thinl< that his sentence was too severe,
and they intend TO do what they can TO help
him. However If the statements of these politi-
cal friends of Goodwin are to be believed they
have not the slightest fear that any person or
persons higher up would be involved If Cod
win should return.

POLLUTED STREAMS AND FISH.

A a result of the high price of meats peo-
( n pie arc looking around for other food and
DR. z. G. Shortlidge, for many years interested
in the propagation Of fish, has called our atten-
ton to the fact that a few years ago many per-
sons of the city were able TO get 4 considerable
supply of fish at little cost from the tdewater
of the Brandywne and the Christana, while
White Clay and other creeks contained abun-
dant fish. Some years ago the Brandywine was
alive with fish and fishing there was an indus
,-Try which gave employment 10 many persons.
Carp sold wholesale at ia cents pound.
Black bass, striped bass, white and yellow perch
and sometimes shad were caught in the Bran
DIVINE but as Or. Shortlidge says this condition
has passed away.
The cause OF the disappearance Of this source
of food supply lies in the fact that the city has
taken possession Of the tidewater and sewers
empty into it polluting the water and making
it impossible for FISH to live. And the White
CLAY and Red Clay Greeks arc polluted by man
ufacturng plants near their banks. This pol
luton of streams has. of course rendered all
effort to stock the streams with fish in the hope
that they would propagate unavailing The
continuous flow OF sewage into the streams
makes short work of fish,
DR. Shortlidge points out that in Germany it
is different No pollution of streams is per
mitted, settling ponds being used in that coun-
try for the disposal of sewage.
The subject is pertinent at this time when il
is considered that if the streams were still
abundant with fish, there would be a source of
good food supply at reasonable prices.
Not only does this city and the surrounding
country suffer because of the pollution of
streams but other cities have had similar ex-
perienccs The Hudson river was formerly
alive with fish, but they have almost disappear
ed because of pollution.
II is clear, then that our next Legislature
should consider the question of protecting the
streams from pollution especially since the
price Of food is becoming an important subject in
every household

This special is the emperor Of trains.
Il is reserved for the costliest of all
freight-raw silk When it starts
eastward its lading will be worth a

two millions, of dollars. If a limited

the silk train runs by in a whirlwind
of dust. The silk train runs on NO
schedule except that of the greatest
speed consistent with safety. While
the silk train is yet a thousand miles

The attempted escape and shooting OF

recapture the two breakaways from the

LABOR EXCHANGES IN ENGLAND.

Z NGLAND'S new system of labor exchanges
IL by which it is hoped greatly to ameliorate
the countrys menacing problem of unemploy-
ment, put in operation yesterday for the first
time
Exchanges were opened in various places
throughout England and so much is expected
of them that the press generally refers to the
movement as an epoch in England's industrial
life
The exchanges will try to bring the job and
the iobless together Every exchange is pro-
vded with record, prepared with unusual care
Of the firms and industrial plants in England
where employees are needed and also Of the num-
Der and location of the unemployed in Eng
land with their peculiar fitness for particular
kind of employment
This is the first scheme that has ever been
tried in England to solve the question of pro-
viding work for the thousands who are idle. The
exchanges are expected to save the unemployed
the expense of searching for work where it is
already known that work exists. The eX-
changes will pay the expenses of the men TO the
fields Of employment

TO INVESTIGATE HIGH PRICES.

"A CCORDING to Washington dispatches
\ President Taft and the leaders of the ad-
ministration are determined to have rigid in
quiry into the causes of the prevailing high
prices of things. 1t is intended that the in
quiry shall be non-partisan.
Resolutions calling for an inquiry have been
introduced in the House by Republican and
Democratic members, but the field to be covered
by the investigation has not yet been decided
In few DAYS 1t is expected that resolution
drafted by Chairman Payne of the Ways and
Means Committee, will be adopted. The SEN
ate has already taken action
Representative Champ Clark the Democratic
leader says that unless the inquiry is conducted
in systematic manner It will be an endless
matter to find out the bottom truth. He adds
that THE reasons that enter into the present high
prices of necessities are so numerous and there
arc so many ramihcations Of the subject that it
IS bound to be a big undertaking any, way we

This statement is undoubtedly true. and he
might have added that the political leaders are

San Francisco is making the experiment Of
municipal ownership of street railways, but
those who favor such ownership-and there are
not many of them at present-will regret that
some city other than San Francisco does not at
tempt public ownership. The reputation of San
Francisco a city in which grafters and politi-
cal crooks have held high carnival will not help
the municipal ownership idea along. Cleveland
has been experimenting more or less on the line
OF public control Of street railways without sat
isiactory results. II is likely that the day will
come when all public utilities will be regulated
by municipalities or states, and that would be
better than direct public ownership

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
When the Duke Of Yelling
ton Turned Prophet
~ al Iolf..Iu
BY "HOlland."


The world has long known the duke
of Wellington as a great warrior.
Here is a story that reveals him in
the role of prophet It was told to
me by the late Gen. James Grant VIII
son of civil war, and, afterwards, OF
literary fame.
Il was my good fortune" said Gen.
Wilson, when in England a year or
so before our civil war. to meet and
have very pleasant relations with an
English military officer who was an
aide-de-camp to the duke of Yelling
ton when the latter was British COM
mander-in-chief for life. This was at
the time Of our war with Mexico and
the duke was then an old man, for
over thirty years had elapsed since
the battle Of Waterloo.
"The duke--so this officer told me-
took q great interest in all the news
that reached England relative to the
Mexican war. and especially TO Gen.
Scott's part in Il, he holding the latter
in high esteem as military man.
"A few days after the news had
reached England that Gen. Scotta
army had landed at Vera Cruz. several
Of the higher officers of the British
service met with the duke TO talk over
the American campaign. They had
upon a table a map Of Mexico They
studied II carefully. Some were of the
opinion that Gen. Scott would find him
self cooped up in Vera Cruz. Others
thought that he would make a feini
Of taking his army some distance into
the interior Of the hostile country
The duke sat TO one side, saying
nothing. Then. when the last officer
had given his opinion OF the probable
action OF Gen. Scott, the conqueror ol
Napoleon spoke: Let me look at that
map a moment"
The other officers stepped asld:
and the duke drew up to the table
For ten minutes, or even longer, he
studied the map before him.
"At last he put a finger upon the
point of the map which indicated tn,
city of Vera Cruz. Gen. Scott Il
there he said. He lifted the fngel
and placed it over the spot indicating
the City of Mexico. There he said
you will find Gen. Scott on or about
naming the day. That is his objec
tive point, and, have no doubt, h,
will succeed in his plans
But spoke up one Of the officer
who had predicted failure for Ger
Scott, that will involve his abandon

He will take his supplies wit
him. responded the duke, 'and-tra,
