EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYE.

rrUCH occasions as that at Carneys Point the
- other day when the employees of the dupont
Company there showed their appreciation OF the
retiring superintendent Mr. A. Felix DUPONT, are
happy incidents in industrial life during times
when we hear so much about the conflict between
labor and capital
II is pleasant TO see employer and employees IN
relations so cordial. The manifestation OF the
high esteem in which Mr.. DUPONT is held shows
that il is much more than possible TO conduct big
business so that there shall he no serious indus
trial clashes or disputes Many conflicts could be
avoided il there we're proper consideration shown
by both the employers and the employees.
According 10 one of the addresses on the occa-
sion Mr. DUPONT was always in close touch with
his men, ready TO hear their grievances, if they
had any, and ready to act upon them In most big
concerns such relations between the superinten-
dents and the men arc not so close for the great
development of industry. the conducting OF buSi-
ness on great scale, different from the smaller
factories of the older times, tends TO separate the
employers from the men. But there need be no
such great demarcaton as is too often noticed.
After all, the interests Of the employer aud the
employe are identical Prosperous business means
steady work and more profitable employment.
Tagging business means that both the employers
and the employees suffer
The good will Of the employees is great asset
10 any manufacturing or other concern II is
winning half the battle No concern do its
best if there is dissatisfaction or unrest, if there
is a lack Of fellow feeling between the depart
mcnts
One of the reasons for the success Of the
DUPONT Company. il seems to us, is that the rela-
tons between the employers and the employees
have always been WITHOUT those elements Of fric-
ton which seem TO crop up in many other branches
Of industry

ROAD IMPROVEMENT.

A CCORDING to the Milford Chronicle il is
L a the purpose Of the Levy Court of Kent
county which is controlled by the Democrats, not
TO build good roads. but 10 continue the old sys-
tenn OF the irresponsible spending of money with
out definite plan, and without practical knowl-
edge of how TO either build repair a public
road
The Levy Court Of Kent refused TO put in
operation the Soper law which was framed by
the Democrats and passed by the Legislature. As
a consequence, under the present method, S25o00
Of the taxpayers money Of Kent county is ex-
pended under an antiquated system of caring for
the roads, and much of the money is practically
wasted. II falls into the hands of party hench-
There are 260 sections of roads in Kent
county, and if they all as bad as most of those
that we have from time 10 time gone over, they
are surely in a fierce" condition.
1t is strange TO us that the people Of Kent
county do not compel change in the method of
caring for their roads Perhaps some of them
don't want good roads, but there are others, large
taxpayers who are weary of the present incom-
petent method of caring for roads
Kent county ought TO have road engineer and
the system of road repair should be divorced from
all political considerations 1t should be not only
in Kent but in every other county in the State
People pay money for road Improvements and too
often they get nothing in return. Why they do
not demand that the public highways shall be
cared for in half way decent manner is almost
past comprehension.
In this day il is utterly ridiculous to place work
so important in the hands of overseers or bench.
men, But, it happens too frequently in poll
tics that who can't attend to his own
business or whom no one privately would think Of
entrusting with business of Importance is chosen
TO attend to the affairs of the public
Some day this will be different we hope, but it
will not be different so long as a few men can
hoodwink people into believing that the highest
aim of government is TO provide jobs for persons
who are unable to provide for themselves without
the aid of the public.

Editorial Opinion
dupont Boulevard.

Milford Chronicle.
All farmers, and other citizens as
well, who have looked into the future.
see the great good which must follow
the building OF the proposed road
which General DUPONT proposes TO
construct and present TO the State of
Delaware From the northern end TO
the southern boundary the farming
lands along its course will be in
creased in value many hundreds of
thousands of dollars in the aggregate;
this will come to the real estate, the
real property of Delaware, and in the
next ten years after the road is COM
pleted every acre of land even suscep-
tihle of improvements, or Of cultivs-
ton, will feel the results of this pio-
neer roadway. by increased values. It
must be kept in mind, that this great
highway is not 10 bo a simple road
way only, but is to be beautifed by
creating a great boulevard such as the
older countries of Europe, have
brought to such magnificent success,
and which are the great national as
sets of the French nation. We hope
that Delaware, which was first to rat
ify the Declaration of independence.
will be the first to create. through the
magnificent generosity of one of her
citizens. the first of a system of beau
tiful boulevards which will i'm few
short years spread over the whole of
these great United States. God speed
the great work, the surveys for which
will begin in a few weeks.

HOPE THEY WILL COME HERE.

r ET us hope that the DUPONT Hotel syndicate
II which is operating in different parts OF the
country will cast an eye upon Delaware 1t would
be a good thing for Wilmington If the syndicate
should decide TO erect hotel building in this
city.
We have some hesitation in mentioning tho
matter but we venture TO do despite the pos
siblity that small coterie of persons will fly
into a rage and want TO shoot the syndicate if it
should come here and endeavor 10 erect hotel.
Perhaps some persons might sec politics in it,
and therefore they would be opposed.
Then, again the "hold-up brigade" would be
apt TO become suddenly busy The "hod-up bri-
gade' sleeps during most Of the year. Its mem
hers, and they numerous with no particular
identity, are awake upon two occasions. One is
when they try TO get taxes reduced on their own
properties and the other is when some progress
sive persons want TO buy property for public i'm
provementS.
The 'hold-up brigade" are always suspicious that
enough will not be obtained for their property
Just ask any live man who may have had some
experience in trying 10 bring industries TO this
city how they have been held up by the "hod-ups"
and their anvil chorus of hammers
But even with all this we venture 10 hope that
the Hotel syndicate in which Mr.. dupont is inter
ested, or some other concern will finally decide TO-
erect modern hotel building in Wilmington

RECALL ELECTION IN TACOMA.

IT HE recall election in Tacoma Washington, re-
i suited in the oustng Of Mayor Fawcett from
Office. Odd as it may seem the liquor forces and
the mass of the women voters joined TO elect Mr..
Seymour and 10 defeat Mayor Fawcett
Some time ago the Mayor forced through the
City Council ordinance against treating in
saloons. The women supported the ordinance, and
it was passed by referendum vote. Then the
liquor men waged war on Fawcett and brought
about recall election. One of the women active
IN the election declared that Fawcett was not a
man OF good character and that is the reason why
he defeated.
The new Mayor, Mr.. Seymour, is very wealthy
and the owner Of numerous public utilities in
Washington towns.
Despite the criticisms of the women il is said
that Fawcett started more public improvements in
Tacoma than any other Mayor during the past ten
years.
Recall elections and voting by women will lead
p some peculiar Developments in politics.

Godwin's Pardon.
Milford Chronicle.

Milford Chronicle.
After hearing evidence which was
convincing. and the strongest Of
which came from the lips of DR.. JOS
eph Pyle, Of Wilmington. who is
Democrat, and who absolutely stated
that further confinement would jeop-
ardize the life and health of John
Goodwin, because of tubercular affec-
tion, the Board Of Pardons deemed IT.
proper to recommend a pardon, and
which recommendation the Governor
promptly acted upon favorably and set
Goodwin free last Friday.
The Board Of PardOns were unant-
nous that mercy should be shown 10
Goodwin by reason of his afTliction, but
differed as to whether the pardon.
which carried with It the wiping away

should be shown to the extent of Civ
ing the unfortunate man the oppor-
tunity 10 recover his health without
worry or grief to act as a deterrent. It
seems that the majority Of the Board
of Pardons acted wisely. The law for
political crimes does not demand that
life, or that permanent health shall
be forfeited, and in Godwin's case
either might have been forfeited. The
two dissenting were willing to make
the pardon without restoration Of the
franchise.

NE w N E WIS
OF YES RDAY
A SOLDIERS PREMONITION OF DEATH THAT CAME TRUE

The brayest soldiers sometimes ack-
nowledge that they are possessed by
superstition or that there come col
them premonitions which whisper
forecasts of what their fate is to be in
battle. Although General Hancock was
not believer in these mysterious
warnings, there was one incident, how
ever. in which he had a share, that
caused him at times to wonder whether
there might not after all be whisper
ing voice unheard by any but those TO
whom the message was addressed tell
ing what their fate in battle was to
be. This incident was associated with
the death Of Colonel Afford B. Chap
man. who. during the Civil War, was in
command OF the Fifty-second New
York Regiment, which took part in all
the campaigns Grant made from the
Rapidan to the AppomattoX in 1864 and
1865
Colonel Chapman was not super
stitious man. He was a born soldier,
taking with perfect GOODNESS all the
chances of war. seeking only to do his
duty. For example, his regiment was
engaged in laying the pontoon bridge
at Fredericksburg, in December, 1862,
lust before General Burnside, who was
in command of the Army of the Po-
tomac ordered the advance TO be
made upon the Confederate position
on the hills back of Fredericksburg.
Although the bullets flew thick and
fast. Colonel Chapman was utterly
without fear, nor did he at the time ne
received a bullet know that he had
been wounded. The ball passed
through a memorandum book and some
papers which were in his left vest
pocket. The bulk of paper was suffi-
ciently thick to cause the bullet to be-
/ come practically spent when it reached
| his flesh. But for this interposition he
would have been killed instantly, since
the bullet was arrested directly over
his heart
General Hancock's attention had
/ been called 10 Colonel Chapman and
! he had decided to place him in charge
of brigade and 10 recommend his ap-
pointment as brigadier general. In fact
| Hancock had so much confidence IN
/ Chapman that he assigned Chapman
/ brigade to a forward position in the
/ first day of the fighting in the Battle
of the Wilderness.
Shortly after the brigade went on tc
] the slkirmish line Colonel Chapman
met General Hancock. The colonels
bearing was very soldierly. There was
no doubt of his keenness or of his
courage. but he said to General Han
cock
General, this will be my last bat
tie"
why do you think so. Colonel,
asked the General. we must all take
the chances of battle"
Il know that is soldiers duty,
Colonel Chapman replied But the
1 feeling I now have is something un'
like any I have ever experienced since
the war began. Something tells me tha'
this is going to be my last battle, bu
the warning does not disturb me I'm th'
| least"
"Oh." Hancock replied, you're
simply a little overexcited. Don't pas
any attention 10 IL. have no faith il
/ premonitions."
Colonel Chapman smiled, gracefully
| samted General Hancock. and said
After this battle is over. general, yol
will find that my premonition was gen
uine.'
Within an hour Chapman was lead
ing his troops through the woods L
