EDITORIAL OPINION

speaking with the joyous enthusiasm
OF a man who knows that he can mako
a good living out of politics, in an
agreeable way.
Fine for those who can get their
bread and butter out Of political work
or public office, but that means getting
it out of other mems productive labor.
And if the number of those who live
by politics or by holding Office is car
ried up far and fast, as It surely VIII
be il the Bigelow doctrines prevail,
it is going to be hard shedding and
heavy hauling for those who do the
work of the country and foot the tax
payers bills.
There is another thing to be noted
about the theory that politics can be
made popular by increasing the size
of ballots to that Of bed sheets and
dumping thirty or forty laws and con-
stitutional amendments upon the vot-
ers Of a state, every two years or So
the result is the opposite or the eA-
pectations Of the hobby riders VINO
cant have too much politics to play
with and live on. No state OF country
has vet shown an average Of more
than 75 per cent of its usual vote for
men in its voting on laws and consu-
tutional amendments, and the tendency
is toward smaller fractions.
The Bigelow plan of making politics
popular is great for the politicians
but It asks a good deal Of the plain
citizens who have to foot the oills-

GREAT NEW YORK.

~ REAT is the city Of New York with its popu-
Vt lation of FIVE millions, and often the outsider
does not realize what such population means.
Some one has been examining the statistics of
New York. and he thinks they should impress
those of US who are not New Workers.
The real size of the population of the metropo-
lis may be judged when it is known that New York
has 100000 school children Walking two by two
at intervals Of three feet, they would make pro-
cession 227 miles long, or walking four by four
these children would make procession that would
reach from Claymont to Delmar and for some miles
into Maryland
The permanent force of city employees of New
York is more than $4,000, large army in itself.
Nearly FIVE hundred tons Of babies are annually
born in New York, and this it is figured means
100000 infant addition to the population every
year. The city government handles S450000000
annually and its yearly interest bill amounts to
$29,5o000O. The city government spends S7s,-
100000 every year in paying its employees The
city owns Si40O00000 worth of bridges, and its
new aqueduct is TO cost $l60000000.
These figures give some idea Of the startling
greatness Of New York. Its charities, public and
private, its institutions Of all kinds are immense,
and those who think Of New York from the Great
White Way point Of view or that of stock spec
uaton touch only the surface OF mammoth hive
Of life and industry.

to secure when / met the representa-
tive In Congress Of the Albany district,
John Barnard. l told Mr.. Barnard
what my embarrassments were and
that / was unable to get the ear of the

give a dinner and would invite all the
Wing representatives from New York
state to attend the dinner Then we
could agree upon plan OF action.
Well, went to the dinner at the
house Mr.. Barnard had leased. In IA 5
course Of the dinner l spoke Of the
comfortable situation of the house and
Of its attractiveness. Mr.. Barnard told
me that the house belonged to an OLD
Albany constituent Of mine, John Mur-

as a treasury clerk in the purchase
of that house.

LOCAL APPRECIATION.

THE TRENTON TRUE AMERICAN thinks
4 that school children should be taught great
deal about their home city as we'll as the geogra-
ply of the world. 1t advocates a course in local
geography for the pupils of the Trenton schools.
The children should be taught to know the names
of the public buildings, the name Of the Mayor,
the direction of the principal streets, the bound
ary lines of the city its dimensions, population and
similar facts. Public spirit should be instilled
and keen interest in citizenship aroused More
important than even this thinks the American, the
children should know facts about the business and
industrial institutions Of their home city They
should learn to appreciate their home
This is all a good thing and we have classes in
civics in our schools which are being instructed
along the lines suggested by the Trenton news
paper There cannot be too much of this kind Of
instruction II is mental training and discipline,
just as any other kind of study is. Yet how often
do we find children, and some bright ones at that
who know little about the city or their state and
are not we'll versed in the history of either.

I told yesterday a story narrated TO
me by Thurlow Weed, the great Whig
politician and president maker Of New
York state, descriptive Of the manner
in which he was able to accept an in
vitation from Henry Clay when Secre-
tary OF State in John Quincy Adams
administration. Weed had no dress
suit--had never had one; so that NJ
thought he would be compelled to de-
cline the invitation. But an old AL
bany friend. John Murphy, who was
then employed IN some capacity in a,
Washington hotel, insisted on dressing
Mr.. Weed In Murphy's dress suit, a
suit made necessary by the kind of
service Murphy did at the hotel, and
in that way Mr.. Weed was able to at
tend the Clay dinner. In 1841 Murphy
who was then a clerk In the Treasury
Department, having been appointed
in Jackson's administration, was
afraid that he would be removed be-
cause a Whig administration under
William Henry Harrison had come
into power. But Mr.. Weed introduced

TASTEFULLY FXPLAINED.

A lady who had recently moved to
the suburbs was very fond of her first
brood of chickens. Going out one af-
ternoon she left the household in
charge OF her S-year-old boy. Before
her return a thunderstorm came on.
The youngster forgot the chicks dur
ing the storm, and was dismayed az
ter it passed to find that half Of them
had been drowned. Though fearing
the wrath to come, he thought best
to make a clean breast Of the calam-
ity. rather than leave It to be discov-
cred

his mother had returned; mamma,

story OF the dress suit, which tickled
the Secretary of the Treasury so
greatly that he promised Murphy to

ing this part of the incident to me,
there was reverse side to the pic

we'll as the rich. No long drawn out
regulation by Utility Commissions can
ever expect to accomplish half the re-
suits that may be accomplished by
competition. There is a great doubt in
my mind whether the Utilities Com
mission can be successful in reducing
prices one iota. In order to produce
satisfactory results or the slightest
reduction, it will be necessary for
them to go through a long course Of
legal procedure. probably as high as
the U. S. Supreme Court and then in
my mind the court will be sure to sus
tain the integrity and inviolability Of
the contracts. By this process a lot Of
money is wasted. a lot Of time con-
sumed in a gamble with only the slight
prospects OF a successful issue, where
as by the means of competition there
is no expense to the city, It becomes
Immediately incislve and effective. It

dence or the ability Of lawyers,
To be in receipt of competition
which is offered us is very much like
the people of Wilmington picking Up

nothing to grant a franchise and our
public officials are appointed for that
purpose The granting Of a franchise

Now that the franchise for the Pub
lie Utilities Light, Heat and Power
Company has been applied for and
printed In the newspaper so that
everybody can understand 1t, / con-
slider the time propitious when every
body, who is at all public spirited,
should make known his opinion to the
Board of Street and Sewers, Public
Utility Commission and the public in
general. / regard the franchise asked
for as being the most sincere and fair
document ever proposed in the city Of
Wilmington for public enactment
They have covered the possibilities Of
amalgamation with the old company
in a very fair masterful manner by
which the public will be amply pro-
tected In case of a repetition Of merg-
ing. AS they have followed out the
lines pretty closely of the last fran
chise granted by the Street and Sewer
Department to the old company, which
franchise was granted as late as April
this year, / do not see how the Street
and Sewer Commission can very well
make flesh of one and fowl OF another.
In the franchise which they issued
TO the old company there was no pro
vision made TO protect the public
against mergers but in the new COM
pany's application there is ample pro-
vision made to protect the public
Now the public's necessity is for
competition, the public's demand is
for competition and it is the duty OF
the officials having that matter Ia
charge TO grant this franchise The
benefits to be derived from competition
are incalculable We have an assur-
ance Of 80 per cent reduction to conf
mence with and who knows but that
with proper support from the public
this new company may be able to COM
pete with gas and serve the poor as
