G. ONE of the Republican members of the Leg
- islature should wake up or Senator Drexer,
who has not been acting with the party in many
instances and the Democrats will walk away with
the credit Of having introduced and put through
important legislation.
For example, the Republican members should
pitch in on that Public Utilities Commission bill
for Wilmington or for the State. Mr.. White,
Republican, to be sure, has one measure in hand
but Senator Monaghan has the bill applying to
Wilmington. The legislative days are rapidly pass
ing and surely the leaders Of the Republicans at
Dover do not intend to let the session 60 by with
out something definite done regarding a Public
Utilities Commission. There is no need of delay
in this matter If of the bills relating TO
a Public Utilities Commission suits the majority,
Ret another measure be prepared
OF course it makes no particular difference to

believes is for the good of the State or any part
of it, regardless of the man who stands sponsor.
The Journal, however would be pleased TO see
a little more Republican activity concerning bills
that are really important.

brought the blush Of shame to the
natives ad time nation, and they
should be properly punished for their
crimes, and held up as horrible ex-
amples to the rest of the republic.
Buncoing the Government has come
to be a fine art with dishonest i'm
porters and the rsscally rich, aided
and abetted by a bunch of crooks in
the customs department and between
the combination the Government has
been fiinched out Of millions of its
money and the most shameless de
bauchery of law ever enacted was

the lawless rich have taught, when
they should have been models

The citizens of Milford are again agiratng the
question of new railroad station for that town,
and the Chronicle is proddng the three railroad
directors who live in Milford to be up and doing.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has decided
to build new stations in two of the important
towns and no doubt Milford will soon be reached.
We do not think it will be many years before there
will be handsome stations at all the important
places. Certainly there should be, for the Della
ware Railroad Company does large business in
the state and the expense of erecting new sta
tons IS one that the company should be able
TO stand without causing financial distress.

The Newark Ledger sounds a warning note
about the number of bills that have been pre-
sented OF the Legislature calling for the creation
of various Offices at salaries which no one would
think we're small considering the amount of labor
TO be done. At every session bills Of this kind
are presented and if all of them should be passed,
swarm Of Office holders would be largely in
creased. The Legislature necessarily must con-
slider the expense in all these matters and there
should be no creating of superhuous officers.
