Comforting Words
Many a Wilmington Household VIII
Find Them So.

To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed; to be entirely free
from annoying. dangerous urinary dis
orders is enough TO make any kidney
sufferer grateful. To tell how this
great change can be brought about
will prove comforting words to hun
dreds Of Wilmington readers.
Mrs. W B. Burns, 113 n. Second St.
New Castle, Del, says: Since using
Doan's Kidney Pills, I have been en-
tirely free from kidney trouble and I
give them the credit for my present
good health. I was bothered by a con-
slant pain across my back, often OK
tending into my shoulders. At times 7
could scarcely raise my hands above
my head When 7 stopped OF lifted.
sharp pains darted through my BODY
and 7 was hardly able to perform nv
housework. Not being benefited by the
various remedies used, was induced
to give Doan's Kidney Pills a trial.

ton with the station work; for a
more definite law to control contagious
diseases among the lower animals; for
more money for Farmers Institutes
and for prizes, for big yields of staple
crops. Since the Farmers Institutes
began TO discuss corn growing and
the State Board of Agriculture to give
prizes, the average yield of corn in
Delaware has risen from 20 bushels
per acre to 32 bushels per acre, and the
board has announced that it expects
10 push this work until the yield
reaches so bushels per acre. Te1s
means an increase of 100000 bush
els of corn, value S3,OOO0O0 annu-
ally.
There is no doubt but Delaware will
be the first State in the Union to
reach this high average yield. What
has been done for corn has in almost
equal measure been done for some 9TH
er crops, and Delaware agriculture is
I'm "A very healthy condition

WEDNESDAY. MAR. I.IeH
CAMPAIGN PUBLICITY.

7 WOULD BE a matter of regret il the lawyers
n who will examine the bill proposed by Mr.
Gormley for the publication OF campaign expenses
find that it conflicts with the constitution
OF course the lawyers will have TO pass on that
matter and il the measure is believed 10 he un-
constitutional, it will fail. That would be an odd
conclusion considering the fact that the oonstitu-
ton has thrown all the safeguards around an cleo
tion in Delaware that il was thought possible for
TO devise.
The Journal doubts, however, whether the pro-
posed Gormley bill, cr bill covering the same
ideas that Mr.. Gorrley has in mind would con-
hct with the constitution. If so, there is no rea-
son why the publicity bill without the oath feat
lure should no. become law No honorable man.
NO man fl 10 sit in law-making body would lie
about his campaign expenses if he were forced
TO make statement that did not have 10 be sworn
to. No honorable man would tell a lie in such a
matter because he would be guilty of moral per-
jury If not legal perjury and TO an honorable man
such condition is distinction without real
difference.
One thing in the proposed Gormley law that re-
quires notice Is the fact that il would prohibit or
ganizations of either political party from contrib
utng TO the expenses Of candidates at primary
elections and this seems TO us to be a good
provision If such a law could be carried out, il
would largely do away with the charges that the
machine of either party picks the states and
then forces the nominations by the illegal use Of
money. This is the charge that has been made
by disgruntled Republicans OF Sussex county and
in other parts of the State against the Republican
Organization and in times past it has been a com
mon charge against the Democrats
Mr.. Gormleys bill would have the effect of Civ
ing every man a candidate for the nomination
for Office fair and equal show as he should
have without the meddling of political leaders as
an organization II need only be said that pub
lcity laws are in force in many of the States
in this part of the country They certainly do
good. as was iustanced by the showing up" OF
Joe Sibley in the Erie Pa, district
One of the members of the Legislature in de-
batting the measure seemed TO think that il is
proper for candidates to popuarze" themselves
by giving dinners and cigars and all that In Will
mington this is called fodder club politics or
plain grating, but the cigars and dinners are us
ually accompanied by bountifu supply of beer
In Kent we believe, according to reports OF the
last campaign, whiskey used by the Democrats
Despite this talk, however, we think that candi-
dates for Office at primaries in New Castle county
would be pleased with any law that would do away
with fodder clubs and plain ordinary grating and

UP TO THE LEGISLATURES.

- Q FAR the relations between the people Of
~ this city and the public service corporations
arc concerned there will be no change unless the
Legislature in its wisdom shall see fit TO estab
sh a Public UTILITIES Commission. The Journal
so far as we have observed is the only newspaper
in the city that has advocated such plan. The
other newspapers have either said nothing or have
opposed il, but they have said little either way.
And yet for some time during the active agita-
tion they loud in their complaints about the
increase OF rates and other matters. But the sub
ject seems to have been practically dropped far
as they arc concerned They offer no remedy.
They make no practical suggestion.
The Journal has called attention TO what other
States are doing and how they have dealt with or
attempted TO deal with such problems. So far as
we know Public Service Commission is the only
practical method Of handling thes ematters. A
commission stands between the people and the
corporations and endeavors TO see that Justice
is done to both.
The Government long ago recognized the prin-
ciple involved in a Public Utilities Commission
by the creation Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Its beneficial effects arc generally
recognized.
The Journal has done its duty as it sees it in
urging the creation of Public Utilities Commits
sion for this State We believe there is a strong
sentiment for such commission, a sentiment
which should find more public expression than it
has found. The Journal has presented what is
regarded the best solution of these municipal
problems. 1t believes that the Legislature should
create such commission, and The Journal be-
lieves that if the Legislature fails TO do So the
Wilmington members especially will have difficulty
IN making explanations 10 why they have not
espoused the cause of the public and of justice
in this matter.

THAT PUBLIC UTILITIES Bill.

IT HIT Public Utilities Commission bill again
what arc the Republican members OF the Leg
isature going TO do about il? The other day we
said that thousands OF eyes we're fixed upon them
But il is not alone to the members of the Legisla
ture that the people are looking. How about the
Republican organization? Does il feel any re-
sponsibility in this matter? Does it feel any re-
sponsibility as to whether the promises or the
implied promises of the Republican State con-
vention are carried into effect? How about the
plank in the Republican State convention calling
for the consideration of a Public Utilities Com
mission? Has there been this session real
and serious consideration of this measure
If there has been there is little public knowledge
OF such consideration How about it, Major
Mitchell, as the head OF the Republican organiza-
ton, the masterful and able head that directed
the party 70 so splendid victory at the last cleo
tion? Is the Republican Organization urging the
Republican members Of the Legislature seriously
to consider the passage of Public Utilities Com
mission bill? II not why not?
If the Republican convention were to be held
today after the commotion that has been going
on over this Public Utilities question would not
that convention take more emphatic stand for
commission than it took last August? How easy
II would be for the Organization TO urge the Re-
publican members Of the Legislature TO give the
people what they want.
Was the enactment Of Public Utilities Com
mission bill one of the things considered by the
conference Of Republican members of the Legis-
lature the other day? If not, why mot? If So
and we hope so-we shall soon a determined
effort on the part Of the Republicans TO give to
the city a Public Utilities Commission bill The
duty OF Republicans in this matter is plain There
should be no evasion. II there is time TO, pass
a wall-eyed pike bill in the House there is time
to debate Public Utilities Commission bill 1t
is evidently clearly up to the Republican Organ
izaton TO urge the consideration and the passage
OF proper Public Utilities Commission bill Exert
YOUR vast influence in favor of such a measure

State Committee, and The Journal has no doubt
that it will be passed

"All Of the great soldiers of the

not suggest the brilliant, daring,

be at the time of the war.
II had the pleasure of entertaining
General Sheridan at my house at
Cleveland in the autumn of 1881. It
was at the time OF the funeral of

especially of his death. Mr.. Window
patiently answered all the questions

! GALLANT ROBERT KIRKWOOD.
Sketch Of Delaware Revolutionary
Hero Who Fell During the In
dian Wars

Robert Kirkwood was born in New
Castle County, Delaware, and was en-
gagged IN the peaceful occupation Of
farming until 1876 when hostilities be-
gan between Great Britain and the
colonies. The patriotic courage of
Kirkwood did not waver as to its
proper course. He enlisted in the Con
tinental army and was made q lieu
tenant i'm the Delaware regiment com
manded by Colonel Hazlet, and re-
manned I'm the army during the entire
Revolutionary aWr.
He was with Washington at Long
Island and with him in his retreat
through the Jerseys. and was at the
side Of the lamented Hazlet when he
fell in glory at Princeton.
In 1880 the Delaware Line under
the command OF Lieutenant Colonel
Vaughan was assigned to the army Of
General Gates in his Southern cam
paign. AT the disastrous battle of
Camden, the fortune Of Gates being
reversed. the Continental Army was to-
tally defeated The commanding Off
GERS and the greater part of the Della
ware regiment being made prisoners
by the enemy, only two companies re-
NAMED under the command of Captain
Kirkwood. This gallant remnant of the
Delaware Line was attached as light
infantry to Lees celebrated legion and
distinguished itself with glory in the
southern campaign. At Compens,
where the enemy under the notorious
Colonel Tarleton we're cut to pieces.
Captain Kirkwood was in the thickest
Of the fray and the oravest of the
brave.
When a charge was ordered. Captain
Kirkwood advancing ten PAGES in
front. bade his men follow him against
the enemy. His example Of bravery
in this battle inspired the whole legion
with courage.
After the Revolutionary War had
ended. he left his native State and
settled in Ohio, near the Virginia line,
on lands he had purchased. Soon his
country's dangers summoned this vet
eran soldier TO the field. and he obey
ed her call. The Indians were threat
ening the entire West An army was
placed i'm the field under General ST
Clair. to repel them. and KlrkwoOd
resumed his sword again. On Novem-
Der 4. 1892 he fell in battle and was
murdered by the Indians, fighting with
his accustomed heroism at the head Of
his detachment SO perished by the
hands of the merciless savage the most
valiant hero of Delaware, who had
faced death and danger in every form
in battles for his country's liberty. His
example will live TO stir posterity to
patriotism and valor.-Delmar News.

TAXEs AND ROADS.

EFT us consider for moment the increased
- taxes scarecrow that is so much talked
about by Democrats and few others in Kent
county when they consider the subject of good
roads We can't have the roads because they will
increase taxes, they say.
This kind of talk usually emanates from the
little politicians of enKt county who think that
any change in the method Of making roads would
cause the evy Court to lose the political pap
that goes with the appointment OF the small
army Of generally incompetent road overseers.
How does the present method work in practice
The county levies taxes mucts the property own
ers for the maintenance Of the roads and then
gives them little or nothing in return.
We have heard numerous property owners in
Kent object TO the way the county collects
money for the purpose of keeping the present
roads in repair and then gives the taxpayers
nothing in return for their money.
The men who profess TO improve the roads
under the present method often make them worse
They know little about scientific proper road
building The money a rule is used ineffec7
lively Would not il then be better TO pay in
creased taxes if it should be assured that the
money would be effectively spent for good roads?
