A GREAT FEAST.

m F REPORTS are true the Democrats had
4 grand time at their harmony feast" in Bal
timore. It was more of gastronomic gathering
than political one, perhaps There was no crow
at the feast only the growing of victory in which,
sad TO relate, our Democratic friends of Delaware
could not take part
Reports of the conference say that seven thou
sand oysters we're consumed, and they we're Lynn
havens at that. Seventy-Rve gallons of terrapin
disappeared we'll as 500 canvas back ducks. 1t
took forty-fve hams TO satisfy the appetite for
pork, Virginia hams, the kind Mr. Handy enjoys.
This is rather a small number considering the
fact that not only the Democrats but all other
politicians are fond of the pork barrel. Five hun
dred and fifty quarts Of champagne we're at the
spread" although of course the wine was simply
for ornamental purposes. No Democrat who had
the proper traditions of his party in mind would
think of anything else than sturdy beer and we
are sure that Squire Lewis and other experts on
Democratic dongs in Delaware would say that it
was not champagne but whiskey.
At any rate the Democrats had glorious fes-
fival of food and feast and CAB. Ii was no dollar
dinner, no Bryan symposium of cold meat and
potato salad schooners of beer and ginger pop. In
fact the people who used 10 be the silvery bright
ness of the Bryan dollar dinners seem TO have
been cast into utter darkness by the sudden rise of
the putocratic and five dollar Democrats. Colo
mel Bryan should have been at the dinner just 10
keep in touch with the affairs of the party.
However after reading about the feast we think
there is only one man in Baltimore who is really
capable Of having arranged for so gorgeous gath
cring especially the gastronomic part of il, and
that man is Colonel Tom" Ewell who some day.
and at not distant day ought TO be Governor of
Maryland. Thoughts Of terrapin and champagne
bring up thoughts of Colonel Ewell The bright
Baltimore Evening Sun says that canvas back
duck said 10 fly $50 feet a second, but the ter
-spsn got away just fast as the duck last night"
Evidently the Sun man and Colonel Ewcl must
hsve made Joint levy on the terrapin.

Legislation for Women.

Kansas City Star.
The State Legislature, in session at
Jefferson City, soon is to be asked to
alter the working day for women from
the present unregulated time to nine
hours. A bill has been prepared by
the Committee for Social Legislation
of st. Louis.
Tho preface of the bill says there are
no prescribed hours for women work
ers and that the length of time they
work is too hard on them.
Another bill to be asked by the com
mittee is one pertaining to child la
Dor. II asks that the present section
permitting child labor in cities of less
than 10000 population be repealed and
that child labor laws be made state
wide. II asks also the prohibition OF
the employment Of any child less than
IA years old The present law per-
mits this in Industries where there
are fewer than ten persons en-
ployed. rftr

WATCH DOG OF THE TREASURY.

M ANY plans are being thought out to
4 - be presented TO the Legislature, all of which
have for their prime object getting some money
from the State. People are interested in one thing
or another and seldom take comprehensive view
as member of the Legislature is supposed to do.
They care not what others may want or whether
the State has unlimited funds
We venture 10 say that as a rule half the people
who clamor for money from the State or the ma.
tion have little idea about how the State or nation
raises its revenue. Some of them think that money
flows into the Golfers of the public treasury from
some mysterious source, and they wonder why
everyone cannot get from the State everything
he wants
Those who favor various schemes are usually
compact body bent on getting what they want The
opposition TO them, il there is opposition, is that
rather indefinite mass usually known as the gen.
eral public. When an appropriation is asked for
this or that object, the general public does not
90 TO Dover TO fight such an appropriation. Va
rious citizens do not go unless the thing is of
extraordinary interest.
The members of the Legislature however, rep
resent, or are supposed to represent the general
public. No doubt the members would like TO
shower appropriations like the mama from
Heaven ii they only had il TO shower. word of
caution may be needed at this time to the effect
that all requests for appropriations should be
carefully Investigated. watch dog Of the trea-
sury should be developed, unpopular" though the
watch dog may become.
Governor Pennewl in his message urged econ
omy. Speaking of Governor Dix's message the
Kansas City Star remarked that when a Governor
had nothing else to say he was sure to urge
economy, becaues such urging would bring no
offence 10 any one But this view is not applica-
bic. Economy and carefulness in expenditures is
one of the most important things that can call for
legislative attention.

PARTY DIVISIONS.

HERE we're divisions of opinion at the Balti
u more conference and the Democrats could
not agree as to what is the best course
to be followed as regards the tariff When the
Democrats take hold of Congress, these divisions
viii become more marked. 1t seems to be the
fashion at present for each party TO be divided
Some day all the people OF one way of thinking
may get into one party. There may be party Of
Standpatters and party of Progressives, but the
time for these two divisions seems to be somewhat
IN the future. The Chicago Tribune thinks il very
Tar in the future. At present most people who
still hold to their party do because of the name
or because OF past or present prejudices They
don't care much about the issues

adopted the platform the Democratic party adopt.

REGULATING CORPORATIONS.

HE real sentiment of the citizens who for
\ warded petition TO the Street and Sewer
Department protesting against granting further
rights 10 the Wilmington and Philadelphia Trac-
ton Company was, we take it, that no additional
franchise or favors should he granted to this
public service corporation unless the city received
ample remuneration for such franchise.
The proper method of dealing with public SER
vice corporations is to tax their gross receipts AS
the city increases in population the franchise of
any public service corporation becomes more val
liable. And this specific increase of value is not
due to any efforts of the company. The commun-
ity makes IT, And the community should get part
OF that increase. There ought to be a limitation
of rate charges.
The Street and Sewer Directors have DELAYED
action on the franchise in order to give the Legs-
lature, or the Wilmington members of it, time to
investigate and therefore the legislators should
begin their inquiry as soon as convenient
Some people seem to be surprised that there
has been any agitation because of the application
OF the Wilmington and Philadelphia Company We
suppose these persons presume that no one should
be disturbed when the rates for electricity are
jumped TO high figures such as they have been
jumped by the new owners of the company

Editorial Opinion
A Remarkable Career.

A Remarkable Career.
Dover News
George V. Massey, he who is said
to be the logical candidate" of the
Republicans for Senator to succeed
Mr.. Richardson, was standing in front
of well-known Dover peanut store
one day last week when we got his
hand and ear.
Ut might be marked that Mr. Mas
sey was not getting ready to play any
peanut politics" but simply adher-
ing to his old custom of getting down
to the level of the common people and
chatting and munching away as he
learned all the news.)
What might happen, no man can
tell" said Mr.. Massey when asked If
he were coming back to Dover and to
Delaware politics. He added that he
now had no idea OF It. But then he
has a year to reflect and watch Drex-
Ter.
Unquestionably, however, Mr.. Mas
sey's career stands out as a striking
example to the young men of this
country who are self-made and are
striving against great odds. For he
did the same and became chief coun-
sci of the greatest corporation in the
world, a mastodon in finance and en-
gineering. We have read with great
interest this brief sketch:
Mr. Massey was born December 16,
l841, in Whiteland township, Chester
county, Pa. He was educated at
Freeland, Montgomery county, Semi
nary, and at private school at Della
ware Water Gap. He studied law and
was admitted to the bar at Dover,
this State, October 1. 1865 For thirty
years he engaged in the practice of
law in Delaware, and from 1876 to
August 1, 1895. was solicitor for the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more system. From August I, 1895 TO
November 26, 1902, ne was assistant
general solicitor of Pennsylvania
Railroad. and upon the death OF the
late Judge Logan became general So
licitor of the company November 26,
1902. Several month later the posi-
tion of general counsel was created,
to which he was assigned, serving con-
tinuously TO the present time.
Mr.. Massey Is in full enjoyment of
mental and physical vigor and with
his retirement the company losses the
services of a valuable man.

$4,000 Asked TO Rebuild Present

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 Senator
Frye today favorably reported TO the
Senate bill making appropriations
for a number of additional aids TO
navigation, authorized i'm the Omnibus
Lighthouse bill passed at the last ses-
sion, for which no appropriations were
made.
There is nothing i'm the bill for
Maryland or Virginia waters, but the
shipping interests of Baltimore will be
interested in the provision for an ap-
preparation OF $4,000 to rebuild or
construct new lighthouse and fog

PUBLICITY LAW.

MIR. GORMLEY has given notice OF a bill in
Il the House at Dover providing for the publ,
cation of the contributions TO campaign funds IN
this State for political purposes. We presume il
will also call for list Of the receipts and expendi-
lures by various committees
Many States have law similar to this, and il
is desirable. although we doubt whether 1t serves
the purpose intended Politicians can devise
means of spending money illegtimately, il they in
tend to do so, regardless of publicity laws
The Republicans however should take up the
subject and pass publicity law. 1t may
not be such a law as Mr. Gormley will propose, but
a measure similar to the publicity laws in other
States should be enacted for Delaware.
Attorney. General Gray delved into the financial
records 81 the parties in this State and future At
eforne% Generals can do the same if they so
}Rsposed; so why not have a publicity law which
would soon become matter of course? We should
think that anything which lessons or tends TO les
sen the expenses of a campaign would be vel
coined by men actively engaged in politics. The
reports from Adams county, O., and from Uncle
Joe Cannon's Congressional district say that the
demands for money we're so insistent that the dis
hursers of the coin we're forced 10 suspend opera
tons. We should think that anything which would
keep the grafters and vote sellers at bay would be
embraced by the active politicians A publicity
law might help little in that direction.
