SCHOOL OF CITIZENSHIP.

IT HE School of Citizenship is a laudable effort
i to instruct the many adult strangers who
come TO Wilmington from foreign shores The
proportion of this population in Wilmington is
very large, and it is increasing
The movement for the education of the new
comers in the English language and in the ele-
ments of good American citizenship is making
considerable progress and il should be encouraged
The amounts received from tuition fees are
small, and the work in order TO be successful must
have voluntary contributions from the people The
school in Wilmington is under the direction Of
a Citizens Board Of Local Managers composed Of
some we'll known persons.
1t is needless TO urge the possibilities that a
School of Citizenship has for doing good. 1t must
be remembered that in the course of very brief
time foreigners become voters and have as much
part IN rle American government as a man whose
ancestors may have come over couple of GEN.

On Sunday afternoon in the middle
OF the Summer of 1893, the late Fred
erick d. Tappan, then President OF the
Gallatin National Bank of New York
City and chairman of the New York
Clearing House Association, received
at his country place in the Berkshire
Hills, where he was spending the
weekend, a telegram from some of the
prominent New York bankers asso-
ciated with the Clearing House urging
him 10 come to New York with all pos
sible haste.
The great panic which marked the
first year of President Cleveland's see

height The Treasury Of the United
States was being drained Of gold by
the operation of the so-called endless

borrowers we're unable TO get accom-
mediation even when they had gilt
edged collateral to put up as security.
Everywhere there was a mad passion
10 convert property into gold and

finally come to be believed that only

This placed the company in po-

Difference to public opinion. After Sc
curing these lands, many of which
they procured for a mere song, they
appraised them at the value which ex-
perts estimated they would be worth
to the trust and issued stock against
this valuation. The only way to Sc
cure a dividend on this stock is the
price to be collected of the manufac-
lures of the company. It will bt
seen. therefore. that United States
Steel from this point OF view is rather
bad company. For if they have Sc
cured the iron and coal lands and sold
stock against their estimated value
and charge a price for their product
which allows q dividend on this val
uation there are many people who will
believe and do believe that they have
secured a monopoly, are maintaining
IL. and are taxing its victims to pa!
for the maintenance and perpetuation
of the outrageous thing. From this
point Of view it would appear as II
the Sherman law might not be such

CONGRATULATIONS.

IT HE pastor of ST. Thomas's Roman Catholic
i Church, Father Connolly, and his assistant,
Father Lynch, have reason to feel proud over the
success of the barbecue on Thursday. night which
has become regular yearly event in the history
Of the new parish. ST. Thomass has achieved re-
markable success and it is doing a splendid work
in the far western part of the city.
At the gathering on Thursday evening all creeds
and denominations and men of all kinds of poll
tics we're represented. 1t was a remarkably typi-
cal American gathering which showed the real
friendliness that we Wilmngtonians have for one
another The tone Of the speeches was sound
good citizenship being the underlying note. Nc
people can go very far wrong if they follow the
counsel given by the speakers.
It was indeed very happy gathering and while
the clerical staff is deserving of high praise one
present could have failed to notice that the women
of ST. Thomas's are deserving of the highest com.
mendaton for their part in making the affair Sc
great success.

NAPOLEON and Waterloo.

Napoleon was undoubtedly ono Of
the greatest military commanders
that ever lived. His accomplish
ments and achievements are simply
without a parallel in the human race.
He was born in the year 1869 on the
Island Of Corsica. His parents were
poor. They had a large family.
Early in his career he was compelled
to struggle for an existence, and
without money, without means or in
huence, without practically any or
no opportunities, he accomplished
the most stupendous undertakings
in an incredible short space Of time;
finally becoming the dictator, ruler
and emperor Of France, and the
mighty conqueror Of the continent Of
Europe; his star Of destiny culminat-
ing, however, with the overwhelm-
ing and disastrous defeat Of his army
at the Battle Of Waterloo. June Is,
1915.
