Women Not to Blame.

New York Times.
II is to be hoped that not much viii
be said-and nothing I'm the way of
palliation or excuse-about petty
feminine jealousy having prompted or
compelled the Naval Academy au-
thorities TO draw a social line against
governesses, as such.
There is no improbability in the
rumors that the original object to the
governess concerned did come from
a woman whose vanity had suffered
from the competition of a rival
younger or handsomer or better-man-
nered, and. therefore, more attrac-
tive than helself TO admirals in the

perhaps, as there are men with the
same capacity-but, however vehem-

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Why Hannibal Hamlin Re-
signed Twice From the
United States Senate
BY "HoIIand."

In the month Of January, 1891, was
travelling companion of Hannibal
Hamlin of Maine. The ex-vice Presi-
dent of the United states during Lin
coins first administration was max
ing a Journey from his home az Ban
gor. Maine, to New York in order that
he might take part in the annual cele-
bration of the Lincoln Club of New
York. He was at that time almost the
sole survivor of all of those who had
been intimately associated with Presi-
dent Lincoln in his first administra-
ton. Notwithstanding the inclement
weather and the ripe old age of Mr.
Hamlin-he was then S2-he ventured
to make that journey i'm order that he
might deliver what he expected would
be his last publicly spoken word to the
memory of Abraham Lincoln.
As he sat In the smoking compart-
ment of the parlor car putting away at
a fat cigsr and a strong one. the
CHEEKY old gentleman. whose active
political career began in 1885, when he
became member of the Maine legisla-
ture. and ended half a century later,
when he retired as Minister to Spain,
chatted freely in q reminiscent vein.

career-not counting a reelection

Governor Wilson, of New Jersey seems to know
how to play practical politics trihe after all. The
Essex County Democratic machine which is con-
trolled by Former Senator James Smith, who want
ed to go back TO the Senate, has been bitterly op-
posed TO the Governor and is fighting him on all
occasions. The Governor the other day appointed
one of the most active of the Progressive Repub-
lioan leaders Of Newark to be a Judge of the Com
mon Pleas Court. This is taken TO he rebuke

issue OF slavery extension squarely

We'll, resign I did, was nominated
for governor, and elected, and the pur-
pose which lay behind my resignation
having been accomplished, the legisla-
ture, within few weeks after my cleo
tion as governor, sent me back to the

Not long after my talk with Mr..
Hamlin word was flashed over the
country of his death. HIS belief, ex-
pressed to me on the train in January,
that he was travelling TO make his last
public tribute to the memory Of Ahra-
ham Lincoln had, indeed, proved to be
prophetic.

CIVIC ASSOCIATION.

WHEN il is considered that the organization
" has been formed but a short time the Civic
Association has accomplished results AS an out
come of the agitation by the association bill ere.
atng charter commission for Wilmington passed
the Legislature without opposition.
The question now before the association is how
best to carry on campaign of discussion as to the
charter II is highly desirable that proper men
shall be appointed charter commissioners. and we
have no doubt that the Governor and the Mayor
will give the subject careful thought and seek to
appoint the most capable men,
But If we are 10 have a new charter il is evident
that the interest of the people should be aroused
All persons concerned in civic affairs should join
the association Such organizations in many parts
OF the country have large membership, and with
proper effort believe our Civic Association will
become fine and hourishng organization
Sundry efforts have been made in the past TO
secure new charter. Even politicians who are
usually well satisfied with things as thew are and
are slow TO make changes admit that there IS
something wrong with our municipal machinery

citizen whether he owns property OF is renter

given to all citizens who interested in pub
lie matters to take part in the work of the Asso-
citation which is organized on the town meeting
plan Small or petty excuses or fault findings

We have often heard men criticising our officials
and other men prominent in public life. These
critics say what they would do and what ought
to be done The Civic Association furnishes them
opportunity to ventilate their views. Good city
government is put up to them. Let them heartily
join the association and take part in its proceed
ings or hold their peace But Mr.. Ward says,
while many persons are undoubtedly in sympathy
with the objects of the Association they are per-
fecty willing that some one else shall do the
work. when they themselves should take part in
doing the work itself.

The most remarkable function of
the sort that ever took place I'm this
city was the luncheon of 5000 women,
whom it took three great hotels to
accommodate. organized to celebrate
the connection of members of the sex
with work i'm foreign missions.
When IL Is considered that at the
time the affair was planned nobody
had any idea of the size of the crowd
who would respond, the smoothness
Of the whole business is a most sur
prising proof of woman's newly ac-
quired gift for organization. There
was a time. not so long ago when it
would have been considered ahso-
lutely necessary to have men on the
committee to make the plans and
then 10 see that they were carried out
properly.
But man. poor man, theoretically
cool headed, punctual and magisterial,
is needed no longer The simultaneous
luncheons all began on time, unlike
male public dinners; the speakers
stopped at the end of their allotted
so many minutes and we're then
whisked away in motorcars to ad-
dress the gathering in another place
There Was no confusion Of any sort
and all was merry as a marriage bell
Furthermore, the ladies', seeing that
the few males in the boxes as mere
spectators looked hungry, sent them
up things to eat and did not behave
as they might have done, with the
carelessness common i'm the case OF
our sex.
When the feast was over there was
nothing under the tables but the long
white gloves and the fans of the fair
owners.

TARIFF TINKERING.

nNE of the leading Progressive Republican
~ newspapers admits that the proposed fur
fher revision OF the tariff by the extra session of
Congress means some business unrest II seeks
to place the responsibility for this condition on
President Taft and holds that he should have
forced through Congress the kind of revision
which II declares the Republican party was pledged
TO- Had this been done, the tariff matter would
have been settled and we should not have had the
present outlook of uncertainty
AS matter of fact President Taft did endeavor
to secure a more liberal revision of the tariff He
tended revision, but the grip held on the Senate
by the Adrich group prevented the President from
carrying out the plans he had in mind
1t may be that had the President had his way,
the Republicans would not have been defeated at
the Congressional elections. although, owing
h the divisions in the party il is doubtful whether
4ne Republicans would have won under almost any
conditions for the time appeared TO be ripe for
change If the Democrats had won under any
bther conditions they would have urged revi-
sion of the tariff by the new Congress They think
the voters have forgotten the last experience of
the country under Democratic tariff revision.
Ii is said that the Democratic leaders of the
extra session are TO proceed cautiously so that
business shall not be disturbed, and the prospects
are that there will be serious unrest for Presi-
dent Taft act a check and the Republicans
still retain control Of the Senate. The Democrats,
however, are not likely TO abandon the tariff issue
Regardless Of the effect on business they think
there is another victory for them in the tariff -
All this talk OF unrest makes it obvious that the
only proper method of handling the tariff issue is
by means of a permanent Tariff Commission as
suggested by President Taft The tariff as
far is possible should be taken out of politics.
The business and manufacturing interests of the
country have become large and intricate that
they should be free from even the slightest dis
turbance that may be caused by talk of tariff re-
vision OF by actual revision. The time has come
when there should be no trining with so grave
and important topic There is no good reason
why we should have unsettled business conditions
and the day is surely in sight when the business
and manufacturing interests of the country will
refuse 10 be made the football of partisan politics

THE BATTLE.

MAYOR sPRUANCE does not intend to be put
= = out Of the running so easily as some think.
AS boy the present Mayor could whip without
much exertion any other lad who was so foolish as
to try hstc conclusions with him, and we fancy
that he will give the Democrats who are seeking
his scalp lively tussle
The commotion has been caused by dissatisfac-
ton over the recent appointment by the Mayor
Of Street and Sewer Director. certain people
wanting one man and certain others another
We presume that Street and Sewer Director
Murphy who was keen leader in the old days and
who has retained his acumen TO the present, will
aid the Mayor in the coming struggle. In fact it
would not be strange il the present Democratic
contest should resolve itself into battle for poli
cal supremacy and leadership between Mr. MUIR
ply and Mr. Ford.
Mr. Murphys elevation TO the post that it is
presumed Mr.. Ford wanted, according to common
gossip, draws the line clearly. Mr. Murphy will
have TO prepare himself for battle We don't
how he can avoid il, even If he wished to. And
as for Mr.. Ford, he dearly loves political COM
bat
1t is understood that Mr. Pennington is to be
the opponent of DR.. Spruance. Think of the COM
bat-a lawyer arrayed against a doctor--the bar
against the medicine bottlea mandamus against
diagnosis clients against patients Blackstone
against Hppocrates. Won't the people enjoy the
combat? The Journal will Let neither man with
draw.

meetings during the municipal campaign be held
