CAPITALISM AND MArRIMONY.

IT HE LABOR HERALD of this city Of
teemed contemporaries says.
"THE EVENING JOURNAL, in discussing the valid
ny of Wmiugtons claim to the reputation OF
Grena Green ignores the fact that first man is animal
and must be fed and that the best way facilitate and
faster matrimony is 20 give TO each and every
Garner enough which to keep wife and family in
comfort Economic determination enters into the
question of matrimony, it does into every other
phase of human life When the worker gets all he pro-
duces there will be found lack Of incentive
The only way solve this perplexing social problem
is to wipe out the capitastic syste mthat not only
forces the youth of our land into the state Of single
bessedness but fills the brothel and the divorce court
We fear the Herald misapprehended the import of
our editorial It merely called public mind the fact
that many persons from other cities this city
be married and that there ample facilities here
for performing the ceremonies and making things
pleasant for bridegrooms and brides There is much
in the misdirected the Herald however TO
which any man with grain of will agree We
admit that first of all, is animal and must be
fed. We also admit that IL is incenttSs to matri
mony for to be getting enough money to enable
him to keep a wife and children in decent comfort But
we do not think that the American VIII agree
that bachelors and old maids made as a rule
by the capitalstic system The general experience is
that when a young and young woman fall in
love they prepare for marriage without discussing the
capitalistic system. The young man begins to save
his money too much of which he previously had squand
cred, and the young begins to make pretty
things for the adornment Of their home In due time
they go to Housekeeping, and the young who has
good wife is surprised to find that he
money with a wife keep than he could when he
single. The young man who loves girl and fails
marry her he thinks the capitalstic system
between him and happiness is the exception and
the rule Many of the happiest and best marriages
made in this country between young and young
women who, when they out in married life
forced TO practice self-denial and thrift

An EDUCATIONAL HINT.

It HERE is one feature Of the New York school sys-
a tenn that we think, might be introduced into the
school system Of Wilmington with profit to the pupils
That is graduation exercises and class honors attend
ing the passing Of boys and girls the grammar
school into the High School. 1t has been found in
New York that such exercises and honors stimulate
grammar school pupils greatly that they compete
class honors and in the exercises with
ness that would do credit to High School boys and
girls.
The stimulative effect of that feature of the New
York system is shown the department effort and
proficiency records of all schools in the great
metropolis It is upon those that the award
of class honors based The children are fully aware
of that fact, and those who ambitious for class
preferment work ndustriously to obtain high marks
for EFFORT and proficiency and also careful to keep
their department what it ought to be.
The New York common school system is concededly
the best in the United States ought be It has
had millions upon millions of dollars poured out Of
the treasury Of the most liberal city in the world
make it what it is. That great outlay money has
been supplemented by the good work done by DR.. Will
liam H. Maxwell the city superintendent, and able
staff of wel-paid subordinates recruited from all
tous Of our country. The grammar school gradua-
ton exercise is esteemed Of the best Of
that system for getting the younger pupils the
best there is in them. it also introduces into the
grammar school a modified form of that High School
class spirit that makes for such good results in stimu
lating effort and arousing pride among the boys and
girls.
Even such wide-awake and enterprising
George w. Twtmyer, efficient school superinten-
dent cannot accomplish everything at He al
ready has done much for the good of the public
school system here, and his work is viewed with
general appreciation That he has accomplished
much is due the fact that he has had
open mind that enabled him to accept suggestions
and to them with intelligence that has pro-
duced results It may be that sometime he may have
leisure consider the above information and to take
interest enough in the subject TO make inquiry in New
York relative to the effect of such exercises have
discussed II he should be disposed we feel sure
he will discover that they have made for better
conditions and higher ideals in all the grammar schools
in the great metropolis. they will do that for New
York which has polyglot population, they should do
more for city where the teachers do not
have contend with such conditions prevail in that
city.

NOT A PARTY ORGAN.

VATs have received from one Of subscribers
short letter commenting upon the Delaware river
waterfront exploitation scheme of the Wilmington
Terminal Company and its allies. In it this question
is asked:
"Is it not strange that THE EVENING JOURNAL
which is a Republican newspaper should criticize so
severely the actions Of Republican City Council?"
No it is not strange, but regrettable that have
TO do so. THE EVENING JOURNAL is Repub-
can newspaper, not party organ. First and fore
most il is the peoples paper. When Republicans or
Democrats endeavor to exploit the interests of the
people and the taxpayers of the city the State
know no politics. The very minute a Republican
tries to engage in such exploitation work he ceases
to be a Republican, because the principles of the
Republican party demand the protection and not the
exploitation of public interests. No Republican who
resorts to crooked unpatrotic practices in public
office need look to THE EVENING JOURNAL for COM
fort or protection It is not that sort of Republi-
can paper Under such circumstances it will pillory
Republican as quickly it will pillory Democrat.
Nor will THE EVENING JOURNAL carry its Re-
pubcanism to the extent of Withholding from
worthy Democrat full praise for any commendable
public act he may do That has been demonstrated
time and again The fact that THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL enjoys the distinction of having daily circula-
ton 5000 greater than that of other news
paper published in the State of Delaware shows that
independence fairness and newsness are fully ap-
precated by the public
In this Delaware river waterfront fight we demand
ed publicity because thought the public was en-
titled to know what had been going in the Star
Chamber in City Hall between Councilmen and the
representatives of those who interested in ex-
plotting the riverront property with national and city
funds That demand has been needed and the pro-
posed agreement is before the taxpayers. Now we are
making an additional fight to compel Council and the
and Sewer Directors to refuse to enter
into any agreement that does not carry with it ample
compensation for the use of the citys influence and
the money of the Wilmington taxpayers. That is all
there is to it. The question whether City Council is
controlled by Republicans or Democrats Is not an
element in the situation far affected. In
dealing with questions that affect detrimentay fa
voraby the welfare of the city and the pockets Of the
taxpayers, THE EVENING JOURNAL knows party
and desires to know 1t stands for the people
against injustice inflicted sought to be inflicted, by
any belonging to any party

Getting rid Of catarrh is an easy

Germs cause catarrh. You know
that, and you also know that in order
10 end catarrh you must dstroy the
germs. Sprays and douches will not
kill the germs. Liquid cannot pene-
trate into the folds and crevices of
the mucous membrane of the nose and

or even the tubes that lead TO the
lungs.
In every HYOMEI outfit, which Is

bottle of antiseptic liquid that will
kill catarTh germs.
Pour a few drops of this LIQUID into
the little hard rubber inhaler which
comes with the outfit and breathe this

It's pleasant, soothing and healing.

conclusions to who is doing the paying and who
is doing the tax-dodging.

II uuquesonably is the desire of the Federal Govern

low as business prudence will permit Agitation for
penny postage is all right and looks to the creation Of
a condition that would be highly gratifying all Amer
leans There is another side to the question that is
worthy of consideration however and that is the busi
side The present administration of the Postoce
Department is admirable and is resulting in many
benefcent reforms Therefore we do think anything
should be done to embarass the administration. Penny
postage would glorfy in the public mind any admin
istraton that might bring It about il based sound
business principles On the other hand il would bring
with It public condemnation If it were entered into
without due deliberation. With the Postofice Depart
ment emerging from financial demoralization show
ing surplus instead Of deficit feel the Amer

time comes for cutting the present letter rate in

TAT ILN1NGTON has a baseball team this season Of
w which the most ardent and discriminating To-
cal fan we'll may be proud The opening game in Tren-
ton resulted in a score Of to in favor of home team
The game between the local and the Trenton teams on
the home grounds yesterday resulted in score OF to
in favor of the home team. 1t also demonstrated
that the Wilmington team is well balanced and that 1t
promises to give to the other teams in the TrState
League a sharp brush for the championship.
The game yesterday one OF the best ever played
on the local diamond Up to the eighth inning not
run had been made either by the Wilmington or Tren-
ton players In the eighth inning the Trentonians made
one run and the Wimingtonans failed to score That
made it look II the final score would be TO in
favor of the Trentonans Judging by the the close
play had been going In the ninth inning, however,
the home not only kept the Trentonans from in
creasng their score but made a Garrison finish. 1t
snached victory from defeat and shifted the Trenton
ians who previously had done splendid work, from
beneath the laurel to the shadow of the weeping will
low.
Il is safe to say that if throughout the season our
home team and the visiting teams will play good ball
as was played yesterday. Wilmington will become
knowa as Of the best baseball cities of its size

DEMOCRACY AND GARBAGE CONTRACTS.

THE parting gift OF the Democratic members of the
Board Of Health to the taxpayers of the city of
Wilmington consisted Of garbage removal contracts
$lSSSS higher than there any necessity them
to be The excuse Of those members accepting the
high bids and rejecting the low was that certain
of the low bidders had failed to comply IN all respects
with the specifications. We wonder If any such plea
would have been made the low bidders had CHANGED
to be those in whom the retiring members OF the DEM
ocratic board had friendly interest. Certainly il is
the duty of Mayor Howell and City Solicitor Hastings
20 upset those contracts II there be any legal way TO
do it, and to give to the taxpayers the benefit of
low bids
It is surprising that Democratic officials, tho
very eve of retirement should have struck such a
blow at the city treasury. One would have thought
they would have conspired to comport themselves
in the last day Of their official life that they would
have left the Health Department carrying with them
the respect and the thanks the people and the tax
The city should mot be left helpless BY the
fact that in the eleventh hour of their official life
those forgot their duty to the public in
