COMMENCING GOLDSBOROUGH.

- OVERNOR GOLDSBOROUGH of Maryland,
NJ who has been in Office but short time, is
rapidly making good name for himself as pop
uar and efficient executive by keeping his cam
paign pledges. The Governor is staunch party
man and good Republican, but he believes that
the best way in which the interests of his party
can be advanced is by promoting sound govern
ment so far as that lies within his power.
Recently the Governor made appointments to the
city board of Baltimore and they are all highly
spoken Of the Democratic newspapers commend
ing the Governor in the most lavish manner.
1t is said that several of the men named by the
Governor have consented 10 serve the public at
personal sacrifice and only from sense OF dusy.
These are the kind of men that II is we'll to have
in the service of any city, and they are the kind
who would make the proposed new city govern
nent cf Wilmington successful, it the new charter
should be adopted
One of the Baltimore Democratic newspapers
saws that il Governor Goldsborough continues
10 act on a high plane, he will help not only his
own party but the Democratic party as well. Tor
the two parties will have TO compete with each
other on lines helpful to the public service IN
which they will become rivals in we'll doing.
After all that is what good citizens generally
want-a brushing aside of petty and slanderou'
politics. the besmirchng of characters and th'
like. Let the parties contend to see which shal
give the best service, place in office the best an'
most capable men.

Stories of the Day
HE SPOKE roo LAVE.

This is Maclyn Arbuckle's story
ard by way of giving proper credit
it should be added that Mr.. Afbuckle
has just made something better than
good with.a new sketch in vaudeville.
Mr.. Arbuckle found four negro por-
ters engaged in poker at a hotel in
which he stopped recently. As Mr..
Arbuckle has won money at poker
oh yes, two or three times he has
won money at poker--he stopped and
looked on. BY and by along came a
jackpot. The ante was a dime.
"Only 80 cents on de table" said
the dealer. Who's shy? I'm in
I'm in" said the second man.
I'm in" said the third man. Dat
crooked dime is nah pocket piece. I'd
know it anywhere"
The fourth man slowly produced a
10-cent piece and shot it 20 the centre.
"Ah know very well All was in, toe"
said he. "but you all out-talked me."-

DIRECT PRIMARIES.

C ONE Of the Democratic newspapers have been
~ engaged in lively discussion about direct
primaries for the nomination of candidates on the
state and county tickets, but those in the lower
counties dislike the state part of the program.
They favor direct primaries confined to county
lines, but they balk at the suggestion that primar
les shall be extended to all parts Of the state Yet
those outside of Delaware who favor direct pri-
maries certainly support the plan to nominate
candidates for Congress by all the voters of
congressional district. They also believe that the
people OF an entire state should express their
choice for United States Senator regardless Of
county lines. And so, too, with the initiative and
referendum the idea is that the people of po-
Iitical unit should vote as a wholein other words
that man in the city counts for as much as
man living in a country district.
Under the present scheme here in Delaware a
voter in Blaokbird hundred, for instance, has a
much louder voice in the making of laws which
apply to the state than voter In Wilmington.
The primary system applied to the nomination OF
candidates on the state ticket would reverse the
established custom and we fancy that its advocates
will contend for the principle that one man in
government should count for as much as any other
man-but will the political parties in Delaware
agree to this doctrine?

CHANGE IN uRY SYSTEM.

THE constitutional convention of Ohio has
Il adopted section providing that in civil cases
verdict agreed upon by threefourths of the
members of jury may be accepted by the courts.
This innovation has frequently been recommend
ed by bar associations, especially in the south but
it has never been made part of the fundamental
law of the state. AS in other states, in Ohio the
rule Of unanmity has been followed but some
jurists and legal authorities have believed that
justice would not be hampered by a majority YER
dict of jury in civil case
There has never been the same feeling in re-
gard 10 capital cases, for the contention has
been that the state should be required TO prove
the guilt, of person accused of felony or a
capital crime to the satisfaction of twelve men.
The result is known-yery few convictions for
oarital oifenses, the percentage OF convictions
being so small, where the extreme penalty is i'm
posed as to be startling But if the law were
changed requiring three-fourths or majority
decision in capital cases, the appeals and applica-
tions to pardonng boards would be so great and
so effective that il would be difficult TO secure
any convictions that would stand

AN IMPORTANT STEP.

THE purchase of the Wilmington and New
Il Jersew Ferry Company, which includes the
Steamer Ulrica, by Captain Horace Wilson and his
son Paul Wilson mea9s much for Wilmington in
the way of developing its transportation facilities.
The new owners will operate the New Jersey
ferry in conjunction with the Wilson line. From
the beginning Of its ownership of the service be-
tween this city and Philadelphia the Wilson Com
pany has been very successful, due to skful man
agement and the application of wise business prn-
ciples.
Under the direction of Captain Wilson and his
son the people of this city may expect big
improvement in the ferry service between Will
mngton and New Jersey, and il should result in
much benefit 10 the merchants of this city, for
it will bring the residents of Pennsgrove and other
New Jersey points into closer touch with Whining

pRODUCERs AND CONSUMERS.

~ ELEGATE w. IRVING WALKER, of Queen
- Annes county Md, has introduced bill in
the Maryland Legislature for the appointment of
q commission to formulate a system of direct CO.
operation between the farmers and the consumers.
In support of his measure Mr.. Walker reeites
that he has on hand on his farm several hundred
bushels of potatoes for which he is offered by
the commission men of Baltimore 70 cents bushel,
although potatoes are selling TO the consumers
IN the city at Sl35 bushel. The price offered
BY the commission men, Mr. Walker says, does
NOT compensate him for raising the potatoes, al
though the cost to the Baltimore consumers OF
potatoes is excessive.
Under his proposed plan Mr. Walker declares
that he could sell his potatoes for say, rs cents
hushel, and tAe consumer after paying express
charges would give about Sl.O0 bushel for the
potatoes. And If the express charges we're not so
high the cost OF the potatoes to the consumer
would be less than SiOO
Mr.. Walker and others like him might be able
10 build up direct trade relations with consumers
No doubt many persons in cities would deal di-
recty with the producers bur trouble and incon-
yenience are involved.
The farmer often does not wish the trouble Of
shipping his products directly TO a list Of consum-
ers he could easily get if he made the proper ef.
fort, and the consumers to save trouble will
pay the higher prices demanded by the middlemen

QUESTION OF
TRACTION COMPANY

Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
The Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company in an advertise
ment displayed prominently in all
the newspapers. says it is the duty
of the Public Service Corporation to
be frank with the public. The COM
pany then goes on in the advertise
ment and tells about its good SER
vice, the number of local stockholders
and etc, and etc. This, We will adj
init, is frank. but 1t is a kind Of
frankness which while it cannot be
denied it is enlightening, it is OBJ
vious that it all works for the benefit
of the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company Now there is an
other party to issue between the VIII
mington and Philadelphia Traction
Company and the people Of Whining
ton and that is the taxpayer, and
it would be unfair TO have those things
made public which would work for
the benefit of the company while the
citizens OF the town did not know
definitely what they were paying for
the service
Taking. therefore. the Wilmington
and Philadelphia Traction Company
at its word. the writer would like to
ask its president a few question OF
the company to which he. the writer,
thinks the people are entitled to a
frank and a complete answer:
You say you arc interested in VIII
mington and you also say you pay
taxes How much rent, everything
considered. do you pay for your lease
of the railway lines in the city OF
Wilmington and how much tax do you
pay on these leased holdings. of
yours? The property owners in Will
mington pay a rate of SIS on the thou
sand. What percentage are you pay
ing on the thousand Of your hold
ings in this city, estimating the value
of those holdings at a price which
the rent you pay would allow a fair
interest on?
II property holder is compelled 10
pay SIS on the thousand and you get
off with paying one dollar on the
thousand, don't you think il requires
considerable nerve to come to the
people who arc thus being imposed on
and talk about frankness and being
interested in the community Why
of course. you are interested.
You say you expect Wilmington tc
grow. Why. of course, you expect il
to grow. Have you not capitalized
your company for four or five times
what it cost. anticipating that growth
you speak about. and also contem-
plating that the people will continue
to pay all the bills while they allow
you to continue to collect interest on
this mortgage which you have placed
on them. which will follow them as
they go taking what they earn. wheth-
er It be little or much?
Is this not true, Mr.. President OF
/ the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company? If 1t is not true
no one will be better pleased than the
writer TO learn the truth Of the mat
ter. II it is true you have advertised
that YOU wanted TO be frank, ther
be frank and come out and tell thu
people the whole truth Of the matter
and perhaps we Will find way tina
would be satisfactory. even to tn
majority OF local stockholders, whicl
one OF the advertisements speak
about.
