sCUTARI AND THE POWERS.

CCUTARI has fallen. Montenegro. dsregarding the
- protests and the blockade Of the great Powers
battered its way through the Turkish defenses and
taken the city after long and bloody struggle. The
Powers have retalated by extending their blockade
Durazzo That fact has not served however, to dampen
either the fighting ardor the Joy Of the Monte
negrins. They at last have accomplished the great
work that assigned to them in the conquest Of
Turkey The interesting question is what the
Powers will do about It, They must accept the fall
OF Scutar as an accomplished fact and reconstruct
their policy accordingly
Austria-H Hungary has demanded that the Powers act
in concert at to drive the Montenegrins out Of
scutari and asserted that II they do not accede to
the demand It will take immediate steps against the
Montenegrn forces. That action puts serious face
the situation Montenegro cannot hope TO stand
up successfully against hrstclass Power ike

WILL PUT HARRINGTON ON THE MAP.

nELAWARE is TO have new newspaper Il will
be published in Harrington and will be known
as the Kent County Journal. Frank fleming, Of that
town has been selected to be It's editor.
In politics the newspaper will be Republican, but
It's chief mission in the field will be to promote the
business and social interests of the town, county and
state The plan is to make it also hrst-olass fam
lily newspaper
At present Harrington despite the fact that It is
thriving town. has newspaper. We have doubt
that the people there will appreciate the fact that
IL is to have and that II is to be under the
agement of popular like Mr. Fleming. In fact
local pride should mpol all persons in Harrington
and vicinity to give hearty support to venture which
has within il the future welfare of the community
We understand that the plan is to begin publication
May ., and that the Journal will be an eght-page
paper. Il will be a welcome addition to
change table.
We have only one suggestion to make in relation
to this journalistic venture That is that, the
chief purpose of its founding is to put the town Of
Harrington the map. its name should be the Har-
rington Journal and not the Kent County Journal
Our opinion is that a prominent Of the OF
the town with the of the paper would be good
for both town and paper. However, that is merely
passing observation and we shall welcome the new
Journal, no matter what its full name may be.

FIREMEN's VICTORY IL sUBsTANTIAL.

A RBIrRATION under the Erdman act of the ques-
n tons in dispute between the Eastern railroads
and their hremen has resulted In partial victory for
the hremen They asked for wage increase of about
fifteen per cent The arbitration board allowed them
increase OF approximately twelve per cent The
demand of the fremen for the Standardization Of
wages based tho weight Of locomotives drivers
allowed and the board also ruled that all wages
that arc higher conditions that better than those
fixed by the award shall not be nterfered with I'm
der the finding the hremen also are relieved of tho
work Of cleaning their engines. They lost, however.
their fight for two fremen all large locomotives.
Only in instances where necessity may demand two
dremen will the railroads be compelled to employ
them. The fremen won, however, several other
points.
Even the qualified victory Of the hremen will mean
large additional outlay of money by the railroads.
II estimated that Il will amount 90 from S30O0O 600
