PROGRESS REFORM CALLS.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Dear Sir:-Our friends of the
Morning News have an editorial
this morning on the united-we-stand
program Of reform associations in
this city, seeming half-satirical ana
half good-hoartod.
There is need of united efforts Of
advocates OF practical reform meas
ures, and right now, "ameejitly, -
many of which arc hung up in a
Legislature now in. recess, which re-
convenes next Monday, and which
should be called to book by the in
telligent, sincere friends of the vari-
GUS measures in suspense, and that
Legislature should be made to realize
that the people are awake to their
needs, and 10 the natural situation.
1t is nonsense to say the Legisla.
ture cannot do business on the two
days they arc yet to sit, except TO
pass the appropriations and bills TO
pay themselves for their services to
the State, in passing for the State
the Legislation they have already
passed, and refusing to pass the
shall we say unwise-measures they
have smothered. or to which they
have been antagonistic.
The Legislature passed a Joint
I resolution as introduced, to do nc
business other than provided on these
two coming day sessions, and 10
adjourn sine die on Tuesday but the
Legislature is still live body, and
/ it can 'joint-resolute" to do some
other business, and, if necessary, to
/ give a day. or two, or three. more OF
their valuable time to fulfill the PEG.
! pies wishes and behests.
II will be mighty unwise for them
and for their future hopes Of public
favor TO disregard todays demands
for true reform and progressive
measures demanded now by members
Of all three great political parties
Republicans Democrats and Progress
sives-and Progressives, or rather
/ progressive thinkers means a large
section of both Republicans and
Democrats and tho people don't want
to wait two years for these measures
nor do they want to have to demand
"a special session of the Legislature
] said three great political parties
that was a cruel oversight
women. God bless them. must today
be taken into account politically, and
the demand for Woman Suffrage will
not down, aud must be acceded to-
Have you stopped to analyze the
various measures i'm allegiance of pub
! lie demands in this Legislature?
Calling attention to the BullIhead
Repeater, the Enabling Act, the direct
election OF United States Senators
the Initiative and Referendum and
the Woman Suffrage Act; tomorrow
will give you the second chapter
Of this communication in more
complete review of public demands
held up in this Legislature.
Very respectfully,
GEORGE CHANDLERSON.

It's a mighty good thing for every

Congressman Brockson raises the point that the
consolidation Of the of Wilmington with the port
Philadelphia is unconstitutional in that it violates
the rights guaranteed to the States He calls atten-
ton to the fact that the Constitution provides that
no preference shall be given by any regulation Of
commerce revenue to the ports Of one State over
another; nor shall vessels bound to- or from, one
State be obliged to enter clear, pay duties in
other. recent vote taken by the Chamber or
Commerce in this city showed that the sentiment
here is Overwhelmingly against the consolidation
that will eliminate Wilmington as a port of entry.
and doubt II Mr. Brockson can do anything to
restore It to its present status, his work will be APP
preciated by most of citizens.

HEIGHT OF MAUDLN sENI1MENrALIrY.

nj AUDLlN sentimentality in favor of the bloody
Al handed Allen gang in Virginia has reached the
limit when petitions put i'm circulation asking
the members Of the Legislature to imDeach Governor
Mann because he permitted Floyd Allen and Claude
Allen TO be executed after they had been convicted
by the court and had exhausted every judicial
course TO save themselves from the electric chair
The phrasing Of the petition itself insult to the
courts of the state as it describes the execution Of
the Aliens as judicial murder" That IS a vile SLAM
der upon the Virginia courts murdercrs ever
received faer treatment richly deserved the
punishment that melted out TO them. Perhaps
the most beneficial act that Governor Mann ever
did was refusing interfere in behalf of the two
Aliens after they had been convicted and had lost
at every stage of their appeal proceedings. The
nation appauds him for his frmness, and especially
for tho celebrity with which he acted when the par
tisans of the Aliens expected TO profit by the Cover
nor's temporary absence from the State. Informed
OF that scheme Governor Mann hurried back to the
State asserted his authority and remained there
IN the mandate Of the court had been carried out.
There was nothing in the crime committed by the
Aliens to appeal to the better side Of any mans ma
ture. Il was a cowardly one, committed in temple
OF justice with a brutality that shocked the civilized
world It is not to be expected that the Virginia
Legislature will stuufy itself by paying serious at
tention to petitions for the impeachment Of Cover
nor Mann or for that matter, that the petitions will
/ bear any considerable number Of names Human ma
/ ture Is much the in all the States and. a
rule human sympathy does not go out strongly in
! behalf Of who committed such crimes as wcr,
committed by the Aliens Those who are circulating
the petition against Governor Mann should b,
ashamed Of themselves.

Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst leader Of the militant
sufragists in England, was convicted in London yes
terday OF the crime OF 'nciting to the malicious de-
struction OF property and sentenced to three years
penal seryitude. Following the verdict there a
demonstration in court by the friends of the woman
that the court attendants could not control. The
jurors seemingly did not like the task of convicting
the woman, and unanimous in urging tho
magistrates to treat her mercifully. In tho course
the trial Mrs. Pankhurst admitted full RESPONSE
sibility for the Walton Heath bomb explosion. She
conducted herself bravely until the sentence was
pronounced, and hlanched when she realized
that meant three years OF prison life at hard la
Dor. If the Government follows the course it has
pursued with respect to other mitants convicted, It
will meet Mrs Pankhursts hunger strike by releas-
ing her many months before her term has expired,
Meantime, there is telling what her followers will
do in the shape of violence by way OF reprsal 1t
not at all likely that they will cease their militant
operations.

Il a happy thought that prompted Speaker

ngs attending the acceptance by the Legislature of
a portrait OF the Hon. Thomas f. Bayard. former
United States Senator from Delaware and the first
Ambassador to the Court of ST. James, in the State

dress will be delivered by Professor John Bassett
Moore, counsellor to the State Department, and
OF Delaware's most distinguished sons and also one
OF Mr. Bayards best friends and admirers. We trust
that Speaker Holcomb will succeed in his to
obtain the attendance of all the former Speakers.

HITCHCOCK PLEADS
FORU.S. OWNERSHIP
OF TELEGRAPHLINES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-Govern-
naent ownership or control Of telegraph
lines again is recommended by Post
master General Hitchcock in his com
plete annual report transmitted to con-
gress. Mr. Hitchcock says:
I'm the last annual report the opin-
ion was expressed that telegraph lines
in the United States should be made a
part of the postal system and operated
in conjunction with the mail service.
'It is believed that under proper
management such a consolidation
would result In important economies
and permit adoption Of lower telegraph
rates. Now that a postal savings sys-
tenn has been established and a parcel
post provided for, there would seem to
be no better opportunity for the prof
liable extension Of our postal business
than through the adoption OF a gov
eminent telegraph system"
Mr.. Hitchcock also recommends that
the use Of the Thanking privilege be re 70
stricted ito official correspondence. not
exceeding four ounces in weight and
to the mailing of such speeches and
documents that are printed by order of
congress-"
