~T~HD tweuty-uxth annual convention OF the PENN
suis- Horticultural Society will be held in this city
tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday. 1t Will be fol-
lowed by the annual convention Of the Delaware State
Corn Growers Association on Thursday afternoon and
ali day Friday The two conventions will bring to
oy hundreds OF visitors the districts Of the
State and the peninsula. They should be welcomed
daily by wilmingtonians and everything possible
should be done to make their stay here both pleasant
and profitable One Of tho prime objects IN having
the two conventions held here is to bring about
greater frendIness and better understanding between
Wlmin gtonans and their nelghbors the peninsula.
The meetings. Of course, will have educational
value to those who participate In them hortlcultur
lists and agrcuturi ristsy Those educational benes might
be obtained just sB we'll however we're the meetings
held elsewhere The object in having them held here
that they would be advertised better, that the ad
vertisng would benefit Wilmington the State and the
peninsula whole, that better larger trade
relations would be established between city and
the rural districts result of more intimate
quaiutance with the trading opportunities which our
city supplies
The Wilmington Chamber of Commerce 10 in active
charge of the local arrangements for the conventions
That fact shows how acute the interest s In this city,
and how desirous the Wilmington business are
that there shall be better understanding between the
urban and the rural sections OF the peninsula All the
publicity leading up to the conventions has been han
died by the Chamber Of Commerce under the capable
management OF R. J. Maclean. Since December 1. for
instance, the Chamber has sent out FIVE newspaper
stories averaging column each to 157 newspapers
in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania.
Two newspaper stories, averaging a half column
each have been to 200 Of the leading horticu-
ural and agricultural journals in the United States
and Canada, informing them that the conventions will
be held in the DUPONT auditorium this week and that
valuable information will be disseminated. In addi-
ton, the Chamber has general invitation to
everyone, men and women to attend the opening
cises in the auditorium Tenth and Market streets
at 1890 o'clock tomorrow morning. II will be seen
therefore that II the conventions not prove sue
in point Of attendance public interest and pub
lioty, It will be the fault OF the Chamber of Com

WILMINGTON VS.. NEWARK.

THE State meteorological Laboratory should be sit
uated where it will be most convenient to the
largest number of physicians who desire it, Del
aware College, in Newark. certainly is not that place
census Of medical practitioners would show
that Wilmington is the place That fact is
what gives strength to the movement headed
by the Delaware State Medical Society and the
Homeopathic Medical Society, to have the laboratory
moved from Newark to this city No doubt it also viii
be convincing argument in favor OF the passage of
bill by the Legislature directing that the change be
made
laboratory situated in Newark is inconvenient not
only to Wilmington physicians but also to those living
down the State There few Of them who cannot
get to and from Wilmington more readily than from
Newark. In addition, OF the work that is done
in the State Laboratory comes from Wilmington phys-
clans who protest earnestly and properly against be-
ing compelled TO go to. to send to- Newark every
time they wish a test made
The physicians have desire 10 do anything that
will njure Newark is it likely that the removal OF
the laboratory will do material damage to that town
They simply desire that the State Laboratory shall be
situated where il will do the most public good and
the feeling is general in the medical fraternity that
the best possible site is Wilmington where most Of
the physicians in the State reside

the Police Department should notice that 1t

Peoples Column
SUFFRAGE NOT UNIVERSAL
IN THIS COUNTRY
Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.


Sir:-In the course of editorial
comment in our papers, we too often
meet with the statement made in all
gravity that this country enjoys uni
versal suffrage" and that the govern
ment rests in the hands of the peo-
pie.
Incredible as it is that any intel
ligent, wide awake person in this day
and generation, is unaware that one
half of the liberty loving. law abid-
ing, tax paying citizens of this coun-
try, are denied the right Of suffrage,
the only other conclusion possible, is
that without the vote, we women are
such complete non-entities that we
are utterly forgotten; no more taken
into account than il we were not hu-
man beings
And strange to say, the majority ac-
cept their fate like dumb driven cat
tie" Some Of us, however, sit up and
take notice, and occasionally enter a
protest against such oblivion toward
this indispensable half of the human
race
In 9 of our states, suffrage is uni
versal; in them, the government does
rest in the hands of the people. But
in the other 80 states of our Union,
that half of the people on whom falls
the burden of bearing men," il not
arms" are denied the right of free
born citizens to the protection Of the
I ballot.
Thus Ignored, women are classed by
those who are indebted to them In
such large measure, for .heir very
existence, in the ranks of idiots, pau
pers, criminals and children.
Mr. Editor, we are the only hopless
"incurables" in the list! Our dis
ability cannot be outgrownl For the
others there is a chance.
And we would not overcome our all
ment If we could. We are glad that
we are women. and that most of us
are womenly women. But we do
want TO be recognized as entities in
the state. entitled as human beings
to express ourselves concerning the
conditions under which we live, and
which affect us deeply as they dc
our brothers.
In affairs as they exist. the govern
ment does not rest in the hands oi
the people. but in the hands Of the
men people" So long as the voters
consist of men only, It is idle to as
sert that ours is a government of, by
and for the people. or that It is a Just
government, for Just governments de-
rive their powers from the consent oi
the governed; not half the governed
May Delaware be the frst of the
thirteen Original States" to estab-
lish true democracy.

rHE ONE aREAT REASON.

r ROM Democratic the information
that an effort will be made to eliminate partisan
politics from the present session Of the Legislature
in the introduction and consideration OF bills. How
does that information comport with the fact that
the day Immediately preceding the opening Of the
sion the Democratic State Committee held special
meeting for the express purpose Of consider
ing partisan legislation and delegated its powers
special committe consisting OF practical politicians
who are to serve advisory steering committee
for the Democratic members Of the Legislature? II
seems that such action contradcts naty the
ent pretense Of non-partisanship.
Notwithstanding the fact that the people Of Della
ware repudated, by the election OF Republican Gov
ernor and Republican State Senate, the Democratic
platform the panks it contained it has been
announced openly within the last week that it is the
Democratic plan to frame bills based upon each Of
those repudated planks and to submit them to tho
Legislature for passage That certainly does look
much like wholesome desire to steer clear Of partisan
legislation
There is, reason, and only one, why the Demo-
Gratis will not pass partisan legislation OF the
virulent type That is because the State Senate and
the Governor are Republican, and the Democrats will
be unable to get such legislation through It is
less for either the Democratic politicians or legsla-
attempt put their side the partisan legis
lation programme upon any higher ground.

THAT pEMOCRATIC MONEY.

From the Wilmington Morning News
(Rep.)
After doing for some time, Every
Evening has awakened with start
to the Importance OF a story which
1t published shortly before the close
Of the campaign. This, article related
to the alleged movements Of some
men whose name has not been pub
lished, but who is said by Democratic
newspapers to have travelled through
Kent county distributing money to fur
ther Mr.. Saulsbury's interests.
Doubtless at the time of the publi-
cation there was no serious intent on
the part of the Democrats to investi-
gate the matter.
The purpose Of the publication ap-
peared to be to show that while the
Democrats we're fearful that the Re-
publicans would use money they
would show by comparison how right
eous and politically holy the Kent
Democrats we're. Think of them
handing back with indignation the
money proffered, according to theil
own statements, by the travelling
Democratic dough bag"
All this happened, according to the
Democrats, two months ago, and yet
these Democrats, declaring that they
had positive information of an al.
legged attempt to corrupt the elections
we're unable to induce Attorney-Gen.
eral Gray to investigate, although nov
there is talk of having the Legislature
investigate or OF having the matter
called % the attention OF the United

The possibilities are interesting. fol
It is charged that the money wal
sent here by the Democratic nationa
committee and the committee failed
to make reply to inquiries Assuming
the Kent county statement is correct
It might be pertinent to inquire how
much of the million dollars that thu
Democratic committee used for cam.
paign purposes was distributed Al
