THERE are too many boys and
girls in the country and city, more
in the latter than in the former, who
are prone 10 look upon work as be-
meath them. There are thousands
of them on the threshold Of matur-
ity who retain the same views and
habits which found encouragement
in their earlier years. What be-
comes Of this class Of people? Some
of them awaken and after a desper-
ate struggle overcome the habit
and learn TO work, to save. and TO
prepare for the inevitable rainy day.
Many Of them, however, drift and
drift until they become acceptable
recruits in the hobo army. Then
they speedily reach the conclusion
that things are mighty unequal in
this world; that the advantages are
all with the rich, and that a poor
man has no show.

OUR attention was called recently
by an old friend to the unconscious
lack Of consideration Of the feeling
of elderly persons, by younger mem
bers Of families Of close blood rela-
tionship. The positive assertion,
and emphatic expression of opin-
ions by young boys or girls, on mat
tiers they have but superficial
knowledge, occasionally create awk-
ward situations, which older persons
seldom care to emphasize by call
ing special attention to them. The
habit Of treating those who are near
est and dearest to us with discour-
tesy is one that clouds the sunshine
Of too many homes. If you are
young and looking for your prince,
just test his home conduct. Do
not be guided in your choice by
what young man is in the parlor;
find out what he IS in his mother S |
sitting room. Do not judge him
~ the way he can tip his hat, but
" the way he treats the old, ,espec- /
ally his parents.

THINGS do move" if time suf-
fcient is given, has been proven to
be truism as to the political con-
ditiOns in the Sussex County Levy
Court. When the law creating a
County Road Engineer was passed
by the Legislature, the Levy Court
of Sussex was sullen and non-re-
sponsive to the purpose Of bettering
the road conditions of the county.
1t was the purpose of Democrats
and Republicans composing that
body then, to continue the wasteful
policy which had represented the
varying opinions Of the several levy

With the letter and evade the spirit

THE shooting of two women by
negro in South Milford on Sat
urday night last is another result
Of failure on the part of police au-
thority to run down criminals who
Perpetrate crimes Of any and all
character, by permitting them TO
escape to other States. In this case
the negro came to Delaware from
Virginia, where he is reported to
have been the leading figure in
criminal case and made his escape,
and stopped in Delaware, where he
found safe harbor until his crime
had been forgotten. His associa-
tons here soon encouraged his Grim
inal inclinations, and the horrible |
crime Of last Saturday night is the
result, and the criminal again fed,
and if he finally makes his escape
from the State, it is fair to presume
that Pennsylvania or New Jereey
are the points from whence he will
next be heard from as having com
mitted another crime. We do not (
believe in lynch law" as a pun
shment for crime, but the cohdi- |
ion has grown so bad, that the
negroes Of Delaware will be com
'elled to hang the criminals who {

Too many janitors in the public
school buildings have no idea as to
what their duties are. They appear
TO think that to sweep and dust is
the beginning and ending of their
work. It never enters their mind
that rooms should be not only
clean, but properly ventilated and
heated. Some Of the janitors en-
ployed in the public schools are Of
such ordinary intelligence, that the
following story which was related
OF one Of them in a neighboring
town, is fair illustration OF the
intelligence secured in people en-
ployed TO act as custodians Of school
