ENGLIsH MAKES 4 coon APPOINTMENT.

ID OSTMAsTER ENGLISH has made mistake in
the selection Of George w sasse. a Democrat, to
he assistant superintendent Of mails. Mr. sasse has
been identified for many years with the postal service
and also with the volunteer fire department in this
city. His faithfulness and ability letter carrier
have for him the important place to which he
has been appointed. just his executive ability and
fearlessness in lighting conhagratons won for him
the position of Fire Chief several years ago
While not in sympathy with the political views
affiliations of Postmaster English. think Il only
Just to say him that II he displays the wisdom
In making other appointments that he has done in
appointing his assistant superintendent Of mails his
administration of the Office should be successful
Mr. sasse is a Democrat, hut he never has been an
offensive partisan. Those who know him well assert
that under circumstances will he he a party any
effort that may be made the local postofce

and industry are booming. Her docks
are busy hives. working at very high
pressure. The present is a period of
undoubted prosperity. This is not
chance happening, but the continu-
alton of the notable success which the
enterprise OF Holland has enjoyed in
all fields during her free trade era.
Holland has had free trade during
sixty years, and in that period her
imports have increased eighteen-fold.
The upward tendency in both practic-
ally is unbroken Between 1898 and
1908 her shipping improved so per
cent; exports of agriculture produce
were in 1907. 60 per cent greater than
they were in 1897. and no industry
in Holland so emphatically rejects
duties as does agriculture. To quote
an example: One farmer who, antil
recently. owned one farm in the north
of Holland and another Just over the
border i'm Germany. The first was
under free trade; the second enjoyed
protection; conditions and soil were
equal. Yet IT was the free trade farm
that fourished.
The Dutch people are placed so
that they do not need to go far
afield to see the results of protec
ton i'm Europe. Some employees of
the Netherlands State Railways have
to live on the German side of the
frontier. In such cases the State, in
view of the higher cost of living in
the. Fatherland, gives it's workers an
allowance Of % per cent over normal
wages. Again, Enschede is a textile
manufacturing town near the German
frontier, and situated quite near it..
over in Germany is Gronau. engaged
in the same industry. The wages
earned are the same. Yet the cost
of living is higher in the protected"
town.
The tariff bill was hailed by Eng
lish Protectionists as the working
model of what they wished to see in

electors will be interested to know

WILMINGTON AND IT'S BURGLARS.

TT seems to us that the police should make better
headway than they thus far have done in the mat
ter of protecting the people in this city depre-
dations Of burglars. Several burglares have been
committed here within the last month two and the
burglars are still at large One place in Market street
has been entered not once but several times and
the perperaor Of those several crimes has been
apprehended captured
It is true that it through the nstrumentaity of
the local police that the man who burglarized the du-
Pont and Laird homes, outside the city limits. was
captured in Philadelphia They should have full credit
for having brought about that capture is unforu-
nate that they have not been successful in their
pursuit Of the men who have been operating within
the city limits.

In 1910, when the Dutch minister of
Finance. Of the clerical Government,
Mr.. Kolkman, which has just been so
badly defeated at the polls, intro
duced his tariff bill TO turn Holland
from free trade to protection, there
was great jubilation in the British
Protectionist press Europe was told
that England's only European ally in
support of free trade was deserting
the standard. But since there has
been silence with regard to this
conversion" In fact tariff reform
is more desired in Holland than ever,
and the Dutch people have once more
declared their belief in free trade in
so emphatic a manner that protection
is not likely to reappear in Dutch
politics for generations.
In the Dutch Diet recently dis
solved there were ninety-nine cleri-
Gals (the Right. and forty-one Lib
erals and Socialists (the LefD The
new house will be composed of forty
five of the former and fifty five of
the latter. Even the great leader
of the Clericals. Dr. kujper, the
founder Of that extraordinary politito-
religious party tthe Calvinistic Anti
Revolutionaries; curious allies for
the Catholics), admits the verdict at
the polls is SUCH that tariffs in HOl-
land must be regarded as jettisoned.
In 1903 Mr. Harte van Techlenburg
drew up a tariff bill containing some
thing like 400 articles, but the gov
ernmcnt was defeated before the
measure could be introduced in the
states General" Mr.. Kolkman' s
measure would have placed duties on
twice that number of articles, duties
varying from 3 per cent. to 16 per
cent. and calculated to bring a rev.
enue of about 12,00O.000 gulden. The
main object of the measure, Of course
was to protect" some industries
backward mainly on account of the
fact that they we're worked pro
gressively into the Clerical South Of
the country. The bill was alluringly
baited with old-age pensions, of a
restricted and most unsatisfactory
kind. and the wOrkmen were promised
social reform.
Dr. Hoemskerk. the premier. had a
good working majority. But there was
one great obstacle to the Protection
list campaign. Holland knows what
free trade is. and on both sides Of the
country are people working under
duties who could not furnish her with
data to show that free trade was on
loutworn creed. The storm against
duties rose slowly but surely. One
by one the government supporters
went over to the opposition. Protests
came from all quarters; the govern
ment was unable to put forward any
effective defence Its power crum-
bled until It was compelled to appeal
to the country.
To give some idea of the opposi
tion reused throughout Holland, 800

in free trade, and a healthy stimulus

bin. Friends OF Mir. DUEL declared last
night IL was a good thins the chairman
rad decided to introduce such a resolution
As II ne did not somebody else would. and
IL probably would pass in spite Of the

Mr. Duell declares when he FIRST went to
Mr.. Bird with the suggestion that the
ProErcssivcs take up tho Governors fight
for direct primaries he found the county
chairman unrcsponsive. indeed, that nc
tried to sidetrack the entire movement
such statements are false declared
Mr. Bird Yesterday. II have supported
the bill from the first. Mr. Duel has
been displeased because 7 would not lend
couutenance TO his efforts TO hold a purely
Progressive meeting at Carnegie Hall in
support Of tho bill Such meeting should
be held under non-partisan auspices. For
the Progressive party only 10 hold such
meeting would tend 10 prejudice the
situation. For us 10 gain partisan ad-
vantage at the Governors expense would
