THE LESSON.

I saw him switching railroad onrs, the
chief, in raiment spick and span,
Returning, after years OF ease, unto the
place where he began,
Waving his hand to start or stop, walking
on top Of moving londs,
Being as witchman for the time TO Dfeak
the tie-up Of the roads.
A month ago behind his desk he sat ana
ordered men about
His was the guiding hand and ms uie
mind which settled every doubt,
And those who did his bidding then re-
memhered not or never knew
That that which he commanded them,
time was he also used to do.
| saw him switching railroad cars, the
chief in raiment, apInk ana span
Here is lesson then, Thought !, thh'
should he good for every man
When all these differences heal, ana eacfl
returns unto his place,
Workmen and chief should closer be aiio
meet each other face TO face.
This strike shall not have been In vain, u
only men shall understand
That he who il the chief can do thoss
things which he must now com
mand
And knowing how to toll and all th'
cares which those who work mus
face,
He who is chief must stand At times oacf
in tho other fellow place.

PRESS COMMENTS.
POLITICS BY PURCHASE.

Until William Cooper Proctor appeared
on the scene Mark Hanna stood forth az
the perfect embodiment of the principle
of Big Business applied to politics. In
the light of the testimony taken by the
Senate committee yesterday, Cleveland
must forever hide its diminished head IN
the presence of Cincinnati.
Even Mark Hanna did not underwrlte
the Mckinley candidacy IN the spring OF
1896 to the extent of $500, 600, nor has
any such sum ever been expended mere
tofore in the nomination OF candidate
for President. Yet the Proctor guarantee
of S500000 represents only part OF thc
money that has been used in behalf OF
General Wood. The only way To ascertain
the total expenditures is to call III the
Wood managers in all the States.
That eminent conservative Republican
Sam Stephenson, who was long ago
gathered TO his fathers, used to say that
there were two kinds Of people IN poiltlcs
those that spent their own money ana
those that spent somebody else = money.
An excellent example of the former IS
Governor Lowden, who has spent -
04S rs. mostly out OF his own pocket, TO
promote his candidacy for the Republican
nomination. In the latter class Genefai
Wood is without successful competition
lie has arrived NJ the distinction OF being
the beneficiary of the moststaggering iund
ever employed in u prc-convcntlon cam
paign.
There is no evidence whatever that any
Of this money has been employed cor

THEY SOFTLY WALh.
BY Hugh Robert Orr.

They are not gone who pass
Bevond the clasp of hand,
Out from the strong embrace,
They are but come so close
We need not grope with hands,
Nor look to sec, nor try
IN catch the sound of feet,
They have put off their shoes
To softly walk by day
Within our thought, TO tread
At night our dream-led paths
OF sleep.
They are not lost who find
The sunset gate, the goal
or all the weary years
Not lost are they who reach
The summit OF their climb,
The peak above the clouds
And storms. They are not lost
Who find the light OF sun
And stars and God.
They arc not dead who live
In hearts thev leave behind.
In those whom they have blessed
| They live life again,
| And shall live through the years
Eternal life, and grow
| Ench dav more beautiful,
J A time declares their good,
| Forgets the rest. and proves
| Their Immortality.

A Fight for Democracy

The most important matter now before
the people Of this city and State ana
country at large, is fair pay Tor schoo'
teachers.
Ten wears ago, when widespread agita-
tion IN this end first developed, the aver
oga teacher was paid little more thah
living. Meantime living costs have aiii'oS'
doubled and while wages in nearly every
other field have fairly kept pace 'he
toacher's nav envelope shows the least
change inward and is today shamelui
reaoction on our patriotism and our
economic literacy In cold figures, the pay
Of American school teachers, mclndii'G

month.
Those are matters of large interest TO
the pcoplc of Wilmington and o'a'e o

updcr consideration for several years
The public schools are democracy ;
first line Of defence. They are more es-
sential to the life of dcmocracies than arg

The existing situation is one OF great
peril The pay Of the teachers has sunk 50
low in comparison with the change III
ro1,es that il is almost impossible TO m

str,,ogle and entered fields where lower
