Jackson Day

Today. January s, is jackson Day, SO
called because it is the anniversary OF q
very notable victory for an American
army under the command of that able
old soldier and vigorous patriot, Andrew
jackson. One hundred and six years
ago today, on Sunday, January S, 1873
jackson. with his militia, his famous
Kentucky rihemen, and a hastily or
aanized assemblage Of other fighters, met
the veteran British troops, filed with the
arcior of their successful campaign against
tho French in Spain, and overwhelmed
them in defeat 1t was battle that
astonished military men the world over
and that brought glory to American arms
at the close of a war with Great Britain
for three years in which our triumphs on
land had been few.
1t is for this reason that jackson Day
still has prominent place on the calendal
of national observ ances in our country
Tie celebrations are generally partisan
as Andrew jackson was a Democrat OF tho
old school, but they are none the les'
patriotic. for Andrew jackson was
patriotic citizen above all else.

Senator Penrnse's bluff at autocratic
leadership in Congress was promptly
called this week, and he had TO retreat
precipitately. He had given out that there
would be no ttrif legislation at this
session, which he thought would check
the Emergency Tariff bill now in the
House. Evidently, its hackers let him
know his opposition would not deter them
and so be made announcement that he
would internose no opposition. So it is
likely the measure viii pass, as the Re-
publicans in Congress are determined To
force price-raising tariff taxation on the
people as soon as possible.

The proposition TO bond New Castle
county for a million dollars, for the
inaugurating of new schools and improve
ments in the school system, is one Of
great importance, and has large merit.
But financial conditions are so bad, the
natural result Of years Of unbusinesslike
administration, that many taxpayers
would hesitate long before favoring the
proposition. With assurance. of reform in
county administration, however, they
would be more likely TO favor it.

SOME ACCOMPLISHMENT.

During December of last year the
Southern Pacific Lines as a whole,
transported 15,342,6G6 passengers
without a single fatality caused by a
train accident.
In the same month on the same
system there was not a single fatal
ty as the result of an industrial cas-
ualty and during this period there
were 96,675 employees in all classes
and departments Of service.
The above represents a splendid
record Of accomplishment and one we
should each eproud of.
