VALUE OF WALNUT TREES.

The sale OF n walnut tree for $500

point 10 the people OF Delaware the
way TO increase the earnings of the
land. To be sure, the tree in question
was perhaps much more than n hun
dred years old, and while the person
who planted the seed did not live long
enough to share I'm the reward. il
nevertheless. is obvious that there
is an active demand for walnut TIM
ber at such prices as to make rearing
the trees exceedingly profitable to
whoever may own them at the time
they reach a marketable size. This
wonderful tree. II II followed the habit
of its kind. yielded nuts that would
represent more than the value of the
tree itself. and all was clear gain, for

publican Congress to enact n tariff
measure that will convey any aHsur-
ance OF permanency. The fate OF every
Republican tariff measure In the past
three decades is proof OF this.
The reason may be pointed out cas-
lily. All Republican tariffs impose
taxation with the main purpose OF
advancing special interests instead of
raising revenue for the support OF
government. Invariable result: An
increase In the cost OF all protected
commodities, which falls heavily upon
the people.
The Dingley law. the Mckinley law.
the Payne-Aldrich law were Of this
character. and were repudated by the
people Mt the first opportunity. The
Underwood law. passed during the
first Wilson administration, would
have remained in force TO this day
had it not been for the unfortunate
election of Republican Congress.
IL was revenue measure, not favor
to special interests. And that is the
only kind OF tariff measure that will
stand.

BLOCS AND PARTIES.

A New York member of Congress
wants "blccs" prohibited by law. The
gentleman might as well de-
inand the prohibition of the Repuh-
Iican and Democratic parties. A
party is a bloc as much as bloc is
a bloc, IN the constitutional sense.
The constitution does not recognize
political parties. They were inherited
from England hike the common
law and high sheriffs. President
George Washington hoped TO govern
without parties and consequently
Hamilton and Jefferson quarreied on
the inside OF his cabinet instead of on
.he outside. The first party in Amer
lea was a bloc and so was the sec
ond party. New parties have always
su3rued as blocs drawing their
strength from all possible sources. An
ti-slavery Wings and Deocrats back
in the 40s and SOS got together on the
slavery issue and by 1856 they had be-
come regular party with the name
Republican.
No bloc can be killed by talk or
making. faces There is no stopping
one unless its job is taken from II
by the old parties. The basis OF parties
Is their usefulness IN government; {;

II does for enough people TO make

A BRUTAL MURDER.

The killing Of an innocent customer
by burglars who violently robbed
general store at Iinwood Heights.
near Claymont. Saturday night. was n
cold -hlooded. brutal murder, which
calls aloud for summary and stern
punishment. No efforts should be
spared TO bring the perpetrators to
justice.
The crime was most alarming Six
bandits. armed but not masked. at
tackled and robbed the store. and shot
down the victim. n man who was COM
ing into the store TO make a purchase,
merely because he happened TO be in
their way. Such a shocking crime is
appalling.
II is fun time steps were being
taken 20 check the astounding wave
% violent crime that is now sweeping
over the country. Coddling malefac-
tors in both courts and prison-by
means Of lenient sentences and un-
usual consideration IN their treatment
in jsil-is not operating for the sup
preston Of crime, no matter what II
may be doing for the beneicisries.
The time has come when crime should
be made odious by the infiiction OF
stern and impressive sentences on the
offenders-punishm that they will

The President Of the United States
hears that the railroads are out of bed
several hours day now. The Novem-
Der fever chart shows n decided Inn
provement over what had been ex-
peCted. IL will not be necessary to
take the extreme course of calling
Congress into consultation. With the

A DUTY ON HIpEsi

According to an Associated Press
dispatch from Washington, Senator
McCumber, acting chairman of the
Senate finance committee, has lnti-
mated to the shoe manufactures ap-
pearing before II that tho duty on
hides and skins. struck out by the
House by a vote Of 239 to ia on July
81. when the Fordney bill was passed.
Is to be restored when the permanent
Tariff bill liz reportcd to the Senate
The duty on hides. which have been
on the free list since 1883 except for
twelve years. means, as the Pennsyl-
vania protectionist Republican, Mr..
Watson. said, that every indcpen-
dent tannery will be obliged to close"

ers, who are also great tanners and
own and produce 60 per cent of the
sole leather tanned In this country.
To give these few persons. already
largely controlling the raw material of
leather and boots and shoes, an almost
absolute control by reducing the COM
petition Of foreign hides would be the
prime result OF the proposed duty.
Do the Republicans of the Senate
finance committee really mean to tax
every consumer i'm the United States
for the benefit OF this little knot of
great tanners? A duty OF 10 per cent
or any other figure would do the farm
er little or no good. while 1t would
take money out of his pocket for the
increased cost Of leather products
Still, the vote In the House is probably
to be attributed rather to the wrath
OF members disbruntled by their fail
ure to get compensatory duties on
leather and manufactures OF leather
than by any interest in the common

IN JUSTICE TO LAWYERS.

Recently. considerable publication,
accompanied in some instances by edi-
torial comment. was given in the
newspapers of this State 20 an asser-
tion by an attorney in this city who
was under prosecution on a charge
OF not paying the license fee required
Of all practicing lawyers by State law.
that he had company among the mem
bers Of the legal profession. The edi-
torial comment INDUCED in was 10
the effect that lawyers had no more
right TO exemption from paying the
fees required by State law than any
other classes OF citizens, and that all
should be made to comply with the
law.
Last week statement was made by
Clerk of the Peace John l.. Wright
Of New Castle county, in which he
showed that all Of the lawyers in ac-
tive practice in New Castle county,
and therefore subject TO payment OF
the license fee. had fully complied
with the requirement, with a single
exception. II is not necessary to
specify the exception.
The lawyers Of New Castle county
therefore. are entirely cleared Of the
aspersion cast upon some of their
number by an indefinite and entirely
unwarranted charge. This explana-
tion may not be necessary, but they
are entitled to il in justice.
