Senator Galliuger, of Ihe Old Granite Stale, thus
summarizes the ease:
v "Gen. Fltz John Porter was a New Hampshire man.
At Ihe time when) liassions were healed there were many
people in New Hampshire who believed that Gen.
Porter had not done his entire duty as an officer of
the army of Ihe United States. That time has passed
and a monument has boeu erected in the city of Ports

from New Hampshire, who served under Oen. Porter,

increasing his widow's pension. It is simply an act

There is no gainsaying this But. as we have said,

ator Galliuger. But. all the Haine, there is yet no
relief in sight for the widow and daughter of the gal
lant and ill-used Fltz John Porter.
It assuredly was unforlunalc that a hill for which
Senator duPont labored so patriotically and effectively
in the Senate received such scant consideration in the
House. As the Courier-Journal suggests, if the bill hud
had less merit It doubtless would have received more
attention in the lower chamber.
GOOD AAORK BY SENATOR AY ALLS.
W" :
congratulate State Senator Edward G.
AValis,
Democrat, of Kent county, upon the success
that has attended hia efforts to get through the legisla
ture his good roads bill for Kent county. He has
worked hard and earnestly for that measure am) It
now Is in the hands of Governor Miller for action. As
the Governor is an earnest good roads advocate, the
presumption is that ho will sign tho AValis hilt, partic
ularly
It provides for what may he called local
as
option in good road building.
The essential provisions of the bill are that Kent
county may borrow up lo $100,000 for road building
purposes and that when sixty per cent, of the owners
of abutting property along a streach of road petition
the Levy Court for its Improvement, the highway shall
be Improved, and the owners of abutting property shall
pay ten per cent, of the cost. No road shall cost more
than $2.000 a mile, which, experience has demonstrat
ed, Mr. Walls says, is the cost of a reasonably good
slone road In Kent. The road from Smyrna to the
macadam road at the New Castle line, he says, cost
less than »2,000 a mile. His bill abolishes the present
road overseers, provides for a skilled road engineer for
the county, and creates a supervisor for each Repre
sentative district, like the New Castle county law. The
MR was supported by both parties, after a conference
<K Kent county members.
The Walls bill will be of vast benefit to Kent county
in providing for the construction or improvement ot
the principal lateral roads throughout the county to
connect with the duPont boulevard, and bring to the
residents the fullest opportunities for the use of the
boulevard.
If Senator Walls, by fair and intelligent amendment
of the Boulevard law and by tho Walls Good Roads
law, could be Instrumental in bringing into being not
only the n.ain trnakilne road represented by the Boule
vard but also the many improved lateral roads which
necessarily vfonld intersect it. no doubt he would be
regarded as one of Kent county's great
benefactors.

PROTECT THE 1*1 «Lit.
H08K long-hoadod nud self-seeking speculators
who have boeu hoping to pet away with hundreds
i of acre» of the people's property at ami near Rcho
I botn Beach through the Blackstone Rehoboth Beach
Land-Grab hill may as well quit their letter writing
and reconcile themselves to the fact that they arc not
going to accomplish their purpose. Senator Anderson
I has blocken their gum«! by putting through the Sen
j ale a bill providing for a proper survey of ttiia public
domain on the shore of the Atlantic ocean, and that
bill lias gone to the House for concurrence. It ought
I to he passed by that body to the end that all doubt may
be removed as to what the State owns and docs not
own on that ocean front strip and I hat land-grabbers
T
I mid squatters maybe kepi sway from it.
1
It should bd said h'-re to Ihe credit Of Senator Black
slone that since he learned of the attitude of the public
toward Ihe hill ho introduced at Hie solicitation of con
stituents, lie has not been so foolish ns to compromise
himself and his legislative career by urging its pass
age. He seems to be well content to have the admit
able bill introduced by Senator Anderson take Its
place so that, if the Stale laud is to he sold. It shall be
done intelligently anil fairly and under a true and
comprehensive survey.
It now is accepted generally that if the Htate land
Is to be disposed of it should lie surveyed, divided
Into small plots and sold openly and honestly so that
any person, rich or poor, who may desire to invest a
few dollars in a seaside lot may have an opportunity
to do so. Practically all except the would-be land
grabbers and their cronies hold to the theory that It
would be an outrage upon the public tor r.11 the State's
holdings on and near the Atlantic ocean to be sold,
»Ighl-unscen nnd in block, to the Palmer syndicate or
any other combination that may have the corporate
impudence to suggest such a waste of the Stale's nat
ural resources.
Let the land be surveyed; let the thirty acres claimed
by the town of Rehoboth he deeded lo that town, It
deed he necessary, provided the tract he dedicated lo
Ihe public« use; let the State n uke such reservations
as It thinks will lie needed for military encampment
and sanatoria purposes, and then let It have the remain
der cut up into small parcels and sold to the highest
bidders, so the largest possible number of Delawareans
may benefit by the sale. After that has been done
we shall have no more land-grabbing syndicates mak
ing insulting proposals to the State such as are con
tained In the Rehoboth Beach Land-Grab hill now in
(he Slale Senate.
The first practical thing needed Is for the House to
pass the Anderson Survey hill, in its present form
or. If amended, so it will carry with It full protection
lor the public.

PEOPLE'S COLUMN
MAY HE BEI'EALED.
To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Sir:—Having consulted today an
eminent lawyer whom many people :
of Wilmington and the State of Del- j
aware have recognized as having the
highest legal ability; and who Jtas 1
been c alled into the service of the
United SUtes Government because of j
his eminent legal attainments, he con
firms our position as regards the
Bulkhead Law of 1901, and I give you
some points of his advice.
There appears in the Bulkhead Act
of 1901, no evidence or reason why it
may not properly he repealed as Hie
act. itself 1s only an offer to grant
rights when a specific condition be
fulfilled.
As the littoral owners have never
accepted tho act and received the
righis to tho land under water by per
formance of the condition precedent
to the giving to them by the State of
Delaware of any rights or title to any
lands of the State of Delaware, now
under water, there is no good reason
why this Bulkhead Act shoui • not be
repealed now. and the offer to give
rights and title to them cancelled and
taken from them and no injury would
be done to them by such repealer
they have had ample time to perform
the condition prescribed by the Bulk
head Act to entitle them to any rights
and have neglected and refused to
fulfill that specified condition.
"Indeed," he says, "as they have
not performed the condition to entitle
theml to any rights, and they have
had twelve years to do so, it might be
considered that there is a reasonable
presumption that they have aban
doned any rights or any claim to any
rights under that Bulkhead Act."
