AHARp Road TO TRAvEL.-Continual COM
plants are made daily, by the riding and driv-
ing community, that the shell road, from one
of the finest drives In the country, has degen-
Grated into the worst, and an inspection or,
better still, an excursion over 1t will convince
the most reckless that 1t is no longer safe or
pleasant drive In Its best days II required
continual additions of shells to keep it in or
der, and now its condition is deplorable. The
travel over the road has worn deep ruts, and
the effects of the rains and storms are seen in
the alternate hills and holtows. Some of the
shells which were put down seem to have
been composed of softer stuff than others,
and soon wear off into deep holes. Others Of
harder mould form solid mound, which
makes convenient stand from which the
vehicle OF animal may plunge into The un-
known depths OF the adjacent mnd-hoie:
Spring vehicles fear to trust the route, and
the market wagons daily come to grief.
The slate of the road has created a diversion
in its favor among the farmers and owners Of
vehicles, who propose several remedies for
the evil. As the travel Of the market wagons
from the farms is the principal cause of the
evil, they propose that plank road be built
for the same distance out Of the city on the
King street road, along which the market and
other wagons may bring their produce to the
city. For the building of this road many of
the farmers and persons interested In the city
have offered to subscribe, and there is hardly
any doubt but that the whole amount neces-
sary for the purpose may be raised In this
manner Besides relieving the she'll road of
the most damaging kind OF travel, this plank
road will be much more convenient to the
farmers, most of whom reside ON the west of
the shell road BY these means the authorl-
Ties will be able to keep the shell road In order,
and make 1t what 1t ought to be--a useful or
nament to the city. It's one of the pleasant
est places of recreation the city can boast OF,
and there Is much more pressing reason
why It should be kept In order. It is along
this road that burial professions move up to
Magnolia, and the pitching and tossing Of the
carriages and the difficulty which pedestrians
lnd In crossing the quagmires are utterly sub
rerslve OF all decorum. The matter requires
early attention, and it is hoped that some
thing may at once be done. -us.a rs

The CHIMNEY TROUBLE. The alarms,

parts of the city, have, of late, been more fire.
quent than ever, and are doubtless the effect
of the general strike on the part of the
sweeps, few weeks back, aud their refusal
to work for the new contractors. The chim-
neys which were, for this reason, not attended
to in time, had to be used during the late cold
snap, and hence the occurrence Of the fire
alarms. On Thursday the occupant of certain
premises in vauderhorst street was reported
for allowing his chimney to take fire and
blaze at the top The case came up before
the Mayor yesterday morning, and the de-
fendant showed that he had done all that the
law required Of him, and further complained
that the chimney contractor Of that ward had
not done his duty properly In sweeping the
delinquent chimney. The contractor not
being present, the matter was referred to hin
to report. His statement win be made to-day.
We are glad to hear of no further complaint
on the part Of the contractors, and hope that
the sweep trouble has terminated sattsfac-

A TEMPERANCE MovE.-A petition is being
circulated for signatures, by the Good Tenn
plars and other friends of temperance, praying
the Legislature to pass the Permissive Bill, :"
by which each town or hundred in the State
slall be permitted to prohibit the sale OF in
tOxicating liquors within its limits whenever
a majority Of the legal voters in said town or
hundred shall so elect. New Jersey has such
a law, we believe, and it works well. Mary
land also formerly had such law, but it was
repealed, we think, by the last Legislature
Whether such measure of reform can be
passed by "a Legislature exclusively Democratic
is open to doubt.

LEGIsLATING FOR WILMINGTON. WHINING
ton persists in electing the Republican ticket.
This has always annoyed the Democrats. To
get it under Democratic control, regardless of
the will of the majority, has caused political
jobs OF various kinds to be concocted, but so
far the schemes have failed to accomplish the
sired object. The Nine Wards Bill" pure.
IL political in its object. though claimed to be
measure of reform, was passed by the Legis-
lature two years ago. 1t failed to accomplish
the purpose desired. The Republicans still
elected majority of the councimen, notwith-
standing new ward, Democratic in sentiment,
had been added to the city. 1t is found ne.
cessary to adopt other means. And now it is
proposed to divide the first ward of the CITY.
which is strongly Democratic, into two wards.
thus giving the Democrats two additional
councilmen, it is hoped, which would give them
n majority OF one in the board The bill legal
lzing the change was rushed through the Sen
ate last week, and was read in the House on
Monday. 1t will pass with unseemly haste.
and an election will be ordered in the divided
ward Immediately. By disrcputabe piece
of political legislation the Democrats thus seek
to subvert the will of the majority, and are
establishing precedent that can but work
corruption in the future.
The ostensible reasons given for the change
is that the vote in the ward is too large and
should be divided-a pretext, the finishes
OF viii h would be ludicrous if were not dis.
gusting. The sixth ward, which our Dover
correspondent says has larger voting popula
ton than he first, should be divided into two
wards for the same reason. But it is strongly
Republican. Why not bring it under the rule
also? Or if the vote is too large, why not con
stitu!e two voting precincts, instead of bring
ing additional expense upon the city-wbicf
the Democrats have heretofore strongly oppos
ed-by constituting an additional ward anC
two additional cOuncilmen2
Il is disgraceful political Job, under IN,
guise Of legislation, to place the Democrst
party in the asceudency in the city Of vii
mington.

CONGRESS has not transacted much business
OF importance recently. Steamship and land
grant subsidies have taken the time of the
Senate and the appropriation bills that of the
House. A bill calling for an American line
of steamers, of twenty iron ships, has been in
troduced in the Senate The national trca,
sury is to supply the interest on the bonds to
the tune of about twenty millions dollars, in
gold. Various land grants to railroads are
also proposed, amounting in the aggregate to
about 10000, 900 acres. So there is an active
contest going on between the land grabbers'
ard subsidy schemers." The five per cent.

commission to investigate the affairs of the

THE EUROPEAN WAR. The week has
