A Friendly Criticism on wilmington.


This is a prosperous, growing city and it de-
serves all it's prosperity. It's manufacturers,
merchants, and business men are generally intel
ligent, enterprising and wide-awake, up to the
times in all things and ahead of their neighbors
In many There is one criticism which we desire
to make however, and as it is well intended, we
know her people will take it in good part 1t is
that there is not enough city pride among its
people. Because they are so near to larger
city they seem to consider themselves its suburb.
They look too Philadelphia to much, and they run
there too much. 1t would be better for her II
Philadelphia was a thousand miles away. Ii
Wilmington was Western city distant from any
larger one, her importance in the eyes OF her
own people would be increased ten-fold. They
would have more city pride, think more Of them
selves. claim more for themselves, and become
more aggressive and self-relant. This is the
great error of her people, and il should be cor
rected. Let them cease to look to Philadephla
and more to themselves for everything. Let
them give their orders to their own manufac-
lures, buy their goods of their own merchants,
employ their own architects and mechanics igive
orders to their own artists, take their own news
papers, and thus keep their money circulating
from pocket to pocket amongst themselY es
They are all mutually dependent upon eacl
other II the manufacturers and merchants
cannot sell their wares, they cannot rent, buy OF
build houses. The more they can sell, the more
they can spend in creating the necessarles and
luxuries which enter into the growth OF the city
Every dollar spent in Philadelphia by the shop
pers Of Wilmington goes to the increase and de
velopment Of that city and is 30 much takeI
from the growth and wealth OF your own. Il
this custom were universal, the business OF you
own city would be prostrated. 1t is prostrate'
and its development hindered by every shoppe
who goes away to spend money, and there is NJ
excuse for 1t. Goods can be bought as oheapl!
in your own city as in the neighboring one, an
il there is not such variety to select from il
because your course prevents it. Let the DC
mand be made and whatever you may want wi
be nrnYidad.

The Wansrr Failure.


A meeting Of the creditors OF VIM. II. Wanser,
of New York, the peach commission man, was
held in that cityon Saturday. A majority Of the
creditors were represented. The assignees said
his liabilities would amount to 1000, but no
list was made out, and the impression seems to
be generally that they will amount to more than
that. His assets were placed at $4,000, con-
sistipg OF book accounts, debts, property mort
Cages &c. Mr.. Wanser proposed through his
assignees to pay % per cent. at 6, 12, IL and "a
months without interest, and the creditors to
reached, but considerable feeling was manifested,
ant il is doubtful il he obtains the majority Of
the creditors to sign off, as the statement was
looked upon as very bad and in the opinion OF
many, he should have failed two years ago.
