A tourishing jolnt-stock company has
Just been wound up in London, which, for
the simplicity Of its swindling, has rarely
been exceeded, even on this side of the
water. The company consisted of two
enierprlsing gentlemen, who derived their
diV lends not from investing their cash
capital, but from the line imposed upon
one member Of the firm on account Of
information furnished by the other. II
appears that the metropolitan board Of
works, gricvously troubled with the bad
conduct of contractors, in allowing their
men TO shuut street mud into the neurrst
sewer, had passed a regulation giving
- los. to any inlormer furnishing such
evidence as should lead to the prosecution
and conviction of persons guilty of the
offence. On conviction the fine has
usually been los. On this simple basis
the two petty tlnanciers erected their
structure. One Of them simply com.
mitted the offence, and the other gave the
Information. The offender was fined los q,
while the iniormer received 81 los. The
iine paid, the two stockholders declared "a

tor had 81 to himself. BY repeating the
operation, in different districts of the city.
the two men for some weeks earned a sui

TIE Introduction OF Latin and
German Ia School NO.I.

We here express our gratifca-
ton with the action Of the Board Of Edu-
cation in authorizing the introduction Of
the study Of Latin aud German in public
school No. /. It is needless for us to re-
peat row the arguments we have fre-
quentiy used in behalf of such course.
aud We have hut to express our pleasure
that what we have regarded as icproach
is removed from our public school system.
These are the schools which educate the
children of the people, ANA it can no longer
he said Of them that they are unable to
give to their pupils all the advantages
obtainable In the private institutions Of
the city, or that in scope or thoroughness
they are behind the public schools Of
other cities Of the size and Importance of
Wilmington. There Is no longer any OBJ.
stacle to tho obtaining by the child Of any
poor man Of a complete collegiate uduca-
ton ~ far as cost Of tuition is concerned
and we hore to see such a spirit Of sacrifice
ard ambition on the part Of both parents
and children, as shall enable many
bright boy and girl to enjoy to the fullest
extent, advantages never before offered
in the educational system of our city and
stqte.
The action of the Board is also graft
flying because Of the evidence il offers of
the great advance made in liberalizipg
that body through the changes wrought
in its composition by the last ELECTION and
probably through the gradual influencing
Of the opinions of many of the older
members through the advance Of public
opinion in iasor of higher standard of
common school education. Our people
have long been proud Of the thorough
ness of the work Of their schools, as far
as thev attempted to 20, and that feeling
Is graz ually expanding into determine
tion that we shall have schools which we
shall he proud of, let them be compared
with whatever others they may he. Our
people want their schools to be as
thorough as they have ever been and to
carry that work Of thorough training up
to as high a standard as 10 attempted
anywhere. If they would have this OBJ
iect aceompli. he'd let them continue their
interest in the election Of members Of the
Board Of Education, and weed out still
further many Of its conspicuously unfit
members.

After INDUCING in % good deal Of pleas
ant chat the managers Of the Board Of
Trade got down to useful work Monday
In discussing the practicability of renew
ing the attempt to establish ferry be-
tween this city and the New Jersey, Shore.
As Mr.. Belts well said, ferry is what
we need, and not a mere steamboat, We
want to practically make a road from
Wilmington to New Jersey, The great
obstacles TO success Of the boats which
ran before from here, was the long time
required aud the active and successful
competition to which they were subjected
by the skills and other boats which bring
Jersey marketing to our wharyes. Yet
this mode Of transportation is attended
with considerable expense and annoy.
ance. Any Jersey farmer who takes a
load Of marketing TO pennsgrove must
put up his team there, pay freight on his
s,nii, and stay here all night, not getting
home Till late the following day.
If we had a good road to the river, aud
a ferry established which would carry
bis team at a reasonable price, he could
drive over early in the morning (say or
"'clock) like other market men, back
upto the curb ifneed and 90 back home
after dinner and We doubt not consider
able travel would spring up for other than
market purposes, and that Wilmington
would experience large and profitable
addition to her trade. If the ferry com
pany chose it could run stage liue,
carrying passengers without change from
some central point in the city to towns
inland from Pennsgrove.

Indicate any immediate intention of ex
tending street TO Delaware river on the
north side Of the Brandywiuc river, and
therefore is not especially encouraging To
the renewed movement on behalf OF
ferry TO New Jersey. We are of those
who believe that this need not affect the
question Of the establishment Of such
ferry, however, as it is a matter Of much
less consequence where on our Delaware
front such ferry shou have its cast
ern terminus, than that Is should be es-
tablished somewhere. There are some
reasons why landing north Of III,
Chrlsliana appears at first glance prefer

tact that such wharf would
be nearer Peunsgroye, but the
difference in distance would be
less than half a mile, aud in time but a
few minutes, while the wharf would be
Just a. near to the business PORTION Of the
city as would one Oh Twelfth street.
We have no disposition to urge one loca-
uon at the expense Of the other, aud we
very warmly approve OF the making qc "a
new street giving the city more direct ac-
cess to Edge Moor, but We do not want
those interested, to make the mistake Of
believing that the establishment ola road
into New Jersey Oy means of a ferry
is dependent on the extension Of any oue
particular street to the river.
If Twelfth street can be extended and
ferry can be established, we'll aud good.
but if Twelfth street cannot be- extended,
then let Christiana avenue, which is areay
extended to HE river, lie put in good con.

already on hand for this purpose which
ought TO be thus used, whittier any ferry
is established or not. A large relliup
mill is already partly built on the avenue
near The river front, aud next spring, or
possibly sooner, considerable number Of

runs over fast land a good part Of the

The sOiidiIV or Our Misunderstanding
Interests.

We now and then hear expires, Ions Of
Impotence that the numerous msnufac-
featuring establishments IN this city, con
neeted directly or indirectly with the
railway interests, have been for 50 long
time contracting their business. We be
lityv our city will have abundant cause
20 rejoice at the prudence and foresight
which ca ised our manufacturers thus
early TO narrow down their operations.
for we speak with confidence based on
full aud careful inquiry when we say
that no financial disaster, that now seems
probable or even possible, eau miufiously
affect the credit or standing Of any OF our
great manufacturing concerns, and when
better times come, as come they must,
and business rc,ives, they will be ready
to take #, which is, probably, a much
better condition than many large concerns
elsewhere, who have gone on furnishing
all sorts Of railway supplies, from spike
to a locomotive, aud from a tie to a
palace car, taking pay IN bonds, will find
themselves n.The present dizziness is hari
u bear, IL is true, but it is immensely
better than sailing on 10 the breakers
Z with a full head of steam on, us many,
we believe, have done.
Nar j. itaiu.r in ths class of mann
mc,uios that Wilmington has reason To
/ congratulate laclf on the wise caution
which the facts that they arc using hsir
o,en moaey, and that they have had life
long experience has lead leading manu-
fac.uieis to display. While our ship
( yard- have not lacked work, they have
had nc euch an overwhelming rush as we
learn from the newspapers some newer
I yards Rave bad But ON the other hand
they have made reasonable profit on
all work they have done, ana have quietly
finished their shIs ore or two al time,
amt been ddvcu into no such desperate
straits as TO lesa 'l,.n 10 accept contracts
at loss to ena1ie them to obtain ad.
vance ON partly finished work, with
" hich to complete contracts they would
otherwise lind themselves unable to fulfil.
Hence the close Of the year will find them
stronger and more fully equipped than
did its beginning, and should the crafty
ing revival In American ship building
continue, they will be prepared to meet
the increased demands upon them, Of
which their present and recent activity i.
a pleasant augury.
