The PENINsULAR SHIP CANAL-The Pha.
delphia LeClger Of yesterday says: The Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company, which has
recently completed its line of railroad to
Chicago, AMI is competing with the other great
trunk roads for Western traffic, is seeking a
safer and shorter outlet from Baltimore to the
sea, and coutsmplates building ship canal to
connect the Chesapeake and Delaware bays
The map aud profes of the route selected have
been filed in the Office of the Secretary of State
of Delaware, and it is said that the railroad
company intends TO issue stock immediately
and commence the work. The canal will con-
meet the waters Of the Sassafras river, which
enpties into Chesapeake bay little north of
Baltimore, and of the Blackbird creek, which
empties into the Delaware bay near Bombay
Hook. The distance from the point where the
Sassairas river is navigable to the mouth of
Blackbird creek ia seventeen miles, which will be
the entire length of the canal without locks
The canal Ia to be one hundred feet wide on
the surface, and twenty five feet deep at low
water capable OF floating the largest class Of
* vessels as well as the internal com
Inerce OF the States II is claimed that the
saving in distance by this route from Bati-
more to the sea will be 225 miles.

DON'T WASTE Your SYMPATHY. Some of
the Democratic papers are condoling with Mr.
Riddle, Of the State Senate, that he has no
political associates to keep him company in the
Legislature. He is the only Republican of the
thirty members who compose our General
Assembly.
Mr.. Riddle may have feelings of loneliness
come over him,in his political isolation, but he
can while away the time in such manner as
to need no sympathy, if so inclined, we
imagine. Instead of being the lone, lorn
individual the Democratic organs have painted
him, he may turn out to be the bull in the
Legislative china shop. He goes there with
some popular, progressive ideas. What he
thinks about representation, education, attach
ment of wages, exemption of diStrained prop
erty, &c, may come up in the shape of bills
at his hands, and he may cause his twenty-nin
colleagues to make some good laws or some baG
records True, they can out vote him, but he
can introduce measures equal to the liveliest O
them, and if the twenty mine be not in ac
cord with public sentiment on these measures
their sympathy for Mr. B. may be turned t
censure. At all events it is well enough to lay
the sympathy by until called for. There is M
telling what the leaver Of Republicauism ma,

Tue EDITORIAL ASsoCIATION.-An Edito-
rial Association was organized at Salisbury,
Md, last week, by number of the newspaper
men of the Peninsula. We give the proceed
ings elsewhere. The attendance was small ;
only eleven representatives from the forty odd
daily and weekly newspapers published be-
tween the two bays. The meeting was large
enough, however, to put the organization on
its feet, and having done thus much We fee
pretty sure it will go. The meeting to be held
In Wilmington next month will make a credit
able showing, we doubt not. The publisher,
will be awake to the Importance of the move
ment by that time. They will have no elec
tion or other more absorbing matter to draw
of their attention, between the announcement
and the meeting, as was the case in this frs
instance Besides, Wilmington will be NOR,
convenient for such gathering. Salisbury wa
q little out of the way for the Inauguration O
such move, though the editors of that tow
will receive their full share of commendatio
for bringing it about.
u There is community of interest" anon
the publishers of the Peninsula, as there
among the members of other kinds of business
which may be managed better by concert {
action than by individual effort. Therefore le
us put our heads together once or twice a yea
and see what good we can accomplish, nc
merely in our exclusive line of duty, but fc
the section in which We live, move and hav
our being.
Every matter of general interest that ca
come up must become absorbing to tE
editorial fraternity, because they hold ii

editors organized last week when this subje
was brought forward. 1t is evident that th
issue will be an absorbing one in time, and it
well enough for the editors to consult togeth
on it, in solemn council. They have got

How ABOUT THIs ?-Elias s. Reed, Esq,
of Dover in letter to the Sentinel, makes
the following statements about the Kent
county alms-house
Who will not be surprised that the tax
payers of Kent county, pay oUer si1 times as
much for smut, tobacco and cigars, for some
body there to consume, as they do for sugar,
to entce the wasted appetites of the dccrepid,
and nearly twice as much moro as is there ex'
pended for shoes for the inmates-bm It Is
indeed true.
The account, which Mr.. Layton has rem
dered, charges Kent county with $5S.sS FOL
sugar, and 1896 40 for snuff, tobacco anC
cigars for 1873; over thirty. three per cent
more even than the entire cost of sugar, coffee
aud molasses for year..
These things are little queer to an outsider
az also is the charge of $9l7.58 for fuel
Things must be rather hot at the institution
under its present magnificent control, wheI
the material for calOric, tobacco, snuff an
cigars cost more than one fourth of the entire
expenses for the maintenance of the pauper
Of Kent County.

RETuEsrD.-Ph. Felsenthal, one of the
oldest, best known and most esteemed
citizens OF Phoebe, returned yesterday by
the Salt Lake stage. Mr.. Felsenthal
shows that he still has every confidence
IN the future of Phoebe, for we learn he
mas ordered an extremely large stock of
goods. We are glad to note that though
times are little dull, the old and-bys
who have weathered the storm in the
early settlement of Phoebe, are still de-
termlned to stick by the vessel, in the
sure and certain hope that ere long, the
days OF our pristine prosperity will re-
turn. Mr.. Felsenthal is one OF this num-
Der, and We are glad of it; for his place
in Phoebe could not easily be supplied.
RUSAwAY-NoT QUITE.-while the
stage just arrived from Salt Lake was
turning into Meadow Valley street from
Cedar street. the brake block appeared to
get out of order, and the team went
down the street at keen run; but the
driver was equal to the emergency. He
kept them straight, and turned them in
fine style up Main street, when they
consented to stop and behave themselves
There was lady sitting on the box by
the side of the driver, who exhibited the
cool, calm courage of veteran. She
kept her place firm and self-possessed,
and, If We are judge, rather enjoyed
the excitement than otherwise.
MAY PARTY.-On Friday evening next
Messrs. Ely & Piqua, by request, will
give grand May party at Hanley s
Hall. The invitation and reception
committees include the names of some
OF our most prominent citizens. Those
that attend will be sure to have good
time. One feature OF the evening &
amusement is that a contest will take
place for the position of the champion
Walter of Phoebe. The competition vii
be quite interesting.
