Passenger Railway Extension.


The demolition of the market houses on
Fourth street is not only great Improvement In
the removal of the old and unsghtly rookeries,
but it opens that broad and handsome avenue
from Market street westward. A proposition is
being considered to extend passenger railway
track upon it, leaving the present one at Fourth
and Market, running out to Broome, and then up
to the Avenue. Some such accommodation the
Western section of the city greatly needs, no
doubt and this route, it is thought, would serve
the purpose better than any other which could
be adopted.
An obvious difficulty in the.way is the hill at
West street. 1t suggested that this might be cut
down to such moderate grade as could be over
come by the horse cars, ..and that only the mid
die Of the street, breadth enough for two
tracks, be 30 taken, leaving drives on both sides
on the present level, so that the side walks and
property fronts would not be interfered with.
These sides would be protected by iron fences,
of course, and substantial bridges will be thrown
across the cutting, at West and Washington
streets. The width OF Fourth street
is quite sufficient to give two track
ways in the middle, and ample passages on each
side, and the general use of the street would be
promoted for driving, no doubt, by reducing
the grade in the middle, as proposed. 80 that
carriages, instead of slowly ascending the pres
eat hill would pass rapidly through the cutting
between Tatnall and jefferson Streets
This proposition, AZ we have stated, is being
considered. Whether the Passenger Railway
Company will adopt it remains for further de
yelopment

DELAWARE COLLEGE AND THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

The suggestion OF correspondents few days
ago, that Delaware College should be made the
crown OF our State public school system is
good one This is the position which that in
stitution must occupy in order to enlist the gen.
eral interest of the people, and achieve its full
measure of success. Its students must neces-
ssrily come mainly from the Delaware PENN
sula, and it is practically impossible
to obtain enough ''paying" ones to
support large and successful Col
lege. The field is comparatively small, the
average wealth Of the people not great, and
many Of those who are able to educate their
SONS in College will continue to send them to
other institutions Swarthmore,
Princeton and Yale, especally-for denomina-
tional or other reasons.
The exact details of what is to be done we can
not undertake to point out, here. But we say
in q general way, that Delaware College should
be maintained as part of our public school sys-
tenn, with such outlay of the public funds rs may
be required to make it a good institution Of
higher education. We provide, now, taking this
city as the example, primary, grammar, and high
schools, and the course in the last terminates at
the door Of the College. 1t ought to enter
unere. Our Dest pupus-Ihose whose SITUATION
permits them to acquire a fuller education
should go on into college course, and complete
it. Our Delaware College should take the place
at the head Of our public school course of in
struction which Michigan University proudly
holds in that State-an institution whose doors
freely and equally invite all the sons of the
Commonwealth, not refusing entrance to the
mechanics or the farmers boy, not
flung wide at the sight Of money,
to be closed again when that is paid, but
to be opened to the ambitious meritorious stu
dent in the common school course, no matter
to what condition of life he may belong.
On such basis our college, we believe will
succeed. 1t must have the general support. Il
must not be weakened by caviling criticism II
is entitled to a whoe-hearted kindly mainten
ance, and not merely reluctant and unfriend
ly dole.

The planters of Georgia are beginning to con-
slider whether they have not spent too much
latterly in commercial fertilizers. Up to the
first of April the aggregate amount Of guano
that passed through Savannah WAS 1888, 6li
pounds less than for the same months last year,
while the figures from Augusta and other trade
