SOME -CEHIExNxAE- LxIEREAE1
OF DELAWARE

or DELAWARE
From facts CLEANED BY visit ofa HERALD
representative to . gentleman belonging 70
to the State Centennial Commission, Dela-
wares position in regand to the National
Anniversary b somewhat - follows. A ~
spectacle sum Of money has been donated
BY the State, publicly and privately, an ef.
6cient body appointed to act As Commission
ers and representatives of the State; Official
circulars Of minor import been issued;
applications have been made for several
spaces by private citizens; we vet have de-
Iatment exclusively for Delaware interests;
and, in word, all that is now wanting is q
waking up of the people to their duties and
advantages in respect to the exhibition. 1t
desired that Delaware, a. an old State
the first to adopt our national constitution
should be represented in . substantial
manner. t.-e4
Much is owing to pa'rio.ism-not that of
the spread eagle kind, with blatant tin
trumpet and jubilant rooster representing
the spurred sire of the Blue Hens Chick
ems, but to that kind wherein we can, show
ing an EDglishman of Manchester or Shelf
field the products of our factories, say to
them, '.just century ago there began to
fight against your fathers q regiment of
soldiers from Delaware; they fought al the
North, on their own sell at Brandywine, at
the South. When they came back from the
last campaign they were known as the
brayest squad of troops-now but shat
tered company uider Kirkwood-in the two
armies" But Delaware is not likely to
faunt striped cotton Tag in the teeth OF
gno. Bull, or in other words. do ANYTHING
worse at the Centennial than paint picket
fence red, white and blue
Though much is owing and will be will
lingly paid to pure patriotism. our farmers
and manufacturers must feel the necessity
of advertising their products alongside Of
other States. The morocco trade of Will
mington which ranks without exception
above all other cities would find wonderful
advantages resulting from such commercial
contact as there would be an opportunity
afforded for at an exhibition where the wide
awake business men Of hundred countries
will certainly flock. To use rather start
| ling figure. an exhibition of the kind would
be like banding the full moon that shines to-
day upon the antipodes with the lucid an
nouncement that
/ WILMINGTON MOROCCO
| is the best on the GLOBE and Fou Chons
and Tsi Chen doubtless be wishing to import
some Of the stuff with such a celestial ad-
| yertisement.
Our carriage trade, moreover. though widely
known already can be still further published
By this anniversary strut of incorrigible
l ncle Sam. Our car building interests
should not hide their light, nor should our
powder manufactures, for which Delaware
has long been famous, fail TO let themselves
be known by an explosion or otherwise.
The agriculture of Delaware, her horticul-
ture especially, can make an excellent ex-
hibit, one of which old Cesar X Rodney-Ee
who made that famous ride century ago
would be proud. The cereals. fruits-;r-
Guiding peaches, of course-should be given
a fair representation. An idea has entered
the Uranium of downtown Falstaff, who
talked with the HERALD man Yesterday,
that mot peach will go to New York next
year-no, sir. pardon me, but / will say
d-n New York and her market: only twen-
ty-five cents crate for our peaches, and
have to pay more than that for picking and
shipping: | rei:erate it, Damn New York ::
but sye will get her next year-not single
peach-unless it be an occasional rotten one
shall go there
What will be done with them my dear
sir" said l.
/ oh" said the fat old fellow. '.don't YOU
know Why, Wen send them all to the
Centennial, of course"
No. doubling but that the old gen.lem an
is somewhat too sangune abou. the Centen-
nial peach market. taking to mind the i'm
mense multitude of fruit consumers that
will be in Philadelphia next year. their holi-
day appetites, ETC., thee is no reason why
10 peaches should fail to demand high
and constant price.
