ScANDALous AND MERCESARY-Wel
have heretofore foreborn to speak Of the
men who operate the factories on the
Brandywine Otherwise than with respect.
But some ofthese people are shown in the
report of the committee Of the Board Of
Health, to be 50 mercenary thai forebear-
ance longer would be doing injustice to
this community. The men who run
these factories have been repeatedly urg-
ed to abate the nuisance they are charged
with causing upon the banks OF the
Brandywine creek above and adjacent TO
our city. But on every occasion they
have either denied the charge or promised
to abate the nuisance and still not
remedied the evil complained Of. And
here We present another instance Of this
character. The committee /. will be seen
in their report directly charge a Nuisance
to exist and purposely made upon the
Messrs. Bancroft's property, and at the
same meeting Of the Board of Health a
letter is submitted and read signed by
name Of this firm alleging that there
exists no nuisance on their property and
saying If such exists and it is pointed out
they will abate it. This dodge is scanda-
lous,mercenary and cruel to an extent that
we did not believe such vie conduct
could be attached to the character of any
owner on that stream. Years ago the
nuisance was pointed out and after re-
peated DELAYS iu which it was conclusive
ly shown that the nuisance would not be
abated unless the law compelled its
abatement aud when the law was found
to be IN the side of the people of the
city, then and only then was a promise
or willingness extorted to abate it from
the men who are perpetrating for filthy
lucre this crime; for nothing short O
crime it is to thus trife with the healtl
Of forty thousand people. 1t is disreput
able in the extreme and the whole com.
munity should rise and with one voice
demand that the nuisance be abated a
once. If there is one crime greater thar
another it is we believe trifiing witt
health and endangering the lives of the
people by the slow torture that results il
disease. And if the reports of the severa
Boards of Health during the past fv,
years be true our people have suffered al
of this at the hands of men who hav
heaped princely fortunes. Can these mel
reflect that while their factories arr
grinding out small fortunes every yea
the babes Of thousands of citizens ma
be drinking in the seeds of disease AM
the parents hearts wrung with anguish a
witnessing the suffering of sick and dyin,
little ones. OF what avail is the promise
Of such men as these? What do they
care for the children even Of their friend:
n the city-all they seem 10 aim at is /,
grind out the almighty dollar, and the,
laugh with caw-faw, at the terrors re
sulting from the illegal nuisances com
plaiDed OF By the Board. The injury i
not sustained by one class; the Brandy
wine water enters all dwellings, those {
the rich cannot be exempt-it is beyon
the power of man to avoid the evil re
sulting If it does result as the Boar
alleges.

II certainly is time that the White
House should have an occupant who
would show some Of the gravity that i
supposed TO belong 70 the dignity Ct the
high functionary to whom the President
tlal mansion is entrusted. The people
must be tired indeed, of Presidential
junketing when such one sided politi-
cal journal as the New York Times be-
comes so disguised with it as TO allude
10 the Administration as it does in the
article from which We cut the following:
THE PRESIDENT AND THE SOUTH.
From the New York Times of Monday.
AT the risk Of seeming TO he ungracious.
we mu I say that the daily record of Presi-
dehtlal trips grow somewhat wearisome
II Is always the same old story-adulatlon,
bordering upon servility, on one hand a

Times look Ike weakness. on the other We
are not OF those VINO would assail the Chief
Executive for occasional absences from

proprlety leave his post for any purpose OF
any place, a visit 10 mis- home and an ex.
change of pleasant words with men 1vi,b
whom he shared the griefs and glor;as NJ
the war might be supposed to be in or Ter
But these trips" OF President HAYES are
IN some respects peculiar. They are shared
oy We know not how many members q
MS Cabinet. a captious critic might de
care that the administration is on exhibi
ton rather than on its trial, and that tn
members thereof have constituted them
selves into mutual admiration society
whose reciprocal affiliations are expecte
70 please and Instruct the public. The al
legation would be plausible, though unius
The President is proud of his confdentia
advisers, and they in turn are grateful an
complimentary. The posturing resemble
little too closely some of the pictorial vel
sions Of the Happy Family, but he mus
indeed be sour-natured who likens the at
fair 70 show, or impugns the motives of tn
distinguished statesmen who figure in i
conspicuously. Only the thing does grow
rather liresome because it has had no oh
vious significance and has not risen abov
the dull level OF commonplace.
There is scarcely a doubt that tn
