were adopted declaring that in the opln.

In the tariff on sugar, as suggested by
Secretary Sherman, was in the highest
degree unjust anu impracti cable, and that

The CONTRACT SYSTEM has again
proved that it may be used as a saving
process to our citizens. About two years
ago, without advertising for proposals for
lighting the city, the committee made ar
rangements with the Wilmington Coal
Gas Company to furnish gas the year
round at $3.50 lamp for a four foot
burner. This year the Democrats in
Council resolved to give the lighting OF
the ci y out by contract and in this to in
clude also the Lighting of the lamps and
the cleaning, renewal and repair of the
same. Among the bids opened last night
was a bid from our own gas company to
do all the work for $3.50 lamp for a
three foot burner. 1t being the lowest bid.
der, will no doubt get the contract. Here.
tofore it has cost the city several thousand
dollars to light, clean and repair the
lamps per year. Now there will be a
saving of $14 lamp on the gas bill be.
side the saving of the cost of lighting
and repair. There are five hundred
lamps. The city now pays $137.36 q
month for lighting; the repairs amount
on an average TO about $3.50 a month

II WOULD be a very strange circuD-
stance if, after allowing Harley g..
Brown to escape the gallows after putting
The lives of whole train of passengers in
jeopardy and killing four of them, our
court should convict couple of young
men and a woman for whipping and
shooting pistol in the dark at single
man, because of slandcrous tales they say
he told upon the wife and young women.
Judge Comegys gave Brown all the law
allowed, and thus gave warning to evil
doers who come to Delaware to commit
crime. II is litt'e curious that the
Dodsons should come 10 our State and
put our county 10 cost and our cours to
lroubie. 1t is not a good place to COM
init crime and all these parties have no
doubt found this out already. Jones
seems to have been elevated 20 the posi-
tion of a hero, and perhaps if the truth
could be got at, has suffered less than
either one Of the parties implicated in
the scandalous affair. Thus the evil.
doer has hard road to travel.

WE REGRET that the seeming differ
ence between the City Treasurer and the
City Council should have been allowed
TO occur. We are told that the tone of
the letter of the Treasurer TO the Coun-
ell had much to do with this matter. and
we feel quite sure that he did not mean
To be offensive or dictatorial. Yet this
was the obvious conclusion that would
he drawn by nearly every reader of the
letter who did not intimately know the
City Treasurer. 1t does seem to It's that
his bondsmen would have some Just right
to complain if the City Treasurer's clerk
is changed, unless the gem leman that
succeeds him gives bonds in an ample
amount. 1t seems to us that the worst
feature is that the responsibility of botl
the present incumbents may be affected
by the change. We hope there may be
some way found by which an amicablt
arrangement may be reached that will
not compromise either the Council o
the city's interest. The public interes
should be cared for, and no doub
will be.

REPRESENTATIVE RAINEY, of South Coro-
lima, proposes to prohibit the use of tissue
tickets in the election of Congressman in
the future by making it a felony to use bal
lots which are written or printed upon
tissue paper, or to use any ballots which
are written or printed upon a piece of paper
less than five inches in length and three
inches in width. OF course they may be as
much larger than this prescribed size as the
necessities of the case may require. There
are other provisions of Mr.. RAISEy's bill
to prevent frauds in such elections which
are equally commendable with this one. 1t
is now in the hands of the Judiciary Com
mittee of the House, where, in the ordinary
course of events, it will rest until the sine
die adjournment, for the Democratic ma
jority is not dcmonstratively anxious to
legislatc on such questions just now. In
fact, under the leadership of FERNANDO
WooD, they have already indorsed the

JOHN MCCULLOUGH,

The engagement in Washington for the pres
ent season Of Mr.. JOHN MCCULLOUGH, Ameri-
cas- most eminent tragcdian, Is rapidly grow
ing to close but it has been signalized by a
deserved recognition Of his mastery merits
both rs a man and an artist. Crowded houses
have nightly paid tribute to his genius, and as
fitting close to his first weeks labors he was
entertained last Saturday with testimonial
dinner. at which his hosts included many Of
the greatest and foremost OF the land. Tho
Supreme Court was represented by Associate
Justice MILLER, the Cabinet by Secretary
SHERMAN and Postmaster.Ge KEY. the
Army by General SHERMAN, the Senate by
Senators BLAINE, ,CoSovER, GoRDoS and Ann
STRONG, the House of Representatives by Rep
roscntatives BLACKBURN, PAGE, and STENGER,
the District by Ex-Governor SHEPHERD, and
the press by ofits more or less distinguished
lights from difercnts parts Of the country. 1t
was tho occasion Of an extraordinary departure
from usual Washington customs, for 1t has
been many years since any artist has been
similarly honored in this community, or by
such brilliant galaxy Of earnest admirers.
But Mr.. MCCULLOUGH has earned the respect
of his fcllOw.citizcns as one Of the few
in his cstimable profession who have
sought in these latter days to preserve
the purity of the drama and to over
come the hiprant tendencies of the so.called
modern stage. Having achieved the reputa.
tion of being the greatest exponent now alive
of the standard tragedy of our language, he
now becomes not only the buskined hero Of the
footlights, but is recognized as the peer of our
most prominent publicists. so much for in
dustry, skill, and the acknowledged preroga-
tivos Of individual worth

THERE has been great deal Of talk

troduccd bill in effect TO redeem coin in
grcenbacks; or, in other words, requiring
national banking associations to receive
" the legal-tcndcr coins on deposit at par
and in exchange at par for United States
and national bank notes" When legisla-
tive enactment is required to compel banks
to receive coin in exchange for notes it
would seem shat resumption was an accom-
plished tact

parsimoniously belittled. Changes have
been frequent, and, no doubt, in some in
stances, wise; but whenever men Of
culture training, ability, and integ-
rity are placed on the diplomatic
roll they should be kept there, backed by
liberal salaries. And what is of equal i'm
portNncc, our representation abroad should
be largely increased and sent to the most
isolated ports to sustain our interests, ex-
pand our comm srcial relations, and extend
the name, flag, and fame Of the American
Republic. There are many places Of com.
mercial importance in other countries
where the flag of this nation has never yet
foated over the roofof properly accredited
representative, where even insignificant
Portugal and feeble Italy proudly unfurl
their flags to protect their subjects and
foster their commerce. 1t is time this ma
tion entered the lists in earnest to compete
for commercial supremacy, and this can
only be hoped for under wise and radical
change in our commercial and consular
diplomacy

IT was among the proprieties of things
that Mr.. ATKINS, chairman of the Appropri-
alton Committee, should have originated the
inquiry into the alleged theft of the Hot
Springs appropriation bill. His Democratic
associates Of the Committee on Enrolled
Bills were too drunk to do it, and Mr..
RAINEY was too busy attending to business
they had neglected. But the matter should
not be allowed to rest with the investigation
row being carried on by the Senate, unless,
indeed, the Democratic House is satisfied to
permit such theft to pass by as among the
ordinary casualties of Democratic control in
that body.
