Tobacco and Liquor.

There are more dollars spent for
liquors than for bread in the United
States. By careful statistics, col
lated from the Internal Revenue De-
partrnent, there is known to be
used, of foreign and domestic Ii
quors, something over 5000, 100000
worth! This is an enormous sum
10 be wasted by people who COM
plain of being hard run. But this
is not all. The same amount, or
very near, is spent for tobacco.
The tobacco cropis enormous every
year, and yet it is all consumed.
There are very many men who use
tobacco who do not use liquors at
all, and besides there are very many
women who use snuff and who
smoke, and yet who do not drink.
The population of the United States
is fully 50,0O0.000. OF this there
are 100000 voters. Taking the
women who smoke and use snuff,
and the boys under age who use to-
bacco in one form or another, we
can safely say that ten millions of
the citizens use it. To those who
keep an account of their expenses it
will be no surprise to say that the
average expenditure is not
less than $50 each. We know
many, very many, whose cigar ac-
count runs up to $500 per annum,
and we have heard of others who
spend $5 per day. So the above is
a very moderate estimate. Here,
then, we have an annual waste of
81 100, 100000 for liquors and to-
bacco. This is fearful sum to be
wasted every year. Can we COM
plain of hard times with such won
ton waste az this2

THE IsTnMUs routes have each their
band OF enthusiastic supporters, and the
feeling is not monopolized by any one
scheme. The New York Geographical
society has been holding a series of ine
tercstlug meetings for the purpose of
allowing supporters of the various routes
opportunity for presenting the strong
points OF their schemes. This survey OF
the gro"nd was completed last evening.
Mr.. IL. II. Hail, who is one of the di-
rectors aud general manager Of the
Tehuantepcc lutcroccan Railroad, spoke
on behalf OF that route. The Eastern
| terminus " ould be at the mouth of the
| Coalzacoalcos river; it would run 10
miles southeast from Vera Cruz thence
southwest across the plains 10 the noun
tain ranges, through the ChiVela Passes,
and thence across the plains TO the in
land lakes called the Upper Lagoon.
The entire length would be from l4O To
800 III les. The eastern terminus would
be 2,OTU miles from San Francisco and
/ ,9Sj miles from New York. The pas.
was 100 icct above the sea, and the eli
mae throughout the most of the route
was delightful. The lagoon would form
tine harbor twelve miles in breadth,
sixteen miles in length, and from 10 To

An American lady, who has lived in
England says: "For the streets English
women dress horribly, but for dining
parties and balls they are lovely. They
wear usually either white or black, and
their skins and complexions are dazzling.
But every English woman when she gets
to be thirty-fve or forty has rash break
out on her nose. | believe it is because
they drink so much. They are always
driu king wine and ale with their meals
1 They don't get faded and worn looking
as we American women do, but they
get very stout, and their beautiful com
pleXions get to be really "beery."

ments TO enable them to utilize Edison's
patent by furnishing the electric light as
well as gas.
The next great improvement to the
comfort of city life is the heating OF
rows and block of houses by steam from
common centres, In order that the hand
ling of coal aud ashes, and the dust,
labor and annoy ance thereof may be
avoided.
This is entirely feasible. There is no
doubt about it. Houses may be made
more comfortable than they are now at
half the cost, and saving effected of the
trouble OF lighting fires and moving coal
and ashes. Baking, we are told, car
not be done by steam; but that the
greater part of cooking can, is well un-
derstood and practiced. Just the best
mode of heating by steam has not been
yet determined. Some say do 1t by
main pipes running through streets with
branches connecting each house as with
gas. Others advocate the heating Of
squares OF blocks by running the main
pipe through the cellars, warming and
making more dry and healthy The at
mosphere from the cellar to the garret !;
others again prefer the use of hot water;
and this is what is now proposed to be
used in New York city. Water can be
heated TO 576 degrees, which will throw
off an immense amount Of beat.
A proposition is now before the Board
of Aldermen in New York, offering
$50, 900 year per square mile for the
right TO heat the houses of the city with
hot water, and it is said this would
amount to 100000 annually. Besides
the company offers the city all the pro-
Fl above 10 per cent. to the stockhold
ees for the privilege it seeks. There is
scarcely a machine shop or factory that
is not now heated by steam and some
factories occupy whole squares larger
than any of our blocks of houses. OF
course the pracIibility of this is assured.
But the difficulty is to get the peoples
courage up to the point of doing the
thing. New York will have to lead oil,
We presume, and yet is said there are
gentlemen in Wilmington-mechanlcs-
who would, if they could only be sus-
taiued, heat our city fIom the Christi
ana to Fifth street at one half it now
costs to do so.

ADDING TO THE TAxEs.- The Re

ADDING TO THE TAXEs.- The Ke-
publican party of Delaware deliberately
disbanded In 1878. The leaders took
the liberty of advising those opposed to
the Democrats not to vote-the advice
was given to both whites and negroes.
A great many negroes, therefore, voted
the Democratic ticket.
Now another spasm has seized these
leaders, and finding they could not
galvanizs the greenback movement into
a body that they could head and manage,
they have given greenbackism up with
but one trial, and are going to try the
aid of the United States Courts and gov
ernment funds in an effort to reorgan-
ize the Republican party.
Accordingly the same Radical leaders
that broke up the Republican party in
1878 have petitioned the United States
Circuit Court to appoint United States
Supervisors to examine the assessment
lists in every voting district in the
New Castle and Kent counties, aud it is
said petition for the same purpose will
be made from Sussex.
The assessment lists of voters issued
by the Levy Courts of the several coun-
ties have heretofore been hung up for
public inspection. And IL was the GUS
tom for each party to appoint commit
tees to examine them and see that Tic
names of voters were on.
Now, however, the Radical party
want to saddle the cost of this upon the
the people. They therefore ask for tn,
appointment of about 80 superv sors 70
this city. They will all be politician
and will work for pay, 81 day. How
long the men will work at this thing W
do not know but they cannot char.
for more than ten days, and no pay
allowed for supervisors unless in cite
having over 25,000 inhabitants. It
presumed the Democrats will ask fC
the same number of supervisors. ;
that in the whole State the number wi
be quite large and Uncle Sam will
required to foot pretty large bill
all of which will be an increase to Il
taxes.
These U. S. Supervisors can neith
add to nor take from the assessment lisl
and will only have the effect of sayl
the Republican leaders the trouble
looking after the voters. Their supe
vIsors will do this.

ELECTRICITY VS.. GAs-"THE Con- |
ING BATTLE. - The Philadelphia |
Ledger of Monday, contained the most /
elaborate and accurate account Of Edi- |
sons great achievement in demon
strating the possibility and practlcabilty |
Of subiividing electricity and making it |
serve the place of gas in lighting houses.
The Ledger had always teen skept.c
but II seems to have been made con
vert of By the wizard of Meulo Park;
for In an editorial of the same day il re
t rred to what its representative said of
what he had seen in such language as to
lead to the opinion that II held the light
ing of houses by electricity one of the
established improvements OF the day.
The matter is attracting great atten-
tiOn, and is likely 20 lead to quite aneX
element in the stock market: as well as
to delight millions of housekeepers aud
literary men who are NOT able to afford
to pay for such light as they desire In
the pursuit of their studies. The sue
cess of Mr.. Edison will contribute to
the comfort of all such persons, and to
none more than the depizens OF the
business recesses of great cities, where
on the dark days of December and
January, they are required to labor by
gas a great part of the whole ten hours.
Whether success has been achieved or
not, We are not prepared to say. But
those who have been at Meulo Park
and witnessed the experiments say there
is no doubt of it, and that the li4ht may
be produced as cheap as gas would be al
80 cents per 1000 feet. The New York
Herald, of yesterday, contained the tol
lowing:
"THE COMING BATTLE All thi.
comes back with renewed TO ce to II
when another revolution in dom as;i,
illumination is impending. If ii is
better, purer, more manageable, clean
lier, and, above all, cheaper light thai
gas, then gas is doomed. OF course II,
revolution like this can take pl.ce in
day or a year, but as the gas men crowd
ed the oil men and candle men into
little corner, giving them only he reius
of the lighting of the streets and house

still closer to the wall, so the electr
light begins to push all three Of then

think of the enormous amount of ear
