to the benefits Of 9 TELEPHONE exchange,
which is about being introduced in the
city. In this respect Readings a great
distance behind Wilmington, the latter
city having established an exchange
some eighteen months ago, and 1t now
has connections with some eighty lead
ing points in the city. Knowing the
advantage Of telephone exchange, by
experience, we congratulate our neigh
boring city upon the organizing of a

IT WAS ONLY on Monday that We sta
ted that the loss by fires in Whining.
ton for the year 1879 amounted to only
$2S, 441.20, but here right upon the
threshold as it were of the new year ia
a loss of probably ten times that
amount, indeed it is the greatest loss
by fire in Wilmington known by the
oldest inhabitant. The cause of the
fire is not definitely known but it is sup
posed to have been caused by the dry
ing kiln. 1t must be said of the fire
department that it was promptly on
hand, and in service as soon as posi-
BILE after the alarm was given. The fire
however had too much Roadway to be
arrested in time to save the mill or its
contents and hence we are compelled
reluctantly to chronicle one of the most
destructive fires that ever took place in
Wilmington.

We HAVE no doubt whatever that
great injustice is done to Senator Bay
ard in the interview which a reporter o,
the New York Star" is said to have
lad with him and which on Monday last
was published in that paper. Mr.. Bay
ard was always noted for his politeness,
suavity and respect towards even those
who differed with him and therefore we
do not believe that when talking in his
interview he used any such terms as
" Old Hamlin," in speaking of the Sc
nior Senator from Maine. Senator Bay
ard may have strong political bias, but
We are mistaken in the man if he allow
ed his feelings to get SO much the bet
ter Of his nature, as to cause him to be
impolite or disrespectful especially to
his peer in the Senate. There are 60
many indications of extreme coloring
to the reported interview that we are
inclined to the belief that the article
is very unfair presentation of his
views.

would lose no time in giving it the clos

The above is what Senator Bavard
is said to have told reporter of the New
York "Star." If this is true Senator
Bayard has certainly not heard of the
frauds committed at last September
election in this city when the Demo.
cratic party alone are known to have
carried the city by some 600 to 700 il
legal votes, large numbers of which
were cast by reporters, some of them
voting ten and twelve times. One of
them has been convicted on two indic.-
ments and true bills have been found
against large number more. II the
Senator wants to investigate, here is a
grand opportunity.

DISTINGUISHED people however who
have not been subjected to the infu.
ences which prevail at New Orleans
will at once perceive that what has been
proposed is nothing more or less than
a cooperation with WIGS. II the State
is to turn thrifty penny by licensing
gambling "hells," there is no reason
why it should not indefinitely extend
this novel way of making money in
other directions. 1t might enter into
compact with the noble army of
thieves and burglars, and levy assess
ments upon the practice and pursuit of
a variety of other vices needless to be
named, in. which profit is combined with
pleasure. Whether gambling is or is
not vice which properly comes within
the repressed Jurisdiction of the public
authorities is perhaps a dsbatable ques-
ton, but in one sense the evil ought to
be suppressed, and in another sense
there is certainly no good excuse for
interference.

purpose Of expressing sympathy with

ling seems to have been abandoned IN

New Orleans Gambling,

New Orleans is about giving up to the
sW ay of her gamblers, a Grand Jury
taking it for granted that as there
always has been gambling there always
would be, and it plainly intimates that
there is no use making such fuss over
the thing anyhow. So this Grand Jury
advises that the imperative enactment
against gambling should be resoinded
and the city instead of trying to sup
press the evil shoald 60 into the bus
mess itself. In its own words it pro-
poses to legitimate the calling, and
since they cannot be suppressed to IL
oense these "hells" on earth, and to
compel them to contribute to the city
Treasury. We are glad to think that
there are not many cities in the United
States where such suggestion would
meet with favor. Nothing more how
ever could BE- expected of city where
a long course of legalized lotteries has
blunted and demoralized the public
conscience. The average citizen of New
Orleans will Look upon the legalizing of
gambling saloons as an excellent thing,
and seeing no particular harm in gam
bling, the scheme of the Grand Jury
will strike him as the neatest possible
between law and necessity,
