Boys Clothing.

Ageneration has brought
Iabout much greater change
in the clothing Of boys than
in the clothing of men.
When OAK HALL began Io
Years ago it was a puzzle
how to dress boys; and such
clothes as they got were
mostly made at home. The
same puzzle and practice
continue to this day inmany
parts Of the country.
A well-dressed boy used
tobe a rare sight. He's rare
enough yet; for boys cloth
ing is a new subject even to
most clothiers. For several
years, however, we have
made more and more boys
clothing; studied the cuts
and colors and trimmings,
all of which play so import
ant a partin boys clothing;
and have been perfecting|
our making, getting more i
strength, less stiffness. more
ease and grace.
This season we have bet
ter filled our ideal than ever
before; and a gentleman
who knows said yesterday:
1 never saw such clothes go
or SO little money"

THROWING OUT all the votes cast for
all manner Of Plaisteds for Governor
except the right one, harris M. Plaisted,
that gentleman would be in a minority
of nearly thousand. According to the
Garcelon method Of counting, all the
votes upon which the name Of Harris
NJ. Plaisted did not appear properly
written or spelled, must be thrown out,
when Governor Davis will be found 10
be re elected by a large majority. We
hope though that no advantage will be
taken of these little discrepancies and
mistakes in the spelling Of the names
on the tickets which were really In
tended for Mr.. Plaisted. The Republi-
cans cannot afford to go down inte the
dirt and mire and cheat and steal like
Garcelon and his crowd did, for the
sake Of getting Governor for only one
year.

Last NIGHT the citizens of Wilmirg-
ton had another evidence Of the sxalt-
cd character of the Fire DEPARTING mt.
NO body Of men could have deported
themselves in a more dignifed and
gentlemanly manner. The visiting

Of the sturdy and honest yeomanry Of
Pennsylvania, every one es them gen.
tlemen. Never before have We been
treated to more orderly parade of fire

Investigates needed.

We hope Mayor Almond will inves
tigate that case wherein Q writ supposed
to be issued from his Office and to b.
served upon Mr.. Bedford's son, was, Il
10 said, BY mistake served upon Mr.
Bedford himself BY his Sergeant o.
Police, Mr.. Whelan. We do not thinh
that the case against c. Il. D. Bedford,
Jr., could have been very aggravated
case, from the fact that there is NO
publicity Of It in the police hearings OF
otherwise, bat II seems to have been
sufficient to have called C. Il. D. Bed.
ford, sr., away from his desk for q
couple Of hours while crowd Of men
we're waiting to pay him their taxes.
We only suppose that the Junior Bed
ford had the initial prsfxss Of c. Il. D.
to his name like his father, or else how
could Sergeant Whelan have made the
mistake and serve II upon the father
instead Of the SOM In all sincerity we
call upon Mayor Almond to investigate
this case and see whether any writ was
issued from his Office by his authority
for service upon either Of the Bediords,
Gather or son. We might as well
speak plainly and tell Mayor Almond,
who we are confident would give it no
countenance, that there Is very strong
suspicion in the mind Of the public that
the whole affair was clever)y ccuceiv.
ed trick. planned and executed for the
purpose Of battling Republicans who
wanted to pay their taxes and prepare
themselves to vote at the Little Election
as we'll as the greater election in No
vember. 1t may be possible that there
were real grounds for the issuing OF the
writ. 1t may be possible that the case
was one Of vast importance, which re.
quired extreme haste and vigor on the
part Of Sergeant Whelan to serve II
Immediately, just while q crowd was
waiting on important business. But
admitting sll these possibilities it is
ust little strange that the nature cf
he case is not known except by very
ew, who are very close mouthed about
t. At any rate it will do no harm for
dayor Almond to let in some light, as
ne Of his principal policemen is con-
erned, and because 1t may result in
epriving q number Of citizens from
otirg. Let us have light.

The Tariff and British Gold.

II any thing more than another
should arouse the American working.
man and mechanic, to a keen sense Of
the destructive policy Of free trade, it is
the fact that the free traders of Erg-
land are sending TO this country tracts
to be circulated amongst the people, ad-
vocating free trade. A free trade pam.
phlet, published in London, is being,
circulated in this country TO influence
If possible the people to vote in favor
Of free trade by voting for the Dsmo.
cratic party which is committed to a
tariff for revenue only. 1t is full of
sophistry, and base fabricstiors are
made to appear plausible. 1t tries to
persuade the American people that
Free Trade is better for them than pro-
lection. 1t has come to a pretty pass
indeed when the Democratic party 10 |
Influenced and moved to advocate free
trade by the lords and aristocracy Of
England, but If American workmen
and mechanics are shrswd they will
not allow dust 10 be thrown into their |
eyes. II they would correctly inform
themselves they will find that 1t is
English money that is being covertly
used to secure the success Of the Demo-
cratic ticket, and thereby secure a re.
peal Of the strongest tariff laws. Will
the workingmen and mechanics Of
Wilmington, submit to such an INSULT
Will they vote with the party that is
influenced by the nabobs and landed
aristocrats OF England! 1t is an outrage
that every good citizen should spurn.
We want no British gold to influence
The free choice of the American people.
Every true American citizen whether
native or adopted should rebuke such
nsolence at the polls next November.

howeye T. at We a'e ) have the disa
greeable task OF criticising one OF thu
collectors, Mr.. Bedford, for not being al
accommodating as he should be. Mr.,
Bedford IL collector Of the Southern
collection district which owing to the
shameful manner in which the assess
ments have been made has been kept fol
. good many years past Democratic
Last winter AMI spring several hun,
dred persons, white as we'll as black
almost through superhuman exsrtionf
had their names laced upon the as
sessment, in some Of the wards enough
to turn the p ,litical balance in favor Of
Che Republicans. The assessment
however seems to have been one thing
and the paying Of the taxes afterwards
quite another thing. There should bs
no trouble in this whatever. When a
man comes forward to pay his taxes,
whether he is white or black, it is the
duty Of the collector to accspt 1t and
give him receipt II he is assessed Mr..
Bedford will gain nothing for his party
by the course he is pursuing. There
are honest Democrats who will never
sanction any unfair means by which
voters cannot get an opportunity Of
paying their taxes. These little tricks
like having a writ served upon him by
q policeman while number of colored
men are standing by waiting for their
turn to pay the taxes which he alone
can receive, ara we'll understood. Yes.
terdsy it seems the writ that was served
npon him was not for him at all.
Sergeant Whelan only made q mis-
take and served it upon Mr.. Bedford
yaen it was his son that was intended
of course the Sergeant only made a
Ristake unintentionally and it took
an hour or two to find out that it was
a mistake before Mr.. Bedford could get
back to his desk again. In the mean
time several Of those who had come TO
pay their taxes had left and perhaps will |
not return again.
We can tell Mr.. Bedford that these
movements, sLch as having writs
served upon him, lengthening the hours
when away from his office, not appear
ing in his Office in the evening when he
Is more particularly needed upon the
eve OF an election, and exhibiting a
general disposition to thwart men in
paying their honest taxes will recoil
upon more than his head. He can
stand 1t If his party can. There ia
honesty and integrity enough in the
Democratic party yet to defeat any such
chieanery, and We very much mistake
the temper of honest people if they
will not condemn Mr.. Bedford's actions
by voting against the party that put
him in Office. The people are in no
mood to be trifed with, either by Mr..
Bedford or intermeddlipg policemen.
That might as we'll be understood now

Mustangs in Texas Thirty Years


The word mustang Is corruption OF mesteno,

ago there were thousands, no doubt millions. of
those animals in Texas. In 1s49, and for several
years thereafter, they were numerous in the re-

Grande. They were found further north, but
rot in such numbers. Immense herds of wild
horses could be seen grazing on the prairies.
When they saw any one approaching the leader
would often move TO the front and make a re-
conneiSsance. II things did not suit him, he
would give his head a peculiar toss, wheel and
sound the note OF alarm. These demonstrations
would be followed by prompt movement on the
part OF the herd, sometimes to the front, but
more usually to the rear. They would wheel
into line, change front, move in line or in col
