hold for the protection it affords in sud-
den attacks. In Whooping-cough and
Consumption there is no other remedy
SO ef1icacious, soothing, and helpful.
Low prices are inducements to try
some of the many mixtures or syrups,
made of cheap and ineffective ingredi-
ents. now offered, which, as they con-
tain no curative qualities, can afford
only temporary relief, and are sure to
dlSappoint the patient. Diseases of the
throat and lungs demand active and
effective treatment; and it is dangerous
experimenting with unknown and cheap
medicines, from the great liability that
these diseases may, while SO trif1ed with,
become deeply seated or incurable. Use
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL, and you
may confidently expect the best results.
1t is of acknowledged curative power,
and IS as cheap as its careful preparation
and fine ingredients will allow. Emil
nent physicians, knowing its compost
ton, prescribe it. The test of half
century has proven it's certainty to cure
all pulmonary complaints not already
beyond the reach of human aid.

We ARE NOT opposed to the collection
Of health statistics, but on the contrary
are in favor of it. What we oppose IL
the creation Of a new Office and for q
new 0tiioer at the present time, when
the city is already laboring under q
heavy floating debt. A registry Of
deaths and births can be correctly kept
by the City Clerk without much ad6i.
tional expense to the city, and We
understand this is the object Of those
moving in the matter. While this may
be the object, now 1t did not take that
course when the subjec! was first agi-
tated. The intention then was TO create
q separate and distinct office, to be filed
Of course by somebody who was to be
rewarded for some partisan service.
This is what We opposed. We are as
much in favor OF preserving the health
of the city as any body, but we do not
want this subject to be made a pretext,
only to make place at a good salary
for somebody to fill as a reward for par
tisan political service.

General Advance I'm Prices,

| NchSEhA
For several months past there hal
Leen evidences of a general advance il
the prices OF real estate within the city
and consequent rise in rents, particu
larly for small houses and stores or
Market street. This good feeling has
evidently increased, and ia now beiug
shown by numerous inquiries from cap.
italists for suitable properties for in.
vestments and the sale and transfer Of
valuable property.
While there seems to be a growing
feeling ofmapy capitalists in the city TO
purchase real estate for the purpose of
Investments, Il ls really matter of
great surprise that they are 20 few.
Many persons have an idea that ifthey
buy a piece Of real estate it must pay
from 7 to per csnt. net in order to
make an attractive Investment, and yet
there are numbers OF business proper
ties offered tor sale by our real estate
agents at figures that will pay per
cent. net and sufi ;ient sum for re.
pairs, beyond all probability Of re-
qlirement.
There is mcrs confidence in the com
munity in real estate than there has
bssn for plumber Of years past.
II Ia always the case when the wheels
Of industry become busy;people become
more careful, andl in the beginning
of such growing movement inquiry
becomes general in regard to real est tate
while real estate for several years past
has been producing but a comparative.
small income, Investments in loans from
. plethoric state Of thelmsrket are con-
tinually made at lower rates than has
bssn known for many years pssh aud
as natural sequence when the rate of
Investments spproximates to
realized income from real estate, money
must naturally f>w into the purchase
OF that tl,ss Of property as the safest
and more steady Of sll the sources in
which to place money on income. We
may look with much hope to the com
ing spring for a lively state Of affairs
and for increased ACTIVITY In the real
eststs business. A statement CIV

Inquirer q few days sgo reports that
In Philadelphia, rents we're on the ad

As an abstract question, an educA-
tionsI test for voting Is right, but such
. movement should be iinsugurated
with sincere and honest purpose, and
we do not believe that purpose exists
in Florida. all the education that
could be erammed into the knoWledge-
boxes Of the dishonest men who CON-
init these election frauds in Florida and
other Southern States cannot make bet
ter citizens Of them SO long as they are
dishonest. These fellows are amongst
, the most intelligent men Of their SEQ
tion. They can read and write snt
count up bogus election returns, fort
names and, in fact, more than comply
with every requirement of the eduea
tional test, but that does not max
them honest or any more disposed II
hold fair elections. 1t is the psniten'
tiary they need rather than the school
house. We should be glad to know
that a great educational wave had
flooded Florida and that all her people
we're to be made intelligent citizens
that school houses were hereafter to b.
the rule and not the exception, but un'
til Florida briggs forth better fruit
meet tor repentance thanl. she ha:
brought forth during the last Ave Oh
six years, we shall bs.inclined tosiooA
upon her educational test for voters a.
oaly another machine to be used in the
disfranchisemen Of voters instead o.
the education OF them. We do moi
wish to be understood as opposing an
educational test for voters--in fact we
are in favor Of ii II honestly put into
operation, but we are not in favor OF
the Florida sham.

not had education enough to enable

Of that kind, vs. should have had moro
faith in it, but as it was passed by a
Legislature OF State that was only in
power by fraud and violence, we have
no respect for it whatever, and the test
is q mere sham-a pretsxt for disfrsn-
shising Republican voters, that the
B0urbeus may be kept in power in q
State where the Republican voters are
numerically the strongest. While there
is no disposition to hold fair elections
BY the Bourbon Democrats. An edu.
sational test, no matter how rigid,
will make the matter no better. In the
hands OF 50 ch men who can read AID
write, and who hold the elections in
Florida, such a test would be the
bro oadest kind OF a farce. Democrats
would be permitted to vote, no matter
how ignorant, and Republicans would
be prevented, no matter how intelli-
gent. It is common honesty that the
white Democrats Of Florida need, more

,aa . n ew Court House.

The rsFs Court House has been ac-
oeptsd by the Levy Court COMMITTEES
& from the hands OF the contractor and
builder, Mr., Given, andit is now tie
full property Of the County. Mr.. Given,
though he has ovsrruu the time by
some few weeks when he was TO have
finished it, has done his duty faith
fully as a contractor, and has left as .
record OF his ingenuity q building not
sxcellsd in beauty by any other build.
ing Of the same kind and build for the
same purpose within one hundred
miles radius OF the city Of Wilmington.
There are massive structures OF marble
in the large cities, but we doubt II
there is one that strikes the eye as be.
ing as handsome and becoming the H.
ness Of things than our Wilmington
Court House: There are perhaps pisn-
~ Of contractors and builders who
would have b1iIt as handsome a build.
ing, but as Mr.. Given ia the man who
was the lowest bidder and the man
who built 1t, to him belongs the credit,
besides what is duo the architect for
drawing the designs. 1t is matter
ofregret nov that Mr. Given has done
his work SO we'll that he should COM
ont behind sone SIC, 900 in contract
of &68, 900. None but those who know
the contract price would question for Il
moment, that the building cost $780,
900. The building is really worth
mach more than what II cost tie Coun-
ty, and the question is should Mr..
Given lose the 10000 he is behind in
the contract 7 There are many who
say a contract is q contract, aud that
II Mr.. Given had made sl0, 600, no per
son would have expected him to refund
it TO the County, therefore he should
be allowed to be at the loss.
This is true in certain sense but 1t
seems to us like begging the question,
The real fair equitable side Of the qae'-
tion would seem to indicate that as Mr..
GIVEN has done his work SO well l.
slighting nothing, and has given New
Castle County a Court House Of which
every citizsn should be proud, and
will be proud when they sea it, he
should be rsiub for his loss. The
county is richer than Mr.. Given is and
while It is we'll enough TO guard and
protect the county against useless ex
traVaganos and loss upon all occasions,
1t does ns6look altogether right for
large, rich. populous county like New
Castle to accept and enjoy beautiful 4,
