The Object of 1T.
The down State papers give the fol-
lowing as the reason for trip OF several
p. w. & B. and Delaware Railroad Of
ticials to Georgetown, ,one day last week:
The object of the visit was to satisfy a
mortgage of 500, 900 on the Del. r. r.,
executed in 1859 to Joseph Bringhurst,
s. M. FELTON,, ii. b. Fiddeman, as tras-
tees, TO secure the payment of that
amount of bonds issued for the construc-
tion of the Del. Il. X. from Seaford to
Delmar, and called the extension bonds,
with coupons attached, to run twenty
years. The bonds having matured Jan.
!, 1880, were prompsly taken up and
paid by the company. The mortgage
being recorded at GeorgetO wn it became
necessary to enter satisfaction upon the
record there, which was done, by Messrs.
8. M. FELTON, and II. B. Fiddeman, the
surviving trustees.

WiImingtonians In Florida.

Goldfish In the DeIdaUGre.
The u s. commission intend soon TO
begin the planting of. Goldfish In the
Delaware and adjacent rivers. This,
when accomplished, will add much TO
the value of the fishing grounds In these
localities. Nature has aided the Fish
Commission much In Its efforts by i'm
planting in the food of fishes an instinct
thai causes them TO return at the spa wn-
ing season to the place where they were
hatched. II Is q curious fact, too, thai
when eggs are thus placed in the tanks
on the commissions vessels a much lar
ger percentage of them hatch than do
of those deposited by the fish in the nat
ural way upon the river beds and the
bottom of the ocean.

For ONCE the police force ne
elected its duty since the present
Mayor has administrated the city
ordinances within his jurisdiction.
1t may have been that this neglect
was a design on the part Of the
police to accommodate Mr.. Levi c.
Bird, and to honor the coming to
our city of Mr.. Richard Harrington.
Their friends held political jubilee
in the Institute Hall last night, and
while the clubs were listening to the
"Moses" of the State of Delaware
blacks inside the Hall, the "bucks"
and "wenches" occupied the pave
ment outside and enjoyed them
selves in regular fandango style to
the disgust of all decent Republicans
and amusement of the Democrats
who were compelled to pass in front
of the Institute. Where were the
police? The ordinance against oc-
cupying sidewalks was never more
improperly violated; and yet the
police turned their backs upon the
scene. Did the thoughtful Levi
make request of the officers to per-
nit the colored "jades" to show
such disregard of decency as an
acknowledgement of the jubilee year
in which their Moses was allowed to
return to help them possess the land
of Delaware? Perhaps so. We
shall wait and see. Now, it was
stated in the Republican that the
gallery Of the Institute had been set
aside to "be occupied by the ladies, :"
and yet they were for some reason
left out upon the pavement to in
convenience all pedestrians aud in
terrupt the business of every store
in the vicinity. This is not right
The Delaware Moses should not so
have neglected the "dusky maidens"
as not to have seen them com
fortably seated where they could
listen to his persuasive voice and
admire his manly form decorativelv
arrayed in all the loveliness Of art
for the occasion.

tilities and securing peace is the skill of
the statesmen shown In securing the
arts of trade and commerce and elevat-
ing the peaceful pursuits of life. 1t is
great mistake to look upon commerce
as only advancing the interests of tie
merchant and the ship owner. Too
frequently this is all that many intelli-
gent men see in it. But in fact these
are only the agents for the transmission
of materials after they are produced.
Cheap living and cheap cars all go into
the. calculation for cheap freights; and
In addition, high duties are sometimes
entirely exclusive and renders trade and
commerce impossible.
The idea that some people entertain
that nation only makes money when
It's expor.s exceed its imports is entirely
false. The greater our exports are over
our imports the greater is the excess of
profits. But one has only to look back
for q century and remember that in only
few years in all that time the exports
from the United States have exceeded
our imports, and that excess has only been
ten or twenty millions until the two last
years, yet in the hundred years with
the "balance of trade" against us, the
United States has outstripped any
other nation In the world in its growth
and wealth, as we'll as in the education
of It's people and in population. A
revenue tariff may serve to secure the
trade Of the world for our hundreds of
millions of produce after the nations
recover from the most serious loss of
their crops.
1t remains to be seen whether the
nations that supplied the food to Eu-
rope previous to last year will be able
to 90 in and undersell our agricultur-
lists and stop the transfer Of the many
millions of our grain and other pro-
duce to the seaboard and to Europe
If they do it will of course tend to the
disadvantage of all the laborers engag-
ed upon the various ramifications of
the great trade.

A COMPANY TO RECLAIM BRANDY

A COMPANY TO RECLAIM BRANDY
WINE MARsH.-WILL 1T BE DONE
There are rumors current among bust
ness men in Philadelphia that COM
pany is being formed in Wilmington
for the purpose Of buying at low fig
ure the Brandywine marsh east of the
city to the Delaware river, and filling
it up with earth from the neighboring
hills to make it fast land for building
purposes. We do not know how these
rumors got into circulation; nor do we
know whether they are true or not
But the thing is so feasible that it has
long been wonder that the marsh
has not long ago been filled up by cap
italists and offered for sale in building
lots, as a matter of speculation.
1t is all within the limits of the
city, and could be bought for abou
$50 an acre or less. 1t is of little val.
ue to the owners, scarcely paying the
taxes assessed upon 1t, and not netting
two per cent. over annual interest. il
the owners and company of foreign
capitalists would lay hold of il, and
fill up the streets as they run to the
Delaware and two or three cross
streets, the whole marsh could be very
readily made fit for building purposes
and Wilmington would advance al
once to the Delaware,Eand become q
great commercial port. Any of oul
builders who have been filling up tn,
low places know what it costs pei
square yard to fll up. This marsl
would require to be raised about 81,
to eight feet, or perhaps the averag,
might be placed at four feet. Thos,

The facts in regard 10 Mr. Garfield, al

agreed with Mr.. Ames to take ten shares
of Credit MObilIer stock, but did not pay
or the same. Mr.. Ames received the
eighty per cent, dividend in bonds anu

also received the sixty per cent. cash divi-

and Mr.. Garfield then undeTstood u,ts

From the NeiO FORK Times, Feb ~, 1873.
Messrs. Kelley and Garfield present n
most distressing figure. Their partici-
patton in The Credit MObilier affair is com
piicated by the most unfortunate contra
dictlons OF testimony.
From he New York Times. FEB. %, 1913.
The character OF the Credit Mobiller was
no secret.The source Of Its profits was very
well known at the time Congressman
bought it. Though Oakes Ames may have
succeeded IN concealing his own motive,
which was TO bribe congressman, theii
,,s
account innocent, The dlshonor OF the
act, as participation in an obvious fraud
still remains.
Some Of them have INDUCED in testi-
mony With reference To the matter which
has been contradicted. The committet
distinctly rejects The testimony Of SeUerui o.
| the members. THIS can OIlty be dome on N,
| ground that is untrue. But untrue test.
| many gtUen under oath Is mOrdtiy, II no

1t is the clear duty of Congress TO visi
with punishment all who took Credi
Mobilier stock from Oakes Ames.
From The Ne,O York Tribune, Feb. 10, Isl;
| James A. Garfield of Ohio had ter
shares; never paid dollar: received $329

was anxious to have considered as a loan

THE rise in railroad stocks is some
thing wonderful. This increase is
all occasioned by the more wonderful
development of the great regions Of
fruit and grain growing regions
through which the roads pass accele-
rated by the demand made upon our
agriculturlsts for the fruits of their
labors in foreign lands. But while this
is the case with the great majority of
the roads, there are some whose stocks
are put up and down, at the pleasure
Of the "bulls" and "bears," and ar
mere fancles. IL would seem that all
such stocks now are as high as they eau
be maintained even if the present de-
mand for the transmission of products to
the seaboard should continue. How
much lower they could afford to per-
form this service and yet make a profit
Is question that comes in here. For the
lower the freight on car and ship the
lower will be the price abroad and the
more certain will the american agricul-
turists be able to compete for the
supply of Europe with other nations.
We have been successful in the las,
year, and have not only been able to
pay for all the goods we bought with our
products. but have sold in addition over
hundred million dollars worth of grain
and cotton and other products, for
which we received gold and silver.
Should the demand keep up we ought to
be able to make larger exchanges of our
products. For the ship owner is more
interested in returning with a cargo
than he is in carrying only the cash fol
what he brings and returning empty
There are so many things that enter into
commerce that it is not easily to con
template them all in newspaper article
but the reader will readily see tina
everything that tends to raise the prlc,
of freight, tends to exclude our farmer
and fruiters and cotton and tobacc,
anu lllCll olA VI otfbu DuHuTel
millions worth of products, from the mar
kets of the world. The fruits of the labor
ers of the vast fields require to be car
ried to the seaboard, handled by mil.
lions of men and shipped to all the port
of the world. This cannot be don
without the means to make the convey
anee. Whether this vast trade shal
continue or not, after the crops of Rus
gia and other parts of the Old Worl
cease to fail, is a question OF serio u
magnitude. For it is not the produce
Of our grain and cotton and butter, AM
cheese and pork, and tobacco and beer
and canned fruits alone that is +
suffer. Hundreds of thousands c
artisans are daily employed in maxim
