prshensible things that often turns up

whether the road shall be built or not,

Of wholesome compstition ss in every

The bad condition Of sidewalks on

The other Side.

MEssRs EDlToRs You published,
on the second instant, an editorial ca
titled "I'he Railroad War" Thsre
occurred in it the following: "Rail.
roadiSg should be as free 10 competitors
as other enterprises. As we'll might
one manufacturing firm and no other
be clothed with the privilege of build
ing all the iron steamships that ere
built In Wilmington one mandatory
to manufacture all the morocco or ali
the carriages, as for one line OF rail-
road and no other be given the privi-
lege of doing all the carrying trade OF
the city"
Now, it seems to me that there is
also another view to be taken of the
matter. II the new railroad is bnilt it
will undoubtedly bs controlled by the
Baltimore & Ohio. Wilmington would
be q way station requiring a email pas
senger depot and a good sized freight
depot. But farther than this NO i'm
provsments would DO necessary. No
car or engine shops would be likely to
be built hsCe, and therefore the num-
Der OF Wilmingtonians employ ed would
be necessarily small. The new road
would undoubtedly receive considera
BILE amounts from Wilmington freight
and passengers, but would return little
money to this city. On the other hand
1t would considerably cripple the re-
sources of the p. W. & B. R. R., which
company has sll its shops in this city,
employing over 1000 WiImiBgtonians.
As the business Of the P. W. Il B. ia
creases or diminishes, as witness the
fact that about two years ago when
everything was very dull, not more
than half the number now employed
were working for the company. VIII.
mington receives full share Of the
prosperity of the P. W. & B. Would
1t also share in the prosperity Of the
new road II is not likely, for their
work would almost certainly be done
in the Baltimore & Ohio shops. There
fore would 1t be advisable to cripple
the r. W. & B. for the sake Of q for.
eign rival, who will probably add bat
little to the resources Of this city.
Yours respectfully, Az RxRIsrEE.

A Mnniaeent Endoument.

As has been stated, Mir. George I. Seney, of Brooklyn, has given Wesleyan University another $10O, GOO to endow free scholarships,
 besides the $1OO,o0o previously offered by him on condition that a like amount was con- tributed for the same object by other friends of that institution. Last Thursday he called on Dr. Buckley, editor of the Christian Ad- UOcate and announced his purpose, and after ward in council with President Beach, it was agreed that the income of this amount should
 be annually applied as follows:
 l. At tho end of the next freshman year fifteen competitive scholarships, from $1OO gradually ascending to $25O, will be awarded in the order of proficiency, according to con- ditions to be hereafter announced.
 2. At the end of each sophomore, junior and senior year seven competitive scholar ships of similar amounts will be awarded the whole beginning with the next class, so that after the fund is in full operation thirty six competitive scholarships, from $1OO to $25O, will be annually awarded to those who e1rn them to the end of time.
 good deal has been said and written in the secular and religious press within a few years about the degrading influence of free education upon ministers, and this has been charged with producing the decline in candi- dates for the ministry. MT. Seneys idea, therefore, was and $ to endow scholarships which shall be competed for by students, so that their manhood can be preserved while they accept pecuniary assistance in getting an education. The highest sum named is about enough to put man through annually in most of the colleges and universities of the land so that at least thirty-six young men, whether studying for the ministry or for any other learned profession, by successfully competing for these perpetual scholarships, can come out of Wesleyan free of debt.- H01tford POst.
