WILMINGTON WAS SHOCKED an,

WILMINGTON WAS SHOCKED and
disgraced this morning by the unpro-
voked murder of one of its working
men by another. The circumstances
of this horrible and revolving act will
be found infinitely stated in our local
columns. 1t was the result of carry
ing arms where arms were not neces-
sary. 1t will be remembered that tho
GAZETTE some two years ago took ex-
ception to the use of arms by the
police. We then feared some such re-
suit an has just occurred. 1t does not
make particle of difference that the
man was black. His life was no less
dear TO him /; nor had his slayer any
more right to take it than to take the
life Of any man. Nor is it probable
that any mans life would have been
safe from the destroyer of this under
like circumstances, and therefore the
atonement to the offended laws must
follow. The guilty and wretched man
who kills his fellow man must now
himself see how wrong it was to have
about his person SO deadly weapon
when he had no greater necessity fol-
arms than any other citizen.

REBuILD IT IN WIIlfINaToN.--The
destruction Of the immense grain ele-
vator Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company in Philadelphia, yesterday,
and the circumstances attendant upon
it, should convince that road Of the
prspriety of rebuilding 1t In Whining
ton. Our Fire Department is the best
In the United States. The ground and
building would be exempt from taxa
ton for ten years and it would be a
whole days sail nearer foreign ports.
It is said that the elevator, warehouses
and contents destroyed causes loss of
500, 900, which was insured only to
the amount of 1881, 600.

THE PUBLIC BONDS.
Mr.. Windows Policy Likely I
Prove q Success.

Mr.. windows Policy Likely 60
Prove Success.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
A few holders of the 9 per cents,
who fail to hear of the advantage
which the market offers them, NAV
neglect to forward their requests for
Continuance in season. Of course,
any holder who does not wish to obtain
the III per cents, If he understands the
matter, will take care to sell his Q per
cents before May 10. After that date,
as purchasers cannot have their bonds
extended, nor get the interest prepaid,
the price will naturally fall again to
again to about 1921, and the holder
can only get 1903 for his bond and in
terest in full by waiting until July.
Hence there will be steady bidding
for the 6 per cents up to the 10th of
May, and the price might perhaps adj
vance still further but for the proba-
bility that about $500, 600, 600 more of
the extended 81 per cents can be OBJ
tanned by holders of the per cents.
AS 1t is probable that the Treasury
will be requested to extend nearly ali
| the 8 per cents, the Secretary will still
l have at command after Nav 10, for the
possible redemption Of per cents. ,uear-
~ the whole surplus revenues for the
year, aRd the sum for which $104 ,0OO, 900
If the per cents. can be sold. Tbe
surplus revenues, 1t Is estimated, will
amount to $70,0O0,0O0 or $50, 600, 900.
and it is not unlikely that $50 1000, 600
will remain for application to the 5 per
cents.
The sales of per cents, If deemed ad
visable, would yield about sis, 600, 900.
The Secretary can, therefore, call $780,
100000 or $200,000,000 of the s per
cents, with certainty that the money
would be ready to meet them, even if
lone should be continued. But the re-
suit ofthe experiment with the 6 per
cents, and assurances which Secretary
Windem has doubtless received from
holders OF large number of bonds not
yet called, may perhaps induce him to
call at once larger amount. In apy
case, there Is little reason to doube thai

WY DoN'T WILMINGTON B

Why DON'T WILMINGTON BUILD
LOCOMOTIVES P-This is one of the
specialties of the iron and steel worker.
1t has become o trade of itself and
likely to continue 80. The demand
has been in excess of the supply fortep
years upon stretch, even during the
hard times before and after the crisis
Of 1873 the Baldwin works were kept
busy; and now the demand for lococ
motives from the West Indies, Brazil
and other South American countries
and Mexico, is likely to be greater than
ever and result in the business besom-
ing one Of our greatest and most re-
liable manufacturing industries. Viii
mington ought to be centre for this
wo.k. 1t would add to our credit
If where q steamer Is completed
and sent to her destination in some
foreign port on her deck she also ear

Of cars and what could be more ap
propriate than when a train of new
passenger cars we're sent from our
city, they should be drawn by a new
locomotive made in Wilmington 1t is
just announced that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company intends to build
eleven monster locomotives in it,
shops at Altoona this summer, each
Of which will have immense driving
wheels and be able to run mile every
81 seconds up grade with long train
attached. How pleasant it would b,
to learn that the same great corpora
ton were about to turn out eight OF
ten locomotives to be operated on the
lines which it now owns in Delaware
from its ships In this city.

TEAT LITTLE steal Of twelve thousand
acres of choice public lands In New
Mexico, which has come to light at q
very inopportune time for the suddenly
afflicted Mr.. Dorsey, is NO doubt only
one of many frauds Of the same charac-
ter which have been perpetrated within
the past few years. The recent expo
sures in Kansas showed what 1t is DOS
sible for INSCRIPTIONS men to accom-
plish, especially when their victims are
unsophisticated ana supplemented Inn
migrants from foreign lands, ignorant
alike Of our laws and Of the seductive
ways of the typical American "sharp-
er." The exposure at Santa Fe Ii pecu-
llarly unfortunate for Dorsey, but 1t Is
happily opportune for the Government.
In the full tide of his recent public nat
terry Dorsey was mighty power In the
Republican party, and might, perhaps,
have successfully thwarted the most
vigorous efforts of the fearless "iust
judge" whose removal he will now
seek In vain and whom TO assault he
will surely strengthen, at Washington
and. before the country Further, the
light which the tripped-up Spectator In
public property has precipitated will
probably result In an Investigation OF
this whole business. Such an Inquiry
would no doubt reveal facts more start
ling than the "star Route" iniquities.

Safe Clothing.

There is probably no cloth
ing-maker anywhere in the
world that is entitled to be
relied on so completely for
the quality of everything that
enters into clothing as Oak
Hall. 1t would be in bad
taste, at least, for us to say
this, if we hadn't a particular
ly clear demonstration of the
fact.
In the first place we make
clothing enough SO that we
can afford to watch what
goes into ito know what
it is made of. Is it too much
to say that we do know
In the second place every
thing we sell is liable to come
back to us, if found wanting
in any quality it ought to
have-worse than that ; it is
liable to come back if the
buyer has the least doubt
about the goodness of it.
Which is hardest to be-
lieve, that we make our cloth
ing safe, or that we take such
chances on anything but the
safest of everything?

THE rush for Europe has begun In
earnest. The steamship companies
ought to pay the Police Commissioners
something for making the city 80 sick
ly that people cross Che ocean to GET
away from it.-N. z. Herald.
Any man who will take ride over
the elevated railroads of New York
win no fail to witness the utter un.
truthfulness Of the Herald. New
York ia to-day, we have not the least
doubt, one of the cleanest cities on the
American continent. In this respect
both Philadelphia and Baltimore art
far behind Gotham. OF course We
give the authorities no praise for this
for it is owing in great part to .th,
situation and topography of the re,
spective cities, which favors New
York. The idea that relief could b.
had by going to London or any Other
European city Is absurd. The suburb
of Paris aud London, or the neglected
streets and places are far more filth,
than New York. None but a partisan
biased against his county would dait
to compare the filthy waters of tn,
Thames with the comparatively pur,
waters of the North and East rivers
The proximity of New York to til,
Sound and the Ocean gives its atmoL
phere at all seasons freshness tina
few other cities are ever favored with
and hence New York has always bee
the residence of the most wealthy an
refined and accomplished class of th
American people. New York give
birth to nearly all the great philar
thropic enterprises, and does more 70
its poor than any other city. Althoug
1t numbers more European Dor
mothers than American born mother
In its population, it is emphatically al
American city In all it's aspects an,
represents more completely the Amer
lean off-hapd character than any othe
city In the great Republic.

AND now we are told that "Star
Route" Brady is endeavoring to
flank his prosecutors by representing
the President as having been the
willing beneficiary of campaign con-
tributions by the mail-route con-
tractors, and by threatening to let
out some ugly. campaign secrets If he
is forced to the wall. This is the US
ual tactics of persons of the Brady
sort, and it will be interesting to
note the result of the movement.

THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION,

The people of East Tennessee do
not seem to take the interest we
think they should, in having the
various resources of our section
fully represented at the Atlanta
exposition. The success of the ex>
position is now assured beyond
doubt. There will be very large
attendance from all parts of the
country. The people of the manu-
featuring centers of the North are
taking a deep interest in it, and
IL -~1>~ o-nn9- 1ienlav Of
machinery of various kinds, espe-
cially such as the South is interested
in. Already large space has been
engaged by exhibitors, and applica-
tons are coming in constantly. It
will doubtless be the most successful
enterprise of the kind ever attempt
ed in the Southern States, and can
but result benefcially to this sec.
ton.
It affords East Tennessee rare
opportunity for making a display Of
her on, coal, marble, zinc, &c. in a
way that is bound to attract attention
to our resources. We trust that
our people will not let such an op
portunity pass, especially when it is
right at our doors, and will cost but
trife. To do SO would show a
want of enterprise which would
argue badly for our ability to prop
erly appreciate the ample resources
that nature has placed in our keep
ing. No time should be lost in get
ting ready to make large display
of such articles as are above men,

ACCORDING to the Philadelphia
Times, a new sche me has been in
vented in the State of Georgia for
the purpose of raising funds for
benevolent purposes. The Times
says:
Some inventive mind in Georgia
turned it's attention to making money
for charitable purpose the other
day and hit upon the scheme of
selling kisses. An attractive assort-
ment of ladies of all ages and dimen-
sions were brought into the scheme,
and these consented to be kissed for
charitable purposes at SO much per
kiss. 4 schedule of prices was arr
ranged in this way: Girls under Is,
rs cents; from Is to 20, so cents !;
ladies from 20 to rs, Is cents mar
ried ladies under 80, 81; married
ladies from 80 to 40, so cents; wild
ows under 80, rs cents; maiden
ladies from 80 to ~. so cents; maid.
en- ladies over 40, two for S
cents. The kissing was done in the
presence of a committee. one OF
whose members held watch and
counted. A large business was done,
chiefly in the higher grade of k sses
but the town Is now torn up with
divorce cases and broken engage
ments and all that sort of thing
Tue opinion is general that it costs
more than it's worth to raise money
in this way.
