CoNKIINa AIMs TO EMBAkRAss
GARFIELD's ADMINisTRATIoN.-The
New York Tribune to-day says Conk-
ling and Platt cannot be reelected.
1t goes SO far as to ask s'to which par
ty does Mr.. Conkhng belong" at the
head of an editorial an extract of which
reads as follows:
sIt seems that Mr.. Conklipg has de-
termined to fight for a reelection to
the seat which he deserted. A re-
election, by Legislature chosen as
being devoted to his will, could do him
no good. He needs, and he evidently
seeks, something else. By Republican
votes, Mr.. Conkling knows that he
cannot be elected. He hopes to be
elected by Democratic votes, SO that
he may return to Washington free
from all Obligations to the Republican
party. Hence it appears that the edi-
tor of leading Democratic journal
was one of the persons closeted with
him on Sunday that one of the prin-
cipaJ managers of Democratic faction
in this city followed, and spent an hour
in private conference and that q
rumor finds currency at Washington
that Mr.. Conkling is looking for aid to
the followers Of Mr.. Tilden.
"For several days it has been certain
that Mr.. Conkling could be re-elec. ed,
if at all, only by the votes Of Demo-
Gratis. The absence of twenty-seven
Republican members from Republic
can caucus will make it plain that the
nominee of that caucus cannot be
elected, unless by Democratic aid.
More than forty Republicans pledged
themselves, some days ago, not to take
part in or be bound by any such eau
Gus. In the Legislature Mr.. Conkling
will need 81 votes, and over so of the
108 Republicans have pledged them
selves not to vote for his reelection.
He hopes for votes from different
quarter"
, This conspiracy will fail. The Re-
publicans Of New York who have fol
lowed Mr.. Conkling have admired
him as Republican, but they have
no notion of following him as q
Democrat.

IT has been mentioned more than

A WRoNG IMPREssIoN.-T There
seems to have been given out an im-
preston that what is termed the marsh
road is private property and that it
would cost the city large sum to ex-
tend Seventh street past the jackson
d Sharp Company's works to the
Brandywine. Such is not the case.
The Marsh Company had a gate
placed across the road and pay man
TO attend it. But the road is subject
TO the same laws by which other pro
perty Is condemned for streets. Th,
road has never been vacated, and tn,
street may be extended at any time.

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?

A STRIKE ON THE STAGE.
How n Dramatic Company struck
for Wages In Wilmington.

The New York Dramatic Netcs, of
last week, contains statement from Miss
Wood, a member OF john h. Owens
comedy company, which appeared ia
Wilmington several weeks ago, detailing
the trouble she and her associates exper.
fenced in gettiug their salaries for this
engagement. The appearance of the
troupe in Wilmington was siguallzed by
a strike for wages, which Miss Wood de-
| scrlbed as follows:
Our last TWO stands were Trenton aud
Wilmington. We had been told that we
were to finish the week in Newark and
Paterson, New Jersey, but we did not
| play III those places. Up to Trenton We
had not been paid for the previous week.
That was "Wednesday night. We re-
ceived no money that night, however,
and arranged with several of tho gen
tlemen 10 make strike for salaries the
following night in Wilmington. told
them lhat if they would strike l would
see them safely home to New York, II |
had to buy their tickets myself. So Oh
Thursday night none of Us appeared tc
go on the stage.
sAfier while MIR. Owens came out d
his roo IL half dressed and asked where
the people were. One of the gentlemen
spoke up and SAID they were not goin,
on until they were paid until they ha,
i Mr.. Owens personal assurance that the
. shoald be paid. Another refused TO e
on even upon the latter consideration
and SAID he must have his salary befoi

a little snip named Kelly, came aroun
TO see what the trouble was. We hs

TIE ONE MAN PowER.--It seems
he Board of Education last night

hE ONE mAN Wv hh'-Ae eooA's
the Board of Education last night
gave an exhibition Of its disgust for
the one-man power, by upsetting the
arrangement Of the committees by the
President, and reconstructing them in
open meeting. This is only an exer-
cine Of the rights of the members, and
Young America kicking up its
heels in the face of old fogy maxims
that reduce things, by the aid of cheek
to the control Of cunning political trick
sters, who have the assurance to ex-
ercise such assumptions. The chair
man was elected by a large majority
of Democrats in the Board, and ac-
cording to David Davis ideas, as given
out as an Independent, he should have
conferred with the Democratic menu
bers and ascertained their wishes in
some measure, and permitted that party
to keep the control of the work of the
Board. But on the contrary the COM
mittees were constructed upon the old
arbitrary political bias, and Demo-
crais distributed about in minor po-
sitions as 80 many old shoes.
This did not suit some of the Demo-
cratic gentlemen who felt that they
were at least equal to their fellows,
and as they did not chose to play second
fiddle to the choice of the President
they showed him trick last night
that he had not calculated upon. 1t is
quite characteristic for the Neaus tc
sustain the Chairman with its en-.
couraging comments, since its editor
and the President may be supposed te
be one and the same person. We dc
not care to draw comparisons-had
politics been left out of the question,
the committees as formed in the first
place could very well have been left to
stand. Now, the reference to Mr..
Kenny and others of the Board by the
,Nesos, vas altogether unnecessary.
Mr.. Kenny knows his rights, and
although one of the most unassumine
+ mon in the Board, is in no wise in.
.ferior In education and parliamentar!
4 usages. and fully able to take care o
bhimself. We are quite confident tina
Mr.. Kenny will do no injustice to an.
one on the contrary, We are sur
! that he will discharge the duties tha
the Board has imposed upon him will
