Robert Bonner is confident that his
famous trotters, Rarus and Edwin For

M. Bonner said: "If can get Rarus
and Edwin Forrest into u satisfactory

in August. have not arranged the de-
tails, but either the Prospect or Hart
ford track viii probably be selected, rs

thinkS We can 90 in = 0S. Both horses
have trotted in l.ilig on three-dllar-
ter rack, which is considrred by sport
ing men better than 2.loi9 on mile
track. You know on Il three.qnartcr
track you go around II circle OF forty
two acres. H. is easy 70 understand
that in the former case the turns are
more abrupt than in the latter. No
half track can be AZ fast as a three
quarter track, nor any three-quarter
track as fast us a mile track. Recently
drove Edwin Forrest to top wagon,
356 pounds, in 30 ,, and at present he
is in better condition than any other
horse I've got. have no doubt that
both horses can beat their best record.

Up To THE PRESENT time this year
800 building permits have been issued
which exceeds the number issued last
year up to the same time by 13-not a
very large number, but enough to let us
know that our city has felt the Impulse
Of good times and is bounding ahead
rapidly i'll Improvements and po9ula-
zion. Some of these permits are for
other SulldingE besides dwelling houses
mt 1t Is entirely safe to say that ,i2j of
them are for dwelling houses. As there
are generally about five persons on an
average to every dwelling house this
would Increase the population of the
city about 1925 in six months or $3.50 in
yeal II the same prupOrtionate increase
is kept up Should good times continue
until the end of the present decade and
buildings Increase in the same ratio
We may reasonably look for a population
OF $4,000 in 1890. Wilmington will
then be a city of no mean proportions,
and with proportionate increase of
manufacturing and commercial enter
prise, it will require some great convul-
sion Of business interests to check her
in her onward career.

1HE STATISTICS relating to the for
tign trade of the United States for the
fiscal year lust closed show that the ex-
ports have exceeded those of any pre-.
vious year, the aggregate collectively
being 81 ,544, ,912, ,G92-a mass of figures
which in attempting to grasp almost
makes the heal swim, The imports
have exceeded the exports, a
small amount and to that amount the
current of trade has beon against this
country. The imports were aever more
than balanced in any year except in the
fiscal year previous to the present. This
balance sheet should be carefully scan.

died millions of money have been i'll

pected a with both houses of the Lee
ihlature and majority of the people Of
the State against him, there was moth.
ing left for him to do than to quarrel
with the Executive Council which is
also opposed to him. The Governor )
appointments in Maine are referred to
tho Governors Council for contirma-
titn, but the Council also being Of a
different turn in political feeling from
the Governor, they would not contiln
every political crank the Governor saw

small Farms.

1t is good sign to see the large farms
in the South falling to pieces, and be-
ing converted into number OF smaller
farms. We are glad to see such Il pro-
cess going on, especially in the States
where the old system of large farms
had taken deepest root. Large farms
are never the most prosperous farms
and when sold always bring less money
than when cut up into smaller farms.
In Delaware the evil effects of large
farms are plainly visible. In the upper
end of the State the farms are generally
of an average size, large one contain
ing about two hundred acres and a
small one from fifty to one hundred
acres. The smaller farms support a
larger population, raise more produce
and when put in the market bring, i'll
many instances, double the price per
acre of the large farms,
The hard working farmer who follows
the plough himself is gradually crowd
ing out the luxurious Que, who, in the an
ii bellum days, scarcely took the trouble
to direct the operations OF his laborers,
In Mississippi, for instance, the census
shows there were in 1866 only e., $40
plantations with an average number of
$40 acres. Ten years later there were
68,O23 farms, the average area of each
being 1913 acres. In 1880 the number of
farms was 77,205, averaging 1S5 acres
each. This brings down the number
of farms in that State to nearly the |
average of Delaware though there are
farms in either State that embrace an
area of one thousand and more acres.
AS an advantage of small farms, even
for cotton raising, the census of 1880
shows that while in Mississippi the
area of cultivated land is less than it
was in 1860 the production of cotton
is nearly twice as great. The Southern
people are waking up TO the fact that IA
little farm well titled is Of double the
value ofa large farm half titled. The
census Of 1890 will doubtless show n
still greater change in the domestic
of the South, as indicated hv
\ larger nuE: Der OF landowners and a
7ast increase i'll agricultural products

THERE ARE NONE who will not hear

THERE ARE NONE who will not hear
with regret of tie death OF Ex Governor
Salisbury. He was next eldest of four
brothers, and it is probable that there
was no other family in the State that
exercised more political influence.
Three of the brothers have taken an
active part in politics. The deceased
has served in both houses of the legis-
lature, being speaker Of the Senate and
succeeding to the Governorship of the
State, on the death of William Cannon,
the war Governor of the State, and
afterwards he was elected to the same
Office over James Riddle the Republican
candidate. Willard salisbury the pres
ent able Chancellor of the State, as all
well informed Delawareans know
was United States Senator from the
State for twelve years, and while in
that body was considered one of its abb
est and readiest debaters. AT the present
time Eli Salisbury, the youngest of tie
brothers, is serving his second term in
the United States Senate. The fourth
brother was n successful farmer NUM-
Der of years deceased, and never came
to the front in politics though he was
equal in general ability to the other
brothers.
We detract nothing whatever from the
deceased when we say that he was a
rigid partisan Of the Democratic school,
but to counteract that is the undisput-
ed fact that he was strictly honest in
his official capacity, In the death of
Ex-Governor salisbury, the State has
lost an excellent citizen, the cause of
Education friend, and the Methodist
Church to which he belonged, an in
tluential and useful mem Der.
