TEE STATE LoAN.--State Treasur-
or Reynolds Yves in the city yesterday
and paid the GAZETTE Office visit.
He La delighted with the easy, salts
factory and successful manner in
which he has been enabled to convert
the State loan from six per cent. bonds
to four per cents. He is now more
surprised than ever that the GAZETTE
had to labor for six years to secure
the passage of an act through the
Legislature to effect saving to the
people by this means. But reforms
always come slow. The measure had
!. the earnest recommendation of Cover
nor Cochran, and q fair but ineffective
support in the legislature of 1877, and
only failed in 1879, because of the
scandalous conduct of Interested par
ties In tho last hours OF the session.
The appeal made by Governor Hall,
In his message and the adherence of
the holding over Senators, and the fact
that the Government was about to
Z, convert its bonds to s per cents, de-
priyed the opposition of almost every
argument against the project, and it
! IL now accomplished 80 nearly that all
there ia to do is to take up the old
bonds ON which interest ceases on the
arst Of July and cancel them. The
amount of the premium secured by
the State over the face OF the loan is
about s2S, 900 while the saving in an
nual interest win be more than enough
to pay the entire expenses of the BIZ
ennial sessions Of our Legislature.
y, To the large States this saving may
seem very trifing but it must be re-
membered that Delaware is very
ANAL in territory and that its popula-
ton does not equal the population of
many counties in the larger States,
hence the tax upon our people for
State legislation as well as county is
considerable, and it is no small matter
to be rid Of it through the wise man~
5agsment and careful procedure of the
Democratic party. But in addition
to this the Democratic Legislature is
entitled to the credit of having made
some $4,000 for the people of the
State by the exchange of the mort
gage bonds it held against the P, W.
q B. R. R. In conclusion we feel
sure that we may rely upon the next
Legislature, IL it is Democratic, re-
heving oar people of large amount
OF the tax that now rests upon their
Industrial labors.

The immense increase in the earn
ings of many railroads is matter Of
surprise to every reader. The amount
of traffic that has been passing over
the roads within the past two years is
simply enormous, and shows what
may be expected from the great West
when it is more densely populated with
the thrifty farmers, who are daily set-
Ting new lands.

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?

'HE CHANcHRY."-The present
Chancellor was once a politician"
At least, that was what the clergy
were aceustomed to term him, and
and many Of his friends, whenever a
little difficulty or wrangle occurred in
the grand old political party with
which he was united, and to which the
great mass Of the clergy were inimical.
We have not the least doubt, in fact
We are quite sure thar the Chancellor
was very sincere and as kindly inten-
TONED N wise in his advice, when the
other day, he bad to sit and listen to
the appeal by the clergy and their
counsel, TO determine between the
wrangles that have done injury to the
caase Of religion and caused mischiet
ir two Of the churches of this diocease.
But Il IL not 1t all unlikely that while
he Was giving vent 70 so much wisdom
