New r4.r)ad complications are II Q
order of the day, the latest rumor be-
ing the reported sale of.the p W. q b.
rAlroad to Jay Gould, and that he hes
Joined han ls with the Baltimore Il ONO
thereby displaoing one monopoly al q
putting another in its place At this
writing nothing definite Is known
though there srsimany fer seeing rail-
road men who believe the runor true. II
| it, be true it wilIchsnge the whole aspeo
of the railroad var at Dover, and will en-
der the passage of the Delawsr Western
bill Of no account whatever unless the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company Gomez
to It's relief and pockets 1t for future
operations. Reports say that tie bos-
ton stockholders OF the P. W. Il b.
Railroad who own controlling amount
OF the stock became alarmed at the
prosrect Of the stock depreciating IN
VALUE in view Of the passage ofthe Della
ware Western Railroad bill and hasu
lily sold out to Gould upon the most taV-
lorabls terms. If these reports are true
lit shows that railroading is deer
game, and none know Tor a certainty
when the game has ended, or who ha'
won. II the report be true the people
OF Wilmington will not be better Oft
probably not so we'll of as they wer'
under the old monopoly.
The suldenuess however with which
the change has taken place, II chang
> really has occurred, need not surprise
ANYBODY. The P, W. u q. was
lshort, bat very important link in the
great national thoroughtare connecting
the east, New York and Philsdelphia
' with Baltimore, Washington and the
South. There were monster corpora
tions at either end, which conld almost
at any time have secured the p, W. n
B. link, and because they did not do sc
is. probably, because they did not need
it until now. With Joan W. Garrett
and the Baltimore Il Ohio road at the
south end, and Jay Gould, the Erie
railroad, and the Boundboook at hi:
back, at the other end, We need NO
wonder that the P W. X b. road wal
crushed out between them. Assuming
this mornings rumors 10 be true /
would indicate that both the Dslswar'
Western and the Pilling bill, were bn'
skirmish lines to create diversion
, from the real point Of attack, and thu
when the attention OF the public was
I, drawn out ard riyited upon the Skin
mishers, the attack was made upon thu
, main line which fell AL easy prey. Be
fore saying more upon this subj Get VT
await developments, not putting i'm
plioit confidence in the reported rumor
and we would advise our readers 10 d.

tor Salisbury has taken care Of the
lower part Of the State by slipping in

and both friends and foes agree that it
would be an infamous action on their

The suggestion of Mr.. Hensel, of Lam
caster, in the Democratic state committee,
for a committee of seven, Of which Mr..
Dill is to be chairman, "to draft rules for
the government of the party in the state,
these rules to be laid before the next state
convention" is move in the direction Of
greater efficiency in the organization, and
we are glad, as stated in the Post yester-
day, it was adopted. The rules under which
the party now acts, are merely the usases
of the last half century, and We don't
think there has been any advance in that
time. Our state conventions are consti-
tuted and conducted as they were fifty
years ago, when attendance OH them from
the western part of the state occupied a
week and sometimes longer, and every
body moved and thought slower than they
do in these days Of steam and electricity.
We have some very decided views as to
devising new party rules, so as to secure
greater efficiency in campaign work, and
will recur to the subject at another time.
