TyphOid Fever.

Typhoid fever prevailed i'll our city a
few years ago, to rather alarming eX-
tent. A satisfactory reason for the
same has not YET been given. Several
ply sicians, however, attributed its ori.
gin to the digging up of the streets for
the purpose of putting in water and gas
pipes. We cannot say that they were
right in their surmiSeS, but we do know
that disease has frequently followed
the digging of canals and making rail
roads in many sections of country that
had been comparatively healthful.
Such being the fact our City Council
should be extremely careful in granting
authority to any one to dig up our
streets for any purpose not absolutely
necessary for comfort or convenience.
1t cannot be wise or expedient to grant
privileges to any party for speculative
purposes for if any disea.e should fol-
low they would be measurehly respon-
Sible, and in case of the death Of a SINGLE
prominent citizen that which was aGs
vocated as a benefit might well be con-
Sidered a calamity.

THE SPRING seems to be prolific of
church troubles in the Protestant Epis-
copal Diocese Of Delaware, a revolt
against the constituted authorities be-
ing in progress in Trinity Parish in this
city and also in Delaware City
These are unpleasant little episodes
in church history and experience, but
they have always existed since churches
were organized, and will no doubt con-
tinuc as long as there is a church. In
these instances however we have nc
doubt that under the rulings and wise
ministrationS Of such a conservative
man as Bishop Lee the belligerent ma
lures of the unruly will be assuaged
and peace will resume its sway.

possibly lower.
Will the introduction of two new gas
companies into the city as competitors
make gas any cheaper? This is a ques-
ton to be considered by oar taxpayers.
Opposition companies were introduced
into Trenton and other cities of the
same size and in larger cities, and the
consequence was that gas was dearer
than when there was but one company.
The reason of this was that the con-
sumption of gas was not sufficient to
sustain two companies, hence followed
the increased price of gas, and a poorer
quality. Finally one company was
compelled to sell out to the other, and
without competition gas came down in
price again. May we not reasonably
expect that the experience of other
cities will be that of Wilmington if our
streets are thrown open to be torn up
by one or two other competing gas com
panies? the Wilmington Coal Gas
Company having a monopoly at the
present # furnishing all the gas con-
sumed in this city, can by reason of
that monopoly furnish it for $l.SO per
thousand feet, could it be expected that
it could be furnished at the same rate
if the number of gas consumers We're
divided between three companies? As
soon as those favoring the introduction
of one or two competing companies into
the city can show that competition in
other cities has reduced the price Of gas
to below what it is furnished for in
Wilmington without composition, then
there will be ample time to consider the
propriety Of establishing competition,
which would be very uncertain in its
duration.
Unless there would be some certainty
that good and safe gas would be fur
nished, and that the price would be re-
duced to at least twenty-five cents per
thousand feet below what it now is, it |
would not pay to have our streets torn
up, travel impeded, and the health Of
our citizens jeopardized, This would
bring the price Of gas down to Sl.55, at
which price we may reasonably infer
hat three companies could not hv"
ong in city Of $1,000 population.
bur citizens should weigh the gas ques-
ion well and equitably before throwing
up their hats for new company sim
ply on the score of opposition to mono
)olies. There are monopolies that do
lot oppress the people and the Will
nington Coal Gas Company is one Of
hem.

GENERAL GARFIELD, though now
President of the United States has not
forgotten how to make neat, terse, el0-
Quent speeches, and models Of original
ity Of thought that so distinguished him
when he was Il candidate. The brief
address made by him yesterday AT the
uuveiling of the Farragut statute is one
of the most original and eloquent OF all
that he has made. Look at the origin
ality, the pathos and the eloqUencc OF
the following paragraph
"To-day we come TO hail this hero
who comes from the sea, down from the
shrouds OF his flagship, wrcathed with
the smoke and glory Of victory, bring
ing sixty years of national life and
honor TO take his place us an honorcd
compatriot and perpetual guardian OF
his nations glory
To have Il clear conception ofthc above
paragraph, it should be remembered
that when in the midst of the hottest Of
the battle Of Mobile Bay, Farragut had
himself tied to the main mast thjS YES
sci in full view of the enemy and expos
ci to his fire, 50 that he conld have II
distinct view Of what was going on and
so nothing but cannon balls could move
him from his chosen post Of duty. Pres
idcnt GarfeId's speech is a deserving
compliment to the memory Of The Old
naval hero, and well may he say, al
accept the noble statue, and his coun-
try will guard it as he (FarraguD
guarded his country"

for my moderation, which has spared
you a postal consignment of hearty
thwacks with my favorite walking
stick. [ remain, etc.
The editor, not to be outdone in
heroism, responded through his paper;
''Inimitable Adversary: In com
pliance with your request, / hasten
to thank you for having only sent me
a couple of cuffs instead of severe
thrashing. You have struck me in
writing. Similarly, I hereby dis
charge all the six barrels of my re-

yourself a dead man. I salute your

The Utah Contested Election.

WASHINGTON, December 23.--Ihe
Utah contested election case pre-
sents some perplexing features, AMI
some OF the best lawyers of the
House are in doubt as to the course
they ought to take in regard to it.
The subject is likely to give rise to
an interesting debate when the
resolution to seat Campbell comes
up in January. Mr.. Campbell holds
q certificate Of election 1rom Gov
ernor Murray, while MIR. Cannon has
nothing but certified statement OF
returns showing that he had Il ma
jority of the votes cast The gov
ernors certificate is irregular, or at
least unprecedented, In that 1t con-
tains the clause, "belng a citizen OF
the United States" The law gives
the governor no power to Judge OF
the eligibility OF candidate for
Congress-, but commands him to give
certificate to the person having the
greetest number of votes. Another
statute declares that the candidate
shall be a citizen of the United States;
but, by universal custom and under
Standing, Congress and not the Gov
ernor of State or Territory is to
Judge of the eligibility of the cand1-
date in this regard as in others.
tits argued by some of Mr.. Camp,
bells champions in Congress that the
offending clause in the Governor s
certificate is merely piece of ex-
Planatory information thrown in pa
fenthetically, being true, but still
unnecessary, and therefore does not
vitlate the certificate. In reply,
1t Will doubtless be said that with
out the clause mentioned, the GER
clhcate would be a faleshood, since it
bnotOrious that Cannon had a ma.
J0rlty of the votes cast. II is not
improbable that both contestants
Will be reiected-Camphell because
OF a defective certificate, and Cannon
because he has none.
There is q strong determination
among Congressman to take vigor-
Gus measures to suppress polygamy,
but several of those who are most
earnest in this design say that there
must be no trickery, and that the
cause would only be weakened by
selzng unfair advantage. There is
also q well-grounded fear that by
recognizing a Governors right to
Judge of the eligibility Of acandidate
for Congress, precedent would be
established which would give rise to
endless trouble in the future.
