A Law ina. n Nseds RspeallnE.

One OF the first things the Legislature
should do when it meets is to repea'
the espionage established over the Ii
4uor traffic in this city. What good has
Bailitf Brady done? Even If two or
three persons have been annoyed in
the illegal sale of liquor, nobody will
pretend to say that there is less liquor
sold In Wilmington than before the Of
h3e of liquor bailiff was created. Sell.
ing without license, selling on Sunday
and selling to miners is just as much In
vogue now as two years ago, before Mr.
Brady commenced his espionage of the
liquor traffic. The law providing for
the appointment of liquor bailitfopens
up a snug little berth at three dollars a
day for some seedy and needy politician
it is true, but can the county afford to
pay such good wages for SO little work
We have high regard for Mr.. Ogle,
who, it is said, is sure to succeed Mr..
Brady, and the only thing we wonld
regret in the repeal of the law, would
be that it would take away very snug
little sinecure from Mr.. Oele. But
then he will get along. His star is al
ways in the ascendant. When he aims
for an Office he brings it. he will be
taken care of and while there are OFF,
ces in the gift Of the Democratic party,
it will be dark day when friend Ogle
will not be in possession of of them.
But honestly, candidly. speaking, the
Office of liquor bailiff is not needed and
it costs tie County a round thousand a |
year. 1t may be better under Mr..
Ogle's management. 1t is not beca lse |
there has been nothing to do that it has
shown such poor returns in the past,
but because there was little inclination
on the part of the late bailiff to do the
work. The work Dot performed brought
a greater percentage Of profits to the
political party to which the late bailiff
belonged, than If rigtdly or even mod.
erately performed, and hence this may
have been reason for the lax enfor ce-
ment of the laws. In these days when
liquor drinking has become popular
md a large majority OF the people in
lulge in it, ary attempt to circum-
cribe the traffic by detectives, or es-
an espionage over it is
aughed at,and the enforcement Of such
avs are laughed at. This is virtually
N age of free liquor, the only bar 70 il
'eing the unintorCed laws, which had
'etter far be repealed than to be so Of
en- violated with impunity. Whatever
'ublic sentiment is In Maryland, it is
ute another thing in Delaware. How.
yer, until this law creating q liquor
'ailitf is repealed, let Us try Mr.. Ogle. Il

Now when the store is so
thronged, ana when the
condition of the vario US
stocks is changing so fast
the need OF late news is
more urgent than ever,Rit is
difficult to gather the news
and difficult to tell it We
are careful. beyond our wont
in both the gathering and
telling; but much will escape
us, and much will be made
quately told. Besides some
parts OF the store are so tax
ed already that it seems a
trespass to say anything to
tax them more; toys, for
example in that great base
ment, who ever expected
to see that full? Again
some features of our trade
are so well known that they |
may be taken for granted at
a time like this, when the
question seems to be not
what is most important but
what is most urgent. |

Suppression OF POlygamy.

The senate Judiciary committee
has agreed upon bill designed
for the suppression of polygamy.
It's main features are sections
biased on Mr. Edmumds's bil) do
ing away with the present require
ment of proofs of polygamous
marriages, by providing that the
fae of living in bigamous rela-
tions shall be sufficient evidence
for conviction, and that in prose-
cutions for bigamy any person
drawn as a iuryman may be chal-
lenged on the ground that he prac c.
tices or believes in polygamy as a
religious rite, and certain new pro-
visions introduced by senator Lo
gan, debarring polygamists from
the privilege of voting, service on
iuries, or holding Office.

Although he carried a dozen
bullets, more or less, deeply i'm
bedded in his flesh, Wild Bill new.
er sustained an internal wound.
He was killed, while playing cards,
by q scoundrel who for $500 blood
money paid him by gamblers,
sneaked up behind Bill and blew
his brains out. Bill was a very
honest and courageous fellow,
who in his office of Marshal was
! the terror of the crooked" gam
/ blers of the territory. The post
mortem examination of his remains
explained his immunity from pene.
/ trative bullet wounds. 1t was dis
covered that his ribs were welded
together, the inter-costal cartileges
and muscles having ossifed. His
lungs and heart, therefore, were
naturally protected by cuirass oI
bone. Such was the wonderful
rapidity with which Bill could
draw his pistol, that even in the
sudden death which befell him, ht
had time enough and sense enough
to put his hand upon the butt o.
his revolver.

New York star,l

Before the war there were very
few menin the United States worth
over $4,000, 600. Mostof Stewards

after the war. Most of the men
now worth s1O,OOO,O00 and upward,
were considered poor and honest
% years ago. To-day w. IL. Van
derbilt has s65, 100000 in United
States bonds and he is reported
to hold some s5O,OO0,000 in &ew
York Central and Hudson River
stock, s5O,OOO,O0O more in other
railroads in this and Othor States,
and a vast amount OF valuable real
estate in this city. His property
cannot amount to less than s2OO,-
100000, and probably is nearer
O0,00O, 900 than the former sum.
He is, without question, the rleh'
est man On the globe to-day. lie
could buy any Of the Roshschilds,
and still be the richest man IN the
world. And, unlike the rich men
of England-the Dukes OF Bed
ford, Westminster, Argyll and
Buccleuh, who inherited their great
estates-Yanderbilt's property has
[ been accumulated in two genera
tions, and most of it within thirty
