what Is Going on An She YOUNG
City.
New Castle is passing through rather
dull lethargic spell just now, but the
manufactures are running on full time
and with tull complement of hands.
The meetings of the Courts are very
much miss Vi especially by hotel, sa-
loon aud boarding house keepers, and a
trip through the centre of the city on a
sultry day reminds US of Goldsmtth's
deserted village. Even building oper.
ations are not brisk this season, some
i've or six new houses on Union Street
making up the building statistics thus
far the present season.
But New Castle over-did itself last
year and the year before in the build.
ing line and it cannot be expected to
keep up to that mark all the time.
Strange as it may seem yet 1t is true
that there are those in the country who
do not know that the courts have been
removed to Wilmington. When such
persons saunter around asking for such
and such an Office it may be imagined
with what broad sarcastic grin their
inquiries are met with. Certainly such
persons do not take the county papers,
or if they do they do not read them.
Very little is said on politics yet,
though it is expected that there Will be
a red hot time when the campaign gets
fully under way.
So far the unity in the Republican
party has made the Democrats look
blue and there is no questio- that they
are very much disheartened, and Re
puhlicans proportionally elated. The
Democratic row officers are very much
missed as they were good for large
number of votes. At the last State
election New Castle which included
the whole Hundred polled $40 votes for
Hancock and 39l for Garfield, majority
Ior Hancock 27l. This makes New
Castle the banner Democratic Hundred
of the County, but the Republicans
feel confident that they will reduce
this majority very materially.
There is no disguise to the open mani
festation of complaints amongst Demo
Gratis against Senator Bayard for his
course on the match tax question, and
there are quite q number Of discerning
Democrats who are beginning to think
that the Senator doesn't care a plea
yune whether 50 900 or 100,0 900 laboring
men of New Castle county are disfran-
chised SO that he retains his seat in
the Senate through such disfranchIse-
ment. All this is a little leaven work
ing in the very heart of the Democracy
which will leaven the whole party. One
thing is certain, William Herbert is los.
ing his hold upon the Democrats of
New Castle, not that they have lost
faith in Mr. Herbert, but they don't
like the idea of having "boss," and
though they might vote the same way
Mr.. Herbert does, they would rather
do it of their own volltion.
New Castle was formerly considered
q pleasant place in which to spend the
summer months, there being always q
fresh breeze down on the battery when
there was none elsewhere, and it is just
as pleasant yet but the cheap fares and
attractions at the sea board resorts de-
tracs from New Castle, and this year
there are fewer visitors thin usual at
New Castle. The first of series of
Temperance meetings Is to be held on
the battery next Sunday evening at six
o'clock, by the W. G. T. U. but the
speakers for the occasion are not named
yet,
Rev. James Scott, local divine,
preached very fine temperance dis
course last Sunday evening in the M.
E. church.
Mr.. White, editor and proprietor of
the New Castle Star, has removed his
publishing Office into the cid Prothono-
tary's office, and uses the old Office Of
the Clerk of the Peace tor his editorial
