Mr.. GRIMES is determined to test
before the City Council what that body
calls freebooter before the law, and
the test is to be made by contesting the
seat of Mr.. William Fl. Quinn,
his successful competitor in that body.
Mr.. Grimes makes the charge that at
the time of Mr.. Quinn's election to the
City Council he was not freeholder as
the law requires, that the deed intended
to make him such was not executed
until after the election, that no money
consideration was paid and that the
acknowledgment was not properly
made. Though Mr.. Grimes can hardly
expect to obtain a seat in Council by
this procedure he is entitled to credit
for ventilating this objectionable prac'
tice of becoming freeholder for the
sake of holding an office, and non
freebooter when there are no Offices to
bestow.

THE NEWS has a.wrong report of the
Fourth of July fire ordinance passed
by the City Council last night. The Or
dinance only prohibits the firing of
guns, pistols and other explosives in
Guiding crackers and torpedoes until
sunrise on the Fourth which IS a mat
ter quite immaterial to those who want
to jubilate but it will he of great i'm
portance to sick people to whom a few
hours of undisturbed sleep on the morn
ing of the Fourth will be the best anti
dote for disease. This gives the whole
of the Fourth from sunrise to midnight
over to the free exercise of all who wish
to spend the day as they please provid-
ed they commit no breach OF the peace
It was out of consideration for these
merchants who had laid in a large stock
of goods for the Fourth, that Council
modified the ordinance. We are in
formed that it is the intention OF those
who have been active in the matter to
introduce an ordinance Immediately
prohibiting the firing of any kind Of
explosives for the whole of the Fourth
hereafter and merchants being thus
warned in season can govern them
selves accordingly in making their
"a ;7chases. We think that the City
Canlcil acted wisely in the matter and
are entitled to the commentator Of the

AT midnight tonight, the new and

the new to learn from the old, and the
old to instruct the new. After this
formal act of friendship, the old force
will assimilate itself with the public
and engage in various branches of i'll
dustry az their inclination may lead
them. 1t has been our province to criti-
else at times the actions of some mem.
bers of the force, because there we're
times when such criticism was neces.
sary, but the whole force retires from
duty with the hest wishes of the re-
PUBLICAN. The record of the new pc.
lice force is to be made, and the force
has tie making of it, 1t is for them to
act in such manner as to avoid critl-
cism and to make for themselves a
record which shall be commended and
not condemned. AT the hands of the
REPUBLICAN they will receive deserved
commendation, but political sympathy
will not shield them when they deserve
it. We hope the latter will never be

A MAN HAS just died in Paterson,
New Jersey, aged 101 years, who in his
g9th year came to the conclusion that
tobacco, which he had been using for
80 years, was injurious and left its use.
The question which divides mortuary
neientists is whether the man died
from abstaining from or whether it took
the weed all that time to do its deadly
work. The man may have lived two
hundred years had he not used the
poisonous weed, who knows? We
sesve the question with the Asbury
Mutual Improvement Association.

LOW PRICES can &C

we never wait to let others

that is the reason our large
sales have continued during
the backward spring. We
very quietly let our custo-
mers know this fact when
they first looked at our
spring styles, and they told
their friends to come and
they found it to be a fact,
and they likewise told their
neighbors where to find the
best goods for the lowest
prices, and we learning that
we were the acknowledged
leaders asserted it through
the columns of the REPUB-
LICAN. Now we mean to
maintain our position, and
some new goods just IN

FRIDAY JUNE 30, 1852


There is large numDer oi peneNo-
lent kind hearted ladies and gentlemen
of mears and leisure in the city who
are looking around and apparently
waiting for an opportunity to offer,
where they can invest little money,
not for the purpose of bringing back
six per cent interest in hard cash, out
a hundred per cent. in health and hap
pipess, not only to Themselves but to
Hundreds of others of their fellow
creatures. To such persons we have a
proposition to make, but before we
make it we will lead them gradually
into the plan. 1t requires but a glance
from observant people to show them
that there are hundreds of poor mothers
and children in the city who hardly
ever experience the benefits of a holt
day or the luxury of day of rest.
From morning to night, day after day.
in a little pent up sweltering kitchen
or room, over a tearing fire in stoves,
these mot hers sweat and toll to con-
tribute to the general porpose of making
ends meet in the family. In such fami.
lie. there are usually large numbers
OF children who are either confl to
sitting atmospheres in small hot rooms
or are left to run the streets. The lat
ter the most preferred on account ofthe
recreation and the occasional breath OF
fresh air that is caught. Many ofthese
mothers and children are sickly and it
is not to their discredit that they are
POOR. A day in the woods would be a
Grand luxury to them, but the scanty
pittance upon which they are compelled
to live denies them even this luxury.
On behalf of these mothers and child.
rem and invalid men, we would appeal
10 the kind hearted ladies and gentle
mon Of means already referred to. What
would you have done are we asked?
Well we will let our thoughts out. We
would have free excursions on the city
hallway cars from the crowded portions
OF the city to the grand groves and
wooded hills along the Brandywine.
We would not haveit cost these women
and children anything. We would
have the expenses whatever they are
borne by these ladies and gentlemen
Who have the means they would no
doubt be glad to spend in such a good
work. We have no doubt that ar.
rat gemerts could be made with the
Wilmington City Railway Company to
run their large excursion car, if need
be two or three trips in the morning and
shs same in the evening on one or two
days in the week at greatly reduced
rates for the furtherance of such noble
charity. The cars could unload at
sither Broome or Rodney street, from
whence it is hut short step to the most
delightful groves upon the Brandy wine.
Special days could be set and the hours
named for these excursions and all whe
would accept the offer could be at the
starting place designated on time. The
pleasure of the day would be enhanced
by tank OF water being placed in the
woods and large lump of ice pumped
in on such occasions. These fee excur
sions would not cost much and the
pleasure and happiness impaired and
enjoyed would be immense. Who will
move in the enterprise.

The large window of 1901
Chestnut is full of figured
silks peculiar to the season;
each piece marked with its
price, so as 10 be seen from
outside. 1t is a splendid
sight. No such gathering Of
rich silk decorations can be
seen within ninety miles Of
US; that's certain.
You, who read but can't
come to see, need to be told
further, though we speak OF
these silks as rich, that they
are not so costly as the
word may seem to imply |
The selling-time of such is
coming to an end. The prices
are nor what they were.
Some are a dollar a yard
less; some two dollars. We
can afford some loss now. 1t
is worth something to make
such an exhibit with July al
most upon us. If we have
such a ariet} now, what
must we have had a month
ago? This YVES written, sup

part Of these silks could be
got into that window
Silk trade has been won

come andgone,as if the wind
blew them in and out. Quiet
er times are coming now;
but still we shall have no dull
time; for where trade is
ready goods always graviate;
and the duller the times else
where the more generously
the goods come.

GEORGE p. MARSH.
A Reminiscence OF .he Great schoI,

~ VI btC
Glanced to be in Burlington when Fort
Sumpter was struck. Who can ever forget
that dazed feeling, that bewildered sensation,
that seized on every mind when startled to
IL realization of the fact that Secession had
actually raised its bloodrcd, fratlicidal hand
against the Nation and that civil war had
actually begun? The next day evening, a
mass meeting was called at the Town Hall.
The people thronged the building. What is
10 he lone Whittier are we drifting? Who
shall mark out for us the path of duty in this
awful crisis9 These were the questions
mutely being asked by the citizens AS anxi-
ously they hurried to the Town Hall on that
memorable, ncver-to bc-forgotten evening.
Singuar.y, the man demanded by the hour
was at hand. That man was one the
Nation had long since learned to hon
or Hon. George p. Marsh, under APP
pointmen,, by President Lincoln, as minis.
Ter to Italy. lie had actually started for
the cars, ON his journey to Europe. never

TO pause long enough to enter the Town Hall
and address his fellow citizens on the crisis.
lie did so. | shall never forget that eloquent,
earnest, patriotic, statesmanlike speech. 1t
had the true ring, nothing could have been
more timely. Meantime an incident, not in
the programme, occurred during the pro
grcss of the meeting which rendered the oc
casion memorable, perhaps beyond any
other ever known in Burlington. Directly il
the midst of Mr.. Marsh's aforesaid eloquent
and passonately patriotic address two mel
were unsuspectingy employed in stretching
some bunting from gallery to gallery in tn
rear of the audience, A few caugh
sight of it and began to cheer, others turnet
about aud took up the cheering. Presently
the whole audience joined 10. The excite
ment and enthusiasm increased and became
intense. The speaker paused, the who'll
congregation spontaneously rose to their fee
and shouted and hurrahed, in view of tina
dear old flag, until there was scarcely DIR,
eye in the house. Patriotism, from being
mere idea, in that hour became principle
and intensely emotional--onlya single in
stance, however, of the marvellous uprising
on behalf of the impcrillcd country that pre-
vailed throughout all the Northern States
In another half hour Mr. Marsh was on hi
way TO Europe. lie was never to see Bur
lngton again. What an impressive back
ground that event was of all his subsequen
memories Of home! And when, meantime
shall we ever see his like again?
