Probably the only man who ever played
policy with profit lives in Ohio. He
evolved scheme which he thought would
win a large amount Of money by the sys.
tematic Investment of $4,000 during three
months. That part of the calculation
failed, of course, and he found himself eX-
acily the $4,000 behind at the end of the
stipulated period. But he had carefully
preserved proofs against the dealers who
had sold him the slips. The law of that
state makes not only gamblers liable for
double their winnings. but also holds the
owner OF the houses wherein the gambling
is done. The player in this instance gets
his money back, and, deducting legal ex
penses, about 81 500 more.

The emperor's equipago and rotinue aIo not
very imposing He is a plain man and does
not care for splendor. Moreover tho "Hnnt'S-
Is as yet undeveloped and the government
poor; consequently, it cannot afford much
show. His majesty rides in an ordinary black
coach, which, in point of style, would scarcely
compare favorably with a street hack in an
American city. Tho vehicle is drawn by six
mules, and is followed by twelve cavalry sol
diers, mostly negroes, and some Of them
smoking cigars, The cavalrymon are as poor
specimens of soldiers Gs the coach is Of We
hicles The coachman wears some poor silver
lace ON his hat and coat-cuffs, and the foot
men arc equally poorly attired. Amidst these
signs of poverty and mock splendor, which
attest either tho weakness of llS govern
ment or the pavsimoGy Of his parliament,
one is irresistibly inpo!ed 10 respect the
mildnoss, wisdom and homgmty of the en-
peror. He wears the painest of black clothes,
bows in return to all who bow to him, and
even lifts his stove pipe hat off when some
gentleman approaches him with like mark
of poitencss He looks much older than
when he visited our country six years ago. L
fancy he has detected look, as though, after
irving in vain to braS his people to a sense of
their backwar,ucss, as compared with tho
more progressive nations which he had
visited in North America and Europe, he had
given up all hope of snecesa. But this coun-
try was originally colonizei in peculiar way.
1t was Il mistake OF Portugal to believe that
Brazil would be settled all the more rapidly if
it was parcelcd out into great estates uaIgn-

centuries ago, into the hands OF the

who are to be candidates for the Leg
,slature is becoming question amongst
politicians, Until recently no other
name was spoken of on the Republican
side than that of Edward G.. Bradford,
ESQ, Jr., who made such good rec
ord for himself and rendered the Stale
such estimable service OF the last ses-
sion of the Legislature. But 1t seems
thst Mr., Bradford Is. averse to the use
of his name for another term and up TO
this time positively declines to DO y
candidate. This is to be regretted, not
30 much in o political aspect as IN d
business point of view, for in Mr. Brad
ford the busiuess men of Wilmington
had an able representative. To succeed
Mr. bradford on the Republican side,
the name of Il. G. Conrad, Esq, has
heen mentioned, but it is understood
that he too declines, and now the name
of Henry G. McLear is prominently
mentioued with the hope that he will
not refuse. There may be others on the
Republican side who are thought OF out
their names have not yet been brough'
prominently before the public. In Mr.
McLear, however, we have no hesita'
tion In saying that Wilmington would
have a fit successor to Mr.. Bradford.
On the Democratic side the name Of
Merris Taylor, ex.clerk OF the Senate
ex-City Councilman, and ex'member
of the Board of Education, and George
Il. Bates, Esq, are prominently men
toned with the chances in favor Of Mr'
TAYLOR in contest between the two

Daily Republican., 1882-09-01

WE DO not doubt the sincerity of the
Morning News in its apparent change
of front on the River and Harbor bill.
A great many papers have changed
their views since they first denounced
it as big steal and the change is no
discredit to the News We merely
noted the fact that the most decided
evidence of change in our morning
contemporary came after Mr.. Bayard
made his Delaware river speech, while
the REPUBLICANS change of front, If
any las occurred, came before. That
is the only difference but alluding to
the coincidence does not imply that
the News would not bave taken the
same stand if the Senator had not made
that speech.

THE COUNTY tax collectors complain
that they 60 to their Office 6O214 Market

CCme and pay their taxes but scarcely
anybody ccmee. Collector Bedford
BSys that only about three have called
in the evening to pay since he received
his 1882 duplicate. This Is entirely
wrOng. People who only pay poll
tax should go and pay it now, and not
wait until few evenings before the
election when the collectors will be
20 hurried that they cannot wait on all
who come. Go and pay now.

which will WIN?

The Democratic organs Of Whining
ton say the River and Harbar bill was
a grand steal, but Senator Bayard the
oracle of these papers says it was not,
and to imputs dishonesty to those who
voted for it is simply nonsense. Here
seems 70 be q difference between the
oracle and his papers, and his presence
is needed around those editorial sane
tums to set things straight. We are
rather surprised anyhow that the Or
Qans would dare to formulate and ex-
press thought of their own without
first consulting the oracle and obtaining
from him that line ofpolicy they should
pursue They belched away in opposi-
ton to the match tax monopoly as If
they really intended to be honest In
sentiment, but when the oracle spoke
they all had to take the back track and
were compelled to say that the match tax
wasn't such bad thing after all, that
1t was clean tax that cost the'govern-
ment nothing to collect. 1t is remark
able that after having been caught once
and having been made to eat their
owD words they should be caught again
SO soon after their first bitter expe-
rience. They ought to have.known better
than to have called the River and Har-
Dor bill a wicked steal before they knew
what The oracle had to say about 1t
We are anxious to see how this differ
ence of opinion between the oracle and
his organs is to be reconciled. The lat
ter says it was steal, the oracle says
it was not. Who is right and who will
win ? The oracle won on the Match
tax question and there can be no doubt
that he will make his organs eNt dirt
again.

Ts 1r NOT true that Senator Bayard

Is IT NOT true that Senator Bayard
Opposes granting an appropriation for
the improvement of the WILMINGTON
harbor, which would give employment
to large number of workmen? He
says he uniformly votes against the
River and Harbor Appropriation bill.
Again, is it not true that he opposed
the reduction of the tax on matches,
which makes his constituents pay two
cents q box more for matches than they
would have to pay If the tax was re-
pealed We presume neither of these
two questions will be denied. Ad-
mitted, where does the Senator stand
Simply opposed to two measures which
directly benefit the working people

mon on heaven and hell at Broad street
Tabernacle Church Philadelphia on
Sunday. He made the point that hesv,
en- is not place to which good people
20 when they die, but a state into
which they enter while they live; and
hell a condition of misery into which
sin plunges people in this life. He said
that every mah is now rising to Dc an
angel or sinking to be DEVIL and that
those who are driven away into outer
darkness are driven away by the inner
darkness in their own lives. On the last
