THr HERplo COACHES are run with

IHE dEhDlV COAShLo CIV AuA "-~
considerable success In our sister city
of Reading. The Times says, one In
operation on q prominent street less
than week, gives promise Of becoming
a paying investment. If the Herdic
coaches pay in Reading there is no rea'
son why they should not pay in Will
minpton. There are many places IN
our city which are hard to reach and
which could easily be reached by tnese
coaches. Reading is city OF about
the same population of Wilmington
and has its proportion of street cars,
hut stillit seems there is room for the
runniup of some half dozen Herdic
coaches, and the Times argues there is
still room for more. Quite number
might be run proftably in this city,
and amongst the routes which most
need one is that from about Fourth
street to Riverview cemetery. A line
of street cars would pay well on this
route, but there seems to be such hesi.
tation on the part of citizens living
along the route to subscribe to the
building of street railway that any
enterprising coach company line would
he justified in occupying the ground.
A line of Herdic's from about Fourth
and Market streets out Fourth to Mad
ison. down Madison to Maryland ave-
nue to points in the Eleventh Ward
would undoubtedly pay, and so would
a line from Market street out Eighth to
Union. and the Scheutzen Park. A
line from about Third and Market
streets over Third street bridge and
down Christiana avenue to the new
Lobdell Car Wheel Works might soon
become paying institution, and why
should not Herdic coaches pay it run
to New Castle, Newport, Brandyw'ne
Springs, and up to DuPonts' Banks at
certain hours in the day? We believe
there is paying field of operation here
for some enterprising individual with
considerable pluck and push and little
cash. Who will look after it?

WILMINGTON HAS a Home for Aged
Women and Home for Friendless
Children, both institutions which ale
doing much towards alleviating the
yicissitudes and miseries OF life. But
while the city and people are to be con-
graduated upon these evidences of SUI
perlative kindness towards the unfor'
tunate, it is to be regretted that Will
mington has no Home for Aged Men
When the latter become INDECENT and
unable to make a living for themselves
unless they have friends to keep them,
they are hustled off to the Almshouse,
while perhaps the aged wife will be ad-
mitted to the Home for Aged Women.
We knew a case of this kind to happen
in Wilmington some time ago, but the
wife is now dead, while the husband is
still at the Almshouse. This is not
creditable to what is called the high
toned benevolence of our city, and
shows the great need for an Aged
Mems Home. There are many beauti,
full and healthful spots around the city
admirably adapted for such Home,
but none more 30 than the romantic
little grove on Lowering avenue be-
tween Rosendale Park and the beauti-
full row of new cottages erected on
Rodney street between Shallcross and
Lowering avenues. 1t belongs to Messrs.
Bradford and Candy, and we have nc
doubt as these gentlemen are noted 70,
their benevolence, that ample ground
could be procured for the building o.
the Home referred to. Will not som'
of our citizens with large benevolent
hearts move In this matter?

1UEs DAY, MAY 23, 1883,
The Bread and Meat On estion.


Now that a year has elapsed since
we have felt the inconvenience of short
crops we are beginning to see and in
uuire into the real causes of the rise in
the prices of breadstuffs and meat.
Official reports from the Bureau of
Statistics at Washington, show that
during the current fiscal year the de-
cline in American exports of bread
stuffs to foreign posts reached theprodig.
ious sum of over $67 900, 900 as compared
with the previous year. This of course
was attributable to the short crops
though at the same time they were suf-
ficient to satisfy all the wants of our
own large population, but also to fur
nish for shipment to foreign countries
breadstuffs to the amount of S71, ,0O0,-
900. From these figures it will be seen
how vast is the industry Of this Repub-
lie engaged in the production of bread
stuffs for domestic and foreign con-
sumption. The extraordinary extent OF
our exports in previous years of good
products gave to our foreign commerce
. very peculiar development, which is
now seen to be unstable, because it de-
pended too largely upon the condition
of the grain crops.
There has been disposition to i'm
pute to similar causes the extraordi-
nary advance in the price of meat in
our own markets, but very full and
detailed trade report published in Chi
cago of the W estern cattle drovers, shows
eonclusively that the condition of the
stock of cattle in the far Western States
and territories warrants tha eXpecta.
ton that there will be ten per cent
more bee yes marketed this season than
last year. Some curious facts appear
In the reports, An article published in
a London journal says that American
beef is now sold in the English marke s
a. British beef, by which means the
consumers have to pay for it, prices
Is per cent. higher than when it
was sold as American meat. The best
En- glish judges have pronounced the
American beef decidedly superior in
quality to the English, and thus we
find new state Of things in existence
there, which is calculated to give great
impetus to the importations of Ameri'
ban beef. 1t is quite probable that the
great advance in the price of beef cat. |
tie in the chief American market in
Chicago, had its origin in the knowl-
edge of this change, the effect of which
ia to enable the American exporters OF
beeves to command and obtain bette r
prices in England for their cattle than
they had previously been getting. If
this be so, then the rise in the price of
beef had its origin in England instead
of New York, as has generally been
supposed. This state of affairs is most
unfortunate since it puts an extrava.
giant price upon beef in the retail mar
kets of this country, and unless some
thing unexpected turns up, it looks
from the present standpoint as If there
would be no diminution in the price OF
meat for some time to come.

1t is the great word in which the Eug-

French will some day get a word for it
instead of that of femme. But what
do you think it comes from? The great
value Of the Saxon words is that they
mean something. Wife means 'weav-

the deep sense you must either weave

the copper itself is so high, American
shipbuilders are deprived of much of
their legitimate work on account of the
high price of sheathing copper. Vessels
now frequently make a trip to Eng
land unsheathed, and have the work
performed there, as the metal is 80
much cheaper in that country. This is
one Of the smaller advantages that
might be reaped by developing this
trade. England's predominant inter-
ests on this coast date from the estab-
lishment of a steamship line by Mr..
Wheelright, an American, who failed
to interest his own countrymen in the
project. Before that epoch Americans
were the greatest rivals of the English,
and were making tremendous strides
in advance.
At Iquiqui there were thirty vessels
loading inter. Three of these were
American vessels, though that does
not represent the proportion of inter
America takes. Iquiqui is one of the
most barren places on this coast where
everything is barren. AL fresh water
has to be distilled or brought from
africa. Not a solitary thing grows
here. and those who import articles of
food make an enormous profit. Cab
bages that sell in Callao for 5 cents
apiece, here cost $1.25 and other things
increase in value in like proportion.
