Some six year, ago this Temperance"
Order was ia tiourishing condition IN our
City and State, but was allowed to Ian
sush, and only Il few lodges remained
IN working order. Larterly, however,
it has taken new life and reports from
all parts OF the Union rs we'll rs in
Europe, Africa and elsewhere show
that it Is receiving heavy arc"ssions to
its numbers. This is noticeably So in
our own State. DR.. WIN. Hargreaves,

Everybody ought to know
what provision we make for
fitting shoes. About half our
filters are men, and half wo-
men all competent and care
full. The responsibility we
bear for satisfaction with our
shoes includes the fitting as
well as the material and the
making. This would bring
home to us very sharply any
failure.
One the most significant
incidents in this part OF our
trade is the sudden and radi-
cal change in the method
and material of it, made not
only without diminution OF
trade tut with very substan-
al gam. We have actually
thrown away the bargain
trade altogether; and have
gained a good deal thereby
even in volume, to say moth.

The Tyrant'S Course.

The refusal by the members OF the
Legislature from Kent and Sussex
counties to give IA proper number OF
representatives to New Castle County
can very properly be regarded as tyran-
nicaI. They have the power to refuse,
but only tyrants and robbers put up
such plea i'll cXtenuation of their deeds.
Men should do right under all cirrunl-
stances. II is as wrong to withhold
from community its proper rights an
it is to withhold from aperson property
which rightirlily belongs to him. We
dislike to see men ASSUME the position
Of IA rOhbrr who seiZeS IA traveller or
the highway, and having secured a
well-hlird pocketbook, reminds his
victim that h. is powercss to compel a
restoration Of his property. The old
axiom, " Let justice be- done though the
hca,cns tall,' is worth repeating, and
should be the motto Of all honest men.

The better class Of Democrats in this
city are opposed to the creation of
either Police OF Water Commission by

politicians at the expense Of the people.
While they would not object to the APP
pointment of commission for spe-
cial object, they do object to make it "A
permanent institution, as it would event
ually become a political machine in the
hands of interruptions politicians, ana
result in great wrong. The members Of
the Legislature should feel that they are
acting for the whole people and not for
a few partisans, and scorn to become
the instruments of oppression or injus-
tice. 1t is better to have the approval
Of conscience than the plaudits of dema-
gogues, az in ancient times it was said
" More true glory AriStidcs exilcd feels
Than Cesar with Senate at his heels
We fear, however, there are many
men who are reader to initiate Caesar
than Aristides, and while pretending
to uphold Democracy would trample
justice under foot with the same hypo-
critical prctence which animated Bru-
tus whcn he used his dirk, exraiming

whether the distance travelled was long
or short, because the State required the
railroad companies to collect 1t and pay
II over to the State. Thus If the fare
to New Castle from Wilmington WAS
twenty-five cents, a passenger had TO
pay thirty-fve cents for ticket. From
this it will be seen that instead Of rail-
roads paying the taxes, travellers had TO
do it. We are Of the opinion that the
proposed tax on telegraph and tele.
phone poles will BE- collected in much
the same manner, by the companies
laying the tax on messages. Though
we are in sympathy with the general
object sought by Mr.. Justis bill. we
doubt very much whether any such tax
az proposed can be levied and collected
without expressing our business men
who daily use telegraphs and telephones.

in which to close out our still
large stock Of Dry Goods and
Notions. Our lease expires
on March 25th, and we must
move; but we don't propose
to move any goods, as we
have no further use for them;
the filthy lucre isgood enough
for us; it takes up less room
and don't cost anything to
move. The store is rented to
other parties, and the stock
must be sold to close the bust
ness. Consequently, you will
find more genuii-. bargains
in our store for the next 80
days than were ever before
displayed in the city Of VIII
mington. Want of time and
space will not permit us to
mention details; but a visit to
our store and an inspection
of our stock and comparison
of prices will convince you
that now is the time to buy,
as every hour we are closing
out from every department
