The Philadelphia Times thinks that
the New York World under it's new
management is doing a great work in
killing off Democratic candidates for the
presidency. However valuable the work,
the World is certainly entitled to credit
for the success with which it is done ;
the means'it uses are not novel, but it
seems to have an exceptional facility
in getting control of them. The candi
dates in fact do the work themselves {;
all the Worlds art is in inducing them
to do it. The new editor, Mr.. Pulitzer,
seems to be a persuasive man.. He
asks his victims to write him Il
letter, defining their positions Oh
the tariff question. They consent, and
are undone. Mr.. Bayard and Mr.. Nc
Donald are the last two that the World
has bagged. Mr.. Mcdonald got on the
fence as much as he dared, bound as he
is by Indiana to tariff for revenue only;
but he did not succeed in climbing up
out of danger and was badly goled.
Mr.. Mcdonald probably had nothing of
a presidential chance anyway, for he is
not a very heavy weight and Gov. Hen
bricks may sit down on him at any time.
Senator Bayard, however, is different
sort of man, and showed surprising
weakness in writing to Mr.. Pulitzer
what sounds very much like nonsense.
But the World can keep on with its little
game without danger of exhausting
Democratic presidential timber; the |
woods are full of it.

New Haven Evening Register.l


O4e Of the most interesting reports
presented to the General Assembly
this year is that oil the Shcll6sh Com
missloners. The figures afford a foun-
dation for the assumption that by the
time of the opening Of work next spring
$4,000 acres Of ground will have been
decided 10 applicants .by the ComHis-
sioners. These, with the $4,000 acres
decided by the towns prior 10 May,
1881, will show al aggregate Of 10000
acres held by c1liivaiors under State
jurisdiction. OF this vast area n large
portion has been cleared up and she'll
ed. One firm has laid dows $50, 900
bushels Of shells. Several large grow
ers have laid down as many as 200. 900
bushels each. A lsull lirger number
have scattered 100000, $4,000 and
10000 each. There are about thirty
steamers engaged IN this business be.
sides a very large number OF sailing
vessels. If no unusual accidents
occur the crop the next two years will
be enormous. One cullivator alone
looks for no less than LOCO 900 bushels
of marketable natives from his own
grounds. As the oysters arc worth
from rs cents to sl.25 per bushel, and
will certainly average 81, here IS a busi-
ness Of 1000 OCO tor year.
