Railroad Fare Changer

The changes in the fare between this
city and Philadelphia, while they dc
not meet with popular favor from a
large class Of our citizens, will be
hailed with joy by our merchants and
business men. The apparent raising OF
fares between this city and Philadel-
phia is not for the purpose Of initiating
against Wilmington, but more for the
purpose Of equallizing fares along all the
lines Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
There never was any other good reason
by the old management OF the p, W.
& b. Company for reducing the fare to
fifty cents for a single trip than to en-
courage travel between the two cities,
which Injured more to the benefit of the
Comp ny than it did to the city. There
never was any good reason for charging
higher fares south Of Whining on than
north of it, and the whole system of a
cheap fare north and high fare south
worked against the business interests of
Wilmington.
The Pennsylvania Company, in max
ing the changes in contemplation, in
stead Of making fish Of one and flesh Of
another, is bringing all to the same ta-
bic, where they will all be treated alike.
Hereafter those who want to visit Will
mington from the peninsula will pay
the same fare per mile that citizens of
Wilmington will have to pay in going
from Wilmington to Philadelphia. This
seems entirely fair and equitable, and
should meet with no opposition. AS an
offset to the transient fare rates, com
mutation rates are not intertered with.
and in addition daily excursion tickets
are introduced at reduced rates. For
instance, up to this jlne the single fare
rate was sixty cents, and if person
wanted TO go to plIladel phia by railroad
and return the same day. in the same
manner it cost two full fares or 81. 20
for the round trip. Under the change,
excursion tickets for the day will be
issued for Sl.lo, tifty-fve cents each
way, which is really cheaper than the
old rates.
After all, We cannot see that the peo-
pie of Wilmington will lose by the
change, and 1t must be generally con
ceded that the Pennsylvania Company
has had no other idea than that Of
equalizing fares and beneftting the
people. Wilmingtonians really lose
nothing, for While a single fare to Phil
adelphia is increased fifteen cents it is
decreased five cents by purchasing a
round trip ticket and in all cases the
fare southwark from Wilmington either
down the peninsula or to Baltimore has
been materially decreased.

Phipps in J all.

Major Phipps, the almshouse robber,
was brought before the courts in Phila-
delphia last Saturday and sentenced t.
five years imprisonment at hard labor
in the county Jail. Phipps was for ten
years the Superintendent of the Phila-
delphia almshouse, and during that
time showed decided disposition to
look moreafter his own personal interest
tina n after the comfort and interests of
those under his charge. He was a man,
like many others, who could not stand
prosperity and conseG uently was un
fitted for any office of public trust and
confidence. Such men do not exactly
mean to steal when they are put into
a apublic position where they lave the
handling Of money or its equiv alent,
but they become accustomed to kind
of petty piltering that they think there
is no harm in and by persisting in it
they become great thieves without
knowing it, Such was the case with
Tweed, who made his biggest thefts un-
der the shadow Of some kind of law.
Phipps' stealing differed from Tweed )
in the amount stolen, and was morally
worse, because be stole from the poor
paupers.
1t must be admit II, though, that
Phipps was successful thief, as in his
ten years superintendency Of the Aims
house he managed to lay by a million
and half ont Of his salary, which
could not have been more than i've
thousand dollars.
The difference between 81, 5000 600 and
$50, 900, the latter the salary Of Phpps
for ten years, is 81 40, 900, a snug little
sum to lay by even if he whole salary
was expended for little fam lily wants.
But with all his thieviug we doubt if
Phipps is model happy man. He is
not an old man yet, and five years n
the County prison will soon slip
around. He will come out with the
greater part Of his stealings saved, but
we have ser ious doubts whether his
course will IN eet the approval of his
own conscience. We are rather inclin :
ed to think that he would gladly let his
ill-gotten wealth take wings and fly
away where he could never see or hear
Of it again, if he could only stand be-
fore the community an honest man
once more. Stealing in the long run
will not pay. Honesty is the best
policy"

Prizes I'm School.

In the contest for the Adams grammar
prizes during the school year ius
closed, tifty-two boys and thirty min,
girls took part, thereby showing the
interest taken by scholars under slim
ulss. 1t was not 80 much the intrin
sic value of the prize that induced st
many to enter the contest as the homo
OF obtaining it as q reward for prof
cheney in a particular branch of study.
Ifa prize, like the Adams prize, excite,
such deep interest in scholars as to
induce ninety-one of them to put forth
unusual efforts to excel, and to do m ore
shan they would otherwise have done,
the question arises would it not be wise
to offer prizes for excellence IN other stu
dies than that ofgrammar ? Arithmetic,
which includes the higher mathematics
and algebra, if il does not excel, at least
ranks with grammar in importance.
There is no knowing how much better
arithrneticians would graduate from
the High School if prizes were offered
to the two, one a boy and the other
girl who would excel in studying it :?
Then again, if prizes stimulate the
scholars to be better grammarians and
better arithmeticians, in the same man
ner they would stimulate the study of
photography, reading, writing and draw
ing. But where are the prizes to come
from, we are asked? We would answer
this by a counter question. Are there
not more public spirited citizens who
possess abundant means, and who take
sufficient interest in our public schools
and education, who would follow the
example of Mr.. Adams ard give them
selves the pleasure of seeing extra ef-
forts put forth by nearly hundred pu.
pills to obtain prize offered by them
for exeelling in some particular branch
of study?
In be towing the Adams prize it is
difficult to tell which, the one that re-
ceives the prize or the one who gives
it, is the happiest. mr.. Adams has
been giving these prizes for quite a
number Of years past, aud it affords him
30 much pleasure that he proposes to
'..luue the custom indefinitely. WEI
hope he may enjoy that pleasure until
he reaches tine age of q centennarian
But is Mr.. Adams to have all this
pleasure? Who will give prizes for
the best trained scholars in arithmetic,
photography, reading and drawing
next year?
If no private citizen will offer, we
would be in favor Of the Board Of Edu
cation doing it, 1t will take but a
small amount Of money, and it would
be we'll expended. The hope of rewar
has wonderful influence upon the
minds of childre =, and a number Of
prizes properly graded amongst first,
second and third best in studies would
be more efficient in advancing scholars
than the services of two or three extra
teachers.

Tho Trade Doalap.

There 10 no good reason why the trade
dollars should not be kept going
amongst merchants and manufacturers
in our city, even if the banks should re-
fuse for the present to take them on de-
posit. II they lacked the ingredients
Of q dollar there would be some reason
for opposition to them, but when they
are known to contain more real silver
than the Bland dollar, the opposition to
them is all . mere matter of specula-
tion, and this furry in relation to them
10 put on foot by pack of New York
speculators, who expect to amass for.
tune by buying them up at eighty five
cents and getting the government to re-
deem them at par value. Once before
there was furry in trade dollars, and
the banks refused to accept them, but it
was not long before they were accepted
again.
We do not know what the result of
the present furry will be, but it is evil
dent there was no cause for it. While
the trade dollars are in circulation we
may expect these combinations to profit
by them, and whenever they are made
they will cause trouble and uneasiness.
The government should long ago have
made arrangements to redeem them, but
in this as in many other respects Con.
gress neglected to do it's duty. The best
remedy for the present is to keep the
trades" going in faith, just as paper
money without intrinsic value circu-
lates. A little patience, a little for.
bearance and little common sense
mixed will bridge over the present diff

Farm Insurance.

The buildings and IeIsonal property OF
farmers are much less liable to be destroyed
by Ere than similar property in cities and
villages. Occasionally fires spread through h
the country as was the case IN Michigan d
year or two ago; but such instances are too
rare 10 be taken into the account of COM

gan WAS not, in fact, fire spreading from
one farm 10 another, but a forest fire,
which incidentally took such farm build

while the supposed insurance becomes
worthless when II is most needed. There
can be no doubt that farmers are and have
been taxed much too heavily for insurance
in proportions TO their risks. The expert

proves this. From the reports of their
secretarles we learn that while the rate is
only fifty cents per hundred dollars for
five years as compared with sixty to sew
enty-five cents per hundred for three
years charged by stock companies. yet the
Grange compsnles are constantly sccumu-

companies axe only the best risks; that Is,
none except members of the order can be

The Pillow sham.

OF course, pillow sham starched so
stiff it will stand alone, is not a very
nice thing for a man to jam his head
against when he crawls into bed. But
there IL no question but what woman
can find a thousand and one reasons
why the pillow sham should be perpet-
uated AS thing OF beauty. The beau
tiiul, clean, snowy white pillow shams,
looming up at the head OF the bed, and
standing alone, look very pretty, and
the lady of the house Is greatly pleased
with them. The men folks also tird
them very handy to keep the hair oil
of the p lows, SO their wives will not
complain about their pillows being all
creased oyer with OIL. Men can escape
ali hard feelings liable to be engendered,
by neglectiDg to take off the shams
when retiring, and decking out the love
" linen and iiDe ace, used III manuf@ct-
uring the shams. with choice and frag-
rant hair oil. And when he gets tired
of having his ears sawed off, 10y coming
in contact with the stiff linen, and his
cheek worn raw 10y the starch and lace,
he can gently slide the shams TO the
foot of the bed and jam his feet against
them to keep them from getting up IL
the night and walking all over HIM.
Even the most energetic pillow sham
will lose Its energy and vital force aftel
being stamped and crumpled at the foot
of the bed under mans feet. The
pillow sham is not in any ones way, tc
TO any great extent; the men can gel
along with them and the women can't
get along without them, SO the pillow
sham will not be obliged to go.

southern Cotton MILLS,

Mr. Carl BOck, the Swedish traveller
has recently returned from an adventur
Gus trip into Siam, and has visited many
districts where no European has previously
penetrated. In spite OF the cordial pro.
tecuon offered by the King, and His Ma.
iesty's command that Mr. BocK shoulc car
ry the royal standard of Siam, the white
elephant flag, the traveller met with great
opposition in various parts of the country
The inhabitants were not impressed with
sight of a white elephant flag, perhaps
because they had no idea OF the importance
attached 10 such national emblem. in
fortunately, they showed theiI dislike by
destroying large portion of the natural
history collection which he had accumula-
ted.
