IMMIGRATION.

We have seldom taken more pleasure
in disqualification ola short paragraph
than we experienced last week in sett-
ing forth the earnest, meaning words
O. Cover or Stockley in favor of law
creating a Board of Immigration for
the State of Delaware. No doubt the
Governor has arrived at the better
conclusion in this matter to make a
Board instead of one Commissioner,
for to-day the task will not be a light
one to do full justice to every section
of the State, and guard with equal
care the interests of those who are
citizens and those who may wish to
become such Many manufacturers
could locate within our borders with
profit 10 themselves, to our agriculture,
to our present enterprises and to our
State; but as between New Castle and
Sussex, the variation between the diff
ferent kinds of manufactures that
would be likely to succeed is as great
as between the extremes of our con-
tenent and no one commissioner will
do them all full justice. Between the
modes Of agriculture, and between the
prices ofland the same great difference
exists. Therefore any one who would
undertake to successfully locate enter
prises throughout the entire State,
must deal with elements as various as
the conditions within our territory.
1t is evident therefore that success in
this direction will soonest he accom-
plished to the satisfaction of the State
by creating a Board of Immigration
wherein there shall be a representa-
tive of each county having thorough
knowledge of the needs of the section,
and capable of good judgement as to
the probable success of any proposed
within his territory.
As a matter of expense, it matters
but little whether the State invests in
one good man, or three, TO do this
work. In a very short time the results
of their work will more than pay all
the salaries and expenses and roll on
accumulating to the prosperity of our
With only one man,
she must accomplish less work than
with three, and thus delay the result.

Few matters deserve more care than
the selection Of help to sight, because
if the glasses are not scientifically cor
rect, the injury done to the sight will
probably be irreparable; and on the
other hand unless the lenses are prop
erly adjusted to the vision, the wearer
will risk becoming unable to see with
out them altogether.

and consequently do not tire the eye,
but produce a clear and distinct vision

quent change is unnecessary. With a
view Of adjusting the lenses to the re-
quirements of the eye, the sight is
measured by new system, which en-
ables anyone to fit accurately, and
which has by experience proved the
most unerring guide.
1t is now clearly proved that by the
use of scientifically manufactured
spectacles, impaired sight may to some
extent be restored and in all cases de
parting vision may be checked, while,
as is well known the ordinary specta-
cles bring about a contrary effect. The

LINED EGGS.

For lined eggs the New York and Baltimore
smarkets have generally been the most promi
nent, but the demand is gradually increasing il
our market from year to year. find that with
n the asst few years there has been a vast i'm
provement in lining eggs, both in the West ant
Canada. In regard to the quality Of lined eggs
I am satisfied from my own experience that the
New York State lined eggs take the lead every
easOn. They have the preference with our
trade, and always sell more readily than West.
ern, and invariably command a little better
price. There are some few brands Of Western
lined which are better than the general run, and
these usually sell within about cent Of the price
Of York State. We have even exported con.
siderable Western lined, which have given good
satisfaction, but it is only on rare occasions that
this can be done. and then only when they are
so low here that there is profit in them for the
shipper. and that is when we have very mild
and open winter here, and severe cold weather
in Europe. especially in France, from whence
the largest supply Of fresh eggs is obtain, d.
Fresh eggs we could never export and have a
margin, as there is seldom any wide range of
prices between this and the European markets.
In TACT the yOlks OF fresh eggs are imported 10
this country in such large quantities by the cask.
that 1t would astonish even our largest Western
eggshippers. These imported yolksa are sold by
measure to large bakeries and morocco dressers.
In the fall when the trade is about fairly started
on lined eggs, and the buyers are once satisfied
with the qualities Of any certain brand they will
generally want the same brand the whole
season. and if they should happen to get any
thing different, and it is not up to the standard
hey generally get discouraged at once. and it
then becomes hard matter to again sell them
even the best brand that comes on the mar
ket.

eggs stored In the fall 10 eases and put on the
market during December and ,nuaTy will
generally be of h,ile better quality. and are sell
dom effected from the pasteboard. Spring eggs
should be stored in April and May. and such
when stored in the East are generally marketed
in June and July, aud sell at about the same
rate as fresh eggs. For fall storing, eggs that are
gathered from she latter part Of July up to the
middle Of September should be used, and should
be marketed before the 18th Of January. I
know that some Western shippers store their
eggs in the spring and hold them over for fall
trade, and from my experience Of handling some
Of them find that about two shipments out Of
every three do not give satisfaction because from
the length Of time they are stored great many
eggs become green and musty, and these are
hard and troublesome to dispose Of at any price,
and are returned over and over again. I know
that some shippers do not put spring eggs in the
ieehouse to carry over for fall trade, but they
pickle them, and only store their fall eggs in the
icehouse. This, believe myself, is the best
plan, because eggs that are properly picked in
the spring are far better than those stored in the
icehouse in the spring, when taken ont for fail
trade.
IcE-HOUsE EGGS.
There are a great many ice.house eggs in
market at present which were stored in the
spring, and are entirely unfit for use, even the
common class bakeries can not use them. and
the consequence is the most Of them must finally
be turned over to the morocco dresser, and this
entails heavy loss to the shipper. I, therefore.
would not advise any one 10 store eggs in the ice
house, in the spring, for the purpose of carrying
them over until the fall trade opens, for I have
not seen the ice-house that is so adapted as to
make the eggs give good satisfaction, no matter
how cold it may be. Il is the case this season.
at the present time, that a great many Western
ieehOuse eggs are cOmirg into market that have
been stored since spring, and it is my firm
opinion that the shippers will loose on them, to
certain extent. It is Just this class Of eggs that
affect the general market materially, because
even when they are sold they are almost in
varlably returned, in short time, because the
consumers and buyers get so discouraged that
ithey even quit using eggs for a while, and these
poor eggs have always a tendency to check the
consumption and the sale of even good, fresh
stock.

EDUCATION.

We commend to the careful perusal
Ofour readers what Governor Stockley
has to say about Education. Progress
i've citizens have occasion to take heart
from his manly position in thismatter.
His words in behalf of the cOlored race
are all the more important, because
coming from the spokesman of that
political party which has been hither-
to thought incapable ofsympathy with
the improvement Of the negro. His
words are the more bold and manly,
because uttered to Democrats who owe
nothing of their political success to
favors from colored voters. If from
the ruling party, our whole people
may receive such liberal legislation in
school matters as is herein suggested,
there will be no longer any room left
for one Of the strongest arguments
used last fall against the Democrats.
The Governor Says:
In the matter of education, most
cheerfully concur in the suggestions of
my predecessor as TO the manner of
increasing the School Fund. whereby |
the free school system would be rem
dered more efficient, and earnestly /
recommend that such ample appro-
priatiOns be made as will promote and

Mr.. EDIToRs; Cooperation in the Grange is

the business arm Of our organization is founded.

selfish. The Grange to be a success cannot af-

benefited. Therefore in all our Grange move.
ments, looking to the advantage OF the members
Of our organization, must be upon the mutual or
cooperative principle. In the establishment Of
any business enterprise, capital must be had and
therefore that capital must be paid for its use.
And for the still further insuring against great
loss in case Of Ia failure cf any enterprise in which
our members choose to engage, the first thing to
be done is to secure charter from our Courts or
our Legislature. Then each individual member
can take Of the stock such AMOUNTS as they may
think they can afford to lose, IN case the enter
prise should not prove a success. The success
or failure depends, just like any other undertake
ing, upon the attention given by the parties en-
gagged in the enterprise. It must be understood |
that no business, no matter how profitable, can
be a success unless the parties who are to look |
after its interests dotheir full duty. II there are
not men interested in the object, who will under
take to look after the interests, then the start
never should be made. Neither should the par

Republicans Using All Possible Efforts to
Expedite Legislation.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.--It was rumored
about the Capitol to-day that an under
standing existed between the Republican
leaders of the two houses to the effect that if
the Senate can succeed in completing its
tariff bill and securing its passage before ad-
journment tomorrow night, the Republi-
cans will muster their full strength on Mon
cay and endeavor to pass the Senate bill
through the House under suspension of the
rules. 1t Is hardly possible, however, that
this can be done, or even that the Senate will
be allowed by the Democrats to pass its bill
within the next week, as there is no previous
question known to the rules of the
Senate. There is in that body,
unfortunately, no parliamentary method of
limiting debate, save by unanimous consent,
and when gentlemen like Mr.. Beck will per-
sist in talking so much upon matters about
which they seem to know so little, there is
small ground to hope forexpeditious action.
Even the most sanguine members of the
House admit tonight that it is utterly out
of the question to expect to pass the ways
and means committees bill; but so long as
the people of the country seem to believe
that because the Republicans have a
majority, no matter how small, they can
secure the enactment of any proposed legis-
lation, and that they are responsible for its
failure, it is right and proper that they
should exhaust every parliamentary method
~ - II.
view an attempt will be made on Monday to
pass under suspension of the rules. the
legislative appropriation bill. If this can
be done, twill give to the consideration of
the tariff bill an extra week. which other

the appropriation bill.

Extraordinary Proceedings in the Cougar
Mandler Case.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE Feb. 1.-The time to-day in the
Cougar Mandler suit was taken up with le-
gal arguments. Judge Gould reached a de-
cision last night on the question of admit
ting Mayor McGinley's testimony concern
ing the charge that a friend of Mr.. Wallace
called on him on the morning after Nov. 10
and requested the Mayor to quash any pro-
ceedings, if such came up against him, for
actions on the night referred
to. This evidence was objected
to by the plaintiff, on the gound that
Mr. Wallace's intercednS friend was an agent
for Mrs. Cougar. The judge this morning ad-
mitted the testimony, but before any ques-
tions could be put to the Mayor, council for
the defen Sc made a motion to set aside the
jury on the ground of the conduct of parties
to the complaint, and the conduct of two
OF the jury. The defendants affidavit
charged that, in Wallaces squabble with a
reporter, he had undertaken to influence the
jury after adjournment of court by address
ing them and proclamng certain statements
which had bearing OIL witness of the de-
fense as a lie.
1t was further charged, and affidavits
given to substantiate it, that two jurymen,
James Shipley and John Obenchain, had
made certain remarks prior to their being
called, which the defendant claimed were
opinions against him. Shipley had said:
1--WE will catch little fish first, and then go
for the big" Obenchan had said that
he would rather give S25 to convict the de-
fendant than assist him in the defense" The
question was hotly argued by counsel
During the argument, when Colonel Wilson,
for the plaintiff, was speaking, and when he
referred to the attempt to take the case
out ofsthe courts just as all the smut had
been poured in against the woman, Mrs
Cougar cried piteOusly Her women friends
did not try to restrain her tears. Colonel
Wilson spoke on this question until late this
evening, when Judge Gould ruled that the
jury was good and case good. Adjournment
was taken until Monday, when the exam
nation of Mayor Mckinley will be ta-
ken up.
