The Every Evening in criticising
Mr.. Pilling's stirring address to the
Republicans of New Castle County,
says that II New Castle County votes
against the constitutional amendment
In the next Legislature Upon the
Republicans OF this county will rest the
responsibility of the death and burial Of
the only chance to obtain a fair repre-
sentation in the State Councils that has
ever been offered u.s." What 10 this
that the Every Evening calls fair :?
Let US zee. 1t Is that eighty-fve
Thousand nsople In New Castle
County shall vote, that they shall
have only fifteen representatives
in the Legislature, while 81, 900 people
In Kent and Sussex Counties shall have
twenty members. That is about the
size of 1t. Is this what our Shipley
street neiehbor calls "a fair represen.
tation?"- 1t remains 10 be seen whether
the people of New Castle County are
prepared to vots themselves inferior TO |
The people Of the lower counties and to |
'orever bar the door against obtaining
air representation thereafter. Not
much they won't.

THE City Council last night very
properly added the weight of its inhu.
ence to the genera! public demand for
q new Post-office in Wilmington. The
main thing wanted now to secure lib
eral appropriation from Congress is to
conciliate Mr.. Randall, chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations, and ask
him not TO visit the sin of Mr.. Lore in
voting for free trade Speaker, upon
the people who really do need new
Post-office. Please hear US, Mr.. Ran

that the Young Mems Republican Club
chose the 9Th of January, the 10th an

this message been delivered 10 Congress at the
beginning OF the last session it is possible that
considerable time foolishIy wasted over The
Morrison bill might have been saved. 1t may
have been want of topic that led to the Nor

topics enough in this message from President
Arthur to last a generation. Should the recom-
mendatlons i'll relation to the Nicaragua canal
be adopted it is 10 be feared that the Panama
canal company will come to grief. The prospect
OF dividends viii appear too nebuous to encour-

10 substitute our commercial marine, TOO there
will follow still further depression among the

eign ship owners which is becoming annually
rcher and richer. But should the Presidents
recommendations in reference to South America
be adopted, we cannot see that any one would

would make very large gains. With regard to

The Washington Monument.

The Washington monument was completed
Saturday afternoon Dec. by setting in place
the marble capstOne and its pyramidal apex of
aluminium. Shortly before O'clock, Colonel
Casey. the government engineer in charge,
and his assistants, proceeded to set the cap
stone, weighing $500 pounds, which was sus-
pended from quadruped of heavy ioists,
supported by platform and towering 40 feet
above them. As soon the capstone was set
the American flag was unfured overhead and
a salute OF q guns was fired in the White
House grounds. The sound of cheers also
came up family from the spectators gathered
around the base of the monument while num-
Der of guests on the 500-foot platform and in
the interior of the monument at that level
spontaneously struck up ''The Star Spangled
Banner" and other patriotic songs. The flag
over the monument foated today from flag
staff the top of which is exactly 600 feet from
the ground, thus displaying the American
colors at the greatest height of construction
ever yet known in the world. The monu-
mebt itself, with its total height of $50 feet, far
eovertops every other structure of human

Hurrah. the seward breezes

Heave up. my lads, the anchor,
Run up the sail again!
Leave to the lubber landsmen
The rail-car and the steed;

And the light house from the sand:
And the scattered pines are waving
Their farewell from the land.

For the homes we leave one sigh.
Ere we take the change and chances
Of the ocean and the SKY.
Hurrah. for the Red Island
With the white cross on its crown
Hurrah. for Meccatina.

Though the mist upon our jackets
In the bitter air congeals,
And our lines wind stiff and SLOWLY
From off the frozen reels.
Though the fog be dark around Us.
And the storm blow high and loud.
We will whistle down the wild wind.
And laugh beneath the cloud.
In the darkness as in daylight,
On the waters as on and,
Gods eye is looking on Us,
And benealh Us is his hand
Death will find Us soon or later
On the deck or in the cot
AGd we cannot meet him better
Than in working out our lot
