WE have almost reached the middle of
March, the Levy Court is in session, and
yet We hear of no general movement To
get those assessed who were returned
as dcllnQuents in 1883. There must be
hundreds Of them i'll the different Hun
drcds, as no particular effort was made
a year az" to pay the taxes of those
who failed to pay their own before the
|drIllIurnt return was made. If the
Republicans have any idea of winning
Ill New Castle County at the next cleo
lIOn they should See to it that these de
lnQuentS are assessed, Without them
We see but very little chance Of success

Much of the time | had but little use

many different remedies that were
highly recommended, but grew worse

The effect of the Rheumatic Syrup
has been truly wonderfully in my case,
and | find, on inquiry, that it is doing
equally as well in every other case
where it is being used. You are at
liberty to use my name as you choose,
as / am very glad to be able to say,

is one of the best medicines on the

vince any one of its wonderful merits.

The Spread of the Cholera.

In spite Of the efforts Of the French
authorities TO prevent Il panic by be-
lifting the progress of the cholera, it
is evidently spreading. 1t has broken
out in Marseilles and Lyons, in Italy,
and at Odessa on the borders of the
Black Sea. 1t will be heard from at
any moment at Paris, then at London
or Liverpool then in New York. Once
in New York its next appearance is
wholly uncertain. 1t is liable to
break out in any one of a score of
cities in direct connection with New
York, more especially those situated
on the lines of through railroad ira
vel. 1t may on any day Of the next
three months be heard Of in Buffalo
or Pittsburgh, Chicago or ST. Louis,
Detroit, Toledo, Toronto, Cleveland
or Cincinnati Before the froSts it is
liable to get firm foothold in this
country ready to break out with adj
ditional violence at the beginning of
next season.
The only safeguard against its be-
coming IN epidemic is cleanliness
clean streets and alleys, cleansod sew.
ers, clean outhouses, clean slaughter
houses, clean cellars, clean bodies,
good drainage, good habits and pure
water. The strictest quarantine, the
best of precautions will not prevent
an occasional case any more than
they will absolutely prevent o''y sum-
mer disease. But decency and clean
illness will avert an epidemic and pre-
vent anything approaching panic,
disturbance in business or interfer-
ence with comfort and pleasure,-Free

When the Council had under dis.

When the Council had under dis.
cussion the question Of directing the
Mayor to issue proclamotions to pro
hibit the use of firecrackers, etc, on
July 4th, one of the Aldermen stated
that it would result only in the addi-
tional expense of printing the pro-
carnations, and the way frecrackers,
rockets, etc, were used on July 18th,
proved that the Alderman was right.
To stop such things is almost an impos-
sibility. To do so would require at
least one policeman to every boy who
had fire cracker.

pany il would appear that the present
quiet is but the lall before the storm,
and it will be but few days now be-
fore something definite will be done by
one or the other of the companies.
Affairs are now so situated that action
by either company will be the signal
for commencement of operations by
not only the companies herein named
but also by numerous private individ-
uals as well as other companies.
Mr.. Schweitzer favored us with a
reading of letter received by him
from President Harris, of the Cream
City Oil and Coal Company of Mil
waukee, which contained $1,000 in
stock which he was instructed to de-
liver to the owner here.
The company is fully organized
with capital stock of 100000, and
differed by well known Milwaukee
capitalists, as follows; President
l.. Harris Treasurer--W. c. Will
liams; Secretary w. j. Turner.
Their stock is now ready for issue
with a large number of shares already
sold.
Mr.. Harris in his letter mentions
the fact that in few days a repre-
sentative of the company will be here
to start business office and look af-
ter the interests of the company and
oversee the work. They have made
leases for land with n. J.. Salisbury
and others and the prospect is good
for almost immediate commencement
Of operations.
The st. Louis & Roscommon Pc
troleum Company are working quiet
ly perfecting their arrangements for
commencing work and state that
whether they secure the present well
or not, will soon have another one
down to the rock. They have 10
stock ready yet for issue, but have ap-
plication for upwards of $4,000 in
st. Louis, Ionia and various other
places throughout the State.
They received letter from the
Cream City Oil Company during the
week inquiring as to whether they
had secured the RoscOmmon Oil Com
pany's well.
From this it will be seen that al.
though no excitement exists, the oil
interest is not yet dead and work now
being done is likely to prove more
lasting and beneficial than that re-
sulting from the biggest kind of
rush or boom. A short time now
will tell what is in store for this sec
tion.-Roscommon News.

Illinois Democratic Tariff Plank.

The Illinois Democratic State Con
vention, nominated Carter Harrison
for Governor, and adopted the follow
ing tariff plank:
We denounce the high protective
tariff maintained for more than twen-
ty years by the Republican party,
substantially as it now exists, and
which is levied upon nearly four
thousand articles, Us n masterpiece of
injustice, inequality and false preten-
COS. 1t has impoverished many indus
tries to subsidize few. 1t prohibits
imports that might purchase the pro-
duets of American labor. 1t has de-
graded American commerce from the
first to an inferior rank on the high
seas. 1t has cut down the sales of
American manufactures at home and
abroad, and depleted the returns of
the American agricultural industry,
followed by half our people. 1t costs
the people five times more than it
produces to the treasury, obstructs
the processes Of production, and
wastes the fruits Of labor; it promotes
fraud, fosters smuggling, enriches dis
honest officials, and bankrupts honest
merchants. We demand that all
Custom House taxation shall be only
for revenue, and, thus, demanding,
the delegates from this State to the
Democratic National Convention to
be held at Chicago the coming week
are hereby instructed to vote as
unit and use their utmost endeavors
in favor of an emphatic declaration
by that body'in favor of a tariff for
revenue only.

The Convention was called to order
yesterday at 1870 7. NJ. Gov. Hub
bard, of Texas, was appointed tenn
porary chairman. A warm debate
took place in regard to unit rule of
New York. Kelley and the Tam
many clique want the unit rule set
aside f; if it is not they threaten to
bolt. General Butler did not appear
at the session. The Convention meets
ut Il o'clock to-day.
The reason why Kelley opposes the
unit rule, is that majority of the
New York delegation arc for Cleve-
land, and under the unit rule the en-
tire vote of the N. Y. delegation goes
for Cleveland.

Boards Mill Burned.

The lumber mill of Jas. Beard d
Co., situated on the beach at Altoona,
was destroyed by fire Monday morn
ing. Nothing from the mill Of ac-
count was saved, and some lumber
and logs adjacent thereto were badly
"scorched." The fire is thought to
have originated in the fire room.
The flames communicated from one
part of the mill building with great
rapidity, and it required the work of
only few brief minutes to envelope
the whole structure in flames. The
loss reaches about $4,000 which is
partially covered by insurance. Mr..
Beard was up from Port Huron the
fore part of the week to witness the
ash-heap, and from parties who claim
to have talked with him regarding
the matter, VIC learn that he will not
rebuild the mill, as the balance of
the firms supply of timber yet to be
cut from about Altoona will hardly
warrant the necessary outlay to re-
build and equip.-Harrisville Review.

The Manufacturers Want Relief.

1t is not from the consumer alone,
it seems, that the demand comes for
tariff reform. The manufacturers
also arc guilty of the same "pestilent
heresy," rs the protectionists call it.
Sixty of the largest manufacturers
and manufacturing firms in New York
and New England have united in a
petition to the National Democratic
Convention to embody in their plat
form the following resolutions passed
at meeting of manufacturers and
merchants held at the Windsor Hotel
last May:
1. The abolition of all duties Oh
raw materials, in order that we may
complete in home and foreign markets
with other manufacturing nations, not
one Of which taxes raw material.
.. The adjustment Of the tariff, so
that manufactures approaching near
est the crude state will pay the lower
rate, and manufacturers that have
further advanced, requiring more skill
and labor, will pay the higher rate of
duties.
In the memorial accompanying
their petition, the petitioners set
forth with great fullness and clearness
the deplorable condition Of the man.
ufacturing industries and commerce
Of the country, the disability under
which the manufacturer labors be-
cause of the tariff, which they call
"a patchwork of bargains" How
can any industry prosper, they ask !,
without an outlet for the surplus ma
turally accommodating in an industrial
country! And how can such an outlet
be had if their first cost is raised fifty
per cent. in..increased cost of coal and
ore and wood and all other raw ma
terials? They denouncc the doc
trine of Congressman Kelley, that,
"as soon rs work or capital has been
expended on the raw material TO bring
it from the soil, etc, it ceases to be
raw material" as a perversion of the
plain meaning of language. Every
reader" they submit, "who has ever
consulted dictionary, knows what
raw materials are. The coal does moi
cease to be raw materials, because il
has been hewn or transported, nor the
ore because it. has been similarly han.
died, nor the wool because it has been
shorn from the sleeps back, or been
washed, nor the fax because it has been
hacked. They only cease to be raw
materials after they have changed
