Epeclal Meeting.

was held last Saturday afternoon at
Twelfth and Tatnall streets, to investi-
gate the complaints that have been
made in reference to the hlth on the
sand lot, and the consequent foul odors
arising therefrom. These complaints
have been coming from people In the
vicinity for some time, and the charge
has been made that the Street Comm!s
sioner allowed the dirt that hal been
scraped from the cutters to be deposited
on the lot.
I President Conrad being absent. Mr.,
Miller was called to the chair, and az
soon as the meeting was organized, the
petition of the residents in the neigh
borhood, complaining of the annoyance
to which they are subjected, was read
after which William A. Smith, one
of the trainers of the petition, made
statement of their grievances, and
said that since the petition had been
seht to Council the dumping of filth on
the lot sd been stopped. aud some that
WAS already there hauled away. He
also alleged that considerable refuse
matter had been burnt or buried, and
sand that If any one would take
spade and dig down a short distance
they would find that what he said was
true. Mr.. Smith said that all the peo-
Pile wanted was that Council should
have signs put up around the lot,
warning persons against depositine dirt
on 1t under apenalty, and if they would
do that the people would see that any
one violating the order was prosecuted.
Street Commissioner Zebley denied
Mr.. Smiths statements in toto, and
claimed that the smellof which they COM
planned came from dirty alley in the
rear OF their own residences, which ne
had cleaned for them once, although he
had no business TO have it done He
said that persons living in the neigh
borhood had told him that there was
no smell from the lot, and that they
were not annoyed by ii.
In reference to the complaint of the
physicians which had been presents ted
to Council, he said that one who had
signed 1t, had not been able to smell
anything for the last seven years,
while another had such q foul breath
that he was unable to smell anything
else. He called John Carney, one Of
the employees, who it was claimed by
Mr.. Smith had stated the lot was in q
filthy condition, and that he had been
ordered to dump foul dirt on it. Car.
ney denied say ing anything ofthe kind,
and asserted that he never knew Of
load of filthy dirt being deposited
there.
Nr. Speakman gave notice that at
some future meeting of Council he
would introduce an ordinance, pro-
hibiting the dumping of dirt ON the lot.
This, caused some discussion, after
which, Ion motion of Mr.. Farrell, 1t was
resolved to place signs around the lot,
warning persons against depositing any
dirt or rubbish there. Council then
adjourned to meet at the City Hall to-
morrow evening.

A Needful Explanation.

1t must have occurred to many readers Of
weekly newspapers published in the present
day that they see the same subjects, treated
in the same style, and described in identical
words, type, headlines Sc, in half dozen
different papers issued in different cities on
the same day. This is explained BY the fict
that there are companies established in the
great cities which undertake to supply all
or nearly all the matter required to fill a
newspaper of any size, the said matter being
furnished in stereotype plates on any subject
desired. In some cases whole pages of
newspapers are thus filled up, credit being
taken for special articles which are not
contributed by the staff of the paper at ali.
We desire to point out that all the matter
which appears in THE WuMINGToN1AN is
written, selected and prepared for publica-
tion by our own staff it is set up in type by
our own compositors and every special
article appearing in our columns is the 5ona
tide work of our own contributions.
Our readers will not fail to sec that
although by using stereotype matter we
could furnish much larger amount of mis-.
cellaneous items at less expense than we
are now incurrlpg, they would lose the
advantage Of careful selection adopted to
local wants and local tastes. Nothing
appears in THE WILMrNaroNIAN which
does not recommend itself either as being a
question of the day or as contributing spec.
ial information on points concerning which
there appears to be lack of information in
other journals.

A Word in Season.

Now that the children in our public
schools are taking their vacation is a fit
time for the sanitary Committee of the
Board of Education to attend to the much
needed work Of improving the sanitary
arrangements, which are in many cases far
from being up to the proper standard.
Teachers and pupils alike have complained
of the offensive odors from priyvics located
in immediate proximity to the class rooms,
and there has been good deal of prcven-
tible sickness traceable to the same cause.
1t would be difficult and dangerous to set
about extensive sanitary labors when the
children have returned to the schools;
the tearing up of Closets floors, pipes and
saturated woodwork in o heated season
might provoke a serious outbreak of typhoid,
diphtheria, or choleraic diarrhma. The
Board owe it to the parents of the children
to see that the little ones are not compelled
to sit in crowded apartments exposed ia
mephtic odors during the heated season.
We are confident that the expense of the
necessary repairs and improvements in the
cloacal department would lie ehccrfully
borne, in consideration of the benefit that
would Immediately accrue.

while enacted for the purpose of preventing

thing else to corrupt morality, inidelity and

niquitous statutes are directed will not now
ong continue to endure patiently laws so

Mr.. Blaine's plight is worse, by far, than
that of the man between two stools. II he
makes the support OF Irish Catholics basis
of his calculations, -ae will infallibly give
umbrage to an immense number Of his Prot
estant supporters. AS the Philadelphia Times
puts it-"If it could be made apparent that
one hundred thousand catholics of Demo-
cratic faith were about to vote for Blaine on
the distinct Catholic issue, five times one
hundred thousand Protestants of Republi-
can faith would vote against Blaine on the
same distinct issue.
As for the miscegenation question,
which the colored supporters of Mr.. Blaine
will not fail to press on his attention, we
should be inclined to doubt if he cares to
pose before the public in a fresh round of
characters. The ''tattoed man" was big
pill for republicans to swallow. How will
they bear to look on the man from Maine
blackened with the burnt-cork of miscegen-
alton, and with sprig of shamrock and
shilleagh as the emblens of his devotion to
the cause of the sons of Erin?

the line between personal respect for Il rolit-
zeal opponent and political duty-"While
we earnestly support the candidate of oui
party for President of United States, we
wonld not detract one jot or little from tine
well-earned fame OF the distinguished gen
tleman who honors the opposition by bear
ing its standard" The Buffalo Express, one
of the ablest and most independent Repul
lican journals of New York, thus answers
the sc ,ndal-mongers of the party-"The
people of Buffalo have known Mr.. Cleveland
as one of their worthiest citizens, one OF
the manifest meu-faithful to his clients,
faithful to his friends faithful to every pub
lie trust"
In this connection we would state that
William Hayes Ward, editor of the Iadepend-
ent together with several other independent
Republicans, lately visited Buffalo to form
ally investigate the charges Of immortality
against Governor Cleveland. They spent
seve"ol days at the wor&, going to the bot
tom of the matter and Tonight they say
that the charges are monstrous calumnies.
They are preparing full report, which will
be given to the press at an early date
The Philadelphia Times i'll discussing the
mission of the campaign scanda-monger
tersely says:
OF course, such reckless food from tine
sluices of campaign scandal, started by an OBJ
scure and characterless sensational newspa-
per, can't hurt Grover Cleveland, nor would
it be felt in the contest but for the mean-
ness and COW ardice nf party organs that
studiously circulate and indorse the scandal
while deceitfully protesting to deprecate it.
They don't publish the scandals with big
display headlines and give all the disgusting
details, but they give the scandals indf-
nitely with mock horror, and decetfully
regret the necessity of noticing public state
merits which can't be ignored.
The assault of the dal-monger against
Cleveland fell Still-born in the campaign
Whatever shade Of truth there is about
which to weave the malicious campaign lie,
the ialsity of the story in ev,ry material
respect affecting the character of the man,
is admitted by friend and foe in the COM
munity whore the facts are known. In like
manner, the scandal monger's assault against
Blaine will fall still born in the campaign.
The attempt TO invade, even by mnuendo
the domestic circle of Blaine, is simply
atroeous, and it is more atrocious than the
Cleveland scandal, because Blame has wife
and sons and daughters to be wounded by
the poisoned shaft Of the campaign liar,
while Cleveland has no household to weep
over wanton defamation. Nor is it any
excuse FOR invading the domestic life of
Blaine, that the social life of Cleveland has
been first atrociously assailed.
Such is the view of campaign scandals
that will be taken by the intelligent and
fair-mnded voters of all parties, and the
party that indulges least in it, will be likely
to command the most votes in November.

Tho Baseball Craze.

1t is one Of the signs of the times that the
community is undergoing healthy reaction
from the baseball craze. True there are
the usual gatherings of idle youth around
the sporting establishments where baseball
news is retaied, but the circumstance that
the promoters of the Wilmington and Read
ing Active baseball mines have been com
PEELED to appeal for support through the
columns of the newspapers affords salts
factory indication that baseball does not
rlonopolize the public mind to the extent
threatened year ago.
We do not fer moment contend that the
game of baseball is not manly, healthy and
proper sport for our young men-quite the
contrary. 1t should be the aim of the
patrons of field sports to encourage the
youths of the city to go out in the fields and
exercise their muscles on the diamond to the
fullest of their power. What we do strike
to mere gambling transaction, i'll which
pools are formed and bets made en- the sue
ness of individual mines by young men who
have no money to lose, and who sacrifice
their prospects in life, their employers time
and their own health by lounging about in
cigar stores or on the stand at base ball
matches, regardless d evera athing but the
success of their ventures or tic exploits o.
their favorite players.
1t is not in Wilmington alone that the
evils of gambling on baseball matches have
noticed even more strongly in Baltimore. A
vast amount of time that might be profitably
devoted to self-improvement is wasted by
young men, in all positions of life, simply in
following the results of matches played by
men who have no other interest in the com.
petition than those incident to their own
pecuniary advantage, and the possible shar
ing of the wagers made in their favor.
Unless professional baseball playing il
| freed from its surroundings of gambling anG
cigar store loafing, it will soon cease tt
attract the patronage of the better class o
citizens, and sink to the level of prize-fight
ing, cocking-mains and similar ignobl
| sports.

PRICE TWO CENTS.

narrowncss Of mind and physical want. An
American historian observes, far more cor
rectly than the German philosopher :
Mutual intercourse creates mutual depend
ence, mutual gain, and mutual friendship
May this continue for MS and onr children,
for our Eastern brethren and their pos
terity."
l. is very natural and commendable
desire, that of warding off from America
the poverty and misery of European factory
operatives !; but if high protective tariff
were an adequate defence against these
evils, they would certainly not have made
their way into Europe, almost all the states
of which have surrounded themselves for
these two hundred years with Chinese wall
of duties, 1t is true that ior the moment
the competition Of foreign vendcIs may
hereby be prevented or at least impeded /;
but while protecting the producers, men
quite forget the unprotected consumers
equally entitled to regard, and create
within the country itself All artificial
competition, which at length depresses
prices and wages, in spite of all the
prohibitions against foreign goods. When
it is represented as the right and duty
of me government to guald rs subjects by a
high protective tariff, the same rights and
duties cannot be denied to any other gov
ernment and thus by means of custom-laws
they all set themselves in q useless counter
pOise to each other.
One word more, and that in father refer
encc TO the cry of protectionist newspapers
that for the well-being of the people it is
necessary to keep wages high, and exclude
the competition of the too cheap and beggarly
labor of Europe In putting forward this
argument the protection organs studiously
ignore the intrinsic and extriusic advanta-
ges of this country as regards the position
OF the laboring man. In the first place the
United States have an unequaled facility of
water communication, splendid water power,
mines of coal of unreasonable extent and
exceedingly cheap in the vicinity of the
factories. Food, land and cotton are cheap.
All these are internal or intrinsic advanta-
ges. Extrinsically, the American laborer is
not liable to military service--the real cause
of the vast immigration of Germans TO our
shores. He has not to pay millions for the
support of puppet royalty, he has not to
pension too prolific royal family or to
maintain war establishment in time of
peace. In fact the European laborer re-
quires protection far more urgently than his
American cousin, and in view Of the super
ior advantages in protective resources enjoy
ed by this country the European might well
claim that he was entitled 10 still higher
protective duties. If this doctrine were put
in operation, the staunehrst advocate of a
high tariff might be disposed to confess that
| we are protected too much.
