Council Proceedings.

AT the last session of the city Council Mr..
McKenna introduced the following resolu-
tions:
RESOLVED. That no bills shall hereafter
be paid until they be first read in Council
and referred to the proper committees, and
all bills shall be properly itemized before
they be presented TO Council.
To the average mind this resolution is
apparently founded upon good, sound busi-
ness principles and just why the gag law
should have been applied to Mr.. McKenna
is question which Immediately interests
all of our citizens When Mr.. Farrell stated
that ''McKenna, "wasn't capable to form
the phraseology in the resolution" it did
not in any manner compromise Mr.. McKen-
mas reputation for sturdy integrity neither
res the quotation proclaim MI. Farrell to
be "a model of grammatical com leteness..
Messrs. Murray and McKenna may not be
as ''loity in speech" as some OF their collea-
gues but their conscientious regard for theil
civic duties has never been questioned and
the people will be pleased to know why they
were so peremptorily choked down Th rs
day evening whilst in the direct line of tue
sworn duty.

A Brilliant Young LAWYER.

Such an incident as that that happened
in the United States Court here, last week,
when Levi G. Bird Esq, arose, and in words
of the most fiattering encomium, expressed
himself as unable to repress lis feelings Of
just qualification at the brilliant effort of the
young lawyer Andrew E. Sauborn Esq,
whose maiden speech at the bar had just
been delivered such an incident is one
that in its different bearings sheds pleas
ing effect in all directions.
Mr.. Bird referred to ''the admirable effort
Of his colleague with surprise and immense
qualification" ''For an initial speech it is
the best have ever heard at the bar.'
These are warm words of commeudation-
and they themselves come doubly valuable,
from an orator as he is who dropped them.
Mr.. Saubom was admitted TO the bar at
the last September Term. He is a gradu-
ate of Lafayette College, Easton, Pa, where
he graduated in classical course in 's1.
He is native of Leipsic, Del.
This maiden effort in the forensic field was
made by Mr.. Sanborn as junior counsel to
Levi G. Bird Esq, in the Kettner homicide
case in the criminal court last week.
Mr.. Sanborn was on his feet one hour and
ten minutes, and during that long period
retained the closest attention of all in the
court room.
There is one legitimate inference to be
drawn from the fact, viz, whatever oratori-
cal powers this Young lawyer may be endow-
ed, he must have given the case the closest
and most industrious attention beforehand.
This is deduction drawn from the incident
which is probably not the least fattering
feature of it.

The Tyranny of Fashion.

1t is a strange reflection should we stop
to consider moment, with what contrasted
feelings the world of fashion, and indeed the
world outside it looks upon the accounts
given in the daily press Of the preparations
made for Miss Astors wedding, ''the great
social event of the season."
"Society papers," to use that vulgar and
detestable phrase, are filled, ad nausedm
with detailed accounts of Worth evening
dresses, Worth dinner dresses, Worth recep
ton dresses, Kedfern travelling dresses, all
from Paris, costing thousands of dollars!
1t is said that expensive preparations ar,
being made for the reception to which sew
eral thousand Invitations have been issued,
and many plominent society people from
abroad will be present.
What an opportunity Miss Astor has lost
of rebuklng the vicious exactions of Dalnt
Fashion.
That lady's unassaable position in the
world of fashion is such that her fiat as t.
any ultra extravaganza ON the occasion
would have proved the healthiest moral re-
buke to frivolous expenditure.
| To many thousands of the ''poor but gen.
teel," who find these demands upon them
an exaction, what a relisf it would have
been!
The example set her by this notable wed,
ding, in its phase Of profigate display serv
ng as re-enactment and confirmation O
the Law of Fashion, inflicting certain re
quirements upon all her votaries, thu
thoughtlesss, unscrupulcus devotees of th'
most hollow, ,remorseless and contemplate o
all human gods, it is at this point of re-affir
nation of example, the opportunity of al
emphatic moral example far-reaching to th
very depths of social life, reaching and re
flecting with autocratic power and penetra
ton to the most obscure social cond
, tions of existence, 1t is aJ this juncture tina
the opportunity for goud, for the reforma
tion of vicious social tendencies has bee
lost sight of.

er from the eminent prospect of the gallows
His career was somewhat checkered and
since 1882, with single exception, he had
retired from political life.
Personally Mr.. Harrington was warm
hearted, courteous and social; these qualities,
combined with brilliant requirements made
him prominent and welcome parsonage
everywhere.
In the tribute of respect paid him by his
brethren of the Kent County bar the words
of eulogy expressed on that occasion state,
with the greatest fidelity, the standing

lows-

Trade Dollar Incubus.

Here in Wilmington, according to the
Hon. Charles B. Lore there are over s45, 900
# trade dollars slowed away, in the vaults
of Wilmington bankers. This is the money
of Wilmington business men, an appreciable
part of their capital, taken away from active
service and hidden, useless, drawing no in
terest, and of no service to its UN ners.
This money is placed i'll the bank vaults
merely for seeunty's sake, for the trade
dollar is not exchangeable for one hundred
cents. The merchants of Wilmington when
receiving this silver gave in exchange full
dollars worth Of value in goods for each
trade dollar they took in. And now they
are patiently awaiting the moment
when the fiat shall go forth from Congress
that it be legal tender for one hundred
cents.
Its legalzation as currency is not opposed
by the House, where such bill would have
no difficulty in passing at any moment. The
trouble is in the Senate, with the Senate
Finance Committee who decline even to re-
port the bill.
There is ab authorized monthly purchase
Of 81, 600, 900 of bullion, for conversion into
silver dollars. The gold value, which is the
standard, of bullion's worth of silver is
about 234 grains of that metal. Now were
the trade dollars bought cent per cent by
the treasury officials, the government would
lose the difference between 1884 grains OF
silver and 220, the quantity contained in the
trade dollar. The aversion of the Senate
Finance Committee to the Recommendation
that the tIade dollar be bought by the gov
ernment either to be included in the month
ly 81, 900, 900 purchase or as distinctive
purchase, is to be ascribed to the fac of
the loss to the government of the margin Of
difference.
1t may be remembered that the trade dol
| lar had limited existence Of two or three
years of legal teuder status when its value
in that respect was declared changed. The
ridiculous status of the Bland dollar some
grains less hne, yet bearing the legal teIdel
stamp, is at once apparent.
Tnere is NJ Indication of any change dis
cernble in the lnind of the senate upon this
question. Its present position app,a to be
one in which external influences such as thu
force of public sentiment brought incessant
ly to bear upon the legislators of the upper
House is the only chance for relief in view
1t is an outrage that people should be vic
timized any longer. Here is a coin ISSUED
by government itself, refused recognition b.
that government aud left on the hands o
the people.
l. is evident, that all that is to be don
in the matter will come from a popula
movement aud that the weight of publ
opin ON constantly reiterated is the onl
hope the citizens of Wilmington or any othe
place can indulge in when looking towar
any p. aspect OF being recouped.

and scraping, the retrendhments and "obl-
cations" to their tradedhen, that hundreds
of respectable families who claim to be Sin
society" must incur in order to keep up ap-
pearances!
What a sarcasm all tljs isl what of moral
| b ,alth is there in such an existence! what a
lie life is.
Many of these" "gentesr' families are incur
ring debts they probably never can meet.
They do not intend to meet them, the trades
people with whom they dial are in the hol-
low plot, charging these butterflies of fashion
outrageous prices, well satisfied with the
receipt of what they cad percentage on
the debt One or two seasons more of such
life at Washington OF Newport and these
second rate society people suddenly disap-
pear, they drop out of existence. Their old
acquaintance forget them, and the uniortun-
ates also wish to be forgotten.
What becomes of them. Where do they
go? WHAT will be their future method OF
obtaining livelihood? 1t can hardly be ex-
pected that people who have already COM
promised themselves to themselves, who
have lost all selfrespect in the experience
of such career as they have passed through,
could be very scrupulous as to the manner
of gaining their daily sustenance. 1t is pos
sibe that these castaways form the nucleus
of the mDst vicious class in metropolitan
life! With a certain degree of worldly
knowledge, intelligence, and address the
sons and daughters are ready tools for all
the miscellaneous possibilities Of vice that
are presented dailyin large city.
They are totally untitled for honest Every
day work. They decry virtue in theory be-
cause Of their present position on the thresn-
hold of vice.
Utterly lost in the economy of useful cti-
zenship they sneer at integrity and constitute
one of the chief mcnaces to the formation of
pure, heallhfu, social structure, in the
community. Their moral wreck may be as
cribed to the education of their earlier asso-
Citations.
Jean Paul Richter says that the thought
we give to the opinion of Others, that wish
TO be supposed better han we are, is th
daily poison of oul lives 1t is never SO
true as in the case of people of moderate
means making daily effort to ape the ap-
pearance and style in outward show of those
who have better filled purses.

reception must pinch ard scrape afterwards

THE b. AND O. PRESIDENT.
The Conservative Policy of the II. and o.
II. II. TO be Maintained.

At special meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company last Thursday, Robert Garrett,
vice-president of the company, was unani-
mously elected president. Robert Spencer,
second vice-president, was elected vice-presi-
dent, and Thomas NJ. King, general superin-
tendent of the Pittsburg division of the road,
was elected second vice-president. Tie
board also elected Bradford Dunham gener-
al manager of the entire Baltimore and Ohio
systems, and William NJ. Clements general
superintendent ofits main stem and branches.
1t also confirmed G.. ]. Foreacre as general
superintendent of the Trans-Ohio divisions.
The nomination of Mr.. Garrett to the
presidency by Judge Dobbin was seconded
in complimentary terms by members of the
board, representing stockholders, city and
states interests. On being informed of his
election Mr.. Garrett said he accepted the
Office with full appreciation of the high
honor and deep sense of the responsible
ties of the position. 1t would be his aim to
adhere closely to the traditional policy of
the company, to which is due its great sue
cess in the past, and In carrying out that
policy, relying upon the directors and Off
GERS of the company for advice, assistance
and active cooperation. He should not
shrink from the responsibilities which at
tached to the Office, nor hesitate to indulge
the hope that the success of the road in the
future may be as marked as in the past.
A resolution was offered fixing the salary
of the president at $4,000 per aunum but
this amount was declined by Mr.. Garrett
and at his request his salary remains the
same as when he filled the Office of vice
president.

Death of Richard Harrington, Esq

Death OF Richard Harrington, Esq.
The announcement of the demise of Rich
ard Harrington, Esq, at Dover on Tuesday,
though for the last few days not unexpect-
feeling of suddenness.
His death at the early age of 81 years is a
matter of extreme regret to numerous cir
Gle of friends and admirers.
Mr.. Harrington had already attain ed
prominence in his profession withouta paral-
lell in the history of Delaware. His lemalk k
able mental endowments had enabled him,
in the race oflife, to glide easily ahead Of
those of his own age. In few years of
semi-political experience he occupied var
| ioUs positions, in all of which he was
conspicuous for the ability and success with
which he accomplished whatever that fell to
his hand to do.
He was brilliant speaker, to remarkable
| mental powers he added the magnetism OF
graphic illustration. His brilliancy fascna-
! ted his audience while his earnestness OF
assumption captured Their acquiescence to
his pleadings.
His natural tastes for a vigorous public
LIE soon plunged him into the political
arena. 1t was in this direction perhaps
! where he became most conspicuous.
He served his party with vigor aud indus
try, and soon rose Gin 1882 to the pronli-
nence of chairman of the Republican state
central committee.
When in active political service he was
an antagonist that his opponents justly fear
ed. Aggressive, vigorous, and never lack
ing resource, he was continuously on the

The Bad Effects of omice-Holding.

The result of the election being no longer
in doubt, the Democratic charge upon the
Offices may now begin without further delay.
That it will be vigorous and with few
breaches in the liue goes without saying.
Happily for the country it will be largely a
local issue-a matter to be settled in each
community. The leIkships in the depart
ments, and in the minor Offices in the larger
custom houses and post offices, are under the
control of the Civil Service Commission, and
as Mr.. Cleveland has been the consistent
friend of the new system the proportions of
changes will be small.
The number of men who will conclude
that they have special fitness for the post
offices, the consular posts, the custom houses
and the internal revenue service will be no
doubt surprise even to the committees that
know them SO we'll. Persons who are ac-
custoned t go through the world earning
their da ly bread by their daily toll will
wonder at the sudden development of tai
ent for transactiug the public business.
Men who have failed in everything they have
ever undertaken, and who had neither the
industry nor the prudence to do anything
for themselves, will be found pushing them
selves to the trout with more energy than
they ever showed before, each more anxious
than the other to conduct the business of the
government.
| II the more sensible among the persons
would only look about them at the men who
have been wrecked in small offices during
during the past quarter of century they
would learn much to their own advantage.
They would see that in the majority of cases
under the esent system offices have abso-
lutely ruined men. The uncertainty of ten
ure, the habits of dependence and obsequi-
onsness almost inseparable from small Off
ces have combined to take the spirit out of
men quite as successfully as the almshouse
or street begging. The most sensible thing
that sensible men can do is to keep out of
the great ofice-seeking scramble-(Phila-
delphia Times.)

"Tell the Truth"

At it was written that ''the wind should
be tempered to the shorh lamb" so the in
temperate post-eection utterances of James
G. Blaine will not only nollitiy the pangs of
defeat, but they will also elicit involuntary
congratulations that the country has been
saved from an administration dominated by
such a man.
Forty-eight hours after the closing of the
