The works of the Christiana Iron
Company, on Christiana avenue near the
South Side works Of the Lobdell Car
Wheel Company, have shut down,
depression and great competition being
the main cause of the closing. The mills
were built In 1878 but were not started
at that timt. They remained idle until
about three years aago, and nothing has
been done there during the past month.
The compapy manufactured iron plates
and blooms. By the closing Of the work 8
about 65 men are deprived OF employment.
George G. Lobdell was president Of the
company, John Huxley secretary and
James Meiley Of Lebanon, Pa, treasurer.

A set OF oompssS-adj justing buoys are
needed on the Delaware, so that the new
ships built st Philadelphia, Chester and
Wilmington need not be obliged to 60
down TO the Breskwster to adjust their
oompasses. These buoys should be
located In the vicinity Of Bombay

and in such close proximity to the

could be erected to assist in the work.
We think II the Delaware ship builders

would petition the Federal government
for compass station, 1t could be secured
without much difficulty. Much valuable

which might be obviated II a station was

A BLOW AT CARPET BAG.
RULE.

The bill requiring the Governor of
any Territory to be a resident of the
same for at least two years preceding
his appointment a. its Governor,
passed the House day before yester-
day. 1t was opposed by the Repub-
licans and supported by the Demo.
cratic majority. Delegate Maginnis
stood among the most ardent support
ers of the measure. The objection
urged against it by the Republicans,
Was that it would limit the right of
Presidential appointments. The fact
that it was but simply a measure of
justice to the people of the Terrific
ries seems to haye had no weight with
Republican members. They viewed
it from one stand point, that of its
effect upon the patronage of the
President. W. entertain no
hope the bill will PASS the
Senate. That body is Republican,
and will adult of no infringe
ment upon the prerogatives of the
President. While the latter appoints
Governors to Territories they are
generally named by Senators.
Governorships are among the list
of high prizes bestowed upon faith
full political allies for services rem
dered. The passage of this bill
would shorten the list. This is not
among the objects and aims of the
Republican party. 1t would rather
add to the list than to lessen it. The
Democratic House, however, is actu-
ated by higher and a purer motive.
Ii would eliminate from the present
svstt m Of Territorial government
one OF its most Objectionable features.
We refer to the practice of the ad-
ministration of foistiug upon the
people of the Territories carpet bag
governors; men who have no knowl-
edge of the extent, the resources
or the industries of the country
they are sent to, and who have no
acquaintance with nor sympathy for
the people whom they are called up
on to govern. The Democrats in the
House have placed themselves upon
the record as opposed to ca pet-bag
rule of Territories. Democrats ~ tue
Territories are proud Of the fact.
They have long advocated this meas
ure. A Republican Senate and a Re-
publican President stand in The way
OF the fruition Of their hopes. Will
they yield to the right and pei NIT
the bill to become q law? We hope
so, but fear they will not.

situation critical. Business is aus

the Mexican senate has passed to a

III VOTE.

It must be conceded that the final
outcome of that colored convention
which was held at Pittsburg some
time ago is not wholly creditable to
the colored people. 1t seems now
evident that the negro votes, espec-
tally those at the South, where they
form so large a part of the Republi-
can PARTY, intend to follow the advice
OF their organ, published in New
York, which is in plain English to
vote for the party that will best pro-
vide for them. The Detroit Plain
dealer, another negro organ, un-
blushingly makes the following clear
announcement: "If a black mans
vote is worth having it is worth re-
specting. The colored vote is about
twenty-five per cent, of the Republi.
cans voting strength, and We shall
do our best to make that twenty-five
per cent. bring its highest value"
This is a threat that if the Repub>
licans do not give them a fair pro-
portion of the places, such as police
positions. if nothing better, the vote
is for sale to the highest bidder. The
negroes have seen that where the
Republican party had the power to
favor them they have only used them
for the benefit of themselves, as
Malone did. when he could, in Vir-
ginia. Some of the Southern papers
now fear that the negro vote is
about to become a mere mercantile
commodity and will be sold for
money at every election, which
would be demoralizing to both
political parties. There is, no doubt,
as the Savannah Nesos says, that
the colored people will immensely
better their condition by ceasing to
he the political enemies of the domi-
nant party at the South" The
records OF the courts, and especially
the efforts the Southern States are
making to educate the negroes, are
evidence that the party in power,
the Democratic party, is willing to do
that it can to advance the best
interests of the colored people, and it
Is equally evident that it is the only
party in that section which a assist
them.

CRAZY QUILT POLITICIANS.

Young women who have plenty o
time on their hands are fond of max
; ing what ere called "crazy quilts.'
They gather scraps of all sorts of ma
terial of irregular shapes, and then
! proceed to match them and sew them
together ready for quilting. The
surface of the quilt when completed
presents a variety of colors and
of eccentric forms. The labor OF
making these odd pieces fit each
other is by no means trifling, and
taxes the ingenuity Of the indus
trious seamstress.
A young lady in Pennsylvania has
recently lost her reason through
working on one of these crazy quilts.
BEFORE half of it was completed her
brain was effected and everything
she saw seemed to take fantastic
shapes. She is under a DOCTORS care
and the quilt has been destroyed.
Her physician says that the trouble
resulted from attempting to match
all sorts of conflicting shapes and
that i. the young lady had been con-
tent with making a quilt out of
square pieces of an equal size, easily
matched, she would have preserved
her reason and secured a warm bed
covering for next winter.
We commend this incident to the
consideration of our Republi-
can friends, who r endeavoring to
make q covering for the torn,
mangled and bleeding remains of
their party In this county. Each
holds a different view in regard to
he manner in which 1t should be
lone. They cannot agree and the
hing they call a covering that will
embrace the factions of the party
ooks very much like a political crazy
Iuilt. The surface Is uneven. the
