Campaign Oratory.

When the members of the Young Mems
Republican Club engaged the services of the
blind orator, Mr.. West, to extol the merits
of Mr.. Blaine and Protection, they were
doubtless prepared to believe that genuine
treat for lovers of eloquence and the repub-
lican cause was in store for all who would
take the trouble to attend. Fourteen hun
dred citizens viewed the matter in this light,
and, by general consent, listened to some
lucid and able arguments. But the effect
was greatly marred by two campaign anec-
dotes, decidedly profane in tendency, with
which Mr.. West sought to enlist the sympa-
thy of the gallery gods, and which were by
no means to the taste of many respectable
Republicans in the audience One of these,
minister of religion, has since stated to
us that if the cause of republicanism is to
be advanced at this cost, he would rather
become Democrat or anything else. Mr..
Blaine cannot afford to have his praises
hymned By lips that descend to summon
profane anecdotes to the aid Of oratory.

on Saturday night, and a solitary constable
preserves the peace without the slightest
difficulty. The colored men, who formerly in
vested no small share of their money in rum,
now purchase clothes and necessaries, and
farmers who lost the services of their hands
at harvest time when every hour was pre-
cious have no trouble now to get in their
crops. OF course it is far easier to prevent
the illicit sale OF liquor in open county dis
tricts than in populous towns, and the active
lives of country people are such as tend to
sober habits, but the time may yet come
when the residents in the more populous
districts Of New Castle County may rise up
to demand that the dcmoralizing tendencies
of the bottle shall be removed from their

RiOting at Newark.

The Morning Nesos makes good point
when it alludes to the Saturday night brawl
at Newark and suggests that local option is
the proper remedy. We do not believe that
New Castle County has yet been educated
up to demand for prohibition, but the
tendency of popular feeling has progressed
so far as to protest against addition to the
number. of gin mills at present in existence,
and the indications are that many licenses
hitherto renewed without difficulty may be
refused if proper evidence can be produced
that the holders of such licenses are abusing
the dangerous privilege afforded them by the
law. 1t is only necessary to 70 a few miles
into Cecil County, Maryland, to see the in dis.
putable proofs that where local option reigns
there peace and order reign also. A few
years ago Chesapeake City enjoyed an unen
viable reputation for Saturday night row.

An Enterprising Corporation.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad man
ayers have recently devised an excellent
plan to promote the building Of manufactor-
les and the cultivation Of land along the
lines Of the road. This plan is mainly the
offspring of Mr., Robert Garrett's prolific
brain, and is Of itself sufficient evidence OF
his rare executive ability.-The company
offers to transport at half-freight rates all
household effects and all materials to be
used in building dwellings or factories along
the lines of the road. Workmen employed
to erect such buildings will be charged only
half-fare during such engagement. The
first occupants Of all such dwellings will
have free passage for themselves and fam
lilies to take possession, and a very favorable
commutation of fare thereafter. Freetrans-
portation of marketing and of articles not
bulky in character will be allowed on all
passenger trains. Stations, switches, tele-
graph and express offices will be established
at all points SO so5n as needed. And there
are numerous special Inducements offered to
manufacturing corporations, land and build
ing associations, and to individuals who
contemplate expending large sums in con
structon or improvement. All the details
Of this proposal are printed in clear and
business-like terms, and there can be no
question that the plan will add greatly to
the resources and usefulness of this best
managed of all railroads,

Z ANGLING NOTES.

Septs6 ber is the best month in the year
for ths angler, and reports from the creeks
and rivers of New Castle county and the
adjacent counties Of other states give prom-s.
Use of plenty OF sport ior the skilful angler.
Bass are becoming somewhat wary, their
favorite holes and feeding places having
been '.spotted'' and fished till the more
ehterpIfsing Of the fish have either been
baskcted or scared away. This is particu-
larly trne of the waters in the immediate
vicinity of Wilmington, but further afield
good s. ort may be had. At Chadd's Ford
there is a fine "pitch,'' about quarter Of
mile below the railroad depot of the Will
mington and Northern, on the north side of
the creek Close by is small run in which
supply of mnpows may be netted without
difficulty. The pitch referred to is a deep
eddy close to the bank in the middle of
which is huge tree stump. The bass run
quite heavy and one fisherman, who was
''broken away" three times in single after
noon, thinks they must be kindred to the
levathan which swallowed up JONAH Dur
ing the hot hours of the day the bass will
freely take fly (preferablya bright green
caterpillar or palmer) dibbled on the sur
face of the water under the trees,
But the best sport this month is to be had
with the club OF fall-fish, which abound in
the Brandywine and the Red Clay creek.
The capture Of basket full of these hand
some, hard-fghting fish is an easy matter if
the angler goes about it in the proper way
Get on the deep side of the stream if possi-
BILE; use fine tackle and keep out of sight.
Take pound or SO of cheese, the coarser
and ranker the better. Crumbe a portion
fine in the hand and cast it in the water now
and again as you move along down the
stream, Let your hook be bated with a
large piece of cheese, the size of small
lma-bean, squeezed tight on, and floating
down about foot and half or two feet
below your float. The small grains Of
cheese attract the club, and when the larger
mouthful comes drifting innocently down
the temptation is irresistible. It is easy to
cover three or four miles of water in a day,
and the sport is both SIRE and exciting.
AT Wooddale station on the Baltimore
and Philadelphia road there is about mile
and half Of water in which fall-fish (chub)
are very numerous and average three to the
pound. Suckers are plentiful in the neigh
borb9od Of Hook -ssrn, especially in the dis
used Kaolin pits,
Mr. Daniel Spruance, of tile city, who has
been recently fishing in the lower part Vt
Delaware Bay says, the Grabbing at the
Breakwater is Il caution, and that fishing all
along the New Jersey shore and at Bombay
Hook is excellent
About 100 invitations have been issued
for the Morning News Editorial Fishing
Excursion to the Ship John Light on Mon
day next. A good days sport is confidently
anticipated.

County and State Election.

So much time and attention has been
tics have not had the attention which their
Importance merits. To-day the Democrats
will nominate their Levy Court Commits
soner and candidates for the Legislature
IL might be we'll for the Democrats to
remember that they, as a party, cannot
afford to make any mistakes in their work
to-day. An active and prominent worker
in the Democratic party remarked to rep
resentative of THE WILMINGToNIAN this
week that 'the party is already freighted
with as much of load as it can possibly
carry, and if the balance of the ticket is not
made with especial reference to the fitness
of the candidates that the battle in New
Castle county will be lost"
In making nominations for the Legisla-
ture the temperance folks must not be ruth
lessly jostled by, because this element will
have a potential following at the November
ISSUE The time has passed when men who
are constantly beastly DRINK can be elected
to positions of trust and respectability, and
if such should be able to fuist themselves on
the primaries they will only find that they
are an incubus that will carry the party to
defeat.
Mr.. Charles McCloskey of the Eighth
ward has been invited to be candidate for
the Legislature, and it is safe to assert that
his candidacy would be greeted with very
cordial and general appreciation. Mr.
McCloskey is an honest representative ofthe
church of his choice, and he is the type of a
man that our fellow citizens would delight
to honor. Mr.. McCloskey has never been
an aspirant Tor official recognition, but he
has always been quiet and consistent
Democrat and there is no tangible reason
why he should not only take every vote in
the Democratic party bat should also have
respectable following among his numerous
Republican friends.
Mr.. McCloskey has by his sturdy worth
won the confidence and esteem of our citi.
zens generally, and his nomination to-day
for the Legislature would measurably
strengthen the Democratic ticket

testimony of facts demonstrating that En-
gland, free trade country, sends out n
smaller number of emigrants than many
other European countries in which pro-
tec6ion is very stringent. For example Bel
gium with a heavy tariff has a larger pau
per population than any country on the
continent of Europe. There must of neces-
ity be poverty and low wages in any land
where the area of territory is small in pro
portion to the number Of the inhabitants.
1t is for this reason that we finl whole
streets and blocks Of buildings settled ex-
clnsively by the poor in every large city,
be it New York, London, Philadelphia,
or New Orleans. II is for this reason that
the powers Of Europe are constantly seeking
fresh colonies. Every such colony is a
menace to the future of America For
these colonies not only afford an outlet for
the surplus products Of the mother country,
but are brought under cultivation for pro
ducts which America has hitherto largely
controlled if not altogether monopolized.
A portion of our cotton trade has been per-
manently los; and of late years Russia has
rendered herself nearly self-supplying in
in the matter of petroleum. For years to
come We must import silks and the better
class of wooden goods, but if France can
find an open market for her silk in her pro s.
pectivc colonies, in Madagascar in Algeria, in
China, and England gains permanent foot
hold in Egypt, the advocates of protec-
tion may live to find that they are paying
very dearly for their whistle.

Tropical Mcditations.

When Dir. Mackay wrote his beautiful
poem of the SAlamandrine, embodying the
visionary tenets of the II ,sicrucans, he must
have been moved to the work by an exper-
ience of the class we have some of us sur
vived last week. For the past eight days
the average midday tempature has not fallen
below ninety degrees, and the nocturnal re-
mission has not devared much from the
eightieth degree. We are told of the labled
Saamander, lizard to which the fires of
purgatory would bo mere whif OF balmy
air. But we are not all salamanderS and
last weeks temperature has not half told it's
tale ~
The amount of m ,isturc evdp ,rated by
the persistent heating Of the eartli's surface
night and day to u temperature of ninety
degrees can only result in the accumulation
in the atmosphere of immense masses of
acqueous vapor, which become visible as
the temperature falls in the shape of storm
clouds. The longer continued and the more
intense the heat, the greater the violence
OF the reaction. Before the balance of ma
ture can be restored by the return of this
moisture to the Earth, electrical disturb
anccs Of the grandest character must be
looked for. Mountains discharge the rain
clouds gradually; in islands the balance is
retored by steady persistent rainfall at GER
tain seasons, lasting for weeks and months.
But on continents the long continued pre-
valence Of sultry weather is apt 10 be follow
ed by terrible storms, of the coming of
which we have already had premonitlons.
The accompanying table exhibits at a
glance the maximum temperatures observed
in this city from Thursday the 4th inst to

that the highest figures do not agree with

MIR. TatnalI,s New Picture.

Wilmington's gifted artist, II. L. Tatnall,
has just completed an exquisite picture
which he considers the best production he
has yet brought forth from his studio. 1t is
to be placed on exhibition at once.
A representative of this journal was fav-
ored with private view of the picture as it
stood in nearly finished state On the easel.
The view is taken from point on the Ana
lomink Creek, Monroe County, Pa, not far
from the Delaware W ater Gap. In the fore
ground is trout pool bordered by loose
stones, washed up by the overflow of cascade
just above. The waters of the pool escape
by a ripple in which the transparency of the
water is beautifully given. The cold blue
tone of the sky is reflected on the face Of the
miniature cataract, which at this season is
barely sufficient to cover the surface of the
moss-grown rocks below In the middle
distance thick growth of hemlooks and
mass of shade. The general tone of the fore
ground is rich and warm; of the sky cold,
but the greenish gray of the middle distance
| and the reflected light Of the cataract bring
the whole picture into perfect harmony
The trees are masterpiece of foliage paint
ing. Mr.. Tatnall will send the work to b,
exhibited at the Inaugural Opening Of th,
New Galleries in Broadway, New York.

DOWN THE BAY.

Elk Sheriff Clark made last Monday gala
day for the citizens of New Castle county.
by half-past six on the morning of that day
railroad avenue between Market and French
streets was a sweltering mass of surging
humanity. At seven o'clnck ten cars, so
packed that even standing room on the plat
forms was at premium, moved out Of the
station and in fifteen minutes the wharf at
the eastern terminus of the w. & N. r. r..
was reached, where the steamer Republic
was in waiting for its human freight. The
day was grand and the exhilarating breeze
from the bay and ocean so modified the
temperature that no one ever complained of
the heat which caused so much discomfort
to those who remained at home. Every
profession and about every shade of business
interests were represented at tile excursion
and every one seemed delighted that Sheriff
Clark had given such a grand opportunity
for so much rational enjoyment. The only
unpleasant incident of the day was the
unhappy fate which ruthlessy overlook a
gentleman lately known in railroad circles
the aforesaid gentleman stated that he had
been specially invited by four young ladies'
to accompany them on the excursion which
be gallantly consented to do, but imagine
his feelings upon awakening from brief
nap to find his fayorites parading the deck of
the steamer with newly acquired affinities,
and as those lovely visions were becoming
more and more ind!stinct on the beach the
quondam railroad man was heard to VOW
the VOW ''that the next time he came on an
excursion with four young ladies he would
stay at home" A prominent young barris-
ter from Wilmington who was one of the
excursionists was applied to for solace, who
suggested that the disconsolate bachelor
should have his laccrated affections draped
in mourning for proper period, but he
ceased to be comfurted and when last seen
he was az the PROV of the steamer looking
deep down at the angry pillows, mumuring
as he looked

The Mauch Chunk Excursion.

The six hundred and fifty persons who
patronized Gouley's excursion to Mauch
Chunk on Thursday last enjoyed rare treat
and one which fittingly closed the season.
Mr.. Gouley and L. A. Bower (of the W. N
R. R.) were indefatigable in pro liding for
the comfort of the exculsionists, who ex-
pressed great delight at the splendid scenery
on the road. Owing to the breakdown of a
coal train on the r. & R. line beyond Read
ing, the return was not effected till 1880 a.

no reason why an increase of speed, up to
even 90 miles an hour might not be per-
mitted. There is no desire on the part of
this newspaper to perseeuf, fetter or harrass

Authorities what course will best tend TO
