Some of our citizens made an attempt to
get an extra train run from Salemto Woods
town last Thursday night, that our people
might go to hear Mabee and English, the
temperance lecturers, and return same
night, but, as enough tickets could not be
sold to warrant the ehartering of a train,
the project was abandoned. -Regiater.
The Register is unfortunate in the source
whence it proeures its information. There
was a successful effort to get the extra
train. The Railroad Company were will
ing to run it If fifty tickets were sold.
Those having the matter in charge secured
without any trouble tile names of persons
who pledged for lifty-tive tickets, and the
train would have been run and probably
a hundred people from neighb0rhood
would have availed themselves Of the OPP
p~ortunity to hear Mabee and English,
had not a dispatch been received from
them after noon on Thursday that there
would be no meeting that night for the
general public, Notwithstanding meetings
had been advertised for every evening dur
ing the week. The reason was. it WAS in
tended to organize a reform club on that
evening. The MONITOR gave in its local
columns last week the fact that the train
had been secured and the reason it did not
run.

Tite Bicycle.

The bicycle, as a means of travel, has
steadily grown in favor in the last few
years. and seems destined to hold it's own.
The first machine of the modern pattern
owned in Salem county of which we have
any record. was taken to Salem in March,
1880, by C.. O. Haight, then ticket agent at
Glassboro railroad station. Clarence Y.
Bitter. seeing the machine, said to his father
that he believed be could ride it. Mr..
Bitter jokingly told his son that if he would
ride it he would buy it for him. The chal-
lenge was accepted in good earnest, and
repairing to a suitable place. after a little
instruction from Mr.. Haight, Bitter mount
ed the wheel, and rode in triumph past his
fathers store. The latter was as good as
his word and counted ont the cash. and
Haight went home without his wheel.
Joseph Wiley, of Salem. procured a
wheel a few weeks later, and in the fall +.
+. Lewis. then teaching at Auburn. obtain
ed q mount, and now there are thirty or
more in active and satisfactory use in the
county. for purposes of business OF pleas
IRE. or both combined.
Very little complaint is now heard
against the wheels on the score of frighten-
ing horses, and the prejudice against
them is fast dying out, as their practical
utility is every day being demonstrated

We all agree that some steps should
be taken to encourage American Ship
building, and 10 secure to our country
a share Of the carrying trade OF
the world. There are two opinions,
however, about the proper way of ac-
complishing this desirable end. Mr..
Gibbons, who is connected with a lead :
ing shipouilding Arm of our city, and
ought 10 understand what he is talking
about, thinks the end can be best at
tanned by abolishing what he calls our
repressive tariff, " and permitting the
importation Of all kinds of goods with.
out the payment of any tax TO the gov
eminent.
Senator Cameron urges the expe-
diency of affording pscuniary assis stance
TO ali who engage in building or sail
ing vessels, so that they will be placed
On an equal footing if not given an ad.
vantage over other ships that come to
our ports 10 discharge Or TO receive car
goes. The latter plan ia the far more
rational one to accom- plish the object
aimed at. The national treasury /.
well filled with money and it would be
proper to use some of it TO stimulate
our shipbuilders and sailors to greater
EFFORTS to secure a fair portion of tina,
trade which is esteemed no essential n
our prosperity and greatness az Ma.
ton.
BY opening up wider field for the
employment OF labor and capital an i'm.
petus would be given to all branches Of
industry, and the sluggish movements
OF trade be greatly accelerated. At any
rate We would like to roe the plan q,
Senator Cameron, or somewha, SINH.

our people may beplaced on an equality
with Great Britain in that field which
she claims TO outstrip all OF her rivals
We are satisfied that her supremacy can
not be overcome by the free trade syh.
tenn unless the captains and IN. crew.
OF our vessels consent to work AZ
ceedingly low rates, and the ow ners b.
satisfied with extremely small divi

Defeat tho Amendment.

If, as has been reported, an amend.
ment to the Constitution is TO be offered
this session providing for equitable rep
resentation in the Legislature by Sena-
tnrial and Representative districts, then
the present pending amendment giving
New Castle County four more mem
bers of the lower House than either of
the oiher counties should be dropped
by mutual consent. The pending
amendment ia not popular with any
considerable number OF people. 1t il
not what the people should have, neither
Is 1t what they desire, and the more that
is known about IL the fewer friends it
has. Delaware is small STATE, but
her interests are diversified. So much
the more need then TOR district repre-
sentation, as each interest would then
be represented
by district representation, each dis.
trict would have but its own member
to elect, and 1t would elect one identi.
fed with the leading interest If the
districts. For instance, the people OF
Blackblrd Hundred would have no say
as to who should represent the manu-
featuring and business interests OF vii.
nington, and the people OF Whining.
ton would have no say in relation to
the agricultural interests of Blackbird
Hundred. Yet, when the members OF
these different districts stood togethe,
On the floor of the Legislature one
woud be the peer Of the other and 8
community of interests would be hap
PLY conserved
The cry that the pending amend
ment was endorsed at the Noyem he
election should have no weight with
sc nsible men. In the great desire I.
elect either Cleveland or Blaine to tn,
Presidency the amendment was tn.
farthest from their thoughts. If the re
suit OF that contest is TO be taken a
| conclusive, hundreds of Democrats Cd
posed to the amendment voted for it
and hundreds of Republicans in favo
OF 1t voted against it. To use a com
man phrase, the amendment was " no
where" To consider the Democratic
vote in is entirety as vote in favor O
the am ndment would be ..anjust a
TO consider the Republican vote In 1t
entirety as vote against the amend
ment. Now that parry contests ar
out of the way and the people hav
time to think calmly over tn
matter, let the Legislature give us
sensible amendment to the Constitu
ton that will not admit of a divisio
by party lines exclusively.

I.ere.sea 4 NATURALIZATION.


william Dean has written q letter
giving his views Of the opposition TO
the adoption Of the amendment TO the
Constitution, providing for increased
representation Of New Castle County
in the Legislature. He thinks 1t sin
gular that any Democrat should op.
pose said amendment, as 1t was endorsed
by the Democratic STATE Convention,
and hence bound the members Of the
party to support it. II they did not
acQuiesce In the action OF the StsteCon-
vention they shonld have said no before
the election and let the people know
where they stood and what might bs
expected Of them. Intreating VI the
matter Mr.. D. says that the people oil
New Castle County in asking for in.
creased representation, only asked fol
what justly belongs TO them, and
then remarks rather sarcastically: " 1,
may be that for want Of q better school
system in Kent and Sussex Counties
that their people may not be able &c
distinguish what belongs 10 them and
what belongs 70 other people," and ex
presses the hope that the School Super
intendent and his assistant will devots
all their attention to said counties I'M
til their moral perception shall be &c
improved tina. they will accord Il
others their rights.
Again, he refers TO New Castle beinl
In the position Of slave, and hold,
they should accept the proposed in
crease Of representation, with the hops
that their master, Kent and Sussex N ay
eventually get into kind mood, snC
accord what rlghtfully belongs Il
her.
He says he has learned by experience
that the ruling passion OF the people o
Kent and Sussex is love Of office, ant
he suggests that they might be- brough

practiced toward New Castle County
by the citizens Of said county nom ina

| and then filling the offices in Kent and
Sussex with residents OF New Castle
County. He thinks this course would
produce a howl that would eventually
lead TO New Castle getting representa-.
ton according to population. He says
he is one who dares TO pursue this
course, and we believe If the people
would join him the result would be a.
he predicts.
The leaders of the Democratic party
are 700 well satisfied with the crum os
that fall into their mouths 10 adop
said course, and the rank and file woult
| follow their advice as readily az a fiocl
of sheep follow their leader. TIE Re
publicans in State Convention hav
| passed resolutions in favor OF Ispresen
tation according To population, bu
they have thereby gained few votes
and at present are bound hand and foo
by the most tyrannical laws that wer
ever enacted in any Safe in the Union
Mr.. Dean and other independent me-
should join with the Republicans Il
breaking down these laws and Intro
ducing all the reforms needed to ad
vance the welfare OF our people and adj
TO the attractiveness of our State. W
are ready TO cooperate with him ir tn
