Boston: Houghton, Miffiin & Co; Portland:
Loring, Short & Harmony A dainty volume
in the Little Classic style, contains the latest
collection of Bret Hartes stories, and in
cludes An Apostle of the Tules, Sarah Walk
er, and A Ship of 40. All that need be said
of these sketches is that they are quite wor-
thy the reputation of their author. There is
the quaintness and originality of conception,
the same mingling Of humor and pathos that
give such fascination to Mr.. Hartes earlier
stories.

No City Park.

In the appropriations made by the
City Council last night, no provision
was made for interest ON $780, 900 park
bonds, authorized by the Legislature at
its late session. This is equivalent to
saying that there is to be no purchase
of city park grounds the coming fiscal
year. This is certainly great mistake
on the part of the City Council II
ever We are to have q park on the
Brandywine, ground for it can never
be purchased cheaper than at the pres.
emit time. There are eighty acres of
variegated land, most of it wooded,
consisting of hills, dales, glens, rocks
and ripping streams, extending from
Van Buren, street, on both sides of the
Brandywine, suitable for nothing else
but park grounds, that can be purchased
at great advantage now and we sneak
advisedly when we say that the Park
Commission was in hopes that the City
Council could have seen its way cleal
TO permit the commission to make tn.
purchase Every year that the purchas,
of these lands is put off, their natura
beauty is marred by depredations upor
tho grounds. Quarrymen are destroy
ing some of the rocky lodges in taking
out building stone, and the vandal oc
casionaliy slips in and cuts down q tire,
or two. Besides this, many of the tree
are dying for want of care and protec
ton. We say again that it is pit,
the City Council could not see its wa,
clear to nave arranged for purchasin,
the grounds referred to, this year.
Daily Republican., 1885-05-29

In THE appropriations made last
night by the City Council for the next
fiscal year, no est mate Of revenue seems
to have been made as in former
years. 1t is true that the most of the
city revenue formerly came from the
Water Department which is now de-
tached from the control of Council, but
still it will be seen in the estimate OF
expenses that $35, 745 interest on water
bonds have been counted rs q part of
the expenses Of the city. 1t has gener-
ally been understood that the revenues
of the Water Department are ample to
pay all the expenses Of that department
including the interest on the water
bonds. This being the case, the ap.
pearance of that item of $685. 45 in the
estimated current expenses Of the city
will appear somewhat out Of place. The
truth Of the matter is, it is deceptive.
1t shows that the city has $685. 45 to
raise that it has not to raise. 1t Is q
part OF the Water Department expenses
and Is to be paid by that department
and should have had no place in the
itemized estimated expenses of the city
the coming year. If this amount is as
sessed and raised by tax it will be twice
paid.

THE Democratic papers are trying
worry hard to make diversion in the
Kepu blican ranks. that they may fill
up the space and slip into power. 1t is
evident that the report of the proceed
ings in the Republican City Executive
meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday
nights have been much distorted and
difference grossly exaggerated. These
meetings are understood to be held with
closed doors, and none but members
are permitted to be present If, through
courtesy. any but members are present,
they are under the seal of their sacred
honor bound to secrecy rs the members
themselves. Under these circumstances
the man who was present and who
would carry a distorted report to q
Democratic paper, would not hesitate to
SKaggerate until there would scarcely
be vestige of truth remaining. Even
our Democratic opponents, though they
may use the Republican tool who would
bs guilty of suoh fragrant breach Of
trust and con ddencs, will be slow to be.
lieve what he may say. Had there
been such an outbreak Of feeling and
temper, il would have shown itself

COUNCILMAN Blake in q letter SAYS
that If tie Lamp Committee of City
Council had given the contract for fur
nishing oil for the city to a Baltimore
company, some thirty cents lamp
would have been saved to the city. This
may all be true, but it will be noticed
that when Mr.. Blake recommends a
friend for oil, he sends them to the
Philadelphia Company that supplies
the city with oil. Why Mr.. Blake
does this he can best answer himself.
GENERALLY when people apply for an ar
ticle, they want the best that is the
cheapest, but here is case where Mr..
Blake recommends friend for oil to a
company that in his letter he rates as
the worst and dearest. Let the voters
OF the Third Ward look out for oil, it is
slippery article and some candidates
for Council are slippery people.

Councilman Baugh's case is not be-
fore the people Of his ward at this cleo
ton only so far Is to show the voters
in general that Democratic Council
men think it is consistent with their
duties to be the sworn agents of the
city, to protect said city in all its in
terests, and at the same time to be the
employed agent of foreign monopoly
shat supplies the city with gasoline oil,
simply because he happens to be chair
men Of the lamp committee that has
cognizance of the lighting Of the city.
Mr.. Baugh's case will come up year
hence for . verdict from the voters of
his ward.
But Mr.. Blake comes up for a ver-
dict from the voters Of the Third ward
ut the election one week, commencing
tomorrow. His case has been argued
and set before the people for their de-
cision. Tho record that he has made
shows that he Is not forgetful Of him
self while looking after the interests Of
the people who pay the taxes. What
are the figures the records show !?
During eleven months of the present
Councilmanic year, Mr.. Blake has at
tended 547 committee meetings, and
has drawn 1918 80 for such attendance.
During the same eleven months of the
previous year under Republican rule,
Mr.. johnson, who was chairman of
the Fire Committee as Mr.. Blake now
is, attended 3O3 committee meetings of
Council, for which he drew Sl5l. so.
Mr.. Blake in that time drew 1921 more
than Mr.. johnson in the same time.
This amount is not alarmingly large, it
is true, but large enough to show the
voters of the Third ward who Mr..
Blake wants to send him back to Coun-
Gil, that a man who looks 80 closely
after the half dollars Of the people,
taxes to divert them int his own
pockets not exactly the kind of rep
resentative that Wilmington needs
most.
Mr.. johnson, between whom and
Mr.. Blake the voters Of the Third ward
are called to choose as representative
OF the ward in Council, while he wa.
in Council might have made as big 8
half dollar record as Mr.. Blake, but hs
had more regard for the interests of the

nally grabbing for half dollar when
ever he saw one.
But there are other records than the
books of the City Council that show
that Mr.. Blake would be good mar
to defeat at the coming election. a
letter from the Pennsylvania Globe GA
Light Company to a citizen of Viii
mington who wanted oil, shows tina
the Recommendation of Mr.. Blake wa
good in that company.
We do not wish to be understood a
even insinuating that Mr.. Blake
word was not as good as his bond any
where, the only question arising bein
why should it be considered ample il
this case, with monopoly that sur
plies Wilmington with oil, and Nj
Blake as a City Councilman, being
contractor on the part of the city fc
that oil, while the Chairman of til
Lamp Committee Is chief agent. o
and half dollars appear to be wofull
mixed in Mr.. Blake's case, so much 81
that the honest voters of the Thir
ward should hesitate on giving M
Blake their votes, until he dissent angl,
