Mr.. T.. F. ARMSTRONG is men
toned in connection with the Col
lectorship of Internal Revenue for
this District, and his name will no
doubt be presented to the President
with strong backing. Certainly he
would make a most capable and
efficient officer, and his appoint
ment would be hailed with satisfac-
ton in this community.

We BELIEVE an extra Constable
should be appointed for this town,
to preserve the peace, when the oc-
casion demands it. During the past
six months the services of such an
officer was brought into full use, at
different times, through threatened
riots on the part Of Italians and
others. Thefe is plenty of work for
an extra constable to perform here.
There is certain. element in this
town that at times become turbu-
lent. and for this reason an efficient
guardian of the peace should ever
be on the alert. A strong petition
has been forwarded to the Legisla-
ture from this town, asking the APP
pointment of such person. Repre-
sentative Armstrong will use his
best endeavors to have the appoint
ment made, and if tbs made it will
meet with fullest appreciation Of all
peace-loving citizens.

TIE travelling bars Jared badly

the racket. Cecil County should

compelling persons sent there to do
Ger tain kinds of work. 1t would not

CONSIDERABLE talk is being in
dulged in as to where the new Will
mington post Office will be located.
Many think it should be on Market
street, while others are of the oI,in-
ion that the ground on which the
present building is located would be
the most desirable. We hold the
latter view, and think that the new
building should be placed WI. the
old one now is. Certainly the
ground can be purchased for less
money than on Market street. And
then again there is more open
ground here than on Market street.
The new building could be built
with the main entrance on King
street on a'level with the pavement,
thus giving a basement on French
street Of considerable depth, from
which mails could be raised and
lowered by means Of an elevator
Certainly petter site could not be
selected.

for wearing them more than

Altogether out of accord

MEANNEss. Yes, it is i very mean
thing to print such a word, but it
applies to very mean men. Men
that would have the world believe
they are pieces Of perfect clay, are
the very fellows who would pinch a
mosquito if they could corner it.
Are these men you speak Of rich
through their own labors? We
would answer most rarely ever.
Wealth has been forced upon them.
Are there none but rich men mean
Oh, yes, men in moderate circum-
stances and poor men, but you will
find the disease the most virulent
among moderately rich men. o.
course the diamonds sparkle among
the refuse or dross. Still a fellow
has a right to be mean if he wants
to. He pays for his meanness, anc
the title is clear to him of all incum
brance. Our advice is-do not b.
mean when you can help it. NJ
one need take our advice. Both gu
advice and some mean men will bt

THE House of Representatives has
passed the State Board of Agricul-
ture Bill, but reduced the appropri-
alton TO 81 800. The measure is an
excellent one and if it should pass
the Senate and become law, will
be productive of great good. 1t was
urged by Governor Stockley in his
message and no man knows better
than he what will tend to develop
the farming interests of our State.
Similar Boards exist in other States,
and wherever they have been insti-
tuted are highly approved.

A. K. McCLURE's lecture in the
Wilmington Institute, on Saturday
evening last, was the most practical
thing we have ever listened to. He
said the great trouble in America
to-day was that mechanics did not
strive to become masters Of their
trade. The subject Of his discourse
was "Shirtsleeve to shirtslceve." lie
said that too many laboring men
desired to bring one or more of their
sons up as gentlemen; to dress in
good clothes, and amble about the
streets in idlcness, instead of giving
them a good trade. How foolish
such belief. No grander purpose
can be achieved than through hon
est labor. Too many rascals arc
already in the land living on pros
poets" We want men-not dudes
to represent the manhood Of this
country The speaker wanted to
know what such things Gas dudes)
were ever intended for. He said they
could not earn an honest dollar
and would not if they could, be-
cause they would be ashamed to dc

The Senate has passed a resolu-
ton for the appointment of COM
mittce to visit Delaware College for
the purpose of ascertaining what the
College needs in the way of repairs
and Improvements. Some persons
have supposed this movement was
intended to defeat the bill now
pending in the Senate. We do not
think so. DR.. Cooper, who offered
the resolution, and is on the COM
mittee, is a fair man ard would not
resort to such tactics. We have no
doubt that both he and his associ-
ate, Senator Rowe, will report that
every dollar proposed to be appro-
priated is needed and should be
granted at once.

HERE is a problem which is puz-
cling the brains of a good many of
the rank and file among the Demo-
Gratis about this time. If the duties
of the great offices can be learned
in very short period why should
it take the best part of a lifetime to
learn about the smaller ones? And
il members and ex-members of
Congress are so fond of honors and
emoluments why should not their

tic nibble at the public crib? Is not
the sauce upon which the goose
thrives good, also, for the gander?
