THE CITY PARK FENCES.

The subject of the removal Of the high
fences around the public parks in this
city, as in all other progressive communi-
ties is constantly attracting attention, and
Colonel Wilson, the new Commissioner of
Public Buildings and Grounds, has re-
Gently been made the subject of attack
for his reported advocacy of the removal
of the fences.
In justice to Colonel Wilson it must be
said that he has not taken any position on
this question.
There are no funds available for the re-
moval of the fences, and it has been de-
cided that authority from Congress is
necessary to take this step; besides this,
there is undoubtedly great difference of
opinion on the subject.
Colonel Rockwell, careful and pains.
taking student of all matters pertaining to
the beauty and protection of the parks,
strongly advocated the removal of the
high fences, while so good citizen as
Mr.. w. w. Corcoran opposed such action
with equal earnestness.
In the face of these facts, Colonel Will
son, just entering upon the duties of his
responsible position, has seen no reason to
iuht oluSS III lHc COlllIONcISy, anu
modestly assumed that his personal opin-
ion about it is not an important considera-
ton.
He takes charge of the parks with the
democratic and sound idea that they are
public property; that their province is to
give health, pleasure and rest to the peo-
pie, and that the popular verdict rather
than the dictum of an official should con-
troll their management. He will carefully
study all questions pertaining to these
much-prized and delightful reservations,
and his action will always be in conform
ity with the wishes of those who have the
best interests of the people and the parks
at heart and in accordance with what
seem to be the predominant and expressed
wishes of those who have the best right tc

LOGAN AND THE spOILs.

The report that Senator Logan will OPP
pose the confirmation of Postmaster Judd
of Chicago is not credited by the NeUS Of
that city. To use its own language the
report requires some mastication before
it can be swallowed"
1t is not believed in Washington that
Logan is gong to oppose anybody's con-
firmation simply for personal spite or in
a mere spirit of captious antagonism to
the Administration.
The Illinois Senator is good deal of
a partisan, and, sometimes very often
sive one, but he has no high moral
scruples against the spoils system. In
fact, he rather likes it, and is credited
with having II supreme contempt no.
only for Republicans who stand in OBJ.
sequious waiting for Democratic crumbs,
but more especially for those who wan
to crowd in and get a seat at the first
table.
Were General Logan President once,
he would, no doubt, give points in the
distribution of patronage that would
startle even the ghost of General Jackson
fom its propriety.

Mrs, Bayard and Her Illness.

General II. Snowden Andrews and Mrs.
Andrews, sister to Mrs. Bayard, have
been in Wilmington, near at hand to Mrs.
Bayard since Saturday. Mrs. Andrews
was at Mt. Desert Island, and was tele-
graphed by her husband to come to Will
mington. Mrs. Bayard and Mrs. Andrews
are the only living children of the late
Josiah Lee the Baltimore banker, and in
herited all the large wealth left by their
father in consequence of the death of the
other children.
Colonel r. S, Rhett is their trustee for
the property left them by their fathers
will, having been appointed trustee on the
death of f.. Wyatt Blanchard, several
years ago. Mrs. Bayard is lady of in
telligence and agreeable manners. She
has been an invalid for some years. On
returning to her Delaware home from
Washington the past spring she felt 50
much stronger that she walked from Will
mington to her residence, which she had
not been able to do for year or more,
though no great distance. She soon, how
ever, grew worse from an affection of the
liver with which she suffers Mrs,
Bayard has quite a large family of child
rem. One of the daughters is the wife of
Mr.. Warren, prominent lawyer of Bos-
ton, Mass Baltimore sun.

The san francisco Mint.

Says the San Francisco correspondent
of the New York Tribune:
Judge Lawton, the new Mint Superin-
tendent, has been more than week at his
home III Alameda, yet he has escaped
nearly all interviews and place-hunters.
He has nearly two hundred offices in his
gift, many of which are filled by women
and none subject to civil service rules.
He declares his appointment was a com
plete surprise, and was due to the fact
that he was an old resident of Albany
and strong personal friend of Mr.. Man
ming. His selection was q bitter dsap-
pointment to the nephew of Vice President
Hendricks, who was the sole candidate
for the place and who regarded his APP
pointment as so certain that he had made
frequent visits to the Mint inspected its
workings, decided on desk and chair
which suited him best, and even allowed
several women friends to come here from
distant parts of the State in order to be
ready to take Office when his credentials
should arrive. To say that he was
broken up by LawDn's appointment
would be putting it mildly"
The Washington critic., 1885-07-14

The result of the interview held yester-
cay in a semi-official way by United States
Treasurer Jordan, with number of New
York bankers, seems 10 have been that
the banks Of that city will advance goll
to the Government TO the extent Of
$l0000,000 or $20000,000, if necessary, or,
what is the same thing, furnish their Gus
toners with gold instead of silver certif-
Gates for the payment Of customs duties,
in order to prevent possible reduction of
the gold in the Treasury below the legal
reserve, and thereby necessitate a Vir-
tually silver basis of payments by the
Government. Mr.. Jordan informed the
members of the Clearing g-House Associa-
ton that he did not come before them to
make any such request but simply to ac-
quaint them with the nature of the situa-
ton, that they could take such action as it
might seem to warrant, all with view Of
