Mrs. Christian ZeIlc, aged Sixty.three

use her own language, she had "tried all

advised her, as the only alternative from
death, to have the leg amputated below

intolerable itching sensation, which only

made death her daily wish. She could
not sleep or rest. On March Al, this

England's Asiatic Stride.

One more stride eastward to the confines
to that unknown land on the frontiers of
western China is the most recent step that
England is preparing TO make,
The road to China must be kept open !!
What revelation to the markets of the
world that announcement makes. For the
last century Europe has been knocking at
the front doors of the Celestial Land at
Hong Kong, Canton, Foo Choo; the great
commercial nations of the world have sent
their fleets laden with all the products of
civilization to China seaports, vainly attemp-
ting to establish market. Chinese pre-
judice and conservatism has hampered, inter
fered, and practically blocked any material
advantage in that direction. What an
finitesimal part of the trade and commerce
that may be acquired with that swarmng
population of 5OO,OOOOOO souls exists
Really nothing at all. But now England is
attempting to reach those millions of
beings by new route, and will soon be
clattering for admission at the back door of
the Flowery Land. 1t may be possible that
trade is easier accomplished from the land
side than by the sea ports. From north
eastern Hindostan, by Farther India to the
Chinese frontier there have existed from time
immemoral regular trade and caravan
routes. By these roads the myriads of
China and the myriads of India exchanged
and bartered goods. The long route however
passes through an unknown land. Little as
geographers of our day know of the Congo,
or the Yukon or the Amazon, less still is
known of that terra incognite stretching
through the extremes of eastern Thbet as
they touch upon the estern frontiers of Chi
ma proper. The extensive territory included
there is variously described as wild deserts
steppes inhabited by semi-nomads conceding
allegiance to the Grand Lama of Thbet or
the Chinese authorities only as circumstances
may suit them. They exist mostly however
by robbery aud plunder, for which the
mountain fastuesses, which form character

Bayard Taylor.

To certain extent the memory Of Bay
ard Taylor is held in some repute in this
neighborhood, and it would perhaps be an
over harsh criticism to apply the scriptural
epigram here that ga prophet is not with
out honor, save in his own country"
But some local mark, monument or mem
orial is necessary for that great American
writer and poet in the place that gave him
birth. That spot is in such close proximity
to our city Of Wilmington that our citizens
will be looked upon by the world as fitting
custodians in the responsibility of the per-
petuation of his memory.
Kennett Square, the biIth place of Bayard
Taylor, is really only an environ Of Will
mington. Ours is the nearest city to it of
any Dimensions, its people. Its farmers do
their business here True, that the spot is
over the line, in Pennsylvania. But that is
only au accident of the surveyors tape line.
Wilmington is Bayard Taylor's city and none
of our citizens nor the people of Pennsylvan-
ia could make assertions OF historical incon-
gruity were statue of the great man erec-
ted in front of our Court House or City Hall
We have around Us some very fine gran
tie pillars, raised to the memory of our citi-
zens. These are men however who as a rule
have shone only as private individuals.
Bayard Taylor's fame is of world wide
renown. We should cherish the memory
it is eutitled above all Others of this locality
to public monument. 1t is right and prop
er that the friends and neighbors of this
great man recognize it as their duty to raise
some monument to his name.
The Wilmingtonian., 1885-11-21
Delaware College,

The editor of the Delaware College Reuieio
seem to have got into some sort of tangle
with their neighbors down state in regard to
an opinion upon the present status of the
college.
No such explanation as has been given
should have been needed. All Delaware is
loyalty glad to see its university progress
The well-wishers ofDelaware College can be
found all over the state. In these columns we
have at former time favored the idea of
removing the college to Wilmington. But
whatever the location, our state college is at
all times entitled to the warmest support of
the citizens of the metropolis of the state.
If the mountain wont go to Mahomet,
Mahomet must go to the mountain so, as the
college declines to come and locate in Will
mington, at our whistle, we can with philoso-
phic adaptability and worthy precedent offer
our devoirs at the distant secluded shrine of
classic Newark.
In this connection appropriate reference
may be made to certain facts which we
think affect the college. There are large
sums of money expended, and annually alb
straeted (no other term so exactly suits)
from the school appropriation for the alleged
purpose of endowing some of our more ad-
vanced public school scholars with what is
understood as High School education. Let
us ask by what right or title is the citizens
money applied to this special purpose. 1t
was never contemplated that the common
school fund should be applied in that way.
To do this is entirely illegal. There is no
warrant in this state or any other throughout
the land that this fund be used for any other
purpose than decent common school edu-
cation
Higher schools exist in the land, in our
state, such as Delaware college whose pro-
vince it is to look after those who desire a
higher and extended education. These pub
lie High Schools are an intrusion and an
exaction upon the taxpayers. Is any meas
urable percentage of the children OF our
citizens advantaged by the institution of the
High School, or has the child of the average
citizen the opportunity or the inclination
even to advantage by it?
The answer is too well understood. The
state does not contemplate higher education
for her children. Any appropriation there.
fore for that purpose is plain and direct
misappropration. Were there any practi-
cal advantage derived from the High School
system by which the state aud general soeie-
The Wilmingtonian., 1885-11-21

ty were helped perhap' we would not in
weigh SO strongly against it. But a cursory
glance teaches us that the high school grad
uate, as graduate, is worthless as self
supporting system. If the state school mon
ey be applied in any way as sequel to
common school education, a consistent ap
plcation of the theory upon which the school
tax itself was initiated would demand that
it be used for the practical purpose of teach
ing our young people trades, handicrafts or
something in the direction of developing
them into self-supporting systems.
But all this may appear long way off
from touching the interests of Delaware
College-the point is this, that if any Of onr
young graduates of the common school de-
sire higher education let them HE them off
to Newark where at the state college they
will find full and comp tent tuition at a
most moderate rate, which their parents can
honestly pay for and abstain from further
trenching upon public fund which should
never have been applied in the way it is at
present.
