The New Market Ordinance.

1t is rumored that new market ordinance
is in preparation and will be presented to
Council at an early date.
1t is presumed that any legislation receiv,
ing the endorsement of City Council will be
in the direction of enactments the tendency
of which will be towards the greatest good
for the greatest number. These are condi-
tions especially demanded in municipal leg
islation of the phase that any such code as
market ordinance may justly contemplate.
Special or class legislstion cannot be con-
sidered in the connection. Repressive legisla-
tion, as in the case of a more stringest action
in regard to the simmer" not come up
under this head The new code in contem-
pation, in its ultimate aim is, or should be
merely for the more thorough protection
and immunity of the citizen from restric-
tions which certain latent conditions, were
they allowed to develop, threaten and whose
outcome plainly is a ge,.eral increase in the
cost of living.
Especially it will be the duty of all citi
zens to watch the actioa of their representa-
tives in Council in regard to this matter. A
free and untrammeled market is sine qua
non in Wilmington.
Another point that may well be borne in
mind in this connection is that any repre-
sentations, made by possible or probable
clique who pose as inimical to the curbstone
market, that the butchers are opposed to il
are entirely untrue The butchers are not
opposed to the farmer exposing his goods
for sale. All that they object to is the free.
dom allowed the 'shinner" to sell meal
under the guise of farmer. And the
butchers quarrel right here is not with the
curbstone market theory, but with Council
itself that is derelict in not protecting hin
in his privileges, or more properly speaking
of allowing the simmer free exercise o
privileges in the streets for which the cit,
butcher is annually mulcted in heavy taxes
The simmer is practically as much butche
as the man behind the stall in any of ou
markets. He does not raise the stock whicl
he sells as meat on the streets.
For the privilege of conducting the busi
ness of a butcher and selling meat not raise
upon their own land the city butchers pay
heavy tax to the city.
Their grievance is that the shinners, VIII
Justly come under that law are not taxed
They are thereby, from their freedom fror
such impost enabled to undersell those VIII
pay the municipal tax.
Did Council see that its officers execut
the law in this direction there would be n
complaint from the butchers and also Il
need for new market code.

direct path of the railway make the proba-
bilities and dangers much greater than were
she at sea- On account Of the necessary
rigidiiy of the cradle structure, the many
thousand square feet Of Superficial resistance,
elevated in full face of the storm would most
probably strain the ship or upset it.
1t is suggested, very telnperately by our
evening contemporary not ''to condemn any
project originating in the mind of a man who
has originated the great jetty system etc.
Captain Eads did not originate the jetty
system, though he modcstly lays claim to a
new Interpretation OF what has existed, as
an engineeing method for the last quarter
of century among European Engineers
when dealing with the d ffc lty of sand
bars or quick sands at harbor mouths
In lauding the Eads project the Scientific
Ame' lean says; '.Tbe promise of an orig-
nal undertaking n,.ay y sid NJ, he 1irect,y
as its author has succeeded or failed in pre-
yious enterprises, and then follows a de.
scription Of the successful Mississippi jetty
undertaking, But, again, how does this
argument apply to De Lesseps and his rec
ord as engineeri And yet the writer of the
diatribe upon the engineering prospects at
Panama prefaces his comments with asser-
tions as to their utter physical impossibility
of accomplishment.
The probable facts are that climatic, me-
teorological, physical and political disabili-
ties are abont equally distributed among
the different isthmian claimants for pub.
lie patronage. ...

Let There be Light.

Few Of the large throng of citizens who
crowded the municipal court room ON Tues
day night last at the Murray inquest could
not but be impressed by the dingy scene
presented. The large room is insuilicently
Illuminated. The chamber presented an
appearance of gloom save in the immediate
vicinity of the Judges dais and the report
ers' table.
Why not introduce an electric light9 II
is probable that it would be cheaper thar
the four miserable gas jets that do question
able service as illuminators.
There is no enactment upon the statutel
that gloom and misery should be perpetuatet
upon citizens whose inherent rights ar,
light and cheeiiness and comfort.

Sis it Poisonous 2"

The Times of this city, which is ever on
the qui ViUe for matter of local interest, asks
the pertinent question, ''Is the yellow color
ing matter poisonous which has been pr
ceptible in our drinking water for the past
four weeks ~ The color of the water has
been very generally attributed to mud, but
the Times conclusively demonstrates that an
absence of'ssdiment in the vessel filled with
water negatives the conclusion that the yell
low tinge IS due to muddy condition, but
it rather gives tangible coloring to the
fact that our citizens have been for weeks
drinking mineral poison. Now, that the
Times has called public attention to the
unpalatable condition of the facts in refer
ence to the water it is hoped that the proper
authorities will institute a proper inquiry
into the merits of the case.

steamship Colon carried out Er (
 maiL for Ceatral and South Amer'cs
 It was private mail, the United States
 PostofEee having no hsnd in it. A
 clerk in the office cf Superintendent,
 Bullsp, on the Canal-street pier, was
 busy all the morning cancelling stamps
 on the stamped en, elopcs. This be di..
 with circular stamp, in red ink, read
 ing. "The Pacific Mail Steamship Co,
 August 20, 1885. Superintendent \
 Oaice." The clerks of business houses
 waited in line with great bundles of
 let.era The csncelling clerk had nc
 weighing scales and the afiixing of th- proper stamps rested with the senders
 Many to make sure, overpaid t,e post age and others added fringe of gum med stamps. The clerk said the com pany took the letters simply to accom- msdate the public and made no profit. The superintendent of foreign mails at the PoStofiice said that tAe reguia, mai for South America was sorvarde, by the way of Kingston. Jamaica He said the Summed stamps affixed t, the letters carried by the Colon repr' - sented so much money thrown away. He felt sure that the postal authorities of Central and South America would im itate the example of Cuba sr q would deny the legitimacy of mai.s carried in this way. The United States would do 50 in case it. mails were brought in a similsr wsy from other countries. Tue results would be that the rccievers of letters would be required to pay double postage, or the same as if the l. ;tors had been Tor warded by mail and net prepaid. Tn imprint of private seal on tie staml ioes not cancel it, but an address on stamped envelope acts as cancel lation. There was 30 cents worth oi stamps or many lstters forwarded by the Colon.
