BASKETS INSTEAD OF CRATES.

Tie retail dealers in fruits in New York City
and in consequence tho commission merchants,
are setting their faces against crates packages
for peaches, and are urging return to the use
of baskets. They do this on account OF the
growing rascaity Of shippers who face up the
iutcrstlces OF the crate stats with extra fine fruit
and FIJI up the body with inferior, and not un-
frequently with green apples or windiall peaches.
When baskets are used such frauds are easly
detected, as the fruit can be turned out from
one basket into another and lis character be
readily seen.
The retailers require fnll hve-eights baskets.
any reduction from the standard size will be met
with corresponding decrease in price. They re-
tail by the quart or half peck and they require
that the baskets shall be honest measure. There
are very many upright fruit growers and packers
but we are grieyed 20 say that there are far toe
many who are dishonest, as any commission
man or retailer will testify. linen cannot be
honest from principle. they would tiud it protiIa

THE general complaint made by
both parties, of illegal voting at the
last election held in Wilmington,
shows the need of something more
than stringent laws to guard the bal
lot box. In one Oflast weeks issues
Every Evening says:
"Thirty years ago the man who
would either sell his ballot or vote IL
legally at a regular election would be
held in almost the same disgrace as
culprit who stole sheep"
If that is true, times have changed
greatly, for the most dishonOrable
tactics are now winked at by men OF
both parties. How this change has
some about is a matter of but small
moment, the evil exists and demands
a cure. But, to quote again from
EUery Evening;
"Illegal voting at elections, on both
sides, has reached point at which II
is time for respectable citizens of both
parties to call halt. 1t matters not
that in respect to fraudulent voting il
is a fact that donors are easy between
the two political parties, as was un'
dOubtedly the case at Saturdays cleo
ton. Illegal votes were unblushingly
pOlled and unhesitatingly received
by Democrats in the lower wards and
by Republicans in the upper wards
The election laws of the State were
ruthlessly violated; and illegal voters
encouraged openly by party worker:
and election officers of both parties. d
The fact that the election laws
are "ruthlessly violated" is proc
that we need something more thar
legislation. We need an educated
moral sense in the community that
will make the buying and selling o.
votes, or any attempt to invade the
sacredness of the ballot-box a crime
that will injure the social standing
of those that practise it; that will
make it as disgraceful as SHEEP
stealing.

WE have received through the kind
ness of Edmund B. Frazier, Regis
ter, the reports of the Board OF
Health of the city of Wilmington,
The president, L. P. Bush, NJ. D.,
states that the mortality for the yeaI
ending Dec. 81, 1884 was 119O,a slight
increase on the previous year. He
recommends an improved system Of
sewerage, and the execution of the
ordinance in regard to vaccination
That an appropriation be made tc
provide public bathing places, and
calls attention to the annual loss OIL
life among infants by the use ofadul
terateG milk.
The report of the Register con
tains a large amount of statistical in
formation. The total population o
the city is estimated at $500; o
which $4,000 are white, and 7,2OC
colored. The death rate per thous
and for whites, is 1891; for blacks
81. During the year 1884, 46 per
sons died over so years Of age, ant
four over ninety.

Four years ago there was organ
lied in this country "The Society
for Political Education" 1t was or
gained by citizens who believe that
the success of our government large
" depends on the active political in
fuence of educated intelligence, and
that parties are means, not ends.
1t is(non partisan in its organiza-
ton, and is not to be used for other
purpose than the awakening of an
Intelligent interest in government
methods and purposes, tending to
restrain the abuse of parties and to
promote party morality. The fol
lowing are some of the propositions
to which its members are expected
to agree in the main. The right of
each citizen to his free voice and
vote must be upheld. Ofiice-holders
must not control the suffrage. The
Office should seek the man, and not
the man the office. The crimes of
bribery and corruption must be re-
lentlessly punished. Sound currency
must have a metal basis, and all pa
per money must be convertible on
demand. Labor has a right to the
highest wages it can earn, unhin-
dered by public or private tyranny.
Trade has a right to the freest scope,
unfettered by taxes, except for gov
ernmentexpenses. Corporationsm must
be restrained from abuse of privilege.
Neither the public money nor the
peoples land must be used to subsi-
die private enterprise.
The Society proposes to carry out
its objects by submitting to its mem
bers lists of books which it regards
as desirable reading on current po-
litical and economic questions; by
supplying the books so selected at
the smallest possible advance beyond
actual cost; by furnishing in cheap
form, sound economic and political
literature; and by assisting in the
formation Of reading and correspond
ing circles and clubs for discussing
social, political, and economical ques-
tions,

THE communication of the Lee
turer of the National Grange for
June. recommends to Patrons for
their consideration, progressive,
practical farming and its results. D"
Progressive means moving on
ward; cease to move and you cease
to be progressive. So the progressive
farmer never stops, but pursues a
straight line towards perfection. He
does not move in the circle of work
his grandfather followed, or in the
ruts worn by his much to be respect
ed father, but he hews out q path for
himself, guided by the light OF mod
ern science and improvement. lie
does not hesitate to avail himself OF
every means of advancement. You
will find him in the Grange Hall dis
cussing the best methods Of farm
ing and sharpening his ideas by inter-
course with his neighbors. He has
given up the one crop system, and
/ bv a iudicious diversity Of products,
manages to have something to sell
at a profit all seasons of the year.
The progressive farmer has i'm
proved stock, that pay for their
keep; he has steady, industrious
help, that earn their wages; he uses
the best fertilizers, and can tell you
why they are valuable; the most i'm
proved labor-saving tools, and takes
care of them; he studies the science
of agriculture, and applies the
knowledge gained, to produce prac
\ teal results; in short, he conducts
his business on active, intelligent
business principles.
And what is the result? He has
a pleasant, comfortable home, show
ing progress and prosperity. His
wife has help and conveniences thai
enable her to execute her daily tasks
with ease and have time to read the
magazines, books and papers witt
which the house is literally supplied
His children love the farm and farm
, life. for they see it is not drudgery
but a life of intelligent, progressive
action. The well-fed COW in ne
stall, the clearly pig in his pen, thu
well-kept yard, neat fences, and com
Portable buildings will show the i'm
{ provement that marks the progress
, i've farmer.
When this picture is realized OF
the farms of Sussex county, we shall
hear less complaint of bad seasons
f Door crops, no money, etc. Progress
: i've agriculture is measrably indie
pendent of the seasons and clear o
poor crops; it encourages other in
- dustries and home markets; it build
f school houses and keeps them full o
f intelligent children. 1t support
\ railroads and steamboat lines, FUR
ishes honest, intelligent voters, an
in a thousand ways developes tn
; prosperity of the country.

NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW.
Few things are more facinating
in their way than q study Of the sub
terranean history of man, whether in
caves or in mounds, whether it be to
corroborate written history, or to
take testimony that anti-dates all
writing. President Bartlett, Of Dart
mouth, contributes an excellent arti
Gle on this topic to the July number
of the North american ReCielC. The
same number contains n cOnversa-
ton between David Dudley Field
and Henry George, on land and tax
alton. The ReUielU has just COM
pleted its seventh year. But out
wardly it renews its youth with a
new cover, and inwardly it seems

He proposes to attain the equitable
redistribution of property, not by
communism, but by n novel system
of taxation. The book will come t.
