The Times says the Democrats
promise the people that there shall be
retrenchment and reform in the public
expenditures II the Democrats are en-
trusted with the control of the affairs of
the city on the 9th of June" These
are bold words to utter. What kind Of
retrenchment does the Times allude to L?
The public has been apprised of the re-
trenchment of Democratic members OF
Council the present year in the salary
grab that they have been prscticing. II
Is singular kind of retrenchment and
reform when the Legislature had to b.
appealed to, to permit the borrowing O
$40, 900 to keep the city from. becoming
bankrupt. 1t is a singular kind OF re
trenchment and reform that brings
City Council from $4,000 to S1OO,O
more in debt at the end of the year thai
1t was at the commencement of tn,
year. The Times proceeds and says
AS an evidence of the good faith @
this promise the Council has alread,
lowered the tax rate for city purpose
five per cent. on the hundred dollars.
OF course we are in favor of iowtaxes
but if the Democratic City Counci
went behind about 500, 900 with a Ia
rate of $3.50 per $10o, it is very Difficult
to see how they can decrease that del
with tax rate of 81. As per 500. Pei
haps the Times can enlighten us.

Yesterday was an important day for
now the westsrn part OF
the Tenth Ward. The first the citizens
of Wilmington knew about the place
was that q few houses were erected
nearly opposite the New Cathedral
Cemetery, which was commenced some
ten years ago. Next we hear that
the place is called Silverbrook, from
the bright little purling brook that
meanders down from the spring heads
extending away up to Green Hill
church. Next we hear of the burglariz.
ing of Lawrence Rigney's store on the
then turnpike, now Front street. Neg.
We hear Of Andrew Doibow, Asbury' 8
! . onu the Baptist, going out there and
starting real old fashioned shouting
Methodist meetings under large beech
tree, which continued to be the meeting
house for two or three years. Next we
hear of the advent Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad ploughing its way right
up through the centre of the village. II
the mean time the dram shop had fol
lowed and next we hear of q murde
committed. Now follows the detiica
ton Of the first church in the place
humble though 1t be, yet it is the nu
; cleus Of a larger one to follow. Whel
