The concurrence of the Aldermen in the
Mayors nominations is necessary. The
act, as may be inferred from what we
have already said about it, is local option
scheme, and cannot be in operation in any
city till it shall have been accepted by the
people at a popular election. Commissions
thus constituted would be made up of men
who would be, in no wise, under obliga-
lions to their subordinates for their places,

The SUNDAY TATTLER reached high
water mark, in the matter of circulation,
last Sunday morning. Over $500 copies
of the paper were disposed of, and even
then the demand was not met If we had
struck off 10000 copies we should have
sold every one of them. We are rapidly
closing the gap between our circulation
and that of the Evening Journal, and before
the campaign is over we expect 10 be
abreast with it in the number of copies
sold. And why shouldn't WEI Take last
Sundays paper as sampled There were
in that paper 191 items under the captions
of the several departments. "a full head
news items and 10 editorial topics. So
that altogether-exclusive of the story on
the third page-264 topics of local interest
were treated in one issue, in one way or
another With all of its little police drib-
blings, the Journal of Tuesday showed
only 1876 topics treated, and that of We'd

view of it. The other view of it is in the
comparative excellence OF the text of the

worth the ftp of ones finger, will agree
with us that any one article in last Sun

The firemen Of Bayonne offered an ex-
cellent argument in favor of paid depart
ment last Sunday, when they let a house
burn down while they fought out an d
dispute. Firemen should never fight
among themselves, but if they must fight
they should extinguish the fire first and
fight afterwards. At least that's the way
the old volunteers of Jersey City used to
do, but even that didn't give satisfaction.

said that people who gave to the Irish

for the cause of Irish liberty would be
equally truthful, it would be a good thing

great help to the cause if they would do
it, and do it promptly. The sooner the

The Political Atmosphere Clearing

The Political Atmosphere Clearing.
The signs of the times clearly indicate that
the installation of President Cleveland in
augurated new era in our political history
The funkyism which became an integral
part of the Grant regime, will find no en-
couragement with the present administra-
tion. President Cleveland, like his proto-
type, Abraham Lincoln, in the grand en-
bodiment of Republican simple ty, and those
who have been apiug the methods of the
European aristocracy, will not find in Presi-
dent Cleveland sympathizer with either
their single eye.giass nor their assumed
English accent. The President has proved
himself to be full of good, sound American
sense, and there will be general disappoint-
ment if there is not wholesale taboo'ng of
all the tomfoOlery that has been fastened to
the successive administrations s'nce the
days of Lincoln.
"Public Office is public trust was early
inscribed upon the insignia of the Democratic
candidate in the recent campaign, and if the
man has not been misrspresented, an a nte-
election statement means post.election full
| fillment.
We do not believe that President Cleveland
will tolerate any political sinecures during
his tenure of office, and every official must
measure up to the requirements of his Office,
or step down and out.
"Public Office is public trust" was tic
sentiment which inspired confidence in tn,

THE AUDACITY OF BAYARD'S
HENCHMEN.
A DisingenuOus, Uuchivalrous At
tempt to Steal Mr.. Lore's
Laurels

Laurels.
The information contained in a communi-
cation of the 9th inst, from Washington, ad-
dressed to morning cotemporary, upon the
subject of the appropriation of $150,O00 for
the new post Office, is so distinctly Bayard-
colored that it has occasioned surprise
among the citizens of Wilmington and has
given rise to considerable question and com-
ment. II is considered that the wholesale
assertions of credit accorded Mr.. BAYARD in
the matter lack somewhat of candor and are
not properly merited by him.
The statement from Washington that
Last winter (1SS4) when the project was
first broached both Mr. Lore and Mr.. Bay
ard presented bills in their respective cham
bers providing for the erection of post
Office in Wilmington" gives the reader the
untrue impression that Mr.. BAYARD pre-
sented bill upon the Federal Buildings
here, simultaneously with MR.. LORE.
SENATOR BAYARD did no such thing. His
(BAYARD's) bill was introduced in March,
whereas Mr.. LORE, who had incepted the
whole matter, had introduced the original
bill in the House in the previous month of
January. This may be seen by perusal of
the Congressional Record. Mr. BAyA RD's
bill being only reseript of the one already
introduced by our representative in the
House, concurrent action upon which in the
Senate was not only bluntly suggestive to
any ordinary intellect representing Will
mington constituency but co mpulsory in
view of the stigma further senatorial dill a.
toriness would entail in the future.
Action in the matter and the avenue there
to was clearly indicated for our Senator's
guidance. The thanks of the citizens are
due him for his readiness even at that late
moment to cooperate with the Hon. CHAs.
B. LORE, who for the last year has had this
matter steadily in view, and who, but for the
repeated opposition of MIR. RANDARL in the
House, would have secured the $3.50, 900 ap-
prop ration last summer.
Let credit be given where credit is due
All that Mr., BAYARp has done he receives
credit for. But that after a twelve months
drudgery upon the question and constant
watchfulness for its consummation, its in
ceptor should be repaid by the picture of
another stepping in at the last moment to
pluck the laurels which are rightfully MIR.
LoRE's is more than can fairly be tolerated.

The Angel SIeep.

When the day is done and the shadows fall
Over the earth like dusky pail,
Then from the mystic, the silent deep
Rises the beautiful Angel Sleep.
Der field and forest he spreads his wings
Where the cricket chirps and the wood bird
sings,
And the murmur of voices dies away,
Still by the Angel calm and gray.
Human passions that surge and swell
Are slenced under the mystic spell,
And tired hearts that are used to weep
Yield to the power of the Angel Sleep.
Soft he broods till the morning gray,
Then as noiselessly glides away,
And the spell is lifted and hearts again
Take up their burden of care and pain.
We call him Death 'Tis the Angel Sleep
That comes at last from the silent deep,
And smooths forever the brow of care,
And calms the fever of passion there.
So we sleep and rest, till the morning gray
Breaks once more of an endless day,
And into the mystic, the unknown deep,
Flies forever the Angel Sleep.
Arthur Wentworth Eaton.

The sum total of the Bill written especially
by two physicians of Wilmington is, that II
was designed directly to bring grist to
their medical mills. If the Legislature
should pass the said bill it should also pass
a supplementary act appointing special
constabulary for Wilmington who should 60
nosing around and when bearing of sick
man should gather him by the seat of his
breeches and land him in the office of one or
all of those who are so hungering aud thirst
ing for medical business, and there filch from
the sick mans pockets his little or all for
the DOCTORS use.
Year after year few doctors, under the
deceptive pleadings of exalting the standard
of the medical profession, run to Dover and
ask for special legislation, the covert intent
of which is either for personal aggrandize-
ment or to wreck vengeance upon some sup
posed rival. A gentleman either in or out
of the medical profession needs no restrain
ing laws of an ethical character, and it is a
matter of easy verification that those who
prate most about medical ethics are the first
to waylay and stab in the back their profess
sional colleagues.
Between the sessions of the Legislature
the Old School of Medicine is industriously
creating personal denunciaton in their ranks,
and in the meantime Homeopathy is minding
its own business, not asking for any class
legislation, but quietly absorbing the cream
of the practice. The whereas of the pet
Doctor scheme is delusion and snare, and
the professed interests of the people whose
cause the bill is claimed to espouse is a sub
terfuge, behind which studied effort has
been made to rob the people of the State of
Delaware OF their inherent rights. Ifa man
has tested the virtues of the Red Star Cough |
Syrup and it has given him satisfaction, |
why should he be debarred its use? As
there is no law compelling a man to buy OF
sell any patent medicine, neither should |
there be any law to prevent his using patent
medicine at his own pleasure; but these
"disnterested" Doctors say that some patent
medicines are njurious-admit it, are not
the practses of some physicians equally in
furious? and this question will regulate itself
at the bar of public opinion.
If a Doctor has not the confidence of the
community no amount of legislation can
drive patronage to his Office, and in the
future as in the past it will be both in the
Proprietary and the Doctor business She sur-
vtUal Of the tittest."

THE FEDERAL BUILDING.
The Appropriation for $3.50, 900
Passed.

The bill introduced by the Hon. CHAs
B. LORE for an appropriation of $3.50, 900
for the erection of a public building for
Federal purposes has at length passed both
Houses of Congress.
Apart from the fact of the long felt need
of such structure in this growing city the
distribution ofsuch a large sum of money
among the working classes at this moment
of extreme business and trade depression,
will be hailed as a godsend. We are in
debted to the industry of those gentlemen
who represent us in the National Legisla-
ture for the successful accomplishment of
the project at such an opportune moment as
the present one.
The bill for the erection of Federal
Building in Wilmington was introduced in
the House some twelve months ago by the
Hon. CHAs. B. LORE, who ever since, to the
present moment of its successful passage
has kept it industriously within view. Its
enactment was confidently expected by Mr..
LORE two weeks ago, but the accident of
its association with the Sundry Civil Bill,
upon which the Senate at its appearance in
the Upper House made certain amendments,
caused an unexpected delay, the final out
come however, being that it was passed by
the Senate as one of the last enactments of
that body.
Whatever may be the choice of locality
for the new Government Offices their cree
tion will add new grace and beauty to ar
chitectural effects in this city There are
two or three advantageous sites suggested,
and it is to be hoped that strong considera-
tion will be given to the necessity of making
the most of this opportunity in order that
the dignity of the chief city of the state may
be permanently emphasized by noble
structure appropriately erected at some spot
where the beauty of its design may not be
marred or hidden by undesirable surround
ings and obscurity of location. An archi-
tectural result such as the new County
Building, especially in regard to location
perhaps could not be expected. But there
is no doubt the citizens of Wilmington will
be very much disappointed if something
very fine in street architectural effect that
will add to the appearance of our main bus.
iness avenue is not evolved out of this gen.
erous appropriation.

The Vacant Senatorial Chair.

The accession of Senator Bayard to the
Cabinet creates Senatorial vacancy which
the Legislature will be required to fill. The
state law upon that point is that in case the
Legislature is in session at the time of a
senatorial vacancy occurring ballotting for
said vacancy shall be begun fourteen days
from the date such notification shan have
been officially received.
MessTs. Lore, Gray and ex-Congressmau
Martin are the only names that appear ON the
surface in connection with the question of
senatorial succession, and as the friends of
Mr.. Lore confidently claim fourteen votes in
the first ballot for the peoples favorite, it is
fair presumption that on the second, not
later than the third ballot Hon. Charles B.
Lore will be triumphanty declared the
Senator elect from Delaware.
Unholy alliance may defeat the wishes Of
the people but as this question will be re.
ferred to the community at large two years
hence for their ratification, it is scarcely
probable, notwithstanding rumors to the
contrary, that there will be any organized
effort to debauch the members of the Legis.
lature.
The members of the Legislature have had
the opportunity to understand the feelings
of their constituents upon this grave aud
important subject and there is no Indication
that they would knowingly forfeit the re-
speet and confidence Of their fellow.citizens.
