MIR. Bayard's Ambition.
Chester Times, April l4

tuester HINES April ii,
The peculiar selections made for some of
our foreign missions have been not the least
of tho puzzles with VIII ch the public, aud
especially the Democratic part of it, has
tried to grapple since the fourth of March.
1t is difficult to see, for what service to the
party in power so signal a distinction as a
mission to the Court of St. James, bestowed
ON the staunch Republican State of Vermont
can be. When we reflect, however, that
VelmOnt's representation in the next Ma
tional Democratic Convention counts Just
as much, man for man, as delegates from
other states; and when with tins fact we
link another, that the present Secretary Of
State has pretty clear idea that he would
about fill the Democratic beau ideal of what
the President of this great land should be,
some reason for the apparent eccentrcties
in the selection of our diplomats may be dis
ceIned.
1t may be all wrong, and Mr.. Bayard may
have no other aim than to discharge the du-
ties of his responsible position with credit to
himself and for the welfare of his country.
But nevertheless, known as his ambition is.
he is more than suspected, he Is plainly
charged with using the influence attached TO
his office with an eye mainly to the advance
ment of his political aspirations.
If the past conveys any lesson in this re-
spect, no mans experience in this very mat
ter of booming Presidential aspirant by
means of patronage can be more instruct
i've than the prostitution of public offices
and official favor for the purpose of securing
the prize of the Presidential nomination for
Senator Sherman, during Hayes admins
tration. 1t was failure, of course--most
of Mr.. Hayes schemes were. And Mr..
Bayard will live to learn that he will be no
more successful if he resorts to the same
means.

Our City Authorities,

The canard referred to in the Morntno
Neps of Thursday last is a just sarcasm upon
the ludicrous municipal government of this
city.
The chief magistracy of Wilmington is in
disrepute, and has been declared SO by the
General Assembly of the State. Now oui
citizens respectfully petition tie state gov.
ernment to consider the puerile condition OF
the City Council, and on account of Their
helpless state TO declare the Council abol-
isned.
Whatever of irony there is in the petition
referred to, certain authorities have induced
the Legislature to believe that Wilmington's
Mayor iS a man of straw.
The Legislature may also be impressed
with the fact of the iuutility of City Council
and proceed to abolish it by, enactment in
due course.
A strange lot of names are cropping up as
candidates for CIVIC honors. The diversiH.
cation is extremely amusing. In view Of the
possibility Of one of these clark horses
occupying the position of chief magis-
trate (P) oAthe city of Wilmington, it is a
consolation to remember that no brain OF
treat mental calbre, or of exceptional expe.
)fience, is needed to give treasurer's receipt
for the onerous duties required.

Modified Telephone Tolls,
Every Evening

Every Evening.
1t comes rather laJe in the session but we
note with interest, and presume every reader
will, the telephone bill which Representa-
tive Mo clo introe uctd on Tuesday.
Some such legislation would prove very
acceptable to the many who are now paying
annual rentals for telephone service much
in excess of the total cost of the instruments
and lines on which the rental is laid. II
was in evidence in recent Canadian suis
that the cost Of manufacturing telephones
did not exceed some two or three dollars per
instrument. The system upon which tho
use of these instruments is permitted to the
public is very much as If a contractor were
| to build houses at cost Of $500 each and to
rent at 500 per month. The bill intro
duced Tuesday is the outcome, we presume,
of Indiana hint reported recently, aud If this
matter of extortion in the use of an instru
ment which has become necessity to bus,
mess and professional people can be thus
regulated by legislative enactment, (and we
see no reason why telephone companies
should be superior to the law making pow
cry, the nation will owe big vote of thanks
to the Indiana legislature for setting the ex-
ample. Indeed we think it very likely that
the reduction of telephone rentals to more
reasonable rate would prove advantageous
not only to the public but to the telephone
companies themselves, as such action would
be almost sure to result in soon doubling OF
trpling the number of customers. But we
suppose the telephone men will be short
sighted enough to fight the bill, notwith-
standing,

The Bulletin Farce,

In a recent issue of THE WILMIHeToNIAN
we pointed out the incongruities of the medi
cal bulletins issued from the sick chamber
of General Grant which prognosticated an
immediate dissolution of the Nations hero
when both pulse and temperature were nor.
mall While there will be universal rejoic.
ing at the restoration of General Grant il
may be safely said that the medical history
of the case will not inspire especial conf.
dence in the judgment of his medical ad-
visers.
Everybody remembers the eminent
medical gentlemen who punctured poor
Pres ident GARFIELD's body, and created
pus-tracks, and carved and slashed his flesh
to cut out from the front part of his body
bullet which had lodged in his back
Gen. GRANTS cancer will perhaps turn
out to be as imaginary as the bullet which
learned doctors were certain they felt moving
in the murdered GARF1ELD's groin.
Gen. GRANT has been seriously ill., But
behind his infamed and liberated tonsils
stood the sturdy frame and vigorous con-
stitution which have saved him from the
effects Of the constant consultations of a
syndicate of doctors.
But as to the Generals cancer if not
found in vessel, as GARFIELD's bullet was
it will be discovered floating in the imagina-
tions of the learned doctors who have treat
ed it for five or six weeks, and who will no
doubt make use of it in medical books as a
marvellous instance of The cure by science of
disease which by nature is incurable.
A patient with pulse and temperature nor

is not necessarily in arttcalo mortis-Drs.

The Third street Bridge.

Notwithstanding the strong pressure
brought by interested parties in favor of
constructing the new bridge on the Third
street site, the Levy Court has evaded Civ
ing verdict TO either side by pleading mo
funds."
To the citizens of Wilmington who are
unanimously in favor OF the Fourth street
site, the whole transaction from its concep-
tion to its weak conclusion will be looked
upon as an attempt to test the public pulse
upon the question, that from the first there
was no genuine intention to build new
bridge by the agitators of the question ex-
cept at Third street. They were all along
thoroughly inioI med upon the flat condition
OF the county's purse. The verdict of ''no
funds on hand" was really no discovery,
but the discovery was that the people wish
for the Fourth street bridge. But as cer-
tain interested parties have now ascertained
that popular opinion is strongly against a
new structure on the Third street site, the
whole bus ness has dropped flat, including
the public spiritedness of those " ho were so
extremely solicitous for the extension and
development of our city, and we shall have
no new bridge at all. 1t is so strange but
most probably there would have been no
lack of funds were it possible to have it built
anew on the old site. For appearance sake
III order to maintain the assumption of soic-
tude fUr the needs of the city, the ancient
rickety concern at Third street will be
patched up.

The Board of Education.

Most strange propositions, assertions and
statements were made at the last meeting OF
the Board of Education in regard to the new
school building.
We are all aware that the Board COM
plains of lack OF funds. How is it then
that proposition should come up asking for
the appointment of an additional building
Inspector at salary of $3.50!
One of the members of the Board made
the singular assertion that the architect (oi
the new school building) is good architect
but is not competent to superintend the
erection of the building. Another member
made grave criticism upon the manner in
which the work is being done, He said he
had visited the building and found that
wooden lntels and window sills were being
put; that brick arches should be use!, He
found upon sighting the stone work that il
was from one to one half inch out of line,
anQ GndG uedNy luu ptsIo mSio iootlnS "
little brickwork eight inches deep in damn
cellar. The consequence, he said, could b.
easily anticipated. When the building set
tied the walls will crack. He thought it ;
shame that such work should be done in
building that should be credit to the city
He moved that competent man be engaged
at cost of $3.50 to superintend the work.
Architect E. L. Rice, the superi ntenden
and architect of the building, says the aboy
assertions are entirely incorrect, and denie
them all point. blank, He invites tie in
spection of the structure by any experience
person, or expert upon such matters.
Building Inspector Chandler also state
the assertions made at the meeting of th
Board of Education, referred to above, are nc
founded on fact and are a most unwarrante
attack upon those concerned in the ereetic
of the building,

Bayard's Methods.

Our minister to Hayti. George W. Wf,-
liams, is colored gentleman. Secretary
Bayord does not like the idea of gentlemen
of color occupying prominent positions here.
SO Mr.. Bayard has asked Mr.. Williams to
send in his resignation papers.
Previous to this, Mr.. Williams had seen
President Cleveland upon the matter, who
said: 81 know of no candidate for the place.
and | do not desire or request your resigna-
tion."
MIR. Bayard may have personal dislike
to eolored people, but President Cleveland
considered the gentleman fit and proper
representative of the American nation to our
sister republic of Hayt, and the Senate of
the United States had previously confirmed
the opinion on March 2nd.
But Mr.. Bayard differs with the President
and the United States Senate.
MI. Williams made personal application
to Secretary Bayard but could elicit from
him no reason whatever for his peculiar ac,
ton. II will be left to Mr.. Williams and
his fellow ciUizens of this country to look
for an explanation only in the occult depths
of Civil Service Reform as exemplifed by
the Hon. Thomas +. Bayard.
This last development of the peculiar the
ories Of the Secretary of State, In connec-
ton with that pleasing instance of the ap-
pointment of the Emma Mine" attorney to
the Court of St. James, If not reassuring Is
distinctly illustrative of what manner Of
man is at the head of the Department. Of
State.
The New York Tribune -"Probably
there is no man in the United States who
feels stronger antipathy towards the ne
gro than does Secretary Bayari. During
thau - I; =
we're colleagues in the Ssnate ms said thai
Mr.. Bayard never by look, Word, or action
showed that ne was conscious that such a.
psrson as Mr.. Bruce existed, A friend Of,
Mr.. Bayald, it is said once asked him how
he managed to meet and pass Senator Bruce
without ever seeing him. II just imagine
am passing vacuum" was the haughty re-
ply. Secretary Bayard, however, encoun-
tered a man of color to-day whose existence
and presence he felt obliged to recognize.

SECRETARY Bayard will be fully under
stood before long, and when the people get
to know him as he should be known, he will
hardly pose before the country as the great
non-partisan reformer he represents himself
to be, and which he is accorded to be by
Mugwump authority. He is now said to
have demanded the immediate resignation of
all foreign consuls notwithstanding his little
adverse adventure with Williams, the
colored Minister to Hayti. 1t is said that
already GOODNESS is springing up between

An Oasis in Life's Desert.

a oommemoration of recurring BIRTH

happiness into the family circle for the time

life and begets that feeling of domestic Joy

living.
1t was the good fortune Of a representa-
tive of THE WILMIEaRoNIAN to witness on
last Thursday evening, one of those annual
greetings to one of Wilmington's deservedly
popular dentists residing on King street.
In the hurry incident to an active pro-
fessional life the head of the family had
evidently forgotten that he was even the
possessor of such an article as birthday,
but his devoted wife, dotlng daughter and
appreciative sons were not SO unmindful OF
passing events, and hence upon last Thursday
night when the family assembled for theil
evening meal, imagine the surprise of the
worthy ''Kuight of the Forceps' as he beheld
at his plate ten pound Lady cake, bearing
the inscription ''To Husband and Father on
his 48th Birthday.
''This." he exclaimed, sis enough glory
for one day." After suitable expressions
had been interchanged the doctor upturned
his plate, to there find sparkling in its daz-
cling lustre, diamond ring.
Birthdays are the oases in life's journey
and it were well, were their obseryances
