The King of Bavaria has been forced to

King Louis has for many years carried on

treated his ministers as menials, aud toward
his menas he conducts himself as if they

This DAVIS Work.

Between the hours of 12, noon, and z
o'clock p M, will be determined the demo-
cratic nominee for the Shrieval,y Of New
Castle County.
The canvass is unquestonbiy narrowed
down to Lambson, Smith, and Chambers,
but as the reports at this date from the out
lying hundreds are so conflicting, the result
must be considered as largely problematical
If Smith divide the vote in the lower hun
dreds with Lambson as he claims he will be
able to do and Chambers rolls up the vote in
1st, 81, OH, 10th, aud 18th wards that his
friends are promising, Chambers viii. be the
nominee.
Lambson without question, has the strong
est following by all odds in Wilmington
There is no Disgusting the fact that there is
a magnetism about the candidacy of Mr.
Lambson that will materially add to his sup
port from many unexpected quarters,yet the
multiplicity of Shrievalty candidates en-
shrouds the result with dismal uncertainty,
Whatever may be the issue of this days
nomination, the stress laid upon the naming
of the respective inspectors does not indicate
healthful condition of political morals,
From the anxiety exhibited by the various
candidates concerning the Inspectors the
presumption is that the Inspectors will do
the electing and not the people.
Why should it matter whether the Inspec-
tors, individually, prefer Lambson, Smith
or Chambers? The Inspectors are sworn to
hold fair and impartial election and if the
the tactics are employed which saddled G. B.
Rhoads upon this city as Mayor there will
be not only revolt, but there will be well
directed organization which will jeopardize
democratic supremacy at the November cleo
tion.
Political morals in New York city under
tuted than are the politics of Wilmington at
this day. Nominations no longer nominate,
and elections no longer elect in this city.
One of the parties who manipulated the
election of c. b. Rhoads told the writer that
his friends had reserve of $50 votes over
and above what were needed to Select"
Rhoads, Mayor of Wilmington, and although
those identical practices may be resorted to
this day, yet, such being the case, an appeal
will be taken before the high tribunal Of the
people at the general election.
The mills of the gods may R,ind slowly
but they grind exceedingly fine" and the
murmuring and the the discomfort which
may now be heard all along the democratic
line will be crystalized into howlt..g Wild
derness if the agencies, which elected @. B
Rhoads, may or shall be employed in naming
Sheriff for New Castle County.

quite Foreign to the Issue.


The moctatie sheriffalty nomination is
to be determined to-day.
The question, above everything else, is
asked, why bave certain parties striven to
inject the senatorial discussion as shibbo-
leth among the voters, and by what right
do they presume to criticize those who
choose to exercise thcir individual preference
in this matter.
AS regards the senatorial question that Of
the sheriffllty bears no relation to it what
ever, has not an iota of bearing upon tit
is totally foreign to it We have yet % learn
of any tradition rule or regulation written or
unwritten by which the vote on the sheriff
atty has ever been co sidcred anything but
an isolated factor in Democrats politics. AS
long as tbe office has been secured to the
Democ acy, that being assured, for all else no
further restriction has ever been ltqrircd.
1t is an isolated office aud the understanding
has always been that Democrats use ''tleir
own sweet will'' as to which OF the party as
pirauts they give their suffrages.

Attractive Homes.

There is use in beauty. 1t makes home
attractiV its interior more respectable, our
lives happier, our dispositions sweeter and
our social and domestic intercourse more
refined. BY all means plant some little
thing of grace to temper the rugged sur
roundings of the front yard. Its silent
though eloquent language will speak to the
visitor or the passcr by a word of eulogy for
you. The least flower or shrub will be some
attraction. Acurved path winding between
trees to the house, mound of stones and
shells, with ivy trailing over them, the
flowery shrub or the tuft of fern, all such
things are attractive and form a pleasant
object for the eye of even the most indiffer-
ent beholder.

The New Postmaster.

The new postmaster Mr. Rob't, II. Taylor
will ieceive all the consideration from the
public usually conceded in such case as
his. Mr.. Taylor is All entire novice to the
office of which he is the assured incumbent.
1t would be impossible to expect an imme-
diate efficiency equal 10 that shown by the
outgoing official. A patient and persistent
attention to public duties and strict isola-
tion from local politics" may enable the
new postmaster to give measurable service

The New Park,

Ine new Rafk,
The citizens of Wilmington arc to be con-
graduated upon their acquisition o. Brandy
wine Park
Tney can now speak with Legitimate civic
pride Of "ther PARK" Not in all the Uni
ted States is there city that can boast of a
peoples park with such grand naSural beau
ty in immediate contiguity % the dwellings
OF the poorer classes.
The genuineness OF the boon will only be
the more appreciated as the city increases in
size and in population. Suddenly then its
most honest AMI sturdy opponents of
last week will come to admit that they in
deed made a great mistake in opposing it's
purchase by the city.
There need be no hesitation in asserting
that a greater blessing could not be bestowed
upon Wilmington's thousands than this
beautiful glimpse of nature along Brandy
vino Gorge.
Will those gentlemen who in their iadg-
ment honestly demanded that city council
defeat the purchasing enactment consider
the small average fifteen or twenty cent ad-
ded tax against the Joyous hulrahs of ten
thousand children This glorious record
of City Council and Of the mayoralty Ad-
ministration of 1886 in passing this ordir-
anee is the greatest aud noblest in the mu.
nicipal annals Of Wilmington. Aud poster
lily will judge it So Let this deed of the
Park Committee of City Council be forever
remembered to their credit
1t is not frequent occ Irrence, we regret
to say, that this journal finds an opportunity
of honest aud unqualified praise of the dongs
of City Council. Therefore it is with the
greater pleasure that the members of Coun,
Gil may be congratulated upon accomplish
ing something that is nearer to the hearts of
Wilmingtonisns than possibly anything else
that could be contemplated.
When, in the future, the citizens OF VIII
miugton come TO realize the grand signifi-
cance of this princely acquisition to their
city, and when those feelings prompted in
individual gratitude gradually develop into
unit of rec gnition and appreciation, as
has come to pass in other cities, there are
two men whom Wilmingtonians of the future
will specially thank for their tue philan-
thropic foresight and undertaking persistent
action in this Park project-they are William
Candy and Denis J. Mcntou. The citizen S
may not put up monuments to their memo
ry, but their chidren's children, for genera
tions to come will, none tile less be ndt bted
to thea as viii also every true lover Of ma
ture for securing to ti,ee etty forever such
delightful holiday place.
Cel trail Park, New York, Farmount Park,
Philadelphia, Lincoln Pa,k, Chicago, nor
Epping Forest, London, with all Of
which the writer is familiar, has nothing
approaching our Bean lywine Park in natur-
al landscape beauty All Of the perhaps

King Street Fruit Market.

Yes" remarked King street dealer to
representative of THE WILMINaToNIAS,
''The Strawberry glut is gone There are
still some berries in the market but last
Saturday saw the last Of the busy time"
W. Has this been. a good season for straw
berries
Eyes, iu has been the most plenteous
that remember
"How did prices range,-what were the
highest and lowestp
swell, in the wholesale market they sold
at 25 cents quart by the crate, down to one
cent per quart on Saturday last sold as
fine berries as were in the market at TWO
cents quart Another dealer sold thirty
crates at that rate, about town, up and down
the street probably as many as two hundred
crates, perhaps more, were sold to pay
freight and carriage, that is ten and twenty
cents, or 80 cents per crate. You know COM
mission men must sell their goods Saturday.
They cant keep over Sunday. We must pro-
tect ourselves on railroad freight as the
company insists on our taking all freight
risks. We are required to deposit so much
money each season as collateral security to
the Railway Company that their freightage
will be paid. So we cant run any risk in
keeping peris able goods like strawberries
over till Monday. The growers down state
must take their share of the risks. ~.
Among the retailers of course there is
every diversity of price. The pedlers espec-
ialy ask as much as they can get. Sometimes
they get 25 cents quart for what we whole
salers let them have for cents and even 2.
''When strawberries are out what comes
in then ?"
"Why, raspberries. They last however
only week or ten days. Then dewberries
appear and after that the cultiva oil black
berries which are at their height about list
of August. Before that however cherries
come in, In fact there are some in the mar
ket already as you may see"
Altogether this seems to be an unusually
good freight season. The heavy rains
with alternate sunshine account for it. A
Bridgeyille grower told me he never saw
moro general crop.
"What do you mean, ? asked the curious
scribe "by the term general crop as you
used it there %
"Why Just this-you know in travelling
down the road among the growers, com
mon experience is to fad on one side Of the
road good patch OF berries and almost par
allel on the other side you will find large
acreage where the berries are not worth
picking, they are so poor. That is what
usually happens every season. But this sea-
son every strawberry patch yielded its full
quota. don't know Of any poor crops. On
each side of the road they slow good har-
vest, there al e no alternate blanks. That is
what is meant by general CROP
Now, as regards peaches it is just the op-
poste. They are good only in patches.
There are some very bad blanks here aud
there. The peach crop will be an uneven
one as FAR as have seen l have to go
down the road every now aud then, and that
is what the growers tell me, aud the evidence
l get looking at the orchards bears out that
report. .

Destiny.


He was young, and she was fair,
Kueeling at the altar there e.-.-
Full of hope their futute life,
Joined forever, man and wife.
Both began life's morn together,
When all was bright and sunny weather
Life was rosy, friends were true,
Love was fresh, and cares were few.
Soon the sun rose to its hight,
Making, with its glorious light,
Life on earth long summer seem,
Love, one long, delicious dream.
Then the sun began to wane,
And the brightness changed to rain,
The fowerets dropped, the air grew cold
Love, once so young, was growing old,
Black clouds gathered overhead,
Dying love dark shadows spread,
Then that day that dawned SO bright
Ended in moonless night.

A Good Law.

Senator Beck has introduced into the S n
ate bill for the prohibition Of Congressmen
while in tie Senate or House of Representa-
tiyes acting as the attorneys Of corporations.
The Bill is based upon the theory that the
Senator or Representative owes his time and
services primarily to hls constituency, indi-
vidualy and collectively, and that their
needs ale as rule not always indentical with
the needs of corporations or monoples.
The lightfulness aud righteousness OF such
bill is evident in the fact that the House or
the Senate being the c)urt 70 which the cor
poration sues for what it needs it is altoge-
ther wrong that any members of either
body should hold the dual position Of attor
ney or pleader and judge of the question at
one and the same time,

HancOcIk'S Tribute,

The finest tribute paid to the troops Of
Delaware that participated in the war for
the Union was that Of the glorious Hanco X
from whose mouth the soldierly compliment
comes with telling effect.

troops had charge of an important strategic
point. When one of his aides addressed Han.
cock in terms Of solicitude regarding the
fact, the general inquired what troops
held the point, and upon being informed re-
piled in the following stirring words =
"There is no trouble in that quartz r, for the

which he occupied during the Forty
eighth congress, and from which he de-
liyered his speech upon the tariff ques-

with statement that he would not have
