The .Jaunt to Elizabeth.

Ii the City Council By sending an embassy
to Elizabeth can succeed in inducing the APP
parently disgruntled Singer company to
change their mind and come and settle here
in Wilmington it will be great achievement
let them essay the undertaking by all means.
The fruit is worth pluckiug.
We have great confidence in the propita
tory powers Of the City Fathers. The bland
shments of Blake are the admiration Of
the country side, aud it wonld indeed be a
disappointment if that gentleman's snave and
attractive mien did not capture the naughty
merchant princes Of Elizabeth at sight.
But, seriously, a success in this projec.
would be the greatest boon to our city. We
know Of no advantages or concessions other
localities may offar that Wilmington could
not do otherwise. We are, essentially,
manufacturing community. The
supposition is that labor is cheaper here
than in Elizabeth. There is little doubt
that the ctlzans would heartily endorse q
municipal committee iu making as large
concessions to the Singer Company as they
lawfully can. Tie prospect OF such larg,
weekly disbursements Of cash as would fol-
low the establishment Of such an extensiv,
labor employing concern opens up yista .
business aud prospective circulation of dol
ars among our stOrokeepers enough To max

Senator Eustis Attack ON the Ad

ministratiOn.
The Louisiana Senator made strong
speech against the suspension of the coinage.
His condemnation of the Administration,
while more digniied than that of Senator
Beck, was equally severe. He compared the
financial policy of France, with that of the
United States. In France, he said, public
office was regarded a public trust. In the
United States, if the statements made by
Senator Beck were true, public office was a
public trust only to limited extent. The
executive department, he declared, main
tained an attitude Of unfriendliness toward
the legislative department, and the financial
policy of the latter as regards the silver
coinage had never been fairly tested. Its
intent and spirit had been thwarted by par
tiality and discrimination.
The Administration, he declared, would
have been in a stronger position to withstand
attack had it been guided by the spirit which
animated the legislative policy. The execu-
tive department, Senator Eusts ayerred, had
Disseminated in favor of the bondholder and
against the people in executing the law. The
action of the President and Secretary Man
ling Il, opposing silver was termed a dds
loyal practice" and if evils should follow
the continuance of the silver coinage tht
responsibility would rest with the President
in opposing silver. Senator Eutis in thes'
strong expressions undoubtedly voiced tn,
sentiments of a majority of his party.

II there be any prospect whatever of success
the idea of City Council of sending a deputa-
tion to Elizabeth is in our eyes signally
businesslke and timely. They should have
the best wishes of the whole community for
their success.

Strong Counsel.

The association of Senator Gray with Levi
@. Bird esq, as counsel for Isaac S. Talley
serves due notice upon the State that an
herculean effort will be made for the vindi-
cation of the slayer of j. Wesley Handy.

sepa,or N,orean's Resolutions.


Senator Morgan's resolutions, intro
duced into the Senate on Monday and re-
ported in our dispatches on Tuesday,
rather camplieates the issue between the
Senate and the President as raised by the
majority report Of the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee. Doubtless the
Republican Senators, when they pre-
pa ed that report aud the accompanying
resolutions, did not expect to be con-
fronted with the Interpretation given them
By Dir. Morgan. They expected, of course,
that the minority of the Judiciary Com
mittee would make report, and that then
the issue as presented by the two reports
would be discussed.
II Mr.. Morgan's resolutions are adopt
ed, it looks as if nothing could be done
with the report OF the Judiciary Commit
tee until after the investigation for which
they provide. 1t is not easy to see how
their adoption can consistently be
avoided. 1t is true that they are
not complimentary to the judiciary
Committee, for they assume that
that committee did not fully compre-
bend what it was doing when it present
ed resolutions condemning the Attorney
General for refusing to send to the Senate
all papers on file In his Office relating to
the Durkin case, and asserting that in re-
fusing he was guilty of a violation Of his
Official duty and OF committing an ofense
that was subversive of the fundamental
principles of the government.
Mr.. Morgan is right in wanting to know
whether the Senate proposes to condemn
the Attorney General without giving him
hearing. The adoption of the majority
report OF the Judiciary Committee would
virtually be verdict OF guilty against
him on charges Of very grave charac-
ter-so grave indeed that If we'll founded
they would justify his impeachment.
Senator Edmunds, who is Chairman of
the Judiciary Committee, and doubtless
the author of the report and resolutions
which that committee sent to the Senate,
is recognized as a very able lawyer, and
1t is rather remarkable that he should
have presented a report to the Senate
which makes serious charges against a
leading officer of the government, and
proposed that the Senate should say that
the accused to speak in his own defense.
Mr.. MOrgan's resolutions propose a
pretty general investigation, not only of
tue charges against the Attorney General,
but also of the question whether the Sem
ate has any right to the information on
which removals are based. No doubt the
Democratic Senators will support these
resolutions, and if enough Republican
Senators can be obtained to pass them the
report and resolutions of the Judiciary
Committee will have to take a place of
secondary Importance, at least for the
present. 1t is very doubtful, however,
whether any Republican Senators can be
counted on to break through party lines
on a question of so partisan a character.
The statementwas made in our dispatches
that several Republican Senators approx
ed OF MIR. MOrgan's resolutions. They are
liable to think one way, however, and vote
another.

Robbing the Ornhans.


Pennsylvania seems TO have more Of the
class of men who will steal coppers from
a dead mans eyes than any other State
in the Union. 1t hasn't been very long
since the superintendent OF the Philadel-
phia almshouse was detected In rObbing
the paupers. AS he told no tales it was
never discovered whether he had any
partners in his nefarious business OF not.
The Philadelphia Record has just made
exposures Of greater cupidity and moral
rottenness in connection with the sol
diers' orphan schools of the State than
was shown in the Philadelphia almshouse
case.
Ever since the close OF the war OF seees-
sion Pennsylvania has had schools espe-
cially devoted to the education and care
OF the INDECENT orphans of those OF her
sons who took Part in that conflict. There
are several of these schools in different
parts Of the State, and they are all under
private management. The State pays for
the care and education of the orphans
$3.50 each, and thus far has disbursed
nearly $4,000, 900 for this charity.
The story is that there is a syndicate
which draws all the money and manages
the schools. The object is, of course, to
make money, and that object, it seems, is
attained. AS the amount of money drawn
from the State depends upon the number
Of children in the schools, the State is
secured for soldiers orphans, and chill
dren are found in the schools who have
no right to he there.
The profits OF the syndicate are said to
average about $4,000 year. According
to the Record the children are not pro-
vided with educational facilities, are
poorly dressed and nearly starved. The
aim Of the syndicate is to feed the chill
dren at cost of less than 1Oc. each a
day. They are required to wear the same
clothes winter and summer, and to sleep
four in a bed. IL can be readily under
stood from this statement that the or
phans have a pretty hard time of 1t.
That their death rate is large, and that
they suffer from cold and from the lack Of
sufficient food lie not TO be wondered at.
However, the Pennsylvania Legislature
is to blame for the wrongs and sufferings
they endure. 1t could hardly help know
ing that without State supervision very
large part OF the money meant for the or.
phans would find it's way into the pockets
Of those who are little, II any, better than
thieves. The thing to be done now Is to
put those who have been robbing the or
phsns into the penitentiary as soon as
possible, II there is any way 10 put them
there.

The attempted assassination Of United
States District Attorney Dickson, at Salt
Lake city, by the son and otner relations OF
George Q. Cannon, Is pretty good indi-
cation OF the present temper Of the Nor
mons. II they were not restrained by the
fear OF the consequences there isn't
shadow Of doubt that they would under
take to drive all Of the Gentiles out OF
Utah Territory, and they would not hesi-
tate TO use violence.
Several polygamists have been con-
Victed lately, among them George Q. Can
non, and they are, therefore, wrought up
TO a high pitch of excitement and are
ready to commit almost any crime. The
fact that the Federal officers are being re-
viled and attacked is good evidence the
officers are doing their duty. With good
and faithful officers the law against Po-
lygamy appears to be more effective than
it WAS thought it would be.
There was a report few days ago that
there were Mormon agents in Mexico
looking for a location for Mormon set
Element. 1t sincerely to be hoped that
they found what they sought, and that all
the polygamlsts of Utah will seek BONES
in Mexico. While we wish Mexico no
illluck we are perfectly willing that she
should have all the polyg amists in this
country. Her way OF dealing with those
who become obnoxious to the government
Is rather more summary than our way is,
and If she cannot get along with the po-
lygamists she will not be long in finding
way to get rid OF them.
The men who assaulted District Attor-
ney Dickson should not be dealt with
lightly. They should be made ex-
amples of to the full extent Of the law.
II the least leniency is shown assassins
at Salt Lake assassination will soon be-
come common there. The authority of
the government will be treated with con-
tempt, and all who are not in sympathy
with the Mormon leaders will be driven
from their homes, or murdered. Let
Dickson's assailants be dealt with firmly,
and the tendency tOviolence which is now
becoming apparent Will be checked.

The Railroad to Tallahassee.

Messrs. +. A. Crawford, r. S. Williams
and G. w. Saxon, a special committee
appointed by the citizens of Tallahassee
for the purpose Of securing assistance
from the business men of Savannah for
the proposed railroad from Thomasville
to Tallahassee, arrived here last eve
ming. They left Tallahassee at Z
o'clock Yesterday morning in a buggy,
and drove across the country to
Townsville, and there took the cars
for this city. This shows that in point of
fact Savannah and Middle Florida are
pretty close together, but for all business
purposes they are far apart because OF
the want of railroad facilities. The COM
mittee proposes to call upon the mer-
chants and railroad officials OF Savannah
and ask them to help build the road.
Tallahassee has contributed $50, 900,
and about $4,000 in lands has
been subscribed along the proposed
line. A few thousand dollars more
will make up sufficient amount to grade
and tie the road. With that done there
will be no difficulty in getting a company
to iron and operate it. There is not
business man in This city who is seeking
trade, who will not make q good invest
ment by contributing towards the build
ing OF this road. The trade of the coun-
try tributary to it has been gradually
drifting away from Savannah. This road
will bring it all back and, besides,
will influence great deal more'in this d.
rection.
1t can be built at once with the assist
ance that Savannah can we'll afford to
give, and to-day is the time for this city
to act in the matter Let the Tallahassee
committee be given substantial encour-
agement. Let Savannah and Tallahassee
join hands in this enterprise ana push it
to success. They both have a deep inter-
est in it.

The Problem at San Francisco.

The movement against the Chinese on
the Pacific coast threatens 60 eliminate
in very serious trouble in the near future
at San Francisco. The Cinnamon are
gradually being driven from all the inte-
rior towns and villages, and are making
their way to that city. They have no.
where else to go. Although comparatively
little has been heard about the move
ment against the Chinese since the Seat
tie Outrages, it has not lost any OF its
force or popularity. Little has been heard
about it because it has been conducted
more quietly, and at points OF compare
lively little Importance. 1t is general,
however, and means that all the Chinese
haV got to go, unless something is done by
the government to protect them.
But what are the Cinnamon to do at
San Franciscan There is no room for
them there. Before the migration to that
city began there were more Chinese there
than was agreeable to the people. In
deed, the feeling against them was quite
strong, especially among the mechanics
and common laborers. II the feeling to-
wards the Chinese was hostile before the
movement against them began, what
would It be now when the city lie being
overrun by them, and what will it soon be
when thousands more reach there from
all over the Pacific coast territory There
is no work in San Francisco for such an
immense number of unpopular laborsrs,
aud as they will probably steal before
they will starve, condition OF affairs is
probable compared TO which the Seattle
trouble will be a very small affair.
OF course the San Francisco merchants
cannot AFFORD 10 send thousands OF China
men back TO China. What, then, is 10 be
dOnef The government might undertake
10 colonise them in Alaska. Perhaps
Mexico wouldn't object to receiving them.

Lord, Thou hast led us as Of old
Thine arm led forth the chosen race
Through foes that ragged, through floods that
rolled,
To Canaan's far OF dwelling place.
Here is Thy bounteous table spread,
Thy manna falls on every field,
Thy grace our hungerIng soul hath fed,
Thy might hath been our spear and shield.
Lift high Thy buckler, Lord of hosts!
Guard Thou Thy servants, sons and sires,
While on the goddess heather coasts
They Light Thine Israel's altar fres
The savage wilderness remote
shall hear Thy works and wonders sung;
So from the rock that Moses smOte
The fountain OF the desert sprung.
Soon shall the slumbering morn awake,
From wandering stars of error freed,
When Christ the bread Of Heaven shall break
For saints that own q common creed
Tho walls that fence his hocks apart
Shall crack and crumbIe In decay,
And every tongue and every heart
Shall welcome in the newborn day,
Then shall His glorious Church rejoice.
