over-stepping the franchise is duly made from

This decision arose in litigation in which
the Pennsylvania Railroad was interested
The announcement is now made in Will
mington that the Pennsylvania road proposes
raising the price on beef! a large number
of our citizens cttriously inquire what on
earth the Pennsylvania railroad has to do
with beef Natural enough to ask the ques-
ton. The Pennsylvania railroad is con
cerned in a large butchering business. 1t
owns and operates extensive stockyards in
Philadelphia, importing large quantities of
cattle from the West, and, Strengthening them
in its own yards in Philadelphia manages, to
make good income thereby.
1t seems then that this big railroad, in ad-
diton to owning and operating freight
eamship lines, owning aud operating exten.
sive coal mine, is now revealed as oW ling
and operating butchers shambes sufficiently
extensive to have the power at any moment
of raising the price of beel from four to seven
cents in the pound What other industry
will not this cormoraut-like corporation soon
envelop i'll its ayaricions meshes. Is the
butcheriug trade to be taken from our VIII
mington butchers and the industry to be de-
stroyed here because this railroad, seeing
with what facility and economy it can ship
''eattle on the hoof' from Chicago to its
yards in Philadelphia, has the power, the
unhindered facilities and the greed also to
carry on this trade on its own account just
in the manner of private butcher
1t is bad enough to see all our local trade
that properly belongs to the store keepers
along Market street being gradually absorb

Waunamaker, but it is still worse to see the
Individual trades and industries of the citi-
zens attacked in this way.
Surely such encroachments as this would
come under the "uneamed increment" clause
by which a corporation thus overstepping its
franchise makes itself liable TO forfeit of its
franchise.
We shall soon probably see the Pennsyl-
vania railroad company erecting its own
shipy ards building its own morocco factories,
buying up every foot Of river aud wharfage

The New CITY Council.


In little more than two months il will be
Time to elect a new City Council. The pres
ent is the moment however fJr all good citi-
zens to take into serious consideration this
most extremely important munich al bust

This is the time for them to act. 1t will
be too late the first week in June, when cleo

preached to fluid to your dsmay that the
only choice of municipal candidate lies be-
tween the names Of some two or three equal

cal hacks who make a business of living off
the public who have no business of thcr
own, who, too idle to make an honest living

existence at the public trough

Ito the disgrace Of the city of Wilmington.
They are all well known, Let every deoelt

men will approach you with bland smiles

this moment, for this is the critical time with
them. They know their positions are in dan
ger.
These men, during their past term Of office
have treated the wishes and known opinions
Of the citizens, on numerous questions, with
neglect and often with open derision. They
have run matters to suit themselves, that is
to say their own pockets On private and

Our School Curriculum.

Our School Curriculum.
Much has been said lately, indeed a great
deal is being said all the time about the high
pressure maintained in regard to school
studies.
This is practically true in regard to math-
ematics Last week at the government com
petitve examinations for post office appoint
ments in Philadelphia the mathematical
questions were limited to percentage
This fact should be text to our school
authorities, and, we hope, may have some
influence in modifying the unnecessary men
tai pressure placed upon the pupils attend
ing the public schools 1t may be asserted
without any fear of wor.hy contradiction
that not one in Thousand of the children
attending our public schools will have need,
in after life of higher mathematics than per-
centage.
Yet at this moment that child who has
arrived at the age of from thirteen to four
teen years and has not at that time been
initiated into the mysteries of percentage in
the public schools forms an instance of eX-
ception rather than rule.
Why not call a halt then, and do some
rational work Let the scholars study more
slowly and thoroughly
Percentage is the poaS aStnorum Of the
School-boy's arithmatic. 1t is slow and
dificult roadway even to the smartest and
best pupil. Ia NJ school can this most i'm
portaut part Of the arithmetic be scamped
over Yet in this city children are given a
number Of examples in this difficult study to
accomplish at a single recitation which the
writer would be Il I'd to see the teachers
them, elvei OF their superintendent demon
strate off-hand and intclligently onthe black
hoard at the next Teachers Institute in this
city. 1t is time this pretence Of study were
stopped. The work, pretended mental plbu-
lam, is but hall digested, it will end in men
tai d,sa>te as it is f, ared it has already in
some cases in moral, for some of the child
ren, there is a suspicion, often deceive their
teachers and use the book at unseen moments
for aid
! Under any circumstances it is ridiculous tu
see this unnecessarily lengthy mathematical
curriculum, up to square root and equa,
lions, saddled upon the mentalities of chill,
dren whose average destinies will probably
limit them to intellectual problems such as
the correct meausurement of tub of butte
from Mill Greek Hundred or how to make a
safe deal on bushel Of Irish potatoes frou
Christiana Hundred

4 Shameful Year.

The first su-ealled Democratic admiuistra-
tion that has been granted the possibility of
regning in Washington for a quarter of
century Of American history has just closed
its first year incumbenuy.

ing political parties, Democratic and Repub-
lican, never has there been exhibited such a

be done is to draw veil, an impenetrable
curtain, over the series of his unfortunate
foreign appointments, the tangles with f1r-
eign powers, the mistakes in treaty making,
his gratuiio ious Insults to friendly powers, and

1t is sorry showing for the first year Of
Democratic administration. There is no ev-
ilence this moment that the voice of the
people which declared Nov. 1884, that Dem
ocratic principles shall rule in Washington,
has been obeyed by the administration. We
have no more Democratic president at the
White House than at the time of Garfield or
Arthur

The Presidents Position.

Undoubtedly the Presidents position is
untenable in moral sense, in withholding
information such as is asked for from the
people, The cry of presidents preroga-
tive is as objectionable, and as radically
obnoxious to-day in our ears, as it was over
two hundred years ago in the English Par
lament when that mistaken and mislud
prince, Charles |, Of England reiterated the
same cry Of ''prerugative" in the ears Of the
persistent and independent popular represen.
tatives Of the people gathered at Westminis-
ter BUT, as George William Curtis said,
last week There is no reason why the
documents snould not be placed where the
representatives of the people could see them.
The privacy surrounding the reasons for
changes was the outgrowth of bad tradi-
tion, and the PRESENT agitation was move
i'll the right direction. 1t would bring abott
the needed reform. or that he was GER
tain.
Their was similar tradition in regard to
the electors. The pewcr Of electing Pres-
dent was originally given to the electors
with the understanding that they should
vote for whomsoever they saw fit Tradi-
tion, however, had made it obligatory upon
each elector TO vote as his party wished him.
Time had made this tradition stronger than
law. Thus, in 1875 when it was suggest
the difficulty then existing by voting for
Tilden, the stlong feeling aroused convinced
all that the public neld this tradition sacred.
Again, in 1884 after MIR. Blane's nomna-
tion, some Of the republican electors with
drew because they did not intend to vote for
him, aud others were appointed in their
place. This showed that any elector choos-
ing to assert his right to vote as he wished
would be regarded as traitor to his party
and his county"
The Presidents prerogative of refusing to
make public his reasons for appointments
and refusas is tradition, but one thatpublic
sentiment is now transforming into a law
which Will entirely abrogate the exercise of
such runc5on, and as Mr.. Curtis says the
affirmative can be the only reply as to the
people conception Of their right to become
cognizaut Of the contents Of all application
papers and verbal applications for appoint
ments.
Perhaps, said Mr.. Curtis, the President is
justified in refusing to make confidential
communications lublic. But his refusal
should only apply to such as have already
been made 10 him--nis coutse in the future
is clear, and, if lie has the disposition tc
consider public opinion, will be very easy.

After all its noisy, blatant squealing fol
the last month or two. and the columns and
columns of print devoted to the so-called
Florida Land Frauds, the reply from the op-
puste side,t G settlers themselves, has come
from Florida, in the shape OF a remonstrance
to the New-YOrk Herald for its one-sided
partial clamor. This remonstrance is sig
ned by forty bona fide settlers. They say
"We the undersigned are ourselves the entic-
ed. We ourselves constitute the settlement

prominence to telegrams of damaging ma

time drawing considerable attention from the
public, the words in question are only too
likely to remain fixed aud vivid before the
minds of those who read.
We have not been duped, we have not
been msled We judged for ourselves pre-
vious to purchasing \ We think
that you will admit that not even a land

hood there We hope chat in justice to your
paper, your readers, and above all the gen.
tIemen whose character has been maligned

mitigate to some extent the damage which is
likely to accrue to an honorable man-tinan-
cial damage, not social; his friends and
