The Delaware ledger. (Newark, Del.) 1879-19??, 1886-04-24

The base ball season has fairly
opened all over the country. Interest
in the game has not abated, but rath-
er increased, as the attendance at each
championship game signifies. The
batsmen are in sympathy with 'stlik-
ing" yet the reports show that they
are not making many. A frst-class
striker--in fact a "sluggsr receives
alike big pay and big praise. This is
only another phase of strikes.
Nor LONG ago we understood that
the moneyed men of Newark were to
hold meeting. This meeting was
for the purpose Of offering induce
ments to enterprises to locate here.
This is all very good. To make New
ark grow we need ssmanufactu1ies Of
all kinds, but let us pause and see
what is already here' and what is be
ing done for them. Those that are
here need not be enumerated. We are
all acquainted with them. What has
been done toward helping these insti-
buttons along! Has any one man or q
corporation offered assistance in
time Of need? Have they received
the just encouragement that should
be awarded them? We venture to
say, No. Now let the proposed meet
ing be held, and before offering in
ducements to outsiders, help those
here. What we have, let us help
along, and do it cheerfully 1t is bad
to stand and whisper to your heigh-
Dor that such-and-such does not pay.
We must make it pay. And why not 7
THERE will be a few offices to be
filed at the general election in Novem-
Der. A Governor, Levy Comtmen,
Senators, Representatives, and a mum
Der of others of which there are
enough candidates to fill several hun
bred places. New Castle county wants
to nominate the man for Governor
but wether it will or not is hard tc
tell. There are plenty of anxious-to
be candidates, and as time rolls on
''the man" will come to the fore. We
think one of the Levy Courtmen will
come frem this town. He is a mar
eminently fitted to hold the position
and we think he is going to be ''thc
man" Who will be Sheriff? There
are many, very many who are clamor
ing for this Office 1t is a good posi-
ton. Why? Because the present
Sheriff captured about seventeen thou
sand dollars. There will be a fight fol
this Office, but we hope to see the bes
man win. OF course, many of oul
contemporaries will endorse theil
favorite, with the expectation of cap
turing patronage. We expect to pre-
sent our views and support whom W,
think most competent, as the tim,
draws on.
We BELIEVE the matter that disturb
ed the equilibrium of Delaware Colleg
has been settled. 1t could have beei
settled without the least trouble, as
in our estimation it amounted to but
triAe. We supposed that none Of tn
Faculty cared about the RerieaC, ant
cared less to see the matter that file
its pages The Reriac has been
, staunch advocate and earnest SUI
porter of Delaware College, and effort
should have been put forth to encom
age it, instead of trying to suppress
it. However, the little affair is sci
tied, of which we are glad to note
We also hope to see the Regielc liy
and boost the College
