Tho p. r. r.. Co.'S, Service.

The decisiod, Ieadeged recently by the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania that the
Pennsylvania Railroad and other roads are
subject TO the statute OF 1873 is, if it have
any value III it, of such far-reachng scope
that at first sight, the intuitive thought is
that the enactments are practically destruo-
tive of the great company's commercial in
terests. The enactment forbiis consolidi-
ton with other lines. It is patent to all
that the characteristic of the Pennsylvania
Road is its remarkable ability and record of
consolidating every minor liue within its
reach The reading of the law referred 10
prohibits tho Pennsylvania as well as all
other lines within the state from directly or
indirectly engaging in mining or manufact-
uring. What would the Pennsylvania Road
do were it separated from its large coal
mining industries in the State of Pennsyl-
vania
The law prevents this great corporation
from going into any other business than that
of common carrier, as its charter explains
The Pennsylvania has always considered
itself other than common carrier, in fact
as having certain privileges. What would
it do were it prevented from owning and run
ming its various steam boat and ferry lines

The Blair Bill.

States to manage their own domestic affairs,
when in speaking against the implied desire
of some of his fellow republican senators to
so maneuver the large appropriation for
school purposes mcditated uuder the pro-
visions of the pending Blair Educational
Bill, that the Federal government shall have
whole and sole management and d,sbursal of
the monies appropriated, when lie rebuked
the Senate in the following ringing wOrds:-

The knights OF Labor.

Mr. George L. McNeill of Massachusetts
thus speaks Of the mission of the Knights of
Labor.
The new form of movement known as the
Knights of Labor is the attempted concentra-
ton of all the forces of labor. 1t is armed
with the strike and boycott and yet holds
out the olive branch of arbitration. 1t teach
es hope of a peaceful solution. 1t holds in
check the mob aud at the same time it walks
the streets and byways, music ing its forces
under the banner of mutual assistance for
mutual good. Il lifts its voice in legislative
halls aud may soon be seated in the councils
women from the lust Of greed, of wealth and
passion. 1t is the labor movement of the
new century Of Liberty.
The future of this present form of organ
lied action depen Is not only upon the WIS.,
dom of its leaders. but upon the wilson OF
the well disposed among the wealthy. Never
ia the history Of the republic was the possess
sion of wealth under such heavy responsible
ity. Excessive display of excessive wealth is
now a crime against social order. The poor
may suffer and be still when all arc doing all
they can tn relieve, but feasting fools are in
danger when famine makes men desperate.
Safety to the republic demands regularity
of remunerative employment. Repression is
impossible. The tide of events can not be
turned backward. Organized labor must
ing force, aud all who have opportunity to
think must concentrate their full powers
upon those measures that will tend toward
the solution dr the problem of 'How to ill.,
crease the purchasing power of days work
without increasing the cost of production P''
THE REMEDY FOR THESE TROUBLES.
Unrestrainod competition is monopoly
and those who can mouopolze land machin-
cry, either OF production or distribution, are
responsible for enforced idleness. The cure
for dleness is leisure. The overw0rked arc
always undelpad, aud to be underpaid is to
be underIed in body and mind. The one
great step in the direction of restoring the
equilibrium between the power to produce
and the ability to consume is au immediate
reduction of the hours of labor. This meas.
ure is o. the line of the instinct of the poor
st and of the intelligence Of the wisest.
Let the Government of the United States
and the several state and municipal legisla
lures set the example Of short hours and higt
wages, giving employment 20 the largest pos
sible unnbsrs. Let employers deal with en-
ployees as with men having sqaal rights o.
recognition Letteachefs }sarn that abov,
tine rawsUl- rtuue-tifv,sr--.s higRsf law o
s justice and equity. Then yin labor mov'
onward aud forward, NOT as an army of de
structon, but as solidarity Of interests
towards the goal Of cooperative union, anC
the Republic Of states will then be a Repub
lie of industry and competition will move OF
in the path of united assistance.

Decorative Art.

One of the most important industries re-
Gently introduced into Wilmington is that
of art decoration as exempiGed by Messrs.
J. C. Fmu & SON of Philadelphia, in their
branch store at 6tO Market street.
House decoration very properly claims a
great deal OF attention just now, 1t is the
practical application Of Industrial art. In
all large cities this is a well understood
point We all have natural appreciation
of the value of beautiful colors, and some Of
us have taste sufficient to make choice of
appropriate ones when house furnishing and
house cleaning time comes in the Spring.
But there are new associations Of colors,
tie result OF the abors Of the best decorative
artists, tasterully and properly arranged to
suit tho requirements Of different people aud
their varied home furnishings, There is a
right aud wrong choice always. To gain
the nearest approximation, that is to find out
what comes closest to suitug the idea of
pretty aud tasteful decoration it is necessary
to ses the best goods in their varied tints
and designs In MeSsrs, Fnn's store some
of the most elegant and artistic tones and
effects eau be seen in articles intended for
wall decoration. These gentlemen make a
specially of that effective article "Lincrusta
Walton" 1t is impossible to describe its
beauty, suitability, and value as a per-
manent Substitute Tor wood in wainscoting.
The different designs in gold and embossed
leather make the most elective vesubule
and hall decorations possible. The richest
goods from their Philadelphia store are sent
: here and handsome designs and samples are
9 always on hand. Some very handsome En-
' glish patterns, manufactured expressly fol
a this firm, ard imported here are now fol
sale.

What the Cltizens say.

Quie Independent Of u Q Ilut after the
gamblers that infnst our city topic that
properly enough engages then .tention OF all
right-mnded ctizens, is the other question
brought up incidentally in the arrest of
McDermott.
The intensity of the disgrace is that citi-
zen of this common wealth against whom no
crime has been alleged is manacled in pub
lic and paradod in our thoroughfares in a
manner customary elsewhere ouIy with the
basest criminals.
We have some strong apoloyists for the iu-
stitution of the whipping post but who will
attempt to vindcate the moral phase of this
picture recently seen in our midst! 1t is claim
cd the law required it, that it is necessary that
the sheriff be sure of his man Do we mana
ac jury trying capital offence, when
that jury leaves the jury box for d nner, OF
as in some instances to attend church The
law requires and provides tl2t sufficient
guard, aiding the sheriff as deputies, watch
over the interests involved.
But in this case an OUTRAGE against the
sovereign rights aud dignity of citizenship
has been perpetrated in the name of the law
What contemplate Legislation this is !-the
sooner this ridiculous anomaly is Iectifed
the, better for the gnty aud good name oi
the, common wealth of Delaware.

The Season Opened.

"The Philadelphia, Chester and Whining
ton Steamboat Company" inaugurated the
river travel on Tuesday last.
The Steamer "Wilmiugton' is SO well
known to our citizens that the mere mention
OF the fact that the season is again open
cd will insure the Steamboat Co., the patron
age it so richly merits.
The ''Wimington' leaves hor wharf at a
very seasonable hour in the morning, and
reaches Philadelphia at a most excellent
nour to commence shopping. Passengers
are allowed in the City neatly seven full
hours which is ample time for making most
elaborate purchases.
The fare for round trip tickets is fifty cent
as against tie one dollar and ten ceuts arg
ed by the Pennsy lvauia Railroad Company
Independent of reasonable fare a ride upol
the river is both rcstful and inyigoratinE.
The genilemanly and udaccommodating corp
of officials, who did somuch to pvpularize th
steamer last summer, are again at the helm
The Wilmington will run every day, leav
ing Fourth street wharf at a. M, aud Il
46 noon. Returning, will leave Philadelphi
at 10 a. M, and p. m. The saloons o
board are comfortable, being heated b.

any hesitation about going to Philadelphi

PRICE TWO CENTS.

and that anyone who pays can enjoy the
advantage as well as Congressman. But
that is not all of the point involved, as the
recent decision by the Supreme Court i'm
plies. A railroad is a common carrier, IT
has no right to discriminate. If the general
public are willing tl pay the average rem
unerating rates that the Pennsylvania us
ually charges the public is entitled to the
full advantages Of railraad service without
discrimination against them or in favor Of any
who may offer premium, The Congressional
Express is atrain started for the special behoof
if privileged classes and the schedule railway
time arranges that it start exactly at tie
moment most suitable for the great mass Of
people to whom that exact hour of leaving
New York would be the greatest boon, and
the hour or so lat,r, the timo the general
public train starts, is a great Inconvenience
relatively speaking The fact is the people
are rudely shove aside their interests not
considered, and every facility given, not to
them, the people, who granted the franchise
to the Company, but to certain privileged
classes in whose favor this discrimination is
made.
There are other matters that this new de-
cision influences, but if it will just cause
the p. r. r., to realize that its first duty is
to the people to serve them as its franchise
clearly infers, as explained by the Supreme
Court, the law will have accomplished some
thing for popular rights.

Apprentice Designers.

The prescott term of the Drawing School
established by prominent W lmington ship
building aud iron manufacturing firms, at
thaInstitute Building, has c9sed this week.
This school cannot but be recognized as
ono Of the most important md practically
saAuabls educational conditt,ns ia the city.

simply explained in a few words. A Ger.
tain sketch or draft Of pleS of machinery
lies on table. It il the dtsign for some
,iace of work toat has to be made. Half a
dozen Of young apprentices il the machine
shop are looking at it. Heretofore, hardly
one of them would have had the slightest
conception Of its application. That is to say
they possessed no practical knowledge of
commencing work on the design, using the
scrap of paper as their guide, unless some of
the fOremen or overseers were with them and
had carefully explained beforehand what
the Lines and curves meant. Now, without
claiming, to any degree, that these young
men who have been attending the Institute
school this last term, are able to take hold
of any design that may come into the shop,
it may be said, at least, that most OF them
have some logical idea of what the various
curves, angles and projections mean, it is not
all closed book to them. They are able to
take up the design aud look at it with some
degree of intelligent criticism.
And this is the first right step. To possess
an intells gent idea of what one is doing IS the
most promising aud exhilarating condition
for young man to be in. Simple as the
idea may appear, how many of our young
mechanics and apprentices are in exactly
that position to-day? They look With pro-
found respect and awe at the glib, indiller.
ent manner with which the master mechanic
handles those seemingly intricate lines with
their nnumerable puzzlmg aresand tangenrs
, and wonder when the day win CONS when
tley too can d. ths same and be in a plsi-
