Why He Got Married.
Boston Record.l

Silas is country character who
means well. He tries ia earn living,
and thinkers around" at odd jobs and
chores and whatever he can get to do,
but he works good deal as he talks,
with a painful drawl that is very sug-
gestive of that state of natural restful-
ness which his ilk call "born tired"
Silas came to mend the fence the other
day for one of his patrons in the subur-
ban village where he belongs, with a
peculiar air of festivity about him. He
had on bright new neck-tie of blue
Japanese silk, and his honest face was
covered by an expansive smile all the
time that he was receiving his orders.
"You seem happy, Silas," said Mr..
Blank, with some curiosity, when he
had finished about the fence.
ID "Ya-as," drawled Silas. "Ya-as, I'VE
been gittin' married this mornin'."
Married! You? Why, Silas, man
alive, what on earth have you done
that for? You can't support yourself
as it,"
"Wull," said Silas, II ken pooty near

pity if she can't help some."

rable photographic chart with rhetorical ill

exchange structures Of America and Europe

milo view of these splendid buildings of our
nineteenth century.
No finer object illustration could be given
of the march of commercial greatness, in
peed grandeur.
Contrastedy too, the characteristics OF
different peoples is pleasantly brought
to mind. The gorgeous classic OF
the Latin and semi-Latin races-the
Paris Bourse and that of Brussels! How
they contrast with the much more modest
but substantial structure of the Bank of En-

What shame too that the splenid edifc,

defaced, in the view Of its glorious facade

PRICETwOCENTS.

nent couple as the son Of Duke of Argyll and
Lady Colin Campbell is legitimately enough
looked upon as an item of news, but that the
incident should bring out In all it's filthy
trail the detailed array of assertions as found
in the foiiegn dispatches aud lily reproduc-
ed here in public print is fact to be regret
ted.
The story in its entrey dare not be read
aloud in the home circle.
1t is more objectionable narration than
that of editor Stead aud the Pail Mall Gazette.
Ia the latter case Mr.. Stead plead the ex-
cuse (whether it was worthy one or not)
that as the public was to be the judge mole
particularly than tue jury sas to the moral
position he had taken, be therefore considered

ietails in the widely read London journal OF

Still a Difficulty.

In its issue of the 25th ulto, the Southern

ties, az they appeared to the public eye, from
the feet of the cultured president of Colum-
bia College.
Still, our esteemed ootemporary leaves DR..
Woodrow, or more exactly, tho president of
the college, at variance with the Board OF
Directors and the majority of the local body
Of Presbyterian Synods. When such bodies,
which prima .facis are entitled to decent
bearing from christians, place themselves in
the autagonistic position as presented in DR..
Woodrow's case, while on the part of the
latter We have solely his own verbal state.
ment that she belives the teachings of the
Bible and the doctrines OF the Presbyterian
standards as firmly az any man living, "back-
ed up by the endorsement of Board which
subsequently changed its opinion on DR..
Woodrow's course, what is the christian
world to do2
We have not taken the liberty of asserting
that The Doctors views are wrong, or that
they are inconsistent with Presbyterian or
thoidoxy.
Simply in seeking the standard of rscitude
between two contestants it seems pardonab
to suppose that that condition is possible of
discovery embedded in the collective opin-
ion Of august bodies such as the Synods and
the Board of Directors rather than in the in.
dividual conception of one person, no matter
OF what scholastic emnence he may be.
Our esteemed cotemporary when using the
simile Of the Justice Of the Supreme Court
and the Legislature has placed the Boald of
Din ctors iu the iole of ''lhe lawless men,"
should those bodies refuse the president of
Columbia College hearing.
We judge from our esteemed cotemporary's
state ments that DR.. Woodrow would prefer
TO be expelled by "fawless men" than to
send in resignation without being first
granted hearing.

A Plank for the Revision.

As plank for the new constitution let us
suggest the fullowing--that it be illegal to
hold an election, State, municipal, school or
Federal, in lager beer saloon or any premi.
ses whore intexcahts are licensed to be sold.
The only objection to the above worth con-
sidering is that certain reputable hotels or
inns which hold licenses for the sale of in
toIicants, being places of public resort where
voters go for dinner, are naturally available
as voting premises, and are sometimes used
when private houses cannot be hired ior cleo
tion purposes.
But every voting precinct has school
house. In the name Of deceuoy and expe-
dieucy then let the school officers of dis
trict where no other alternative is available
than lager beer saloon offer the use Of the
schoolhouse for the one day.
Respectable citizens are sverse to the in
dignity of being compelled to enter foul
smelling beer saloon for any reason whatev.
or, and especially when exercising the pub.

Council and the Dredging Company

NouhSh ANU sho Ia SuS"b COMPANY
II is not very inspIrlt,ng picture for tax
payers to see the city mulcted in the heavy
costs as WAS decided In the Courts
Wednesday last.
1t is still more depressing however to have
revealed to the pnhic eye the apparently un-
worthy, indeed ridiculous ard unjust plea
upon which the City Solicitor dragged the
case against the Dredging Company into
Court.
Upon what just grounds City Solicitor
Turner rested his case it is impossible to
imagine.
As far as testimony went it appeared that
City Council esssyed, in this case, by piece
Of sharp practice to AVOID the payment of
just debt.
The contract was completed, virtually so,
as far as conditions would allow. What re-
mained unfinished of the contract was the
filling in of a certain bulkhead or pier the
accomplishment of which was adjudged un-
necessary or unadvisable by both palties to
the contract inasmuch as until the city had
erected che structure needed to keep the
mud and concrete in place, the filling in
would only be swept away by the following
tide.
This was not an unwise thought. Both
PARTIES agreed that this filling in should not
be done though part OF tie original con-
tract.
But now our City Solicitor srses In court
and innocently aud mildly asks that the
money, already thrice promised by Council,
be not payed, on the plea that the contract
is not finished
Was there ever more preposterous plea.
However, it met with a prompt opinion
from tho jury. And now the city must pay
It's just debts in that quarter at least.
But who will pay court costs in the mat
ter?
Any bakers dozen of the people could
have told tho City Solicitor that the case OF
the Dredging Company is just one. Not
an individual in tho city doubted it.
Why then was the city put to this court
expensea -
What will the taxpayers say to this VEIL
turesome expenditure. The peoples busi-
ness aud peoples money should not be risk
ed ane hszsrded in this manner.
Why is it, at any rate, that respectable
business men and companies Of this city who
honestly embark in aud accomplish good
work for the city are not paid without har-
ing to go into court to get their due.
This should not he So 1t is wrong both
ways. Both as regards our b, sness people
and the municipal council.
AS far as the latter goes this method of
conducting public affairs is neither decent
nor respectable.

lie thoronghfares.
In a minor way We have the identical
trouble in Wilmington.
Traffic and business is increasing at tre-
mendojs rate here. The railway companies
are daily needing more room, mora surface
facilities.
Business must not be stopped. But what
might oe stopped is the granting by City
Council to any Railway corporation the
right to laying rails at surface grade.
1t seems harsh thing to require any rail-
road to go to the expense of eevating its
track at street crossings But that is what
we must eventually demand. 1t is the inev-
table. Why not do it now

Another New Industry.

In addition to the long list Of new indus
tries recently located in Wilmington as de-
scrbed by E5ery EOening, we hear upon good
authority that the Wilmington Oil and
Lel,her Company has decided to move its
Tat ming Factory from Hatteras to this city.
All arrangements for the change are COM
pleted, and within the coming week the ma
ohinery and apparatus will bs placed aboard
shooner for shipment to Wilmington.
The probable location of the tsnnery in
this city is the Grenier Building, on Fifth
Street, next tbe John G. Baker Morocco fac.
tory.
The company has experienced unusually
good success in their fishing operations the
past season. Their prepared skins are declar-
ed to be unequaled as marketable article
This is proved in the fact that they have re-
ceived overtures from certain parties to take
their whole seasons catch, 5000 raw skins.
Tne prospects of this Wilmington industry
are undoubtedly propitious. The sale of the
porpoise oil and fertilixing matter more than
covsrs working expenses at Hatterss, leaving
the green skins, were they sold in that cen.
diti0n, IS a clear cash gain.
Ii is understood slso that the Pennsylvania
Railroad and the government Navy Yard al
Norfolk intend giving the porpoise oil trial
The company has also received an order frou
a Canadian firm for large number o.
skins.
II is understood that DR.. West will super
intend the tanning department here.

The Ocean Mails.

The quarrel between the English Post
Office Department and the Transatlantic
Companies is quite an interesting item.
Facts have developed that demonstrate the
American ocean postal arrangements to be
superior to the British.
This is proved in the fact that our Post
master at New York makes up European
mails, sending them to England as often as
five or six times week whereas they come
from England but twice, at most three times
a week.
This is accounted for by the fact that our
government has an open contract, or 'fres
hand'' clause in its mail contracts to send
mail bags to Europe by any of the fastest
ocean racers that may happen to be 10 the
port OF New York at the time the foreign
mail is made up.
The English postal officials, on the con-
trary. have hitherto had lopg term contracts
for bi-weekly service with the Cuuard and
White S ar companies. The term just ex.
pired. The cause of trouble undoubtedly Is
that the English authorities have asked
more frequent delivery Of mails and at
lower rate. The CunsIders and the White
Star line have refused the service and copse.

Railroad Accidents in the City.

Railroad Accidents in the City.
The ,ecords show a gradual increase, year
by year, in the number of accidents at the
street crossings where the railroad tracks
are at grade.
Business is increasing, population is in-
creasing, and the railroad companies are
laying more tracks at street crossings as
their business ani traffic increases.
Keeping regularly ahead Of these figures
grade crossings.
It. has been shown that these fatal figures
increase with uuerring exsctness.
In Jersey city the records of the grade
crossing fatalities are as follows: In 1877
there were twenty deaths resulting from
railroad accidents at street crossipgs; in
1873. twenty four; 1870, forty-hve; 1880,

are about sixty, which indicates that the
