This brief review of the first year of
honest government will sufficiently illus
trate the successful administration Of
President Cleveland. 1t viii aisp serve
TO show the varied, formidable aud cor
rnpt character of the combination against
him. Public criticism of his edninistra-
ton must be taken, as appears by this
summary, with the following allowances:
l. 1t may be paid for in a party organ
at dollar to five dollars per line.
Q. 1t may be inspired by Legitimate po-
litical hostility.
8. It may be the malice of disap-
pointed office-seekers.
A. 1t may be from an owner of tele-
phone stock.
8. II may be the opinion of an operator
in or holder of Pacific railroad securities.
6. II may be the defence of an indi-
vidual or corporation out of pocket from
the failure of the steamship subsidy.
z. II may be one way of an enterpris-
ing Presidential candidate in reaching
out for a denomination.
s. 1t may have its origin in Mormon
apostle.
Q. 1t may come from the Roach lobby.
10, and last. 1t is pretty likely to come
from sources which have cause to de-
plore honest government.

WILMINGTON, Nd, Feb. 1.-THE all
important subject under discussion is
shall we have peaches? Following the
late cold snap nearly every grower was
ready to believe and assert his orchard
ruined for this year. Major Biggs, one of
the heaviest growers in this locality, in
dorsing the almost general first verdict,
consequently a general feeling of de-
preston pervaded this community, being,
as it is, SO largely dependent on this pro-
duct. l have taken much interest and
been very fortunate for several years in
giving the public information con-
corning this important fruit that
has invariably proved correct. Con-
tinuing to watch this interest
1 would say Just now that great destruc-
ton of buds from freezing has surely
occurred, but nothing like total destruc-
ton, as very many were willing to
believe in the scare that at first was like
a contagion. Doctor Crane, a larger
grower, with others, is now ready to adj
init that fair percentage of his trees
possess healthy, uninjured buds. This
applies more particularly to old orchards
as young trees have suffered mostly. l
think it safe to think, if nothing dis
astrous occurs, we may hope for mod
crate supply yet of peaches.

DELAWARE FRUIT EXCHANGE.
Annual Meeting of the Stockholders
at wyoming


at wyoming
Special Correspondence of Gazette and Journal
WYOMING, Feb. 10.-The annual meet
ing of the stockholders of the Delaware
Fruit Exchange convened in Aldrich
Hall at 1 o'clock to-day. The stock
WAS we'll represented by leading shippers
from the main shipping points through
out the Peninsula. The officers made
their annual reports showing the business
of the exchange has increased largely
over that of last year, and an immense
amount of labor has been accomplished
with the most gratifying results.
The financial statement of the secretary
shows the business done during the
season amounting to $74, 877.20, that the
organization has no Indebtedness and a
balance in the treasury. The average
price of peaches per basket at the ex-
change was 79s cents, while the average
price outside was 75a cents. The differ
ence of cost to buyers in having their
fruit handled through the exchange as in
the old method was from $l2 to SIS per
car in favor of the exchange method.
The secretary's report was very COM
prehensive, showing the transactions OF
the board for the entire year, and also
showing that there has been more accom-
plished in the way of systematizing and
regulating the entire business in bringing
buyers, opening new markets, procuring
better transportation facilities, and in
placing the handling of the goods at the
depots upon q more economical and
equitable basis than could or would be
accomplished without thorough organi-
cation.
The methods of the exchange attracted
buyers and growers everywhere and, in
response to earnest requests from leading
shipping points throughout the Peninsula,
the boardof directors have decided to estab-
lish branch offices at every point where
sufficient guarantees of cooperation could
be secured to warrant the exchange in
establishing such offices.
The following gentlemen were elected
directors for the ensuing year: J. q.
Brown, E. II. Bancroft, George H. Gil
derslieye, A. M. Brown and Joseph
Waugh of Wyoming, j. A. Taylor of
Magnolia, John j. Rosa and Charles
Barker, Milford; Thomas Bacon, Laurel;
Hon. E. u. Martin, Seaford; W. Ii. Bur-
mite, FELTON,; Col. G. w. Whitaker, Dover
and Al l.. Hudson, Clayton.
William z. Oorsa of Milford, and
| William Dean of Newark, were elected
representatives of the exchange to the
\ National Agricultural Association conven-
4 ing in New Yock City the 10th, 18th and
\ 18th of the present month.
Immediately after the adjournment OF
\ the stockholders meeting the new board
Y of directors met and elected Joseph
Waugh, president of the Exchange; e. III.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 1.-THE heavy rain
which prevailed for the greater part of
last night and all the forenoon has caused
an overflow of that part of the city
bordering on Jones' Falls. Harrison
street, from Gay to Baltimore, and Sara
toga street, from Gay to Holiday, are
under water, and the first floor of all the
houses are flooded. In Harrison street
the water is four feet deep. Most of the
occupants of the houses had sufficient
warning to remove their property, and
the damage probably will not be great.

Great excitement is reported among the
people ON and about the cattle range of
the Kansas and New Mexico Cattle Com
pany, in northwestern New Mexico and
southwestern Colorado, because of the
killing and wounding Of sheep herders
by cowboys employed by the cattle COM
pany. Governor Ross, of New Mexico,
has offered rewards ranging from 300 to
$500 for the capture of the perpetrators
of the outrages. The governor has re-
piled to communication from e. Car
isle, president of the company, that the
testimony of Carlisle's own employees
(talsen recently in police court) showed
plainly that they were the aggressors.
The governor also recites that in the trial
of some of the cowboys for murder their
acqui.tal was brought about by the ter.
rorizing of the court and witnesses by
their armed companions. The managers
of the company, two brothers named Car
isle, are said to be unnaturalized Eng
| lishmen, and II isl believed they will ap
peal to the BritisH minister.
