A Sag AcIoas appointment.

Mayor Elect Harrington by naming Major
swiggett fol- Chef Of the Police Department
has disarmed the incoming municipal ad-
ministration of all adverse criticism and at
the same time has dssipated to the winds
the suspicion that Mr.. Harrington had been
handicapped by unholy anti-eleotion alli-
ances.
The appointment of Mr.. Swiggett was
oomplimented upon every side and that eie-
ment of the Democracy which encouraged
Mr.. Harrington's election feet that their
party affiliations had not been broken for
pought.
Those Democrats who directly and indi-
rectly advanced the political interests OF
Mr.. Harrington hoped thereby to place the
municipal government upon higher plane
than oould have been reasonably expected
by the election of their party candidate, and
all that those Independent voters now ask is
that Mayor Harrington will not give our
citizens a disappointing administration.
If is also hoped that Mayor Harrington
will not odiumize his administration by
mugwumpian methods. He was elected as
Republicaraud Democrats will respect
and support him for the maintainance of his
political principles and as his Iarty can fur
nish ample material for all appointments it
would be unwise, inpolitic for him to skir-
mish in the Democratic ranks for police
patterns.
The Democrats who supported Mr.. Har-
rngton would soorn the charge that 1t was
done with the view of political gain and
would resent the imputation.

Floor Mating.

A good many people find ordinary
floor mating an excellent article to
lay between the wire-woven bed-spring
hospital spring as it is sometimes
called-and the mattress. The mat
ting keeps its place well, and the
accommodating dust is readily shaken
out of it. As floor covering, there
is rN economy whatever in buying a
a Aeap article. We have had consid-
cradle experience in the use of mat
ting, and find that it is much cheaper
in the long run to pay at the rate of
30 cents yard than to buy for IS to
20 cents. In low-priced mating the
web is uneven, and for it to wear well,
it must lie absolutely smooth and taut
upon the floor. But all things being
equal, | doubt if as much good service
can be had out of any floor covering
as out Of closely woven three-ply in
grain carpet.

A Delightful Trip.

A representative of THE WILMINGToNIAN
boarded the fine Steamer Braudywine one
sultry morning last week, for trip on the
river to Philadelphia. This noble steamer
cut loose from Fourth street wharf at
a. M, slipping quietly, but steadily along
with speed that few years ago would
have been deemed phenomenal among steam
boat men, making the trip from wharf to
wharf, including two stops, one at Hook
and the other at Chester, in two hours and
and ten minutes. 1t has not keen many
years since we thought the S. A. Folton swift
when she made the trip in 2.30. For a
luxurious, restful, comfortable ride, The trip
on the Brandywine exceeds all others. The
air was bracing free from the smoke and
dust incident to the city, making the lungs
to expand as if grasping for more capacity
to inbale this pure air. The hills and valleys
along the river arrayed in their summer suit,
was grand relief fIom the monotony Of
ihe city bricks and mortar On the whole
the trip is most enjoyable ole, and will
well pay in sanitary view: it gives the
lungs a chance for pure air, it gives the eyes
relief from monotony, it enables one to rest
and take in the beauties of the scenery at
the same time. This trip is of ess secial
benefit to sick children, and as the heated
term is so hard on babies 1t is well to take
advantage of river ride You net d not get
off, but simply make the round trip, this
will do the babies good as well as rest the
older folks. Try trip with Captain Wilson
and we are sure you will want to go again
