The following from the Philadel-
phia Record shows what the south is
doing:
"There is no trouble with the iron
furnaces and mills in Alabama. The
Birmingham Herald says they are
all running on good time and grind
ing outiron. The Birmingham Roll
ing Mill employs 1000 men, and
turns out 700 tons Of rolled iron per
day, shipping about 100 tons per
day to this city, New York and st.
Louis. The Alice Furnace employs
500 men, and makes 125 tons pig
iron daily. The two Sloss Furnaces
have an output of 210 tons daily.
Besides these great establishments,
in the near vicinity there are stove
works, tack works, steel works, and
rolling-mills and furnaces, all doing
a flourishing business and showing
that the iron industry is making
Roadway not only in its crude begin
ming but in the finer forms of manu-
facture. When the Southern steel
works get fairly under way the iron
establishments in the Northern
States may well look to their laurels
The cheaper raw material of the
South will cut the props from under
rival manufacturers elsewhere. They
will have nothing to fear from eithel
domestic or foreign rivalry"

THERE HAS been considerable
talk about the two counties of Sus-
sex and Kent going to the Repub-
licans. If they have a majority of
the votes legally cast, why SO much
talk? The blame for this turn as
suredly rests on some one. 1t has
been shifted about so much it seems
hard to locate it. The Saulsbury's
who have been lucky enough to
hold office for about thirty years,
were turned down at nomination
election. To reap revenge they as
sisted in defeating the Democrats.
This is one theory. To say the least
there certainly was a family quarrel
in Kent and Sussex counties, and
hence the result. If Mr.. Richard
SON is legally elected, and it looks
like it, why just keep up the quarrel
and the defeat will be greater il

To the Citizens of Newark and
Vicinity.
Being entire strangers to most of
you, tits but fitting, as we have open
ed Clothing and Tailoring Es-
Enlistment in the metropolis State
that we tell you who we are and
the kind of business we propose to
do.
At present we are running two
very large stores, one in Baltimore,
Nd, where we have been establish
ed for forty years and one in Wash
ington, d. g., where we have been
for fifteen years. In each place we
have scored a wonderful success.
This success we attribute to our
method of doing misunderstanding
dollars worth for every one spent
with US.
Business to be conducted proper
ly must be conducted on business
principles. The merchant must be
an economist, and scientist. He
must be an observer, and a student.
The old-fashioned way Of doing bus
mess is "played out" This is
modern day, and men, not only
merchants, but lawyers, doctors,
professionals in every life must be
experts.
The bare name of merchant"
has no significance. 1t is the bust
ness he does. The manner in which
he does it that gives him importance.
We will not be proud or stuck up.
We think, in fact know, that every
one does not do business as we do.
Our goods are all marked in plain
figures, from which there is no
deviation.
We propose to be first" last and
all the time Delaware Clothiers and
Tailors. We believe in the people,
we have confidence in them. That's
what brought us here.
When you know us better, we
are confident you'll believe in us.
There will be a sort OF Fraternal
Friendship.
Furthermore, we don't do a policy
business. That is, we don't smile al
one person and frown at another,
because we think there's difference
in their pocketbooks.
We are merchants who deal with
every one alike. The poor man;
dollar is as good with us as the ricf
mans 100 cents. We are polite t.
all. We are available to all. Tha
is the principle of our houses.
We are temporarily located a
