WILMINGTON CITY is afflicted with
strikes. Carpenters, stonemasons,
bricklayers, plasters and hod-car-
riers, want more money and less
work. Some are acceding to the de-
mands while others have refused.
1t seems the mighty and much
feared plumber has not entered the
list, but may do SO, though it must
be admitted his prices are about as
high as the public will stand. The
boss carpenters say they will fill lin
fact have done SOY the strikers places
with men from neighboring towns
and from the large shops in the city.
The trouble came at a time when
considerable work was under way,
and for this reason some demands
had to be acceded to. In all pro-
liability everything will be running
smoothly before another week closes.

THE WATER QUESTION.

The question of a water supply
for this town was pretty thoroughly
discussed by Council Wednesday
night. The report of T. F. Arm
strong, Esq, chairman of a special
committee to inspect the workings
OF the water works in Smyrna,
Dover, Middletown, Del, and Havre
de Grace, Nd, was clear and COM
prehensive, and met with much
favor. All arguments clearly show
ed the entire practicability of plac-
ing water in this town. The Balti
more and Ohio Railroad Company
say they will use water from works
and will pay sum that, on the
start, would seem to insure success
to the undertaking.. Cautious action
is no doubt policy in the main, but
too much slow going must result
detrimental TO the best interests.
From a causal glance at the situa-
ton, enough rental has been pro-
missed to keep down an excessive
tax-rate. This done, the citizens
need feel no timidity in voting for
the measure. We do not champion
the cause merely from the fact of
wanting to create a boom, but be-
cause we want too see the town get
out of the ruts in which it has been
struggling for too many years al
ready. Mr. Wright may seem too
eager to have the matter promptly
and decisively settled, but he only
does so for the best and future well
fare of the town. 1t cannot be de-
MED, there are to be found among
our people those who stand ready
and willing to kick over the traces
at the bare mention of healthy i'm
provement. Even this class can be
converted, and nothing will so
quickly accomplish the convention
az a good pure water supply. Then
they will have an opportunity to
lave vigorously and be cleansed of
of their doubling. Every property
holder can rest well assured that the
matter is not being entered into
without due consideration and prac-
teal tests on the part of council,
and now it rests with our citizens by
their vote just what they would
have the town become a thriving,
busting, little city, or still have it
continue as it is for all time. The
question is plain one. Act wisely
and we'll.

Very successruI business.

The encouragement of home industry is
something which everybody doesn't al
ways practice. When, however, the
character of the goods and the quality of
the workmanship will compare with the
very best obtainable elsewhere, there is
no possible excuse for anyone going away
from home to purchase goods. We have
in Cheyenne a cigar mandatory which
would be a credit to any town. Its pro-
prietor is Frank Boehm, who has built up
frcm a small beginning a thriving and
constantly extending business. He has
done this by the honesty of his goods
and the superior quality of his work man
ship. The article which he puts upon
the market is always exactly what he rep
resents it to be, and it is always worth
the full value that he charges for it. Mr..
Boehm has won success by deserving it,
and he deserves from the people of Chey-
enne the encouragement which their bust
ness would give him.

The stock Exhibits.

Every visitor to the fair grounds will be
attracted by the magnificent display OF
stock, particularly of horses. The cattle
exhibit is limited in quantity, A. H.
Hurd's showing Of Herefords being the
chief attraction. There is a bunch of
ffty-nine Durham bulls and heiters from
Kentucky shown in one of the pens close
tothe gate which are for sale. They are
the property of Z. s. Mayes.
Sheep, Angora goats and hogs occupy
the adjoining pens.
What attracts the keenest interest is
the display of heavy imported horses.
The Importing Draft Horse company, of
Lincoln, Ncb., exhibit half a dozen shire
horses. The f. f. Warren Mercantile
company show three English draft horses,
of a beautiful rich bay color, a Cleveland
bay, and jack and Jenny.

shows fine English shire horses, and VIM.

OF the same breed. The two lunches
contain some magnificent animals, such
as one doesn't often In a lifetime have a
chance to see. q. B Goodell shows
some fine brood mares and colts hat are
very handsome animals to look upon and
as gentle as kittens.
The Post Percberon Association makes
by far the most elaborate display. They
have forty animals on exhibition, chiefly
magnificent Percherons and French coach
horses, The spectacle of these superb
animals on parade stirs the blood in the
most sluggish veins. w. Ii. Force is
superintendent of the horse department
and w. Blau. assistant.
