SOFT CRABS.

The new hotel at Cedar Beach is
furnished and is most complete in
every particular. But what is of
special interest to the people gener-
ally is the cuisine. The season of
soft crabs is rapidly approaching
and there is no place along the shore
where you VIII get them served so
nicely as at Cedar Beach
As a summer resort this place is
unexcelled and the schedule of
amusements is most excellent.
The bar is fully supplied with
the best imported and domestic
wines liquors and cigars.
The sleeping apartment are large
and airy and the spacious veranda
give an excellent sea view and are
always exposed to a delicious breeze.

ANOTHER staggering blow has been
dealt the berry business 10y the public
carrier known as adams Express
Company" by refusing to take ber-
ries to points east of New York from
growers Oh this Peninsula. With the
markets in New England closed to us
by express, berry growing ceases to be
profitable, and to say that this high
handed act on the part of the express
company meets with general disgust,
but family expresses the feelings of
growers and shippers. BIackberries $
in Hartford, Conn, last week before
the order went into effect sold for from
twelve to fifteen cents per quart, aud
afterwards the same berries by freight
brought only six cents per quart:
which illustrates the necessity of
prompt arrivals of fast trains. No
cause was assigned for this aclion by
the express company; but il is gener-
ally believed that it was compelled to
issue the order by the railroad people,
whose trains were greatly delayed by
the heavy express. It may be possi-
bic that men at the head of great cor
poratiOns know how to manage their
affairs better than other people but
it appears to be an unwise course to
pursue to reiard growing business of
this character. Il would be far better
to push the double track on the Della
ware railroad more rapidly; or, better
still. have had it built last fall and win
ter, that the perishable crops of this
Peninsula and from its southern feed
ers might be run into market without
delay.
Blame for this order is laid upon the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad, which declines to haul less
than full train of express, or more
than two cars on its passenger trains;
but this is but poor excuse. Forif the
Pennsylvania delivered the cars, they
as q common carrier are bound to haul
them TO their destination. Farmers
may be contrary in the eyes of railroad
and express people. but they are intel
ligent enough to know that they have
rights that public carriers must re-
spect, and that such carriers have GER
tain obligations resting upon them for
fostering the business that yields them
freight.
Many people contemplated plant
ing acres Of berries aud small
fruits this fall; but with the present
orders in force, by both rail and ex-
press, the business will receive an un-
necessary check. If some grower Of
means would apply for an injunction
restraining the express company from
closing the eastern markets from our
berries by the Adams Express Com
pany on the grounds oft being com
mon carrier, the result would have q
beneficial effect.

IT appears now that from thirty to
thirty-fve cents Der five-eighths of a
bushel basket, will be the average price
Of peaches in this market; but even at
these figures the growers are a little
shy. Il does look as if they had little
or nothing to lose by not selling at
these prices. and possibly more may be
realized. AT any rate, it is not likely
that men will lose their heads this sea-
sOnand sell before the markets. opened
We believe that with the prospect for
an unusual large pack of eyaporated
fruit, evaporators cannot afford more
than twenty-five--Or at most-thirty
cents per basket for fruit; yet there
are always people who rush in blindly
and establish prices beyond the pay
ing limit. Whatever the result may
be, the difference in prices is so little,
that be it to the advantage Of either
grower or packer, each can afford to
await developments. The peach bus
iness is peculiar, IN the fact that no
preceding year may be used as a cri-
terion for the present. The yield in
dried fruit, prices for this product, bad
weather ana other causes, operate to
make the business either profitable or
a losing speculation; but for the sake
Ofthe laboung people, we hope to see
the evaporators and Gamers make

A Pleasure Shared by Women

Malherbe, the gifted French author, de-
elared that Of all things that man possesses,
women alone take pleasure in being posses
sed. This seems generally true Of the
sweeter sex. Like the ivy plant she longs
for an object to cling to and love-to look to
for protection. This being her prerogatiye,
ought she not be told that DR.. Pierce's Fav-
orite Prescription is the physical salvation Of
her sex? It banishes those distressing mala-
dies that make her life burden, curing all
painful irregularities, uterine disorders, in
flammation and liberation, prolapsus and
kindred weaknesses As a nervine, it cures
nervous exhaustion, prostration, debility,re-
leives mental anxiety and hypochondria, and
promotes refreshing sleep.

UNPLEASANT developments IN GER
tain business transactions with build
ing loan associations has besmirched
the judicial ermine OfJudge Cummins,
the city judge for Wilmington. Com
menting on the affair, the Morning
Meas says:
Unfortunately for Mr. Cummins, however,
he holds judicial position, which, although
minor in its jurisdiction, is nevertheless as
important within its scope as any. It does
not need to be said that what Mr. Cummius
or any other man may do, as a private citi-
zen, without public censure, neither Judge
Cummins nor any other judge can do with
ont destroying the respect and confidence
necessary to the wholesome administration
Of law. In the case Of a private citizen deal
ing in money matters with his friends and
neighbors there is presumption that the
friends and neighbors will have sufficient
sense to see that they are not cheated, that
there is good security for all moneys lent,
and that all the necessary conditions of the
bargain or arrangement are precisely as they
are represented to be. But in the case of a
judicial officer the presumption is that the
man himself possesses such a character that
the ignorance, credulity or carelessness Of
those with whom he may have financial deal
ings shall work them no insecurity or loss,
and that however needless or improvident
he may be on his own account, he will omit
no precaution for the security and entire
safety of all those who place financial conf
dence in him.
Upon the byiMa facie statement Of the
case against Judge Cummins he has pursued
a most extraordinary course. What, for ex-
ample, must we think Of man who has OBJ
tanned $4,000 by mortgage on property as
sessed at $4,000, or $4,000 by mortgage on
property assessed at SI2,ooo3 Everybody
knows that fifty per centum of the assessed
is as high as money can be lent on
with safety to the lender, and a
judge would be thought to be the one man
who would not exceed this limit in any
money which he might have occasion to
borrow. The reported facts point toward
single alternative-eith that Judge Cum
Minis did not know any better or else that he |
knew great deal better. In either case he |
is not the man to fill judicial position
We understand that he does not mean to
he sees no occasion for such a !
step on his part. From his point of view
this is a natural conclusion. For him to re-
sign would be 10 confess that he is guilty, |
and every man is loath voluntarily to do any
thing which wears the color Of confession |
Of guilt. So long as Mr.. Cummins holds to
this determination he cannot be driven from
The bench by public opinion. But it is clear,
as the Morning NeieS said the other day,
that he ought either to resign or let his res
gnation depend upon the result of an inn
partial investigation.

Marketing Peaches.
Doyer Hder.l


There seems to be a difference Of
opinion among our fruit growers as to
the best method of harvesting aud dis
posing of the enormous peach crop
now in prospect. The Delaware Fruit
Exchange and the Bureau Of Informa-
ton and Distribution each offer the
growers all the facilities at their com
mand,and both organizationsa are doing
all they possibly can in the interest OF
the growers. Still there is difference
of opinion as to which method will be
the most advantageous to the growers.
The plan proposed by the Fruit Ex-
change is to establish markets at our
depois, bring foreign buyers here and
grade and sell the fruit through the
Exchange to the highest bidder. The
Bureau Of Information proposes to open
up foreign market and ship the fruit
away to be sold aud to so control the
shipments as not to allow any one
market to become glutted. By the
Fruit Exchange you sell the fruit and
get your money before it leaves the
depot less the Exchange charges.
This plan has been found very satis-
factory to the growers for the last few
years, having realized more money
for their fruit than ever before. By
the Bureau of Information and Distri-
bntion, as we understand it, you turn
your fruit over to the association, who
select the market and forward it to
the commission men. who have been
proved reliable, to be sold ut the mar
ket rates at the place received aud the
growers get the proceeds less the com
mission and freight charges. Either
plan is an improvement upon the old
way of shipment by the growers, but
as there are always two kinds of pur-
chasers (the man who wants it be-
cause he needs it, and the man who |
wants ii because he can speculate on |
i) in every market for all products,
it strikes us that the plan of the Fruit
Exchange is the plan likely to bring |
us the man who needs the fruit. Then /
again, it is sold and paid for here, and
a bird in the hand is frequently worth
two in the bush. For that reason we
would prefer the Exchange, the charges
being equal. Still, from present pros
poets, both organizations will be taxed
to their Utmost capacity, and any plan
that will help us to dispose of the pres
ent prospective crop should be encour-
aged by the growers, and both organi-
cations should work harmOniously
together.

THE editor Of the STATE Sentinel APP
pears to be tenacious in his opposition
to the State militia, with the evident
intent to create a public prejudice that
can be worked Into campaign mater
ial. We believe that the motive that
actuates him is not from q desire to
protect the people from. .extravagance
or Ignorance OF the law. His inuen-
does indicate either ignorance (which
is hardly pOssible) Of the source from
whence the money to support the State
militia comes, or a mistaken jealous
ness for the Republican party. In a
late issue of the Sentinel he says:
Would not the money expended upon the
militia be more practically expended in open
ing up the ponds along the bayshore to tide
water, so as to break up the mosquito fac
tories?
The writer certainly knows that the
money drawn from the National gov
ernment for the purpose of sustaining
State militia can not be perverted into
ahoJhef chanheli Dut must be applied
for this purpose or be let alone. Again:
Such arguments or inuendoes are in
furious to the Republican party which
he SO zealously espouses. In the sew
eral militia companies Of Delaware are
enlisted many young republicans who
know such statements to be false, and
whose respect for their party locally
must be lessened by the mis-state-
ments of the Sentinel It cannot be
that its editor is opposed to military
organizations; for in its last issue it
