Ship building is very brisk In this
city at present, and some of the yards
have all the work they can do for
many months. This we believe shows
that the work of Wilmington me-
chanies is known and appreciated all
over the country. Some of the ma
chine and other shops are also very
busy, while in some of the car shops
there is nothing to do and the men are
walking the streets. The indications
are tnat there will be greater bust
ness boom this spring than has been
experienced in this city for years. This
is especially the case in building opera
tons, as there arc already more build
ings contracted for than has been the
case at this season for many years.

The bill passed by the Legislature
providing that the State shall pay $25
toward the burial of each INDECENT
soldier who may die, is very good as
far as 1t goes, but it does not 60 far
enough, as, according to the amend
ment which was tackled on in the
Senate, this sum is only to be applied
toward the burial of those who served
in Delaware regiments. This seems
like very narrow minded, policy as
there are hundreds OF Delawareans
who served in regiments recruited in
other states. During the war there
was very little inducement offered to
men to enlist in this State, and in fact
an appropriation was made TO hire sub
stitutes 10 prevent the citizens being
drafted. 1t now looks as if this bill
was fixed up in the interests of these
men. Other states bury their deceased
INDECENT soldiers without regard to
the state in which they enlisted, and
a. looks like very small business on
the part OF Delaware not TO do the
same.

The movement in favor of having
the tax of one dollar on each thousand
dollars worth Of merchandise, pur-
chased by merchants or stoTekeepers,
repealed, is meeting with considerable
favor, not only from business men but
also from citizens. This tax Is OPP
pressiye and unjust, and no matter
whether there are one, two or three
taxes paid on the same article, the sum
total eventually comes out OF the con
sumers pockets. 1t is therefore op.
pressiye as it increases the cost Of
groceries, dry goods and other articles
unnecessarily We do not know how
many thousands of dollars this tax
amounts to in year, but VIC do know
that whatever it is the people, and not

old log cabin home cures, under the
name of Warmers Log Cabin Remedies.
and among other equally valuable arti-
c.es includes tue famous Log Cabin Sar-
ssparilla, which is everywhere recognized
as the best OF all spring medicines and
stands without rival for the cure Of all
disorders which are tie results OF impure

The spring time OF the year is the sea-
son when the system needs renovation;
the long winter has caused the blood to
b9come filled with impurities.
There exists no better means to aid and
strengthen the system at such an urgent
periot than the use of Warmers Log
Cabin Sareparilla, which speedily restores
the blood 10 d pure Rnd healthy state,
which insures health and happiness.
The reputation of the firm putting out
the medicine is above reproach, and is the
same firm which manufactures Warmers

cure of all those diseases peculiar to the
kidneys rs well as those which are the re-
suits OF disease In those organs, and
which has met with such phenomenal
success for the past ten years.

OF the country sometime prior to the Chit
csgo Convention which nominated Gen.
Harrison as a candidate for the Presi-
dency-hence the use made of the por-
ira t. OF the Harrlsons, father and grand

political foresight or in accordance with
the historical association OF the old Log

MONDAY, MARCH 1s. 1880.

The Legislature of Connecticut has
shown that 1t recognizes the evil
effects Of tobacco en- boys by passing a
law which forbids the selling of ci-
garettes or tobacco In any form to boys
under sixteen years of age. There
have been so many cases of narcotic
poisoning among the youth of this
country from the use OF tobacco that
1t is probable that other States will
follow the example of Connecticut and
enact similar laws. 1t has been dem
onstrated that the use of tobacco upon
the circulation OF the blood, and also
on the brain, especially in the forma-
tive period, 10 not only injurious but
dangerous. 1t increases the circulation
to such degree as to lead TO valvular
and other heart trouble, while several
instances have recently occurred where
boys have become insane from the use
of cigarettes. The evil became SO
great in the United States Naval
Academy at Annapolis that an order
has been issued making expulsion the
penalty for any cadet using tobacco.
Parents can do considerable towards
preventing the use of tobacco by their
sons, and by keeping close watch
over them may save themselves con.
siderable trouble.

The politicians are commencing to
make up their minds to the TACT that
President Harrison Intends to be Presi-
dent in something more than name,
and that he intends to administer the
duties OF his position for the best inter
ests of the country and the people. He
has only held the office fourteen days,
but in that brief time has shown that
he has will of his own. Ever since
his inauguration he have been beset by
ofhce-seekers, such is has never trou
bled any President before, with per.
haps the exception of Mr.. Lincoln, but
to all OF them he has shown that he
possesses power Of resistance which
prevents him becoming the servant or
tool of any one. Thus fer he has made
all his appointments with but little II
any regards to the wishes of those who
would like to run the government to
suit themselves. He selected his own
Cabinet and has made the foreign ap.
pointments 10 suit his own views. A
few days since he gave notice that fol
the present he would not hear any
more appeals for office, and in all thest
things has shown that he Is and in
tends to remain President.
