TWENTY thousand dollars is the
amount estimated by the engineer in
charge, as adequate to do the work
required at the mouth of our river.
Twenty thousand dollars is notenOugh;
in fact, it is only drop in the bucket.
Give us hundred thousand dollars
and the work can be done at once, but
appropriate only twenty thousand dol
lars,an after spending it and partly
doing the work, the tides, ETC., etc,
will undo it before another appropri-
alton can be made. In this manner
the national government will spend
a half million dollars to do what one
hundred Thousand would do il prop.
erly managed. What we want, and
what we are entitled to, is one huNdyed
thousand dollars, AT ONCE, and then
the work can be pushed TO completion,
and the many ship yards of our town
will boom as they never have doomed
since the election of Grover Cleveland
as President Come, Senator Higgins,
you have hosts of friends in lower
Kent and upper Sussex, and they are
all full Of this idea Of improved nRvi-
cation. Would you make your friends
better and stronger friends? Would
you make your enemies your support
ers? We know you love your friends;
we know you are grateful to this hot
bed of Republication; and now we
come to you and ask that you make it
your business to give us what we want.
that you make this town even more
strongly Republican, by inducing Con-
gress to give us the one hundred thous-
and, all at one time. You can do all
we say, for both yourself aud for Re
publioanism in Delaware.

THIS country has never heen visited
by the "seventeen-year" locust in de-
vastating numbers, but local prophets
claim that according TO Mother Ship
toms prophecy the year 1889 will he
visited with this plague along with
others to create famine and woe.
The first one Ofthe season so far report
ed, wass seen on Sunday evening last on
Front street,in this town. The locust
was about one aud a-quarter inches
long and half inch wide with fibrOus
wings of dark drab or muddy color.
1t cireled around space Of about six
feet in diameter, as it assembled to a
height that the eye could just follow,
and then flew away in north west
erly direction. At this writing no one
has reported another, but by those
who believe in necrOmancy it is feared
a few days may bring them in such
numbers as to injure, if not entirely
destroy, growing crops.

SECRETARY BLAINE has not yet re-
signed; to the great disappointment Of
the Democratic brethren! Brother
Blaine has always been a source of dis
pleasure and disappointment to the
Democrats of the nation and they hate
him for the friends he has made, while
the Republicans love him, almost idol
ize him, for the same reason. Mr..
Blaine will continue for a long time
to come to be source OF displeasure
to the free traders of this country, aud
he will always be found working with
the friends of the laboring man, cham
pioning their cause, and winning
friends to the policy of protection to
the American mechanic, and prOtec-
ton to American industries.

THE DelaUa,e Democrat does not
want anew Constitution; is opposed to
a protective tariff; is heart and soul in
favor of the assessment law as it now
works, and is hundred years behind
the times ia all things. But, why
should we be so personal, all this
would be explained by simply saying,
"She is democratic to the core"
Come, Judge, get out into the light.
Why should you continue to grOpe

century? You are too "hail fellow

you certainly now do Come out into
the light of the world, and as soon as
you get out of the darkness of mid
night into the MONDAY brightness,
you will scarcely know thyself, tue
transformation will be so complete.
When this happens, though, we will
be prepared for the millennium.

After recovery from a severe attack Of con-
gestion Of the brain and stomach, my little
son had a number Of bad ulcers and running
sores to come on his head and body, which
lasted for four years. l tried all the doc
tors and many remedies which were re-
commended by other parties, but the sores
still grew worse, until did not expect him
to recover. NV friends were confident that
if the sores healed it would kill him. I at
length quit all other treatment and put him
on Swift's Specific, and less than three bot
ties cured him sound and we'll, and he is to

Improvement Abroad.
NEW York, March 12.-The news from
abroad in reference to the copper syndicate
was of a less excited nature this morning
The action of prominent London bankers
yesterday in coming forward and assuming
control of the syndicates affairs has had
re-assuring effect upon the foreign market
and to-day Chill bars improved "a on spot,
and e5 on futures Gables from London
stated that the market was firm at the
advance. From Paris intelligence came
that Societe des Metaux shares we're quoted
at $50 francs, and Rio Tinto at 243 francs
HOLDING OFF AT NEW YORK.
Despite the improvement in the foreign
market. operators here were not inclined to
take hold of metal to-day. The Lake cop
per call passed without a bid being re-
ceived, and offers for good merchantable
brands were purely nominal and no sales
resulted. Bears on Change shook their
heads ominously when the improved
foreign cables came i'll and argued that the
Mathesons action yesterday was prompted
with a view of affording loop hole for the
Rothschilds to get out of the French cor
poration.
FURTHER IMPROVEMENT 'LoOKEDs FOR.
Further improvement of ga or 95, they
said, In London figures, would not be sur
prising. When tue price had reached $50
or Whereabouts for spot Chill bars, the bears
further argued, the money men at the head
OF the syndicate would quickly dispose of
their stock and leave the monopoly to its
ultimate fate All the financial aid re-
ceived by the syndicate of late is attributed
to this cause
