It will be noticed, however, that Frederick has nothing to say concerning the date when he will begin to draw his salary. We suspect that Douglass knows what diplomacy is.

THE congratulations extended in the re- publican state platform to the working men of Pennsylvania must make interest ing reading for Carnegie's men and the miners of the state who have been com pelled to accept reduced wages to escape starvation.

FROM the fact that number of saloon keepers have been arrested in Waterbury Hartford Post argues that the law is unpopular in Waterbury, Tho Post is wrong. The objection is not to the law, but to the way in which the law is persecution rather than prosecution in Waterbury.

IN 1887 the New York Tribune said: "Most of the Louisiana gang have been brought into prominence by the fact that they were charged with being great ras calls. The country is weary of the whole lot, especially of Pitkin." Some of the Louisiana gang, including Pitkin, have again been brought into prominence by President Harrison picking them out tc hold public office And, singularly enough, the Tribune has nothing to say about it. Its editor has been muzzled by being given fat office himself

DR HENRY F. GILL,
 PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON,


 Free Consultation from a. m. to 9 p. m. Office closed Sundays till November l. SOME OF THE REASONS Why it is to the advantage of those in need of Skilful Medical Services to employ Dr Gill. 1st-He is the only regular graduate of Medicine and Surgery ill this part of the State making speciality of CHRONIC COMPLAINTS and FEMALE DIFFICULTIES, 2u-lIc has had an extended experience of over - years in hospital and private practice and has successfully treated thousands. 3d-Dr Gills combination Method'' of curing disease is based on Science and Experience, the result of years of study and practice, and iS most successful.
 4th-ln the of remedies the Doctor is ECLEC- TIC. He nothing but the purest Ncge- table Extracts and has everything prepared according to his own formulas by Skillful Chemists.
 5th-IIe is moderate in his terms and shows special consideration for those in poor cir cumstanccs who are worthy. Patients pay by the month and the doctor furnishes all medicine without extra charge. Gtll-Dr Gill can be consulted on the most del icate medical subject in the STRICTEST CONFIDENCE, and ladies, married or single, can be assured of honorable treatment and speedy relief. Good board and nursing when required. Parties writing for terms ad. vice must give full name and enclose stamp.

WITH the experience of Tacoma and Spokane Falls fresh in mind it is not a very opportune time to rail at the efforts of our democratic fire commissioners ill endeavoring to give Waterbury q depart ment capable in every way of coping with any fire that may visit us. Nor are oul citizens likely to take kindly to the at
 empt that is making in certain quarters tc bring politics into the management of the departments affairs. If there is any one department of the city government where politics should be sedulously excluded it is the fire department. There would be less politics there we take it if there was less Exposition on the part of the republican members and their editorial advisers to twist everything that is done into parti san snarl. More business and less politics would satisfy everybody else.

THE FOLLY OF IT.

The folly of the screen law as a means of persecution in the hands of an unscru- pulous and sordid prosecuting agent is being made clear with each new case that comes up before Judge Cowell in our police court. It is the interpretation that is put upon the law by the money grab ping Colley that is bringing the law and its enforcers into we'll deserved contempt.
 In so far as we have been able to see, and certainly so far as has been disclosed by the cases already heard, there has been less objection, on the part of liquor dealers, to the law itself than to the man. ner in which it has been interpreted and sought to be enforced. It is not that they have been compelled to do business under conditions radically different from those for which they paid license, not that they have been compelled to go to unnecessary

THE Macedonian cry has already gone out from the third congressional district of Louisiana to the republican national committee. It will certainly be needed as the republicans are in need of every con- gressman they can elect, buy or steal in the next house. But whether the help of the national committee will avail in the face of the bitterness caused by the ap pointment of ex-Governor Yarmouth as collector of the port of New Orleans is what is disturbing the digestion of the Jepublican leaders There are some pretty long knives, and sharp ones too, carried by the republicans of this district, and they have already on more than one oc- casion demonstrated their capacity for using them. Their noise has already been heard on the whetstone, and unless all signs fail there will be aEmerry slaughter bee when the Kellogg men get chance to rip Mir Miner on election day. Orpossibly the muttering that is so loud and deep may be only hint Ia Brewer to the ad ministration at Washington. These south ern republicans are slippery as cells.

The notorious western "graen goods"
operator Charles II. Perry alias Henry
Perry WAS arrested ct 10 o'cloch Tuesday
morning on the steps OF post ofi,se build-
ing by Post office Inspector W. J. Max
we'll on the charge Of using the mails TO
defrand tho government.
The prisoner was Immediately taken
before United States Commissioner Henry
@. Conrad, when his trial was COM
menoed. The witnesses ageinst the
prisoner were Inspector Maxwell and
Deputy postmaster A. x. Robinson. The
exact charge was that he has been sending
out circulars inviting people to send him

and 800 for S25. Although no definite
instance Of exchange OF money was given
in evidence, attempt to defraud the malls
was proved.

quarters rent for them. He il recog-
niaed as an extensive opeator In ''green

JOINT CONFERENCE.

This Prospects of sho New Pussen-
ger eai,say Qua Eighth street,
Tao directors Of the Wilmington City
Passenger Railway Company and repre-
sen.S,ivss of the proposed Eighth sraet
railway met al the office at the middle
depot Monday night in joint conference.
The question was discussed rs TO
whether tho new road should be run In.
dependently or under tho auspices Of the
City Passenger Railway Company. There
IL, it seems, no rivalry or clash Of in
terest between the parties,
II Is understood that whatever will be
ultimately accomplished as regards
control OF the road will be
largely IL not altogether influ-
enued by che opinion of the present
and prospective stockholders OF the new
road ia addition to that of the residents
of the locality which the road will
traverse.
1t Is understood as settled that the new
rosd will be an electric one in fact IL
could with difficulty be anything else.
II the City Passenger Railway Company
take control tneHe would be no need Of
looking for charter as that company's
rights entitle IL TO run anywhere within
the city limits and to any point six miles
beyond. That is they might run street
railway to New CASTLE, Riyerview, or any
point within the conceded mileage. The
first section of the Eighth street railway
would be from Market to Union street.
There will be another meeting held
Monday evening next.

TINE COUNTY MoRreAenD.
Serious state of Affairs Existing II

Serious state OF Affairs Existing I'm
New Castle county To-day.
In commenting Monday upon the re-
cont tax collectors campaign End upon
TOPICS Rermape TO 1t such ns the need OF
greater economy in levy court adminia-
traiion, in order that the extreme burdens
OF taxation upon the cirzsus In New
CASTLE county be brought within some
reasonable Init q prominent farmer OF
,his county pAid: "Ot the 1900 or 90
farms in New Castle county there are not
so which ore without q mortgage, aud
quite 99l per cent Of the farmers are
compelled az this moment TO practice tho
most rigid economy IN order TO maize the
two ends meet mud to keep from falling
back into the miie OF debt"
"Theu you farmers, here" queried the
reporter, Unjust be almost As badly of as
they are reported to be ia New Hamp-
shire where propristors are glad to rent
their farms free Of charge ~ long as the
renter viii keep the buildings and fences
liz repair ~ Pretty nigh. Our taxeH are
so high through the CARELESS, almost
criminal manage ment OF the levy court
that the beLt that can DO done by
iarmer in this county is to make soant
and very frugal living.
"0f cOurse we know the reason that a
farmer here oannot make fortune ia the
low psioe OF western corn and western
beet. We oaDuot expect TO compete
against these facts but We think III tha
face OF these hAIiships the farmer Of New
CASTLE county ia entitled TO IN adminiatra-
ton OF the county affairs by such
policy OF economy as will make his
buIthsns lighter instead Of increasing his
prospects OF hardship"
The farmer continued In very emphatic
terms to explain that on his farm, Just IS
upon thosa Of most Of his neighbors,
nothing il wasted-not straw, no. q
root. Everyone has TO work hard and
there Ia very little time and less means
for ordinary ease or the pleasures VI life,
What hs considered proper Was the aboi
iehipg Of the levy court pltogether and
the substitution OF three commissioners
who could do all the needed work Just os
effectively and with the saving OF several
thousands Of dollars year In taxes to
the county.
The compliant Is that wasteful e1pendi-
lures are made; contracts are mismenaged
and carried on to the advantage OF those
who have them in hanie, TO the extreme
and unwafrantable exosrse of thu CHI
zens OF the county, and that while com.
l'int after complaint is msds, there il
60 redress or pte'eDce q official reoti-
tuds. Johs are t,umped up OF no COM
prehensiye public benefit which help
only few, and il seems as II nobody
dare question the need Of the work OF the
authority by which il is done or who
| ineepted il.
