Tie two exhibitions of the Wilmington
! fair have demonstrated the fact that II
compares fGvOrabiy with tue largest fairs
held iu the middle statas, and the success
attending the first two ventures OF the
association have shown that this fair can
be made financial succes1 TO the aiock-
holders Hs wsii ns o peennisry bonoGt to
Wilmington, and the managers epp-ecinte
the fact that they must keap in lhe van
with new ideas and improvements in
order to maintain the standard OF excel,
lenos and energy already established.
For that reas0n every effort will be bent
to make the venture this year marked
improvement over the previous two feirs.
In the number and merit o! its exhibits
last fall, the local fair wBB equaied by
fow and outstripped by nora OF the big

If Judge Houston really thought the
Law of 1873 was unconstitutional 1t is a
pity he did not write an opinion demon
stratins his belief. Il was duo to the
question and il was more then due TO his
own reputation. Never before within the
past hait century has that honorable man
bsen unable to give reasons for the faith
which was in him. All his desultogy talk
about the right OF suffrage being inherent
and inalieneb!e, hits far wide OF the mark
the people of th state Ere accustomed to
SOC him aim at, snd even The counsel in
the case in whose favor he leaned did not
claim such thing.

WHO WILL BE THE LEADER?

That Question not yet Solved by the Irish
National Party.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-The meeting of the
Irish members Of commons called to
consider what action the nationalist party
shall take in regard to the leadership of
the party took place today. Parnell pre-
sided. About rs Irish members were
present. A great bundle of kilograms
was handed in. The proceedings were
OF the stormlest character. Parnells
supporters strove hard to secure an ad-
journment, urging that the meeting to
decide the question OF the leadership of
the Irish party should be held in Dublin.
Adjournment was holly opposed. The
meeting renamed In session until 6
O'Clock, when it adjourned for an hour.
LONDON, Dec. IA brief interview
was held with Parnell this evening. Re-
garding the Gladstone letter he said it
completely absolved him from any obi
CATION of secrecy respecting the liberal
proposals, but he would say nothing ex-
cept for the sake of home rule.
