BERLIN, February 1S.-Pince Bismarck
stated, in very free spirit. in converse
ton held at the last parliamentary dinner,
the relations between himself and the en-
peror and the position in which he stood.
He said: The emperor certainly likes me.
and as to many things he relies upon me,
but he has stut b IN will. and when he
has once made up his mind, even cannot
influence it. nor can any other man."
knowing the headstrong character he
has to deal with and guide, if that is posi-
bic. the chancellor has to give loose rein
to the imperial mule, Idle kugel sch,essen-
lassen.) confident that experience will tame
the impetuosity of the emperor's present
yearnlng to control and regulate rything.
After the session of the council of state was
ended, there was held a very interesting
and animated reception, at which rince
Bismarck presented to the emperor ali the
industrial and non-military members.
Much was said in the co rse of this recep-
tiop upon the point that the workingman
would ct appre, iate the interest that the
emperor felt In their welfare. and that
gross ingratitude from them would be the
only res Onse to the effort to ameliOrate
their condition. The emperor responded:
ITO earn the gratitude of the worklngman
is not my motive. Ny motive is to see that
justice 10 done. If the souls of the work
ingmen are so hardened that they cannot
properly respond to what We shall endeavor
to do for them, taat also must be que to
the degradation of misery, and gives more
ne: son for coming to their rescue"
1t is thought that during the returns for
the r.chstag every part of the country will
be quiet. The meet ms of the socialists
everywhere are now undisturbed. The po-
Lee have been ordered to cease to interfer
with them.. The emperor has especially
warned tie police bureau here to refrain
from many practices of doubtful proprlety,
and has plainly said that he will not tolerate
the system of sending out officers N dis
guIse to entrap the uuwary into commit
ting crime.

The beautiful and spacious quarters
for A. G. Yates & Co., at the southwest
corner of Thirteenth and Chestnut
streets. which were formally opened on
Saturday last, attracted general attention
by its bright and cheerful appearance.
Increasing trade in mems clothing caused
the removal from No. 1910 Chestnut
street Besides their large store in the
Ledger Building at Sixth and Chestnut
streets, the firm now occupies this entire
building, four stories in heighth, having q
frontage on Chestnut street of thirty.
seven feet, and a depth on Thirteenth
street OF 10S feet, Abundant light has
been secured by the many windows on
the three sides.
An electric plant has been introduced
so that. besides the numerous means for
light by gas, there will be ample electric
illumination. Also an elevator, by which
the four floors can be easily reached with.
out incurring fatigue in ascending. The
interior has been attractively finished
and furnished, the walls having been
painted in delicate and subdued colors.
Everything suggests elegance, comfort
and convenience
Considerable change was made to the
FIRST floor, in adapting It 10 the require
ments of Yates & Cos business. The
entrance at the corner Of Thirteenth auo
Chestnut streets has been closed up, and
the door is now to the western side OF
the Chestnut street front. BY this
means opportunity was afforded for the
construction of large show window, a:
large, probably. as in the city It take:
up ali the space on Chestnut street, will

ample facility for fine display of cloth

The second floor has been reserved fc

lost, which is surprising when It is sal
that the building is loaded down wit

The EVENING JOURNAL is an exception
among the papers Of Delaware in not
being indebted to Senator Higgins for a
copy Of report by John b. Hawes, a
commercial agent Of the United States at
Reichenberg, Austria, on "The Sugar.
Beet Industry Of Bohemia We would
have expressed profound gratitude If we
had received one. But we did not have
the chance. The Senator has not given
us an opportunity to praise him, except
By his conspicuous appointments Our
praise Of them was necessarily mild We
did have the heart to excel

THE admirable speech Of Mr.. E. r.
Cochran at the Young Mems Democratic
Club rooms last night was the first ssnsi
BILE and practical exposition Of the affairs
of the county since the agitation began.
An epitome Of his clear and logical speech
is given in another column. We think
Mr. Cochran erred in intimating that the
''overproduction" of wheat and corn was
a calamity. Agriculture is the wealth of
the country. Wheat and corn are the
results Of agriculture. We cannot have
too much wealth. Our farms cannot be
too large or too prolific. Their prodHce
is wealth. What we suffer from is the
increased amount Of produce it costs q
farmer to market his produce over taxed
steel rails into city where he
he has TO exchange his produce in an
unfriendly market at an average rate of
AZ per cent. discount. The prices of
wheat and cotton are fixed in Liverpool.
II farmer could bring back the full
value Of his produce there he would be
obtaining a profitable price, but ne has
to pay tax of az per cent. before he can
obtain his goods from the Custom House.
The prices Of his produce are not so low
If the prices of everything
he receives in exchange were
not so high. Mr.. Cochran
is farmer. He wore suit Of wooler
clothes, for which he paid, say $45. The
tariff dnty on such goods is from so tx
so per cent. Hence with wheat at X
cents, that suit cost OF bushels q
wheat, when 1t should have cost but 3.
bushels. Mr.. Mullin will tell you thai
he buys all such goods abroad-tha
after 80 years Of infancy our fac
tories are still satisfied to max
"shoddy "and collect so per cent from th'
people. They make such profits from th'
tariff that they do not attempt to secur
the home market on honest clothes
That's how the tariff hurts the farmer

forty years. As he was the only colored
fisherman in New Castle for many years
the boys would enjoy great deal of fun
at his expense. When the bright April
sun would begin to show its face, how
ever, it would play sad havoc with the
faces, necks and arms of the heretofore
white men. Their necks would turn yel-
low, brown, chestnut and then
almost black. Twas then that tn 9
tables were turned and Maxfeld would
come out before crowd of fishermen and
jeer at them for being two-faced and
changing their color so often. He has
grown two flowing patches Of gray wool
from each side of his almost bald head
and his appearance now is quite "guber-
material. He will be dubbed Benny"
this year. Another old fisherman, Samuel
Pedrick, probably the oldest on the river,
was compelled TO withdraw from the
business last year, after a continuous
service of more than fifty seasons.

THE Farmers Alliance has become
troublesome. The Republicans cannot
satisfy them with tariffs on hops, pota-
toes and acorns any longer. They met
even in Kansas and denounced Senator
Ingalls, for holding a seat in the senate
for eighteen years without having
offered or advocated a single measure in
the interest Of agriculture. Ingalls, is a
fair exponent Of Republicanism. 1t goes
wild In protecting the rich manufacturer
and goes wilder when the mortgaged
farmer asks for relief.
