The property owners and citizens OF
South Wilmington will hold a public
meeting in few days to organize fire
company in that vicinity. A number OF
active and responsible men are already
interested in the matter and have signi-
fed taeir willingness TO give liberally foi
its establishment and maintenance. This
portion of the city is wholly unprotected
and in the case Of large FIRE, it gains
much headway before the companies
from this city reach the spot. Some
young men there have already expressed
a desire to join the company, and in 6
short time they would make very efficient
fremen. The money for the company
win be raised by popular subscription
and the engine house will be located il
some suitable place in that vicinity. TIL,
large firms there will be likely to give
large subscriptions for its support.

eThe sea Kinr.n

''The Sea King" is to be given by the
William ]. Sullivan Opera Company al
the Chestnut Street Opera House, Phila
delphia, beginning Monday, May 26. II
Is romantic opera comique, the scene
of which is laid in Spain, the period OF
action being the latter part Of the six.
teenth century. There is thus afforded
a splendid opportunity for handsome
costuming and beautiful pictorial effects.
The story is romantic. with much OF
legendary charm, and with an under
current Of refined and exquisite humor
The music is strikinglY original and en-
titled to the highest rank among modern
compositions. 1t Is melodious, though
not Of the sort that may be termed
catchy, but is a concourse Of sweet
sounds that win delight the ear ans
haunt the memory.

The EVENING JOURNAL has got its
hands full in its fight with the Della
warean and the Every Evening. The
editors of either Of the latter sheets
know more Of Delaware politics. and
politics in general, in single moment,
than does the rebsl editor OF the jour
NAL in lifetime.
This comparison does not show that
the editors referred to have more intelli-
gence, but that the editor Of the Gazette
has none.

PUT in practice the theory of the
benefcence Of the protective tariff
towards the workingman does not pro-
duce the effect 1t is warranted to pro-
duce. This tree, symmetrical and healthy
to look upon, does not produce fruit, but
thcrns. The high tariff is warranted to
give the farmers home market and to
increase the wages Of the laborer. The
manufacturer pays s125 to labor for
producing ton Of pig iron. The Gov
ernment gives the manufacturer SO. 72 in
order to enable him to pay that $l.25.
The manufacturer pays SO for producing
q ton Of steel rails; the Government
gives him $17 to enable him to pay it.
The people pay $500. 600, 600 annually
to maintain q home market for

wheat, beef, pork and rice abroad in a
free trade market while they keep their
corn and garden-truck at home to burn

The Odessa Herald says

AS more than nine-tenths Of the value
of manufactures consist of the labor
bestowed upon their production, II
necessarily follows that about an equal
proportion Of any reduction in price
must come of those who perform the
labor.
That did not follow when the tariff
duty was removed from quinine, from
silk and from hides. In fact each one Of
these industries has been stimulated,
more men are employed and at higher
wages. The reasons for that are obvious,
namely: an unlimited, instead Of a
limited market, and increased consu mp
tiOn because OF decreased prices.

THE Mckinley bill is going through
the House practically under the gag
rule. This seems very queer since the
committee has changed the tariff from
prohibitory duty to free trade in less than
twenty four hours time on several com.
modities. If the committee is so doubt
ful as that indicates, in what state Of
mind must be many such men as Butter
worth and Henderson. There is some
thing wrong about that bill Either the
members who do not approve Of it have
been silenced with the plea that it is
simply a buncombe bill which cannot
pass the Senate or their support has
been purchased or obtained by the dicker
OF one industry against another.
